Chapter 152: Kaoru vs Yusaku

On Friday, the dull day passed quickly, and sure enough, Kudo's aura of death didn't completely envelop the Junior Detectives, at least nothing strange happened today. After yesterday's case, the three children seem to have a better relationship with me, whether it is in class or after class, they can always find endless topics, but I am not interested in video games or anything, Kamen Superman or anything. After all, I didn't have the same childhood as theirs, and although I knew such a thing, when it came to the details, I didn't know anything about it, but as a qualified listener, I didn't disappoint them. In this way, the two of them, Yuan Tai and Mitsuhiko, will be named by the teacher in every class, and they are not allowed to talk in class. But compared to the chat with me, they don't think there's anything wrong with doing so. It's a child, after all.

At the end of the day, the three children naturally had to go home with me. Talking and laughing along the way really made me feel the joy that I didn't experience in my childhood. If it weren't for my experience in my past life and this life, perhaps, it would be a good choice to become an ordinary child and go through this life step by step. However, being a human being in two lives is destined to make my life not ordinary. I'm not going to try to change it. After all, in this life, I met the right person at the right time, and that was enough.

Airplanes...... Airplanes...... Airplanes......

Just as we were around the corner, behind me, a motorcycle slowly approached, and a small shout was heard.

"Kaoru!

Go back. I saw it on the motorcycle. A man wearing a hard hat and goggles, and a woman with the same helmet and goggles behind him, was in the middle of the two people. A small hand was waving at me.

"Conan?Uncle Yusaku?!There's Sister Kiko!" My eyes became more and more surprised as I looked at the visitor. I knew that Conan would be back tonight, but I didn't expect that Uncle Yusaku and Sister Yukiko would also come.

"Kaoru, you just got out of class...... Whoa!" The motorcycle stopped beside me and the children, and just came to a halt, before Conan finished speaking. Behind him, Yukiko hurriedly threw him off and jumped out of the car.

"Kaoru-chan~~"

"Sister Yukiko~~" Completely ignoring whether Conan fell off the motorcycle, I directly stretched out my hands. was picked up by Yukiko.

"Heh, hehe...... I knew it was going to be like this. Conan was saved from falling from the car by grabbing his father's clothes. Looking at the intimacy of his mother and Kaoru. Conan also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and a touch of unbearable meaning and a little bit of warmth also rushed straight into his eyes. After all. It's been ten years.

"Sister Yukiko, I miss you so much......" I kept babbling in Yukiko's arms.

"Well, Kaoru-chan~ Sister misses you so much. Kiko kissed me on the cheek.

"Now, Conan, what's going on?" the three children around us seemed puzzled by the situation. It seems that I've known Kaoru for more than a week, and Kaoru gives them the impression of being a very stable and self-minded person, but now it's in front of them. It's like a little child who is spoiled by an adult.。 They can't help but be surprised.

"Uh...... Kaoru and this aunt haven't seen each other for a long time, that's why there is such a scene. ”

"Who is this aunt?" asked Motota.

"It's the mother of Shinichi Kudo's brother. ”

"Hey. It turns out that Kaoru and Kudo's brother also know each other. Mitsuhiko was curious.

"Huh? Kaoru is a relative of the doctor's family, and she has met that aunt a few times. Conan thought for a moment and replied.

"Hey...... I didn't expect Kaoru to have such a side. Ayumi blushed. "Then let's get out of here. Don't disturb their reunion. See you next Monday. Conan. With that, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko and Motota left lightly.

"Ah, see you next Monday. Looking at the backs of the three children leaving, Conan smiled with relief. "I always feel that I haven't seen each other for two days, and these three children have matured a little bit in the company of Kaoru. ”

“...... Xiaoxin. Conan's thoughts were interrupted by Arikiko beside him.

"Huh, what?"

"Did the kids leave?" asked Yukiko, who was holding me in a squatting position, suddenly restrained her smile and asked a little nervously.

