Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Mr. Yoshitake, the car heading to the Tokyo Exhibition Hall is ready."

Standing at the door of Ji Gang's mansion, Imagami and the newlyweds bowed and saluted Mr. Ji Gang and his son as they walked out.

"I'll trouble you tonight."

Ji Gang adjusted the tie around his neck and snorted at Sera Masumi with a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "I already told you, you don't need to go with me."

"Your health is not good, and mother is very worried."

Sera Masumi didn't show any expression, just lowered his head.

In fact, it was because Akai Marie proposed such a banquet in front of several people at home during afternoon tea. Participants would often bring younger members of their families with them in order to communicate. If Yuuji really went alone, it would be easy for everyone to attend. The highlight is that this is far from Yuji’s idea of ​​just dawdling.

And if no one is around to watch, this guy might have a seizure and do something shocking.Considering that Yuzuki and Kaori were not good at acting, and Akai Mari was too young, Yuji had no choice but to reluctantly bring Sera Masumi along with her after a collective vote at home.

"Today, the specific organizer of this banquet is..."

Sitting in the back seat of the bulletproof car, Ji Gang crossed his hands on his legs and calmed down. After the car drove out of the street and onto the road, he asked about the details of the party.

"It is jointly organized by several major consortiums and will not invite experienced parliamentarians."

Jinshang took control of the steering wheel. Although he was a security guard assigned to Ji Gang by the Public Security Bureau, in the final analysis he was just a driver for the new congressman.

[It’s impossible for him to be involved in anything weird, right? 】

"Mr. Ji Gang, don't worry, it's just a normal party. If they have any intentions, I will advise you not to go there in the afternoon."

Nodding, Ji Gang closed his eyes and waited to arrive at the scene.

Far away from the entrance of the Tokyo Exhibition Hall, the road has long been surrounded by media gathered here. However, there are many police officers in suits blocking the entire road, so it is not actually noisy at the entrance of the hall.

"A new car is here."

The public security policemen who were scattered around on guard had sharp eyes and spotted Ji Gang's car from a distance. Some colleagues who were familiar with Imagami recognized it as the car he had received from the government department yesterday, and they all alerted the surroundings of the visitor. identity.

"There's nothing surprising. The people who can get here are all quasi-members with support."

An older policeman blew out the cigarette on the ground and rolled his eyes when he heard the grievances coming from the young policemen.

"If you really work hard to get here, can you find one person in Japan..."

As soon as the car arrived, fully clothed mobile troops stepped forward and roughly pushed aside the media people on both sides to clear the passage for Ji Gang's car.

After parking at the entrance of the Tokyo Exhibition Hall, Yoshigo opened the car door and walked down. He stopped Imagami who was about to park the car in the parking lot. He took the bento prepared by Yuzuki and Kaori from Masumi Sera and put it on the In the hands of this driver.

"This... this is."

Imagami smelled the aroma coming from the lunch box and raised his head to look at Ji Gang who was taking out the folding fan.

"You have been guarding the gate without eating. My wife saw it and insisted on letting me help you cook a dinner for you."

Ji Gang tapped the head of Jin Shang and the new couple with the head of his fan: "Be grateful, kid."

"...Hi!" x2
Watching the father and son enter the exhibition hall, Jin Shang parked the car, carried the lunch box and walked with the newlyweds to the police colleagues who were under martial law just now.

"You are all here too!" We are all the bodyguards of the prospective members. We have met most of them before setting off to the target, so naturally we became familiar with them immediately.

"He actually made you a lunch box. This gentleman's family is really friendly."

A man who looked like he had experienced many years of life pushed his waist, and his envious eyes made everyone understand something, and they all stepped forward to pat his shoulders and offer comfort.

"There are some. Those who are hard to talk to and difficult to serve are really hard." The young man sitting on the roadside rubbed the hair on his head: "The old man here said that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were missing in the UK. , actually planned to let me sneak into MI[-] to find out about them."

"Then you are more miserable..."

.........

After going through the security check at the entrance of the hall, Ji Gang finally entered the hall with Masumi Sera. He casually took the champagne from the waiter's hand, and was snatched away by the girl next to him.

"You can't drink."

Yuji is two years younger than him, so drinking alcohol is not good for your health.

"This is a drink. It doesn't matter if you drink it occasionally." Yuji took the cup from Sera Masumi's hand, put the rim of the cup to her mouth and said, "If you don't believe me, take a sip and it won't taste too strong."

Being fed by Yuji, Sera Masumi's face turned red inexplicably. She quickly opened her mouth and sipped the champagne while the boy tilted the glass.

"Okay, don't worry now, it looks too weird to be here without a drink."

Yuji remembered the name tag given to him when registering his name at the entrance. After hesitating for a while, he saw that the older people around him had their name tags pinned to their chests, so he did the same.

"Why didn't I?"

Sera Masumi lowered her head and looked at her chest. Remembering Yuzuki and Kaori's words during the day, she tried her best to raise her chest, trying to reveal a little bit, but failed unfortunately.

"This name tag will probably only be issued to prospective congressmen to help them understand each other's identities. You are just here to eat and drink, so why would it be issued to you?"

Yuji held the handle of the fan with his right hand, and kept tapping the fan head on the palm of his left hand. He looked around, but suddenly he heard someone calling his pseudonym.

"Mr. Ji Gang!"

The young man calmed down and turned to look in the direction of the shout. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a handsome man and a little ghost-headed servant following him.

"Mr. Ji Gang, you are finally back from abroad."

Karasuma Hajime, who had applied pomade on his head, was also holding a glass of champagne in his hand. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The suit he wore was very simple, but everyone present was very knowledgeable and could tell at a glance the fabric of this suit. The fees and labor costs are enough to buy a brand new house in the suburbs of Tokyo.

"Who is this…"

Karasuma Hajime stared at Sera Masumi behind Yuji in confusion. He looked up and down at the student disguised as a young old man. He turned his head to the side and shook his head to express that he didn't know. Both of them were waiting for Yuji's answer.

"This is my stepson."

Yuji grabbed Sera Masumi's arm with one hand and pulled her to him, and said with a smile: "I married her mother half a year ago and started a new family with my two daughters."

"Yes, my father is under your care."

The young man turned to look at Sera Masumi, only to find that not far away from the four people here, the Taiko celebrity who heard the conversation just now was widening his eyes, and the hand shaking the wine glass stopped, and the whole person fell into confusion. among. (End of chapter)
