Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"child?!"

When Naomi saw Rize moving freely, she immediately jumped off the bed. She wanted to sneak to the door, but gave up after hesitation.

After all, the environment they were in now was filled with an unstoppable fishy smell. She was sure that even if she escaped from the room, she would not be able to escape from this vehicle, so it was better not to struggle.

She was sure that these people would not attack her before her value was exhausted, so leaving a good impression on them was the best way for the hostage to stay safe.

"Is what you just said true?"

Rize saw Haibara Ai on the bed on the other side out of the corner of her eye. Although she didn't know why her deskmate was here, she was a little confident that as long as she acted coquettishly to her grandmother, nothing would happen to Haibara Ai.

Rize felt that the most urgent task was to find out what was going on with Mrs. Kudo that the woman was talking about. The two mothers who lived with her father and Miss Akiko were all what she considered to be expectant mothers, but if there was more, it would be too many.

"Really, that file also shows that they were registered at the hotel."

There was a child in front of her, so Naomi tried to control her words.

After hearing this, Rize turned and ran away. Her confused expression scared the men. However, when they learned that this little ancestor was not angry and even asked them to bring some food to the people in the room, the men in black were slightly relieved.

"grandmother!"

The girl returned to Vermouth's temporary room and saw Miss Chris making coffee. She hesitated and said, "That...the woman downstairs said, Daddy's wife..."

"Oh, it smells so good!"

The door of the room was pushed open again. Machiko, with wet hair, was confused when she saw Kurofa Rize lying beside Vermouth and seemed to be acting coquettishly. Chris just put the coffee prepared for him across the table.

"Why...why is this girl here?"

After she had comforted Rena Mizunashi, who was feeling unwell, she heard from the people on the boat that a junior high school boy had carried an elementary school girl back and put her in a detention room under the order of Lady Vermouth, so she hurried to find her mother to inquire about the news.

The door had been locked in advance, and when he saw Vermouth pointing at his disguise, he took off his wig.

"Sit down first and try the coffee I made."

Chris watched as her oldest son picked up the coffee and took a sip. After tasting it, he gave an infuriating comment, "average," and laughed out loud, suppressing her anger.

"It seems that my skills still need more practice."

"Ah."

Yuji nodded and continued to put coffee into his mouth. Suddenly, he heard Vermouth ask, "Do you think my granddaughter is cute?" Yuji hummed casually, suddenly shook his head, and glared at the girl who was hiding behind Vermouth and looking at him timidly.

"Ok?"

[You are not infertile, so where did your granddaughter come from? 】

Yuji suddenly remembered the character of Black Widow, and felt that she was very similar to Vermouth. He began to compare them in his mind. His thoughts could not grasp the main point and kept drifting, and finally fell back to reality.

"Cute, cute." Yuji waved his hands, not caring much about the way Kuroba Rize made the little girl nervous.

"Mom, you asked someone to bring back an elementary school girl? What's going on?"

"It's Haibara-san." The little girl spoke quickly, hoping that her father would look at her more.

"What?" Yuji jumped up from his chair. "Nonsense! How could she get here? It's so dangerous!"

So Mr. Kudo put on his disguise again and ran out again, but he didn't notice that the little girl's mouth had deflated.

"Oh, I didn't even hear that..."

Kuroba Rize listened to her grandmother's complaints and thought of her father's nervousness towards Haibara Ai, and seemed to have thought of something.

"Grandma, Dad and that... Aunt Shiho, have they known each other for a long time?"

"Ok?"

Vermouth was stunned for a moment. She remembered that the news sent back by her subordinates in the United States said that Kudo Yuji, who only had the memory of being six years old, was still very familiar with Miyano Shiho.

"It seems, right."

"really……"

Little Kudo felt that he had deduced the truth. Everyone said that Miss Akiko and Miss Haibara were sisters, but after observing for so many days, he found that his deskmate clearly cared more about her and was not so enthusiastic towards Miss Akiko.

Add to that the inexplicable closeness between Haibara and her father, as well as her father's nervousness just now.

[Graybara-san should be...]

Her biological sister! The biological daughter of Mr. Kudo and Ms. Shiho! (End of this chapter)
