Chapter 40 Yukiko's Guilt (Please continue reading)

Yukiko's exclamation caught Chris's attention, and she looked over.

At that moment, Yukiko noticed Chris's gaze and thought to herself, "Oh no."

Chris cannot know about Shinichi's situation yet.

Although she and Chris were like sisters, this matter concerned Shinichi's life, so she had to be careful.

But Chris had opened her heart to her and came to Tokyo with her without hesitation, abandoning her career in America. Yet she had to keep this a secret from her best friend, which made her feel a little guilty.

I'm sorry, Chris.

She could only apologize in her heart to alleviate her guilt, or wait until the time was right to tell Chris about it.

While Yukiko was hiding Chris from her, little did she know that Chris was also keeping something from her.

And just now, they saved the lives of his entire family.

She removed Yusaku Kudo entirely out of consideration for Yukiko and Shinichi Kudo.

Yukiko was one of her few close friends, and Shinichi Kudo was one of her saviors. If it weren't for her and her son, she wouldn't have cared about Yusaku Kudo's life or death.

It's good that he's dead. Yukiko won't have to put up with his temper anymore, and all the money will go to Yukiko.

but
It was by chance and good luck that Yusaku Kudo was able to be saved.

If it weren't for her being on duty, Rum would definitely have found out about this first.

At that point, the organization will have already begun its operation, and Kudo Yusaku will undoubtedly die.

After Yusaku Kudo was silenced, Yukiko was the next to be silenced, and even their close friends couldn't escape.

This is the organization's operating style: better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, unless things are beyond saving.

Fortunately, Chris controlled part of the organization's intelligence network in the United States, and with a bit of luck, she was able to get there first and find out about it before Rum.

As for the other part of the intelligence network, it was naturally in Rum's hands, since Rum had always been the one serving the BOSS.

The boss wouldn't entrust the entire intelligence network to one person; checks and balances are naturally better than one party having absolute power.

Moreover, the BOSS has been absent from the organization for a long time, so Rum, who serves him, is bound to have some ulterior motives.

This is where Chris comes in to keep Rum in check.

"Feel sorry!"

Yukiko opened her mouth towards Chris but didn't make a sound. Then she turned around, covered the microphone, and continued speaking.

Chris knew what Yukiko was talking about, but her doubts only deepened.

Who could have made that call that elicited such a strong reaction from Yukiko?

Could it be that, as she suspected, Shinichi Kudo might not be dead and is calling Yukiko, otherwise Yukiko wouldn't be making the call behind her back?

Furthermore, it was already unusual for Yusaku Kudo to have Interpol investigate Gin and vodka.

Yusaku Kudo is in America, not Tokyo, so how could he possibly look like Gin and Vodka!
Someone must have told him!

"If my guess is correct, Shinichi Kudo might not be dead after all. The APTX-4869 developed by Sherry has other side effects!"

As a veteran in the organization, Chris knows more, and she has also worked with Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano.

She knew very well that Shirley's information about APTX-4869 was incomplete, and it wouldn't be surprising if any side effects occurred.

Moreover, APTX-4869 wasn't always called that; it was previously known as 'Silver Bullet'.

If Shinichi Kudo could truly survive the Silver Bullet, then he might just be the real Silver Bullet.

It is a silver bullet capable of destroying an organization.

"It's true. Conan brought two cell phones to school today, and he even answered a call while he was being punished by standing in the hallway. And the call was from your husband."

Kitahara Natsuhiro stood below the podium and glanced at Conan, who was cleaning the classroom by himself.

After sensing Kitahara Natsuhiro's gaze, Conan wiped the table even more diligently.

Highlight the well-behaved one.

"This guy is really my nemesis! He even found my phone hidden in my backpack! I'm really in trouble this time!"

Just as school was ending, Kitahara Natsuhiro came to the classroom again and, under the pretext that Conan was carrying a cell phone, searched all the students' bags. In the end, he found another cell phone in Conan's bag.

None of the other students in the class had brought their cell phones. So, except for Conan, the rest of the students happily went home from school.

Only Conan was left behind by Kitahara Natsuhiro to clean the classroom.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro told Yukiko about this.

As for why he didn't tell Yusaku Kudo, it's because he couldn't get through to him on the phone.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko covered her cheeks, feeling flushed and embarrassed!
Bringing a cell phone is one thing, but being caught is another.

She doesn't have such a stupid son.

"Teacher Kitahara, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Yukiko kept bowing and apologizing.

Although Kitahara Natsuhiro couldn't see this scene, he still felt Yukiko's sincerity through the phone call.

"Mrs. Edogawa, you can't let Conan bring such valuable items to school anymore. It would be a problem if they got lost."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely punish Conan severely when I get home and make him go to school properly," Yukiko said with a forced smile.

Shinichi, that brat, is definitely asking for trouble.

The teacher calls every few days, does he really think I'm still in America? When I get back, I'll give him a good spanking!
“However, my husband called Conan…” Yukiko asked tentatively.

She already had some guesses in her mind, but she still wanted to get the exact answer from Kitahara Natsuyu.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "I know that. Your husband said that you two had a fight, and you ran away from home and disappeared. He can't even get through to you on the phone, so he called to ask Conan."

"Later, I spoke with your husband on the phone, and he asked me to tell him if I knew your location."

"do not want!"

Upon hearing this, Yukiko blurted out.

She doesn't want to see Yusaku Kudo right now, not at all.

“Alright, since Mrs. Edogawa has requested it, I will naturally not reveal your location.”

He's the most tight-lipped person; if the person involved tells him not to speak, he naturally won't.

"However, Mrs. Edogawa, you will need to come to the school to take your phone with you."

“My phone is a valuable item, and it’s not really good for it to stay in my hands,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

Yukiko said, "Tomorrow, I'm free tomorrow, is that alright?"

“No problem, Mrs. Edogawa, you can call me after you come tomorrow,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem."

Kitahara Natsuhiro responded and hung up the phone, in a good mood.

"Conan."

"Have!"

"Is the cleaning finished?"

"not yet!"

"Hurry up."

"Yes!"

At this time, Yukiko and Chris had already taken a taxi to the Beika Hotel.

"Yukiko, who was that person who called you just now?" Chris asked.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko remained calm and, as usual, said, "It was a call from a distant relative of mine. They said there was a small problem in their family, but it's nothing serious."

"That's it"

She knew perfectly well that Yukiko had no distant relatives; this was a lie.

But she wasn't going to expose it; everyone has their own secrets.

If Yukiko doesn't say anything, then she can investigate it herself.

Let's check Yukiko's call records first!
