Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 17 Backstabbing from People Close to You
Hearing Terusuke's voice, Mr. Kobayashi showed a surprised expression and said, "Terusuke, I knew you would come!"

It is obvious that in Mr. Kobayashi's eyes, Terusuke has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he cannot say it, his body is very honest.

After hearing what Huijie said, he asked with some confusion: "But, the naughty students you are talking about are..."

Huisuke spread his hands and said helplessly: "Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko and others, they call themselves the Junior Detective Team. They think something strange has happened in the school recently, and they are going to come here to investigate."

"The Junior Detectives? Something strange?" Hearing the unfamiliar term, Teacher Kobayashi asked, "What is that?"

In response, the honorary leader of the Junior Detective Team explained: "The Junior Detective Team is an activity club formed by these children."

"As for the strange things they were talking about, it was probably because of your recent evening rehearsals, and the fact that the Dean hadn't shown up for several days."

Hearing this, Mr. Kobayashi said somewhat frustratedly, "Really? It seems I really am causing trouble for others."

"But Huisuke, you are friends with Conan and the others, right? Why don't you act with them?"

Of course it’s because I’m too lazy to run around with them, but is it to develop their detective qualities?

Although he thought so in his heart, Huisuke said: "They call themselves detectives. If I, who know the truth, act with them, I'm afraid I will lose a lot of experience!"

Teacher Kobayashi nodded. She had no doubts about what Terusuke said. After spending a short time with him, she saw Terusuke as a good boy who cared about others. She said with some guilt:
"Well, I'm really sorry to ruin your adventure with your friends."

"The Boys' Detectives, huh? Come to think of it, I like detective stories too. Especially Edogawa Ranpo's 'Twenty Faces of the Strange Man' series."

"Influenced by it, I have a great respect for police officers. When I was a child, I also dreamed of becoming a policewoman, but later I became a teacher because of my love for children."

Thinking of this, Teacher Kobayashi's eyes suddenly sparkled with stars. He clasped his hands together and said to Terusuke, "Speaking of which, Terusuke, since you are also a member of the Junior Detective Team, can I also join in?"

"How about satisfying my dream of being a detective? Besides, it's not very convenient without adults to do things, right? Teacher, I will act as your official consultant!"

"Hmm?" Huijie was stunned for a moment when he heard what Mr. Kobayashi said. He didn't expect that because of his influence, Mr. Kobayashi would want to become the consultant of the Junior Detective Team so early, but he still said:

"You should talk to them about this kind of thing. I don't care."

"But I'm the only one who knows about your situation, Teacher. From what I've heard, they seem to have some misunderstandings about you. I think tonight is a good opportunity."

After hearing what Huijie said, Mr. Kobayashi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then once I get the props ready, I'll invite them over to have a look!"

"Ah!" At this moment, a scream echoed throughout the teaching building. Teacher Kobayashi's face changed when he heard it and said, "Is that Ayumi? Are they in danger?"

Then Mr. Kobayashi said to Terusuke, "Terusuke, stay here. I'll go see what happened to Ayumi!"

After saying that, he hurried downstairs.

Huisuke looked at Teacher Kobayashi's back, thought about it, and gave up the idea of ​​explaining the situation to her.

It's not just because Terusuke feels there's no need to say it, but also because the misunderstandings the Junior Detectives have about Teacher Kobayashi are something she has to resolve on her own. Of course, there's absolutely no reason Terusuke wants to make fun of the Junior Detectives, even though he's certain that if Teacher Kobayashi goes down, she'll definitely bring some "surprises" to Conan and the others.

Not long after, Teacher Kobayashi brought Conan and the principal to the classroom.

After everyone had made their words clear, Genta and the others understood why Teacher Kobayashi usually behaved so fiercely, and finally agreed to let Teacher Kobayashi become the consultant of the Junior Detective Team.

As for Conan, he had guessed everything before Mr. Kobayashi found them. The most unexpected thing for him was that the dean was bald.

Then, Mr. Kobayashi made Terusuke the class monitor of Class 1-B according to his own agreement.

Although the immediate problem was solved, another problem emerged, which was the parent-teacher meeting that Teacher Kobayashi was going to hold. Although Dr. Agasa served as the parent in charge of the meeting, Xiaolan still had some questions.

……

Looking at Conan who was reading a detective novel, Xiaolan said angrily:

"Conan, it's been a long time since your parents sent you to our house. It's so irresponsible that they haven't even contacted you for such a long time!"

Maori Kogoro listened to Xiaolan's words and agreed: "I heard that his parents went abroad, but it is indeed a bit irresponsible!"

"Come to think of it, his parents originally left him at Dr. Agasa's house, right? In that case, let's go ask Dr. Agasa for Conan's parents' phone number!"

Listening to what Kogoro Mouri said, Conan's mouth twitched, and he thought speechlessly of Terusuke who had stayed in Professor Agasa's house for a long time. Speaking of irresponsibility, Uncle Mouri is obviously not much better!

However, he immediately began to think of countermeasures. After all, his parents, Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko, were indeed abroad, but even if they were in the country, it would not be convenient for them to show up.

Just when Conan was thinking, the doorbell of the detective agency rang. Xiaolan opened the door and saw a fat woman with curly hair in a red coat. She asked: "Excuse me, are you..."

"My name is Edogawa Fumiyo, and I'm Conan Edogawa's mother." The person in front of Xiaolan was none other than Edogawa Fumiyo, played by Yukiko Kudo.

Looking at Edogawa Fumiyo in front of him, Conan was shocked. Edogawa Conan was just an identity he created casually. How could he have a mother?
But because Conan couldn't tell his secret, he could only follow the unknown woman into the car. But before leaving, Conan said to Xiaolan:

"Sister Xiaolan, remember to say goodbye to Huijie for me. Please tell him that my mother and I are leaving. We can talk about our previous agreement when we have a chance!"

Looking at Conan getting on the car, Xiaolan's eyes flashed with reluctance, and then she said: "I will, but what is your agreement?"

Hearing Xiaolan's question, Conan replied: "It is the captain Huijie who is sleeping in class. As a member of the Junior Detective League, we must help him to see the teacher's agreement. I'm sorry, my mother and I have to go back first."

When Maori Kogoro heard this, he flew into a rage and yelled, "What! That kid actually slept in class! And he asked you to help him look after the teacher!"

"Xiao Lan, call that guy back immediately! I have something to tell him!"
