Chapter 208 What Soap Opera
After hearing the word "Dad" from Conan's mouth and seeing Yukiko's "playful" expression, Makino blinked and did not speak immediately.

Although I don’t know how Yukiko wants to “play Conan” again, what can be confirmed at the moment is that Conan is indeed 100% amnesiac.

Otherwise, with his personality, it would be impossible for him to call me "Dad".

Thinking of this, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Makino's mouth.

Although it felt a bit strange, there was an indescribable sense of pleasure when I heard Conan call me "Dad".

I wonder what expression this kid will have when he recovers his memory~
Yukiko turned her head to avoid Conan's gaze, smiled and stuck out her tongue at Makino behind her, then turned around and rubbed Conan's head: "Good boy, don't be afraid~ Daddy and Mommy are by your side~"

Makino looked at Yukiko, who had a kind face, and silently mourned for Conan in his heart.

For Conan, when there is no danger, Yukiko is probably his biggest danger.

After comforting Conan for a while, Yukiko remembered that she had to visit a friend's house today, and she quickly looked down at the time on her mobile phone.

"Ryuichi, it's getting late, let's get ready to go. Take this brat... ahem, let's take Conan with us~"

"Your friend's home is in Gunma Prefecture, right? Don't worry, it won't take long to drive there." Makino nodded.

Yukiko stared at Conan's blue suit for two seconds, and suddenly thought of something, with a light flashing in her eyes: "Then wait for me a moment, I'll go get Conan a new set of clothes~"

After saying that, Yukiko skipped towards the inner room.

After seeing Yukiko's excited back, Makino glanced at Conan, who had a confused expression on the sofa, and shook his head with a smile.

Not long after, Yukiko walked out of the room with a pink outfit in her hand.

After walking in front of Makino, Yukiko immediately smiled and showed the clothes in her hand: "Dangdang~ This is the pink koala suit I bought specially for this child~"

At this point, Yukiko leaned close to Makino's ear and whispered, "It's so nice, but this brat refuses to wear it! This is a good opportunity to let him wear it and take some photos... Hehe~"

Makino glanced at Conan, then at the "pink koala jumpsuit" in Yukiko's hand, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "It looks very suitable for him, let me take a picture later~"

"Yeah, yeah! I think he'll look great in it~"

"..."

At this moment, Conan looked at the "parents" in front of him who were whispering to each other, and for some reason he suddenly felt uneasy.

The next second, Yukiko walked up to Conan with a smile and said, "Come on Conan, put on this clothes quickly~ We are going out~"

Looking at the clothes in Yukiko's hand, Conan blinked in confusion: "But this set of clothes..."

Before Conan could finish, Yukiko interrupted and said, "Kid, you have liked pink since you were a child~ Although you may not remember, this dress was bought for you by your mother~"

"I asked my mother to buy it for me?" Conan blinked in confusion and silently took the pink koala costume from Yukiko.

Looking at the pink clothes in his hand, although he had lost his memory, Conan's subconscious still felt that something was wrong.

However, when he saw Yukiko staring at him with "expectant" eyes, he always felt his scalp tingling and a chill all over his body.

So, he ended up changing into this pink animal costume.

Although he couldn't remember anything now, he always had a familiar feeling when he saw Yukiko and Makino in front of him.

Not only that, when he opened his mouth to call them dad and mom just now, he seemed to feel a strong emotion surging deep in his heart.

His subconscious told him that the man and woman in front of him seemed to be his parents.

Seeing that Conan really changed into this cute outfit after being "coaxed" by Yukiko, the curve of Makino's mouth became a little bigger.

Yukiko also smiled and said, "You are worthy of being my mother's good child. Come on, put on your hat and let your parents take some pictures of you."

Although he was a little confused, Conan still followed Yukiko's instructions and put on the hat with small ears.

Seeing this, Yukiko could no longer control her joy.

In order to avoid scaring the amnesiac Conan, Yuki quickly turned around and walked to Makino's side, using Makino's shoulder to cover up her smile and laughter.

After laughing a few times, Yukiko calmed down, took out her phone from her pocket, and looked at Conan with a smile: "We're going to take a photo~ Come on, raise your two little hands above your head, and bend them slightly forward..."

Looking at Yukiko who had already entered the "shooting" mode, Makino smiled helplessly, then reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone.

……

Not long after, the filming of Conan finally came to an end.

Makino also drove Yukiko and Conan to Gunma Prefecture.

