Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Eri Kisaki, her glasses nowhere to be found, was standing next to Yukiko Kudo with an expectant expression.

Feeling Gu De's gaze, she nodded shyly, "Yes...yes, Master...is right."

"This will make it more convenient for the owner to come here!"

Gu De nodded in satisfaction.

Eri Kisaki is ultimately more rational; she can still think even in situations like this.

"It seems Eri has thought things through more comprehensively!"

"Yukiko, go to the back and leave this place to Eri!"

Gu De said with a smile.

Conan watched the group happily shopping, but his feelings were extremely complicated.

Why was Gu De in his mother's car?

Why did Gu De appear at that professor's house with Ai Haibara?

What exactly is the relationship between Ai Haibara and Goku?

And that young woman who claimed to be Ai Haibara's mother—she was clearly too young!

Why does Masami Hirota, who works at Gokudo, seem to have such a close relationship with Ai Haibara?

Why is everything connected to Goo De?

"Shinichi, what's wrong?"

Dr. Agasa walked over carrying a large bag of ingredients.

"Doctor, tell me, who exactly is this person, Gu De?"

"Today I wanted to probe Ai Haibara's relationship with Gu De, but she kept it a secret, which is not like a child her age at all!"

"But Gu De happens to be very familiar with her!"

"And Mom... why is Gu De in the back seat of Mom?"

Professor Agasa scratched his head. "As for that Ai Haibara you mentioned, I don't know anything about her."

"However, I can guess why your mother, Yukiko, is with Gu De."

"Yusaku has been missing for so long, and his disappearance was very mysterious, so your mother may have asked Gu De to investigate this matter!"

There's a saying in the country across the sea: "Concern leads to confusion." You might be experiencing this kind of relationship.

Dr. Agasa quickly offered his guess.

"Investigating my father?"

Conan pinched his chin.

How about this!

Dr. Agasa suddenly had an idea: "How about this, you go invite your mother, and I'll go invite Mr. Gu De!"

"We can get them all to participate in tomorrow's outing!"

"If they are indeed investigating the search for your father, your mother may join in."

"Because this way you can get a closer look at the situation!"

Seeing Professor Agasa's serious expression, Conan nodded.

That's true, and being with these children might make Gu De lower his guard.

That way, I might be able to get more information!

but......

Conan also thought of the missing Yusaku Kudo.

Where is my father?

He appeared at Narita Airport in Japan, but then mysteriously disappeared.

And who exactly is that white-haired, black-skinned man? Why is this person monitoring Gu De and taking his father away at the same time?

What role did Goo De play in all of this?

"Damn it!"

Conan rubbed his head, completely clueless.

Thank you for your support!

It's almost Chinese New Year! How are you all going home to celebrate?

Chapter 205 Yukiko-neechan, did you steal some yogurt?

"Hahaha, I wasn't wrong, was I!"

"Mr. Gu De and Yukiko have indeed agreed to join!"

"Shinichi, aren't I amazing!"

Inside the Beetle, Professor Agasa spoke with smug satisfaction.

"Yes, he's practically Zhuge Liang reincarnated."

Conan rolled his eyes. Japan also highly regards the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so famous figures from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are often mentioned.

"What happened to you?"

"You don't seem very happy?"

Dr. Agasa was somewhat puzzled.

Even though Gu De and Kudo Yukiko have joined, why do you still look unhappy?

Conan thought for a moment, but didn't continue the topic.

My mom did attend, but she didn't let me ride in her car!

They even pretended to be their own relatives!

But he warmly invited Gu De to get into his car!

This is to...

It seems Mom really doesn't trust her own reasoning, she only believes Goo De Koo!

My mom hasn't told me about looking for my dad yet, so it seems she's entrusted Gu De to handle everything.

How could this be?

I'm a detective too, although I was somewhat discouraged after meeting Goo De.

"It's a real shame that Haibara-san didn't come."

The voices of the three little ones in the back row came over.

"Yeah, Haibara is so cold during her school days."

"But Haibara seems to get along well with Gu De-nii, and with that older sister too!"

"I'll ask Brother Gu De later, but I want to ride in Aunt Yukiko's car so I can chat with Brother Gu De!"

"Hey, Conan, aren't you Brother Gu De's apprentice? Why aren't you riding in that car?"

"I'm hungry, Doctor. Could I get something to eat first?"

The chattering of the three little ones made Professor Agasa stop what he was talking about.

But this only made Conan feel more depressed.

Ran, who grew up with Conan, is now thinking about Gu De all the time, and even Conan, who is slow to notice, can tell that Ran has a lot of feelings for Gu De.

Several of my classmates also really like Gu De.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya even tried to matchmake his older sister with Gu De.

Originally, my mother didn't have much interaction with Gu De, at most some issues related to treatment.

But with her father's disappearance, her mother's relationship with Gu De also became closer!

Why does everything around me seem to revolve around Goo De?

"Ah~"

Conan sighed, closed his eyes, and leaned heavily back in his chair.

"squeak~"

"Thump~"

"boom!"

Suddenly, a plume of black smoke billowed from the hood of the Beetle.

Then, there were some creaking sounds and the sound of gas leaking.

"what!"

Ayumi Yoshida was so frightened that she screamed.

Conan is in slightly better condition, but he is still a little nervous.

Why is Professor Agasa's car breaking down again?

"Screech!"

The Beetle could barely hear the roadside.

The three children immediately opened the door and ran away, while Conan and Professor Agasa came down to check everything.

"Oh, it's an engine malfunction."

"I remember having it checked before..."

Professor Agasa's face was covered in soot, with only the area around his glasses remaining a normal skin color.

"Doctor, your car really needs a major overhaul..."

"Doctor, where are we? It seems like it's getting dark."
