The world of science is unscientific

"Okay... okay."

Genta seemed to remember his previous experience of being spanked, and immediately confessed everything.

In a fast food restaurant.

"So, it's that serial robber who's been chasing you," Yusuke Suzuki raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you remember what he looks like?"

“Yes,” Genta said, taking a bite of his hamburger, “he looks exactly like the person the police put up.”

"Have you called the police?"

“I reported it to the police a week later...that's when the police put up the wanted posters. It wasn't that I deliberately didn't report it immediately.”

As he spoke, Genta looked at Suzuki Yusuke with some fear. The other man's face was expressionless, just like when he had spanked him!

"And...and I've forgotten where I saw him before."

Upon noticing Suzuki Yusuke suddenly raise his hand, Genta quickly leaned back in his chair. "No, but I've already found the older brother who saw the robber with me!"

Yusuke Suzuki picked up the can of cola in front of him and took a sip. "Are you sure you saw it together?"

“Yes, five days ago, I ran to see what was going on after I heard that someone had been robbed near my house again,” Genta said, recalling the incident. “I didn’t expect to see him among the onlookers. When I saw the robber, the blond guy was right next to me.”

"Right next to you? Be more specific."

At this moment, Suzuki Yusuke was like a policeman interrogating a criminal. The other children didn't dare to interrupt, and Conan listened quietly.

“The older boy seemed to be sitting right next to me at the time, so I thought he must have seen it.”

Yusuke Suzuki, feeling a headache coming on, interrupted, "Remove words like 'seems,' 'thinks,' and 'should,' and tell the truth."

"I was feeling very sleepy at the time, and by the time I noticed, the older boy was already sitting next to me."

Yuan Tai's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he desperately tried to recall.

"Where is that robber?"

Yusuke Suzuki continued to ask in a cold voice.

"He seems to be there, yet he doesn't seem to be there..."

Yusuke Suzuki sighed. "Fine, let's leave it at that. Why didn't you tell the police earlier that someone wanted to kill you?"

“Because he called me…” Yuan Tai looked terrified. “He said if I dared to leak the secret, he would not only kill me, but also kill all my family and friends!”

Kill them all? Including me?

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but wonder what he would do if someone were chasing him.

It's hard to say. The person who can hunt him down is definitely not simple, and dealing with them would be very complicated. Thinking too much about it is too much of a brain drain, so I'll stop thinking about it.

"Genta, come here."

Yusuke Suzuki beckoned to the chubby boy, and after the boy shakily approached, he began to speak in a low voice.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked straight toward a man sitting not far away.

The other person hesitated for a moment, then tried to run away, but Suzuki Yusuke grabbed his collar and turned around, saying, "Genta, do you know this person?"

"Big brother!?"

Yuan Tai was shocked. Wasn't this the older brother who had seen the robber with him?

"You, you're here too, little brother..." The blond guy looked nervous. "Can you let me go now? Otherwise I'm going to call the police."

“Go ahead and call the police,” Suzuki Yusuke said, taking out his phone, pulling up Megure Juzo’s number, and handing it to the young man. “If you don’t call the police today, I’ll look down on you.”

"you!"

“Is it really such a coincidence every time? Genta keeps running into you at crime scenes, and now you’re here again,” Suzuki Yusuke said, lifting him up and slamming him against the wall. “Ever since you came in, you’ve been secretly glancing this way.”

"I...I was just curious," the blond guy said, a little out of breath. "I...I was just curious, so I...I was eavesdropping..."

Suzuki Yusuke's strength waned, and his opponent immediately clutched his neck, gasping for breath.

"Okay, I've launched a malicious attack on you. Call the police."

As he spoke, he handed the phone to the blond guy again, "You don't want to report it, huh? I'll report it for you."

Fifteen minutes later, Inspector Megure arrived with Officer Sato.

"Brother Suzuki, what's going on?"

“This guy is a serial robber, and I caught him,” Yusuke Suzuki said quickly, pointing at Genta. “He can testify.”

The juvenile detectives were dumbfounded; the development of the incident was a little strange.

Chapter 129 is still a travel invitation.

As they walked out of the police station, the three children looked at Suzuki Yusuke with admiration. That blond guy really was the robber; his fingerprints matched those found by the police.

As for Conan, he looked annoyed, probably driven to despair by Suzuki Yusuke's 'unreasonable case-solving' once again.

After seeing the children off, Suzuki Yusuke took Haibara Ai to where he had parked his car.

"For you."

