Professor Agasa's residence and the Kudou family's residence were close by. It was precisely because Professor Agasa was a neighbor Kudou Shinichi had known since childhood that, upon becoming smaller, the first person he thought of running to was Professor Agasa's house.
Due to his fear of implicating his parents, even when Kudou Yuusaku returned to Japan and Kudou Shinichi became Conan, he still lived at Professor Agasa's house and did not return to his own home.
After school on Friday, Conan, finally done with another day of elementary school, walked down the street and headed home.
As he passed the main gate of what was originally his own home, he subconsciously paused and looked inside, just in time to see Kudou Yukiko, who had finished her exquisite makeup, about to leave.
"Mom, are you going somewhere far away?"
Kudou Yukiko, who had just pushed open the door, jumped in surprise. After seeing clearly that it was Conan, she scolded, "You brat, you almost scared me to death."
Conan pouted. "You're about to do something bad, feeling guilty."
Kudou Yukiko was a little guilty. She knew her son had extremely strong observational skills, but her acting skills weren't to be underestimated either. She brushed her hair back and said playfully: "I'm planning to go back to Gunma Prefecture for a trip."
"Gunma Prefecture? What for?"
"Shinichi, have you forgotten that your mom is from Gunma Prefecture?"
Yukiko's brows furrowed in annoyance. She bent down and pinched Conan's ear.
"Ouch, ouch! Mom, gently! Of course I know you're from Gunma Prefecture, but why do you suddenly want to go back?"
"Your grandpa and grandma passed away early. I'm going back to pay my respects, and some old classmates are also planning to gather."
"Then if you go to Gunma Prefecture, what about Dad?"
"You still remember you have a dad? Have you gone to see him in all these days?"
Facing his mother's demonic claw, Conan didn't dare resist, nodding repeatedly in submission.
Yukiko let go of him and said, "You go check on your dad these two days too. Don't let him feel neglected."
She sighed softly, feeling helpless and pained by the brokenness of their family. She had originally thought she could happily live this life, never expecting that at over thirty years old, she would still encounter such things. And the instigator of all this was none other than Shinichi, this little rascal.
"Hmm, I know, but the crime rate in Tokyo has been a bit high recently. You should also pay attention to safety."
"You still care about your mom? Don't worry, I'm going with Fujiwara Tetsu, so there won't be any danger."
As soon as her words fell, Kudou Yukiko secretly thought, How could I have said Fujiwara Tetsu's name?
As soon as Conan heard that name, he instantly shivered, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
How could Mom know Fujiwara Tetsu? He carefully recalled, but he couldn't remember how his mother and Fujiwara Tetsu might have met.
So, what exactly was the relationship between his mother and Fujiwara Tetsu?
However, Conan's thoughts were relatively simple; he didn't consider whether there might be a relationship between a man and a woman.
His only thought now was that this might be a good opportunity to investigate Fujiwara Tetsu, using his mother's connection to get close to him!
Conan immediately said, "Mom, I also haven't visited Grandpa and Grandma's graves in a long time. Wait a moment, I'll go with you!"
As he spoke, Conan ran back to Professor Agasa's house.
"Shinichi, don't..."
Kudou Yukiko grew anxious. If you come with me, how will I have the face to do those things then?
But since Shinichi had said so, she also understood that she couldn't run away. She could only stamp her feet anxiously there.
Very quickly, Conan put down his school bag. He didn't even change his clothes, urging, "Mom, let's go!"
Yukiko had no choice but to take Conan into the car, pondering how to get rid of him once they reached Gunma Prefecture.
In the northern district of Tokyo, Fujiwara Tetsu had changed his clothes and said to Haibara Ai, who was sitting in front of the computer: "Ai-chan, aren't you coming with me?"
Fujiwara Tetsu was a little surprised. For the past two months, this girl, Haibara Ai, had followed him wherever he went.
"My research has reached a critical point, I can't leave!"
Haibara Ai's eyes were fixed on the screen, her two hands rapidly typing on the keyboard. She didn't even glance at Fujiwara Tetsu.
Fujiwara Tetsu observed her carefully. She didn't seem angry, but truly as if her research had reached a critical point where she couldn't leave.
"Then take good care of yourself. Leave the cleaning to Koikawa."
"I'm not a child either. Aren't you just going for a year or two, not two days later? I can still take care of myself in two days."
Hearing Haibara Ai's impatient words, Fujiwara Tetsu said, "Alright, then I'll leave."
Haibara Ai still didn't lift her head, just waved at him.
During this period of research, Haibara Ai had also discovered some interesting things. She noticed that a certain substance might affect the cells and mitochondria after shrinking. Although Haibara Ai dared not guarantee that this would definitely restore her to her original body, it should have some effect.
"Once the drug development is complete, I'll go and try it on Kudou Shinichi first."
Tokyo Station. Fujiwara Tetsu parked the Panorama in the parking lot. Following the location Eri Kisaki told him, he first found her at the station entrance.
Eri Kisaki was wearing a capable ladies' suit. Her hair was pulled high, and she wore a pair of glasses that gave her an air of confidence and absolute female charisma, inspiring awe.
