Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"The first group will go down the mountain path to the right, and the second group will go left."

Sitting in the car and arranging the search range, Kudo Yuji held the walkie-talkie and called Gojo who was jogging behind.

"Gojo-kun, lead the third team and focus on searching the intersection leading to the hot spring hotel."

Mr. Gojo responded weakly, and then a group of people scattered, searching everywhere according to Kudo Yuji's arrangement, and...

"Remember to avoid couple hotels, and knock on the doors of all other shops to inquire." Kudo Yuuji held up his chin and said, "The reason is that the eldest daughter of the Hakuba family eloped with a brat named Kuroba, so Mr. Hakuba asked us to bring the daughter back."

"learn!"

The crowd responded in unison, and immediately rushed to the shops that had been open to customers not long ago, waking up the residents who had just returned from soaking in the hot springs at Wenquan Mountain.

"You guys, why aren't you sleeping so late? Assholes!"

An old man who looked like the chairman of the neighborhood committee used his cane to hoe the ground, and men from all over the town ran out with their belongings, while women and children hid in their homes. In addition, guests from some small hotels were also attracted by what was happening outside.

"This old man, actually..."

A group of men in black clothes followed Kudo Yuji's instructions and told the excuse of the rich girl falling in love with the poor boy.

"President, this is not going to be easy..."

The middle-aged man standing next to the old man thought that the incident was as ridiculous as a TV drama, but in Japan, where there are old nobles, more Japanese people would rather believe it. So when the middle-aged man looked at the old man, the old man's reaction had already relaxed.

"Just hope that the people from the hot spring street in the next city are not here to cause trouble on purpose."

The president hesitated for a moment and planned to ask people on the street to invite all those wearing black clothes out of the town.

“No matter what you do outside the town, our town has relied on the hot spring mountain and the small ponds that flow into each household for more than a hundred years. If you were allowed to check every household, the guests staying here today would not only not come again, but it would also affect the reputation of the town.” The middle-aged man was holding a wooden-handled brush used to clean the hot spring pool. He pointed at the man in front of the men in black and saw that he was talking to someone through headphones. The middle-aged man swallowed nervously.

These people look strong and sturdy, and they don't seem to be ordinary bodyguards. It's possible that the men in the town can't beat them...

While the middle-aged man pretended to be confident, the bodyguards were also listening to Kudo Yuji's breathing on the other side of the headset, and finally received the order before the old man was about to speak.

"My husband said that we can change all our future travel destinations in Tokyo to Hakodate."

Gojo squeezed through the crowd, muttering to himself that old man Minami Masamune would definitely agree to Kudo Yuji's request, and gestured with his hands.

"With so many people under my command, you probably won't have to think about recruiting customers or reducing profits for the entire next year."

"Then... let's do it."

The town’s annual income was not a small amount. The president finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked each family to bring their sign-in books.

"No matter what, you can't just barge in as you please. If you're assigned by someone, everyone will worry about revenge from the rich, so please compare the names and handwriting to see whose inn the young lady is staying at."

The president pointed to the inn where Maori Kogoro and his friends were staying and said, "But that's another town over there, and I can't say anything."

"It's okay, we're sure the young ladies are still here."

Wucheng ordered his subordinates to search the place, while he found a chair on the side of the road and sat down to rest.
