Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Coming out of Gin's base, Yuji looked at Belmode beside him, waving the car keys and motioning for her to get in the car with him.

"So what's going on? I heard Toru Amuro said you were naked?"

Yuji turned the key in the ignition, and with the sound of the engine, he saw Chris smiling on her face, and asked helplessly: "Where to go?"

"Let's go to the Rice Krispies Department Store."

Belmod glanced at Yuji and didn't hide it. He explained: "Rum has been gradually returning all the focus of the organization to Japan."

"What do you mean?" The young man looked at Lu: "What did he do to other branches?"

"He previously cut off the funds of the branches. Several branches have been secretly contacting local authorities due to insufficient supply and want to sell everything the organization operates there."

"This... is normal. People originally went to the branch because the organization was willing to provide funds, but now the organization won't provide it..."

Yuji couldn't go on. He also knew that those in higher positions never consider issues from the perspective of those below them.

"So they...are all dead, right?"

Belmod snorted: "Yes, Rum's people took action personally. In two days, five branches and more than a thousand related people were killed."

Yuji frowned after hearing this. He drove the car into the parking lot, then let go of the steering wheel and looked at Chris.

"I really can't figure out why he did this."

"It's to avoid being burdened." Belmod took out his cell phone and looked through the store directions of Mihua Department Store.

"It's much more convenient to clean up all these departments first and then send your own people to re-establish them than to try hard to let people seize power."

Chris pulled Yuji to take the elevator: "But maybe I was wrong. Maybe he was just unhappy with those departments."

"I don't think that's likely."

They were already outside and it was no longer easy to say so many words. Yuji just muttered: "Anyway, as long as you are not bullied, I will be fine."

"Hey, they are all such big people."

[You can also say this. Mom’s love for you is not in vain. 】

Chris looked at Yuji and smiled, but pretended that he couldn't tell: "It's all about doing..."

She suddenly paused, which aroused the boy's curiosity.

"What to do?"

"To do...to do...Oh, the store I was looking for has arrived."

After being fooled by Chris, Yuuji pursed his lips and chirped like a duck. He raised his head and showed a complicated expression, and said to Chris: "Is this the place where you come to have a small meeting even if you stop drinking gin?"

"what happened?"

Chrissy looked at the models in the window, her eyes seemed to be coated with glue and almost stuck to the glass.

"Look how beautiful this is."

"No, it's okay if you don't buy me clothes. I can tolerate it if you don't buy them for myself. Here..."

Yuji looked up at the maternity and baby store logo, his face turned red and then green, it was even more beautiful than the neon sign.

"What's wrong, I just like little girls' clothes."

Chris rolled her eyes at Yuji and went straight in to pick out clothes.

……

"The dishes have been washed and the tea has been brewed. Now it's time for us to talk."

Yueyue sat at the dining table, holding a black tea cup, but her eyes fell on the corner of the table. When she saw Akiko taking the cake and placing it on the table, her tone became slightly better.

"Sister Akiko, you didn't tell us either. It turns out you have a sister who is older than you."

"That's right, she's so beautiful, why didn't you tell us."

Kaori also looked at Miyano Shiho, who was dressed in professional attire, and swallowed a little.

"this and that……"

Akiko glanced at Shiho who suddenly changed back, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't stay here, it was too painful.

"By the way, Yuzuki, do you feel so tired? We obviously went to bed very early last night?"

"Sure enough, so are you!" The two of them looked at Miyano Shiho, suspecting that it was related to her. "The black tea tastes good."

Miyano Shiho hugged his chest and did not look at Yuzuki and Kaori, but just remembered what happened yesterday.

It was after school, because the school festival of Didan Elementary School would be held soon, so many children stayed in the school and were busy until about nine o'clock before everyone dispersed to eat.

"Haihara-san, there is someone outside who says he is your relative and wants to see you."

Teacher Xiaolin happened to find Haibara Ai who was eating a lunch box under the tree in the atrium of the school. He pointed to the door and said, "She is a beautiful old woman."

"Grandma...beautiful?"

Hui Yuan Ai put down the lunch box in confusion, glanced at the three people next to him, hesitated for a while, nodded and followed Teacher Xiao Lin to the door.

"Long time no see, Xiao Ai."

A silver-haired old lady in a red kimono brightened up when she saw Haihara Ai. She smiled at the nervous girl and said to Teacher Xiaolin: "Teacher, can I talk to her alone?"

"I'm afraid..." Teacher Xiaolin saw that Haiyuan looked unfamiliar when he saw the old man for the first time. He was about to refuse when he heard the girl nodding in agreement.

"Teacher, don't worry, this is my...grandma."

"Eh?"

Teacher Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she knew the origin of the sisters (the fake version) and immediately understood where Haihara Ai's strangeness came from.

"So that's it, do you want to go back today?"

Teacher Xiao Lin squatted in front of Haibara Ai and arranged her clothes: "Conan also asked for leave today, can you give him his homework as well?"

"Hi."

After Teacher Xiao Lin walked into the school to get her schoolbag, Xiao Ai turned around and looked at the old lady.

"I didn't see it, but the kid you pretended to be is quite popular with adults."

Just like in the comics, a shadow suddenly appeared on the old lady's face, making her look more hideous.

"It's a pity that there are always cold adults like you who bring fear to me."

Xiao Ai stared at the old lady's face: "Belmod."

"Belmod?"

The sudden voice from behind startled Xiao Ai. She quickly turned her head and was extremely surprised to see the puzzled Teacher Xiao Lin.

[This woman actually watched her say her code name in front of others. 】

"What's that? A code?"

As the teacher in charge of the Junior Detective Team, Mr. Kobayashi naturally thinks about reasoning.

"No." Xiao Ai shook her head: "Actually, it's because my grandmother likes to drink wine called Belmod."

"So that's it." Teacher Xiaolin subconsciously observed the old man in front of him: "As you get older, you should drink less."

Holding back his anger, Belmod nodded in agreement, and then took Hui Yuan Ai's hand and walked to a small park not far away.

"Why did you come to me suddenly?"

"Rum." Belmod squeezed the girl's hand and walked quickly on his clogs: "He is trying his best to find you. It seems that the organization has no patience to wait for Gin to find you any longer."

"Rum...?"

The person who was much scarier than Gin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After entering the park, Chris turned around and faced Haihara Ai again: "So instead of you being caught and being implicated,
Yuji and the others, it’s better for me to kill you now. "

"...Okay." A trace of fear flashed in Haiyuan Ai's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by herself: "Anyway, I am very satisfied."

"Oh, what if I say that I am willing to help you continue to hide, even though I have no reason to do so."

Belmode watched Hui Yuan Ai raise her head in surprise, and gently raised her face with his fingers: "Although I hate you, if that child also has some of your blood flowing on him, I can't help it." save you."

"It's...my blood?" Hui Yuan'ai blinked doubtfully: "Who do you want me to exchange blood with?"

Belmode glanced at the van not far away, and seemed to see Yuzuki and Kaori sleeping inside through the door.
