Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"What do you mean you are also Yuji's childhood sweetheart?!"

After hearing the words of the woman in front of them, Yuzuki and Kaori, who originally thought she was uncompetitive, changed their expressions of winning at the same time, nervously waiting for Sera Masumi's answer.

If this woman is indeed what she said, and she has known Yuji since childhood, the girls are not confident that the boy will not be moved at all.

Just like what Yuzuki said, while being constantly exposed to cases since childhood, Yuji's outlook on life from his previous life has been repeatedly shattered and reorganized.Except for the people in the plot and the people he has known since childhood, young people rarely let their guard down and trust others, and are very suspicious.

"When I was seven years old, I met him while traveling." Masumi Sera covered her red face slightly with the back of her hand as she talked about the original incident.

"That's it. When no one knew who the prisoner was, he and I worked together to find out the prisoner's true identity."

Considering that the eldest brother is an FBI agent and cannot reveal his identity at will, Masumi Sera slightly modified the plot "a little bit" and changed all the roles of Shuichi Akai in the beach incident to herself.

"So handsome and powerful!"

At a glance, it was obvious that Sera Masaki looked at Yuji with the same eyes as the two of them. The two best friends looked ugly and defended: "You...you only met Yuji once, we can't be considered childhood sweethearts!"

They must not admit that she is Yuji's childhood sweetheart, otherwise they may not have enough excuses to force this girl to stay away from Yuji.

"Then what do you mean by childhood sweethearts?"

Sera Zhenzun took retreat in order to advance, staring at the girls with burning eyes.

"At least, even if we are separated, we will always remember each other!"

Kaori answered Sera Masumi's words. She didn't think Yuji would remember a flat-chested girl he had only met once, and in his eyes, this girl might not be as attractive as Miss Chrissy.

"Eh…"

Yuzuki and Kaori, who thought Sera was simply disappointed and lowered her head, did not see the raised corners of her mouth.

"Ah! I'm so hungry!"

After everyone checked the arena, they all came to the vendor's rest area. They saw Yuji placing sandwiches, French fries, popcorn and drinks on the rest table outside. After thanking each other, they sat down to eat lunch. .

"It's not long before the game starts. How are you checking?"

The young man walked up to Conan with a cup of Americano coffee and pushed his head to signal his brother to answer his question.

"Four bombs were found, all of ordinary quantities. I suspect that Hades Shabala had prepared more than that."

Conan swallowed all the sandwiches and winked at Yuji. After coquettishly clamoring for milk tea, he took his brother's hand and walked to the stall. He whispered: "The four defused bombs were just placed at the west gate. A man in a suit took it."

"You must have installed a bug, right? What did they say?"

Yuji took out a can of milk tea powder from the cabinet and scooped two spoonfuls into the paper cup, then poured boiling water to rinse it and covered it with a plastic cup lid to prevent it from being exposed.

"I heard that they were from MI[-] and said that these bombs were different from the bombs left at the headquarters. I suspected that the second batch of people who broke into the headquarters were not Hades Shabala or his associates."

Belmode brought so many bombs just to throw all the blame and attention for the explosion on Hades Shabala. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that there would be useless bombs or bombs left intentionally.

"That is to say, Belmode specially gave them a clue to save them, but why?" Conan took the milk tea cup in confusion and took a sip through the straw. After finding it too sweet, his eyes fell on Yuji's American cup.

"Probably to get rid of the British person in charge of the prison."

Yuji rubbed Conan's head: "Mr. Amuro said that Ms. Chris has done this before. If they see the bombs commonly used by the organization, the undercover agents in the agency will find ways to execute the arrested members.

"Giving such a task shows that Miss Chris is indeed ready to return to Japan."

The young man clasped his chin and continued to interrogate: "Besides, did you hear anything else?"

"There is, but I don't understand at all, what old gentleman, what kind of disciple sacrificed his life and sneaked into the headquarters." Conan raised his head and looked at Yuji: "If my guess is correct, the one who raided the MI[-] headquarters before us is This old gentleman."

Conan believed that the fresh iron filings they found on the railway tracks were the traces left by this old man riding a rail car to the headquarters. He was very familiar with MI[-]. He was either from other organizations or had worked in MI[-]. .

"Last night, while the MI[-] network was down and unable to activate the independent system, I asked Hiroki to decipher the location and address of that computer. Judging from the information records, your name was added probably when we arrived underground. .”

"Isn't it more than an hour?" Yuji put down the paper cup in his hand, and his eyes fell on the table at hand. From his memories, he couldn't find any suspicious person he knew, who might be this old gentleman.

Could it be true that this person simply knew that Kudo Yuji had made a lot of money for the unknown black organization in Japan, so he used this method to...

"No! He added my name to it. If we didn't grab the list, his adding the name would be meaningless."

How did this old man know that the black organization would send people to snatch that list?Thinking of the conversation with his father that night, the young man's eyes lit up and he relaxed completely.

[I originally guessed that it was my father and the others who broke into MI[-] for the first time, and I was right! 】

"Okay, that's the end of this topic. I know what's going on."

Yuji tilted his head despite Conan's suspicious gaze: "It's Xiaolan and the others. Originally, their father asked them to leave England as soon as possible, but unexpectedly they all insisted on staying."

"It's a detective's conceit to always think that things will go as you imagine." Conan put his hands in his pockets: "It seems like you know a lot of things that I don't know."

"After all, stories between adults are sometimes not suitable for children to listen to, right?"

Yuji poured himself another cup of coffee, held his chin and sat on the chair behind the stall.

"The rest will be left to you, as well as the police and agents."

Yuji took the fries from the plate in front of him and stuffed them into his mouth: "Since Xiaolan and the others did not return to Japan as dad arranged, at least I have to stop them here and not get involved in bombs and Hades. The final end of Shabala.”

There must be more bombs in this arena than those discovered by Conan and the others. Who knows if this bomber will get so crazy in the end that he will carry the remote control with him and let everyone in the arena bury him with him.

"When the game starts, you can take them out of here."

Conan touched the stun gun in his arms and the small-range isolator Hiroki made temporarily yesterday, his eyes firm.

"Leave Hades Shabala to me."
