Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

I felt a pang of envy again, like someone eating lemons!

A moment later, he couldn't help but frown again.

He felt like he recognized the woman wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat!

She even reminds me a bit of my own mother!

Wow—that can't be!

Conan shook his head vigorously and looked again in the direction the sports car had gone, only to find that the taillights had completely disappeared.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

Heiji Hattori looked at Conan, who had stopped, with a concerned expression.

"nothing!"

Clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts, Conan couldn't believe it no matter how hard he tried.

So he dismissed his earlier thought as a delusion!

However, he stopped again after taking only a few steps.

A black Honda pulled up beside him, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing a face he knew very well.

"dad?!"

……

Tokyo is not too far from Gunma Prefecture; it takes about two hours by car.

With Yukiko's speed, she shortened the time by half an hour.

We soon arrived at a large Japanese-style mansion!

That is, the home of Hiromi Yabuuchi, Yukiko's childhood friend.

"Yukiko, it's been so long! I didn't expect you to get here so quickly!"

A woman seemed to have been waiting at the door for a while. As soon as Yukiko got out of the car, she immediately came up to her warmly.

She is Hiromi Yabuuchi, Yukiko's childhood playmate and elementary school classmate; the two had a very good relationship.

"Of course! If it's Ami's request, I'll come even if it's from the other side of the world!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, turned their attention to the little boy next to Yukiko.

Luo Tian's [Succubus Aura] and [Cao Cao's Traitor Aura] are equally effective on Yabuuchi Hiromi, who is already a married woman.

It was only our first meeting, but I already had a very high level of liking for them!

However, the woman in front of him did not meet Luo Tian's aesthetic standards, so he did not do anything and just quietly looked at her.

"Yukiko, this can't be you and..."

"no!"

Yukiko, of course, could predict what Hiromi Yabuuchi was going to say, and quickly interrupted her.

She didn't want her man to be taken advantage of by Yusaku Kudo!

Even if it's just about how you address someone!

"This is Luo Tian, ​​a distant relative of mine. His experiences are quite tragic..."

Picking up the little boy, Yukiko recounted his backstory with great emotion.

This made Hiromi Yabuuchi's eyes redden, and she immediately shed tears of sympathy.

"Yukiko, you...you're still as kind as ever!"

She choked back tears as she gently patted the little boy's head and praised Yukiko's selfless act.

"I consider Xiao Luo my closest relative!"

Yukiko smiled and nuzzled the little boy's cheek, looking extremely affectionate.

At this moment, an old man came out of the house. He was frail and walked with a limp, followed by a burly, dark-skinned man.

He wasn't just dark-skinned like Osaka Black Chicken; he was a complete black guy.

"We have guests!"

When the old man walked into the courtyard, he happened to see Luo Tian and Yukiko, two strangers.

"Yes! Uncle Yoshifusa, this is Yukiko. She used to come to our house to play a lot when she was little! Do you remember her?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi stepped aside and answered softly.

Although she called him "uncle," it was easy to tell from her expression that she wasn't very familiar with this old man.

"Uncle Yifang, it's been a long time!"

Yukiko is very polite when facing her elders.

He put away his usual mischievous demeanor and greeted the other person.

However, Yoshifusa Yabunouchi said that he had lived abroad for too long and couldn't remember many things from the past.

After saying that, he called the guy behind him to go back into the house.

"Amei, who is this person?"

After the two left, Yukiko, unable to contain her curiosity, finally asked.

"That black man is a close friend that my uncle met in Brazil, despite the age difference, but that's not the point!"

With the old man gone, Hiromi Yabuuchi suddenly became agitated.

"Yukiko, don't you think my uncle doesn't look like my uncle at all?"

"what?"

Yukiko immediately looked puzzled.

Luo Tian also grinned, revealing a helpless smile.

What are you doing here?!

"Because we can't confirm whether this person is actually Uncle Yifang!"

Noticing Yukiko's confusion, Hiromi Yabuuchi continued.

“My uncle Yifang lived in Brazil for many years. Most of the people of his generation here are no longer here! Even my father passed away last month because of illness!”

"That's it!"

Yukiko touched the little boy's smooth face and completely understood the situation.

"Don't worry, Amei! I promise to help you verify his identity."

Seeing her so confident, Luo Tian couldn't help but smile.

Although he couldn't remember the details of the original trajectory, he knew that this was not a simple task of identifying people.

Yukiko also noticed the little boy's expression, and a hint of unease appeared on her pretty face.

As she followed Hiromi Yabuuchi into the inner room, she lowered her head and leaned closer, pleading softly.

"Honey! I'll be counting on you then! I'll work really hard when I get back!"

She blinked, and her meaning was clear.

"You said it! Don't come crying and begging for mercy later!"

Luo Tian took the opportunity to give her a light peck on the cheek, revealing a smug smile.

Just then, a faint noise came from outside the gate.

·· Requesting flowers ····

The sound was so soft that neither Hiromi Yabuuchi nor Yukiko noticed it.

But Luo Tian's smile grew even wider!

Although he couldn't recall the details of the event in its original course, one thing remained vivid in his memory.

That's where Yusaku Kudo will appear!

He wasn't sure at first whether things would go according to plan, but now he can be certain!

"Great detective, I hope you can greet the upcoming developments with a smile!"

Luo Tian sent out a [Hive] detection robot to the door and muttered to himself as he watched the figure hiding in the corner, wearing a trench coat and a green detective hat.

……

Yusaku Kudo has been feeling restless lately.

Since sending his wife back to China, he has rarely received calls from her.

The most recent one was more than two weeks ago!

At that time, Yukiko, who had already broken ties with her eldest son, told him about it directly.

This is also the main reason why Yusaku Kudo is so restless!

Of course, he wasn't worried about Yukiko, but about his eldest son!

His worries intensified, especially after receiving a call from Hattori Heizo!

Under normal circumstances, no father can accept his son coming out as gay!

The same goes for Yusaku Kudo!

But even though he was far away in the United States, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't figure out what had happened to his eldest son.

....... ....

His wife doesn't contact him, so he can't get the latest information.

So he could only speed up his work in a state of deep worry.

Whether it's an editor urging you to submit your manuscript or a request from the FBI.

After working through three sleepless nights in a row, we finally managed to bring the matter to a temporary close.

Then, without stopping, he took a plane back to China.

After some investigation, he easily found out where Yukiko was currently living.

He wasn't surprised at all that his wife lived with Eri Kisaki; he knew they were best friends.

The appearance of Ms. Jinghua surprised him somewhat, but he quickly understood why.

It was simply that Hattori Heizo had the same idea as himself: since he couldn't get away, he had his wife come over to keep an eye on their eldest son's movements.

Thinking of this, Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship with Hattori Heizo.

Heroes see the same thing!

Just as he was about to visit his wife to apologize and inquire about their eldest son, Yukiko happened to be leaving for an appointment.

In desperation, Kudo Yusaku rented a car and followed them.

I also picked up my friend, whom I met by chance, along the way!

And to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he tucked it under his trench coat.

This is also why Luo Tian hasn't found the big black rat yet.

"No no no!"

Inside his trench coat, Conan was incredibly frustrated!

It's the middle of summer, and the temperature is already 30 degrees Celsius!

Yusaku Kudo had been staying up all night and rushing to catch flights, so he hadn't taken a shower at all.

The pungent smell almost made him faint!

I finally managed to peek my head out of my trench coat, wanting to breathe some fresh air, but my father stuffed it back in.

"Shinichi, can you cooperate a little bit?"

Kudo Yusaku had no kind expression towards his eldest son at this moment.

With his intelligence, he can see a lot of things at a glance!
