Chapter 849 Call Daddy!
"Shin-Shinichi's father?"
"Long time no see, Xiaolan. My son has caused you a lot of trouble." Kudo Yusaku smiled and nodded outside the door: "Thank you for taking care of him during this period of time."
As he spoke, Kudo Yusaku walked in naturally, and Xiaolan subconsciously turned around and made way.
"Kudo-kun?" Maori Kogoro was as surprised and frightened as Xiaolan, especially since he had just talked about raising someone else's son like a dog.
"Uncle Yusaku." Conan came over: "Aren't you abroad? When did you come back? (What are you doing here?)"
Even though Conan actually knew that his parents had returned to their country for a long time, he had been hiding at home and protecting Okiya Subaru during this time.
What he really meant was to question why his father came here. Wasn't he afraid that people would find out that he had returned home? Although the Black Organization had been smashed to pieces by Martin, Toru Amuro was still working steadily in the cafe downstairs. They and Subaru Okiya currently had a plan against Bourbon.
If we do this job well, the action against the Black Organization will be completed.
"I just returned home two days ago, and I didn't plan to stay at home for too long. After all, Shinichi has rented out the house." Kudo Yusaku said gently, "I came here today because I haven't seen Maori and Xiaolan for a long time, and I also want to visit my nephew Conan."
In name, Conan is still his relative. But what Kudo Yusaku said was more like explaining to Maori Kogoro than explaining Conan's problem.
Otherwise, Kogoro Mouri would also wonder why Yusaku Kudo came. He and Yukiko were high school classmates, and Yusaku Kudo was a screenwriter Yukiko met when they were filming a movie. They were acquaintances, but their relationship was definitely not as good as Kogoro Mouri's friends who just drank and played mahjong in nightclubs when they had nothing to do.
This kind of relationship came without any notice, and no one came for no reason. So Maori Kogoro felt guilty, wondering if his intention to treat someone else's son like a dog was known.
After listening to Kudo Yusaku's explanation, Maori Kogoro nodded slightly. He was a little surprised at first, wondering why he didn't see Yukiko. After thinking about it, he guessed that Yukiko had gone to Eri's place.
Then, Kogoro Mori and Yusaku Kudo exchanged some pleasantries about family matters. Yusaku Kudo mentioned that Kogoro Mori was now a famous detective. Kogoro Mori even began to tell about the cases he had "solved" and claimed that he would provide material and inspiration to Yusaku Kudo, the mystery novelist.
After talking about a case, Kudo Yusaku suddenly said, "Actually, I originally planned to come back in a few days..."
Maori Kogoro immediately asked with concern: "Did Kudo-kun encounter any problems?"
"Not really." Kudo Yusaku looked a little hesitant, and said carefully: "This morning, a young man who was staying at the doctor's house next door to ours came to tell us a piece of news..."
Maori Kogoro immediately understood and suddenly realized: "Oh! I thought it was something else. That kid who can transform is talking about the end of the world again, right?"
"So Maori-kun knows that, too." Kudo Yusaku understood: "I heard from the doctor that Martin and you have a very good relationship and often go on trips together."
Maori Kogoro wanted to say something like "bullshit", but swallowed it back after smacking his lips: "Don't worry, Kudo-kun. That guy likes to joke the most. He often tricks people and then enjoys seeing you look sad."
As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri's mentality was still a bit frivolous. When he was still a policeman, Inspector Megure relied a lot on Kudo Yusaku. Later, Kudo Yusaku's child became a famous high school detective, which also hit him as a colleague. It stands to reason that such a smart person like Kudo Yusaku would be deceived by the lies of Martin.
Maybe it was because he had just returned to China and was cheated for the first time? Unlike me, I gained experience through being cheated many times... There were tears behind my back.
Maori Kogoro suddenly felt a sense of mission. He should share his anti-fraud experience to help more people, such as creating an anti-fraud hotline! If someone is selling crutches, please press 1; if someone is selling wheelchairs, please press 2...
"Hmm... This is how Mori-kun sees it." Kudo Yusaku raised his hand to his chin, lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Think about it carefully, it's good to keep a state without any psychological burden."
"Ah?" Kogoro Mori felt something was wrong when he heard it. Kudo Yusaku believed it firmly.
Thinking about how that face-changing kid beat up the Tokyo Tower last night, demolished half of the tower and destroyed several helicopters... I really felt that he didn't care about the future at all and did whatever he wanted, just like the people in the doomsday movies who took to the streets to smash and destroy things after learning the truth.
Could it be... is it true?
Kudo Yusaku noticed the change in Maori Kogoro's expression and quickly comforted him, "Don't think too much, Maori-kun. Maybe I was worrying too much. In this matter, being deceived is actually a good thing to be thankful for."
