Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"what……"

Sitting on the toilet in the bathroom and lighting a cigarette, Subaru Okiya looked at Conan who opened the door and walked in, puffing away calmly.

"Mr. Okiya, are you okay?"

Subaru Okiya smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think? I didn't expect my mother to remarry. I didn't know until now."

With Akai Shuichi's reasoning ability, almost the moment he was pushed out of the restaurant by Conan, he guessed that the man at the head table was not what he wanted. He was the father of Hideyoshi's girlfriend, but his mother's new husband, his own. stepfather.

"You are already 30, is it so difficult to accept it?" Conan leaned against the wall, looked around the bathroom, and complained silently in his mind.

As expected of a congressman, the guest toilets in this mansion are so well decorated.

"Actually, there's only a little bit of this. What I can't accept is my mother's pretentious look." Subaru Okiya threw the cigarette butt into the toilet and lit another one.

"That fierce woman actually looks like such a little woman. I have never seen her since I was a child!"

After being in trouble for a long time, it turns out that the three views have been frustrated? !

"Okay, kid, what are you doing here?" Subaru didn't have time to think about his mother, so he opened his eyes and looked Conan up and down.

"This place is more dangerous than you think. Go home after eating."

"Sure enough, that woman is a senior member of the organization, right?"

Glancing at Okiya Subaru out of the corner of his eye, Conan held his chin, trying to read something from the man's face.

"How did you...ah, that little lady told you after she felt it."

Okiya Subaru nodded, but denied Conan's statement: "I thought the same thing last night, but I realized something was wrong later. There is a special code name in the organization, and it is rumored that the eyes of members with this code name..."

"It's strange eyes."

Hearing Conan say the following in advance, Okiya Subaru frowned: "This code name..."

"Call Rum."

Choking on the cigarette and coughing non-stop, Okiya Subaru spit out the butt of the cigarette and glared at Conan. After the elementary school student said that he would never interrupt again, he continued to speak.

"Rum has been a codename for many years, at least thirty years, but that woman doesn't look like she is thirty years old, so she probably isn't Rum."

And now that she appeared here, he who originally thought that Mr. Yoshioka was Haneda Hideyoshi's father-in-law also naturally doubted the relationship between Amami Yuki and the man, and believed that Yoshioka was the real Rum.

"It's not impossible. Mr. Hideyoshi thinks that woman is the daughter of Mr. Yoshioka and his ex-wife. According to what you said, the probability that Yoshioka is Rum is much higher."

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but shudder. The top management of the organization is now the top management of the police system. Doesn't that mean that he can also check the personnel information of undercover agents like Toru Amuro within the organization at any time!

"No, we must find a way to get his cell phone so that the police can arrest him based on the information inside."

"Don't worry yet, use him as bait, maybe you can fish out the organization's boss."

Conan slapped his hand on the sink and looked at Subaru Okiya seriously: "Mr. Okiya, he just took office as deputy director of the National Police Agency today. If no measures are taken, a bunch of undercover policemen will die tomorrow. You must help me. .”

"There is such a thing! But it's unreasonable. He is a high-level member of a terrorist organization. How did he get the connections to become the deputy chief of the National Police Agency?"

[So he doesn’t know about the relationship between the organization and the Karasuma Consortium? 】

Conan thought Toru Amuro and Yuji had exchanged information with the FBI, but it turned out that Shuichi Akai still didn't know much information.

"This...I don't know either..."

Considering that the two of them might have other arrangements, Conan didn't say it out loud, but just urged Subaru to feel it out.

"alright."

After pressing the button twice on the toilet behind him, Conan watched Subaru Okiya's expression suddenly distort, then suddenly relaxed: "It's so comfortable. The toilet flushes..."

"Hello~"

In the kitchen... "Hand me the eel."

Putting the small stainless steel basin on the countertop, Mr. Yoshioka took the eel, washed it under the tap, and found the sauce for grilling the eel from the box that Subaru Okiya brought.

"You still need to use a charcoal stove to grill eel, not an electric oven."

Seeing that Haneda Hideyoshi was about to start the oven to preheat, Mr. Yoshioka quickly stopped him, turned around and took out an oven from the box, and set up a wire mesh to bake.

"This is the last dish, let's go out."

Smelling the fragrance on his body, Mr. Yoshioka took off his sleeves, walked out of the kitchen with Haneda Hideyoshi, and sat back to the dining room.

"Three girls, does it taste good to you?"

Although he asked three people together, Mr. Yoshioka obviously looked at Akai Mari, letting Miyamoto Yumi and Amami Yuki know that it was best not to speak at this time to avoid embarrassment.

[But this Kudo Yuji...Nian Shanggong didn't run away. 】

“It’s okay, I enjoyed my meal.”

Akai Marie took out a handkerchief and wiped it on Mr. Yoshioka's head. When she saw Okiya Subaru and Conan walking into the restaurant, the corner of her mouth still couldn't help but twitch.

This is the first time I have seen a foreigner who can use the toilet at a guest's house for such a long time. Ordinary people would probably not pay at all.

"You...have you all finished eating?"

Holding the table, Conan looked at the leftovers on the table. After covering his still hungry stomach, he looked at Miyamoto Yumi with an aggrieved expression.

[Oops, I forgot how much he hasn’t eaten yet. 】

With a slightly bloated stomach, Miyamoto Yumi avoided Conan's eyes and chose to turn a blind eye.

"It's okay, I left it for you in the kitchen."

Mr. Yoshioka touched his mouth and immediately encouraged the whole family to start carrying the dishes to the kitchen cabinet. After cleaning up the stains on the dining table, he sent the silent Okiya Subaru to the door of the mansion.

"You don't have to pay for the meal. My service today was very poor. I will pay for it myself."

Seeing Subaru Okiya open the door, Yuji, who had already guessed whether he had any trouble with Conan in the bathroom, immediately called him to stop, intending to increase the stability of his stepfather's identity.

"Wait a moment."

Mr. Yoshioka looked at the squinting Okiya Subaru and pursed his lips: "My wife is a very kind and gentle person. She also told me just now that I must pay you for the meal."

Yuji took out his wallet, drew ten Fukuzawa Yukichi cards, stuffed them into Okiya Subaru's hand, and looked at his shocked expression.

"Sir, the total cost of this meal is only 50,000 yen!"

"Excuse me for your trouble... you'd better ride a bike. Just treat the 50,000 yen as a tip."

Yuji stared at Okiya Subaru with a complex expression: "I heard that kid say that due to special reasons, the landlord who was originally willing to rent a house to you at a low price no longer rents it. And the uninsured car you rented because it was cheap was driving on the highway yesterday. I got into a car accident, so now I have a debt of three million yen, right?"

"Yes……"

He had finally rented another house, but Heipi was not willing to go to the public account to reimburse him for the car that was smashed by that woman last night.

I wanted to contact the FBI, but every time I was pushed to the ground by the police who suddenly rushed out, I was kicked wildly. After losing all the money I had saved for a while, I became heavily in debt. I am currently living in a roasted bird shop with Judy.

"Then take it."

With his back against the chandelier on the roof, Mr. Yoshioka was shining in Subaru's eyes. (End of chapter)
