Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Frightened, Conan took advantage of the fact that Teitan Elementary School was closed for the day and ran to Dr. Agasa's place early in the morning to avoid the storm.

I plan to go back after the useless uncle calms down.

He had considered leaving, since his childhood sweetheart was no longer there.

But the thought of the ten million yuan in child support made him abandon the idea.

At least he found that when he wasn't causing trouble, the useless uncle was actually quite like a respectable patriarch.

Although I forced myself to do a lot of practice problems and to improve my housework skills, I also made sure to do things like laundry and mopping myself.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems like they really are all doing it for their own good.

Having endured the torment from the black men, Conan's mindset has subtly changed.

Seeing the big black rat's startled and frightened expression, Luo Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, we're here on important business, and it concerns you!"

His thoughts raced, and he immediately changed his mind, deciding to fleece the big black rat one more time.

"Is it related to me?"

Conan frowned, genuinely disbelieving.

But what if?! Should we listen to it first?!

At Luo Tian's instruction, Xiao Ai took out a piece of paper from her pocket and explained the use of these experimental instruments.

Professor Agasa, also a scientist, could understand most of it, but Conan felt like he was listening to gibberish, his mind completely blank.

There was only one thing he understood!

This is about the antidote! It's about whether he can return to his original form!

The big black rat immediately perked up!

Ignoring the fact that his butt had been smashed into eight pieces by Kogoro Mouri, he rushed over.

"Are you serious? We can really start researching an antidote?!"

Startled by the dark face, Ai quickly hid behind the little boy.

"Of course it's true, but..."

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the big black rat, Luo Tian smiled and spoke.

"But you wouldn't want to develop an antidote without getting one for yourself, would you?"

"What do you mean?"

Conan keenly sensed that something was amiss.

He felt as if there was a pit waiting for him ahead, but he insisted on walking over it.

"Didn't I already agree to cooperate with your research?"

"You said yourself, it's just helping with the research."

Luo Tian pointed to himself, then to the little girl behind him.

"We already have two ready-made examples here, so it doesn't really matter whether you're there or not, right?"

He spoke casually, as if he really didn't care whether the big black rat would help with the experiment.

In reality, he and the little girl really needed a guinea pig.

However, Conan was unaware of this.

Listening to Luo Tian's words, he felt as if he was about to be excluded.

The thought of possibly not getting the antidote made the big black rat panic.

"How can this be?! Didn't we agree on this last night?! Was my performance yesterday not good enough? I'll kowtow to you again right now!"

It's often said that there's only the difference between doing something zero times and doing it countless times, and Conan has a profound understanding of this.

Since I already did 203 last night, doing a few more isn't unacceptable.

"No, no, no!"

Luo Tian hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but his body betrayed him by not moving.

After the big black rat kowtowed a few more times, he finally spoke with a pleasant smile.

"What I mean is, look at the numbers at the bottom of this piece of paper."

Holding the little girl's note, Luo Tian pointed to the bottom line of numbers.

This isn't a phone number; it's the price of these experimental instruments!

To be honest, Luo Tian was a little confused when he first saw this string of numbers.

If it weren't for the billion yuan he had in his pocket that he had been able to use for illicit activities, he felt he wouldn't have been able to set up a laboratory for the little girl.

Even so, he was still a little distressed about the expense.

Based on the principle of saving money wherever possible, he immediately thought of finding someone to share the cost.

For example, a large black rat that is not short of money at home but urgently needs an antidote.

"You mean you want me to pay?"

Conan paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

You should have said so earlier if you wanted money! If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to pay these bills!

Ouch! My forehead hurts a bit. I should have known better than to strain so hard!

The big black rat stood up, clutching its forehead!

If you mention money, he won't be sleepy anymore! Because he doesn't have any!

Although he doesn't have it, his parents do!

Conan pulled out his phone and immediately called his dad.

Chapter 117: The Kudo Father and Son Give Away 50 Million Yen and Yukiko (Sixth Update!)

Inside a luxury apartment in Free City, the Lighthouse Nation.

