Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"It's Miss Chris! And Yuuji and Mr. Fujiwara, Ai is here too!"

The situation on Hachijo Island has calmed down completely. On the beach in front of the Kita Hotel, the Kudo family, the Suzuki family, the three little ones, and the Yoshioka family are all craning their necks to look out to sea.

After receiving the call, a group of people rushed here without stopping. In order to make things right, Suzuki Yuko, who was disguised as Kudo Yuji, had to drive a small boat of the same model as the boat out to sea. She has just returned and restored her identity as Yuko to share what she saw with a few people.

"I used my family's submarine to play right after my wedding and saw something really interesting."

Yuko put her hands on her hips and said to Suzuki Jirokichi with a look of disappointment: "There was a big black submarine that was sunk by a fish bomb from the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It was obviously a military submarine."

"Then you're standing too close? What if the other party misunderstands and shoots you?" Mingzi reminded her: "Stay away next time. There's nothing to see in this kind of excitement."

"It's okay. Anyway, our submarine is using the Suzuki family's special signal, and the other side will know it as soon as they hear it."

Yuko waved her hand and found that the boat had stopped on the beach, so she ran over with a group of people.

"It's not good to have too many people at home."

After jumping off the boat, Yuuji looked at the two girls standing on the deck and hugged them with one hand. The Kudo family on the opposite side was at the front of the group, all running over with excitement, but the first ones were not Yuzuki and Kaori.

"Why is Dad laughing so weirdly?"

Yuuji saw Kudo Yusaku, put the girls down, hesitated for a second, and also opened his arms and walked forward.

“So excited…”

"Go away!"

The boy was pushed aside mercilessly, and the eldest of the Kudo family directly passed his son and rushed to the little loli next to Haibara Ai, took out a fruit-flavored candy from his pocket, and presented it to Rize like a treasure.

Behind the girls, Vermouth looked at the man with a twitching face, feeling a little disgusted with her best friend's husband.

"Dad, I want some candy."

[Your daughter doesn’t even have the last name Kudo, and you still have the nerve to ask for candy? ]

Yuuji stretched out his hand towards Kudo Yusaku, but his claws were quickly beaten back. He had no choice but to turn his head helplessly to look at Yuzuki and Kaori who were staring at him.

[It’s confirmed. Dad must have known about it.]

The boy scratched his ear. He had just guessed it, it didn't make sense.

"This candy has bad ingredients, don't eat it."

"That's right, let's just eat what we brought. Grandpa at home bought a coffee and sugar factory, and we eat all of it at home."

While he was thinking, Yuzuki and Kaori had already come to Rize's side, and asked Kudo Yusaku to stay away. Squinting his eyes, the boy had a guess.

[What the hell? I was the last one to know? ]

"Sister Mingzi, aren't you going over there?"

"Ok?"

Akiko's silly expression made Yuji realize that this sister probably didn't know.

"Yeah, it's Yuzuki and Kaori..."

"You're suddenly very nice to that girl, right?" Akiko suddenly got excited: "Just like what Ai did before, right? It's so weird."

The older sister sighed and said, "But it's pitiful that this child is forced to go with his uncle to give money. You should stop being so willful. It's not good to be jealous of a child."

"When Ai ignored you before, you looked like you had lost all hope in life."

Yuji suddenly felt a pinch on his waist, and he squeaked, staring at Mingzi and asked, "You said you were sending money, what's going on?"

"Oh! That's it! ..."

Akiko told Yuji what happened and gave him a general idea of ​​the situation. Yuji was silent when he learned that his family suddenly lost billions of dollars.

"Those guys..."

"I got on the fishing boat, and I don't know why it suddenly exploded." Akiko secretly shifted her gaze. It was obvious that she had just realized who was blackmailing the Kudo family, and was trying her best to avoid making eye contact with the other person.

"Uncle didn't remind those people either. I was really surprised." "That's strange. Who said dad would definitely remind them?"

Yuji counted on his fingers: "Mom violates traffic rules every day in the United States. She speeds whenever she gets on the road. Dad is so good at writing about killing people in his novels. Many overseas readers say that he must be an extraordinary person, let alone me."

Except for the one who was hit on the head, it seems that no one in this family is normal.

"Shinichi is the only one who abides by the law?!" Yuji blinked and found that Akiko was looking at him with a complicated look, so he coughed and said, "Maybe there are relatives in our family. Relatives can also be normal people who abide by the law."

"Hey, kid, what are you talking about in front of a former detective like me?" Maori Kogoro patted Yuji's head and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Don't think too much. I've known your family for so many years, and your father doesn't have any brothers..."

Kudo Yusaku, who was listening to the two people teasing him, looked at them with sidelong eyes, and only turned his head away when Yuuji and Maori Kogoro were laughing so hard that they felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Kogoro, the money given out today is Shinichi's share."

"what!"

The uncle's eyes widened, he first looked at Yuji, then turned to Kudo Yusaku: "No, aren't you going too far?"

They are all sons, there is no reason to give them all to Yuuji.

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Kudo Yusaku adjusted his glasses, making the second brother feel guilty.

"I'm not planning on giving it to Yuji. I might as well say I won't give these two guys a dime."

"Uh... Shinichi..."

"It's just a son. I'll give it to you." Kudo Yusaku looked at the surprised Maori Kogoro and said, "My money will be given to anyone who gives birth to a child with the last name Kudo. If there's none, I'll give it to San San-chan."

"…There's no need to be so hasty."

[Look how embarrassed Xiaolan is, her face has turned purple. ]

Yuji whistled, pretending not to hear what the two old men were saying.

The Yoshioka family has returned to the Kita Hotel. Vermouth and Rize also went back together surrounded by a group of girls. Only three people were left on the beach. When they found that Kudo Yusaku wanted to talk to Yuuji alone, Mouri Kogoro simply went back as well.

"Dad, you already know everything..."

Yuji rubbed his hands together, and when his father looked over, he immediately stood at attention and defended himself: "I really don't know what's going on."

"Okay, no need to tell me, I can probably guess it."

Kudo Yusaku rolled his eyes at Yuji and flicked the boy on the head: "You are such a loser, why don't you have the last name Kudo!"

"It's not my name..." Yuji muttered, "Who knows why Miss Chris gave her the surname Kuroba."

“……” Kudo Yusaku’s gaze drifted over.

"You're saying that Shinichi is the only one in our family who abides by the law?"

"I'm just kidding. These are just minor fights in our family." Yuji raised the corner of his mouth and slapped his head hard.

"It's much better than the Kaito family. Each one of them is worth more than the other. No one in his family obeys the law!"

"Well said, don't say it next time." Kudo Yusaku's glasses lit up.

"Be a polite person and don't be sarcastic."

The old father turned and walked towards the hotel, and suddenly stopped when he passed his son.

"You know what, Yuuji. A father and a dad are different. A father only needs a little bit of genes, but a dad needs a lifetime of love."

"I'll try my best." Yuji nodded seriously, and his attitude satisfied his old father.

"By the way, the next child's last name is Kudo, right?"

"I'll go back and discuss it. It'll be fine once it's approved."
