Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I was wrong. I was really wrong. I shouldn't have said such nonsense to the child."

Sitting in the back seat, Yuji looked at the two girls through the rearview mirror somewhat helplessly, made a quiet gesture to them, and then pointed in the direction of the back.

"I finally fell asleep, don't wake me up."

After being caught by Yuzuki and Kaori in the Kudo family yard on a temporary day, Yuji had no choice but to reluctantly take his daughter to the car parked on the road, and also saw his mother in the driver's seat of the seven-seater car.

"I should have thought of it earlier. How could you let a little girl come all the way to Hakodate by herself?"

With his elbow against the door, the boy was curious: "Could it be that bus?"

"That's not it." Yukiko Kudo was holding the steering wheel. Her granddaughter was sleeping in the car, so she rarely drove fast but drove slowly.

"We arrived in Hakodate in the morning. The bus that Rize took was arranged by Sharon."

"Oh, you guys, dad is in Hakodate too?"

Yuji thought of the shrine. He hadn't fully figured out the internal code yet. Maybe he could ask for off-site assistance. It wouldn't be a waste if he didn't use it.

"He drove out to go shopping." Kudo Yukiko parked the car steadily in the hotel parking lot, then turned off the engine and said, "I heard him say that it seemed that your grandfather or his grandfather had been here before."

Speaking of the elders of the Kudo family, Yuji suddenly remembered the secret of APTX developed by Haibara Ai. After the girls entered the hotel with their sleeping daughter, he asked his mother to chat with him for a while in the lobby.

"It's just that I have a question. I'm not very clear about the elders in my family."

Yuji said that the Kudo brothers didn't know much about either their mother's or father's side, as if the Kudo couple appeared out of nowhere.

"Are mom's parents still alive?"

Yuuji said something that immediately caused a mark of anger to appear on Kudo Yukiko's forehead.

"Of course, stupid brat!"

Yukiko knocked her son's head three times, then put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't know about your father, but everything is quite normal here."

After deciding to take her two sons back to her parents' house when she has time, Kudo Yukiko told Yuuji to bring Shinichi and Xiaolan over tomorrow and then went back to her room.

"Well, I'd better run away honestly before they come down."

He left the hotel without looking back. …

"After waiting for so long, nothing happened."

In the police station, the policemen who received the guard mission from Dequan were all a little exhausted. Although they could change shifts every three hours, due to the small number of policemen, they only rested for three hours before letting the replacements rest.

The most frustrated are the local police in Hakodate. Since they also have normal work in the city, they have to go out to solve problems during their three-hour rest time.

"Fortunately, there haven't been any murders or anything like that in the past two days, so we can relax a little."

A Hakodate policeman said to the Tokyo policeman not far away, "Except for the woman who killed her husband's boss when she got angry, there is only one murderer in Hakodate these two days. I don't know which god has shown his power to make everyone be kind."

“I think this is a good thing.”

The voices that suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor were undoubtedly those of Officer Nishimura, Officer Nakamori, and Kogoro Mori.

After pacifying Takuzo Axe and interrogating Brian and all his men one by one, the police finally had solid evidence to prove that Brian was not clean, so they finally had time to solve the case in the office building.

"In fact, I wanted to tell Mr. Maori when they first showed me the transcript, but it was not appropriate to talk about it at that time, so I did not bring it up."

The three of them sat in a small conference room at the police station. Officer Nishimura handed copies of the transcript to Kogoro Mori and Ginzo Nakamori, and reminded them to pay special attention to the third line of the sixth paragraph.

"This lady said that the person she hired, and who solved the case, was Detective Fujimine Maru from the Mori Detective Agency."

Officer Nishimura crossed his arms and said, "I didn't take it seriously when my subordinates told me that the case had been solved by a detective and that the police needed to take over the scene. It was only after I saw this transcript that I realized that this detective seemed to have some relationship with Mr. Maori."

Mr. Maori was very embarrassed. He knew who Fujimine Maru was at a glance, but every time Kudo Shinichi appeared, he was sneaky. He also roughly knew that this kid was probably in trouble, so he couldn't reveal Kudo Shinichi now.

"Ah, it's just that the detective I'm working with wants to borrow some of the fame of the Maori Detective Agency. That's easy to understand."

Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said, "I will take 30% of each commission, but this detective agency is just an experiment. I want to see if the Maori Detective Agency can open a branch in the future."

"Okay, as long as this person isn't suspicious."

Officer Nishimura rubbed his eyes and said, "Afue Takuzo said that we will go to the shrine tomorrow, so everyone should take time to go. Now go and rest."
