Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 24 An Intriguing Question

After Makino opened the gate, Kudo Yusaku smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Kudo Yusaku, and the one next to you is my wife Yukiko."

"Hello, my name is Ryuichi Makino. I just bought this place recently and haven't officially moved in yet." Makino also greeted him with a smile.

After greeting the two, Makino joked casually, "Don't worry, I'm not a thief~"

Hearing this, Yukiko turned to look at Kudo Yusaku and said bluntly: "Look at Yusaku! I told you, how could he be a thief~"

Kudo Yusaku: "..."

Come on...why would you say that in front of someone?
After sighing, Kudo Yusaku looked at Makino apologetically and smiled awkwardly.

Yukiko seemed not to notice Kudo Yusaku's embarrassment and continued to say with a smile:

"No one has lived in this house for a long time. When we came back, we suddenly found a light here. We were a little worried, so we came to take a look~"

After she finished speaking, she came close to Makino again, patted him on the back, and said in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, Yusaku, Ryuichi is not such a stingy person. He has already forgiven you~"

Kudo Yusaku and Makino Ryuichi: "?"

As if he had long been accustomed to Yukiko's erratic personality, Kudo Yusaku sighed softly and turned to look at Makino:
"I'm sorry, it's just as she said. I heard that the previous owner didn't take the furniture with him before he left, so I was a little worried."

Makino smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, you're just thinking about others~"

Kudo Yusaku apologized again, and then suddenly asked: "Makino-kun, do you know Inspector Megure? I seem to have heard him mention the name 'Makino Ryuichi' before."

Hearing this, Yukiko beside her also perked up and asked curiously, "Inspector Megure also knows Makino? What did he say?"

"Makino helped him solve a case, and he seemed to want to recruit him into the Investigation Division," recalled Kudo Yusaku.

"Ah? In that case... Makino, are you a policeman?" Yukiko asked with blinking eyes.

Makino shook his head and said, "Not yet. I haven't graduated from the police academy yet. But I have promised Officer Megure that I will work under him after graduation."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they said goodbye to each other.

Before leaving, Yukiko did not forget to invite Makino to visit her home when he had time.

After arriving home, the Kudo couple were still talking about Makino.

"Makino is so handsome and has such a good personality, he must be very popular with those girls! I just didn't expect that he is a policeman~"

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku suddenly sneezed for some reason.

The next moment, Kudo Yusaku spoke subconsciously: "Yukiko, the girls you mentioned...could they include you as well?"

Yukiko covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha! You also think I'm still a 'girl'~"

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.

Yes, over the years, Yukiko's childish personality hasn't changed at all.

Why did he unconsciously ask that question just now?

Having said that, Ryuichi Makino is indeed an interesting and smart young man.

He now understood a little bit why Inspector Megure wanted that young man to join the Investigation Division.

After seeing the two of them, the young man immediately guessed their "real purpose", which shows that he has strong reasoning and observation skills.

It looks like an ace detective will soon appear in the Investigation Division~
Just as Kudo Yusaku was lost in thought about Makino, Yukiko suddenly said quietly, "By the way, Yusaku..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kudo Yusaku looked up at Yukiko.

After noticing Kudo Yusaku's gaze, Yukiko suddenly revealed an intriguing evil expression: "Have you seen Paradise Lost?"

Kudo Yusaku: "..."

……

The next afternoon, Makino just walked out of the house and saw a little boy holding a football walking towards him. Makino stared at his face for two seconds and suddenly had a strange urge to put a pair of glasses on him.

After passing each other, a smile appeared on Makino's lips.

Although he has been in this world for a long time.

But to be honest, he always felt that something was missing.

It was not until now, after seeing Conan...or rather, the young Kudo Shinichi, that he finally felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

There is also a sense of satisfaction that "this is indeed the world he is familiar with."

Soon after, Makino arrived at the venue for the social gathering - the "Drunk Izakaya".

Seeing Ida Kou and others who had been waiting here for a long time, Makino narrowed his eyes.

At first, everyone said they didn't want to come, but now, I'm the one who came late.

After looking around, Makino found that Kenji Hagiwara was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Makino coming, Yidahang walked up to him and pulled him to his seat, saying excitedly, "Come on, Makino! We're being treated anyway, so let's have a good drink today!"

After a while, several girls arrived one after another.

Although Hagiwara was not there, the girls were very good at livening up the atmosphere. Everyone was talking and laughing and had a very pleasant chat.

Not long after, Kenji Hagiwara finally arrived.

Seeing that the atmosphere among the crowd was good, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

"On my way here, I met an old lady who couldn't climb the long stairs. Later, she said she had lost the lucky sign she had drawn at the shrine..."

After listening to Kenji Hagiwara's vivid description, several girls immediately forgave him for being late.

Ida Kou and the others couldn't help but curl their lips when watching this scene, thinking that this must be a story made up by Hagiwara.

Half an hour later, everyone walked out of the pub and prepared to go to the next destination of the party - "KTV".

Seeing several girls talking and laughing around Makino and Hagiwara, Matsuda and the others sighed.

They suddenly felt a sense of frustration that they had come to the party just to serve as a "foil" for these two people.

Only Ida Ko had no feelings about this. After all, he already had a girlfriend and he was just there to drink.

At this time, an old man with a cane walked up to Morobushi and the others, pointed to Hagiwara Kenji in front of him and said, "Excuse me, are you his friends?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"Can you do me a favor? 'Thank you for carrying me upstairs and drawing the lot for me.' Just tell him this. Thank you very much!"

"Okay...ok."

After the old man left, Date Ko and the others looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that what Hagiwara Kenji had just said was true.

At this time, Matsuda, who knew Hagiwara best, laughed and said, "This guy usually doesn't lie, but he changed the 'grandfather' in the story to 'grandmother', obviously to make the story more interesting~"

Hearing this, several people looked at Hagiwara's back, smiled and shook their heads.

This is indeed his style.
At this moment, Zhu Fu accidentally saw the little girl passing by him, and his face instantly became filled with shock.

"This little girl..."

Just as Morobushi was standing there in a daze, Fūya Rei in front of him turned around and urged, "Hey! Jingguang, what are you doing standing there? You're going to fall behind!"

"Oh...oh, here I come!"

After turning his head to look at the little girl's back again, Zhu Fu quickly caught up with Fūya Rei and his group.