In the early hours of the morning, Yusaku Kudo, exhausted after a long day, dragged his weary body back to his room with heavy steps.

There was no one else in the house besides him; he and his wife had been separated since they moved there.

The reason for the branch office's actions wasn't due to any conflict.

Besides being a mystery novelist, Yusaku Kudo also works as an FBI consultant detective.

He often needs to help the FBI with classified tasks, which means other people will be coming and going from his home.

In addition, since some information needed to be kept secret, he simply let Yukiko live alone.

If it were any other couple doing this, they'd probably be having an even more extravagant affair.

However, Yusaku Kudo trusted his wife very much, knowing that although she seemed carefree and playful, she was a very sensible person.

He also knew that even if he neglected her, she wouldn't do anything to betray him.

In contrast, he himself, who often needs to go out for social engagements, inevitably makes it difficult to do things that are not in his own hands.

The two often argued about this!

"Sigh, I hope she gets over her anger soon!"

Just as Kudo Yusaku was about to relax in his chair, he heard the phone ring.

He was so startled that he thought it was another call from the editor urging him to finish his manuscript, and he almost threw his phone out the window.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a call from my eldest son, and I breathed a sigh of relief!

"Shinichi, what's up with calling so late?"

Due to the time difference, it was still early morning in the United States, a fact that Conan was well aware of.

But he was so anxious that he couldn't care less about that now.

"Dad, there's no time to explain, quickly send me some money, I need it urgently!"

"Ok?"

Yusaku Kudo frowned, held the phone up to his eyes, and confirmed that the number displayed on the screen was indeed his son's, and not some scam call.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

Trusting his eldest son, he didn't ask what he was doing, but only the numbers.

The answer he received shocked him, and he held the screen up to his eyes again to confirm it carefully.

Yes, it's my son's number! The voice matches!

Why are you asking for fifty million right off the bat?!

Even if it's cherry blossom coins, that's still a considerable sum!

"Tell me honestly, have you gotten yourself into some trouble?"

His first reaction was that his eldest son had gotten into some serious trouble and needed to spend money to settle it.

"Dad, no..."

Conan was still in a hurry, so much so that he couldn't speak clearly and only managed to briefly explain his situation.

Kudo Yusaku then realized that his eldest son needed so much money to research an antidote.

This is great! Here you go!

With a wave of his hand, a large sum of money was transferred instantly.

As a consequence, he'll likely be writing non-stop for the next period of time.

After hanging up the phone, looking at the bustling night view outside the window, Yusaku Kudo revealed a wise look in his eyes.

Although he trusted his eldest son's wisdom, he remained skeptical of the scientist who had suddenly appeared and betrayed the organization.

"Damn it, I can't get away!"

Besides meeting deadlines for his manuscripts, he is currently helping the FBI with a major case.

I won't have time to go back to China in the short term to find out about my eldest son's situation.

But I'm worried about leaving it unattended!

After thinking it over, he made a phone call anyway.

"Dududu-"

Unsurprisingly, the other party, who was in a state of cold war, did not answer the phone.

Thankfully, the call wasn't disconnected immediately; it just went to voicemail.

After organizing his thoughts, Kudo Yusaku explained the situation with his eldest son and asked Yukiko to go back and check on him.

"Nothing should happen, right?"

He pressed his head and sighed softly.

Even though he knew Yukiko would definitely agree, he still couldn't calm down.

Just like this time, I thought something bad might happen if I let my wife go back to China.

……

“The boss is awesome!”

Seeing the big black rat transfer the money it had just received, Luo Tian smiled with satisfaction.

To ensure the efficiency and safety of the little girl's experiments, he chose only the most expensive and best equipment.

The total comes to over 50 million Sakura Coins, which is close to 100 million if you round it up!

The reason he only accepted 50 million from the big black rat was entirely because he was a kind-hearted person!

"Professor Agasa, I'll have to trouble you to take care of these things!"

Luo Tian handed over the note and transferred the money as well.

Perhaps because he was used to being a tool, Professor Agasa agreed without even thinking about it.
