Chapter 447

Regardless of the process, at least Usoppō Saiki finally got to eat.

But he was probably the only one still in the mood to eat. The murderer's friends were all in a bad mood, and they hugged and cried with the criminal who was about to be taken away by the police. Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki followed Kogoro Mouri and watched him exchange pleasantries with the local police.

Amuro Tooru took advantage of this short time to bring Usaku Saiki to the kitchen and quickly made him a large bowl of cold noodles.

"Thank goodness it was cold noodles," Amuro Tooru complained. "If it were any other kind of noodles, they would have been soggy by now."

Bo Yezaki remained silent, focusing on eating his noodles.

I must say, Amuro Tooru's skill is truly exceptional. The seasoning sauce for this cold noodle dish is so good that he wants to eat it for two more days—two days is enough, eating it for three days would be too much.

Amuro Tooru was unaware that Usaku Saiki was being picky in his mind. He just watched Usaku Saiki eating so comfortably, remained silent for a while, and hesitated whether he should also have a couple of bites.

Usoba Saiki is one thing, but he didn't exercise much before. However, he played tennis for a long time and his physical strength was greatly depleted. He finally managed to cook a meal and then someone died, so he rushed off to help solve the case... He was fine when he was busy, but now that he has some free time, he feels very hungry.

Moreover, given the current atmosphere, it's uncertain whether we'll even eat later. If we don't eat now, we might go hungry until evening.

However, Amuro Tooru felt inexplicably resistant when he thought about sneaking food with Usaku Saiki.

...Never mind! I'll just have to go hungry for now!

After Usoppei finished eating and Amuro Tooru finished washing the dishes, the others finally came to the restaurant.

The criminal has been taken away by the police. Since the criminal has already confessed, the process of taking his statement is relatively simple, and everyone doesn't need to make a special trip to the police station.

But this relief did not improve everyone's mood. The group remained silent, making Ran Mouri and her friends, who had only met the murderer that day, feel awkward and unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, someone's stomach growled, and Ran Mouri quickly seized the opportunity to say, "Is everyone hungry? We've already prepared the food, why don't we eat something first? It's not good for your health to stay hungry."

And so, everyone finally sat down at the table and prepared to eat.

Usakabe Saiki said politely, "I only need a little bit, I can't eat any more right now."

Ran Mouri's gaze softened as she looked at Saiki Usui: "Eat as much as you can, you can't keep going hungry."

Brother Bo Ye must have been affected by what happened earlier, which is why he can't eat now... Sigh, Brother Bo Ye is such a kind and good person.

Tooru Amuro, who understood Ran Mouri's gaze, was speechless.

Conan Edogawa, who had guessed that Usui Saiki must have stolen some food, otherwise he wouldn't be reacting like this: "…………"

Damn it! Sometimes knowing too much only makes you sick!

Having reached this point, Sonoko Suzuki had lost interest in playing tennis. However, leaving immediately would not be a good idea, so she stayed for a meal. After the meal, she politely took her leave and returned to her villa.

On her own turf, Sonoko Suzuki could finally say whatever she wanted: "So things still went wrong—what happened! I just wanted to have some fun!!!"

Usoppei suggested, "Don't bring a detective; that will greatly reduce the chances of something going wrong."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded in deep agreement: "I think so too... wait, no, actually I'm a detective too, right?"

Bo Yezaki raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Conan Edogawa realized something, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, yelling, "Sonoko-neechan!"

Sonoko Suzuki, interrupted, looked at Conan Edogawa impatiently: "What?"

"Um, um!" Conan Edogawa racked his brains urgently, "Shouldn't we go back today?"

Sonoko Suzuki, hands on her hips, said, "What, are you scared? Anyway, the matter is resolved, so of course I'm going to continue practicing my tennis! But not today, I'm afraid I can only start tomorrow... Mr. Amuro, is that alright?"

Towards the end, Sonoko Suzuki's tone softened.

Amuro Tooru, who had accompanied them to the Suzuki family villa, smiled good-naturedly and said, "Of course."

Conan Edogawa took a deep breath silently.

Since Amuro Tooru was invited by Kogoro Mouri and arrived a little earlier than them, he naturally stayed with them as well.

Given that, he couldn't relax.

Just now, Sonoko Suzuki said that she considers herself a detective... This is a topic that needs to be guarded against!

Why did he go to such lengths to persuade Brother Bo Ye to help? Wasn't it just to prevent Bourbon from observing the "Sleeping Detective" too closely?

Especially since Kogoro Mouri needs to sleep to solve cases, it's one thing, but Sonoko Suzuki also needs to sleep and can't remember anything when she wakes up... If Bourbon didn't notice such obvious oddities, he would have to wonder how she got her codename.

Unfortunately, Conan Edogawa changed the subject, but Tooru Amuro had already become suspicious.

After answering Sonoko Suzuki's question, he smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, is Ms. Sonoko also a detective? Then we can be considered colleagues."

This topic immediately piqued Sonoko Suzuki's interest, since it meant she would have something new in common with the handsome guy!

Sonoko Suzuki immediately replied, "Yes! I've encountered cases before, and I'm the one who solves them when the police are stuck! I'm known as the Queen of Deduction!"

Amuro, Japanese police officer Toru: "...I see. What kind of cases were they?"

