Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"I see, the Fujiang family and our family still have such a connection."

In the coffee shop on the second floor of the shopping mall, Kudo Yusaku picked up the coffee in front of him. Although he was talking, there was no one in front of him. Instead, the Kuroba couple in disguise were sitting in the booth behind him. The three of them were using this method. way to communicate.

"In other words, you know about the so-called treasure."

Kudo Yusaku adjusted the hat on his head and looked at the large group of people coming out of the women's clothing store from the corner of his eye. He especially paused for a few seconds on Okita Souji's face.

[The resemblance is really too much, the relationship between Shinichi and Kaito is obviously different. 】

He had some doubts about whether his family was related to the Okita family.

"But thanks to that kid Yuji, if he hadn't asked people to inquire about Goryokaku and Oni, I would have planned to get the two Star Swords from the police."

Kuroba Toichi smiled and praised Yuuji: "Hiding himself behind, he got the two code papers left by Keisaburo Hatue. It's really surprising."

"I'm afraid the unexpected person is not you. I don't believe that you in Hakodate can't tell." Kudo Yusaku shook his head: "Since you know that he has the code paper in his hand, why don't you go and ask for it directly, but you must wait until he cracks it? Go over after getting the signal.”

According to his idea, what happened in Hakodate has gone far beyond the scope of a detective game. So as the only parent of Kudo and Kuroba's family in the local area, Kuroba Toichi is of course obliged to solve the incident quickly and let these children Get home safely.

"This is training. If you take everything on yourself, your children will never grow up."

As the elder brother, Kuroba Toichi said naturally: "Just like Shinichi-kun, if you had trained enough back then, he might not have become what he is now."

"It was my shortcoming as a father that I didn't correct his reckless character before, but at least when this child was growing up, he still had a father." Kudo Yusaku put the cup on the table and his voice was slightly louder.

"Are you complaining about Kaito, or yourself?"

Kuroba Toichi wiped the coffee on his beard with a handkerchief: "Do you remember the pendant that your father asked me to give you when you first transferred to Tokyo?"

"The one with the five-pointed star..."

"It's the tantrum. He's not very good at saying touching words, but the tantrum and the blade are always a set, and no one can tear them apart."

Kudo Yusaku's hand stroking the handle of the cup paused for a moment, and his tone softened: "Sure enough, you are too, and your touching words are not very good."

"The men in the Kuroba family just can't learn."

"What a coincidence."

Kudo Yusaku stood up from his seat and put down enough money to pay for the three of them.

"This is the strength of Kudo men."

…

[There doesn’t seem to be anything different about this shrine. Why did Dad and Yuji ask me to look for it? 】

Kuroba Kaito, who was wearing his girlfriend's face, faced the shrine in front of the Sanmon Torii and observed the layout inside. Except for one or two policemen who were enforcing security here, everyone else followed Takuzo Hatsue to the blessed place behind the shrine.

The fox-eyed miko they had chatted with before walked up to Kuroba Kaito with a glass of sweet rice wine in her hand. After the girl naturally took the rice wine cup and took a sip, she said in a wicked way: "This is the specialty of our shrine. The witch chews wine."

After spitting out all the rice wine, Kuroba Kaito stared at the miko in disbelief. When he saw the playful expression on her face, he understood that it was a prank and he was relieved.

"Is there any benefit in scaring me?"

He sighed and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Miko, you shouldn't be accompanying Mr. Fu Jiang to worship his elders. Why are you here?"

"I'm not going to accompany that guy. My grandmother is with them."

The miko pouted, which made Kuroba Kaito feel something was wrong. Kudo Yuji told him that the miko at this shrine was a beautiful woman about thirty years old, but the person in front of her looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. .

[Yuji, he probably has something wrong with his eyes, right? 】

After expressing her doubts, the miko suddenly understood.

"The person yesterday was my mother, and she is only thirty. She is obviously already thirty-five years old."

According to the miko, her mother is a local university professor in Hakodate, so she occasionally appears as a miko at home, mainly her and her grandmother.

"With a sad look on her face, oh, mom, she hates pretending to be a witch because this outfit is really troublesome to wear."

"That's right. It's strange. Where is your father?"

"He still has his own job."

She blinked and stared at Kuroba Kaito curiously: "So what did you find? Do you know the secret of the shrine?"

"Huh?!" Kuroba Kaito took a step back in surprise, then became a little cautious and pulled the playing cards in his right hand from his sleeve.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't mean any harm."

The miko lady pointed at the mask on Kuroba Kaito's face: "After all, it's really easy to see your disguise. I can tell at a glance that you are not this girl."

With his eyebrows raised, Kuroba Kaito pinched his chin and stared at her with "you look suspicious".

She squinted her eyes proudly: "I also want to see if anyone can understand the password of the shrine. Oh, it seems that there is no one."

"Hoho, you are really talking nonsense."

He is the world-famous Kaito Thief Kid. Having been aroused by the miko, Kuroba Kaito puts his hands on his hips and suddenly feels that he can learn the secrets of the shrine from her.

The error-free version is being read! First release of this novel.

"How about this, let's have a competition. If I can tell the difference within one day, then..."

"Then I'll answer whatever you ask."

The shrine maiden shook her finger and pointed it at Kuroba Kaito's shoulder: "Instead, you have to take off your disguise and let me see your true face."

"It's a deal."

The shrine maiden pointed at the clock hanging under the eaves of the shrine, and then stretched out her hand in front of Kuroba Kaito.

"Introduce myself, Washi Komiya Touko."

"Kuro... Kudo Tsukuzou."

[It was a close call. I almost said my real name. 】

"So... help me, Kudo A-Dream!"

"You are so lame, Kuroba Kuma!"

Kudo Yuuji slammed the table and glared at Kaito with disgust: "We were just shopping, and you had to call us out to help. Are there such people!"

"That's right, I condemn you." Hattori Heiji snorted, then waved his hands at the girls: "There's nothing we can do. You can go shopping first. We will find you when he is done."

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it." Kaori sighed, then took out the room card from her pocket and threw it in front of Yuuji: "Remember to go back to the hotel at night."

With a large group of people missing around him, Kuroba Kaito suddenly saw the three boys opposite him breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and suddenly realized.

"You three guys are really pretending."

"When you go shopping with a few girls, you will know how much we are suffering." Hattori Heiji waved his hand.

[Hongzi, Aoko, and Hakuba, it's not like I haven't accompanied them shopping before...]

He already thought of Hakuba as a girl, and Kuroba Kaito thought he shouldn't say this out loud, lest the three of them wouldn't help...

"No, it was you who asked me to go!"

Suddenly realizing something, Kuroba Kaito pointed at Yuuji, but saw him spread his hands indifferently.

"It's not me who asked you to pick up girls, and you did it with Aoko's face, Kaito, your rank has risen again."

[And what the hell is taking off the mask, once you see Kaito, you'll be ruined for life? This kid's color harem will not increase by one more...] (End of this chapter)
