Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Your luggage is fine and can be passed."

During the security check before boarding the island, after everyone's belongings had been inspected, Kudo Yusaku and Mori Kogoro wrote down their names in the registration book at the island entrance.

"Hi, it's indeed Mr. Kudo and Mr. Mori."

A staff member nodded and bowed, then while sorting out the number of people, he took out the corresponding number of bracelets from the drawer behind him and distributed them to everyone one by one.

"There are 5,000 yen in this bracelet. It was topped up in advance by the Karasuma Group and the Suzuki Group. You can spend it on the island."

The staff member paused and reminded, "All services in the hotel and the recreational facilities on the island are open to everyone free of charge. You can take the island tram to play on the island. I wish you all a happy three days."

Pulling the luggage from the island entrance, the three kids shook their wrists repeatedly, unable to understand what the man had just said.

"Since everything is free, then what are the 5,000 yen for?" Ayumi turned to look at Conan who was limping, and everyone could see the worry in her eyes.

"Well, didn't the waiter just say that there is a tram on the island?" Conan was being pulled by Xiaolan, and walking was still a little difficult for him, so he explained while making a hissing sound.

"But it's such a big island, even if you take the train it will take half a day. If you want to explore the whole island in three days, you probably have to rent a car."

"There are many souvenir shops on the island, as well as some ordinary shops that can be found outside." Yuko, who was wearing Yuji's face, recalled the layout of the island she had seen: "In the southeast of the island, there is a commercial pedestrian street where you can shop."

The people queuing for walking finally dispersed a little, and the first thing that came into everyone's sight was a row of brand new white buses. There was a number corresponding to the wristband on the side of each bus.

Fortunately, the staff was reliable enough and did not separate the whole family. Everyone's number was s— or something, so there was no need to separate in the middle.

"Put your luggage downstairs, and the children go up and sit down first."

Yusaku Kudo and Kogoro Mori asked the children who were pulling suitcases to bring them over. After gathering all the suitcases together, they nodded to the porters who came over and watched them put their suitcases under the car before getting on.

"Ah! It's the big sister from the police department!"

The three little ones looked back and found that the people sitting behind them were all police officers from the Police Bureau. Among them, Nobuno Mita, Kazuka Nogami and Yuki Amami were all wearing the uniforms of the police station, while the ordinary police officers in the back were only wearing suits.

"It's you."

Nobuno Mita is most familiar with the children. As the person in charge of road closures in various activities of the police department, she always meets the children of Teitan Elementary School on the scene.

"Are your sisters coming to the wedding too?"

"Police officers also need to rest." Mita Nobuno glanced at Conan who was standing in front of his seat, still curious about why this boy was so well-behaved today.

"And there are police officers staying in Tokyo now, so we don't have to worry at all."

The car started slowly. Not to mention Conan, who hesitated and screamed because of the recoil, causing his butt to fall on the seat. The attendant now began to explain the specific situation on the island.

"There are four main hotels on the island, located in the east, south, west and north. They are named after the first letters of the English alphabet. The one we are going to now is the South Hotel."

The flight attendant held up the microphone, looked at the West Hotel just passed by, and said with a smile: "The entrance to the island is on the west side. Although it is close, the South Hotel is the best."

"Why is this?"

Curious, Li Ze opened his mouth, but unfortunately he was sitting quite back and the flight attendant didn't hear him.

"Because the West Hotel is close to the island entrance, it's quite noisy with people coming and going." Yuko looked at Rize in Minami Kaori's arms, stretched out her hand to signal her to give the child to her, and then hugged the sweet and soft little Loli tightly, but didn't notice the girl's nervousness. "According to the ocean current route here, the North Hotel is a little further north where the waves hit, and it should be very noisy there. The East Hotel is too far away, and it's inconvenient to go anywhere, so the South Hotel is the best."

Yuko rubbed the girl's head, took out the invitation, opened it and showed it to her, pointing to the address on it: "The wedding will be held in the central exhibition hall of Hachijo Island. The Suzuki Foundation originally planned to use it as a museum, but it was loaned to the vice minister and his family for their wedding first."

"So strong."

Mita Nobuno looked at Yuko in surprise: "Mr. Kudo is amazing. He knows so much even though he just landed on the island."

"Fool, have you forgotten that the consultant of the Suzuki Group is eager to marry his daughter to him?"

Nogami Kazuka, who was sitting on the side, twitched her lips: "Besides, both teams' newcomers have a good relationship with him. I guess Mr. Suzuki will be eager to tell him without him asking."

"That's right."

After a moment's pause, Nobuno Mita and his companions noticed that they were almost reaching the exhibition hall in the middle, so they raised their hands to signal the driver to pull over.

"Well, we have something else to do, so let's separate here."

A group of people from the police department, led by Nogami Kazuka, got off the bus one after another, watched it go away, and then walked east.

“There is no motorable road on the island that goes directly from the island entrance to the North Hotel and the South Hotel.”

The attendant noticed that the passengers on the bus were wondering why they could see the exhibition hall in the center of the island from here, and hurriedly explained: "This is because the northwest and southwest areas of the entire island are used as oceanariums and amusement parks. If a large road is to be added, these attractions will inevitably be divided."

"Understandable."

Yusaku Kudo recalled the large amusement park that he and his son had an indissoluble bond with: "The design of Dorobiga Land was a bit bad because a main road in Tokyo could not be demolished, resulting in an area that was independent of the main park. It could only be connected by river projects and viewing facilities."

"So that area is the least popular." The flight attendant agreed with a smile: "If the park was not under the sole management of the Suzuki Group, this situation would never have happened. What a waste."

"Haha." Maori Kogoro sat next to Kudo Yusaku, with a look of insight: "That is the most central theme park in Tokyo, how can we allow the Suzuki Group to monopolize it?"

"So the Suzuki Group is now planning to gradually shift its focus to Hachijo Island."

The flight attendant noticed that Kogoro Mouri's eyes looked at him sharply, and although Yusaku Kudo's movements did not change, his half-open eyes now had a spirit.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm just an ordinary employee of the Suzuki Group."

"Ordinary employees wouldn't know so much, but even if they did, they wouldn't be able to say it out loud like that, right?"

Kogoro Mouri patted Yusaku Kudo's leg, motioning him to sit up a little to give himself some space to jump up.

"Of course, it's because you are all very important to the Suzuki Group, and Mr. Jirokichi asked me to protect you."

The flight attendant put his hand under his chin and tore off a layer of the mask with force.

"You are!"

"Master?" (End of Chapter)