Yukiko, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was admiring her own photographic work while silently raising the corners of her mouth, as if she was thinking about something interesting.

Conan was holding the snacks and juice that Makino and Yukiko had just bought at the convenience store. Like a real child, he was looking at the scenery outside the window and drinking the juice in his arms.

After a moment, Yukiko seemed to have thought of a good idea. She turned her head and looked at Makino who was driving with excitement, and opened her mouth slightly.

But a second later, she saw Conan in the rearview mirror and gave up.

After a while, Makino and the other two finally arrived at their destination.

After parking the car, Makino looked at the large house in front of him and said, "Sister Yukiko... um..."

As soon as Makino opened his mouth, Yukiko immediately reached out and twisted his waist, looking at him with a gentle but murderous look.

After a second of silence, Makino spoke again: "Then... Yukiko? Judging from the size of the house, your friend's family should have been the richest 'landlord' around here, right?"

Hearing that Makino had dropped the title of "sister", Yukiko was still a little dissatisfied, but she finally nodded: "Yes, she was actually my classmate when I was a child. I used to come here often to play with her~"

Conan looked up at his "Mom and Dad" beside him and blinked in confusion.

At this moment, the sound of a car seemed to be heard, and the gate of the house was suddenly opened from the inside.

A woman in a dark yellow shirt poked her head out of the door.

After seeing Makino and the other two not far away, especially Yukiko, the woman immediately opened the gate and walked towards Makino and the others in surprise: "Yukiko, I didn't expect you to really come! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me~"

"For you, an old friend who grew up with me, I would come here even if I were on the other side of the earth, let alone Los Angeles~" Yukiko smiled and held the woman's hand.

The woman glanced at Makino and Conan beside Yukiko and asked in confusion, "You really haven't changed at all! By the way, aren't Yusaku and Shinichi here?"

Hearing this, Yukiko's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and she turned to look at Makino beside her: "Ryuichi, this is my old classmate Yabuuchi Hiromi~"

After finishing speaking, Yukiko turned to look at Hiromi Yabuuchi again: "He is my husband Ryuichi Makino, and this child is our child, Conan." After finishing speaking, Yukiko looked down at Conan beside her and chuckled: "Conan, say hello to your aunt~"

"Hello, Auntie~" Conan looked at Hiromi Yabuuchi obediently and lowered his head slightly.

Yabuuchi Hiromi: “?!”

Seeing this, Yabuuchi Hiromi immediately covered her mouth in surprise, but did not forget to nod slightly in response to Conan.

Before Yabuuchi Hiromi could speak again, Yukiko's expression suddenly became a little sad: "I'm sorry I never told you. In fact, many years ago, Kudo Yusaku cheated on me with a young foreign woman. After I found out, he not only didn't apologize, he even abandoned me on the spot!"

At this point, Yukiko wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Makino beside her with tender eyes: "Fortunately, I met Ryuichi at that time. He saved me. Now, our children have grown up so much~"

Makino: "?"

She is indeed a natural actress, she can even come up with a melodramatic love story that can be filmed into dozens of episodes of a soap opera...

Does Kudo Yusaku know what you said?

Does he know that he has become an "ex-husband"?
Yabuuchi Hiromi: "!!!"

Hiromi Yabuuchi looked at Makino in shock, then at Conan and Yukiko, and fell into a brief daze.

She didn't expect that just by asking casually, she would actually get such shocking news!

No wonder Yukiko rarely mentioned Kudo Yusaku on the phone...

I didn't expect this to happen!
After a moment's silence, Yabuuchi Hiromi really didn't know what to say at this moment, so she could only step forward silently and hug Yukiko gently to comfort her.

At the moment when Hiromi Yabuuchi hugged Yukiko, Yukiko secretly smiled at Makino and stuck out her tongue.

The next second, Yukiko let go of Yabuuchi Hiromi, took Makino beside her, and chuckled, "It doesn't matter. If that guy hadn't cheated on me, I wouldn't have met Ryuichi~"

Hearing this, Yabuuchi Hiromi carefully observed Makino beside Yukiko and nodded silently.

She had met Kudo Yusaku before at Yukiko's wedding.

Whether in terms of appearance, temperament or age, the Ryuichi Makino in front of him is obviously better than Yukiko's previous husband Yusaku Kudo.

And judging from Ryuichi Makino's attire and the expensive black luxury car next to him, this man's financial situation is obviously very good.

