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

Chapter 18: Kudo Family Gathering and Mori Family Gathering

When Conan backstabbed Terusuke, Terusuke was still at Dr. Agasa's house.

But at this moment he did not lie down as usual, but met with Dr. Agasa, who was wearing black square glasses, had a thick beard, and had a hairstyle basically the same as Conan.

Looking at Yusaku Kudo who was discussing the plan to abduct Conan Edogawa with Professor Agasa, Terusuke couldn't help but mourn for Conan who was about to be abducted.

He is really lucky to have such a pair of parents with childlike hearts!

Just as he was thinking this, Dr. Agasa, who had already finished explaining his plan, suddenly looked at Terusuke and said to him:

"Speaking of which, Huijie, do you want to participate and play a role in this?"

After hearing what Dr. Agasa said, Kudo Yusaku nodded and said, "After all, he lives in the Mori family, so I should remind him to be more careful. Besides, my son is very smart, and there are not many opportunities to tease him."

"Me?" Huisuke pointed at himself, then waved his hand and said, "Conan is my dearest friend, how could I get involved in such a thing?"

Kudo Yusaku looked at the somewhat lazy Terusuke in front of him, and recalled Terusuke's evaluation from Professor Agasa. After a moment's thought, he said:

"Is that so? How about I assign you to Conan's side and add an extra helper to him?"

Hearing this, Huisuke shook his head decisively and said, "I believe in Conan's ability. He can handle such a test alone!"

Kudo Yusaku smiled and didn't care. Based on the information he got from Dr. Agasa, he could roughly analyze what kind of person Terusuke was. This was an expected result.

At this moment, Dr. Agasa's phone rang. Kudo Yusaku understood that at this point in time, the only person who would let Terusuke receive the call should be Conan. This should be his message for help.

So Kudo Yusaku took a look at the phone, immediately made a judgment, and said: "It seems that Yukiko has started. This call should be a message for help from Shinichi!"

Dr. Agasa answered the call from Xiaolan and asked while turning on the hands-free mode: "Xiaolan! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiaolan's voice came from the phone: "Doctor, is Huijie still with you? If he is, please let him answer the phone."

Kudo Yusaku touched his chin and thought, "Because Yukiko is nearby, he is afraid of causing trouble for the Mori family, so he is asking for help in a covert way?"

Next, as long as Xiaolan says that Conan Edogawa's mother is coming to pick him up, both Professor Agasa and Terusuke will know that something is wrong, as he is worthy of being his son.

"Oh! Oh! Okay!" Dr. Agasa handed the phone to Terusuke.

Holding Dr. Agasa's phone, Huijie asked, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiaolan heard Huisuke's voice and said in a worried tone: "Huisuke, Conan's mother came to pick him up today. I heard that his parents are very busy. I wonder how he will live in the future?"

Knowing that Conan wouldn't really leave, Huisuke said nonchalantly, "From what I know, their family is well off, and Conan is so opinionated and does things according to his own wishes, he will definitely not be wronged."

But Huijie's words seemed to remind Xiaolan, and Xiaolan smiled and asked: "That's right, speaking of which, Huijie, do you miss your mother? Our family hasn't been together for a long time, why don't we go out for dinner together today!"

"It's a good opportunity for Mom to catch up on your recent situation. I heard that as the leader of the Junior Detective Team, you asked those kids to remind you during class so you can sleep peacefully." Huisuke thought to himself, "Oh no! There's a mole in our Junior Detective Team!"

Hearing Xiaolan's increasingly dangerous tone, Huisuke cursed Conan in his heart, but immediately retorted: "There is no such thing, we have always been equal friends!"

"Besides, I'm the monitor of our class! I even received praise from Teacher Kobayashi at the last parent-teacher conference. How could I do something like that?"

Having said that, Terusuke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Kobayashi had been convinced by him, so there was no need to worry about being exposed to Eri Kisaki.

After all, even if Kogoro Mouri is angry, he will forget about it in two days; but it is different for Eri Kisaki, she will keep talking about it!

"Is that so?" Xiaolan asked in confusion, "Then why did Conan say that?"

Hearing the change in Xiaolan's tone, Huisuke knew that she had believed his words. Huisuke took advantage of Conan's absence and made a slanderous statement: "I think it must be a prank by Conan before he left!"

Xiaolan smiled helplessly and said, "Don't say that. I don't think Conan is that kind of person."

Before Terusuke could add fuel to the fire, Kudo Yusaku and Dr. Agasa, who wanted to protect Conan, started arguing in front of him.

Seeing their silent actions, Huijie couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "Okay, okay, where is the venue for our family gathering?"

Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then said a little embarrassedly: "I need to ask my mother if she has time first. After all, this is just a sudden plan I came up with."

Then Xiaolan hung up the phone and contacted Eri Kisaki.

After seeing Terusuke hang up the phone, Kudo Yusaku said to Terusuke: "Now Shinichi's message for help has arrived. It seems that he trusts you very much. So, Terusuke, what do you want to do?"

"Let's make it clear in advance. Since you know our plan, I will give us some more leverage after you join the operation."

Huisuke smiled, then turned around and said expressionlessly: "No need, I believe he can do it."

Not to mention it was a prank by the Kudo couple, even if the real organization found him, whether Terusuke would help or not would depend on his mood, and unfortunately, Terusuke was not in a good mood right now.

Conan actually stabbed him in the back. It would be good enough if Terusuke didn't add insult to injury and persecute Conan together. He even wanted Terusuke to help him. How is that possible?

Kudo Yusaku nodded and said, "Well, Yukiko and I are not in a position to show up and greet your parents right now, so we can only wish you and Terusuke a pleasant dinner!"

Then he looked at his watch, put on a squinting smile-style mask, a black hat and a cloak, and said:

"At this time, Shinichi should have been taken to our base by Yukiko, so I'll be leaving first."

Not long after Kudo Yusaku left, Xiaolan called again and said, "How lucky! Mom is free tomorrow. We've set the dinner venue at Room 302 of the Rice Flower Hotel."

Huisuke was stunned and felt that this place seemed familiar. Then he thought carefully, isn’t this next to the final meeting place that Kudo Yusaku just mentioned?
