"Are you saying Azu the Bandit destroyed the drug processing Factory, and then forced you with a gun to destroy the drugs?"
"It sounds outrageous, but I know that's how it is!"
"After all, it's not the first time that guy has done something like this."
...
Inspector Megure faced the testimonies given by Baishi Hui and the others and believed them without hesitation.
In his opinion, these people were all good kids, there was no reason for them to lie to him!
Shinichi goes without saying, he has been helping him solve cases for free since his Dad started.
Ran even more so, her Dad was his former colleague, there was no reason for her to lie.
And these two people, Baishi Hui and Conan, have also made multiple appearances recently, arresting criminals.
Not to mention there's also Hattori Heiji, the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief, his status is right there, would he have a reason to lie about this matter?
"Inspector Megure, I still have something to ask of you." Yukiko, disguised as Shinichi, said awkwardly, "I've been targeted by some criminals recently, so it's not convenient for me to show my face... therefore, please don't report me in this case."
"If possible, it's best not to record it in the case file either."
"This..." Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, as a Criminal Police, he should truthfully record the scene situation and not omit any details of the crime scene.
But then again, have the Kudo father and son helped him little over the years?
They helped him solve so many cases for free, helping him meet quite a few KPIs.
If he didn't agree to such a small request, would he even be a person?
What's more... he might have to ask them for help again in the future.
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Okay, no problem! I was wondering why I haven't seen you much lately, Kudo, I didn't expect you to be involved in such a big matter."
"Yes, before the case is solved... I don't even dare to go to school." "Shinichi" said quite helplessly. He said this not only for Inspector Megure but also for Ran and the others.
"Thank you so much!" 'Shinichi' let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, there's nothing more for you here. I'll have someone drive you home!" Inspector Megure was worried about something happening on the way, so he called a few police officers to drive them home separately.
Heiji had to take a night bus back to Osaka, so before he left, he called out to "Shinichi": "Kudo, come to Osaka next time! We'll continue our competition, and don't forget to call that kid Conan!"
"Okay! Brother Heiji!" Conan readily agreed.
After saying goodbye to "Shinichi", Ran, and Baishi Hui, he got into a police car and returned to the Kudo Residence.
When he got home, KudoYusaku was already waiting on the sofa.
After seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, "Did things go smoothly?"
"Ah, it didn't go smoothly at all, I didn't even say more than ten sentences to Ran today!!" Yukiko said, tearing off the fake face, and said tiredly, "Encountering two cases in one day really exhausted me. This Detective work... is really not something a person should do."
"What happened?" Yusaku was extremely curious when he heard this!
"Let Shinichi tell you... I'll change my clothes first, and then take a bath." Yukiko said, dragging her tired body towards the room.
After pouring himself a glass of water, Conan sat down next to Yusaku and recounted what happened today.
After listening, Yusaku reminded him, "Conan, everyone has their own secrets, it's better not to pry too deeply into some things."
"Take yourself for example... you don't really think you're disguised very well, do you?"
"Huh?" Conan was greatly surprised and said, "Am I not disguised well?"
"To be honest... you haven't inherited any of Yukiko's acting skills." Yusaku looked at his son, who had no self-awareness, quite helplessly.
He said, "Do you think a first-grader would do something like tracking Azu the Bandit?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that Osaka boy probably already suspects you now."
"Ah this..." Conan was instantly stunned.
Then he remembered that when his Dad and Mother "kidnapped" him, after Baishi Hui came to save him, he didn't probe into his secret, only saying, "Tell me when you want to."
At this moment, he realized that his behavior was not like a child!!
"So... Baishi actually felt that I wasn't like a first-grader a long time ago, but he just didn't pry." Conan only realized this matter at this moment.
Thinking of his several attempts to test, he suddenly felt like a clown!
Yusaku said, "That friend of yours is a smart person... Some things are seen through but not spoken, and everyone remains good friends."
"..." Conan scratched his head and found that he couldn't refute it!
He nodded and said, "Dad, you're right... I'll try not to pry into other people's secrets in the future."
"The top priority now is still to find those Black-Clad Men!"
Yusaku was very happy to see Conan understand so quickly, feeling that his son had become sensible again.
...
The next day at noon, Teitan High School, Class 2B.
Baishi Hui, Ran, and Sonoko gathered together to eat their bento boxes as usual.
Bringing up what happened yesterday, Sonoko was greatly surprised: "Shinichi went to the agency? You were kidnapped? How did so many things happen to you after not seeing you for a day?"
"Who says not?" Ran sighed softly and said, "I really don't want to experience something like this a second time..."
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Baishi Hui, then quickly shifted her gaze away.
"What about Uncle Mouri? Where did he go?" Sonoko was very curious about this question.
"He got drunk!! He only came back when we returned, and he was yelling for me to make him hangover soup!" Ran said with an unhappy expression when she mentioned this, "Then I confiscated all the money Conan's Mother gave him!"
"I completely agree!" Sonoko stood firmly on Ran's side and said somewhat speechlessly, "If he hadn't spent money so carelessly, this kind of misunderstanding wouldn't have happened!"
"Indeed." Baishi Hui agreed with Sonoko's conclusion.
The occurrence of this incident was a complete and utter misunderstanding.
If Mouri Kogoro had honestly stayed inside the agency, none of these things would have happened at all.
But then again, if this incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have known that Moon Shadow Island was actually connected to the CIA.
No wonder the Liquor Organization knew about the situation on Moon Shadow Island but didn't dare to touch them at all... They were also afraid of causing trouble, the CIA never talks about evidence.
No wonder Gin was so generous as to directly hand over the information to Akemi.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, he was pulled back by Sonoko.
"Hui, Shinichi asked us to hang out this afternoon, are you free?" Sonoko asked softly.
"Unfortunately, I'm not free this afternoon, I can't go. You guys hang out!" Baishi Hui declined, he had to meet Akemi this afternoon and didn't have time to attend the gathering.
Secondly, even if he had time, he didn't want to go.
Baishi Hui was very clear about what KudoYukiko was thinking, it was nothing more than wanting to keep him as her daughter-in-law!
He was too lazy to play any male competition games with the other party.
Whether it's dating or doing other things, he has to follow his own rhythm.
Once he follows someone else's rhythm, he's likely to have bad luck!
What's more... Yukiko has a fatal problem!
She can disguise herself as KudoShinichi, but she is not KudoShinichi after all.
To give a more extreme example, let her and Ran be locked in a room, and Ran has also eaten 'I Love One Piece of Wood'.
Even if Yukiko is given such an opportunity, she won't be able to produce anything and can only stare blankly.
