Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 224 Xiao Lan Was Confessed By A Girl
Looking at the burning traces of the incense stick, Machiko walked to the incense burner and compared the length with her hands.

"How much of this incense will you still have when you come back?"

The wife thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "About...there is still one third?"

One third, this kind of incense specially for the dead can be burned for about three to ten minutes, which means that the time between the intrusion and the return of the mother and daughter is not long.

"Could it be a stalker or something?" Officer Sato raised his index finger: "Just like Shuichi Akai before..."

Akai Shuichi? !
Hearing this name, Conan's attention was immediately attracted by Police Officer Sato. He pretended to be a child and approached Miwako Sato's legs and kept asking.

"Hey, Officer Sato, what is the relationship between Shuichi Akai and the stalker?"

"It's okay, it's just..."

After briefly telling Xiaolan and the others about Mr. Judy being followed, Officer Sato noticed that Conan's face was very strange.

"Hey, hey, are you digressing?" Machiko supported his wife's shoulder, looked at Conan dissatisfied,

"The most urgent thing is to solve the matter in front of you..."

Smiling embarrassedly, Conan reasoned again!The prisoner's real body, his eyes fell on the posthumous photo, and he seemed to think of something.

"By the way, how did you meet Mr. Yi?"

"My husband, he and I used to be classmates at Didan High School." The wife seemed to be recalling the past, with a hint of sweetness on her face.

"He and I started dating after we happened to meet on the road one day after graduating from college."

"That's different from Xiaolan and the others." Yuanzi held her chin, her cheeks slightly red, "She looks a bit like me."

What are you so shy about by yourself?

Glancing at Sonoko helplessly, Conan walked to the dining table, staring at the diary.

"Can you please tell me what is written in the diary?"

Machiko hugged her chest, quietly watching Conan make a move that a child of a grade should not have, then tilted her head and squinted at Xiaolan.

She was also embarrassed by Shinichi's habitual reasoning, but considering that her wife was really pitiful, Xiaolan had no choice but to clasp her hands and bend down to apologize to Machiko.

"My diary actually didn't write anything special." My wife noticed that Officer Sato took out a small notebook from his breast pocket and was writing and drawing with a ballpoint pen. After hesitating for a while, he spoke.

"I just wrote about working every day, and the tedious things of taking care of the children. They are all daily things."

Xiaolan felt a little sorry for the lady in front of her. She didn't know what to say, so she had to sit next to Machiko and said seriously: "I think you are working really hard."

Dazed for a moment, the wife seemed to be comforting Xiaolan, or explaining herself.

"Actually, I also thought about ending my life, but seeing the child and my husband who was seriously ill but positively wanted to live, gave up the idea of ​​suicide."

Sonoko and Xiaolan wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, only Conan, Officer Sato and Machiko looked at the lady calmly, with a little sympathy on their faces.

"Could it be a friend of yours who came to visit you?" Machiko took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Xiaolan, "Or maybe it was a man who fell in love with you and was observing you secretly."

In this case, it is reasonable to send money and worship, isn't it?

"Yes! For example, the person who wrote the love letter in high school!" Yuanzi thought of the love letter Xiaolan received, and the sad atmosphere faded a lot.

Why are you talking about love letters again? !

Glaring at Sonoko, then turned to look at his wife, Conan realized that she really thought of something.

"There is indeed one."

The wife took out a photo from the student album, which was a photo of her and a boy.

"Hey, isn't this the man at the door of the Kendo Club just now?"

Xiaolan picked up the photo, and before she could continue talking, Officer Sato got up and walked towards the entrance.

"In that case, I will go and bring the suspect over first."

After more than ten minutes, holding the photo, Machiko compared the bald man in it with the pirated long-haired Akai Shuichi standing opposite.

"Is this person you?"

Why doesn't it look like...

"It was me. At that time, I was still very young..." A Xiu sighed and looked affectionately at his wife standing in the corner.

"Sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Feeling goosebumps all over her body, Machiko coughed and signaled Officer Sato with her eyes to ask questions.

"Did you break into here this afternoon?"

Seeing that he was still trying to quibble, Machiko simply rolled her eyes: "Don't lie and put the person you like in fear. This is not what a man should do."

Nodding her head, A Xiu admitted that she broke into the empty door and left money for the mother and daughter.

"Sister, I have been..."

Leaving this house and walking on the road, Yuanzi glanced at the time and hurriedly pushed Xiaolan to Mihua Park.

"Sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go first."

After waving with Conan and the other three, Machiko made a circle and walked back to the Mori Detective Agency from the main road, re-disguised as Uncle Mori, and lit a few cigarettes to smoke the room.

.........

"I'm back!" x2
Holding the newspaper, Yuji looked at Xiaolan and noticed the bouquet of flowers in Conan's hand.

"Where did that bouquet come from? It's still red roses!"

And your emotions are also very strange, why are you so tired...

"Actually, someone confessed his love to Sister Xiaolan today."

Pretending to be interested, Yuji stood up and sat on the sofa on the second floor, looking at his "siblings" who were slumped on the sofa opposite.

"What kind of boy is he? He should be much better than that brat Kudo Shinichi."

Holding his chest in displeasure, Yuuji snorted and snatched the flower from Conan's hand.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? How could there be a boy who is better than brother Xinyi!" Conan held his chin, "The one who confessed to sister Xiaolan is a girl."

Speaking of which, why are all the girls who want to pry into my corner...

"Girl, it's okay then." Yuji took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, opened it in front of Xiaolan and took a sip.

Wait, isn’t Machiko the same age as me? How can she drink?
Xiaolan suddenly grabbed the beer and remembered that Conan was still there, so she held it in her arms.

"Dad can't drink today. I...I'm a little tired, so you have to cook."

Eh...you want me to cook!
"Hey hey hey." Bending down and pushing open the door on the second floor, Yuji went to the third floor, leaving space for Shinichi and Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, did Machiko Kurosawa say something important today?" Conan leaned on the sofa, staring straight at his girlfriend.

"Teacher Judy and the others should not be dead yet."

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from Shinichi, Xiaolan nodded: "Machiko said that if you ask, I can tell you."

"Then did she say that the organization recently..." After a pause, Conan shook his head: "It's nothing..."

What is the relationship between her and Mr. Amuro...