"Hmm. Gone, what's the ...... Hey, don't cry. ”

"Woo woo woo a!!a Yukiko burst into tears, and the good squatting posture she had just maintained suddenly knelt on the ground, and she cried loudly with me in her arms. "Kaoru-chan...... It's really Kaoru-chan. Woooooooooo

"Okay, okay, there's Sister Kiko, I'm not here. I hurriedly wrapped my arms around Yukiko's neck and kissed her on the cheek. "Kaoru has already returned, and she will not leave in the future. ”

"But, but...... People can't help it......" said, Yukiko's voice increased a lot again.

"So...... This is the real emotion of the two of you now, you were both acting just now?" Conan looked at us with wide eyes. Okay, what about the coquettish just now? Why did the roles of the two people switch instantly.

"Theoretically, your mother couldn't hold back her emotions since she first saw Kaoru, but Kaoru had those children around her, otherwise she would have rushed up and cried. Yusaku, who was sitting on a motorcycle, took off his goggles and hard hat, and looked at his wife holding Kaoru and crying. Yusaku's face showed a little relief.

"Uh...... is really worthy of being a movie star. Conan's eyes narrowed.

"I hate it, Xiaoxin, Yousaku! Everyone is like this, and you still bully others. Yukiko wiped the tears from her face and lied to her husband and son. "It's been a long time since I've seen Kaoru. “

"Okay, okay, I got it. Yusaku smiled. Then he looked at me again. "Kaoru-chan, welcome back. We've heard Xiaoxin talk about you. ”

"Hmm. Uncle Yusaku hasn't seen you for a long time. I looked at Yusaku with the same smile. "I know, you have a lot to say to me in a moment, right?"

"Well, Xiaoxin. Yusaku nodded. Look at Conan again. "You're going back to the Maori detective agency first. Your mother and I still have a lot to say to Kaoru. ”

“...... I know. Conan gave his father a solemn look. Then he walked in the direction of the Maori Detective Agency.

"Okay, let's get in the car, let's go have dinner and catch up with Kaoru by the way. Yusaku smiled and threw the helmet to Yukiko again, and Yukiko took me in her arms and got on Yusaku's motorcycle again, and the three of them went all the way to Kudo's house.

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

"......Whew" a few hours later. Conan, who had already returned to the office, lay down on the bed and let out a long breath.

Around five o'clock in the evening. Conan returned to the office and lied to Ran for me, saying that he met Kaoru on his way back, and Aunt Yukiko thought Kaoru was so cute. So they forcibly took him away for dinner, and he didn't come back until very late. At the same time, Conan also learned about the weekend from Xiaolan's mouth. Conan also felt that something was wrong with Xiaolan's sudden desire to go to Izu, but in the face of Xiaolan's fist that almost smashed the table, Conan instantly gave in.

"Alas...... I don't know what my parents told Kaoru that they haven't come back for so long. "It's close to nine o'clock in the evening. But Kaoru hasn't come back yet. This can't help but make Conan a little worried about his conversation with his father, what kind of temper his own father is, Conan knows too well, but it's the same. Kaoru's temper isn't that good either. Especially his decisive and incomprehensible character, he was really afraid that Kaoru would quarrel with his father. But as it turned out, this moment. Conan thought too much. Because my thoughts haven't been cleared up yet. He heard the sound of Kaoru greeting Xiaolan downstairs when he returned, and not long after, he saw Kaoru open the door and appear in front of his eyes.

"I'm back. Conan greeted.

"Ahh I responded. "You went to bed so early today. ”

"Well, there happened to be a murder in the place where I followed my mother. It's quite complicated, so I'm a little tired. Conan said calmly. "What did you tell them?"

"Uh...... It's really straight to the point. I shook my head and smiled bitterly. "Didn't say anything. It's just a conversation about family life. Well, your mother's cooking is still so good. ”

"Hey, hey......" Conan's half-moon eyes. "Let's talk about the point, I don't believe that my father has been talking to you for so long, just to catch up with you. ”

"Actually, it's nothing. Looking at Conan's concerned look, I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders. "It's just about the future. ”

"What's next?"

