Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I am back."

A brief voice rang out in the courtyard of the Heimaru family. After pushing open the door of the western-style house, Yata, who was carrying a cloth schoolbag, looked inside from the door. It was just pitch black.

Without taking off his shoes, he quickly walked to the third solid pillar in the mansion, reached out and pulled the dusty base of the lamp on the wall, and saw the stone wall next to the pillar slowly turn, revealing a simple steel and wooden elevator behind it.

Taking a deep breath, Yetai turned around to face the outside, closed the safety door inside, and then pulled the lever on the side of the elevator, descending underground with the movement of the machinery.

As an outward vassal of the Karasuma family, Kuromaru naturally must have a house of his own. However, at the moment when Yata is the only one who actually bears the family name, there is no need for him to live in this western-style house, and his "father" will not allow him to live here alone.

The elevator landed at the bottom, and as soon as I walked out of the protective door, I saw a young man. He had heard the sound of the elevator a long time ago, so he was waiting there early.

"Yes, that stupid guy has reported you to the master again, saying that you didn't listen to the master again and participated in school club activities and ran around everywhere."

"Calm down, Kenzo, the stupid head is right behind you."

"what?!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and just as he turned around, he was hit in the face by a fist. He couldn't bear the gravity of the fist and fell to the ground. Through his swollen eyelids, he saw the "stupid head" he mentioned.

His hair was sparse and he looked very strong. His left eye was grey, but if you looked closely you could see a vertical pupil similar to that of a cold-blooded animal.

Seeing that he was about to punch Kenzo again, Yata hurriedly shouted, "Do you still want to continue in front of me, Chiba!"

"I just taught this kid not to talk too much. That gentleman doesn't want us to have any misunderstandings." Qianye Fan paused and snorted, "Master."

"If you respect me, you should at least respect Kenzo. He has been taking care of me since I was born." Yata's eyes were covered by his hair, and he stared at Chiba Shigeru quietly through the ends of his hair: "I am the heir to the Karasuma Group."

"You take him too seriously. Don't forget, young master. We are brothers." Chiba Shigeru watched as Heimaru Yata helped Masuyama Kenzo who was lying on the ground. "Your mother is my aunt."

"She is just a woman who was a clone and gave birth to me. It could have been someone else if not her."

Kuromaru Yata pulled Masuyama Kenzo's sleeve and walked out from the passage in front of the elevator. The road looked like a tunnel like a mine tunnel, and it was reinforced with wood all around. The three of them moved forward under the dim gas light, and finally saw the stairs.

"Um……"

At the end of the stairs, he pushed open the wooden door and looked at the underground cave that was as big as a football field. He noticed the old man standing in front of the wooden house next to the natural pool, which was only about 40 square meters in the middle of the cave square, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sir, the three of them are here."

A man who looked very similar to Chiba Shigeru was serving the old man. When he saw the wound on Kenzo Masuyama's face, he stood directly in front of Kenzo Masuyama when the three men arrived.

"Do you know the origin of that girl?"

"Nan Fengzi's niece. Although it's unclear why she was beaten in that alley, Kudo found Tayura's gun and police manual."

The first sentence he spoke was not about the situation at school. There was no father-son affection between the two of them. It was just as if the superior was indifferent to the inferior.

Yetai took out a pistol and a manual from the cloth bag, flicked his wrist in front of the old man, and pulled out the magazine.

"One bullet is missing."

“Because I went to where I was supposed to go.”

The old man took the magazine and looked at it carefully in front of him: "He only needs to do his job as a communication bridge, why must he help those people investigate us? This bullet should be in his head now."

"Yes, sir."

The man lowered his head: "I thought the gun would be picked up by those guys."

"You rarely make mistakes, Rum." The old man stroked the surface of the magazine. "You are worried that they will lose."

"There is already a trend, sir. The people of the Ooka family left Japan this time to attend the follow-up meeting with the other side. It seems that they are about to win. Almost everyone in that country supports the other side."

Lang Mu said worriedly, "He sent people to ask us when we can develop the medicine. Once we leave the vast country and rely on only a small island, he is worried that he won't be able to get the final results."

Tayura's investigation was also a sign that the other party had run out of patience. Rum was worried that the other party would suspect that he was being deceived, so he directly exposed their existence and research plans to the world.

"Then ask him to provide more antique treasures that can be exchanged for research funds, and tell him that we will not forget him."

The old man exhaled: "As long as the medicine is successful, even if we die, we can crawl back from hell again." (End of this chapter)
