Wearing a red leather coat, Kudo Yukiko, who is full of charm, rides a motorcycle and takes Conan all the way to her friend's house in the countryside.
The reason why Yukiko suddenly ran back from Los Angeles was not simply because of a quarrel with Kudo Yusaku. In fact, it was more because she was invited by a friend from her student days, so she specifically returned to the island country to handle business.
At the same time, after receiving the news that Yukiko and the others had left Tokyo, Suzuki Seimei also chased them in the nanny car in the direction they left, under the pretext of going to the countryside to collect news.
The friend who invited Yukiko back to China this time is named Yabuuchi Hiromi. She is Yukiko's good friend who has played together since she was in kindergarten. The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that of Ran Maori and Sonoko Suzuki.
Although Yabuuchi Hiromi lives in the countryside, it does not mean that she is poor. On the contrary, her father is a famous landowner in the countryside, and her family is very wealthy.
Yukiko rode with Conan for several hours, and finally stopped in front of a huge and quaint Japanese-style manor.
"Yukiko! You are really back~"
Seeing Yukiko's arrival, Yabuuchi Hiromi was particularly surprised. She immediately greeted her with a smile: "Thank you for taking the time to come over when you are so busy."
"For you, my old friend who has been with me since childhood, I will fly here even from the other side of the world!" Seeing this, Yukiko smiled and stepped forward to hold Yabuuchi Hiromi's hand.
"Huh? Yusaku and Shinichi didn't come?"
"They two are very busy people, but you don't have to worry, I brought this child here to replace them." After Yukiko finished speaking, she lifted Conan in front of Yabuuchi Hiromi.
"Huh? This child looks like Xin Xiao when he was a child! Could it be that..."
Yukiko smiled and said: "Yes! He is the second son Yusaku and I had in Los Angeles, Kudo Conan."
(?_?)?
Hearing Yukiko's words, Conan rolled his eyes silently.
"Hiromi, don't underestimate Conan~"
Yukiko ignored Conan's eye roll and said seriously: "Although this child is still young, he has strong observation and acumen. His reasoning ability is no worse than Shinichi's!"
Strictly speaking, Yukiko's words can't be considered a lie, because Conan's reasoning ability is indeed no worse than Kudo Shinichi's. Who makes them the same person?
"Conan is so powerful! I have to leave it to you this time~"
Yabuuchi Hiromi first touched Conan's little head, and then joked to Yukiko: "It seems that the relationship between you and your wife is very good, but it is too boring not to ask me to go drinking after giving birth to a second son.
, you have to punish yourself with three drinks tonight."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will punish myself with three drinks tonight."
"Deserve it!"
When Conan saw Yukiko shooting himself in the foot, he smiled a little gloatingly.
A typical loving mother and filial piety!
"Guangmei, are there any guests today?"
A vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded, and a broad, fat, bald old man with a gray beard walked over slowly, accompanied by a dark-skinned man.
After Yabuuchi Hiromi saw the visitor, her face changed slightly, and then she introduced with a smile: "Uncle foster brother, she is Yukiko! You used to take me and her to play baseball, do you remember?"
"Uncle foster brother, long time no see." Yukiko said with a smile.
"Um……"
Yabuuchi Yoshifusa stared at Yukiko for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't even remember it. I think it's because I have lived in Brazil for too long."
"Hahaha……"
Yukiko smiled awkwardly when she heard this.
I rely on (‵o′) convexity
After all, I was a very popular female star back then. Is it really that I have no sense of existence?
"Since you and Guangmei are good friends, then you can stay here for a few more days!"
Yabuuchi Yoshifusa smiled and nodded at Yukiko, then turned to greet the dark-skinned man beside him: "Okay, let's go, Carlos."
"Carlos?"
Looking at the departing figures of Yabuuchi Yoshifu and the others, Yukiko asked curiously: "Hiromi, who is this Carlos?"
"He is a long-lasting friend of my foster uncle in Brazil. I brought him back specially this time when I returned to China."
Halfway through Yabuuchi Hiromi's words, she couldn't help but ask Yukiko: "Yukiko, do you think there is anything strange about your adopted uncle?"
"What's weird? What do you mean?"
"I mean, do you think this foster uncle is the foster uncle we met before?"
"Although I used to pester my foster uncle with you in the past, he had already moved to Brazil before I went to elementary school. We haven't seen each other for more than thirty years."
Yukiko frowned and thought for a while, and said with some confusion: "Could it be that the matter you want to ask Yusaku to investigate is about the foster uncle?"
"Yes, to be honest, my foster uncle actually just returned to China from Brazil three days ago, but I always feel that he is a little different from his previous foster uncle."
Yukiko said: "In that case, let your father meet him. I remember that your father and the foster uncle are brothers!"
"That's why there's no other way~ My dad passed away last month due to inflammation, and my mom passed away fifteen years ago. In addition, uncle's old friends from the foster family's past have either passed away.
, or he moved away, so except for you and me, no one else has contact with the foster uncle anymore."
Yukiko's face changed slightly. She had just learned about the death of Yabuuchi Hiromi's father. There was a hint of apology in her beautiful eyes, and then she asked with some confusion: "But why do you care so much about the identity of your adopted uncle?"
"Because of the inheritance!"
Before Yabuuchi Hiromi could explain, a strange voice suddenly sounded, and a middle-aged man with black curly hair walked towards them.
"husband!"
When Yabuuchi Hiromi saw the visitor, she glared at him angrily.
This middle-aged man with curly black hair is Yabuuchi Hiromi's husband, Yabuuchi Hidekazu. He is the son-in-law who married into the Yabuuchi family, so his surname was changed to Yabuuchi.
"What does it matter? Yukiko has such a good relationship with you, so you can't be considered an outsider."
Yabuuchi Hidekazu first comforted his wife, and then turned to Yukiko and said: "My father-in-law is one of the largest landowners in the neighborhood, and he has left a lot of legacy, so we all doubt the identity of this foster uncle and doubt him.
Are you trying to defraud the inheritance left by my father-in-law?"
