Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"The police station in an ordinary city is not as good as the one in Beika Town."

After parking their motorcycle in the parking lot of the Hakodate Police Station, the two brothers hung their helmets on the motorcycle and looked up at the building.

On the way here, although it was not obvious, Yuji and Conan could always sense someone following them secretly. When they observed through the rearview mirror of the motorcycle, they found that it was a group of men in black clothes. Conan's old problem came back again.

"Could it be someone from the organization?"

"Who knows? I can't just run over and tap them on the shoulder and ask."

Yuuji walked in front, the police station seemed very lively, and in the collective office on the first floor, the two boys indeed met an old acquaintance.

"Officer Nakamori!"

The boy's sudden voice interrupted Nakamori Ginzo who was talking to the local police. The moment he saw Yuuji, his brows frowned, and then he noticed Conan, who he didn't see at first because he was behind Yuuji, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out to be you."

"Yes, I didn't get to meet Officer Nakamori last time at the museum."

Yuuji's words made Nakamori Ginzo's expression darken. He was inexplicably bewitched and replaced by the strange thief Crow. If it weren't for the order from the top leaders, he might have to go home and reflect for a while.

"You always say things that others don't want to hear."

Conan complained about his younger brother, and then began to run around the office collecting information like a child, humming nursery rhymes.

[The target is... a Japanese sword? Why doesn't this guy steal gems anymore? ]

Conan looked at a printed photo of Kid's trailer on the desk and took out his cell phone to take a picture.

It was really strange. Even though the sound of the mobile phone taking pictures was quite loud, the policemen in the office seemed to not pay attention to it. They all stared at Yuji at the door, which made Conan a little confused.

Normally, someone would shout "Whose child is this?" or something like that, but no one did that today.

"I came here to find out more about Kaito Kidd."

"You should know better than me." Ginzo Nakamori noticed that Yuji looked confused, so he walked to Conan and handed the photo to Yuji.

"Kaito Kid has set his sights on the two precious swords of the Axue family, and these two swords seem to overlap with the person that the Hakodate police are focusing on investigating, so this time we have to work together."

"Then please take us with you when you go to the scene. I will say hello to the old man."

"We need to discuss this with the police in Hakodate..."

Before Nakamori Ginzo finished his words, another voice appeared.

"Inspector Nakamori from Tokyo should have the power to make his own decisions, but mutual understanding is his gentle side."

A man who looked like the person in charge of the Hakodate police walked out from the crowd.

"I think it would be nice for the young man to come along."

"Who is this……"

"Inspector Nishimura!"

Conan interrupted Ginzo Nakamori's introduction, and the elementary school student ran to Yuuji and greeted the police inspector named Nishimura with a smile.

"Oh, it's Conan, the adopted son of Maori Kogoro."

The two exchanged pleasantries in the silence between Yuji and Nakamori Ginzo, and from what they said, Yuji roughly knew how they met. It was a familiar old-fashioned plot that the Mori family went out for a trip and then got involved in a murder case. Inspector Nishimura appeared in that scene. Of course, although the other party was almost able to solve the case in the end, he was still one step ahead of the sleeping Mori Kogoro.

"Your adoptive father has become more and more famous recently. I often see him sleeping when I turn on the TV."

Inspector Nishimura refused to talk about the person he was investigating, and left the office with his subordinates, saying that this had nothing to do with Kidd's actions for the time being. Before leaving, he even took out a stack of meal coupons from his desk.

"This is specially prepared for everyone coming from Tokyo. Just use it in the cafeteria."

Inspector Nishimura said seriously, "There was a murder in a massage parlor, and I need to take someone there now."

"A murder case..." Conan was eager to follow, but was lightly kicked by Yuji and calmed down instantly, but still couldn't help himself.

"Inspector Nishimura, can you tell me what the murder case is? Uncle Maori said he is very interested."

Conan's usual skill of borrowing names was activated, and Kogoro Mouri, who was still on his way to Hakodate, was unknowingly labeled as "meddlesome".

"Don't worry, there is no conspiracy. It's just that a man in his 50s had a heart attack in the massage room because he was too excited."

Both brothers showed disdainful expressions, but Yuji still made Conan's request come true.

"Uncle Maori seemed to say that he was even more interested, and asked us to ask Inspector Nishimura for the name of the massage parlor."

"Detective Maori is really a man of character."

Officer Nishimura complained lightly about Kogoro Mouri, and Ginzo Nakamori, who was standing next to the boy and watching Yuuji snatch the phone and pretend to be happy, fixed his eyes on the empty screen of the phone. He opened and closed his mouth, and finally didn't know what to say.

"Well, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Ginzo Nakamori took out two meal coupons and handed them to Yuuji, saying that he and his group needed to classify and analyze the documents again, and asked the two boys to go eat first and then go to the scene together in the afternoon.

"it is good."

The boy took the meal ticket directly and walked towards the cafeteria with Conan according to the instructions in the police station.

"You've ruined uncle's reputation again." Conan sat down with the fried fish set meal and drank the flavor-enhancing soup.

"You seem to do this more than me."

At least six out of ten times it was Conan, and the remaining three times it was Kogoro Mouri himself who really thought so.

"to be honest……"

Conan looked around, then winked at Yuuji in a low voice, "You don't really want to go, do you?"

"What?" Yuji picked up the most delicious crab roe tamagoyaki in the set meal and said, "Is the food in the cafeteria not to your liking?"

"Uh, okay..."

"Then eat quickly."

Conan looked down at his plate, then squinted his eyes and glared at his brother who picked up another piece of tamagoyaki and put it into his mouth.

"What you just ate was my tamagoyaki!"

"Yeah, I thought you were used to it." (End of this chapter)
