The world of science is unscientific

People naturally associated it with the phrase "running away from home".

"Really!?" Asami Tsuburaya exclaimed in surprise, "This is often shown in TV dramas!"

...

Yusuke Suzuki finally understood why Mitsuhiko could still cause trouble after encountering so many dangers.

There's nothing else to it, mainly because my family is supportive...

The situation in the other two families is probably the same, right?

That's not right either. At least Ayumi's family shouldn't have this kind of thinking. A girl running around with several boys all day long, and often in danger.

He doesn't think normal parents can feel at ease.

While Suzuki Yusuke's thoughts were wandering, Conan also found some clues: Mitsuhiko's absence from the National Health Exercise every Sunday indicated that he had been planning this for a long time.

Looking up at the calendar, Yusuke Suzuki showed no emotional reaction to the fact that he was still in school yesterday, but today, summer vacation had already been going on for many days.

It's mainly because I'm used to it.

"Does Mitsuhiko have a girlfriend?"

Ayumi has been in love with her boyfriend for a long time; this is the first thing she says.

The group continued to make 'reasonable' guesses, then went out to look for the person, but still couldn't find them.

Yusuke Suzuki originally wanted to run away, but then he remembered that Ai Haibara was there too, so he gave up the idea. It wouldn't hurt to just go along with the everyday stuff, since he had nothing else to do anyway.

Chapter 220 Numabuchi Kiichiro

The group soon arrived at Beika Station. After asking around, they learned that Mitsuhiko had bought his ticket and left from there.

Yusuke Suzuki had been trying to recall the plot the whole way, and now he had some new ideas.

"Doctor, I have to attend a very important banquet in Gunma Prefecture soon, so I'll be leaving now. Please let me know by phone if you encounter any problems."

"Huh?" Professor Agasa was taken aback for a moment. "Alright then, I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

Yusuke Suzuki crouched down and patted Ayumi and Genta on the head. "Don't be too impulsive when something happens. Remember to listen to the professor, otherwise..."

"I...I understand." Yuan Tai swallowed hard and nodded slowly, his buttocks still throbbing slightly.

Ayumi also indicated that she understood.

He glanced at Conan and Ai Haibara one last time before turning and leaving.

After he left, Conan looked at Ai Haibara beside him and asked, "Is there really some kind of banquet?"

“Yes,” Ai Haibara replied without hesitation, “He mentioned it to me before.”

"Yeah......"

Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After getting into the taxi, Yusuke Suzuki found a place to get out, then disguised himself and headed to Base 3, driving off in a black Mazda.

He recalled that there was another interesting guy who would be making an appearance this time, namely Numabuchi Kiichiro.

An organization once tried to train someone to be a top assassin.

His physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people; he is as light as a swallow and possesses terrifying explosive power comparable to that of a wild beast.

However, this guy still didn't meet the organization's expectations. He was supposed to be sent to Sherry as a human experiment subject, but he ran away beforehand.

He was already burdened with the guilt of three murders while in a state of fear.

According to Suzuki Yusuke's recollection of the original plot, this person has now shown signs of reforming, his personality is still relatively intact, and he still has good intentions.

Considering that I am currently developing my strength, there is no reason not to try and win over this guy.

As dusk approached, Yusuke Suzuki arrived at his destination.

A forest in Gunma Prefecture.

He didn't know where Numabuchi Kiichiro was, but he just needed to find Mitsuhiko's trail.

After entering the forest, Yusuke Suzuki searched for a while and then came out again.

Finding Mitsuhiko is quite difficult, so let's wait for Conan and the others to come over, and then we can just follow them.

As dusk approached, Conan and his friends finally arrived.

Yusuke Suzuki watched from a distance behind the bungalow; Ai Haibara looked absolutely stunning in the sunset.

Ahem... I digress. He turned his gaze back to Conan, and seeing the other man adjusting his glasses, he knew that Mitsuhiko's location had been detected.

Just as Conan detected the location, Ai Haibara raised a question, "Tsuburaya-san, who is usually cautious and doesn't act on his own, would actually go off on his own this time without telling us. Why is that?"

