Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

What were these three people doing? Did they send Mr. Amuro away in advance just to stare at the bunny girl like a wolf?
On the sofa in the other corner, Fumiaki, wrapped in a windbreaker and hood, looked at Matsuda Jinpei and the other two with a puzzled look, especially Kanemoto Hikaru who was between the two adults.

No, no, no, that's definitely not the case. There must be something he didn't notice. That's right! The most beautiful one must be the organization's insider!
Feng Jian suddenly realized and pinched his face in annoyance. He couldn't even figure out such a simple thing at once, how could he help Mr. Zero?

【Looking closely, it seems that he is not very old. 】

"can I help you?"

The bunny girl who was called by Kazami came over with a plate and found that there was no girl chatting with the man, so she immediately told him how to order.

"In other words, only when you order a certain amount can you invite the corresponding girl to chat?" Feng Jian frowned: "What if two people want to invite the same girl?"

"Our store is a legitimate one, not one of those vulgar businesses."

The woman emphasized, “Even though they’re wearing bunny girl costumes, it’s actually no different from a maid cafe.”

Simply put, employees can also choose the service objects.

[No, no, no, that's far from it. The level of social death of people who come to this store is completely different from that of people who go to a maid cafe.]

"I wonder how much that person needs to order?" Kazami pointed at the girl who was already talking to Fujiwara and the other two, but he noticed that the woman in front of him twitched her face and immediately felt something was wrong.

[I am a man who looks thirty years old. If I point at a girl who looks like a high school student and ask her to chat with me, I must be looked down upon...]

"That person just depends on his mood. As for you, sir... it's a bit difficult..."

Is this a subtle way of telling him not to be wishful thinking? But those three people are much more abstract than him.

"Sir, could you please order quickly? To be honest, that little brother is quite cute. I want to go over and take a look, too."

...Is he disliked?
"Okay, then please give me a bottle of...Scotch whiskey." Kazami picked up the menu: "One serving of octopus salad, one serving of Chinese fried rice, a tempura set meal, and a yakitori set meal."

"Would you like some Japanese stew? It's still about 10,000 yen away from the normal invitation." Looking at the hesitant man, the girl looked around and whispered to Kazami's ear: "If you come here just to eat, it will be very suspicious."

"Hmm!" Feng Jian suddenly looked unhappy, and quickly ordered a bunch of food without paying attention to the price, and then asked in a low voice: "Why did you say that?"

Did he reveal something, or is there an undercover agent in Public Security Team Zero? What kind of environment is Mr. Amuro in now? Otherwise...

"My boss said that if you see someone being sneaky and not willing to spend money, just say this, and nine times out of ten they will be willing to spend money again."

"…hehe"

People really laugh when they are speechless. Is the dog talking about him? He just covered his face and wore a windbreaker. What's suspicious about that?

"When did your boss say that?"

"Today." Just after Kazami handed over his credit card helplessly, Fujiwara and the other two next to him finally waited for Amuro Toru to come in after counting the shops. Looking at the three people chatting enthusiastically with the bunny girls, the public security police's expression management rarely failed.

[I feel like I’m getting angry when I see the three of them…]

He could only attribute this to the police's natural aversion to suspicious people.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Hagiwara" whispered and pulled Toru Amuro to sit between the three of them: "I have been observing this store for a long time and found a very suspicious person."

"who is it?"

Toru Amuro followed the direction of the three people's fingers and saw a confused policeman surrounded by four bunny girls holding fire-free party fireworks.

"Snapped!"

The brim of Kazami's hat was covered with colorful ribbons, and the four bunny girls sat down beside him. Then the other girls who were still walking around in the store stopped and applauded enthusiastically.

"This gentleman is the first person to spend 100,000 yen in our store today, everyone!"

"Thank you for coming!"

The girls all said in unison, not caring at all that Mr. Koan, who had eight hands on his shoulders, had already put his head under the table after noticing Toru Amuro's surprised gaze.

"...What's so...suspicious about him? He's just...a pervert." Fujiwara felt a little sorry for Zero's subordinate and defended him: "He can't be...a kidnapper."

"That's right. Mr. Matsuda and I have the same opinion." Amuro Toru laughed.

"Fuck!"

The harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard outside the store. Except for Toru Amuro, the other three knew that Sato Miwako and Mao Li Ran had arrived, so they asked Kanemoto Hikaru to go to the door to bring them over.

"Logically speaking, when the kidnapper sees the three of you, he should take the next step regardless of whether he sees the money or not." Amuro Toru asked tentatively: "I forgot to ask you at the crime scene before. The doors and windows of that house did not show any signs of damage, which means that the kidnapped person is familiar with the kidnapper."

In fact, he wanted to ask, but that would be too strange. How could a trainee detective who does cleaning work have such sharp reaction ability? It would be more reasonable to think about it afterwards.

"We have discussed this with Ms. Mori at the office." Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Amuro Toru and repeated what the others had said.

"A cleaning lady with blonde hair who loves to cook..." Toru Amuro's usual smile froze. He wondered why these people had such strange expressions when he showed up at the Mori Detective Agency.

He did it on purpose, putting their names above his head and describing the kidnapper as him, just to tell him that these people and the guys behind them knew that Amuro Toru was related to those four people, but it was just a trick. It was just a test, but if he took action against these people, it would be confirmed that Amuro Toru had problems.

Is there really a person named Kudo Yuji? This is increasingly looking like a trap set against him. Is it Vermouth or Rum? (End of this chapter)