Yes, it’s better than not being cheated... The more relieved Kudo Yusaku was, the worse Mori Kogoro’s expression became.
Conan, who was watching from the side, looked at Kudo Yusaku and felt that there was something wrong with this father.
Conan quietly walked to the kitchen, took out his cell phone without letting others know, and instead of sending messages through the group chat, he sent private messages to Dr. Agasa, Miyano Akemi, and Haibara Ai, asking them what kind of person Martin had become today, and at the same time sticking his head out to monitor his father.
After waiting for a while, Haibara Ai didn't reply to him. Dr. Agasa and Miyano Akemi both said that Martin has been missing since he turned into a gorilla last night and has not returned yet. The service area was not there when they called him.
After thinking about it, Conan decided to call Martin directly and try.
Unexpectedly, the call went through directly: "Moses Moses? This is the handsome Martin Gege."
Martin's voice on the phone was deep and heavy, the kind of voice that could only be produced by a strong character with a thick neck.
Conan looked at his father again to confirm that Kudo Yusaku was still comforting Maori Kogoro, and his expression was calm and normal. Conan turned around and covered his mouth to talk on the phone: "Martin, what kind of person have you become today?"
"Want to know?"
"Well, from what you said, your loss of control will only last for the last two days. I'm quite curious." Conan pretended to be relaxed: "And I want to know what kind of trouble I will encounter today, so I can be prepared in advance."
"If you want to know...then go back and take a look."
Martin's voice made Conan's hair stand on end. He immediately turned around, prepared to see a ghost face behind him.
However, unlike Conan's first reaction, there was no monster behind him making faces at him, not even anything at all, just the air between him and the cupboard.
Conan stuck his head out to look outside again. His father was still comforting Uncle Kogoro and had no intention of looking over.
Martin really just made him turn around.
"There's nothing behind me except the cupboard."
"Cabinet? Why is the great detective hiding in the kitchen to make a phone call?" Martin said jokingly. There was a faint sound of a car engine coming and going on the phone, as if Martin was shopping in a busy street. "Oh, I see. Someone special came to see you. You suspect that person is me, right? So you are not in the Metropolitan Police Department anymore?"
"That's about right. So today you..."
"Okay, I'm Superman today, the one wearing red shorts outside, the big guy in the comic version. Now I've finally recycled all the introductions of this book." Martin was saying something that Conan couldn't understand: "I just sent Mira home, and now I'm thinking about whether to go out into space or be a Homelander."
It seems that the Doctor and Miss Mingmei couldn't get through to Martin just because he was in space. "So what? What the hell went to your place? Luthor or Doomsday?"
"Uh...neither. Let me handle it myself." Conan hung up the phone.
When Conan returned to the living room, Maori Kogoro had just begun to think of escaping reality and took the initiative to suggest: "Kudo-kun, we haven't seen each other for a few years, why don't we have a drink."
Since there were outsiders present, Xiaolan, who controlled his beer quota, would give him some face and not stop him on the spot.
Kudo Yusaku thought about it for a moment, perhaps considering that Maori Kogoro became sad because of him, and nodded slowly: "Yukiko shouldn't go home too early today... Then I'd better obey your command."
"Dad, you haven't had breakfast yet." Xiaolan reminded him tiredly.
"It's okay, just have a drink to relax yourself." Kogoro Mouri's answer was somewhat irrelevant, and he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
However, after opening the refrigerator, Kogoro Mori was suddenly a little dissatisfied with the cans of beer in the refrigerator. If it was really the last day of his life, why not drink something good?
He turned around and said, "There's no more wine at home. I'm going to the supermarket. Kudo-kun, please wait for a moment!"
Fearing that Kudo Yusaku would go back on his word or Xiaolan would stop him, Mouri Kogoro ran as fast as he could.
As soon as Maori Kogoro left, Conan no longer had to pretend to be a polite child. He picked up the still warm bowl and started to eat, while asking Kudo Yusaku: "So, Dad, what exactly are you doing here?"
Conan had thought that it might be someone who was an expert in disguise pretending to be his father, but this was the only master of disguise he knew in the world. Vermouth was his mother's old friend, so even if she knew his identity, she would not attack him and Xiaolan. It would make no difference if his mother disguised herself as his father. If it was Kaito Kidd, that guy, he would be sure to make sure he never returned.
At most, we can count the previous generation Kid and Lupin's gang whose lives and deaths are unknown, but Conan can't imagine that these people will come to make fun of him. In summary, Conan did not worry about the possibility of his identity being exposed, and asked directly.
If he really is a fake father, I can just claim to be the second child born to my parents in the United States.
Xiaolan looked at Conan, then looked at Kudo Yusaku: "You are here to talk to Shinichi about something, right? How about I..."
