Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 543

Night falls.

Kitahara Chinese Restaurant has ceased operations and is now in its final stages of preparation.

At this point, only Kitahara Natsuhiro remained in the restaurant.

Amuro Tooru, Wakita Kanenori, Ai, Miyano Akemi, and others had all gone home after get off work.

Since they have to work tomorrow, Ai and Akemi Miyano naturally won't invite Kitahara Natsuhiro to play cards, because staying up late will make them unable to get up during the day. They'll wait until they have a holiday.

However, Yukiko has some free time today and plans to find Kitahara Natsuhiro to alleviate her loneliness and, incidentally, talk about her recent troubles.

It's clear that even successful career women have their own worries, and perhaps even more.

Because Yukiko had to confront the deceit and treachery among businessmen.

Fortunately, with the help of the Suzuki conglomerate, the company is progressing quickly, and even some troublesome matters do not require Yukiko's concern.

This matter was handled by Tomoko Suzuki, and Shiro Suzuki was aware of it and strongly approved of it.

Since Kitahara Natsuhiro had done the Suzuki family a favor, it was only right that he help out.

If it weren't for Kitahara Natsuhiro, they would have lost face at the Suzuki Zaibatsu's 60th anniversary celebration.

Compared to the tiny bit of kindness shown to them, losing face is far more painful than killing them, especially losing face in front of so many people.

Therefore, the Suzuki family made demands on Kitahara Natsuhiro.

In the end, they even gave it away to the lady of the house; they were incredibly generous.

However, just as Kitahara Natsuhiro was closing the door and preparing to leave, Conan suddenly came down from the Mouri Detective Agency, came over, and asked a question directly.

"Is there something going on between Amuro Tooru and Wakita Kanenori?" Conan asked in a deep voice.

He had asked Kitahara Natsuhiro and his mother about it some time ago.

Although their answers differed, he learned one thing: Kitahara Natsuhiro possessed the information he sought.

And if you're ever unsure what to do, you can ask Kitahara Natsuyu, that's what his mother told him.

But he also said that whether or not he wanted to talk about it was up to Kitahara Natsuhiro, and no one could force him to.

Even if it were Yukiko, she wouldn't, and wouldn't, force Kitahara Natsuhiro.

After all, this is Conan's own business. He's already a seventeen-year-old high school student, an adult, so he needs to solve some things on his own and can't rely on others for everything.

Because some people are unreliable.

After all, it's Yukiko herself!
Yes, Yukiko felt that she was the unreliable one, so she felt that she was not capable of helping Shinichi and that Shinichi had to rely on himself.

She even thought it would be good if Shinichi grew up like this again, so that he and Ran, an older woman and a younger man, would be a perfect match.

It's just a bit tough on Xiaolan.

However, ultimately it depends on Conan himself; she thinks it's okay.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu laughed, put one hand on his hip, and said, "Why would you ask that?"

Amuro Tooru and Wakita Kanenori definitely have a problem. Conan finally figured it out. He's so slow.

But that's normal, these two guys are top-notch at disguise, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to fool Conan, the famous detective.

However, in the original work, Conan knows that Amuro Tooru and Wakita Kanenori have a problem, and he will use his intelligence to solve the case.

Because by then he had already begun to let himself go.

As for Conan now, he's already racing in that direction.

When Conan heard that Kitahara Natsuhiro did not directly deny his question, he already knew that there was something wrong with these two people.

So he didn't continue asking that question, but instead asked a different one.

"What does their coming here have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu patted Conan's head and said, "You're really smart, kid. You're quick-witted."

This sentence also revealed the answer to Conan: it really was because of me!
Thinking of this, he immediately became nervous.

"What's there to be nervous about? Don't tell me you've just been targeted, or that only these two people are targeting you," Kitahara Natsumi said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Conan felt even more apprehensive.

"Um... was I that obvious?" Conan asked, looking surprised.

"?" Kitahara Natsuyu chuckled at this remark: "Isn't it obvious?"

"Shinichi Kudo disappeared, and then you appeared, and Kogoro Mouri rose to fame. Then, every time you came up with a bunch of amazing things at the crime scene, you also showed knowledge that was inconsistent with your peers. Anyone would be curious."

"Moreover, those with ill intentions are human beings."

"You really have absolutely no self-awareness!"

After hearing this, Conan thought about it and realized that it really was true.

He certainly made it very obvious, no wonder people suspected him, and even Sera Masumi already knew his identity.

Thinking of this, a smirk involuntarily crept onto his face.

There's nothing we can do about it. He's a detective, and when he encounters a case, he can't control his detective instincts and wants to solve it, so he does a lot of outrageous things and says shocking things.

It's all a detective's instinct; you really can't blame him.

Moreover, he has been reflecting on his actions and has not been as high-profile during this period.

But it's too late now. We already know what we should know, and we also know what we shouldn't know.

"But since they suspect me, why haven't they come looking for trouble? Have they not observed me closely enough, or..." Conan stared at Kitahara Natsumi and said in a deep voice, "You've helped me solve a lot of trouble?!"

This was something his mother had reminded him of, and he only remembered it now.

Yes, if things have developed to this point, then those guys probably already know who they are, and it's impossible that they haven't taken any action yet.

Therefore, he felt that someone must be helping him behind the scenes, and that person was very likely Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Because this man has always been very confident and has never been stumped by anything.

They can even solve some cases better than these detectives.

A true monster.

Therefore, it is only natural that Kitahara Natsuhiro would help him deal with some problems behind the scenes.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

I never realized I was so relaxed; someone was really carrying the burden for me.

"Hmm!" Kitahara Natsuyu didn't deny it: "Of course, otherwise you would have been dead long ago."