"Hmm. ”......

About two hours ago. After eating a beautiful meal prepared by Kiko at Kudo's house, I finally got to the point.

"Kaoru-chan, there's something I want to ask you. After a full meal, at the table, Yusaku Kudo finally spoke.

"Well, I know Uncle Yusaku, I know what you want to ask. I also put away the way I laughed with Yukiko. With a slightly stern sù, he looked at Yusaku Kudo.

"So, in that case, what about the answer you gave me?" Yusaku said earnestly.

"I don't know a lot about that organization. I spoke. "Indeed, in ten years, I have had the supreme power in that organization. But it was only a few days, and after that I escaped, and unexpectedly became like this. There's really not much I can give you and the FBI. At most, I can tell you two about the location of the US base, but this is still a few years ago. ”

"How do you know I'm in a relationship with the FBI?" Yusaku looked at me with a frown.

"Uncle, don't underestimate the ability of a killer. I also have my own intelligence system. I looked at Yusaku calmly. "The fact that you can confidently let Kudo investigate that organization on his own proves that you must be completely sure that Kudo will be able to investigate this organization while keeping him safe. And you've lived in Los Angeles for a long time. The only convenient way to protect Kudo from such a distance is the FBI in the United States, except that you have contact with the Japanese police community. ”

"Hmm...... Judging from your analysis, I can conclude that in addition to the two code names of the organization and the Ice Demon, you should also have an independent and own intelligence network in the outside world, right?"

"The code name is indeed me, I admit it. But the Ice Demon, the origin of the name is known only to the people inside. The outside world won't know at all, Uncle Yusaku, who sued you with this name?"

"This has nothing to do with you, Kaoru, I just want to know more about you, so that I can help you and Xiaoxin more favorably. Yusaku's eyebrows showed a little solemnity.

"No, it's actually very important, Uncle Yusaku. I looked at Yusaku Kudo sternly. "I just want to ask, is there anyone in the FBI who knows that he is still alive?"

"......" Yusaku didn't speak, just looked at me intently.

"Uncle, this is a lot of lives, if the information about being alive is exposed. It's not just me who is in danger, even Kudo, you, and even my family will be implicated, and in the same way, the reason why the FBI has not used absolute force to deter that organization is because the organization is too large, and if it weren't for the fact that the development direction of the organization is not military, maybe even the FBI would have been eaten up by them now. ”

“...... You're right. Looking at my somewhat sharp eyes, Yusaku Kudo agreed with his eyes closed. "Indeed, if the FBI knows that you are, then once this news is exposed, we will all be in danger. I also know that the people in the FBI will also have undercover deposits, so the news that you are alive, from the moment I learned about it in Yukiko's mouth, I told her that the news must be sealed to death, and I also found someone to make a special elimination record of that phone call, and there was no record of the matter about you in the FBI in the United States. At this point, Yusaku showed a helpless smile. "And then again, even if I wanted to tell Sùfbi the news, I wouldn't do any good, but it would only make Yukiko unhappy. ”

"Hee-hee, so, don't worry, Kaoru, your affairs, Yusaku and I will keep it absolutely confidential. With that, Yukiko picked me up again, rubbing her moon-like cheeks against my face.

"Well, thank you for having Kiko-san, thank you, Uncle Yusaku. ”

"But, Kaoru-chan, can I know more about you?" Yusaku asked me.

"I don't really have much to do with it, except for the things in the organization. I responded. "The Ice Demon is dead, and there is no more zài. But as a reward for keeping my secret, I can tell you that the Ice Demon is indeed me. I also know that the person who told you the news should be an undercover agent from the US base, codenamed Rye, the star of rye whiskey, that is, the special investigator of the US FBI, Akai Shuichi, right?"

"What?!" (To be continued)
