Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Mr. Shinjo, please come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Takagi Shigeru handcuffed Shinjo, then waved from behind and asked Miss "Chris", who had returned from the Metropolitan Police Department with him and disguised herself as an ordinary police officer, to take Shinjo into the police car.

As for how to escape from the crowd of police cars behind him, he believed that with Miss Chris's superb racing skills, no one could match her except Officer Sato. And Sato Miwako's attention was now focused on Matsuda Jinpei, and she had no intention of escorting the prisoner back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"In addition to the murder case, there was also a case of intimidation and kidnapping here today."

"As for the intimidation, I think it was Mr. Shinjo who did it."

After the incident, Kudo Shinichi finally dared to say a few words, because he found that Amuro Toru's attention seemed not to be on him at all.

After hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, everyone looked at Mr. Shinjo who had been pushed to the door. When they saw him turn around, they were all waiting for this man to say something.

"It was indeed me who placed the threatening letter."

"Sure enough." Kudo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, because Miss Tomoda was dead. He had guessed it entirely from the relationship between Shinjo and Mochizuki. The old man was willing to make it clear in the end so that everyone would not have to worry and accompany Mr. Mochizuki to find the criminal.

"Because this man, despite having obtained the most beautiful treasure in the world, did not cherish it at all. He even had an affair with this young woman after she passed away..."

"I said I didn't! That woman wouldn't even eat at the same table with me!"

Mr. Mochizuki squeezed out from behind and pointed at Mr. Shinjo and shouted angrily: "Why do you think I have been putting up with you? I have already taken control of the entire company, but I still haven't kicked you out. Don't you really think that woman's pleading before her death can move me?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Murakami and Shinjo's faces suddenly changed, because what Mochizuki said was not only not in the script, but even the notes and additional supplements in the script were not visible.

Adding scenes at the last minute! And adding scenes without any communication is a must for experienced actors, but if you have to perform the scenes in one take, it will be very annoying.

If the three were exposed, it would not be surprising that they would have wild ideas once they went out of the door, because they had told Xincheng in advance that the police escorting him were their own people. Therefore, the old man who was about to evacuate safely hated Wangyue the most at this moment.

"It was all because of Ms. Tomoda. Although she didn't accept my confession, she would call me from time to time to encourage me to work harder."

"What does this have to do with Mr. Shinjo?"

While Inspector Megure was still in a daze, everyone else realized that Mochizuki was about to reveal something big, so they quieted down. Only Yuji, under Takagi's mask, had a very dark face.

He originally thought that the script he wrote was mediocre enough, but after what Mochizuki did, it was now even uglier than the worst soap opera.

"Because of Miss Tomoda." Mr. Mochizuki used the detective finger, and Mr. Shinjo's legs bent down involuntarily: "You are Miss Tomoda's biological father!"

Kudo Yuji's mouth twitched, and he stared at Mr. Shinjo, cheering for him in his heart. [Stand up straight, don't let your legs go weak, Mr. Shinjo, if you get down, my play will be ruined, don't... ah, he knelt down...]

Mr. Xincheng certainly didn't want to kneel down, but he had no choice but to do what every actor would do at this time - the prisoner kneels, to express his current regret and unwillingness.

Whether it is because of lack of skill, the wrong target of murder, killing someone who should not be killed, or the method of committing the crime was exposed by the sleeping Kogoro who solved 100% of the cases in the legend of Beika, using the prisoner's kneeling method can deal with everything.

It is said that in recent TV dramas, even national actors have started to use the prisoner kneeling pose. This is really a heinous crime, Maori-san. You are right, Conan-chan.

"How could... this happen? Could it be that Tomoda..."

"Yes, she is the daughter of you and that woman. Everything goes back to that night eighteen years ago..."

Mr. Mochizuki was unable to finish his story. Just as he reached the evening, Takagi Wataru and another policeman took him into a police car along with Shinjo and Murakami, under the pretext that the story was too long and they should go back and take notes.

"Officer Takagi was unexpectedly decisive today. He usually doesn't have his own opinions."

"He is in such a low position, it must be difficult for him to have his own opinions."

Conan spread his hands and found Kudo Shinichi looking at the staff and customers in surprise as they started to make noise, until the manager rubbed his hands and walked towards Inspector Megure and them.

"Well, teachers, we have finished shooting this scene today, right? Oh, the requirements are really high. They said that it must be done in one take, otherwise they won't pay you or something."

"Finish? Salary? What are you talking about?" Inspector Megure scratched his head.

“…Where’s the director?”

“Where is the director?”

Inspector Megure frowned when he saw a policeman running back in panic, and after hearing a few words, he immediately went out, looking like he had escaped.

"You... don't want to pay, do you?"

The shop assistants and customers gathered around, protecting Kudo Shinichi and his group in the middle, while Conan, Fujiwara and the other two were squeezed together and looked at each other.

"I think I know what the 10 million ransom is for..."
