On the road that was so empty that few cars could be seen, a stretched business sedan was speeding at an alarming speed.
Yukiko Kudo, who had made a rare trip to Japan, was sitting in the driver's seat, her face full of joy.
Conan, who was sitting behind her, stuck his head out from the side of the seat and complained rather dissatisfiedly:
"You're driving a little too fast! This is in the city!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm paying attention to where there are speed cameras!"
Kudo Yukiko blinked.
"Hey! What you should pay attention to is not where there are speed cameras and police, but your speed itself, right?"
Kudo Yukiko turned a deaf ear to his words and hummed happily, looking at Yuan Huaiyu who was sitting in the passenger seat with her peripheral vision from time to time.
A year later, after learning about Mr. Yuan's identity and some of his deeds from her son, she had always wanted to get in touch with this person whom she had met once before.
I don’t know why, but when I met Yuan Huaiyu in New York, Kudo Yukiko could always feel that the other person seemed to be very familiar with her, and she also trusted this person from the first sight. By chance, she took the same flight with her son and daughter-in-law twice.
man.
Of course, it is also very pleasant for her to look at handsome guys from time to time.
emmm...take another look.
"Conan is right. After all, there are so many children in the car, so it's better to drive slower. Let alone them, I'm a little scared."
Yuan Huaiyu listened to the conversation between mother and son, noticed Yukiko's gaze, and said to Kudo Yukiko with a smile.
"Excuse me...where are we going now?"
Mitsuhiko sat in the last row and stretched his neck to ask.
"Isn't it time to tell us?" Yuantai had already begun to feel restless out of curiosity.
"Please!" Ayumi said to Kudo Yukiko in a half-coquettish, half-begging tone.
Before coming out today, they were told that they were going to a very interesting place, but the aunt refused to tell them exactly where they were going.
Children of this age happen to be the most curious. The more she doesn't say anything, the more the three little ones will be scratching their hearts.
"Oh! Everyone will definitely like it there!" Yukiko Kudo remained tight-lipped, just to whet their appetites.
It's just that as a well-known star and beauty in the past, even if she did this, she would only get this kind of evaluation from Ayumi——
"Conan's mother loves to be mysterious!"
When Conan heard this, he immediately denied it: "Just say she is not my mother! She is a relative's aunt..."
Suddenly, he stopped speaking knowingly, because he could clearly feel that as soon as he said the word "aunt", a murderous aura rose up in front of him.
"Cough, cough, it's my sister..."
Kudo Yukiko takes good care of herself and looks no more than thirty years old. It is completely impossible to tell that her child is seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Didi didi..."
Kudo Yukiko put away her murderous intent, took out her mobile phone and answered the call: "Ah! It's Mr. Karata? What? It took a little longer to adjust the light of No. 0, and it will be done later?"
"OK OK... Anyway, we are on the way, please!"
As soon as she hung up the phone, the three little ones heard that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be related to where they were going today, and they immediately started chattering.
"What is the number 0?"
"The robot's number?"
"Say it quickly..."
Kudo Yukiko just raised her voice: "Secret—"
Conan looked ahead and said with a straight face: "80% of them are going to take us there..."
"Wait a minute." Yuan Huaiyu suddenly turned his head and raised his index finger in front of his mouth, "If we reveal it now, it won't be considered a surprise..."
"Okay..." Conan had no choice but to silence his voice, leaving only the three little ones in an angry mood.
"Really! Mr. Yuan is too much!"
"Tell us!"
"Don't you know it when you get there? The longer the anticipation brews, the more enjoyable it will be."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled and comforted these curious babies.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the light has turned yellow for a long time..." Haibara Ai reminded Kudo Yukiko softly.
"Ah! Oops! Not good!" Kudo Yukiko's attention was completely focused on the conversation in the car, and she didn't realize that the red light had already turned green.
She immediately put into gear and started: "Sorry, I just got distracted."
