Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Damn it, the looks those people gave me when I checked out were so embarrassing..."

Wearing the Western dress that Kuroba Kaito bought from outside in the middle of the night, Hakuba covered her skirt with her hands and noticed that many people on the street were staring at her with strange eyes.

Although there is almost no service in a couples hotel the entire time, and you choose the suites and equipment on a machine and then the waiter delivers the consumer goods to the door of the room, there are people everywhere when you go out.

"Don't worry, we have nothing to fear. We haven't done anything shameful."

Feeling the dull pain from the cuts on his body, Kuroba Kaito rubbed his shoulders, hesitating whether to take Hakuba back to the hot spring hotel.

"If there's nothing particularly important, don't go back."

Seeing him lost in thought, Bai Ma immediately understood what this guy was thinking. He had finally managed to get out of trouble, but why did he rush to get involved in it?

"I really don't plan to go back to the hotel."

Kuroba Kaito didn't finish his words. He believed that Hakuba understood what he meant. The matter of the sword was not over yet and Kaito Kidd would not stop here.

Just like the news that was broadcast on TV when he woke up in the morning about Kid's attack on Takuzo Axie last night, now that his family members are involved, Kuroba Kaito believes that what he should do is not over yet.

"Then we have to part here temporarily."

Hakuba stopped and saw Kuroba Kaito turned around in shock. He thought that this guy was surprised because he didn't join him, so he said helplessly: "There are still hot springs to soak in. I have to change back as soon as possible."

"What surprises me is that you still believe what the old man said even now."

"There's no other way, right?"

Hakuba turned his back, waved his hand and left Kuroba Kaito's sight. Seeing the girl's back, Kuroba Kaito rubbed his nose and suddenly remembered what Yuji had talked about with him in Tokyo.

[As for the curse, it is more effective if it is from your Highness the Prince.]
In fairy tales, the beautiful girl who was cursed would always be restored to her original state because of the prince's kiss. Yuji once mentioned this to him.

"Your Highness, this is not easy to find."

Kuroba Kaito shook his head, still feeling that this idea was quite unreliable. He could only hope that the next time he saw Hakuba he would have recovered into a man so that he could continue to compete with him.

"Well, let's go find out where those two knives that dad mentioned are."

…"So everything Ghost Face said is right, right?"

In a building not far from the hospital, Brian, who was sitting on a sofa and smoking a cigar, was looking at two men dressed as nurses in front of him. The thick, long black object in his mouth was already making a squeaking sound from being bitten by him.

"That stupid Axe Takuzo actually tricked me and wanted the police to arrest me directly."

Brian was so angry that he laughed. He had never taken this good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun seriously before, but he didn't expect to be fooled by him. This made the arms dealer feel very humiliated.

Although Ghost Face had said this in advance, after confirming that it was true, Brian no longer needed anyone's encouragement. He couldn't wait to kill Axe Takuzo and watch this guy fall in a pool of blood.

"When will Afue Takuzo be released from the hospital?"

Brian took the cigar out of his mouth. He couldn't do it in the hospital because the hospital was acquired by the Karasuma Group from the Axe Group two years ago.

Killing Takuzo Axie is a small matter, but offending the Karasuma Group will probably make the arms dealer die without a complete body even if he flees to another country. Everyone knows that there are some unclear things following the dark shadows behind these Japanese groups.

"It seems that Afue Takuzo intends to stay in the hospital. At least until the police catch his attacker, this guy should stay in that ward."

The caregiver on the left looked up cautiously and told the whole story about Axie Takuzo's decision to be a coward.

"It's indeed the style of a waste."

Brian grinned. "No need for other means. Arrange a few more nurses to go in and shorten the shift time. Let him realize that the people around him change shifts too frequently."

The arms dealer tapped the handrail: "Pay attention to the guidance."

People who are afraid of death like to think too much. As long as Takuzo Axe feels that it is not safe to stay in the hospital, he will naturally rush to leave, even if he is protected by the police.

Brian patted the black box at hand and took a deep breath. This was the goods from one of his transactions, but because the buyer died before paying, the goods rotted in his hands. Except for normal maintenance, he never took them out to remind him to collect deposits every time.

"I'll be waiting for you here, Fujiang Takuzo..."

Next to the sofa, the ghost mask prepared in advance was lying there quietly.

"And you, Ghost Mask." (End of this chapter)
