The world of science is unscientific

Yusuke Suzuki did think so; after all, Conan was the protagonist, and cases couldn't be solved without him.

Hearing this, Conan felt a surge of joy. Yusuke-san had acknowledged his abilities! Awesome! This kind of trust was almost tear-inducing!

However, on the surface, Conan remained aloof, repeatedly hinting to Suzuki Yusuke whether he wanted to know the clues and deductions he had found.

Hehe, now he knows who the murderer is, so he can give Suzuki Yusuke a slap in the face with the answer.

Unable to resist the persistent questioning, Yusuke Suzuki had no choice but to 'take the initiative' and listen to the reasoning.

Honestly, I have to listen to it again later.

Chapter 120 Osaka 3A Case

After returning and finding Kogoro Mouri, the bumbling detective also felt that it was a bad thing for him to leave the group and gave him a stern lecture.

"Mr. Mori is really strict."

"Yeah yeah."

"I also hope to become Mr. Mori's apprentice."

A group of people were whispering among themselves, and Suzuki Yusuke immediately became displeased. He smiled apologetically and went into the house, turning back to wave to Conan.

"what happened?"

As soon as Conan entered, Yusuke Suzuki grabbed him, opened the watch case, aimed, and shot Kogoro Mouri dead.

Then, he casually pushed the office chair next to him and caught the confused detective who had fainted.

Conan's face was filled with horror, while the crowd outside began to gasp in shock.

"Could it be... could it be!?"

"The sleeping Kogoro has appeared!"

Yusuke Suzuki clapped his hands. "Let's finish this quickly and get going."

Two hours later, the case was completely closed.

“Looks like we can go back to Tokyo tonight,” Conan said, carrying his small backpack, having already let go of the fact that Suzuki Yusuke had forced him to do the deduction.

Ran Mouri also sighed softly, "Yes, it's time to say goodbye to this place." Then, she looked at Yusuke Suzuki, "By the way, I'll get the photos developed together, and I'll let you know when they're ready."

"Well, please."

After buying his ticket, Kogoro Mouri yawned. "I'm so sleepy."

"Here, have this." Upon hearing this, Conan took a sour plum out of his pocket and threw it into the mouth of the confused old man, earning him a deep, iron fist in return.

"I'm dying of sourness!"

After returning to Tokyo, it was already late at night. Suzuki Yusuke first took Haibara Ai back to Professor Agasa's house before returning to his apartment.

Kimie Shimabukuro eventually returned to Mermaid Island. After spending a few days in Tokyo, she decided to go back first to give an explanation to the people she still knew in the village, so that others wouldn't think she had disappeared.

She did not tell Suzuki Yusuke when she would return.

After taking a shower, Yusuke Suzuki went straight to bed. He had had a lot of fun these past two days and had successfully avoided a case.

They used to try and take advantage of every opportunity to get a case, but now they won't even try to get a case if they have one.

Is it getting a bit too overconfident?

However, when he thought about Ai Haibara's happy smile these past two days, he felt it was all worth it.

After resting at home for a day, Yusuke Suzuki received a call from Heiji Hattori, inviting him to Osaka.

"Yusuke-nii, don't you run EW Company? A lot of great singers will be attending this time, like Yoko Okino and Mai Kuraki..."

"Mai Kuraki?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I will definitely be there."

He had almost forgotten about this person!

I copied the opening and ending themes of Detective Conan myself. I had thought about poaching Mai Kuraki to work for the company before, but I was so busy running around that I completely forgot about it.

This is a good opportunity to get to know each other.

After thinking for a moment, Yusuke Suzuki found a pen and paper and copied "Secret in my heart" and "always" from his memory.

If we just put these two songs in front of Mai Kuraki, the success rate of poaching her should be much higher, right?

Time flew by and the date for the cocktail party arrived.

Yusuke Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri's family of three arrived in Osaka together.

He had originally planned to invite Ai Haibara along, but she wasn't interested in the occasion and seemed determined not to leave the house.

He felt like he was playing a game, and Ai Haibara was just an NPC who had exhausted her energy on her last trip and needed to recover it.

In the evening, the group arrived at the K3 Hotel, where the reception was being held, where a large number of reporters had already gathered at the entrance.

"Wow, there are so many celebrities! There's Mai Kuraki and Miho Komatsu," Kogoro Mouri, a self-proclaimed fanatic, scanned the room. "Next up is my favorite, Yoko Okino!"

When Yoko Okino saw the bumbling detective smiling and waving at him, Kogoro Mouri was immediately overjoyed.

"Teacher, I'll head over now." Suzuki Yusuke said to his teacher and then left, heading straight for Kuraki Mai.

Today, Yusuke Suzuki was dressed in a black suit, and his tall and imposing figure naturally showcased his masculine charm.

