"It's better for you to solve this matter yourself!" After Kogoro pondered for a moment, he said this sentence, which made Conan stunned for a moment.

"After all, you don't want to implicate Xiaolan in such a dangerous thing! Well, so be it! I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll hang up first. That's right! Remember to come back by yourself at night, don't let Xiaolan worry. ”

After saying that, Kogoro hung up the phone directly. "Hey, hey! Uncle! Uncle!? Damn it! Conan saw that the other side had hung up the phone, coupled with the failure of his previous request for help, and immediately dropped the phone angrily.

But then he regretted it, and a terrifying gaze fixed on him. It was the owner of the phone, the old lady who often appeared at the commissary.

After she saw Conan angrily drop the phone, she looked at Conan with very gloomy eyes, obviously this matter could not be good. Sure enough, as Conan expected, after some good talk, he almost lost all his pocket money.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Conan went to Dr. Asasa's house after thinking about it again and again. But when he arrived, he rang the doorbell while shouting, but there was no response for a long time.

Turning his gaze back to the Maori Detective Agency, Kogoro was smiling at the corner of his mouth at this time, and he was still talking to someone on the phone. Talking and laughing with him is the world-famous mystery novelist, Yusaku Kudo.

The two have known each other before, and although the relationship is not too good, it is also familiar. Of course, maybe in the future, they will be more familiar with each other, as in-laws.

What they're talking about now is naturally about Conan. Kudo Shinichi, a proud well-known high school student detective, has become an elementary school student at this time, and there are too many places to laugh.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, that kid is still here." "That's fine, but let's gather some strength! That little ghost is now, but he has a lot of revenge, don't be cheated then. ”

Kogoro said it casually, but he didn't expect it to come true in the end. Although in the end, Conan succeeded in finding their location through the clues left by Yusaku Kudo.

But in the end, he was caught by Yusaku Kudo. The three people who revealed their identities suddenly stunned him, followed by anger and resentment, and at the same time figured out the reason why Kogoro was unwilling to help.

Kogoro is his current food and clothing parents, and he will have more to rely on in the future. As for Dr. Asasa, he still has a lot of things to help him with, and he can't retaliate.

But his parents, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo, are different. Since they have all cheated themselves, then he will take action directly and no longer have scruples, after all, the two of them have been abroad for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the consequences at all.

Therefore, after refusing the two to let him go to the United States and accept the protection of the FBI, he was sent back to the Maori family again by Edogawa Fumiyo, who was disguised by Kudo Yukiko.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiaolan was very surprised to see the two of them come to the office again. Especially after learning that Conan was going to live here for a while.

She didn't understand how Kogoro knew beforehand. But Conan was still very happy to stay, after all, during the time they got along, the relationship between the two was still very good.

For Xiaolan at this time, it was like having a smart younger brother, separating the sorrow of Kudo Shinichi's departure a lot.

"I'm so sorry! Conan, he's been clamoring to stay with you, and I really can't persuade him. And, I think he likes you very much. ”

Hearing what Edogawa Fumiyo said, Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile. "Really? Conan! She walked in front of Conan in a few steps, and was embarrassed in front of Kogoro and his mother, and was held in Xiaolan's arms.

The Kudo couple left, and they were still very happy to be able to play with their son, who had always been proud and arrogant.

But then they couldn't laugh, and as they were about to walk to the airport to discuss where to go, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters.

The two were very puzzled, they had already concealed their whereabouts, and most of the time they were disguised, why they were suddenly discovered and quickly recruited so many reporters.

But then, from the reporter's mouth, they got the answer. It turned out that Conan used a voice changer to inform these reporters as Shinichi Kudo.

The two who learned the reason burst into tears in their hearts. is not only a faint annoyance with Conan's son, but also regret the previous behavior of his son.

Time flies, and it's another weekend. Kogoro is invited to a mountain village to investigate the case, but after he goes, he learns that he was actually asked to find a lost dog.

After angrily turning around and leaving, Kogoro drove back. On the way, Kogoro kept complaining, after all, with his current identity and status, it was simply insulting to ask him to do such a thing.

The sun was sinking and the clouds in the west were shining red. Kogoro drove the car along the winding mountain road, and after a while, at a fork in the road, he encountered a parked car.

There was also a middle-aged man standing next to him, waving at Kogoro and them. After seeing his movements, Kogoro stopped the car and walked over alone.

When he saw Kogoro come out, the man greeted him with a smile. "Hello, can you help take me to the villa above? I had some problems with my car and couldn't drive it. ”

After hearing his request, Kogoro did not hesitate and agreed directly. "No problem!" "That's great, by the way, my name is Horihata Koko." As he spoke, he took out a business card from his bosom and handed it to Kogoro.

After taking the other party's business card, Kogoro took a look at it and knew the identity of the other party. He was the president of Horita Heavy Industries, which was mainly engaged in the manufacture of large machinery.

Although it is not yet up to Kogoro's current level, he still has some status in the business world of the Tokyo area.

Then, Kogoro drove the car and delivered the cultivation of Horita to the villa on the mountain. After getting out of the car, the other party invited Kogoro and the three of them to come.

"Actually, today is the birthday of the contemptible person, if you don't mind, can we just have dinner together?" He looked at Kogoro with a sincere face, although he didn't know Kogoro's identity yet, but he didn't despise him.

Kogoro hesitated for a moment, then agreed. After receiving the answer, Horita Kosaku looked at a middle-aged man who hurriedly ran to him.

"Yamauchi, my car broke down and stopped halfway up the mountain, and these guys sent me back. You wait and get the car back, and the few of them are going to stay for dinner. ”