Sonoko Suzuki has a good memory: "The first case I solved was at my teacher's wedding. My teacher was poisoned... and it turned out the murderer was my teacher's fiancé!"

That was her favorite teacher! Even if she didn't solve the case, she could never forget it after something like this happened.

Amuro showed a curious expression and said enthusiastically, "Is that so! How did Sonoko-san solve the case?"

"Uh..." Sonoko Suzuki, who had just been talking excitedly and enthusiastically, suddenly stopped talking.

No, there's nothing I can do! Although she remembered the general details of the case, she had completely forgotten how she deduced the killer's thought process!

Forget about the thought process, she couldn't even remember how she suddenly had the idea to go and solve the case!

After a two-second silence, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't think of a reason and could only awkwardly say, "Sorry... I forgot."

Conan Edogawa was so nervous that his breathing became shallow.

Of course he knew that Sonoko Suzuki couldn't answer, because he had completely stunned her. Even Kogoro Mouri, a detective, couldn't figure out the case when asked about the one he helped solve. Sonoko Suzuki, being a complete novice, was even less likely to be able to answer.

Hopefully, Bourbon won't press the matter further...

Contrary to expectations, Amuro Tooru's tone was full of surprise: "Forgot?"

He felt that even if he forgot the clues to the cases he had solved for a while, he should be able to recall the general outline after a little thought, instead of being unable to say a word for a long time.

There's a problem.

Conan Edogawa wanted to continue changing the subject, but in front of a smart person, it would be too obvious for him to steer the conversation away from Sonoko Suzuki being a detective twice in such a short time. So he could only hold back and look at Saiki Usaku, trying to make his dear Usaku understand his hint.

Help me, Brother Bo Ye!

Unfortunately, he noticed that his dear Bo Ye was looking down at his phone and not making eye contact with him at all, and it was uncertain whether he had even heard the conversation.

Amidst Conan's despair, Ran Mouri spoke up: "You can't blame Sonoko for forgetting, because she seemed to be asleep when she was solving cases..."

Conan Edogawa closes his eyes in pain.

It's over, it's all over.

He worked so hard all day... but he never expected that Sonoko Suzuki herself would be the biggest weakness.

It was his fault. He shouldn't have used the readily available materials to anesthetize Sonoko Suzuki in order to solve the case.

Thinking back carefully, the reason he exposed himself to Hattori Heiji was because he had drugged Hattori Heiji… Ahhh! He's learned his lesson! This time he's really learned his lesson! He'll never easily drug outsiders again!!!

"oh?"

Sure enough, Amuro Tooru immediately perked up: "So you're just like Mr. Mori? You both like solving cases while you're asleep? What's that like?"

Sonoko Suzuki was a little embarrassed because she really couldn't remember. She could only vaguely say, "It's probably because I suddenly became very smart... Um, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest... Mr. Amuro, just pick any empty room."

Amuro Tooru didn't press the issue further, but readily gave up asking questions and nodded with a smile.

Conan Edogawa then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was covered in sweat.

Bo Yezaki put down his phone and stretched: "What's for dinner?"

Amuro Tooru: "...Didn't you just finish eating?"

Ran Mouri said sympathetically, "Bo Ye-ge eats too little. He must get hungry easily, right?"

Toru Amuro: "…………"

This afternoon, Bo Yezaki ate three meals in total, in bits and pieces!

"No, it's not that," Bo Ye Saiki said honestly. "I just had a craving, and suddenly wanted some fried chicken or something..."

Amuro Tooru received the hint and said helplessly, "I'll go to the kitchen to see what ingredients we have... Miss Ran, you should also go and rest. It's alright, I've been on vacation for so long, I should practice my skills, otherwise I might get complaints from customers when I go back to Poirot."

Usaku Saiki also said, "Ran, why don't you go and comfort Sonoko? She seems to be really upset because of all the accidents that happen when she goes out to play. Mr. Amuro, I'll take care of things here!"

Ran Mouri thought about it and agreed.

Conan Edogawa wanted to stay, but Ran Mouri touched his forehead: "I think you should go change your clothes, why—"

I was covered in sweat.

Conan Edogawa promptly interrupted, "Alright, let's go."

With no other option, Conan Edogawa had to return to his room, leaving behind Saiki Usaba and Tooru Amuro.

Once Amuro Tooru was sure the footsteps had faded into the distance, he glanced at Usui Saiki and said, "Your so-called 'I'm here' doesn't mean 'I'm here to taste', does it?"

Bo Yezhai nodded: "You really understand me."

Toru Amuro: "…………"

Eat up, you living dad! Who can outeat you?

However, this also meant that the two of them were alone again, and Amuro Tooru thought it would be a good opportunity to talk things over.

So when they got to the kitchen, the door closed, and Amuro Tooru asked...

"Does Conan Edogawa know that you know his identity?"

Usoppō Saiki raised an eyebrow.

This question was a bit convoluted, but it hit the nail on the head. His answer even revealed Conan Edogawa's true identity; he truly is an intelligence operative…

But Conan Edogawa's acting skills are really terrible!

--------------------

I kept adjusting my sleep schedule, and it turned into insomnia... It's terrifying.

Conan, Danger

Actually, Amuro Tooru is basically certain that Conan = Shinichi Kudo, but there's no evidence, and it's all rather bizarre...