Kudo Yusaku interrupted Xiaolan who was about to find an excuse to leave: "No, I came here more to see you, Xiaolan. I hope I can say something to you face to face."
"Me?" Xiaolan was a little surprised, and at the same time, she sat up straight with a nervous look.
"First of all, you took care of Shinichi during the years when Yukiko and I were abroad." Kudo Yusaku reached out and rubbed Conan's dog head: "As this kid's father, I am very grateful to you."
"No, no, after all, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, I certainly can't just leave him alone." Xiaolan was talking about how she often went to Shinichi's house to help with cooking and cleaning before he became Conan. Then she squinted at Conan and said, "As for letting this guy live in, he lied to me so badly in the beginning!"
Her mind inadvertently recalled those experiences of taking a bath together, and Xiaolan's face turned red with murderous intent.
Isn't this over? Conan shrank his neck, knowing he was in the wrong, and said nothing.
"I came here this time just for your business." Kudo Yusaku smiled, but the content of his next words was far less gentle: "When will Xiaolan marry this guy?"
"Ah?!" Xiaolan was startled, and her cheeks quickly turned red: "Why should I marry this guy? I, I, I..." Xiaolan turned her head away: "I don't like this guy!"
"What are you talking about!" Conan also got anxious and pointed at his father, saying, "I'm like this now, how can I talk about getting married? And I'm not old enough anyway!"
"We can get engaged even if we are not old enough. Let's establish the relationship first." Kudo Yusaku's tone was seven parts expectation and three parts apology: "Originally, Yukiko and I shouldn't be so anxious, but now we suddenly know that time may not be enough... The boy from the doctor's house also admitted that he was not 100% sure about this matter, right?"
Martin did say that he wasn't completely sure, and he told Hattori Heiji about it at the barbecue party last night, and Hattori Heiji also complained about it to everyone afterwards.
"If the worst happens, at this time tomorrow, all of us will disappear from this world. If Yukiko and I still have an unfulfilled wish, it is to see Xiaolan become our family and hear her call us mom and dad." Kudo Yusaku said earnestly: "Yukiko has already gone to lobby your mother, I don't think she will fail. If you agree, I will discuss this matter with your father later."
"So, can I hear you, Xiaolan, calling me daddy?"
Conan felt something was wrong, something was really wrong. So Conan hid again and this time called his mother, Yukiko Kudo.
"Shin-chan?" Yukiko's cheerful voice came over: "Is there anything you want to tell your dear mother?"
Conan lowered his voice and complained: "Mom, I saw Dad molesting young girls."
And she is your future daughter-in-law.
There was silence on the other end of the line. A chill seemed to be transmitted through the radio waves. Then, Kudo Yukiko spoke in a completely different tone from before: "When did it happen?"
The question is "when", not "where"! Conan immediately realized the crucial information! If Dad is not with Mom at this time, Mom should assume that it is happening now and directly ask where he and Dad are now!
The current situation is obviously the opposite. Mom concedes that it is not what is happening now, which means - "Is Dad with you now?"
"Of course." Yukiko turned her head on the other end of the phone, and her murderous eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and fell on Kudo Yusaku in the study next door: "But he may not be your father soon."
However, Conan had no intention of clearing the blame on Kudo Yusaku. After confirming the truth, he immediately hung up the phone and ran back.
Meanwhile, 'Yusaku Kudo' is still trying to fool Xiaolan: "Shinichi has been naughty since he was young, which has troubled Yukiko and I. We have always hoped to have a daughter as well-behaved and sensible as Xiaolan. Your unwillingness to marry Shinichi means that this child is unlucky, but Yukiko and I really hope that you can become part of our family."
"How about this, are you willing to be our goddaughter, Shinichi's sister, and call us mom and dad, Xiaolan?"
Xiaolan's face had already turned red with shame. Her CPU was severely overheated, and her eyes were spinning like mosquito coils. She was about to waver: "My...father..."
Conan rushed out, shouting angrily, "Martin!"
This shout successfully put the brakes on Xiaolan, like a basin of cold water poured back into her mind, and her smart IQ took over again.
I saw the face of 'Yusaku Kudo' beginning to show the spirit and cunning of youth, and he shrugged in a very familiar manner, as if saying: 'What a pity'.
At this time, Kogoro Mori came back with two bottles of expensive sake, Kuromatsu Hakushika Daiginjo, in his hands. When he heard Conan's shout, he was stunned for a moment, and then his rich experience of being cheated made him understand everything.
Kogoro Mori turned his wrist, held the bottle by the neck and raised it upside down in his hand, and rushed in like the Black Whirlwind Li Kui wielding double axes!
I plan to be a bit busy tomorrow, so I have to ask for leave. But... there is a slight chance that I can take some time off.
