A three-story building not far from the investigation office.
The two old ladies returned to their home again.
But this time, it was not a normal return home after a break, but a forced return.
Because they had just moved and didn't have many things, the two tied-up old couples were the only ones in the empty room.
The anesthesia lasted only a short time, and the two of them soon woke up.
When they woke up at first, they were still a little confused, but soon they realized something, their expressions changed, and they immediately looked around.
"Wake up."
In the dark room, the man's face could not be seen clearly. He could only see the other man holding a gun and slowly walking towards the two of them.
The old woman opened her mouth to say something, but found that her mouth had already been blocked.
"No need to say anything else, you will definitely die today."
The man looked at the flustered two people and sneered, his eyes full of malice and sarcasm: "Actually, we have already discovered that this kid is Kudo Shinichi, we just want to find out who knows his identity.
Sure enough, as his parents, you still know. It just so happens that you come back and save us the trouble. Go down and accompany your son to Huangquan Road for a walk."
As he spoke, the man took out his pistol and pointed it at the frightened old woman.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Huge gunshots rang out in the room, and their minds went blank.
They originally thought they were dead, but after they calmed down, they found that nothing seemed to be wrong with them.
Just as he was in a daze, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and Conan stepped in.
"If you want to play a prank, be mentally prepared to be tricked."
Conan knelt down and untied the rope that blocked the old woman's mouth. He chuckled and asked, "You think so, Mom~"
"You little bastard, how dare you treat us like this!!" After hearing Conan's words, the old woman's scolding suddenly became younger, and her identity was naturally self-evident.
At this time, Kudo Yukiko didn't know that she was being tricked by her son, so she should not get angry anymore.
It's a pity that Conan already knew his mother's nature, so he only untied the rope from his mouth, but did not untie the rope from his body.
Yukiko was so angry that she jumped on the floor like a caterpillar: "Hurry up and untie me!!"
"Then you are not allowed to settle accounts later."
Faced with the threat from his mother, even though Conan knew that what he said might not end well if he untied it, he still had no choice but to reach out and untie the rope.
After all, she is his mother, how dare he disobey his mother.
After the old man beside Karasawa untied the rope that blocked his mouth, Kudo Yusaku looked at the long-haired man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that kid to even call you over. He really tried his best to deal with us.
"
"Well, at first I thought there was a case."
Tangze smiled while untying the rope on the other party: "Conan later began to suspect that you were pretending.
And since I have taken the trouble to start taking action, I might as well just go with the flow."
"So how exactly did you find us?"
After being untied, Kudo Yukiko grabbed Conan who was about to run away, held him in her arms and kept "ravaging" him out. At the same time, she curiously asked: "We haven't seen any investigation actions by you at all."
"No, actually we have already investigated." Karasawa smiled and said, "During the day, I passed Mr. Yusaku once."
"Ah, it turns out it was that time. I didn't even notice that it was you who was pretending to be Tangze Criminal."
After hearing this, Kudo Yusaku quickly thought of the young people he passed by when he went out during the day, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I see that playing the role of an old man is a very failed choice."
"Why?" Kudo Yukiko asked a little puzzled.
"Because we can't disguise the smell."
Kudo Yusaku is indeed one of the best detectives in the world. Just by learning that Karasawa passed by him after disguising himself during the day, he knew where the two of them showed their flaws.
After explaining to Yukiko, the other party activated "Drill Kill" with both hands on Conan's head and said angrily: "Cheating, you kid actually cheated!"
"If you hadn't exposed your flaws before, how could I have bothered Tangze Criminal to take action?"
Although Conan looked pained because of his mother's "drill killing", he retorted unyieldingly.
"Oh? Then tell me where we went wrong?"
The Kudo family is indeed a fan of reasoning. Although they were pranked by their own son, they were immediately attracted to their attention when they heard that his son was trying to reason out their flaws.
"First of all, it's suspicious that you two old ladies live in such a high and steep house."
After Conan broke away from his mother's "embrace killing", he looked at his father and said: "Although your acting skills are very good, mother, my father's acting skills are hard to describe."
"Ah, that's true."
Hearing this, Yukiko glanced at Kudo Yusaku beside her angrily and said: "Although there is nothing unnatural for an old man to press the floor and stand up, it should usually be done when there is no one around.
But when there are people around, he actually doesn't want to be seen looking weak, so he stands up with his hands on his legs, which is more in line with the old man's psychology.
In the world of actors, some young people will also use such wrong actions when playing the role of elderly people. This is a problem that newcomers often encounter."
"That's why my mother frowned at that time, right?"
Conan laughed and said: "Because dad made actions that were not in line with the mentality of an old man."
"So you saw it." Yukiko said in surprise: "That's right. At that time, I was thinking, "It's over, it's over, it's screwed up." In the end, the problem was really eliminated from here."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Yusaku Kudo folded his arms and sighed helplessly after hearing this: "My profession is a reasoner, not a professional actor."
"But having said that, what you did is a bit too much." Conan said with drooping eyes, "It's okay to spy on me at school, but you went out of your way to do this."
"Ah... Shin-chan, your senses are so sharp, I've discovered this."
Hearing this, Yukiko smiled and said: "When I returned home, I missed Shin-chan very much, so I went to school alone, and Shin-chan happened to be coming out of school with her friends.
At that time, you turned around and shocked me. I thought you had been discovered, hahaha~"
Seeing his mother's happy look, Conan was speechless: "Forget it, why do we need to do all the follow-up things?"
"Hey, it was just a sudden idea. Let's see if I can hide the fact that we are back from you."
