Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 276 The Prelude to the Magician of Silver Wing
"I am back."

Throwing the backpack on the ground casually, Yuji stepped on his slippers and walked into the living room.After sitting in the car for a whole day, the boy at this moment was very tired. He walked up the stairs and lay down suddenly in his room, listening to the cicadas singing outside the window.

After taking a breath, the boy looked at the hot light coming in through the window, then touched the remote control on the bedside table, and turned on the air conditioner.

"It's so cool..."

Yuji shielded his eyes with his arm, and the racks of comic books in the room stood quietly.He sat up, walked to the window, and looked out.

"It's already...summer!"

Eh? !Is there something wrong?

"Detective Mori, you are too much!"

Sitting in the detective office and tapping the table constantly, Hondo Yingyu complained to the embarrassed three people in front of him.

"Why did you leave me alone in the hotel in Gunma County? I couldn't get a car, so I walked back alone!"

Uncle Mao Li, who was about to speak up to defend himself, choked and asked suspiciously, "You came back from Qunma County?"

Frustrated and slumped on the sofa, Eiyu Hondo covered his face with his hands: "I took the tram from Gunma Prefecture, but the tram broke down. I originally planned to switch to a bus, but not long after, the bus stopped moving again."

There was no car willing to take him, so he had to walk back, which took three full days.

"I'm sorry, but it's a good thing I left you behind. I feel that if you go with us, something will happen."

Thinking of the old policeman whose appearance he could not remember, Xiaolan shuddered and shook her head.

"But I just came over and found that the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency has been rented out. Is it called Polo Cafe?"

As expected, it is a coffee shop opened under a detective agency...

Our hall Yingyou put down his hand and looked at Uncle Maori curiously: "I came over last night to see that the decoration here has been completed. It's so fast."

"Well, when I was in Gunma County, a woman called me and said she was willing to rent at one and a half times the market price, so I asked Eri to sign the contract for her."

Mouri Kogoro lit a cigarette and found that Eiyou was a little confused, so he added: "She is Xiaolan's mother."

"Oh, that's it." Bentang Yingyou jumped up immediately: "Then let's go down there to eat at noon, just in time to experience it."

"Yes, Dad." Xiaolan clapped her hands: "We just happened to go and see who rented the store."

Nodding, Kogoro Mouri put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and walked down the stairs with the three children.

Looking at the beautifully decorated coffee shop, Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and complained while pushing the door open.

"Really, the money spent on renovating this store can be used to rent a store in Ginza. So these rich people are really incomprehensible..."

"welcome…"

The four of them looked at the waiter standing at the door and shouted in surprise.

"Mr. Amuro!!!"

Wearing a waiter uniform with a black pair tied outside, Toru Amuro first bent down and then led the four of them to their seats.

"Hey, why do you work part-time here, kid?" Mori Kogoro covered his mouth with his hand.

To be honest, in Mori Kogoro's opinion, with Toru Amuro's good looks and speaking skills, being a cowherd must make a lot of money.

No, the person renting the house is a woman...

Staring at Toru Amuro with suspicion, Uncle Maori snorted and reminded him in a tone of voice that he had experienced: "Boy Amuro, eating soft food is a bad habit."

He held Toru Amuro's shoulders to the corner, glanced at Xiaolan and the three who were sitting there blowing on the air conditioner, and asked quietly.

"Is the woman who called you to open the shop yesterday pretty?"

"Mr. Molly..."

From the moment her father and Toru Amuro were whispering, Xiaolan fell into deep thought.

Mr. Amuro is Machiko's subordinate, right? He pretended to be a couple before because he wanted to secretly track down the mysterious organization that turned Shinichi into Conan.

Could it be that the person who rented this store was Machiko?But why does Machiko rent downstairs in her own house?
"Could it be that Dad was suspected because of the previous incident?"

"What did you say? Sister Xiaolan." Sipping on the orange juice in the glass, Conan looked up at Su Suinian's girlfriend.

"Ah, it's nothing." The one-horned girl also drank the juice.

"By the way, I heard Sonoko say before that Mr. Amuro and...Mizuna Reina were boyfriend and girlfriend before. Is it true?"

Hondo Eiyou has been observing this blond man and asked the two about Toru Amuro's love history. His hand under the table clenched into a fist: "Sonoko said that this man first fell in love with Reina Mizuna, and later he fell in love with Reina Mizuna." The Ice Queen in our class became boyfriend and girlfriend."

"This is fake. Machiko and Amuro-san are not boyfriend and girlfriend, it's just Machiko playing a prank." Xiaolan smiled and denied the false information that Eisuke Hondo heard from his best friend.

"But Miss Rena Minami only has a unrequited love for Mr. Amuro. Didn't she admit it herself?" Conan held his chin, remembering his brother's explosive statement on the bus.

"Yuji also said that Mr. Amuro likes a 37-year-old wife."

At that time, my brother's tone didn't sound like a joke...

Shocked, Hondo Eisuke turned his head to look at Toru Amuro, who was whispering to Mori Kogoro, and looked him up and down.

"He turns out to be a pervert!"

.........

"What? You sent a notice again!"

After sleeping all day, Yuuji, who was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone, touched the mobile phone to connect it and put it to his ear, and heard the latest information from Kaito.

"I said, why don't you take a break too, Officer Nakamori will be tired too."

Sitting on the sofa in Nakamori's house, Kaito Kuroba scratched his face, and handed the phone to Officer Nakamori opposite.

"I didn't expect that you still feel sorry for me, Kudo boy!"

Immediately sitting up from the bed, Yuji held the phone and shouted at the other end of the phone: "You are really boring, Kaito. Every time you use your old father-in-law's voice to pick up girls, now you are here to prank me."

After finishing speaking, the boy hung up the phone and turned off the phone immediately.

What a risk, almost being regarded as Kidd's accomplice...

Looking up at Kaito who was shaking his head desperately, Nakamori Ginzo coughed twice: "First, I'm not the old father-in-law. Second, Kaito, should you tell me clearly..."

"No...Uncle, I really..."

"Is the girl you dated attractive? What's the contact information?"

Dazed for a moment, the magic boy let out a sigh, showing an expression that any man could understand.

"father!"

Qingzi narrowed his eyes and stared displeased at the boy next to him and the father opposite him.

"We were talking about the Kidd mission this time, right?"

"Ah, that's right!" Officer Nakamori immediately regained his serious expression. He looked at Kaito and said, "In short, Kidd can act this time, but the last treasure must be returned to me."

"No problem, why don't you say I've always done this." Kaito made an OK gesture.

"Okay." Nakamori Ginzo stood up and turned towards Kaito: "Come to the study, let's talk about some important topics."

important topic...

Kaito, who understood, made an OK gesture again.
