Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Uncle Mori interrupted Ran's somewhat fake acting, coughing twice: "Um, Ms. Fumiyo Edogawa, you can take this kid with you. I have another case to attend to later, so I won't keep you any longer."

Yukiko Kudo walked over and took Conan's hand.

This time, Conan did not resist because, after calming down a bit, he felt that breaking off relations here might implicate Ran and the others.

Because Conan Edogawa's name was made up by him, there is no way that a being named "Conan Edogawa's mother" could exist in the world.

Is this person a member of the Black Organization?

Or is it related to the recent child abduction incident in Beika Town?

Conan, lost in thought, was led to a green car parked in front of the Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran smiled and said to Conan through the window, "Remember to write letters when you get over there."

Uncle Mori: "Madam, don't forget the thank-you gift you promised, hehehe..."

Yukiko Kudo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll remember Mr. Mori's kindness. I'll need your help in the future if I need anything."

The car wound its way along the small roads and soon left the Beika Town area.

After getting into the car, Conan cautiously observed the situation inside the car and around him.

He discovered that there was only one middle-aged woman driving the car, and he didn't see any other vehicles belonging to the criminals following behind or around him.

If it's the Black Organization, isn't this a bit too hasty?

Could it be that he really encountered a child trafficking gang?

Although being suddenly approached by a strange woman filled Conan with some fear, his detective instincts were also fully ignited. Conan was now eager to know the woman's purpose and identity.

Because this criminal named Fumiyo Edogawa always chose to travel on back roads, Conan did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the patrolling police.

There were quite a few people on the street, but rushing out to ask passersby for help might get you fooled by the same trick you just used.

Just as Conan was pondering his next move, Fumiyo Edogawa spoke up: "You must be very curious now, right?"

Conan dropped the pretense: "Who exactly are you?"

“I am your mother.”

"You're lying, I..." Conan hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Yukiko Kudo smiled and said, "You mean to say that your identity as Conan Edogawa can't possibly have a mother, right? What if it were Shinichi Kudo?"

Conan's eyes widened instantly: "You...you knew all that?"

Yukiko Kudo sneered, "That's right, I know more than just that you are Shinichi Kudo."

I also know that your mother is a beautiful woman who can make men all over the world infatuated with her. She won the highest honor in the entertainment industry at the age of nineteen, and she is the record holder for the highest viewership rating in Nichiri TV's history. Even after retiring from the entertainment industry for many years, she still has a fan base that ranks among the top ten..."

Conan was initially a little frightened.

But after listening to the kidnapper auntie ramble on for a while, Conan suddenly felt less scared.

In movies, talkative villains usually die a tragic death, but unexpectedly, he encountered a talkative kidnapper here.

Regardless, the other party knew his identity and family situation very well, so it was certain that he was not from the child trafficking criminal group, but most likely a member of the Black Organization.

We must find a way to escape.

If they take him away, I'm afraid I'll never see Xiaolan again.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Fumiyo Edogawa suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him: "Don't even think about doing anything funny, or I won't be so polite to you. But don't worry, we won't kill you. We'll just take you to a safe place and ask you to do us a little favor."

Conan didn't believe her nonsense. Even if what she said was true, he could forget about having any freedom for the rest of his life.

Conan looked around and noticed that the car was just passing through an intersection.

At this speed, they should stop when the traffic light turns red.

Conan first pretended to give up to lower the other party's guard, and when the car was about to reach the intersection, he suddenly stepped on the gas.

Although Yukiko Kudo reacted quickly, the car still lurched forward quite a distance.

Cars on both sides braked suddenly, nearly hitting them. Horns blared and curses erupted, turning the entire intersection into chaos.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Conan opened the car door and disappeared into the traffic.

Yukiko Kudo, who was behind them, was stopped by other drivers and was unable to catch up.

.

After escaping from the criminals, Conan finds himself in a predicament.

Going back to Ran would only harm her, and Ai Haibara might already be under the control of the Black Organization.

After much deliberation, Conan decided that the only option left was to ask Professor Agasa for help.

Conan quietly arrived at the alley opposite Professor Agasa's house and hid behind a telephone pole to observe. Because he was unsure if the other party was lying in ambush there, Conan did not dare to go in rashly.

I was just thinking about it.

Behind her came the crisp sound of high heels on the ground: "Oh, so you're here. Come home with Mom, I've made your favorite green peppers."

Conan turned around abruptly and saw that the scary old lady was walking towards him with a pink handkerchief in her hand.

She held a pistol in her other hand.

"Damn it, did they actually guess what he was thinking?" Conan thought to himself.

Yukiko Kudo chuckled and said, "Stop putting up futile resistance. You don't want to drag innocent people into this, do you?"