Yukiko said this with great interest like a child encountering something new: "Then our follow-up became to observe the daily life of the new Conan-chan."
Conan almost fell down after hearing this. He really didn't expect that his mother would be so bored and have no time to peek into his daily life.
"Why are you thinking of doing such a thing?" Conan said helplessly, holding his forehead.
Yukiko on the side did indeed ignore Conan's words. She pointed her index finger on her forehead and pretended to think deeply: "But how to avoid being discovered by you is a very important question.
I was thinking about it while walking, and then I happened to bump into that house~"
Speaking of this, Yukiko clasped her hands together happily and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, I quite like it. Originally I just wanted to go in and take a look to pass the time.
But after entering, I found that the angle of the skylight in the attic is super good. It just faces the Mori Office~"
"So she had an idea and came up with a good idea to observe you." Yusaku Kudo said this, looking at Yukiko's face with fondness: "That is to rent that house for a week, and then pretend to be an old couple.
Then peek into your life from the attic skylight."
"Shin-chan, your father also thinks my idea is very interesting~" Yukiko said this with a bit of showoff, which made Conan only twitch the corners of his mouth and smile, and his face turned red unconsciously.
Obviously, Conan was very ashamed of what his parents had done.
“The rest of the trip was smooth sailing.”
Kudo Yukiko said proudly: "When we went to ask the landlord to rent us a house, it happened that the president was a super fan of mine~ After signing his name, he agreed to us without saying a word~
You shocked me when you came the next day. Although I, a professional actor, promised not to reveal any flaws, my father still exposed his secrets and asked you to trick us in turn."
Speaking of this, Yukiko grabbed Conan again and started "Drill Kill", with a fierce expression on her face: "You little bastard pretended to be an assassin and scared us, but you actually anesthetized us!
At that time you didn’t know how sad I was after I woke up, you really thought you had been killed!!”
"It hurts, it hurts!" Conan struggled hard to open Yukiko's hand, while retorting: "Mom, you disguised yourself to spy on me first, you are setting yourself up!"
"I'm sorry, because mom really wants to know how Shin-chan is doing."
Kudo Yukiko, who was still a little noisy at first, looked a little depressed when she said this: "Mom would like to know if your life is good now. After all, we have always lived in two places...
But if I ask you directly, in order not to make me worry, you must comfort me by saying "it's okay"..."
Speaking of this, tears kept rolling in Kudo Yukiko's eyes. She touched the corners of her eyes and said aggrievedly: "I just want to know about your actual life situation..."
Seeing his mother's sudden words of sadness and worry, the impatience and annoyance in Conan's heart disappeared.
It turns out that this is how my mother expresses her concern for herself.
Conan looked at his tearful mother, his heart filled with unspeakable emotions: "Mom..."
"And I've become a new elementary school student again... I want to take more commemorative photos~"
Kudo Yukiko's originally downcast expression turned into happiness and joy in an instant. Conan stumbled and was dumbfounded.
Even Karasawa on the side couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, shocked by how quickly Kudo Yukiko changed his face.
It should be said that she is indeed Kudo Yukiko, who once took the country by storm and still has many fans...
His face changes faster than turning the pages of a book, and his emotions can be freely released, which is really eye-opening.
"But you are really bold."
Yukiko put her hands on her hips and nodded Conan's head: "You actually let Karasawa Criminal accompany you to fool around. If we hadn't mistaken the wrong person, I'd like to see how you end up.
At that time, it will implicate Tang Ze criminally."
"They were disguised as a couple, and they were secretly photographed, so I thought it was probably you."
Conan said angrily: "The style is completely different from that of that black organization. If they had any suspicion, they would have taken the initiative to assassinate me and the people around me, so it can't be them."
"What if it's someone else?" Kudo Yukiko retorted dissatisfied: "That would be terrible."
"Mom, this is obviously a false proposition." Conan complained: "Others will never run over when they see me being assassinated."
"What if someone chooses to call the police?" Kudo Yukiko said unconvinced, "Then it's still a fool's errand if it doesn't work out."
"No, since it is peeping, it proves that there is an invisible purpose. Under normal circumstances, the police will not be called."
Conan shook his head and analyzed seriously: "The plan we set up is actually a test. If you really don't come to check the situation, it will prove that it is not you, mother.
Then they have ulterior motives for taking the secret photos. We will continue to investigate tomorrow.
Besides, since I already suspect it’s you, how could I not make preparations.”
"What are you preparing for?" Yukiko Kudo asked curiously.
"Of course I'm going to verify your identities." Conan smiled and said, "When I started planning, I naturally had the same concerns that Mom mentioned before, but I contacted Mom and your friends in Los Angeles.
Let him help confirm the whereabouts of the two of you."
"Ah, it must be Radish Raywood."
When Kudo Yukiko heard her son's words, she suddenly understood something, and said with some annoyance: "No wonder he called me before. I told him that I had returned to Neon, but I didn't expect that the secret would be exposed from here!"
The Radish Raywood the two of them were talking about was a criminal from the New York City Police Department, and they got to know Yusaku Kudo because he assisted him in solving cases when he was in New York.
Well, his physique is similar to that of Officer Megure. He has no hair and also has a big beard.
As for why Kudo Shinichi knew him, it was because of the night he encountered the "murderer" disguised by Belmode.
After Kudo Shinichi went to the theater with his mother and Xiaolan, a murder occurred. Kudo Shinichi cooperated with his mother to solve the murder.
Naturally, he also met this friend of his parents.
And it was precisely because Conan had found the other party and confirmed the whereabouts of his parents that Karasawa helped Conan counter-trick the Kudo couple.
