Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 33 I bought a house

The police demolished the entire wall, and the woman's body was also placed on the ground. After inspection, Hattori and Yuji roughly confirmed her true identity. She was the missing sister of Sakuragi-senpai, and there were obvious strangle marks on her neck.

But after examining the body, the coroner said she died suddenly!

Not long after, Officer Otaki received the call, and the two teenagers were sent back to Hattori House.

Still sitting at the same place as last night, Yuji threw small stones into the lake.In the main room, Hattori Heiji is arguing with his father.

"Didn't I say, leave the rest to the police? Children should do what children should do. Don't interfere in this case anymore!"

"What on earth are you talking about? The coroner actually said that the body with obvious strangulation marks died suddenly. Is this how your police handle the case?"

"There are some things you don't understand. It's for your own good that I won't let you get involved. Take that Kanto boy with you and go to Osaka for a nice walk. He's leaving tomorrow too, right?"

Hattori Heiji rushed out of the main room angrily, and walked along the road with Yuji, because they hadn't had lunch yet, the two found a ramen shop and went in.

“This noodles is really spicy!”

"Spicy? It's salty, right?" Yuji took a mouthful of noodles and ate them with fried dumplings: "Isn't that old school building the former Institute of Chemistry? What's its name?"

"It seems... Shiroji Research Institute is a branch in Tokyo. I heard that after it went bankrupt, Tokyo was acquired by a large consortium. People in Osaka didn't want it, so they sold it to Gaikata Academy at a low price."

Hattori Heiji ordered another pan-fried dumpling, and the two watched the National High School Karate Kanto Competition being played on TV, quickly finished the noodles and poured rice into it to eat.

"Shirojiu... Shirojiu? This name is so familiar. Where have you heard it before?" Yuji put down the spoon in his hand and turned to look at Hattori Heiji who was eating.

"I don't know. That happened nearly 20 years ago. How did you know?"

"That's right...Since my uncle said that, he must have known something dangerous, so he didn't let you get involved. Don't look into it just because you are in a hurry."

"Understood, you are as nagging as Kazuha!" Heiji didn't look up, and kept looking at the thick soup left in the ramen bowl.

That old man, it was the first time he had seen such an ugly expression.

Yuuji watched Ran, who had defeated his opponent on TV and entered the next match, and then called Shinichi again.

"Brother, have you cheered for Miss Xiaolan?
I will go back tomorrow.

You are not going to Dorobega Paradise tomorrow.

It's okay, I will ask Dr. Ali to pick me up. "

Before coming to Osaka, Shinichi told his brother that no matter whether Ran won the competition or not, he would take her to Dorobiga Paradise.

Originally he was still hesitating, but after passing by Osaka and his party, Yuji decided to let nature take its course.

Conan will be online tomorrow. The young man who has adjusted his mentality only feels strange now.Why do I only feel excited?
After finishing the meal, Hattori Heiji took Yuji to look around and bought a lot of things to take back to Tokyo.

The next afternoon, Yuji walked out of the station, got into Dr. Agasa's car and returned home.

"Yuji, aren't you going to go to school yet?" The doctor looked at the boy worriedly.

"It's okay, doctor. Many third-year students have already passed the entrance exam of Didan High School. Everyone doesn't go to school that much."

When he first entered the third year of middle school, Yuji and many other students in the same grade took the special admissions exam for Didan High School against Didan Middle School.

Usami Yuzuki and Minami Kaori also passed the exam. The school has no requirements for this group of students. As long as they clearly explain the reasons for their leave, they can stay at home this year.

Yuji put down his salute and left the house. He also has a lot of money in his hand these years, and he plans to buy a house of his own outside.

As expected, the following organizations will come to Kudo's house to check. Seeing that he is still living here, they may even leave surveillance and eavesdropping.He didn't want his every move to be clearly seen by others, so he simply moved out.

Yuji came to the house sales agency and expressed his willingness to buy a house and the funds in his hand, and the other party immediately sent a specialist to serve.

"What kind of house does Mr. Kudo want to buy? An apartment, a villa, or a single-family house?"

"Build in one house." The villa and mansion of the Kudo family was still too big for Yuji alone, so building it in one house was just right.

The house salesman took out a photo album and put it in front of Yuji: "This is a brand new one-family house. The furniture and appliances are all fully equipped, and they are basically all new models in the past two years, but the price is more expensive than second-hand ones. a little."

"That doesn't matter, I don't want to live in a house that someone else lived in." Yuji opened the photo album and looked at it page by page, and he took a fancy to the sixth set.

The sixth house is surrounded by walls made of black masonry, has a garage and a small yard, and the walls of the house are black.

There are two rooms on the first floor, a wet and dry bathroom, and a bathtub that can accommodate two people.The living room, dining room and kitchen are connected together, about 80 square meters.

There are three rooms on the second floor and a bathroom with the same configuration.The third floor is an attic.The total size of the house including the yard is 186 square meters, designed by a professional designer, and the price is 3 million yen.

so expensive!As soon as he bought this house, he had to take out one-tenth of his savings, and Yuji suddenly felt that his wallet was bleeding.If it weren't for the manga booklets, animations, and spin-offs that have earned him a lot of money in the past two years, today would be in vain.

Fortunately, Yoneka Town is not in the center of Tokyo, otherwise the price of this house would have tripled.

"Mr. Kudo is really discerning. Many people want to buy this house. Not only is it big, but the annual property tax is only 265 million yen. It's very cheap, right?"

Trembling, Yuji took out the card from his wallet and put it on the table, crossing his hands on his chin: "You have to give me everything you can, I want this house!"

Money can turn ghosts around, not to mention a big client like Yuji who paid out more than 3 million yen in one go. In less than an hour, this house belonged to Kudo Yuji.

As a gift for buying a house, the house selling company generously gave away five sets of bedding, but Yuer complained about being stingy.

Holding the "Kudo" sign in his hand, Yuji put the resident's name tag box at the gate of the wall, and then called Toru Amuro.

"This is...Kudo-sensei's house?"

Standing at the door of Kudo House No. [-], Matsuda silently took off his sunglasses and pointed to the name tag.

"Is it still too late for me to draw comics?"

Yuji led Matsuda and Amuro into the yard, opened the door, and then pointed to the room on the first floor near the door: "This is the room for Mr. Amuro!
Officer Matsuda, no, don’t look at me like that. "

Yuji asked Amuro Toru to prepare food for the housewarming party, and then invited Minami Kaori and Usami Yuzuki. They were also surprised that Yuji's classmate suddenly bought a house.

"In other words, Yuji-san will be living here starting tomorrow, right? Then can I come here to draw manga?"

"It's okay, there are many empty rooms, it's okay to take a nap here."

After a brief celebration, Matsuda Jinpei's cell phone rang just as he was about to start the car.

He connected the phone, and Police Officer Megure's voice came out of the phone: "Brother Matsuda, a dead person happened here on the roller coaster in Dorobiga Paradise, come here quickly."

Yuji took a sip of coffee, then watched the back of Matsuda Jinpei who ran out the door.

The gears of fate are about to turn.