Fujiwara Tetsu took two quick steps, his gaze casually sweeping over her. Eri Kisaki was wearing a short skirt, and beneath it were a pair of perfectly shaped legs clad in flesh-colored stockings, her toes tipped with black high heels, making one's heart race.
He retracted his gaze and asked, "Ms. Eri, is it just you? Where is Ms. Kudou Yukiko?"
Fujiwara Tetsu looked around, and somewhat awkwardly, did not see Kudou Yukiko.
Eri Kisaki said unhappily, "The first thing you do when you see me is ask about Yukiko? I'm going to start wondering if you, Fujiwara-kun, will ever find a girlfriend in this life. Your words can literally infuriate women to death."
"You don't need to worry about that, Ms. Eri. I'm not looking for a girlfriend. My family has already found me a fiancée."
"You..."
Eri Kisaki let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, let's go into the station first. Yukiko is waiting for us in a coffee shop inside. Since she arrived early, she went in first."
The two walked into the station and headed towards the coffee shop.
In the coffee shop, Conan was sitting with his mother by the window. He happened to glance out the window and saw Fujiwara Tetsu and Eri Kisaki walking together.
Is that Fujiwara Tetsu? Hmm, where's the girl next to him?
Seeing that Fujiwara Tetsu wasn't accompanied by Haibara Ai, Conan was momentarily stunned, then greatly delighted!
Opportunity, opportunity has arrived!
He had always wanted to investigate Fujiwara Tetsu and Haibara Ai, but he had never found a clue. Fujiwara Tetsu's martial arts skills were too strong, making Conan afraid to secretly infiltrate his home. But now Fujiwara Tetsu and his own mother and Ms. Eri Kisaki were going to Gunma Prefecture, so only that little girl was left at his home.
Couldn't I take advantage of him not being home to sneak into his house and take a look, and by the way, investigate that girl's identity!
Compared to Fujiwara Tetsu, Conan wanted to know more about who Haibara Ai truly was.
"Mom, I suddenly remembered I have an urgent matter, so I won't go to Gunma Prefecture with you. With Fujiwara-kun by your side, I don't have to worry about your safety, and you, Fujiwara-kun, and Ms. Eri are having so much fun together."
After speaking, Conan didn't even bother with half of his coffee. He directly jumped off his chair and ran out of the coffee shop.
Yukiko's heart had originally sped up from Conan's words. What did he mean by "we're having so much fun"? This statement always felt profound.
Seeing Conan run off directly, she subconsciously shouted, "Shinichi..."
In a blink of an eye, Conan was gone.
"This kid, he really just thinks of something and does it. Just now he was going to Gunma Prefecture with me, and now he's run off."
Kudou Yukiko was a little annoyed, but mostly relieved.
Shinichi not being by her side made her feel much more relaxed. She was actually afraid of exposing herself because her son had strong observational skills.
Fujiwara Tetsu and Eri Kisaki saw a small child run out of the coffee shop. Fujiwara Tetsu pondered for a moment: "Isn't that Edogawa Conan?"
Eri Kisaki frowned: "Is that little brat? Yukiko said he's her relative's child. How did this little brat come here?"
Fujiwara Tetsu was also a little surprised, but seeing Conan run far away, he didn't bother to deal with it.
He and Eri Kisaki walked into the coffee shop. Fujiwara Tetsu recognized Kudou Yukiko at a glance.
At this moment, Kudou Yukiko was wearing a light blue fuzzy top, revealing her slender collarbones. Her long, brown pants had a long, straight cut, and the legs were very wide, extremely fashionable. Exposed at the ankle of the pants was a piece of white skin, and she wore short stockings with black high heels.
Eri Kisaki's attire was very lady-like, but too formal. Kudou Yukiko, on the other hand, was a former top actress, and her understanding of fashion far surpassed ordinary people.
Fujiwara Tetsu "excitedly" walked over. "Originally, she was a 'troublesome woman king'?"
"Fujiwara-kun, it's our first meeting. I'm sorry to make you accompany Eri and me to Gunma. It's really troublesome for you."
Kudou Yukiko smiled politely, her tone light, not at all like a woman with a high school son, but rather like a young girl.
"Not at all. Ms. Eri said it's me accompanying you. I'm too happy to be here. I've seen all your movies and TV shows, Ms. Yukiko, and you haven't changed at all from back then. You're just like my older sister."
"Hehehe..."
Kudou Yukiko covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes almost forming crescent moons.
This boy, who was only a few years older than her own son, was handsome, well-mannered in all aspects, and spoke so nicely. She hadn't experienced that kind of thing in many years, and at her current age, she was at her most thirsty. For something to happen with a boy like this, especially since he was her fan... This thought made Kudou Yukiko excited.
She was inherently a rebellious woman. Years of being with her husband had not changed her personality at all; it was only morality that prevented her from doing anything out of line.
And now, with a legitimate excuse, under 'coercion,' the little devil in her heart stirred and was gently awakened.
She subtly shifted her body, lifted her leg, and put it down in a different posture. Her backside felt a little damp.
