Chapter 289 Kudo, your incident has been exposed (Monthly ticket plus more)
Yukiko Kudo was originally a lively person. She sat on the sofa in Jiang Xia's house for a while, and felt that although the house was clean, it was inexplicably cold and unpopular, so she unconsciously became more lively, actively finding all kinds of things to say, and her mouth never stopped.
As they chatted, she couldn't help but turn the topic back to her family.
Kudo Yukiko angrily slapped the armrest of the sofa: "I thought your uncle Yusaku was different from those scumbags who become bad when they get rich, but I didn't expect that he would cheat on me..."
These days, Kudo Yusaku always comes home drunk, and once there were fresh lipstick marks on his shirt.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, it might have been done during a social event... But now, Kudo Yukiko suspected that Kudo Yusaku had checked into a hotel without telling her.
——A few days ago, she saw a late-night credit card bill on Kudo Yusaku's desk, the purpose of which was unknown. The amount was not too large, but it was not small enough to be ignored. However, Kudo Yukiko did not find that her husband bought anything...
So the famous detective Kudo Yukiko thought hard and felt that there was only one truth - this must be the room fee of a high-end hotel!
The angry Mrs. Kudo ran away from home and tried to join her son.
Unexpectedly, when she told this matter on the phone, especially when she complained that "it was too much to check into a room in the middle of the night", Conan became hesitant, as if he knew where his father's money went, but Kudo Yukiko could not ask anything.
…
Jiang Xia's home.
In line with the principle of keeping dirty laundry in the family, and feeling a little embarrassed, Kudo Yukiko held the teacup from Jiang Xia's house, and finally skipped the lipstick + hotel room part in the middle, and jumped directly to the end: "...the father and son must have colluded, ugh! Dog man."
At this point, she suddenly realized that she had been talking nonsense, so she found the time to add, "Of course, Xiao Xia, you are definitely different," and then continued to slap the armrest angrily, "As expected, men become bad when they have money. When he apologizes to me this time, I will take care of the money!"
Jiang Xia was sitting opposite, nodding his head repeatedly and saying "You're right", but he was actually confused in his heart and didn't understand this complaint which had omitted the key part.
After thinking about it, he took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to get dessert and called Conan to ask about the situation.
This will make it easier for Conan to pick up his mother who ran away from home and forgot to bring her house key. In addition, Jiang Xia also wants to see if the encounter between the mother and son can spark a case...
Conan was hiding in the Maori Detective Agency. When he heard the news Jiang Xia told him, he was overwhelmed.
——Conan knew clearly that Kudo Yusaku certainly did not check into a hotel. The expense was actually paid by Conan's credit card as compensation for the car he damaged when he tried to kick Amuro Toru last time.
Not long ago, in order to avoid being taken to the United States by his parents, Conan once said something like "Don't worry about me!" If he turned around and swiped his parents' card... cough cough, so in order to try not to alarm his parents, he specially chose the middle of the night.
I didn't expect that the misunderstanding would deepen...
Conan felt guilty when he thought about this, and whispered to Jiang Xia on the phone: "I will give the spare key of the house to the doctor later. If you find it annoying, just let her go home by herself."
"...Okay." Jiang Xia was a little disappointed. From Conan's tone, it seemed that he didn't want to meet Kudo Yukiko. In this way, his case would also...
Jiang Xia put down the phone, found the dessert and brought it to Kudo Yukiko.
I had wanted to tell her about the key.
However, when I returned to the living room, Kudo Yukiko had already put on her coat again and was ready to go out.
Jiang Xia was stunned. What kind of operation was this, telepathy between mother and son?
However, it turned out that he overthought.
Kudo Yukiko didn't mention the house key, let alone Conan. Instead, she grabbed Jiang Xia like a man and asked, "Are you free today?"
Jiang Xia thought about his schedule and nodded.
"Then do me a small favor!" Kudo Yukiko instantly became happy. She looked at her watch and said, "It's almost time. Let's go investigate the case!"
Jiang Xia: “???”
…
A few hours later.
As a calm adult with a 17-year-old son, Kudo Yukiko suddenly came to Japan from the United States, of course not just to run away from home. But because a childhood friend in Japan asked her to help investigate something.
They said they were asking her for a favor, but both parties knew that they were actually asking Kudo Yusaku for a favor through Kudo Yukiko.
But Kudo Yukiko is still angry with Kudo Yusaku, so of course she won't go looking for him.
She originally wanted to look for her son, but she didn't expect her son to join forces with his father and help hide the late night bill...
Thinking of this, Kudo Yukiko sneered like a villain: Do you think she can do nothing about it? Who would have thought that she still has neighbors!
——Jiang Xia is good at solving cases and has a sweet mouth. Even if you can’t call her “sister” occasionally, you will use other personal pronouns to get away with it and will never call her “auntie”.
Such neighbor kids are really a must-have for home and travel.
Oh, if only he were her own son.
With this in mind, Kudo Yukiko did a tailspin and stopped the motorcycle in front of a wealthy family's compound. She said to Jiang Xia who was sitting behind her, "We're here."
Jiang Xia glanced at the unfamiliar scene around him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
I originally thought that Kudo Yukiko was just checking something nearby.
Unexpectedly, after getting on her motorcycle, the neighbor sister drove farther and farther... and was almost out of Tokyo.
Finally, he ran to Gunma Prefecture.
The good news is that Jiang Xia remembered that a murder seemed to have occurred here.
The bad news is that tomorrow seems to be Asami Endo’s “Real-life Mystery Game Party”… I hope it won’t delay the case.
However, Kudo Yukiko probably wouldn't take him back to Tokyo on a motorcycle in the middle of the night. And whether he went to the station or took a taxi, he would have to calculate the distance to get back tomorrow after 11 am.
...In order to be a pigeon with good morals, Jiang Xia sent an email to Endo Asami before entering the house, saying that she might be late.
How much later, I don’t know yet.
…
A little earlier in time.
Asami Endo was strolling around the shopping mall with a list in hand, preparing to buy everything she could to show off her cooking skills tomorrow.
They say that to capture the heart you must start with the stomach... Although this is a bit traditional, Asami Endo feels it is very practical.
As she was walking around and had almost finished her shopping, she suddenly saw two familiar-looking people in the snack area: Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.
Asami Endo instantly remembered that day at the stadium when Jiang Xia looked in the direction of Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, and her mood immediately improved.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a few big words flashed in her eyes - a stumbling block on the road to victory!