Yusuke Suzuki handed the newly purchased cell phone to Ai Haibara.

"A cell phone?" Ai Haibara asked curiously. "Why did you give me this?"

“I was planning to pick you up from school today, but I didn’t run into you guys,” Yusuke Suzuki started the car, “so I was thinking of buying you a cell phone so it would be easier to keep in touch.”

Ai Haibara didn't say anything, but brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked out the car window.

Back at Professor Agasa's house, Suzuki Yusuke cooked as usual, and after eating, he left his number in Ai Haibara's phone, then said goodbye and left, picking up Asuka along the way.

He didn't want to go out while jet-lagged, so he didn't come to pick up Asuka.

That evening, Yusuke Suzuki received a phone call from Kogoro Mouri.

"I heard from Conan that you're back, you brat. Why didn't you call your teacher?"

"I've been jet-lagged these past few days and I'm feeling really tired. I was planning to tell you after I fully recovered."

"Seriously, by the way, I've already drunk two bottles of the wine I bought on my last trip. It's really good! Come over sometime and we can drink together, haha."

"How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow... I almost forgot, Yusuke, how about we go on a trip tomorrow?"

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

Wow, I got a travel invitation as soon as I got back?

Then go!

The next day.

"The air here is so fresh!" Ran Mouri stretched contentedly. "Yusuke-nii, you think so too, right? People should spend more time in nature."

“What is this?” Kogoro Mouri said with dissatisfaction. “Even if the air here is good, there’s no need to take a taxi and go through all that trouble to get through this forest.”

“What does it matter? We’ll get to the hotel we’re going to once we cross the forest,” Ran Mouri said, looking at her father. “Anyway, it’s still a long time before our agreed time.”

As Suzuki Yusuke stretched his neck, Conan walked beside him. "Is the teacher planning to go over and take a hot bath first?"

"Yusuke, you understand me even better than Ran, hahaha."

At that moment, Conan suddenly interjected, "Do you know why the uncle is wearing sunglasses today?"

duang~

"I want you to talk more!"

"Dad!" Ran Mouri pulled Conan behind her protectively. "Don't keep hitting Conan's head. Also, wearing sunglasses doesn't give people a good impression."

Kogoro Mouri adjusted his sunglasses with one finger. "How can that be? I can't exactly tell them that the famous Kogoro Mouri got bitten on the eyelid by a mosquito."

"Besides, if there are any of my detective fans in that hotel, I'll be so embarrassed."

As he was speaking, the bumbling detective kicked something and fell forward. Luckily, Suzuki Yusuke reacted quickly and caught him, otherwise the famous detective would have fallen flat on his face.

"That was close..." Kogoro Mouri said, still shaken. "Thank you, Yusuke."

Then he yelled, "Which scoundrel put this stone here?!"

“This is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva,” Ran Mouri said, squatting down. “It fell down somehow, so we have to straighten it up.”

Just then, a sharp screech of brakes came from behind them.

"Don't move!" someone in the car shouted. "If you lift that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva up, you'll all be cursed!"

Mountain village maneuver!?

Yusuke Suzuki then realized who was shouting and wondered how he had run into him here.

"Isn't this the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, whom I almost arrested last time?" Yamamura Misao moved the car forward a little. "What brings you here today?"

Kogoro Mouri clearly didn't want to deal with this rookie police officer, and casually replied, "I just happen to have something to do at the Aoi-ya Inn up ahead."

"Oh, you're not going to investigate that unidentified deceased person in the red coat, are you?"

"right..."

“I went to the Aoi-ya Inn this time precisely to deal with this case,” Yamamura Misao said, looking around at the surrounding forest. “His body was found in this Toujin Forest.”

After saying that, he naturally continued to explain, "The so-called Head God is a plague god that causes headaches."

It is said that people who are prone to headaches will be captivated by the Head God as soon as they enter the depths of the forest, and will never be able to leave.

So this place has always been a popular spot for suicide. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva you were trying to help up earlier was a fallen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva used to suppress evil spirits.

Mouri Kogoro: "..."

What to do? He felt that Yamamura Misao was the incarnation of the God of Head on earth, and he felt a headache whenever he saw this guy.

“Since we’re both going to the Aoi-ya Ryokan, I’ll drive you there,” Yamamura Misao said enthusiastically. “Eh? This… ring… ring…”

"Suzuki."

"Mr. Suzuki is here too, hahaha."

So this guy just saw him?

Yusuke Suzuki was very curious, since he was standing right next to the bumbling detective!
