Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"This is really..."

Natto was directly covered in Yuji's bowl. This was the love shown by an elderly person for his grandson. Fortunately, Yuji didn't like or dislike natto, so he didn't reject it directly.

No one at a table made a sound, Riyo just sat next to Kaori. When he saw everyone saying "I'm going to do it", he moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth.

Aunt Yoshimoto's craftsmanship is quite outstanding. As an old aunt in the Nan family who has risen from the perspective of a servant to a family member, she also went to many cooking schools to study at the request of her family.

[So Uncle Kazuma...surely he ate too much, that's why he had that expression. 】

The boy's eyes turned to the Miyano couple opposite who were eating stew. Yesterday, he accompanied the two sisters in Miyano's hometown to remember their "passed" parents, and now he was having dinner with these parents. The boy always found it inexplicably funny.

"Um?"

Sensing Yuji's gaze, Miyashita Kaoru raised his head and gave a forced smile to the boy who had accompanied the two girls all night yesterday. Although I approve of my daughter's actions, she is still a little embarrassed now.

"The stew tastes really good."

After finishing the meal, he placed his chopsticks on the empty bowl. Yuji was the first to break the stiff air. The old man once again returned to his scary old man appearance in the presence of outsiders. Even Mr. Tokusen kept his head down and just focused on eating.

That guilty look, no matter how he looked, he was afraid because he had brought someone who was not part of the old man's plan.

“The basics of Yoshimoto’s cooking were learned from Kaori’s grandmother.”

Minami Masamune finished the soup: "She has been working hard on that craft for so many years and wants to make it even more delicious. Kazuma is tired of it."

The results of every experiment would be served as a bento lunch for Kaori's father when he was still studying. Even when he was in college, the bento would be delivered to his hands on time every day.

Kaori, who had not been living in Kyoto, naturally escaped the disaster, so she understood her father, but that was all. Seeing Riyo eating with gusto, she even had the idea of ​​going home to study.

"Anyway, it was a delicious breakfast."

Miyashita Shimi, also known as Miyano Atsushi, also finished his meal. He looked at the old man at the head table and confirmed that the other person should know something.

"Really? It's very different from Tokyo's flavor, but I believe you can accept it."

Minami Masamune's words stopped Kaori who was drinking soup. She slowly put the bowl on the table. Her grandfather, who was watching the conversation, was a boy not much older than Bishi, and poked Yuuji under the table.

"Why does it feel weird?"

The boy tilted his head and motioned for Kaori to bring his ear closer. When the girl was close to Yuji, he whispered: "Take the little girl home when you're done eating."

Sure enough, he was beaten secretly. Yuji, who did not explain anything, looked helplessly at Kaori who was pulling the child away, then turned around and sat down quietly.

Breakfast was finished quickly, and after the remaining four people finished eating, the boy and Dequan consciously got up and started cleaning. However, there is no need to clean the tableware. As long as you leave the items outside the office, the police canteen will naturally send someone to collect them.

The tea sets and refreshments were placed on the table, and the adults picked up their tea cups.

"You two must be living a good life in Kyoto. Why did you suddenly come back to Tokyo?"

The information Minami Masamune received was that the two settled in Kyoto from Tokyo 18 years ago, but the previous events were unclear.

"What I found, many genetic tests in Kyoto were eventually transferred to your own research laboratory. You may have to start over again when you return to Tokyo."

With 18 years of connections, if you stay in Kyoto, your life will definitely be quite prosperous, and there is no need to leave your familiar place.

"I didn't expect that Chief Nan would pay attention to us."

"I always want to know clearly about people who are related to our family." Nan Zhengzong glared at Dequan, scaring the uncle who was drinking tea half to death.

"Not to mention, you two seem to be very close to Li Shi."

So what did these two people want to do by approaching his junior? Did they intend to use Riyo's life experience to blackmail him, the chief of the police department, and what were their plans?

After a brief investigation in Kyoto, he believed that the other party had no contact with him, so the old man decisively stopped paying attention to them, but now they actually appeared next to his family again.

Nan Zhengzong has been thinking about this issue since the beginning of the meal. Sure enough, he still has to find out the past of the two people in order to understand the other party's true purpose.

[We need to check what happened after they returned to Tokyo. 】

"Now you two..."

"Ah, we are not looking for a job for the time being." Shimi Miyashita held the tea cup: "The hospital here gave up its plan to invite us for an interview when it saw our photos."

The identities of the two were forged by Kuromaru's mother using her own connections. Don't think about it. They just made an identity at the Kyoto University School of Medicine. Hospitals here in Tokyo would not give them priority, let alone what they look like now. The original hospital was also entered through that side.

"Tokyo people are quite impetuous."

Minami Masamune glanced at Yuji, then looked away before the boy was about to speak.

"It just so happens that the Metropolitan Police recently caught a doctor in the Department of Genetics who committed murder. If you two don't mind, I can entrust the following people to help introduce him."

"That would be perfect."

"Oh, by the way, I recently planned to tell my dead wife about Rize, so I wanted to find the previous genetic test results, but unfortunately I can't find them anymore. Would you please print another copy for me?"

Minami Masamune's fingers stroked the rim of the cup.

"In fact, we don't keep any records after the test. If Mr. Minami wants, you can do another test later."

Miyashita and the other two chatted for a few words, and then got up to say goodbye. They wanted to go back yesterday, and everything after meeting Rize was a coincidence.

As for work, with the accumulation of the two over the years, it is enough for them not to work for decades. The reason why I thanked them for agreeing to introduce them is that I really want to have more opportunities to contact my daughters.

"No records were kept."

Looking at the office with only three people left, Minami Masamune snorted and laughed: "I'd be surprised if I believed it."

"Old man, you think too badly of others..." Yuji looked at Minami Masamune with hesitation.

"Well, in this world, 80% of what people say when you meet them for the first time should be treated as false, so as not to suffer a big loss." Minami Masamune took out a wooden box from his back and handed it to Yuuji, watching him pick up two boxes.

"As for detectives and police, they are people who extract information from truth and lies, but ordinary people don't have so much time to tell lies."

It's not an ordinary person who can hide his experience 18 years ago so perfectly.

The Miyano couple walked in front of the police department and looked back at the building, ready to go back to Kuromaru.

"Clean up the things when you go back."

This old man will not end it so easily. It will be troublesome if he is found out later.

"Yeah."
