Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

The boy's focus wasn't on his family. Kudo Yuji watched Sayoko huff at Ono Takuya and then feel bad for herself, only to find the boy turning his head back.

"Alright, now you have to come back to the police headquarters with us. Although your mother was Sasaki Kiyose's mistress, your father is also dead and is your mother's suspect, so you at least have to sign a family agreement."

Kudo Yuji, keeping a watchful eye on him, walked over to Ono Takuya's side and noticed his provocation. He began to wonder what the boy cared about.

According to the students at the school, Takuya Ono was very proud to be the son of Kiyose Sasaki, a major businessman, so he was particularly concerned about anything that might affect his identity.

Just as he had been provoked, Kudo Yuji believed that the point the boy had taken to heart was neither the death at the Sasaki residence nor the fact that his biological father seemed to have killed his mother.

The real point is probably the word "mistress".

The police officers, who had been called in advance, had already arrived in their cars. With Hattori Mamoru's approval, they helped the students into the police cars and separated Ono Takuya from the others.

"How is Ms. Uchitake doing now?"

In the second police car, Okita looked at Hattori Mamoru beside her, hoping that this senior could tell her the actual situation.

"I'm not entirely sure either. According to what that police officer just said, Ms. Uchitake is being investigated at police headquarters, and all the students in her original class are being trained one by one."

Hattori Mamoru comforted Okita, saying, "Regardless of whether the teacher did anything illegal, I will try my best to help her in court."

"Well... Hattori-senpai, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Somewhat hesitantly glancing at the police officer in the driver's seat, Okita assumed he was simply confiding in Hattori, unaware that Hattori's cuffs and collar had long been covered with eavesdropping stickers by a certain abnormal Kudo family.

"Oh, if you don't see the visuals and just listen to the sound, it's easy to misunderstand."

In the third police car, Kudo Yuuji, sitting in the passenger seat, held binoculars in his hand and wore wired headphones, sharing the audio with Hattori Heiji. "That Ono Takuya doesn't care about his mother's life or death, but he has a deep obsession with the relationship between Sasaki Kiyose and Ono. I think this is because of his sense of identity."

Conan's analysis came through the other end of the earphone.

"In other words, although this boy doesn't care about his mother, he values ​​his father a lot." Conan paused for a moment. "That makes sense. Children who lose their fathers at a young age always care more about their fathers' attention."

The way this kid acted in front of his classmates was less about showing off his "young master" status and more about emphasizing that he also had a father and that his father loved him just as much.

"The thoughts of teenagers are so strange..." Conan walked into Ono's classroom, stood on the podium and looked down, pointing out the seats of Ono, Kamisuke and Matsuki in turn.

"How is the investigation into the explosives going?"

This is a question for Hattori Heiji.

"The explosion center was destroyed somewhat excessively, and the gas pipeline tests only showed that the explosive was a relatively...powerful substance, but even so, someone was able to make it."

"It sounds more like Ono made the bomb?"

But that doesn't make sense. If he cared so much about his father, why would he blow him up with his own hands?
"Where's Ms. Uchitake? Didn't we say she was in Xicheng District? Is that her?"

“She’s a pure liberal arts student.” Hattori Heiji looked at the useless guy in the West District.

"The materials for making bombs were expensive, and... the Japanese government monopolized them." (End of Chapter)
