Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Kudo Shinichi will definitely leave from here."

Sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, Kogoro Mouri held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. Because the hotel lobby was a non-smoking area, he could only put the cigarette under his nose from time to time to relieve his craving for cigarettes.

Kogoro Mori felt extremely uncomfortable towards this boy who he had seen grow up to be close to his daughter and who finally had a new breakthrough in their relationship recently. Although he had expected this day a long time ago, as a father he still found it a little hard to accept it.

At the hotel entrance, the Kudo brothers, who got out of the car at an intersection, stuck their heads out and looked inside quietly. It was not until Kogoro Mouri, who was staring at the green plants in the lobby in a daze, raised his head that they suddenly moved away from the entrance.

"I think you should imitate the prince now. Maybe Her Royal Highness will let her hair down from the window."

Yuji was still thinking about the story of Princess Rapunzel. When he saw Kudo Shinichi's face suddenly turned ugly, he nodded with satisfaction.

"What you said is nonsense. The uncle blocked us in the lobby because there is no other passage or back door in this hotel. The lobby is the only way to enter the hotel."

Kudo Shinichi was sure that if he walked in arrogantly, he would be beaten up by Uncle Mori, so he placed his hope on his younger brother next to him.

"Your eyes suddenly became unscrupulous." Yuji curled his lips and rubbed the Kudo Shinichi mask on his face: "The uncle wanted you to respond to him directly, but you planned to let me get beaten. This is a bit inappropriate."

"But don't think that the uncle usually drinks and plays mahjong, his fighting skills have not deteriorated much." Kudo Shinichi swallowed his saliva: "I will definitely be beaten to death if I go there."

The lofty ambitions that he had set in the car just now disappeared the moment Kudo Shinichi saw Mori Kogoro. He became a little timid and was about to urge his brother, but noticed that the other party had already thrown the shoes and two pens to him, so he turned around to take the shoes from Nana Komachi's hand.

"In short, your father-in-law should handle it by himself. Avoiding the problem will not solve it."

Yuji couldn't wait to see his elder brother knock over Kogoro Mori, or his uncle knock over Shinichi Kudo. After putting on his new leather shoes, he drove his elder brother out while putting on another mask over the mask.

With his legs slightly bent, the moment Kudo Shinichi appeared in the hall, Uncle Maori also cast his gaze over.

With his years of experience as a detective, he noticed that the guy was leaning sideways to make it easier for him to escape. Kogoro Mouri snorted, put the cigarette back into the box, and stood up from the sofa.

Probably because this person showed up at the hotel early in the morning, many guests staying on the first floor of the hotel noticed that he had started to move around and shifted their attention over here.

"Uncle!"

Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hands vigilantly, but found that Maori Kogoro didn't even look at him, but walked past him and walked out of the door with his back to him.

"Boy, are you really ready?"

Finally, Kogoro Mouri confirmed with Shinichi Kudo: "Once you've confirmed it, you can't go back on your word." "Of course!" Shinichi Kudo's eyes finally became a little more mature from his previous timidity. He slowly walked forward and stood behind Kogoro Mouri.

"Uncle, I have made up my mind. I will take good care of Xiaolan. Please leave Xiaolan to..."

Kudo Shinichi didn't finish his words because Mouri Kogoro turned around and punched him right in the stomach.

"It's shameless to talk big."

[Luckily I didn't go to meet him as Kudo Shinichi, otherwise the punch would have hit me directly, exposing my identity.]

Yuuji was sitting in the tea room in the hall, looking at Shinichi who was kneeling on the ground in pain because of the heavy punch. He heard the exclamations from the people watching the excitement in the hall, and continued to follow the news from Hakodate on his mobile phone, and asked Gojo and Miura if they had any new discoveries.

[The new discovery is that this bodyguard and driver is not as badly injured as rumored. Judging from the way he walks and serves tea, he is no different from a normal person as long as he does not participate in extreme sports.]
Most of the information Goshiro obtained as a reporter was not credible. He compiled what he thought was the truth and the lies told by the driver into a document and sent it to Yuuji, adding his own judgment.

[This driver really admires Axie Takuzo's father, and you can feel it from his words.]
Yuji nodded, noticing that his brother, who had bruises on his face and had been pulled by the ear by the uncle, was a little curious about what had happened between the two.

"Miss, please give the room card to my daughter."

After leaving the room card at the front desk, Kogoro Mouri tapped Kudo Shinichi's head with his hand, and then took the lead to go outside to hail a taxi.

"I can't get close, otherwise I would know what connection they have..."

Yuji also hurriedly chased after him, put on headphones and played the recording left by the bug he had placed on Kudo Shinichi's clothes in advance.

"Boy, responsibility is not something you can take lightly. A girl's second half of her life can't just be shouldered."

Kogoro Mori's voice sounded somewhat serious. He proposed that he would entrust Kudo Shinichi to take over this case as a real detective, and that he would take on three additional commissions in Hakodate.

"It's not the hobby game I used to play. It's real detective work where I accept commissions and receive commissions..."

Kudo Shinichi naturally agreed and understood what the uncle's test was.

The unprepared Kogoro Mori became a father in a hurry, and he had to find a source of income to support the entire family in a short period of time, completing the transformation from a student who has not graduated to a real adult.

"If you don't succeed, just continue playing this love game to the end." (End of this chapter)
