"Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need, just wait for me here."

Yusuke Suzuki got up to leave, but Akako Koizumi followed him.

"I insist on going with you."

"Could you please not stand so close to me?"

"no!"

Back at her apartment, Koizumi Akako tidied her hair and nails, opened the living room window, and then flew away on her broom without looking back.

So it was all for her hair and nails after all... Suzuki Yusuke lit a cigarette by the window, and Koizumi Akako's figure quickly disappeared into the deep night.

After finishing his cigarette, Kogoro Mouri called, and the wind outside the window suddenly turned much colder.

Is the world about to change again?

Yusuke Suzuki closed the window, arranged a meeting time with the bumbling detective, then took a shower and went to bed.

The organization is very wary of each other finding out each other's identities, and it would seem strange to hang out with Gin every day. Now, all we can do is wait for those few people to come out on their own.

Come to think of it, he now feels that Koizumi Akako's appearance is not so simple, and he has overlooked the sense of unfamiliarity he felt in the park at the beginning.

Sigh, troublesome things just keep coming one after another. It's good to go out and relax with Kogoro Mouri.

There was no reason for him not to take Ai Haibara with him when he went out to relax, so he made plans with his little wife as well.

The next day, the weather turned to winter, and Suzuki Yusuke was too lazy to drive. Anyway, there was a newly opened car rental shop for the bumbling detective to mess around with.

Chapter 170 So it was about drinking...

"Teacher, logically speaking, we came here to soak in the hot springs, right?"

Faced with his disciple's hushed question, Kogoro Mouri scratched his head sheepishly, "Well, we just happened to run into each other... and Ran seems quite interested."

Five people sat in front of a brazier, snowflakes danced in the sky, and Ai Haibara wanted to curl herself into a ball.

Directly ahead, a group of people were performing what they called a requiem dance, and someone was explaining to them who this ceremony was commemorating.

Yusuke Suzuki found it utterly boring; all they talked about were stories from hundreds of years ago about village chiefs leading their villagers in armed conflicts.

Seeing that Ai Haibara was freezing, he simply opened his trench coat and pulled her into his arms. As for Conan, well, never mind.

It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I don't like having two women on either side of me.

"This feels so unreal..." Ran Mouri listened intently, lost in thought.

Yusuke Suzuki felt that staying any longer was not an option, so he controlled his voice to become sinister, "The soul of General Hideyuki, who died 500 years ago, still wanders the mortal world..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ran Mouri looked at him with her half-moon eyes and said, "Yusuke-nii, are you trying to scare me again?"

You saw right through me.

"Ran, have you seen enough?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, complaining, "Shouldn't we head to the hot springs?"

"However, the pass leading to the hot springs has been blocked due to snow."

At that moment, a young man spoke up behind them.

"Is that so?"

"Dad, what should we do?"

"In that case, we'll have to find somewhere to stay nearby tonight."

Conan peeked out from under his scarf. "But I don't see any hotels around here."

“In that case,” the young man interjected, “there’s a family with the surname Da Men a little ahead. I was just about to go there myself. If you don’t mind, why don’t you come along?”

Suzuki Yusuke thought to himself, "Do you have a grudge against that family with the surname Damen?"

However, we can't spend the night in the woods right now. He can handle it, but the others can't. So let's go. Anyway, we were mentally prepared before we came.

The snow was still falling, and the snow on the road was already quite thick. Kogoro Mouri was driving very carefully.

"Can we really go with you?" Ran Mouri still felt a little uneasy.

“Yes, it’s better to have someone with you,” the young man said, leaning against the car window. “Actually, the head of the Daimon family is the president of Daimon Industries.”

"He's quite famous." Kogoro Mouri knew this person, but not for a good reason.

"The president is a ruthless man who will stop at nothing for money, he's hostile towards his family, and he often argues with the candidate for the next president..."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yusuke pretty much knew who the victim in this case was. "President Daimon, we are truly sorry for our intrusion."

At the same time, he also wondered if the position of company president was a bit too risky. Should he withdraw from the front line as soon as possible? In case his company was also destroyed by Conan one day.

"It sounds like you know them quite well..." Ran Mouri listened for a while, a little puzzled.

The young man turned around and explained with a smile, "Because I'm their youngest son, my name is Yoshiaki Daimon. Actually, I haven't been home for several years."

......

Upon arriving at the Daimon family's house, Daimon Yoshiaki led them inside for a visit.

"Lianglang, what are you doing back at this time?"

Daimon Kazuki, the eldest son of the Daimon family, did not show any kindness to his younger brother's arrival.

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for five years, you don't have to be so cold."