This commercial vehicle with astonishing horsepower suddenly burst out with an astonishing acceleration. The other people in the car were suddenly pushed by the reaction force from the seats, and their heartbeats skipped a beat.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Conan once again expressed his dissatisfaction with his mother.
Thanks to Kudo Yukiko's superb driving skills, the car quickly carried the group of people and stopped at the entrance of a place called "Toto Printing Factory".
At this point, Conan can finally reveal the answer to the three little ones.
“The so-called dimming refers to correcting the color of the film, and No. 0 refers to the film that has just been developed, that is, the tape specially provided to the staff for inspection before the official release. Both of these are professional terms used in the film industry.
"
"Since this aunt...sister said that the place she wants to go to is something that everyone likes, and it is related to the film being reviewed and developed, it must be the "Masked Superman II" movie that is going to be released in the first month of the year..."
Kudo Yukiko looked at Conan with a smile: "That's right! It's amazing!"
The group of people walked into the Toto Printing Factory and soon found an acquaintance of Kudo Yukiko.
"Yukiko! Long time no see! You are still as beautiful..."
A slightly bald man came out to greet him with a smile.
"Of course!" Yukiko liked the other person's compliment very much, and introduced to the others with a smile: "He is Mr. Karata who invited everyone to watch the movie!"
"Hello!" the children greeted politely.
"Hello..." Yuan Huaiyu stretched out his hand and shook Tang Tian Jingshan's hand, but he was thinking about other things.
[Invoking the God of Death...I hope uncle you can really get well...]
"He works as a color adjuster, and he has beautifully corrected the colors of the movies I shot before!" Kudo Yukiko said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hahaha..." Tang Tian Keishen was praised by Kudo Yukiko and touched one of his ears sheepishly.
"Huh? Then, then..." Mitsuhiko captured quite important news from these words.
"Sister, were you an actor before?" Ayumi had a look of admiration on her face.
Kudo Yukiko looked at her with a smile: "Yes! Maybe your parents were fans of my movies before!"
On the other side, watching the three little ones with high desire to chase stars surrounding Kudo Yukiko, Haihara Ai glanced at Conan first, and then looked at Yuanhuaiyu.
"No wonder you said before that Kudo's reasoning talent was inherited from his father, and his tendency to show off, his confidence, his superb acting skills when using a voice changer, and his reckless personality that ignores danger on impulse are all inherited from his mother.
Came here..."
"Isn't it possible... By the way, is this what you said to her, Mr. Yuan? This comment really hit the mark..."
Conan first rolled his eyes at Haiyuan Ai, and then looked at Yuan Huaiyu.
Yuan Huaiyu smiled but said nothing.
Of course, that's how I evaluated your mother when she was still half a student of mine...
"When will the size 0 straps be ready?" Kudo Yukiko asked with her hands on her hips.
Tangtian Jingshan looked at the children's impatient and expectant eyes, spread his hands helplessly and said: "It may take a while, probably until around seven o'clock in the evening."
"Sorry, can you wait until then? You can visit here first..."
"No problem!" Yukiko Kudo agreed.
"Ah... Suijima, Negami, I'm sorry, can you take Kiko and these children with you for a visit?"
Tangtian Jingshan stopped two colleagues who were passing by.
Yoshihiko Negami, who was in charge of the development, and Rō Hoshima, who was in charge of the remake, nodded:
"OK."
"no problem!"
The two of them led the group towards the interior of Dongdu Printing Factory.
"This is the screening room where everyone will watch the Masked Superman movie later!"
"This is the darkroom. Before the film is put into the projector, it must be checked for damage in this room."
"And this projector..."
"Beep! Beep!"
Just as the two were introducing various devices to the children, an alarm-like sound sounded nearby.
"What is this sound?" The three little ones looked at the source of the sound together.
"This is a signal that someone is preparing to enter or leave the darkroom. Please be careful not to open the double doors of the darkroom at the same time, otherwise it will be over if there is light when checking the films!"
"That's it..."
