Not long after, Hoshino Hitomi saw Kudo Yukiko on the beach, so she went up to her and called her.

"Yukiko-sister."

Yukiko Kudo stopped walking when she heard the voice and asked Hitomi Hoshino, "Hey, Hitomi, did you see Shinichi just now?"

Hearing this, Hoshino Hitomi shook her head and replied, "I looked around, but I didn't see him."

Kudo Yukiko sighed helplessly and said, "Really, this kid...Xiaotong, you should take a rest first. It's too much trouble for you. You've been looking for a long time."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired yet. I'll continue looking with Sister Yukiko."

Soon, Hoshino Hitomi saw Sera Masumi not far in front of them, with French fries stuck in each nostril and five French fries in his mouth. He made a very exaggerated expression to Akai Shuichi.

Akai Hide calmly taught: "Remember, don't play with food."

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi was stunned on the spot, with a look of doubt on his face as he thought: This is not okay to lie.

At this time, Akai Mary had come behind Sera Masumi and said in a deep voice: "Masumi, what are you doing?"

Sera Masumi was startled, and all the fries in her mouth and nose suddenly fell to the ground. She turned around and looked up at Akai Mari, "Mom..."

Akai Mari wiped Sera Masumi's face with a handkerchief and said, "You are a girl after all. Really, your nose is covered with salt from the chips."

"Yes, I'm sorry." said Sera Masamune.

Soon, Kudo Yukiko and Hoshino Hitomi arrived near the Akai family.

Since Hoshino Hitomi is still a member of the organization, she doesn't want to attract too much attention from Akai Mary and cause unnecessary trouble for the time being.

Hoshino Hitomi simply pretended to be absent-minded and followed not far from Kudo Yukiko.

Kudo Yukiko smiled and walked forward, curiously asking, "Hey, are those kind of jokes popular in the UK now?"

"Hmm?" Mary Akai and Masumi Sera looked at Yukiko Kudo when they heard the voice.

Kudo Yukiko looked at Akai Mary and continued, "You are British, right?"

Upon hearing this, Akai Mary's expression became a little more serious, and a hint of vigilance immediately flashed in her eyes.

Yukiko Kudo explained: "Food that is cut into strips, fried, and then sprinkled with salt is called Fried potato in Japan and French fries in the United States."

“But you just said chips, so I guess you’re from England where they have fish and chips.”

Kudo Yukiko bent down slightly, then asked with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. May I ask if you have seen our child?"

Yukiko Kudo described him as "a boy wearing green beach pants. I think he was with a girl of the same age."

"I don't know." Akai Mary replied.

"Is that so..." Kudo Yukiko said helplessly.

Kudo Yukiko stood up, looked around, and couldn't help complaining, "Really? Where did they go?"

"Sorry to bother you." Kudo Yukiko then bent down again and said to Akai Mary.

"No." Akai Mary responded.

Kudo Yukiko then turned her head to look at Hoshino Hitomi and said softly, "Xiao Tong, you should stay here in the shade for a while and see if Shinichi will pass by. I will continue to look for him somewhere else. Sorry for bothering you~"

"Okay, okay~" Hoshino Hitomi nodded slightly, agreed obediently, then turned and left.

Hoshino Hitomi walked slowly to a corner next to several shops, leaned against the wall, stared at the crowd, looking for Kudo Shinichi.

Shuichi Akai turned his head slightly and stared at Hoshino Hitomi's figure in a daze for several seconds.

It didn't take Shuichi Akai long to recognize Hoshino Hitomi, the very interesting girl he rescued on the bridge when he was in the United States seven years ago.

Akai Shuichi's mouth curled up slightly, thinking: Oh, is this such a coincidence? This is even more interesting.

"Shinichi, where are you?" Kudo Yukiko shouted as she walked.

Mary Akai and Masumi Sera looked at Yukiko Kudo's receding back.

"Heh~"

Then they heard Akai Shuichi chuckle, and Akai Mary and Sera Masumi immediately looked at Akai Shuichi.

Akai Shuichi said jokingly, "This country is really safe. Even that ordinary person just now could find out where you were born just by listening to the words you used."

Akai Shuichi looked at Akai Mari and said calmly: "There is no such thing as a safe country in this world, Mom."

When Akai Mari heard this, her dark green eyes narrowed slightly under her sunglasses.

Akai Shuichi said calmly, "But there's no need to worry. Before those guys who murdered my father find out who I am, I will send them to the bottom of hell."

Then a childish little boy's voice came into the ears of several people, "It's super obvious." The person who spoke was Kudo Shinichi.

When Hoshino Hitomi saw Kudo Shinichi, she sighed slightly and walked slowly forward.

She had finally waited for the death to come, and her flowers were almost withered after waiting for so long.

The three members of the Akai family all looked towards Kudo Shinichi. Kudo Shinichi pointed his right index finger at Akai Shuichi with a serious look on his face: "I can tell at a glance that you, big brother, are actually a sad clown."

The three members of the Akai family were full of doubts and asked: Sad...sad clown?

When Hoshino Hitomi heard Kudo Shinichi say that Akai Shuichi was a sad clown, although she instantly knew that Kudo Shinichi had misunderstood, she couldn't help but think of Akai Shuichi's complicated love affair.

Hoshino Hitomi thought to herself: Hmm... well, to some extent, Kudo Shinichi is right, Akai Shuichi is indeed quite a clown.

Xiaoyi: ...Is it really okay to say this as your goal for the strategy?

Then Kudo Shinichi started his personal reasoning show:

"Because I was just listening to what my big brother said. You said you have been to many countries in the world, right? I think the only people who would travel around like this are members of a circus."

"And when I saw my elder brother's left hand, an idea suddenly occurred to me. The marks on the back of your left hand are common scars for people who play the accordion."

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai raised his left hand and looked at it.

"My father told me that because you have to pull the guitar body to inject air while pressing the keys to play, that's why the belt often rubs against the back of your hand and leaves marks on it."

When Akai Shuichi heard this, he slowly sat up from the recliner.

Kudo Shinichi continued to reason, "In circus performances, there are often clowns playing the accordion."

"Also, there are many different clowns in the circus, but the only one with straight lines and tears on his face is the sad clown."

"Brother, your left eye clearly has traces of tear makeup. I guess you forgot to wipe it off because you wanted to go to the beach quickly, right? But I won't be fooled by you."

Kudo Shinichi pointed his finger at Akai Shuichi again and said confidently: "Brother, you are the sad clown, admit it quickly."

After Kudo Shinichi finished speaking, Akai Shuichi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha..."

"Hehe~" After listening carefully to Kudo Shinichi's reasoning, Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but laugh softly.

Hoshino Hitomi then looked at Kudo Shinichi with a smile on her face, a hint of pity flashed across her eyes, and she thought: The reasoning is quite exciting, but it's a pity that the direction is wrong.

Moreover, this endless flow of reasoning almost made her fall asleep.