"Besides me, who else would be willing to help you, you troublesome wretch?"

"Professor Agasa and Heiji Hattori are indeed willing to help you, and they are even risking their lives to help you. You should be grateful."

To be fair, Professor Agasa and Heiji Hattori are truly Conan's right-hand men. If it weren't for them, Conan would have been finished long ago.

Of course, we also have to include Ai Haibara and Kaito Kuroba. However, in this world, Ai hasn't helped Conan much, and neither has Kaito Kuroba.

In the original world, Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara, Heiji Hattori, and Kaito Kuroba were Conan's right-hand men.

They really will help if something happens, and they're willing to help even if it's very dangerous.

"I will always remember this, and I will definitely repay them in the future, and I will also repay you." Conan bowed deeply to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"Alright, stop bowing here. I don't need your favor, as long as it doesn't implicate your mother."

Upon hearing this, Conan said, "Are you helping me so as not to implicate my mother?"

"Otherwise, why would I help an arrogant brat like you who doesn't know how to restrain himself?"

“I did all this for your mother, so that she wouldn’t have to bury her child. But you almost died back then,” Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Upon hearing this, Conan's cheek twitched, and he thought to himself.

Sure enough, this guy knows everything, including what happened to me back then.

But who exactly is this guy? How does he know everything?

He didn't think Kitahara Natsuhiro was just an ordinary physical education teacher.

But one thing is certain: he had no ill intentions towards his mother.

If she harbored ill intentions towards her mother, she wouldn't have given her 1 billion yen in start-up capital, and she wouldn't have cared about it at all.

Furthermore, my mother is extremely carefree now, so Kitahara Natsuyu is definitely not a bad person.

Although he's not a bad person, he's a scumbag who's been juggling multiple relationships.

This is probably Kitahara Natsuhiro's only flaw.

Is this a big drawback?

It is big if you say it is big, and it is small if you say it is small.

If they think it's big, then it's big; if they think it's small, then it's small.

They don't care about any of that now.

"But who were those people back then? Who invented this drug? Is there really an antidote?" Conan asked several questions in a row.

Kitahara Natsuhiro did not answer the question: "This is what you should be doing, and you didn't come here to ask."

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest, or your sister Xiaolan will be calling you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the window on the third floor opened, and Ran looked down and called out again, "Conan, what are you doing?"

"Brother Xia Yu."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu glanced upwards and said with a smile, "Ran, Conan asked me a few questions about school here. He'll be back soon, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Xiaolan relaxed: "Oh, I see."

"Then you two talk."

After saying that, she closed the window.

Then, Kitahara Natsumi looked at Conan and said, "Alright, I'm going to find your mom now. Don't call me or your mom unless it's necessary, as it will disturb both of us."

“If we get disturbed, you’re in big trouble tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Conan couldn't hold back any longer and said irritably, "Hmph, those despicable adults, they just enjoy their own nightlife and don't care about the physical and mental health of a child like me."

"Ha, you said you would rely on yourself before, how come you've changed your mind now?"

"Stop dawdling here and get out of here."

Kitahara Natsuhiro kicked Conan in the butt, then waved and turned to leave.

Conan rubbed his butt, watched Kitahara Natsumi's departing figure, and sighed, "When will I ever be able to go back to my original form?!"

He complained for a moment before turning around and going upstairs.

After returning to the third floor, he called out, "I'm back."

Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was still drinking and watching TV in the living room, and he was already slightly tipsy.

And this is Kogoro Mouri's daily life.

As for Xiaolan, she was doing her homework and reviewing her knowledge in her room.

After leaving the restaurant, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not immediately go to find Yukiko, but instead went to find Wakita Kanenori.

At that moment, Kenjiro Wakita was on the phone with his subordinates when he was startled to see Natsuhiro Kitahara suddenly appear. He immediately prepared to pull out his pistol from the drawer, but before he could move, he was controlled by a hypnotic spell.

But the call is still ongoing.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro controlled Wakita Kanenori to continue speaking, gave the person on the other end of the phone a perfunctory answer, and then hung up the phone.

Then, he opened the drawer, saw a pistol, picked it up and played with it for a moment, and then threw it into the unknown space.

When Kenshinori Wakita wakes up and finds his pistol missing, he will be very anxious, thinking that someone has entered the room, or even that someone has discovered his identity. He might run away or even move to another place.

However, this has nothing to do with Kitahara Natsuyu; he's just here to have some fun.

He was also very curious about what would happen next, and he would keep a close eye on it.

Now, he intends to use hypnosis to erase part of his memories of Conan so that he can start over and continue investigating Conan.

Then, when the investigation reaches the most crucial point, a new cycle begins, repeating itself endlessly.

And this time, Kenjiro Wakita is planning to make a move against Sera Masumi, thereby drawing out Sera Mary from behind the scenes.

The plan was all set and ready to go, but then Kitahara Natsuhiro came knocking on their door.

Poor thing.

soon
Kitahara Natsuhiro dealt with Wakita Kanenori, and then went to deal with Wakita Kanenori's underling, the man he had just spoken to.

After everything was settled, he arrived at the place where Yukiko was currently living.

Since starting her company, Yukiko has stopped staying in hotels and instead found an apartment nearby, right next to Vermouth.

However, Vermouth is quite busy and is often not at home. Today is no exception; she has gone to carry out a task assigned by the organization.

Ding Dong
Ding Dong
At that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro rang the doorbell.

Da da da.
A few seconds later, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside the room, and then the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and Yukiko jumped directly into Kitahara Natsuhiro's arms, still wearing a camisole nightgown, looking very cool.

"Yukiko, why are you being so enthusiastic today?"

"I miss you. It's been a while since we've been intimate, and I really miss it."