"Oops!" Yoshihiko Negami looked at his watch and found that it was already close to seven o'clock, "It's already six forty, it's almost time to go to the screening room, right?"
"I'm afraid we have to wait a long time for the preview..."
At this time, a tired voice sounded from the side.
"Huh?"
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see a yawning and unkempt uncle walking over.
"He is our salesperson, his name is Nobuhiro Furumura." Suijima introduced in a low voice.
"Mr. Karata said it would be around eleven o'clock at night at the earliest..." Nobuhiro Furumura yawned again, "Anyway, those are none of my business now..."
"Are you sleepy?" Suijima looked at him helplessly.
Genge also looked at him with some dissatisfaction: "Playing mahjong all night again?"
"Yes..." Furumura nodded.
"But... at eleven o'clock, I will miss the flight back... But we can't let the children stay here so late, right?"
Kudo Yukiko glanced at her watch: "It's really nerve-wracking..."
"Then the kids can go to my place to rest!" Suijima Lang said immediately.
"I live near here." He suggested, "They can go to bed before the screening starts, and then we will send them back..."
She looked at Yuan Huaiyu: "Then can I ask Teacher Yuan to help take care of these children?"
"No problem." Yuan Huaiyu only hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.
"Children, what do you think?" Suijima Lang turned his attention to the children.
"Of course I want to go!"
"Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday..."
"My classmates in school will definitely be envious of us!"
Seeing these three people in such high spirits, Conan couldn't say anything against them.
"Then everyone needs to call back and tell their families!"
"That's good. After we finish the work quickly, we can also have a good sleep." Fucun also said with great expectation.
Kudo Yukiko, who had been standing silently by the side just now, saw that the children and several adults were looking forward to the preview, and she immediately took advantage of the opportunity to pull Conan out of the crowd.
"Xiaoxin!"
"What are you doing?" Conan glanced at her, wondering why his troublesome mother looked so gossipy.
"I want to ask you... what is the relationship between Haibara and Mr. Gen?" Yukiko Kudo knelt down and whispered in Conan's ear.
"Huh? Why did you say that?" Conan didn't know why.
"I think she has stared at Mr. Yuan more than ten times today! And Mr. Yuan also inadvertently keeps his eyes on Haiyuan for a long time... It stands to reason that this kind of look will always attract the other person.
The situation usually means..."
"Well...as far as I know, Haiyuan occasionally goes back to Teacher Yuan's house to borrow his well-equipped and advanced laboratory. Wait..."
Conan also looked at the two of them with some suspicion.
"I remember the last time I went to Teacher Yuan's house, Haihara and she were there too. The two of them gave me the feeling of..."
"What's it like?" Yukiko opened her eyes wide.
"Ahem...it's better not to say anything." Conan quickly stopped when he saw that the keen Yuan Huaiyu had turned his attention to the mother and son who were whispering.
"What are you discussing? A whisper between mother and son..."
Yuan Huaiyu walked over and asked with a smile.
"Nothing..." Conan suddenly thought of another worrying thing, "By the way, Mom, did you get rid of that car that came on the road this way?"
"Is that a strange car? Even if we didn't move for a long time after the red light turned green, the car behind us didn't even honk..." Yuan Huaiyu frowned slightly.
"Yes, that's because they don't want to attract our attention... In other words, the car is probably following us."
Conan's face became darker and darker.
"If the target of that car is Haiyuan and I, then it is very likely that it has something to do with the organization that made the two of us smaller..."
"But there is another possibility... maybe there is a loyal movie fan of mine in that car! He might want to chase me home, and then ask me to give him an autograph..."
Seeing his mother enter narcissistic mode in just a moment, Conan's mouth twitched and he looked at Yuan Huaiyu.
"What do you think, Mr. Yuan?"
Yuan Huaiyu smiled and shrugged: "I don't know either, but it would be best if I were a fan of your mother's movies..."
He sighed softly in his heart.
But no.
If the car that was following them could be described appropriately, Yuan Huaiyu would describe it like this...
That was the prelude to the big events that were about to happen!
