Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Come back? Are you kidding?"

Kuromaru Yenna was sitting on the sofa in the apartment, choosing a dress for tomorrow's wedding while looking at the shota who was cleaning the house. The phone in front of her showed that it was on a call, but the number was unknown.

"Tokyo is a whirlpool right now. I have finally lived a stable life in Kyoto for more than ten years. Why would I come back?"

While the teacher said this, he did not forget to glance at Chris who was drinking tea on the opposite side of the sofa: "Besides, you are not afraid that the crazy woman will arrange for someone to kill you as soon as you leave the station."

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously silent. He simply left a message saying he would think about it, and then hung up.

"As expected, stupidity is the norm for researchers." Vermouth showed a disdainful smile and looked at Heimaru with a dangerous expression: "If it were you, I should have just made it real eighteen years ago and let them die in that fire."

"I can't help it. You should ask my mom why she would make so many arrangements for a friend she has only known for less than a year."

"Yes, it would be nice if tombstones could talk." Chris crossed her arms and said, "If these two people don't die, their whole family will be wiped out after the drug is fully developed, so they pretended to be dead for more than ten years and let the organization pin their hopes on their daughter. If Shirley wasn't a genius and Yuji hadn't inexplicably saved Miyano Akemi, this couple would be nothing more than a joke."

"Strange?" Teacher Heimaru put down the dress in her hand, sat next to Chris with interest, and looked at her with an expression that said something was wrong with her: "You are so calm?"

"Can I still kill them now?"

"Unless you don't want your son or granddaughter anymore."

"So...right, it doesn't matter whether you're calm or not, right?"

Vermouth pushed Mr. Kuromaru's face aside: "I have more important problems than this."

"Are you asking why Rum suddenly opened a store in the Beihua Shopping Street?" Mr. Kuromaru sat up straight. "I don't know anything else, but I heard from the people assigned to Tottori that there has been new progress in the research of medicine."

"If those two bastards were willing to tell us, we wouldn't have to guess based on the information here." Vermouth still felt that she and the Miyano family were at odds: "Humph, why not even Miyano Akemi... If they knew that their two daughters were married to my boy at the same time, their expressions would be very interesting."

"Is sending the other person's daughter to your son's bed the only way you can take revenge on him?"

In the complex expression of Kuromaru Yena, Vermouth whispered: "I think that Irene Adler (Elena in German) is still charming."

"Are you really not disgusting that boy?"

[It’s really scary, woman…]

Jin Yuanguang, who was washing the mop, shuddered.

……

"This is it. The place Curly mentioned. It seems that Officer Qiansu told him that."

Yuji stepped on the brakes, looked at the slightly upscale hotel, and parked the car in the parking space under the guidance of the waiter at the hotel entrance. He got out of the car amid the whispers of some beautifully dressed women not far away, and casually shook his baseball uniform.

"Two guests, eh?"

The waiter was holding two masks. After seeing that Kudo Yuji and Matsumoto Kobaike were both wearing rings on their hands, his expression twisted for a moment, but he still handed over the masks.

"What? A masquerade?" Yuji felt that it would be very weird if he wore a mask, so he put the mask on his head, making it look like the goggles of a certain cute protagonist.

Matsumoto Xiaobaihe here was more attentive. After noticing that the waiter was looking at her ring for some reason, she put her hand on her belly with a loving look on her face.

"It seems that you two are here to look for someone."

The slightly older manager saw at a glance what the two men were here for, and took the opportunity to briefly introduce the hotel's activities to Yuuji and Matsumoto Koshiro.

"Blind date?"

"Hi, our hotel is holding a masked blind date event. The funds for the event are provided by the elders of the male guests, and the female guests who are willing to participate can enter directly." The manager smiled and said, "But if you two are here to look for someone, you probably can't enter."

"Why? Even if I'm not one of the male guests on the list, didn't you say that female guests can come in freely? In this case, my sister should also meet the requirements."

Yuji looked like he was going to complain if you didn't give him an explanation, which made the manager hesitate for a moment, but he still shook his head.

"If you two complain about me, I might have my salary deducted, but if I let you in and you cause a commotion in the venue, I will be fired directly."

"You misunderstood, we are not here to catch an adulterer." Yuji rolled his eyes at the manager and said, "We are just here to pick up a sister to attend a wedding. We didn't know this was a matchmaking convention at first."

As soon as his feet stepped on the steps in front of the hotel, Yuuji felt his body sliding to the right. It was not until he sat on the ground that he realized he had fallen.

"I'm so... so sorry! These stairs are always slippery. I didn't remind you just now."

"You guys... forget it, Sayuri-sensei, just pay attention."

"Hi."

The manager was relieved to hear that the young man did not get angry, and finally let the two people in. The young man walking in the hotel corridor fell into thought.

[Why is Officer Hagiwara on a blind date here? 】

Yuji asked Matsumoto Xiaobai and the married woman to wait outside, while he put on a mask and prepared to enter the venue to look for Hagiwara Chisuga.

"The teacher is so beautiful, even if she wears a mask, she will probably be approached by many people." Yuji shook his finger: "No, you must continue to be so happy with Mr. Kojiro. I am a pure love fan. In this kind of blind date, just seeing a man approaching you is uncomfortable enough."

"You're not a man too."

Teacher Xiao Baihe looked at the wall and shook the pepper spray in his pocket.

"I'm different. For a middle-aged woman like a teacher, I just don't..."

The boy saw the teacher slightly pulling out the new anti-wolf spray and swallowed his saliva while closing his mouth.

"I'm going to see Officer Hagiwara."

"Remember to hurry up, I also want to meet Officer Matsuda's first love."

Yuuji agreed, put on his mask, and entered the venue in the blink of an eye. After assuring the staff at the door that he was just looking for someone, he wandered around the venue and heard the topics discussed by pairs of men and women.

"Hey, have you bought insurance for yourself? The insurance limit of Suzuki Accident Insurance Company is very large. I work there and I bought insurance for my parents."

[Don't try to attract clients when you go on a blind date, ma'am.]

"My parents haven't talked about this much, but if it comes to insurance, is it really useful?"

The man was obviously in a dilemma. He looked well-dressed and was obviously attracted to the insurance agent, so he planned to create opportunities for the two of them by buying insurance.

Yuji naturally saw it. Although he felt that the woman's intentions were not pure, she was not stupid and obviously had some feelings for him.

"Miss, I want to ask you a question. What kind of man do you think is the most attractive?"

The man's questioning made his thoughts clear, so the woman also became shy.

"Hmm...who bought a lot of insurance?" (End of this chapter)
