Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

The police removed the entire wall, and the female corpse was placed on the ground. After inspection, Hattori and Yuji roughly confirmed her true identity, that is, the missing sister of Sakuragi-senpai, and there were obvious marks of strangulation on her neck.

However, after examining the body, the coroner said that she died suddenly!

Not long after, Officer Otaki received a call, and then the two boys were sent back to Hattori's house.

Still sitting in the same place as last night, Yuji threw a small stone into the lake. In the main room, Hattori Heiji was arguing with his father.

"Didn't I tell you to leave the rest to the police? Children should do what children should do. Don't interfere in this case anymore!"

"What are you talking about? The coroner actually said that the body with obvious strangulation marks was a sudden death. Is this how you police handle cases?"

"There are some things you don't understand. I don't let you get involved for your own good. Take that Kanto kid to Osaka for a good look. He's leaving tomorrow, isn't he?"

Hattori Heiji rushed out of the main room in a huff and walked on the road with Yuuji. Because they hadn't had lunch yet, the two found a ramen restaurant and went in.

"This noodle is really spicy!"

"Spicy? It's salty, right?" Yuji slurped a mouthful of noodles and ate them with fried dumplings: "That old school building, wasn't it a chemical research institute before? What was its name?"

"It seems to be... Hakubato Research Institute, a branch in Tokyo. I heard that after it went bankrupt, it was acquired by a large consortium in Tokyo. People in Osaka didn't want it, so they sold it to Kaikata Academy at a low price."

Hattori Heiji ordered another serving of fried dumplings. The two watched the National High School Karate Kanto Tournament on TV. After quickly finishing the noodles, they poured the white rice into the noodles and mixed them together.

"Hakubato... Hakubato? This name is so familiar. Where have you heard it before?" Yuji put down the spoon in his hand and turned to look at Hattori Heiji who was eating.

"I don't know. That was almost 20 years ago. How could you know that?"

"Yeah... Since uncle said that, he must have known some dangerous place, so he didn't let you get involved. Don't go check it out in a hurry."

"I know. You're as nagging as Kazuha!" Heiji didn't look up, and kept looking at the remaining soup in the ramen bowl.

This is the first time I've seen that old man with such an ugly expression.

Yuuji watched Xiaolan defeat her opponent and enter the next game on TV, and then called Shinichi again.

"Brother, did you cheer for Xiaolan?

I'll go back tomorrow.

Aren't you going to Dorobiga Paradise tomorrow?

It's okay, I'll ask Dr. Agasa to pick me up."

Before coming to Osaka, Shinichi told his brother that whether Xiaolan won the championship or not, he would take her to Dorobiga Paradise.

Originally, he was still hesitating. After the trip to Osaka, Yuuji decided to let it go.

Conan will be online tomorrow. The boy who adjusted his mentality now just feels strange. Why do I only feel excited?

After dinner, Hattori Heiji took Yuuji around and bought a lot of things to take back to Tokyo.

The next afternoon, Yuuji walked out of the station and got on Dr. Agasa's car and returned home.

"Yuuji, are you not going to school yet?" The doctor looked at the boy worriedly.

"It's okay, doctor. Many third-year students have passed the entrance exam for Teitan High School, and no one goes to school much."

When he was just promoted to the third year of junior high school, Yuuji and many students of the same grade took the special entrance exam for Teitan High School to Teitan Junior High School.

Usami Yuzuki and Minami Kaori also passed the exam. The school has no requirements for these students. As long as the reason for the leave is clear, they can stay at home for the whole year.

Yuuji put down his gift and left the house. He has a lot of money in his hands these years and plans to buy a house of his own outside.

The organization will come to Kudo's house to check if nothing unexpected happens. Seeing that he is still living here, they may leave surveillance and wiretaps. He didn't want his every move to be seen clearly by others, so he just moved out.

Yuji came to the house sales company and expressed his intention to buy a house and the funds in his hand. The other party immediately sent a specialist to serve.

"What kind of house does Mr. Kudo want to buy? Apartment, villa, or single-family house?"

"Single-family house." The villa of Kudo's family is still too big for Yuji alone, and single-family house is just right.

The house sales took out a photo album and put it in front of Yuji: "These are all brand new single-family houses. The furniture and appliances are all complete, and they are basically new models in the past two years, but the price is a little more expensive than second-hand ones."

"That doesn't matter, I don't want to live in a house that others have lived in." Yuji opened the album and looked at it page by page. He took a fancy to the sixth house.

The sixth house is surrounded by black brick and stone walls, a garage and a small yard, and the walls of the house are black.

There are two rooms on the first floor, a dry and wet separated bathroom, and a bathtub that can accommodate two people. The living room, dining room and kitchen are connected, about 80 square meters.

There are three rooms on the second floor and a bathroom with the same configuration. The third floor is a loft. The total size of the house and the yard is 186 square meters. It was designed by a professional designer and cost 380 million yen.

It's so expensive! Once this house is bought, one-tenth of his savings will be spent. Yuji suddenly felt that his wallet was bleeding. If it weren't for the fact that he made a lot of money from the comic books, animations, and derivative peripherals in the past two years, he would have come here for nothing.

Fortunately, Beika Town is not considered the center of Tokyo, otherwise the price of this house might have tripled.

"Mr. Kudo is really good at buying this house. Many people want to buy this house. Not only is it big, but the annual property tax is only 2.65 million yen. It's very cheap, right?"

Yuji trembled as he took out a card from his wallet and put it on the table, with his hands crossed on his chin: "You have to give me everything you can give me. I want this house!"

Money makes the world go round, not to mention that Yuji is a big customer who paid more than 300 million yen in one go. In less than an hour, this house belonged to Kudo Yuji.

As a gift for buying a house, the real estate company generously gave away five sets of bedding, which Yuji complained about being stingy.

Holding the "Kudo" sign in his hand, Yuji put the resident name tag box at the gate of the fence, and then called Amuro Toru.

"Is this... Mr. Kudo's house?"

Standing at the door of Kudo House No. 2, Matsuda silently took off his sunglasses and pointed at the name tag.

"Is it too late for me to draw comics now?"

Yuji took Matsuda and Amuro Toru into the yard, opened the door, and pointed to the room on the first floor near the door: "This is for Mr. Amuro!

Officer Matsuda doesn't have it, don't look at me like that."

Yuji asked Amuro Toru to prepare food for the housewarming party, and then invited Minami Kaori and Usami Yuzuki, who were also surprised that Yuji suddenly bought a house.

"That means Yuji will live here from tomorrow, right? Then can I still come here to draw comics?"

"It's okay, there are many empty rooms, and it's okay to take a nap here."

After a simple celebration, just as they were about to start, Matsuda Jinpei's phone rang.

He answered the phone, and the voice of Officer Megure came from the phone: "Brother Matsuda, there was a death on the roller coaster in Dorobiga Park, come quickly."

Yuji took a sip of coffee, and then watched the back of Matsuda Jinpei who ran out the door.

The gears of fate were about to turn.
