Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 45 Are You Playing With Me?
"How about it? The scenery in Tokyo is not bad, it's very lively here." Yuji sat in the passenger seat of Matsuda Jinpei and introduced Shibuya to Hattori Heiji in the back seat.

"I said, Kudo, you are not taking revenge on me." Heiji saw the curious eyes of passers-by outside through the car window, and he lowered his hat a little.

"What are you talking about? I gave up my police assistance money many times in exchange for the one-day use of this police car and Officer Matsuda! Are you right, Officer Matsuda?"

Matsuda Jinpei, who was driving, gritted his teeth at this moment, and while his girlfriend was away, he whispered bad things about Police Officer Megure: "That fat man sold me out for 30 yen!"

"Speaking of which, Heiji-senpai, how's Asuka-senpai doing lately?"

"Hey! You guy, don't deliberately mispronounce Kazuha's name just because her voice resembles Miyamura Yuko's!"

Yuji sent a text message to Kaori, telling her that he would accompany Hattori Heiji, and that he would go to discuss with her about the animation of "Phantom Thief Girl" at night, so he might not be able to go now.

He made another call to Ms. Umeko and asked her to go with Kaori-san. After receiving an affirmative reply, Yuji looked at Hattori in the rearview mirror.

"I've been to several places, where else do you want to go?"

"Don't you have a new famous detective in Tokyo recently? He seems to be the father of your brother's girlfriend. Take me to meet him."

Yuji nodded, and gave instructions to the tool man Matsuda, and the police car drove towards the Mori Detective Agency.

After a brief conversation with Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji was completely disappointed in this uncle. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think this man was worthy of the title of detective, but because he was Xiaolan's father, he still didn't say anything .

"Moori-san, do you really not know where Kudo Shinichi is? I came here specifically to compete with him in a reasoning contest."

Hattori Heiji sighed regretfully.At this moment, Conan just returned to the detective agency after school. He opened the door and found Hattori Heiji looking over.

"Hey, Kudo, you are so naughty, you actually let this child dress up as Edogawa III." Hattori Heiji decisively launched his contempt for Yuji.

"No, probably his parents are my fans."

This is not a lie, my mother called yesterday to remind me to change, and she also complained that there were too many pigeon spirits at home.

With Conan as a victim, the atmosphere of the Mori Detective Agency is revived.

Yuji noticed his older brother who kept wiping his nose with paper, so he took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser for him.

Hattori also took out the prepared souvenir from his backpack. This is Uncle Mori's favorite that he inquired about from Yuji, and it also has the effect of curing colds.

"What is this?" Conan finished a drink. He temporarily lost his sense of taste due to a cold, but he felt that his body was indeed warm.

Yuji hugged his dizzy brother in his arms, and then pulled the cloth outside Hattori's bottle.

"Baigan, it's wine, no wonder you are like this."

This seems to be the opportunity for Conan to change back to Shinichi for the first time, right? Yuji squeezed his chin and looked at the wine bottle, thinking about the relationship between Chinese wine and the organization.

Forget it, I can't think of it anyway.

At the door of the office, a tightly wrapped woman was knocking on the door.

"How long will your detective agency want me to knock on the door outside?"

The noble lady took off the mink fur outside, and told Mori Kogoro about her commission.

"Do you want a detective to investigate the conduct of your son's girlfriend?"

Uncle Mori looked at the profile of the woman named Sachiko Katsuragi on the table. To be honest, her resume was so perfect that the uncle couldn't figure out what Ms. Tsujimura was dissatisfied with.

"Anyway, just wait until you arrive at my house to discuss the details with my husband." Tsujimura Kimie began to get dressed. She put on her gloves and looked at Mouri Kogoro condescendingly: "My husband is a diplomat. If he is People know that if he comes to the detective in person, there will be a scandal."

When heading to the client's home, Yuji took Hattori and sat in the car of Matsuda police officer. The boy looked at the pensive Heiji in puzzlement.

"What's wrong? Heiji-senpai."

"Kudou, do you think that lady is weird?"

Ashamed to say, Yuji only remembered Baiganjiu and forgot everything else, but he still thought about the conversation between Koe Tsujimura and Uncle Mori just now.

"That Ms. Tsujimura clearly thought that her husband would cause a scandal when he went to the Mori Detective Agency, why didn't he call her home directly at the office, but instead brought her uncle home? Isn't this completely meaningless? "

Uncle Mao Li is considered a respectable person nowadays, and he is easily recognized on the road, but the risk of being discovered by others is even greater when he is taken home.

At the gate of Tsujimura's house, Yuji and Hattori got out of Matsuda Jinpei's car. After saying goodbye to the driver, they followed Uncle Mori and the others.

At the entrance, Fumio Koike, the housekeeper, was receiving a group of people. He turned slightly sideways and guided everyone to the study.

When passing by the stairs, the subject of Uncle Mori's investigation happened to meet Ms. Tsujimura, and Ms. Sachiko greeted Mr. Tsujimura generously.

"Mom, you're back."

When Ms. Tsujimura saw her son Tsujimura Takazan's hand on the woman's shoulder, she suddenly got angry: "Why are you here!"

Tsujimura Takashi was very dissatisfied with this stepmother's attitude. He had a mocking tone, but tried to be polite in his words: "I asked her to come. I saw that my father has been unwilling to meet Sachiko, so I forced her to come." I asked dad to agree. It seems that dad has never left the study."

For the sake of her beloved boy, Sachiko still tried to make friends with Ms. Tsujimura in front of her: "Mom, are these your guests?"

Kogoro Mori thought that with such a good-tempered daughter-in-law, Ms. Tsujimura would not make things difficult for her, but she did not expect her attitude to be even worse.

"It has nothing to do with you, and I don't think you have any status to call me mother now."

Asking the butler to leave, Ms. Tsujimura led Uncle Mori to the study room, Yuji and Hattori's eyes wandered between the young unmarried couple for a moment and then turned away.

"Father, why haven't you gone out yet?"

At the stairs on the second floor, Ms. Tsujimura met a gray-haired man who seemed to be the father of the owner of the house. He took out a painting of a coiled fish from behind and showed it off to his daughter-in-law.

Sensing that the guests behind were getting a little impatient, Koe Tsujimura asked his father-in-law to go to the Japanese room first, and then brought Uncle Mori to the door of the study.

She knocked on the door with her gloved hand and asked loudly, "Husband, Mr. Maury is here."

When there was no response, Ms. Tsujimura took out the key to the study from her bag and opened the door.The moment the door was opened, there was a bel canto opera played in the study, causing several people to cover their ears.

Tsujimura Koe walked to the desk. She gently shook her husband's body, but he suddenly fell to the ground.

Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji immediately rushed to the diplomat, put their hands on the man's neck, and gave conclusions helplessly.

"It's useless, he's dead."

After exchanging glances with Hattori Heiji, Yuji immediately called Officer Matsuda.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Someone is dead here, bring someone here quickly."

Officer Sato saw that his boyfriend froze just as he was about to sit down on the chair. He hung up the phone and stood up again.

"I just went back to the Metropolitan Police Department!"
