Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Overwhelmed with shame, she couldn't even look her son in the eye.

My son actually asked me why I didn't contact him?

Even if Yusaku Kudo is missing, my son shouldn't be like this...

Yukiko Kudo suddenly remembered that she had overheard Gu De and Ran Mouri discussing the possibility that Conan's mental state might be somewhat unstable.

Could it be... that all of this is true?

"Mom, tell me, what do I lack compared to that guy Gu De?"

"If he can do it, so can I!"

"Besides...wouldn't it be more convenient for me to do these things if I were by your side?"

Conan continued to look at his mother with confusion.

He's a famous detective himself!

Before Gu De appeared, he was already hailed as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era!

Why did Mom entrust Gu De to handle the matter of Dad's disappearance?

Seeing Yukiko Kudo's shocked expression, unable to speak, Conan became even more certain that his guess was correct.

"Mom, believe me, I'm no worse than Gu De!"

"Just give me one chance!"

Yukiko Kudo felt a sudden dizziness.

I and Gu De have already gone crazy enough, but that doesn't mean I have to break any other taboos!

However, Conan's words led her astray in her understanding.

"Shinichi, don't say that."

"Mom...Mom wasn't prepared. This really is just a one-time thing between me and Gu De..."

Yukiko Kudo suddenly wanted to smoke.

When she was in the United States, Sharon once gave her a cigarette, but when she smoked it, she felt dizzy.

Right now, she really wants that dizziness to help her adjust.

How could this happen? How could my own son do this!

"Mom, were you mentally prepared for this?"

Am I really that much less important to you than Goo De?

“Tell me how Gooder did it, and I’ll definitely do it better than him!”

Conan was also somewhat annoyed by his mother's attitude.

Every time I encounter a case now, I'm always outmaneuvered by Gu De!

Xiao Lan left him, and even the three little ones kept calling him "Brother Gu De" this and "Brother Gu De" that.

Now even mothers are like this!

Why don't you trust your own reasoning abilities!

"Shinichi, this is impossible... Let's not talk about this anymore!"

Yukiko Kudo gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked away quickly.

"I will absolutely not agree!"

"Also, Shinichi, don't talk to me during this period!"

She spoke angrily while secretly shedding tears.

Why would this happen? Why would his own son, Shinichi, make such a request?

Watching his mother leave, Conan was completely stunned.

What's the secret behind Dad's disappearance?

No matter what, Yukiko Kudo refused to let him investigate, and instead entrusted everything to Gu De!

No, I have to figure this out!

……

Yukiko Kudo had mixed feelings.

I originally thought that I would go camping and do some outdoor sports with Gu De to relax and rejuvenate my mind and body.

But her own son made this strange request.

but……

He's already a high school student, so he does seem to know quite a bit about those things.

but.

I'm his mother!

How could you make such a request!

Although Yusaku Kudo has indeed disappeared!

Thinking of this, Yukiko Kudo angrily kicked a branch on the ground.

Where did Yusaku Kudo go?

At first, I thought he was up to something secretly, but now it seems increasingly strange.

Could he have done something illegal?

"Da da da~"

A series of hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Mom, I really do need this!"

Conan still caught up.

"How to do?"

Yukiko Kudo stopped angrily without turning around.

"Mom, I really can! Don't let my current appearance as a primary school student fool you, I really can!"

"Whatever the burden, I want to solve it with my mom!"

Conan ran over and shouted.

"But...Mom and Gu De...this is the only time..."

Yukiko Kudo lowered her voice.

The woods were very quiet, and she was worried that the noise would get out.

1. "Mom and Gu De may be gone this time, but I can always stay by Mom's side!"

0 Conan's voice came again, unwilling to give up.

0 "You child... do you know what you're saying?"

1. Yukiko Kudo turned around, and behind her was Conan with a serious expression.

6. Why are you so serious about this kind of thing?

7. Yukiko Kudo got even angrier: "Shinichi, do you know what you're saying?"

1. "Mom and Gu De only have this one time, but do you want to do the same as Mom?"

0 "Do you even know what you're doing?"

5. Conan stared wide-eyed, somewhat confused.

5. Finally, he sighed and said, "Alright then, but can I get involved too?"

Do you still want to get involved?

Yukiko Kudo stamped her foot: "No, absolutely not!"

"How could such a thing happen!"

"Absolutely not! If you bring this up again, we'd better never see each other again!"

Conan was now completely panicked.

However, he also had a vague feeling that things were very serious!

Could it be that Dad is involved with the Black Organization?

So my mom was adamant about not letting me get involved, and instead sought help from Goo De?

There must be some enormous danger here!

"Hey Conan, we've brought your bottle too!"

Genta Kojima called out to Conan from afar.

Ayumi Yoshida and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya each held two bottles.

Professor Agasa prepared a lot of things, but there wasn't much drinking water, since the original camping area already had drinking water available.

So when Professor Agasa heard about the stream, he prepared everything he could to hold water.

"Conan, why do you look so gloomy?"

As Yoshida Ayumi approached, she asked with concern.

"Conan, don't worry, we're just temporarily stuck here."

"Professor Agasa said that after we finish eating, we can take a walk around the neighborhood together. Maybe we'll find a surprise!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said excitedly.

"I know."

Conan took the water bottle, but didn't continue the conversation. He simply lowered his head and walked towards the stream.

Yukiko Kudo sighed inwardly.
