Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"Fireworks festival? But isn't summer vacation over long ago?"

On Friday, on the way out of school, Yuji stood at the school gate and looked at the posters on the wall. Usami Yuzuki carried her bag and smoothed her hair a little.

"Will Kudo-san be there too? I heard it's by the river and there will be a lot of stalls."

By the river, I remember there seemed to be a shrine there.

"Maybe I'll go."

Yuji remembered that there was a temple fair scene in his manga next week, so he changed his bag from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and Yuji decided to take his notebook with him to collect information.

Growing up, I didn't seem to have participated in many fireworks festivals, because Kudo's house was quite far away from the river. How could a child go so far to watch the fireworks?

"Doctor! Hurry up! If you go late, you won't be able to see the fireworks!" At the door of Agasa's house, Yuji eagerly urged the doctor who was talking on the phone.

"I understand, let's go."

The yellow Beetle stopped at a shopping mall parking lot near the river, and Yuji and the doctor decided to walk the rest of the way.

The two walked slowly towards the river. Yuji noticed that the doctor seemed to be wearing younger clothes recently, and the clothes seemed to have Fusae's brand on them. Is this also a characteristic of love?

"Hey, Yuuji. Speaking of which, Shinichi seems to have taken Ran to the United States!"

"Ah~ there is such a thing." Yuji looked at the roadside and tried to substitute himself into the youth adventure group: "It's too troublesome to run around. If Sister Xiaolan hadn't been willing to go, my brother wouldn't go to the United States and go through such trouble. It’s a trip.”

While the two were talking, they discovered that there were already police patrolling here. Fireworks festivals in Japan are different from gatherings in other countries. They are organized by the government, and the Metropolitan Police Department will naturally send some ordinary police officers to maintain public order.

"It's Officer Matsuda and Officer Sato!" Yuji waved to Matsuda Jinpei from across a few police cars, and felt a little strange: "Aren't they responsible for violent incidents? Why are they here?"

"When there are no murders or kidnapping cases, the police from the third department are indeed the most idle, so it is not surprising to send them here." Dr. A Li also nodded to the police who looked here.

Entering from the road closure near the riverside shrine intersection, there are vendors with colorful lanterns on both sides. The genius is slightly dark, and there are few mask sellers who play Waka tapes next to their stalls, so that they can be heard everywhere in the stall.

Yuji bought a Masked Superman mask and put it on his head, holding candy apples in his hands. He chewed it one bite at a time, feeling that it wasn't very tasty.

"Doctor, let's have dinner here today. What do you want to eat?"

Dr. A Li smelled the fragrance in the air, swallowed his saliva, and stared straight at the barbecue stall.

"No, no! You can't eat that!" Yuji knew at a glance that the doctor was too greedy to walk: "Today, as a special case, I allow you to eat a portion of fried noodles and a box of takoyaki."

The young man pulled the doctor to the fried noodle stall. Just as he was about to take out his wallet, he saw an old acquaintance in front of him.

"Mr. Amuro! Why are you here?"

Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and tying a towel on his head, Toru Amuro was stir-frying noodles with two shovels. He quickly picked out two transparent plastic boxes, packed them into the boxes with a shovel, compacted them, and placed them on the wooden table nearby.

Toru Amuro took the water from the boy and took a sip, and then he started talking to the two of them.

"I'm here to work for someone I know well! Do Mr. Kudo and Dr. Agasa want to eat fried noodles?"

Yuji pinched out 500 yen and put it on the table, waiting for Toru Amuro to pack it for him.

"It's dinner today, please give me two portions, Mr. Amuro."

Toru Amuro took out a hundred yen from the coin box and gave it to Yuji. Then he took out two boxes of fried noodles that were placed on the table and handed them to Dr. Agasa.

"By the way, the third takoyaki shop is where I worked part-time before. Their takoyaki is delicious!"

Yuji and Dr. Agasa continued to move forward. They found a bench to sit down and prepared to enjoy fried noodles.

"Oh! It's so delicious." The doctor ate quickly, and his calm face started to smile.

Yuji picked one with chopsticks and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Whether it was fried noodles or fried rice, the secret to delicious food was to add more oil, but such things were not suitable for an old man like the doctor to eat, but today was special. Yuji also acquiesced.

The crowd gradually grew, and Yuji and the doctor stopped sitting, because in a place with limited visibility, it was easy for someone to sit on them without looking.

"Let's go see that takoyaki restaurant Mr. Amuro mentioned, doctor. Doctor?"

As expected, Yuji got separated from Dr. Agasa, so he had to walk forward slowly to see if he could find the doctor in front of the takoyaki restaurant Amuro Toru mentioned.

"Teacher Matsumoto, there are so many people here."

Usami Yuzuki is holding a water balloon with her left hand, and holding Sayuri Matsumoto's hand with her right hand.

"Yueyue, didn't I tell you that you can just call me Sayuri-nee outside of school?"

"I don't want to. If my classmates know that you are my cousin, I will be in the limelight." Usami pulled up her yukata and tried to stand on tiptoes to see if she could see Kudo-san.

"If you really want to find him, you might as well just call him and ask if he's here."

Sayuri Matsumoto opened the handbag the two brought, took out Usami Yuzuki's mobile phone and started looking for Kudo-san's phone number.

"Hey, Yuzuki, don't you have Kudo-san's phone number?" Matsumoto Sayuri looked at her sister in confusion.

"That's impossible. I obviously have Kudo-san's number." Usami Yuzuki was stunned for a moment, but seemed to remember something, and hurried to grab the phone from Matsumoto Sayuri.

"Oh! Is it the person who said Yuji kiss you? Yuzuki, you're so silly, I'm blushing!"

The girl's shy face became even more rosy after being teased. She stomped her feet and took a step back, but bumped into Yuji who was looking for someone.

"Hey! Kudo-san!"

"Ah, it's Usami. Why is Matsumoto here too?"

Yuji found Matsumoto Sayuri, who was also wearing a yukata, and the other party handed the bag in her hand to him and ran away. The boy looked at the completely dark sky, and suggested to Yuzuki Usami: "The fireworks are about to be set off, Usami-san, let's go to the shrine over there to watch."

The girl pulled the boy's sleeve, and the two walked in the opposite direction of the flow of people.

In front of the Okonomiyaki stall, Sayuri Matsumoto put her hand on her chin and pouted her mouth. She didn't know who she was pretending to be cute for.

"Yuzuki ran away with Kudo-san, so what should I do now?"

Sayuri Matsumoto was just strolling around while eating the marshmallows in her hand. She wanted to call Yuzuki at this time to ask about the situation over there, but she held back.

She was still looking around boredly, but someone behind her suddenly talked to her. It was a woman with long hair. The other party's expression seemed very anxious, and she came up directly.

"Excuse me, have you seen my sister? She is about 17 years old, with short brown wavy hair. I lost her!"
