Conan: My Pure Love Exceeds the Limit

Chapter 23 I Don’t Want to Be the San Fernando Valley Leading Man!
"What's your mood?" Conan was lying alone on the sofa in the office, looking at the ceiling boredly. He paused and said, "It should be pretty good, right?"

At this time, Kogoro Mouri was not in the office, but ran out to play marbles.

However, before leaving, he was told that if anyone wanted to entrust him with a case, they should call him and he would come back immediately.

But he felt that it was impossible for such a firm to attract clients.

Just as he thought, there were no customers all day. However, a child gave him a fifty-yen coin and asked him to find his lost cat.
It's really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog. Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective, actually has to help a kid find a cat. It's such a waste of his talent.

So, he rejected this matter.

Not long after, my father called me.

"Are you in a good mood?" Kudo Yusaku felt relieved when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that you and Dr. Agasa have already persuaded your mother. I am relieved now."

"Have you tried to persuade Mom?" Conan shook his head. "We didn't. What happened yesterday didn't even bother Mom's feelings."

"But she went shopping with Kitahara Shinji today. She bought some things to let off some steam, so she must be in a good mood!"

It has been like this in the past.

These things were told to him by Dr. Agasa.

"Did you go shopping with Shinji Kitahara?" Upon hearing this, the smile on Kudo Yusaku's face quickly disappeared and his brows furrowed.

He knew Shinji Kitahara. Dr. Agasa had mentioned this person, and he also knew about his grudge with Shinichi.

If this had happened before, he would have had a hundred ways to get the police to charge him with murder and put him in jail.

But now, there is nothing he can do.

The only way is to kill the person to silence him, but that is not possible, so he can only be threatened by Shinji Kitahara.

However, he also learned from Dr. Agasa that Yukiko let him live in her house in order to monitor Shinji Kitahara, which he could understand.

But now, Yukiko actually went shopping with Shinji Kitahara. He couldn't understand it and even felt like there was something green on his head.

However, Yukiko did not turn green with Kudo Yusaku, but it was Kudo Yusaku who made Yukiko's hair green first.

"Yeah." Conan didn't notice that his father's tone on the other end of the phone was a little off, and continued leisurely: "The two of them went shopping. I remember they went to the Rice Flower Mall."

"But Dad, when will you come back to pick up Mom?"

"If you apologize, won't this matter be over?"

"I feel uncomfortable with her being here."

It’s not so much that he feels uncomfortable, but rather that he doesn’t want to be controlled by others, and he doesn’t want anyone to preach in his ears all the time.

He is an adult now, not a child anymore.

So I wish my mother would go back soon so that I can have some peace and quiet.

The most important thing is that he has to help couples reconcile when they quarrel, which is really troublesome.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was almost the same as Xiaolan.

He had also always advised Xiaolan not to continue and to just get a divorce.

But now that it happened to him, he began to understand Xiaolan's feelings.

"Uh," Kudo Yusaku paused, then forced a smile and said, "This matter is quite complicated and cannot be resolved with just an apology."

Yukiko didn't answer his calls, which was probably because she knew about it, so it was difficult to appease Yukiko just by apologizing.

And he also has some things to deal with here, otherwise he will be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion and even get divorced.

Because he saw a video recorder in the bedroom, and even some tabloids outside reported about him.

Although the photo was not very clear, he knew it was him.

As for the video camera, it was probably a conspiracy between the two women to record their sexual intercourse in order to threaten him or sell it.

This kind of thing is common in Los Angeles. They will do anything to become famous.

Even some movie star videos are sold to companies in the San Fernando Valley and distributed. He doesn't want to be the protagonist.

But this kind of thing is relatively easy to solve. It’s just a matter of money, and he has plenty of money!

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

If the problem cannot be solved with money, then it will be troublesome.

People in Hollywood really want to make progress!

"It's complicated?" Conan turned over and continued to lie down: "What's complicated? It's just that he drank outside and got a few lipstick marks. I knew it a long time ago."

My mother complained to him about this matter.

But he was just a high school student, what else could he do? So he just said a few words and hung up the phone.

He thought it would be the same this time.

"Yeah." Kudo Yusaku didn't explain too much. There were some things that Shinichi shouldn't know more about. Shinichi was also very perceptive, so he decided to end the call as soon as possible to prevent any clues from being discovered.

"Maybe he got jealous because he saw me socializing so often and being too close to other women."

"Originally, I wanted to go back to Tokyo to bring Yukiko back, but I still have some things to take care of here. Once I'm done, I'll go to Tokyo to bring Yukiko back."

"But before that, you have to help me calm your mother and that Kitahara Shinji. Don't be careless. I think he's a dangerous man!"

Shinji Kitahara, a man, has moved into his own house, and he lives under the same roof with Yukiko. How can it not be dangerous?

It's no wonder he thinks this way, because every man thinks this way.

"I understand. I will keep an eye on this guy. I haven't given up on finding evidence of his crime!" Conan said.

Although he was caught with something wrong, as long as he could find something wrong with Shinji Kitahara, the situation would be even and he wouldn't be so passive.

"be careful."

"I know. Let's leave it at that for now. Xiaolan is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"What a kid!" Kudo Yusaku was speechless.

The next second, the door of the office opened and Xiaolan, wearing a school uniform, walked in from outside, followed by a girl with short brown hair and a headband.

"Xiaolan, you're back."

"No, Conan, you have to call me Sister Xiaolan." Xiaolan came to Conan and said seriously, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Sonoko, my classmate."

"Uh, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko." Conan had no choice but to suppress his shyness and call them sisters.

At this moment, he really hated the man in black!
"Is this the little brat who's been staying at your house since yesterday? He really does look a bit like Shinichi!" Sonoko took a closer look, a sly glint in her eyes: "Could he be Shinichi's illegitimate child?"

"Sonoko!" Xiaolan said coquettishly: "Conan is not Shinichi's illegitimate child, he is a distant relative of the Shinichi family, so he looks a bit like him, don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe." Sonoko smiled and rubbed Conan's head vigorously: "But this brat really looks like Shinichi. I'm going to bully him severely and make him act pretentiously in front of me every day!"

Sonoko, you bastard!
Conan had a gloomy face and wanted to resist, but he was unable to do so because of his short arms and legs.

"By the way, Conan, where's Dad?"

"Uncle Maori went to play pellet games."

"Really? Business was just starting to pick up, and now he's off playing shotgun again!"

Xiaolan sighed, feeling helpless.

"Forget it, let's not worry about Dad. Conan, you must be hungry. I'll go cook."

"Yuanzi, why don't you stay and eat with us today?"

"Okay!"
