Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Let Me Play With It Next Time

"Can you tell me now?" Amuro Tooru looked speechlessly at the Black-Clothed Man, who had become gleeful after receiving the money.

Just a mere hundred thousand, and you're this happy? Does that fit your identity as the Dark Knight?

Amuro Tooru felt a strange emotion when he saw Tsuneo in this state.

Take the Moon Shadow Island incident, for example: the Repairman cleared out more than a dozen gang strongholds overnight.

Which one of those gang Bosses wouldn't have millions in their lair? Yet, he didn't even touch a single cent.

A man of great principle, but also a very troublesome fellow...

"Sherry, or rather, Miyano Shiho, is indeed Akemi Miyano's sister, just as you suspected."

Tsuneo tucked the money away, and even the cold voice he had deliberately faked softened a bit.

Yesterday, he got a hundred thousand from Kudo, and today, he got another hundred thousand from Touko. Tomorrow, he absolutely had to buy Matsusaka beef!

"So it is," Amuro Tooru nodded and continued to ask, "Then where is she now?"

"Didn't I tell you? She's in a very safe place," Tsuneo said, tilting his head.

This guy wouldn't think that pulling out a hundred thousand would make him sell Ai, would he?

No matter what, Akemi is an old client. How could that be possible?

Amuro Tooru gave the other party a deep look, didn't press further, and changed direction, "Then perhaps you know what she was specifically responsible for in the Organization..."

Based on some recent information and the rapidly eliminated targets within the Organization, he could actually guess some things.

"She took over her parents' work and is responsible for drug research and development," Tsuneo gave a definite answer.

However, the specific information about APTX4869 absolutely cannot be revealed.

Just as he once told Yusaku, this drug would make all powerful and influential people in the world go collectively mad.

Even if it only had a one in a thousand, or one in ten thousand chance...

"The Fallen Angel's daughter..."

Amuro Tooru leaned against the back door of the bar, arms crossed, and muttered to himself.

The other party should only be eighteen years old, yet she became a coded member of the Organization.

"Let's stop here for today." Tsuneo glanced at the other side of the alley, where two drunkards seemed to be walking over, embracing two gaudily dressed women. He turned and left, ending the conversation.

Miyano Shiho, or rather, Ai Haibara, her current identity information is a secret that cannot be revealed.

This isn't a question of whether Touko can be trusted.

Tsuneo does not want to change the sisters' current lives.

Besides, he also needs a place where he can freeload meals whenever he wants...

Amuro Tooru, seeing someone approaching, also remained silent, hands in his pockets, and quietly left.

...

After kicking away two foul-mouthed, babbling hoodlums on the way, Tsuneo safely returned home.

He washed up and got into bed.

The couple upstairs had been quiet recently.

Only this morning, when some neighbors were gossiping, did he learn that the loving couple upstairs had broken up.

Now only the young man was left at home.

There shouldn't be any more strange noises.

Looking at the calm ceiling, Tsuneo closed his eyes with satisfaction.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Huh?

Tsuneo opened his eyes in confusion.

You, what are you doing to yourself?!

...

The next morning, Tsuneo, as usual, went to the small park to hit a tree, then came to Dr. Agasa's for a meal.

With hot rice to eat, he wasn't willing to buy a bag of sandwiches every day for breakfast.

"Eat quickly, I'll take you to school in a bit." Tsuneo held a large bowl of rice and said to Ai, who was watching him eat.

"Is it because your body needs too much energy?"

Ai stared at Tsuneo, frowning in thought.

The Repairman's appetite made it difficult for her, a scientist responsible for drug research in the Organization, to understand.

One person could finish a table full of food, enough for five to ten people. This was indeed very Conan-like.

"Dr. Agasa, is the person who wanted the radio host's autographed photo still online recently?" Tsuneo took a big gulp of soup, then turned to ask.

I already sent the letter.

If I get a reply and they try to run away, I'll just have to send the Dark Knight to find them!

"Yes, we've been chatting in the chat room recently." Dr. Agasa smiled and nodded, reassuring Tsuneo.

Speaking of which, the radio host's cold jokes weren't bad.

Why didn't everyone like them?

"Be sure to get along well with everyone at school!" Akemi, wearing an apron, shouted to Ai, who was in the car.

"Honestly." Once the pickup truck drove out of her sight, Ai looked speechless and took off the cute hair clip from her hair.

"Hehe." Tsuneo couldn't help but think of the rabbit pajamas when he saw this scene and laughed aloud.

His sister had shrunk, and Akemi dressed her up so beautifully every day!

"Don't laugh!" Ai glared coldly at her driver.

"Don't you like it? I saw you playing with your rabbit ears while sitting by the computer," Tsuneo said with a smile.

"I didn't!" Ai instantly broke character, her face slightly red as she retorted.

"Let me play with it next time."

"Shut up!"

...

After dropping Ai off at school, Tsuneo hummed a tune and started his daily work.

As Mihua Town's most popular Repairman, he had many people looking for him every day.

He was busy until dark.

Tsuneo was originally planning to eat out and then go home, but suddenly received a call from an old client asking him to come repair a bathroom pipe.

"Honestly."

Ever since being stared at by a certain client's husband with an eagle eye last time,

He really didn't want to receive such urgent jobs like repairing bathroom shower pipes.

But it was hard to refuse a generous old client, so he could only drive to their high-end residential area.

...

Twin Dragons Restaurant.

The Mori family of three, having just enjoyed a hearty meal, walked out of the Chinese restaurant with satisfaction.

"That was a satisfying meal. As expected, when it comes to food in China, you have to go to an authentic Chinese restaurant, right?" Mouri Kogoro turned his head left and right, smiling as he asked the two beside him.

Conan showed a speechless expression.

Eating ramen, where isn't it the same...

Uncle Mouri checked the time and found it was already 9:40. "It's so late, we have to go back quickly. Yoko-san's drama is on today!"

"Yoko-san, I'm coming back to watch you!"

After a doting smile, Uncle Mouri Ran directly across the street, completely oblivious to a speeding silver-gray sedan.

"Dad!"

"Uncle!"

Ran and Conan quickly Ran over.

Fortunately, the driver braked in time, and Uncle Mouri dodged, avoiding being hit, but stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you alright!" A tall man in a suit and glasses rushed out of the car and asked.

He looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, of medium build, with slightly dark skin, and appeared somewhat flustered because he almost hit someone.

"What are you doing, be careful!" Uncle Mouri didn't think of faking an injury. He scolded and immediately stood up.

"Honestly, don't you look where you're driving!"

Conan heard this and immediately lectured, "You're the one who wasn't watching where you were walking, and you're blaming others."

"Exactly." Ran nodded, completely agreeing with Conan's statement.

Uncle Mouri turned his head and looked dissatisfied at his two children.

Sure enough, those who stab you in the back and hold you back are always your own people...
