Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"This is the shrine that you must visit, Mr. Axe."

Rows of cars stopped in front of the mountain road. Kogoro Mori, who got off from the front, looked at Takuzo Axie, who was hiding behind him and looking around nervously, and rolled his eyes in disgust.

This guy had always said that he would reward him handsomely, but up to now he hasn't even seen a single 5 yen. If it were those two crazy detective guys in Osaka or the Kudo family, they might be willing to work for free, but Kogoro Mori, who has to earn money to support his family, wouldn't take a big payout.

Kudo Shinichi had no idea that under his influence, he had gained intuitive feedback on his reasoning ability and was now a little reluctant to work for others for nothing. Maori Kogoro believed that the brat would definitely not be able to complete the requirements he set for him, and he felt complacent when he thought of this.

Of course, in the end his daughter had to be handed over to Kudo Shinichi, but before that, as the future father-in-law, he had to test Kudo well.

[It would be nice if Conan was a little older, even if he was only five years older, he could help put some pressure on Kudo Shinichi.]

Comparing a girl with the husband chosen by her parents as a child, isn't this a common scene on TV?

When Officer Nishimura, who was walking over, slapped him on the shoulder, Kogoro Mouri was startled and shuddered, then looked at Nishimura with an unfriendly look.

"Mori-kun, are you okay? You don't respond no matter how I call you."

"No...it's okay."

I am concerned about him, so I can't complain.

"But it's really strange that Minister Tokuizumi would agree to let us go outside at this time." Officer Nakamori glanced at Axie Takuzo: "I heard that he was also discussing this shrine with the local police yesterday."

"This shrine? Why?"

Takuzo Axie looked at Ginzo Nakamori with surprise. This shrine was built with the help of his grandfather during the relocation, and his family had made it very clear that although the old gods were still enshrined, the main purpose was to worship the family.

"I came here only because the spirit tablets and graves of my grandparents, father and mother are all here."

"I hope so, Mr. Fu Jiang."

Officer Nishimura looked at Takuzo Axie meaningfully, then waved to the policemen he brought to follow him up the mountain, not mainly to protect Takuzo Axie, but to guard against him.

Because of the words "old friend" that Onimian said in the hospital, in almost everyone's mind, Axe Takuzo is a guy who appears to be weak but no one knows what he is planning.

"We came very early today, so there probably aren't many people here yet..."

Actually, it wasn't. As soon as everyone crossed the Torii Gate, they saw the shrine maiden and... standing by the money box and chatting.

"Aoko?! Why are you here?!"

Nakamori Ginzo widened his eyes and walked out from behind Nishimura and Maori Kogoro in disbelief: "What are you doing here?"

"Ah, it's dad!"

Nakamori Aoko looked at her father with some surprise, then immediately stretched her neck to look back. She didn't see Kuroba Kaito in the crowd, so her excitement faded a little. But she still walked towards the torii and said, "What are you talking about? Kaito is here, so of course I have to come too."

"…It's very dangerous here, don't you know?!"

Nakamori Ginzo put his hands on his hips with some dissatisfaction, and was about to scold his daughter to show his father's authority, but the next second, his daughter's hand pinched his face hard.

"It hurts, what are you doing!"

"You don't want me to come so much, are you pretending to be Kaito?"

Nakamori Aoko saw the red marks on his face and said with relief, "It looks like he's really my dad."

"Really? How did you get to this shrine?" Nakamori Ginzo pulled his daughter behind him, trying to keep her as far away from Axe Takuzo as possible.

"I called Officer Nanquan who came with you, and he said you were going to this shrine in the morning, so he got up and came here."

"That idiot!" Nakamori Ginzo scolded his subordinates helplessly. Not to mention that they brought Takuzo Axe to the shrine as a secret operation, it was because these guys were willing to tell Aoko everything that all the previous preparations to guard against Kidd became ineffective!

"Okay, okay, Officer Nanquan must have felt that Hakodate was too dangerous, so he told me to join you as soon as possible. It will be safer if I stay with the police."

Aoko Nakamori smiled with her eyes narrowed, comforting Officer Nakamori. She was quite skilled at this kind of thing, having learned it thoroughly from her childhood sweetheart.

"Mr. Maori, why do you seem to be in a much better mood?"

"Have it?"

Looking at Takuzo Axie, Kogoro Mori, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between father and daughter, raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, because you were clenching your fist just now, and now your fingers are beating rhythm on your legs." Takuzo Axe pointed at Kogoro Mori's right hand, making the embarrassed detective put his hand flat immediately.

"nothing."

I just felt a little comforted when I heard that Nakamori Gin's daughter flew to Hakodate for her childhood sweetheart.

[This kind of thing isn't unique to my family. ]

"So this is very strange. Why don't you four go solve the case, but have to go shopping with us girls?"

The third floor of the department store is very eye-catching because the women's clothing store is now crowded with a group of young and beautiful girls, and there are only four boys following them.

"There's nothing I can do. Miss Chris is here, and I have to accompany her."

Yuuji stood between Kaori and Yuzuki, and pouted at Rize who was being held by Kudo Yukiko and Chris, "And that child and you guys, how can I feel at ease leaving you out there?"

"What...what? Humph, even if you say that, don't even think about escaping tonight." Kaori really fell for it and blushed as she gave Yuji a look of despair.

"But, Miss Chris said she wanted to come over to sleep with Rize tonight, and mom also..."

"Indeed, it would be bad if we disturbed them while they were asleep, and it's not appropriate for mother and child to hear such things." Yuzuki met Yuji's eyes gently: "But Yuji, you know, we have also booked the room next door."

The boy could only fall into the control of darkness.

"Hey, Kudo, I feel like the way those men look at us has been pretty dangerous since just now." Hattori Heiji elbowed Conan, who had a depressed look on his face, then curiously rubbed his head, ruffling his hair.

"You've been acting like this since just now, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just when I was trying to muster up the courage, I suddenly realized that I was no longer qualified." Conan looked haggard.

"Whatever you want. And you, why did you come along too?"

The Osaka detective turned his head and glared at Okita Souji who was playing with the hair on his forehead.

"I didn't want to come either, but Ooka insisted on calling Yu..."

Okita Souji coughed awkwardly and complained, "Besides, it's so chaotic here and the kendo tournament has been suspended. I can't just sleep in the hotel every day."

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Iori who was hiding in the corner outside the store and staring at this side. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"That rascal……"
