Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I am back."

After dropping the box at the door, Yuuji changed his indoor slippers at the entrance of Kudo's house and found that no one came out to greet him. All the lights in the house were on, and the whole house was filled with laughter...

"Welcome... Welcome back."

Rize timidly poked his head out of the living room door, then shrank back, leaving only one eye outside looking at the sixteen-year-old boy.

"Ah, I'm back."

Yuji didn't treat it with any special attitude, just stepped on the floor normally: "The lights next door are not on, are the doctor and others here?"

"Grandma... Sister Yukiko said that she prepared a lot of food and it would be a waste if we couldn't finish it, so she invited the professor and his family to have dinner..."

[Sister Yukiko, what a messed up name...]

Yuuji reluctantly took the girl's hand, and walked into the dining room through the living room with Rize. Smelling the aroma of food, the two of them sat down in their empty seats.

"Auntie Eri is here too."

The boy saw the Maori mother and daughter sitting next to the old lady and laughing and chatting, and suddenly noticed that Conan and Maori Kogoro were not in the restaurant.

[I guess he went to eat ramen. 】

A group of people have a meal, and then do some post-meal digestion activities according to their preferences.

Ignoring the women who were chattering away watching TV dramas in the living room, Yuuji pushed open the door of the circular study. He first caught a glimpse of Rize who was sitting on a wooden stepladder reading Gulliver's Travels, then stared at his father who was working on a manuscript and Dr. Agasa who was reading a first-hand work next to him.

"As soon as I returned to Tokyo, I heard people saying that Kaito Kidd had issued another challenge to the Suzuki Corporation?"

Yuji sat on the sofa, picked up an orange on the coffee table and took a bite. He found that the plump apple was not as delicious as he thought, so he simply complained: "I should buy a different kind next time."

"You're right about the notice. We don't know the details, but we know about the notice."

Kudo Yusaku wrote and drew. He seemed not satisfied with the plot he had come up with in a short time, so he crumpled up the manuscript in front of him and threw it into the wastebasket. "That family is really restless."

The boy took out his cell phone and searched for information about Kaito Kid. The first piece of information was that the Suzuki Group had strengthened protection of the renovated museum in Beika.

"And they hired... Mrs. Kuroba, the wife of the famous magician Kuroba Toichi, as the gem guardian this time?"

Yuji raised his head and blinked in confusion: "What is this operation? Consultant Suzuki wants to give the gem to Kaito Kidd?"

"This old man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

Dr. Agasa raised his head proudly: "I heard from Ai that he already knows the true identity of Kaito Kidd. His daughter has been taken care of by this couple, so he must have pulled Mrs. Kuroba to the Suzuki Group camp through Yuko."

"It fits Auntie's personality. Is this a duel between a man and a woman from the Kidd family?"

If the Kuroba family really wanted it, according to Suzuki Jirokichi's character, it would be normal to give the gem that was announced this time directly to the Kuroba couple. But at this time, the two sides would definitely have a fierce confrontation.

"Well, we can just watch the fun." Kudo Yu used a dry towel to wipe his glasses: "This is a good thing. After all, the share price of Suzuki Group has risen again."

Half of the billions that had been spent before were returned, and Kudo Yusaku's pressure was much less.

On the sofa, Yuji imagined that on the night of the theft of the gemstones, the Kuroba father and son sneaked into the Suzuki Museum after disguising themselves. The two sides fought several times, and even Kuroba Chikage and Yuko were knocked down. When they were about to steal the gemstones...

(Dad, why, why did you betray me!)

"What do you mean two against two? It's obviously three against one..."

Before he could finish his words, Kuroba Rize, who was sitting on the ladder, noticed that the father was giving a cunning smile.

"No, it should be N to one."

Kidd stealing the gem should be changed to Kidd's great escape. (End of this chapter)