Yusuke Suzuki and his group of five stood awkwardly at the back, but luckily a young woman came to their rescue.

"How about this, let's go inside and talk about it?"

“Hey Hatsuho, this isn’t your place to speak,” Kayoko Daimon said, looking at Yusuke Suzuki and the others. “Ryoro, who are these guys?”

"My name is Suzuki Yusuke. I happen to know Yoshiro, so I brought my teacher and his family to pay a visit."

Yusuke Suzuki was already in a bad mood these past two days, and this woman's arrogant attitude only made him more annoyed.

This large industrial enterprise may seem like a big business, but in his eyes it's nothing special.

As soon as he spoke, the Daimon family members were stunned for a moment. Ai Haibara and the others also looked at him with some surprise. In their memory, he never seemed to have the habit of using his status to intimidate others.

"teacher?"

Kogoro Mouri cleared his throat and took off his scarf. "I should also introduce myself. Actually, I'm from Tokyo..."

However, someone inside the room interrupted.

"What are you arguing about now?"

Genichiro Daimon came out. "Ryoro, you're back."

He was somewhat surprised to see the bumbling detective. "Isn't this the great detective Kogoro Mouri?"

"A detective!?" Daimon Ichiki exclaimed softly, walking to his father's side. "Father, this young master from the Suzuki family has also come to pay a visit."

So Suzuki Yusuke reintroduced himself, and seeing that Daimon Genichiro was about the same age as his father, he casually complimented him, "By the way, my father mentioned you to me before, saying that you are a very outstanding person."

Daimon Genichiro became happy. "Please come in quickly. I also greatly admire Mr. Mori. Please stay here tonight."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the pretty young lady who had spoken up to help him out earlier, "Chu Sui, quickly go and prepare guest rooms for Suzuki-kun and Mr. Mori."

Hojo Hatsuho nodded in agreement and led Suzuki Yusuke and the others into the house.

"Everyone, please come with me."

The young lady had a very gentle voice and quickly led them to their destination. "You can also take this walkway at the back to the courtyard. The snow scenery there is absolutely stunning, and it's a great place to take a stroll."

Yoshiro Daimon was with them. Speaking of which, this young master of the Daimon family actually had to stay in a guest room when he came home.

"I'm really sorry about that," Yoshiro Daimon said, still apologizing for his older brother and sister-in-law's attitude. "It was really inappropriate of them to treat guests like that."

“Please don’t say that,” Kogoro Mouri waved his hand. “We shouldn’t have come here so rashly.”

Conan suddenly interrupted, "Hatsuho-neechan, where is the restroom?"

So the gentle young lady was taken away by Conan.

"I'll come and keep you company in a bit."

Yoshiaki Daimon looked at Kogoro Mouri, making a clenched fist with one hand and swaying it up and down.

"You really know me well..."

???

Yusuke Suzuki was shocked. Could someone really accompany someone in something like this?

He could understand that his teacher had been separated from his wife for many years, but how did Yoshiro Daimon figure it out at a glance? He even offered to keep him company, and what's more, Kogoro Mouri agreed!

At this moment, Ran Mouri said with dissatisfaction, "Look at you, you're so embarrassing."

Oh, so it's about drinking...

Chapter 171 Love each other as a family

Yusuke Suzuki regretted his inappropriate thoughts for two seconds, then looked at Ai Haibara and asked, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Ai Haibara glared at him. "Thank you. I'll go myself if I need anything."

"Looks like we'll have to go to the hot springs tomorrow," Yusuke Suzuki chuckled. "By the way, why do you girls insist on wearing skirts in this weather?"

Ai Haibara didn't answer his question. Instead, she looked at Kogoro Mouri and said, "I don't think I can go tomorrow either."

Hmm? It seems like someone is subtly criticizing me!

Kogoro Mouri subconsciously turned around, but unsure who it was, he simply continued exchanging glances with Yoshiro Daimon.

......

“Your house is truly magnificent,” Kogoro Mouri complimented habitually. “We’re so sorry to be able to stay in such a nice place.”

“No, this is an old house,” Daimon Genichiro said modestly. “We usually need to do some renovations.”

Then, he looked at Suzuki Yusuke and said, "I didn't expect that Yoshiro would be able to get acquainted with the Suzuki family's son. Is your father still living abroad most of the time?"

"Please don't say that. Making friends is all about sincerity," Suzuki Yusuke toasted the other man. "My father hasn't been back to Japan for many years, but he should be back soon."

After all, the old man is about to clash with Phantom Thief Kid, and he'll have to consider whether to give his little brother a good beating.
