Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Fish soup?"

After answering the phone, Ginzo Nakamori looked at Jirokichi Suzuki in front of everyone. All irrelevant people had been driven out of the Suzuki Museum, and now someone suddenly wanted to deliver fish soup into the museum. It was obvious that something was wrong.

The chef used Suzuki Yuko's request as an excuse. The van was now parked at the gate of the museum. The forbidden people stopped it and told Nakamori Ginzo what happened.

"Counselor Suzuki, why don't you call your daughter? It would be bad if the chef acts on his own." The police officer placed the cards on the table.

"If Miss Yuko says that she didn't ask the chef to bring soup, I'm going to arrest that chef and send him to jail."

Nakamori Ginzo's tough attitude made the other three frown, but he got the support of Conan because Kuroba Kaito and Mouri Ran appeared at the same time. Although Conan felt that something was wrong with Ran, he did not think she was Kid.

The three children were already asleep and probably didn't have the energy to continue playing with Kid. Seeing this, Rize, who had returned early, leaned against the empty space on the sofa, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Not long after, Yuji also came back from the bathroom with Haibara Ai.

"I asked Yuko about the fish soup, and she said that she did have someone prepare the fish soup, but she didn't plan to have anyone deliver it to the museum."

Suzuki Jirokichi's affirmative words made Conan and everyone else force out a smile. Detective Doron and Nakamori immediately put down their card games and went to check the surrounding mechanisms, while Kuroba Chikage was curious about how the fish soup tasted.

"The chef has brought in the fish soup." Nakamori Ginzo was looking forward to the chef's arrival. While urging Kuroba Chikage and Suzuki Jirokichi to clean the table, he was also looking forward to Kuroba Kaito's arrival.

"Ah, the fish soup is here."

The chef pulled a cart with a bucket of fish stock mounted on a portable gas engine.

"I couldn't get up the stairs, so I went to the freight elevator." The chef parked the cart next to the card table and urged everyone else to come and sit down.

Ginzo Nakamori, who refused to drink the fish soup, gave up the idea of ​​coming over to sit down. Conan took his place, his eyes eagerly looking forward to the fish soup.

"You said that this is the fish soup that Yuko asked you to deliver?" Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the chef with a very serious look.

"Yes, sir. Miss also thinks that only people outside are drinking fish soup, so we should send some in for you."

The chef quickly explained the process of bringing the fish soup in. He first put the fresh fish into the soup pot, then estimated the time and also put the stove used to warm the soup into the trunk, so that the fish soup could be eaten all the time without it heating up fast enough.

"I'll serve everyone fish soup."

After saying that, the chef was about to take the bowl that Conan had brought in, but his hand was immediately held down by the elementary school student.

"Mr. Chef, Officer Nakamori just said that there must be something wrong with your fish soup." Conan opened the lid and scooped a bowl, then placed it in front of the chef, carefully observing the guy's expression. He knew that Kuroba Kaito was afraid of fish, so...

"What's the problem?" The chef picked it up and was about to put it into his mouth, but as soon as he put it under his nose, he froze in place. It was not because of anything else, but the laxative smell hidden in the fish soup was too strong.

Miss Suzuya, who is written as a chef but reads as a butler, and wears a mask, provided Kaito Kuroba with the opportunity to infiltrate as Yuko planned, but in the end, the guy repaid her with evil.

[Ms. Yuko, when can you be more considerate of me...]

Suzuki Jirokichi, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to realize something and noticed that the chef was staring at him. He shouted out with a guilty look on his face, "Drink it, why don't you drink it?"

"Is there really a problem?" Yuji also came over, dipped his little finger in the fish soup, and then put it on the tip of his tongue, and immediately knew the ingredients of the fish soup.

[It tastes a bit bitter after tasting it carefully. Is it because too much laxative was added? ]

“I didn’t add any messy stuff.” The chef shook her head hurriedly, but she couldn’t pull her face manually to prove her innocence because she was wearing a mask.

"It's okay, you can drink it without worry."

"Then let me try it." Nakamori Ginzo slowly walked to the table and reached out to pinch the chef's face, but failed because the other party dodged too quickly.

Officer Nakamori thought the guy was Kaito and was about to attack him, but was immediately stopped by Suzuki Jirokichi.

"Don't worry, he's not Kidd." The consultant shook his head: "I'm sure of that.

"Mr. Suzuki, you can be sure that he is not Kidd just by listening to his words. This is too hasty."

(Hey, that’s enough. How dedicated do you want to portray Officer Nakamori?)

Suzuki Jirokichi...Suzuki Yuko glared at Kuroba Toichi, who had already thrown Officer Nakamori into an unknown corner and replaced him, and reminded him that he should now wait for Kaito to sneak in according to the plan.

"I see. In that case, the museum has a separate room for special collections. Let him stay there for now."

So except for Conan who stayed, the rest of the people immediately drove the cook away. Before leaving, Officer Nakamori picked up the fish soup and drank it all, preparing to go to the toilet to spit it out.

"It feels a little cold." Conan glanced at the poured fish soup and took two sips without waiting for Yuji to stop him.

"It seems like a lot of fish oil was added. It makes me feel warm when I drink it. The soup flows down from my mouth and my body starts to feel hot." Conan was just about to let Xiaolan drink it when he felt the soup continue to seep down.

"I'm going to the toilet!" (End of this chapter)