Conan looked around, because he had chosen this place because the alley was relatively narrow and secluded.

Normally, almost no one passes by here.

And just as the other party said, ordinary passersby would have no way to fight off armed criminals even if they were just passing by.

Just when Conan was in despair, a familiar voice came from the end of the alley: "Hey, isn't that Conan? You didn't make Ran angry again, did you? Are you trying to hide at Professor Agasa's house?"

Conan was startled when he heard someone call his name.

Fumiyo Edogawa was carrying a gun, and Conan really didn't want to implicate those around him.

However, when Conan saw the person standing behind Fumiyo Edogawa, it was Kazuki Onami carrying a schoolbag.

Hmm... I don't feel so worried anymore.

However, this evil thought only lasted for a moment. Conan, being a man of strong sense of justice, didn't want Wen Shui to get involved and be taken hostage by this woman.

Conan grabbed Kudo Yukiko's arm, which was holding a gun, and shouted, "Warm Water Brother, go call the police! This lady is a kidnapper!"

"What?! A kidnapper?!"

Wen Shui was initially shocked, then angrily exclaimed, "How dare they kidnap a child right in front of me!"

Warm water rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, then tripped over a stone on the ground and fell in front of Yukiko Kudo, unconscious.

Conan looked exasperated.

Yukiko Kudo's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting things to unfold this way.

If it were a real kidnapper, perhaps killing him with lukewarm water or dumping him in a place where he wouldn't be easily discovered would be the best option.

But Yukiko Kudo is no ordinary kidnapper. She is a retired female idol who is already a mother but still has a playful spirit and likes to scare her son.

She decided to tie up Wenshui as well.

Under the threat of the gun, Conan could not resist and could only let Yukiko Kudo cover his face with the pink handkerchief in her hand. Then everything went black and he fell into a coma.

.

After Yukiko Kudo gave her son Conan a "mom's care package".

He turned his gaze to Wen Shui, who had fainted on the ground.

Is this guy going to wake up later?

Yukiko Kudo thought for a moment, then went over and gently touched Wen Shui's cheek, giving him a "mom's care" treatment as well.

Because of the bathroom incident last time, Yukiko Kudo hadn't been sleeping well lately, so she gave Nuna more "care" than Conan did, enough to keep Nuna asleep until night.

It took Yukiko a lot of effort to move the two people to the back seat of the car parked at the alley entrance.

The main problem is that Yukiko Kudo is too heavy. After all, she's not like Eri Kisaki, who can use the rugby coach as a punching bag for an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Damn it, I should have known better than to drug Shinichi. Yusaku went out to socialize as soon as he got back. Honestly."

Yukiko Kudo muttered a complaint under her breath as she drove her green sedan away from the alley.

Then we drove to a wooden villa on the outskirts of Beika Town.

This villa was rented temporarily specifically for the purpose of kidnapping Conan. There were no other residents around, and the windows on the second floor were particularly high, making it ideal for imprisoning hostages.

Yusaku Kudo also designed several small mechanisms to give Conan a strong sense of participation.

Of course, Mrs. Kudo didn't care about the specific design of the mechanism; she was only responsible for scaring Conan, except now there was also Wen Shui and Shu.

"Hmph, you didn't just see my older sister's body for nothing! This time, I'll make you pay the price," Mrs. Kudo thought with a sneer.

After parking the car in the villa's yard, Kudo Yusaku would have to wait a while before coming over.

Yukiko Kudo had no choice but to set up the venue herself, which left her exhausted.

Conan was alright; he could be grabbed by the back of the neck and carried upstairs.

When it was Warm Water's turn, Mrs. Kudo had to carry him up the stairs to get him to the kitchen.

"You wretched boy, why are you so heavy? I should have just left you here," Mrs. Kudo complained breathlessly.

Of course, she was just saying it casually. Even if she had to choose again, Yukiko Kudo would definitely bring Wenshui along as well.

Is there any game in the world more fun than this? This is much more interesting than having tea parties with those socialites and ladies abroad, Yukiko thought.

After much difficulty, they managed to move Wen Shui and Conan into the kitchen of the wooden villa.

Yukiko Kudo took out a rope and tied the warm water in place.

Then they began to inspect and remove the items from the two people.

This was something Yusaku Kudo had instructed them to do beforehand; in order to avoid arousing Conan's suspicion, they had to act more like kidnappers.

In addition to taking away their cell phones and personal items that could cut ropes, they also specifically asked Professor Agasa about how to destroy equipment such as the "wristwatch-type tranquilizer gun" and the "leg-strengthening shoes."

This was all to make Conan believe that they were real kidnappers.

The more realistic it is, the more Conan will realize that his own power is limited. Only in this way can the kid be made to restrain himself a little.