Coincidentally, Mai Kuraki was also wearing a black tuxedo and talking to a man in front of her.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the man was still lingering and wouldn't leave, Suzuki Yusuke got tired of waiting any longer and went over with his wine glass.

“Miss Mai Kuraki, hello,” he said, extending his hand as the man took a breath. “My name is Yusuke Suzuki.”

"The Suzuki family..." The man was about to say something, but upon hearing this, he simply left.

"So you're Mr. Suzuki, the legendary boss of EW Company who's been missing for years?" Mai Kuraki couldn't help but laugh, her pale purple eyes quite striking.

"Missing?"

Yusuke Suzuki exclaimed that this was outrageous, asking, "Has it really gotten this far?"

"Excuse me for bothering you," he said bluntly, "It's like this, I'd like to invite you to join EW Company, I wonder..."

"Okay." Somewhat unexpectedly, Mai Kuraki agreed immediately. "Actually, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to get to know you. I really like the songs released by EW Company."

So poaching people is this easy? Suzuki Yusuke took a sip of his drink, took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Kuraki Mai. "Actually, I wrote two songs specifically for you, but I never had the chance to see them. I only rushed over from Tokyo after I learned that you would be attending this party."

Seeing that Mai's face was turning red, he realized that his words had been somewhat ambiguous.

Yusuke Suzuki quickly explained, "These two songs are special theme songs prepared for you. I just..."

"Alright," Mai Kuraki chuckled, her eyes crinkling, "So, you were already certain I'd come to your company?"

"I'm just confident that even if you don't join, I will give you these two songs for free. From now on, the copyright will be officially transferred to you."

Mai Kuraki was truly stunned. She didn't know the specifics of these two songs, but every song written by the person in front of her had made it onto the Oricon charts in Japan, with the lowest ranking being seventh.

Such a song is extremely valuable to both the singer and the company, yet the other party simply gave it to her for free.

Today was the first time she met Suzuki Yusuke, and they hadn't even been chatting for five minutes!

"Why..." Mai Kuraki suddenly became wary and took a half step back. "I'm not that kind of girl!"

"You're overthinking it."

Yusuke Suzuki smiled wryly. His thinking was simple: his songs were almost all copied from the opening and ending themes of the original dramas. Mai Kuraki had sung 21 songs for Conan in total, so what was wrong with giving him two?

Seeing that Suzuki Yusuke's expression didn't seem fake, and having never heard of anything like it before, Kuraki Mai breathed a sigh of relief and stuck out her tongue apologetically, "Sorry."

"It's okay. I sincerely hope you can join EW. This is my business card. You can contact me anytime."

After saying that, Yusuke Suzuki smiled and nodded in acknowledgment before leaving.

Chapter 121 Intolerable

Behind him, Mai Kuraki stood bewildered, holding two folded pieces of paper; there was no cloth bag for carrying anything on her dress.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the restroom first.

Upon looking at them, she felt a strange familiarity with the two songs and couldn't help but sing along with the marked scales.

This is practically a song written in her heart!

Where should I put it?

By the way, in my heart...

Back at the venue, Mai Kuraki's face was still a little flushed.

"Mai, what's wrong?" Yoko Okino couldn't help but gossip when she saw her best friend's face turn red. "Did you meet a guy who makes your heart flutter?"

"No, I didn't..." Mai Kuraki glanced subconsciously in Yusuke Suzuki's direction, "I just... I just accidentally drank too much."

Meanwhile, Suzuki Yusuke was enjoying wine with his teacher, while also wondering if there was any connection between Komatsu Miho and Komatsu Miho, as mentioned by the bumbling detective earlier. He had somewhat forgotten about it.

Never mind, I'll test her a bit.

This time, his entrance was slightly more elegant than before, because Miho Komatsu was clearly getting impatient with the man in front of her.

To his even greater surprise, when Komatsu Miho saw him, she was first stunned, then hesitated, and finally apologized before coming to his side.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Suzuki?"

Noticing the unease in the other person's tone, Suzuki Yusuke smiled slightly, "Hmm, you seem to know me."

"yes..."

Miho Komatsu opened her mouth as if to speak, but seemed to be worried about something and couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Why don't we go over there and get another drink?" Suzuki Yusuke didn't know what to do either, and since he had just finished his drink, he decided to use that as an excuse.

The other person seems to have something they want to say but can't bring themselves to say it. It's likely that the current environment isn't suitable for them to say it, so they should try somewhere else.

The two walked side by side in silence for a while before Miho Komatsu finally spoke up, “Mr. Suzuki, actually, I’ve always had a special feeling about your novel ‘The Mystery’. It feels very familiar, I really like it, and I’m also quite disappointed.”

Is this for real...? Yusuke Suzuki is a little dizzy. Is it even possible to sense something like this?

"Mystery" is a song sung by Miho Komatsu for Conan, and it is also her debut single!
