Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"It's the first time I've seen a test like this, with reagents dripping through glass."

Standing next to the mushroom head, Yuji squinted his eyes and found that the man tilted the glass and stuck it in the hole, isolating it from the jewel crown, and then dripped several drops of reagent from top to bottom in order.

The liquid flowed across the surface of the glass, layer after layer. After several reagents were added, he took out an ultraviolet lamp from his pocket and shone it directly on the gems inlaid on the crown.

"The reason why this gem is named the Sea Witch's Splash is because under the sun's ultraviolet rays, it will appear as a gradient of blue and white when viewed from a certain angle. With these reagents, I can make sure that the entire gem is in the best condition for observation."

"So that's it."

Yuji pinched his chin and walked past the man, and he gave up the idea of ​​the crown. He originally wanted to take advantage of Kidd stealing the gems and then make a shining appearance, but it looked like an ordinary gem, so he had no interest in it.

Taking out a piece of black velvet from the toolbox, the man took the glass out of the hole and wiped it slowly. After completing the inspection and putting away the props, he stood with the old lady carrying the toolbox.

"There's still half an hour until Kidd's appointment starts, Xiaolan, why don't we go get something to eat first."

Suzuki Sonoko's proposal was approved by Mouri Ran, so she also called Conan and Kudo Shinichi and others, and everyone climbed out again along the passage.

"I just feel strange now, why Kidd chose nine o'clock in the morning instead of nine o'clock in the evening this time."

Walking in the corridor of the building, I held a small meeting with Professor Agasa and Kudo, and looked at the bright commercial district through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

"Maybe it's because we agreed to meet tonight, and nine o'clock in the evening is too late."

There were almost no people dining in the restaurant. The four people wearing aprons first made a "tsk" sound when they saw a figure appear at the door, and then they put on their sour faces after they saw that it was Mao Li Ran and others.

"It seems like you four don't welcome us very much."

Seeing that his younger brother was not going to speak, Conan teased Matsuda Jinpei, but was blocked in the mouth by a sandwich.

"If a group of people came to eat together, we really wouldn't be like this. Who asked them to come one by one?" Jin Yuanguang held up his face, his cat eyes looking a little sleepy.

"Mr. Suzuki agreed with us that the payment would be based on the number of meals ordered. If it was based on the time, we would definitely not complain." The curly-haired detective snatched a sandwich from Conan's plate and put it into his mouth while Conan was shocked.

“Is this the evil capitalist?”

Matsuda Jinpei's complaint made Suzuki Sonoko stick out her tongue at him, and then she was immediately tapped on the forehead by Mouri Ran.

"I feel like the Sonoko in this world is... weird." Yuji leaned close to Conan's ear: "And why are you laughing so..."

"Because I was bored last night and chatted with Xiaolan, and I got some information." Conan gave a thumbs up to Kudo Shinichi who was looking at him, showing his white teeth.

"what?"

"In this world, there doesn't seem to be Kyogoku Makoto..." "I see." Yuuji suddenly realized: "Is this Sonoko? As expected, Kudo Shinichi's love rival is also a must-see."

"Ahem, may I ask who you are..."

A familiar voice sounded beside Yuji, and Toru Amuro interrupted the girl. He started paying attention to her as soon as this group of people came in. Most of the time, the attention of Matsuda and the other two was focused on this person.

"Furiya Rei."

"Cough cough!"

Yuuji's answer made Matsuda and the other two who were drinking tea nearby choke, while Amuro Toru opened his eyes slightly and stared at the girl.

"Oh, this name is quite strange."

"Really? Rei's name should be very common." Yuji smiled back: "But if it's the number zero, it's more special."

"Oh." Matsuda Jinpei's big hand suddenly covered Yuji's head, and he smiled with some gloating: "If you have a brother, it would be nice to call him Zero. It would be awkward if he is not called by this name. Right, Fujiwara!"

The bandaged man glanced at Yuuji, then at Amuro Toru.

"Or... call him Shinji. This is more famous."

"An introverted little bottom who likes gentle boys of the same age and can cook. Is her wife power full?" Matsuda Jinpei stole a glance at Jin Yuanguang, but found that the other party rolled his eyes at him.

"What are they talking about? I don't understand."

Suzuki Sonoko poked Kudo Shinichi and found that the detective also looked confused.

"Oh, come to see that anime doesn't exist in this world..."

While people in the restaurant were still joking with each other, the entire building suddenly went dark.

"Huh? What's going on! Did Kidd take action? There are still ten minutes left in the announcement!"

Everyone in the room was surprised.

"Let's go back and take a look!"
