Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 290: Okiya Subaru Ready to Move
"What the hell was Officer Matsuda doing in prison yesterday, Conan?"

Carrying schoolbags, the children who had just finished school blocked Conan in the corner after changing their shoes.

"That's right, it's so foul that only Conan knows the truth every time!" Ayumi pulled Xiao Ai and launched an attack on the Shinigami primary school student: "The boys who only know how to talk to themselves are the worst."

"Let's be less verbose."

After muttering for a while, Conan caught sight of a child peeping at the five of them from the corner of his eye, and then moved the people in front of him aside and greeted them.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko also noticed the child over there, and their eyes fell on a letter in his hand. After the two looked at each other, they appeared in front of the student in the blink of an eye.

"I remember...you are from the class next door, Zechuan, right?"

After hearing Conan's words, Mitsuhiko immediately held the visitor's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Zawachuan-san, do you have any entrustment for our young detective team?" Gentai patted his chest: "It's not an exaggeration. Under the guidance of our team leader, we have cracked many cases and caught many murderers. "

"Actually, in the house I rent, the neighbors downstairs have been very noisy at night recently."

Someone from Zechuan handed the entrustment letter to Yuantai: "So I want to ask you to come and check tomorrow, what are they doing."

"It's up to us..."

Before Yuan Tai agreed, the four of them dragged him back, and got together in front of Ze Chuan's people.

"You can't boast too much, Genta!"

Ayumi glanced nervously at the person coming from Zechuan: "If we can't solve the commission, we will be in trouble."

Although Ayumi didn't want to directly ask cats and dogs for commissions, judging from the previous case with her brother, it was difficult for them to complete difficult commissions.

"If you want me to see, why don't you ask Brother Yuer to accompany us?" Mitsuhiko pinched his chin and nodded: "After all, Conan can be unreliable sometimes. As long as we treat him to McDonald's tomorrow, Brother Yuer will probably come..."

You actually said I'm not as reliable as that guy!

Widening his eyes, Conan found that the other three agreed with Mitsuhiko, and lowered his head helplessly.

"See you tomorrow then."

The person from Zechuan pointed to the entrustment letter: "My home address is also on it."

After the boy with the schoolbag disappeared, Mitsuhiko pushed and asked Genta to open it.

"Chai Miao Village at 2-32, Mihua Town, is quite close to Dr. Ali's house."

Noticing that Conan was frowning, Xiao Ai and him were a few steps behind the children.

"Is there something wrong with this address?"

"No..." Conan put his hands in his pockets: "I always feel like I have been to this place before."

when are you coming?

the next morning.

"Brother Yuu!"

At the door of the doctor's house, the five children only looked at Kudo Yuji who pushed the door and walked in. Except for Xiao Ai and Conan, everyone else couldn't wait to go to the Chai Miaozhuang to have a look.

Walking on the road, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, who looked back from time to time, were a little frustrated.

"Why does Brother Yu only hold the hands of Conan and Ai every time?" Ayumi looked at Mitsuhiko, thinking that he, the smartest of the three, could give herself an answer.

"Probably because brother Yuer likes smart kids."

After all, Conan and Haibara are both super smart people. I heard from the teachers who have been teaching for a long time in the school that the former Yuji brother is also a very good student.

"It's so miserable..." x5
When they arrived at the destination, looking at Chai Miaozhuang, which was burnt in the wall with only ashes and garbage left, and the black crows that kept shouting on the ruins, the four little ones became nervous.

"Isn't this burnt out..."

Yuan Tai supported the black and gray wall, stretched his head to look inside: "I don't know what happened to Ze Chuan."

"This kind of apartment only has two floors, so it's probably fine."

I finally remembered why I felt so familiar, this place!Nazawagawa-san said that downstairs...

A sudden "plop" came from behind, and the five of them stared at Yuji, who was kneeling on the ground with a heartbroken face, and looked at each other.

“My apartment!!!”

.........

"So the landlord here turns out to be you, Kudo-kun."

After closing the document in his hand, the police department Yumichi sighed, and looked at Yuji Kudo with some sympathy.

"Are the people in the apartment okay?"

"No, there were no casualties this time, but the elementary school student is still awake in the hospital because he smoked a lot."

After calming down, Yuji took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the insurance company.Unlike Yu Er Zhai and its sloping-roof attic, when buying this old house, the boy decisively bought earthquake insurance and fire insurance for it.

"At least we can get compensation, at worst, rebuild the low-rise apartment."

Turning his head to look around, Yuji couldn't help frowning: "It's burned like this, there is no way to find out what the source of the fire is."

"At present, my subordinates are still searching to see if there are any clues."

The Gongchang police department turned sideways so that the children could see a group of people behind: "Anyway, you go with us to check those tenants, they don't seem to have an alibi last night."

Following behind the Yumicho police department, Yuji noticed the Okiya couple who were answering the police's question, the ashen-faced Sawakawa, and Maou Sadao's family who lived together.

"Sorry, Mr. Landlord."

Uncle Zechuan looked at the house that had turned into ashes, and lowered his head in frustration: "We all promised that nothing will happen to this apartment."

"It's good that everyone is fine. As for the house..." Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zechuan: "I have a one-family house near Wu-chome. If you don't mind, go there. Stay."

Subconsciously, he was about to take the key, but Uncle Zechuan hesitated for a while, then withdrew his outstretched hand.

"The rent for a one-family house is... very expensive."

"It's not much, one month... [-] yen, which is only a little higher than here." Yuji directly slapped the key into Uncle Zechuan's hand: "Go and live first."

The Zechuan family was originally very wealthy, and their family opened a factory.But the factory that had finally received a big order a year ago went bankrupt because the president of the other company was killed.At that time, it was my brother who solved the case.

"Gongzhang Police Department, how is the investigation going here?"

"Sorry, there's almost nothing left, and we're not close to anything."

Yuji found the police who were about to retreat, and after getting a disaster report, he directly asked the children to go to the hospital with Uncle Zechuan to see who was there.

"Now we should talk about where you live."

The boy's gaze passed through Okiya and his wife, and landed on Maou and the others behind.

"Anyway, it was Hongzi-senpai who introduced you to come here. No way, before the new apartment is rebuilt, you should go to her to make a living first."

Taking out his mobile phone and sending the current situation to Hongko Koizumi, Yuji looked away and glanced at Subaru Okiya and his "couple".

"As for Mr. Okiya, if you don't mind, I have another place for you to live here." The young man stretched his waist and said, "You can also change your job. I just have a good place for you."
