Explain!
Yukiko waved her hand and leaned back, her posture somewhat languid, but her eyes revealed a stern look, wanting to see what excuse her foolish son could come up with.
Conan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Mom, this really isn't entirely my fault. The situation was urgent, and I was trying to catch the criminal, which is why I accidentally caused such a big loss. Besides, this was definitely a trap set by that guy Yuzuru; he was deliberately waiting for me to take the bait!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, trying to make his words more persuasive.
"Arresting criminals? You really think you're a cop?" Yukiko scoffed. "And what makes you think that Hanyu Nan is setting you up? Why doesn't he set traps for others? Can't you look at your own reasons?"
(′?Pan?｀)
Conan was so stunned by Yukiko's words that he couldn't find a point to refute them.
However, the great detective is a great detective after all, and he quickly realized that something was wrong with what was said.
"Wait a minute, Mom, I've been wanting to ask you this for ages. When did you meet that guy, Yuzuru? I only paid him this afternoon, and you already know this evening?" Conan looked at Yukiko with a serious expression, his tone accusatory.
He already found it strange that his mother ate the spirit rice that only Yu Shengnan's family had every day.
I got beaten up back then and didn't dare to ask any more questions, but this time I'm determined to get to the bottom of it.
Yukiko, who was being questioned, remained calm and even seemed to want to laugh. "Do I need to inform you before I meet my best friend Eri's son-in-law?"
Eri Kisaki's son-in-law is naturally her daughter's boyfriend, and Eri Kisaki only has one daughter, Ran.
Conan, who had just been stabbed: "..."
Didn't we agree that he would come back to help me pursue Xiaolan? How did he end up defecting to the enemy?
"I'm your son!" Conan roared in his heart, feeling betrayed by the person closest to him.
Yukiko didn't take it seriously. "Tell me, how are you planning to earn money to pay off the debt? Do you know how much of a burden this compensation will place on your family?"
Upon hearing this, Conan's newly formed arrogance instantly dissipated.
He wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, his voice growing softer and softer: "But I still have you, Mom!" Then he looked at Yukiko pitifully, "Mom, you must have saved up quite a bit of money over the years, right?"
Conan thought to himself: It's about time I did something for my son.
However, Yukiko crossed her arms and shattered Conan's dream without hesitation, saying, "You wish! I'm saving my savings for retirement, not for you to fill this hole."
Upon hearing this, Conan deflated like a punctured balloon, drooping his head and saying weakly, "Mom, are you really that heartless?"
Seeing her son's expression, Yukiko's eyes darted around, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "It's not impossible for me to help you pay off your debts!"
Conan immediately perked up, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Really?"
"But you must promise me one thing." Yukiko paused, then continued, "You're not allowed to cause trouble for Hanyu Nana anymore. The family doesn't have enough money to help you pay compensation!"
Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad she had corrected herself in time, realizing she had almost said the wrong thing.
"How is this possible!" Conan's face turned extremely ugly. If he was to stop going after Yuzuru, he might as well not be a detective at all.
For Conan, finding the truth and bringing the criminals to justice is his mission and belief as a detective.
And Yuzuru Hanyu was the biggest war criminal in his eyes.
Therefore, bringing Yuzuru Hanyu to justice has become an obsession for Conan.
"What, you don't want to?" Yukiko raised an eyebrow, looking at Conan with a half-smile, her tone carrying a hint of threat, "Then you'd better figure out how to pay back the money yourself."
This is all for the good of his silly son. If he fights with Yuzuru Hanyu, he will only get hurt.
Yukiko sighed silently to herself, hoping that Conan would understand her good intentions.
Conan looked at his mother, who was determined not to change her mind, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised, saying, "Okay, I promise you."
"That's my good son!" Yukiko nodded with satisfaction, a relieved smile on her face, and said, "I'll go find Yuzuru later to help you pay off the debt and get the IOU back."
Conan sighed helplessly, looking somewhat dejected.
Although the matter was temporarily resolved, he still needed to think of a way to deal with Yuzuru Nanami in the future.
He couldn't possibly listen to his mother and stop causing trouble for Yuzuru.
If we let Yuzuru go like this, he will be very unwilling.
Besides, Hattori is still waiting for his latest news!
Having made up his mind and feeling carefree with no debts, Conan casually asked, "Mom, should we tell Dad about this?"
"Whatever, I've already paid for it!" Yukiko held her phone, not even looking up, focused on the screen, her tone somewhat nonchalant.
"Alright..." Conan thought about it and decided not to bother his dad's work in the US.
He had just found it strange that his mother hadn't mentioned his father recently, which would have been impossible in the past.
(Looks like Dad really upset Mom this time.) Conan thought to himself as he ran out. "Mom, I'll leave the money repayment to you. I'm heading back to the agency!" he said, disappearing through the door.
"Hmph~" Yukiko watched Conan's hurried departure, narrowed her eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.
She just came up with a great idea to get Conan to accept Hanyu Nan.
The idea gradually became clearer in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
If she is ever found out that she is with Yuzuru Hanyu, she will say that she had to use her body to pay off Conan's debts because she didn't have enough money.
Anyway, judging from the message my bad brother sent, I'm going to be stuffed into a puff pastry!
Thinking of this, Yukiko twitched her cute upturned nose.
She, Yukiko Fujimine, never reneges on her debts.
...
It was late at night, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
The bright moonlight shone down on the earth like water, covering the whole world with a layer of silver gauze.
A few sparrows, taking advantage of the moonlight, landed in the courtyard of Yu Shengnan's villa, preparing to look for some food.
Just then, several loud voices came from the second floor. The voices sounded particularly abrupt and loud in the quiet night, startling several sparrows who fluttered their wings and flew away in a panic.
After a long while, one of the bolder sparrows landed again. It cautiously looked around, its little head constantly turning, and only after confirming that there was no danger did it continue searching for food.