Thinking of this, Yabuuchi Hiromi also smiled and bowed formally to greet Makino.

After greeting Hiromi Yabuuchi, Makino looked helplessly at Yukiko beside him.

Yukiko avoided Makino's gaze as if she hadn't seen anything, and continued to hold Makino's arm and said, "By the way, Guangmei, you said last time that you wanted me to help investigate something. What was that?"

Hearing this, Yabuuchi Hiromi finally remembered the main business and shook her head, saying, "It's a bit complicated to explain...ah! Let's go inside first. You guys must be thirsty, right? Let's talk while we drink tea."

As soon as everyone walked into the yard, they saw a fat old man wearing an orange sweater.

Behind the old man, there is a young black man.

After seeing Makino and the other two, the old man asked, "Guangmei, who are these three guests?"

After seeing the old man, Yabuuchi Hiromi blinked unnaturally, stretched out her hand and introduced: "Uncle Yoshifusa! Look, this is Yukiko who often came to our house to play when she was a child. The one next to her is her husband and child."

"Long time no see~" Yukiko bowed slightly and greeted the old man in front of her with a smile.

Makino and Conan also nodded slightly.

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa stared at Yukiko's face for a while, shook his head and smiled: "I can't remember, maybe it's because I lived in Brazil for too long. You guys just stay here for a while~"

The next second, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa looked at the black man beside him and said, "Okay, let's go, Carlos."

After Yabuuchi Yoshifusa left with Carlos beside him, Yabuuchi Hiromi explained to Makino and the other two, "He is a close friend of Yoshifusa's who was brought back from Brazil."

After finishing speaking, Yabuuchi Hiromi leaned in front of Yukiko with a serious expression: "Well, do you think there is anything wrong with Uncle Yoshifusa?"

"What do you mean?" Yukiko asked puzzledly.

"Does he look, sound, and feel the same as Uncle Yoshifusa?" Yabuuchi Hiromi continued to ask.

Seeing Hiromi Yabuuchi so serious, Yukiko carefully recalled her childhood experiences and frowned, "Although Uncle Yoshifusa often played with us before, he moved to Brazil before I started elementary school. I really can't see anything wrong with him..."

At this point, Yukiko looked at Yabuuchi Hiromi seriously and said, "Could it be that the person you want to investigate is this Uncle Yoshifusa?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi nodded heavily. "That's right! Actually, Uncle Yoshifusa just returned from Brazil a few days ago, but I always feel that he is different from before. The only person I could recognize him as was his father... who also died of cancer a month ago."

"Cancer..."

Yabuuchi Hiromi shook her head and said, "Yes, and my mother passed away 15 years ago, and all of Uncle Yoshifusa's friends died very early..."

Hearing this, Makino looked down at Conan beside him.

This uncle Yoshifusa also has a physique similar to Conan, right?
After listening to Yabuuchi Hiromi's explanation, Yukiko asked curiously, "Hiromi, why do you care so much about whether this uncle Yoshifusa is real or not?"

Before Yabuuchi Hiromi could speak, a middle-aged man in a dark green suit came over and said, "Because of the inheritance."

Hearing this, Yabuuchi Hiromi quickly interrupted: "Husband?!"

The reason why she wanted to investigate whether the uncle's story was true was indeed related to the inheritance. But she didn't expect her husband to be so straightforward.

The middle-aged man nodded to Hiromi Yabuuchi and Makino and continued, "Nice to meet you. I am Hiromi's husband, Hidekazu Yabuuchi. Let's get back to what happened just now. The reason why we want to know if he is the real uncle Yoshifusa is actually related to my father-in-law's inheritance."

"We suspect that the old man is an imposter who came here to defraud my father-in-law of his property. After all, my father-in-law is one of the largest landowners in the area and has a lot of inheritance."

"Although the lawyer said my father-in-law had written a will before his death, if the person concerned was not present when the will was published, he would not get even a penny."

Hearing this, Makino took a closer look at Hiromi Yabuuchi and her husband Hidekazu Yabuuchi in front of her.

No wonder he always felt familiar.

If I remember correctly, the old man just now was not the real "Yabuuchi Yoshifusa". The real Yabuuchi Yoshifusa seemed to have died in Brazil.

The young black man just now seemed to be the son of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa born in Brazil.

The reason why the old man pretended to be Yabuuchi Yoshifusa was actually to protect Yabuuchi Yoshifusa's son Carlos and help him get the part of the property that he deserved.
