Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Hey, hey, I don't want to go." Yuji put the phone to his ear: "Why do you say that you are an abandoned puppy?"

"Whispering! I'm going to find Mr. Amuro first."

"Oh…"

Completely unaware of the happy expression on her face because Machiko agreed, Xiaolan hung up the phone, untied her apron, fished out a coat from the closet, opened the door and walked out.

【However, what gift should I buy for my father?Necklace...or bracelet? 】

"Ah, Conan!" Seeing her boyfriend sitting at the dining table, Xiao Lan took off a hat from the hanger at the door: "I'm going to Mr. Amuro's place, please wait for me at home."

"Hi~"

Watching his girlfriend leave the house, Conan walked down the stairs, found a phone booth by the side of the road, inserted the phone card in his pocket, and dialed the number skillfully.

Yu Erzhai, looking at the mirror in the bathroom, straightened his hair. Yu Er caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar number on the cell phone he had just hung up on, and it was a call from the phone booth on the side of the road. He put down the comb and picked it up.

"Who is it please?"

There was no sound from the other side of the phone. Yuji shook the phone again: "Is it broken?"

"…Kill you…"

"Huh?! Hey, who is it? Don't be kidding! Damn..."

"Dududu..."

After walking out of the phone booth, Conan looked at the bright sun in the sky, raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat with his sleeve, and showed a comfortable smile.

"Hey, what a tiring thing to do." He took out the brown biscuits in his pocket, threw a few into his mouth, stopped a car and announced the address of Amuro Detective Agency.

At the same time, Brother Kudo was not calm.There was a beeping sound in his ears, and he frowned when he looked at himself in the mirror. He suddenly became suspicious of the person he had been in contact with recently.

"It's strange. Who has such bad intentions towards me? No, just to be on the safe side, let's just move somewhere..."

"Moving?" Akiko came back from lunch with the family's dirty clothes and was about to use the washing machine. Hearing Yuji's words, he was puzzled: "Why?"

"No... I'm just worried that someone will break into the empty door, or..." Yuji pointed to the cabinet in the living room: "The key is there. Sister Akiko will take Hiroki to Dr. Ali's house tonight, and we will move in tomorrow."

"No need." Hiroki who came down from upstairs patted the dog fur on his legs, and threw a tablet in his arms to Yuji: "I have already found out the origin of that call just now."

Noticing that Yuji's face changed from confusion to surprise to sinisterness, Hiroki whistled and returned to his room through the stairs leading to the basement from the door.

.........

"What's the matter, you actually called me to such a high-end hotel? Besides, didn't you go to a karate camp today?" Putting the bag in her hand on the seat of the coffee shop, Fei Yingli noticed the iced coffee on the table , so a spoonful of sugar was added to it.

"Hey, I accidentally forgot that today is my mother's birthday, so don't be angry." Xiaolan stuck out her tongue apologetically, then hugged a huge blue cat doll beside her: "Here!"

"Birthday gift?" Fei Yingli found that the cat doll's mouth was closed by a zipper, and a white plush cigarette popped out after it was opened, and she immediately understood her daughter.

"That old man is not so cute."

"Okay, mom." Xiaolan took a sip of orange juice and raised her finger: "Actually, I found a receipt for a necklace in my father's wallet. I bought it yesterday. I don't know which beautiful lady can accept it." to it."

The unicorn girl took out the invoice for the gold necklace that she had bought with the pocket money she had accumulated, and waved it in front of her mother, making a helpless look: "And I also booked a luxurious dinner at the Mihua Central Hotel, I am so distressed , does that lady really have time to come?"

[Is this really my own daughter? Why hasn't she been seen for a while, and she has become like a "little devil"? 】

Recently, a term called "little devil" has become popular among high school girls in Tokyo. It probably means deliberately teasing boys, and it is the fun between lovers.

"Oh, looking at you, could it be that you just had a phone call with that detective boy?" As a mother, Fei Yingli was still more skillful, and Fei Yingli immediately counterattacked.

"Hey, why?" A childish boy's voice came from the side. The mother and daughter turned their heads and happened to see Conan lying on the glass.

"Conan-kun, why are you here?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, seeing Xinyi running in from the door, sitting down beside her, going to drink the orange juice on the table.

"No!" Fei Yingli grabbed Xiao Guitou's hand, then motioned to the waiter to bring another glass of orange juice. After there was no one around, she stared at Conan seriously: "Conan, Xiaolan already has a boyfriend, so you can't just do it. Just drink whatever she drinks. Her boyfriend is very jealous!"

[Where do I have it? ! 】

"New...Conan, didn't I ask you to stay at home?" Xiaolan grabbed Conan's waist from an angle that her mother couldn't see, and said with a slight force: "When did you start following me?"

"When I came out of Mr. Amuro's place."

[Then Shinichi saw the way he was struggling when choosing a necklace? 】

"By the way, Auntie, you just said that sister Xiaolan must have just talked with brother Xinyi on the phone, why?" Conan glanced at his girlfriend, but couldn't see it at all.

[Although I have never called Xiaolan. 】

"Because she looked like a girl in love, I guessed it right away." Fei Yingli covered her mouth and teased her daughter: "Hey, why do you two have such weird expressions? Am I wrong?"

"Cough cough!"

Xiaolan tapped the table with her knuckles: "Anyway, Mom must remember to go to the Mihua Central Hotel tonight, table No. 15 in the restaurant on the [-]th floor."

"I see. In fact, I originally planned to stay at the Mihua Central Hotel for one night." Fei Yingli talked about her original plan: "Because I have an appointment to meet someone there tomorrow, I just want to say that I should book a better room for the night." one night."

"Did Mom plan to spend her birthday alone?!" Xiaolan's eyes widened.

"That's right." Fei Yingli held her chin and looked at the sidewalk outside the glass: "Who makes these two people seem to have forgotten my birthday."

"Really, I said I'm sorry."

.........

"Mihua Central Hotel, the lobby on the fifteenth floor, this is it."

Wearing pink clothes, Yuji adjusted the cufflinks on his sleeves again, looked at the huge hall door, signed his name at the door, and waited for Yuzuki and Kaori to sign as well.

"Yuji, I just saw Miss Chris's name on the front."

Kaori and Yuzuki walked up to Yuji. The two girls were wearing more conservative dresses, but the most colorful one among the three was the boy Yuji.

"Of course, after all, Ms. Chris and Mr. Uozuka are also friends. I saw the two of them drinking tea and chatting at Toto Animation Production Studio." (End of this chapter)