"Running away from home..."

Professor Agasa said, "Don't think the worst. Maybe he came for some special reason, like following a girl he fell in love with at first sight."

"Don't people always say that first love tastes like a lemon?"

...

Conan turned around speechlessly. "I think we should leave first."

Yusuke Suzuki followed slowly from the side and behind, somewhat speechless.

Why don't these people seem to be in a hurry at all?

Why are you walking so slowly? Aren't you afraid that Mitsuhiko might get lost?

Once inside the forest, Yusuke Suzuki was forced to keep his distance even further, as it was difficult to conceal the noise he made in this environment.

After walking for a while, Conan and his friends suddenly spotted a group of adults not far away.

Genta instinctively wanted to rush over and ask, but recalling Suzuki Yusuke's 'smiling threat' before he left, he seemed to suddenly freeze and stopped moving.

"Wait a minute, let me go ask. You guys stay here for now," Professor Agasa gave the order, but Conan had already run out first, with Ai Haibara following closely behind.

Conan turned to look at Genta, and thought, "Well, my friend didn't warn me."

I, Conan, have the right to act independently!

"Professor, shouldn't we follow the past?" Genta had already made up his mind to follow Professor Agasa's lead.

"Yes... yes."

Professor Agasa was a little confused. Normally, Conan and Ai should be standing in front of him right now; something was strange today...

Speaking of which, Yusuke's intimidating presence is truly impressive.

The group went over to take a look and found that it was an acquaintance.

Mountain Village Exercise.

Yusuke Suzuki recognized the guy from afar; with him around, the search would be much slower.

Another hour passed by in a leisurely fashion.

At that moment, Suzuki Yusuke spotted Numabuchi Kiichiro, who was hiding in a tree, silently watching the group below.

He knew that Numabuchi Kiichiro had no intention of hurting anyone, but was just here to reminisce about his childhood, so he wasn't in a hurry and instead crept over slowly, hiding his footsteps.

Close the distance, so it'll be easier to chase after him later.

Numabuchi Kiichiro was naturally agile, as evidenced by the fact that he could climb a tree even with his hands handcuffed.

Suddenly, Ai Haibara turned her head and glanced in the direction where Yusuke Suzuki was.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked, looking in that direction as well.

Ai Haibara was silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination."

Just then, Ayumi looked up and saw Numabuchi Kiichiro in the tree. He was practically a skinny skeleton covered in bones, which instantly terrified Ayumi and made her scream.

Numabuchi Kiichiro jumped down and ran away.

After determining the direction, Yusuke Suzuki also flanked from a distance.

Conan was still paying attention to Kiichiro Numabuchi when he heard a commotion in the distance. He turned around and saw a pure black shadow running at high speed.

! !

Men in black!

Conan's pupils contracted; that feeling was unmistakable!

Wait, isn't this the direction Ai Haibara was looking in just now?!

Conan's first instinct was to reach out and stop Genta, "Wait, he knows this forest better than we do, and it's getting dark. Chasing after him would only put us at a disadvantage..."

Hey?

He turned around and found that Genta was standing obediently next to Professor Agasa, showing no intention of chasing after him.

A little awkward...

"In any case, it's more important for us to find Mitsuhiko first."

Taking a break, Conan noticed that Ai Haibara's expression was off, so he leaned over and asked, "Did you sense something just now?"

“Hmm…” Ai Haibara nodded, “But it disappeared in an instant. There are organized people in the forest.”

"But your expression doesn't have to be that bad, does it? There are police officers in the forest too, aren't there?"

“It’s not because of that,” Ai Haibara lowered her head, “it’s because of Kiichiro Numabuchi.”

"Numabuchi Kiichiro?"

"Hmm, I didn't even notice him at all."

"Wait, you mean!?"

“That’s right, Kiichiro Numabuchi was also a member of the organization before.”

Chapter 221 Then pledge your allegiance to me.

Upon hearing this, Conan's eyes widened.

The images of Gin and vodka instantly flashed into his mind, along with Chris Vineyard and the young man who had rescued him from the cellar.
