Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 640: Waiting for Tomorrow

"Leonhardt, you're back!"

The moment Fujiwara, disguised as Leonhardt, and Rena Mizunashi, disguised as Ed, walked into the command room, the other three stared at them, as if they didn't expect that this person was not hurt at all.

"Oh, it seems that Leon-kun is indeed the lucky general of our Ocean Buoy. Not only did he successfully complete the mission and repair the 16th and 17th floors, he also brought Ed back."

Makino smiled friendly, but Fujiwara always felt that this guy's words always revealed a coldness, so he sneered like the Germans, glanced briefly at the three people in the command room, and turned around to walk out.

"Wait! Leon-kun, wait!"

Naomi's call did not stop him. Fearing that he would be exposed, Fujiwara now only wanted to go back to this man's room and never come out again until someone came to exchange surveillance rights.

"Ed, what's wrong with him?"

Grace, who was sitting next to Makino and applying nail polish, stretched out her hand, and when she saw Makino step back a little with some resistance, she put her hand towards Ed.

"I had a big argument down there."

Rena Mizunashi shrugged, and remembered that she was pretending to be a giant licker, so she pretended to be excited and deliberately made her breathing rapid, as if she wanted to grab Grace's hand, while with the other hand she scratched her thigh hard.

"I haven't seen you for a few hours. I missed you so much, Grace."

Naomi was sitting at the bottom of the command room on the stairs. Looking up, she could only notice Ed's body moving. However, Grace, who was standing in front of Rena Mizunashi, and Makino next to her, saw it clearly, and both of their faces were frozen.

Pulling her hand back suddenly, Grace managed a forced smile.

"Director... Director, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm going to go back and rest first."

"Oh, are you okay?"

Makino asked carefully, Grace, the bootlicker, could still help him a lot.

"It's okay!" Grace glanced at Ed with disgust, and after Rena Mizunashi wiped her nose with the hand that had scratched her thigh, she became even colder and left quickly.

"Well then, Ed-kun."

In the blink of an eye, Makino was nearly ten meters away from Mizunashi Rena. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes still smiling: "Can you please tell me what those words were said down there?"

"Those?" Mizunashi Reina yawned, "I just wanted Grace to worry about me, so I just said those random things."

"Oh, next time, don't talk nonsense about such serious matters." Makino's eyes stopped smiling: "Otherwise, Santa Claus won't give you a present."

"Commander, I don't believe in Christ."

"Alright!" Makino clapped his hands. "I think someone from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will be here tomorrow. Let's get some rest tonight and try to finish the job tomorrow."

"Chief, I will stay in the command room today."

Naomi didn't even turn her head, holding her forehead and said, "We can officially start the cross-age search system tomorrow. I want to eliminate some possible hidden dangers before that."

"Calm down." Makino said, with her hands on her hips, "You know you want to find your friend, but she is in America, not in Japan."

"I think that as long as the system I developed is indeed useful, the United States will definitely agree to share its surveillance system with Interpol bases."

"..."

Makino nodded, but it was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed.

"Then I'll go back to bed."
