Mihana Airport.
"Young people these days, really..."
Kudo Yusaku, who had just come out of the airport, looked at the note in his hand with a helpless expression. After thinking for a moment, he carefully tucked the note into the novel he was writing.
Anyway, Yukiko isn't really interested in reading, so there's no need to worry that she'll accidentally discover this little secret.
As one of the world's leading mystery novelists, Yusaku Kudo has always handled details with exceptional care.
Actually, the reason for such caution is mainly because of something that happened before.
That time, he had too much fun outside and ended up drinking himself into oblivion. When Yukiko went to pick him up, she forgot to clean the lipstick stain on her neck.
This oversight was serious; the meticulous Yukiko immediately noticed something was wrong, and the two had a cold war for several days as a result.
Since then, Yusaku Kudo has learned his lesson.
Before going home each time, he would carefully check his entire body for any marks or signs of illness, only daring to go home with peace of mind after making sure everything was in order.
After finishing all the cleanup work, Kudo Yusaku stood there, took a deep breath, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes: "It's been such a long time since I've been back!"
Everything is so different now compared to how he remembers it.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number. The voice on the other end of the line was that of his son, Shinichi Kudo, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Hey, Shinichi, where are you?"
"Dad? Did you find out anything about those men in black and Hanyu Nan?"
Conan, who had just finished school, immediately thought that there was news about the matter he had asked his father to handle when he received the phone call.
"No, not at all..."
Kudo Yusaku scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. Although he did have some status and position in various circles, he was still slightly inferior to those organizations and individuals who had become unscrupulous and disregarded the law.
"I'm just asking if your mom is coming back? I'm already in Japan."
"Dad, you're actually back!" Conan was at Professor Agasa's house at the moment. Hearing this, he was first surprised, then he pouted. "Mom is probably having a great time somewhere right now. Instead of wasting your time coming back to bother her, why don't you help me investigate the organization?"
He heard Hattori say a couple of days ago that there have been signs of organized activities in Osaka recently.
"Hehe, isn't it because my novel is about to be successfully adapted that I came back to relax and also to see you?"
Speaking of relaxation, Yusaku Kudo unconsciously clenched his fist while holding the phone, and those unforgettable images involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
That's huge!
"Okay, it's good that you're back and keeping an eye on Mom. Don't let her keep causing us trouble. I'm already exhausted from dealing with the organization."
Conan said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll call your mom and ask where she is so I can come find her."
Yusaku Kudo still loves his son.
After all, he knows Yukiko's personality too well!
...
A Li's house.
As soon as Conan hung up the phone, Professor Agasa, who had been listening quietly the whole time, walked over with his big, round belly sticking out.
"Shinichi, if I listen to you, your dad's back too?"
"Yes, I'm back to enjoy myself."
Conan lay on the sofa, giving a listless reply, not taking the matter too seriously.
The kind-hearted Professor Agasa, however, thought differently. Upon hearing that Yusaku Kudo had also returned, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily: "It's good that you're back!"
These past few days, he's seen Yukiko staying alone in the country, and he's been worried that his friend's marriage is in serious trouble.
After all, long-term separation, especially living in different countries, is almost certain to lead to problems.
But now things are alright, Yusaku Kudo is back, so there's still room for things to be salvaged, and he can finally relax.
"Hey, Shinichi, what's wrong with your hair?" After worrying about everything, Professor Agasa finally noticed something was off about Conan on the sofa.
"Heh!" Conan touched a bald patch on his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "What else could it be? It was done by some crazy woman!"
He felt extremely depressed when he recalled what happened in class today.
All I did was notice that Ai Haibara, that crazy woman, seemed to be in a bad mood, so I observed her a bit more.
Who knew that he would be blocked by the other party as soon as school was over, and without saying a word, that guy forcibly pulled out a whole bunch of his hair.
They even went so far as to say that they would go back and conduct an experiment to see how effective aptx-4869 was.
Thinking back to the unpleasant feeling of having his hair pulled, Conan couldn't help but shudder. At the same time, he muttered to himself, "That crazy woman, she must have been dumped, that's why she always has such a cold face!"
As for why they didn't say it in front of Ai Haibara, that's naturally because...
I wouldn't dare!
Yuzuru's family are all crazy; they'd really hang him up and beat him to death!
He's the famous detective Conan, but he would never commit such a certain death.
"Haha, being bald is fine too. Look at me, I'm bald too, aren't I?"
After listening to Conan's complaints, Professor Agasa touched his bald head and laughed heartily.
"Don't you know how old you are?" Conan said helplessly. "And Dr. Agasa, you're on the other side! Why are you speaking up for Ai Haibara?"
"Uh... well, of course I'll help you! But I think Ai is a pretty nice kid, isn't she?"
Professor Agasa also frequently meets with Ai Haibara, and the members of the "Teenage Suicide Squad" always like to bring Ai Haibara to his house to play.
In Professor Agasa's eyes, Ai is not only smart and polite, but also very sensible.
Moreover, she is often able to offer very constructive suggestions for her strange inventions.
This is much more useful than Conan, who only comes to freeload!
"A nice person? You mean pulling my hair?" Conan looked at Professor Agasa in disbelief, thinking he must be crazy.
Someone who came out of the Black Organization and moved into Yuzuru Hanyu's house couldn't possibly be a good person!
"When it comes to experiments, having human subjects is definitely better," Dr. Agasa said confidently.
He believes that after so many years of working in the experimental field, he has some authority to speak on this matter.
Conan nearly fainted with anger upon hearing this: "Then why doesn't she just brush her hair back?"
“It will hurt!” Professor Agasa replied matter-of-factly.
"Nonsense! I'm not in pain! I deserve to be her guinea pig!"
…………
Meanwhile, after finishing his call with Conan, Yusaku Kudo called Yukiko again, intending to surprise her, but no one answered after several attempts.
