The world of science is unscientific

He thought he was already outrageous, but he didn't expect there were even more outrageous people out there.

Is this future boss really human?

With Yusuke Suzuki's help, they quickly escaped the police pursuit.

Yusuke Suzuki only stopped after making sure he had run far enough.

At that moment, a large swarm of fireflies appeared out of nowhere, instantly filling the already sparse space of the forest.

"This is it!"

Numabuchi Kiichiro became excited, looking at the sky full of fireflies like a happy child.

Yusuke Suzuki took out a cigarette, lit it, and relaxed to appreciate the rare sight.

The last time I saw it was when I was a child in my past life.

These are summer memories, but sadly, those memories are so far, far away now.

He glanced at Numabuchi Kiichiro and couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was those who had fallen into the abyss who especially missed the fireflies of their childhood.

At least for him, he wouldn't have thought of specifically coming to see fireflies unless it was a chance encounter.

Meanwhile, the Junior Detective League was also surrounded by flying fireflies.

"So this is the accomplice he was talking about..." Conan noticed the gunfire had stopped. "Maybe that guy also wanted to take one last look at his old childhood friends in this forest?"

"He probably sent Mitsuhiko back because he knew that Mitsuhiko got lost in this forest because of the fireflies."

After leaving the forest, Conan deliberately stayed behind for a while, and then learned from Yamamura Misao that Numabuchi Kiichiro had not been captured.

There was no news of the man in black.

Conan believes that Kiichiro Numabuchi has probably fallen into the hands of the organization.

Police have deployed a large number of officers to search the area around the forest. He wanted to see what the results were, but there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

"By the way, Professor Agasa," Conan said, looking at Professor Agasa, "didn't you call Yusuke-nii?"

"No, I saw that the police were helping, and Yusuke was busy, so I didn't call him." Professor Agasa scratched his head. "What's wrong?"

Conan smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing. I just remembered that Yusuke-nii was also attending a banquet in Gunma, and I was wondering if we could go back together."

"Oh, I see. I'll make a call and ask. The banquet should be almost over by now."

As soon as Dr. Agasa picked up his phone, he found several new text messages, all from Yusuke Suzuki asking about the situation.

Just as he was about to reply, Yusuke Suzuki called.

"Doctor, why haven't you replied to me?"

“I just saw it,” Professor Agasa crouched down so the children could listen in, “Yusuke, are you done with your business?”

"Yes, I just left. Where's Mitsuhiko? Have you found him?"

"We've found him. This child came here to look for fireflies."

"firefly?"

"Yes, Ayumi and Ai had mentioned wanting to see it before, so he specially planned to come over."

"I see... You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Seeing Conan and Ai Haibara shaking their heads frantically, Professor Agasa composed himself and said, "You didn't encounter any danger, but it's a pity you didn't come over. The scene of fireflies dancing in the air was quite beautiful."

"You can come back next year."

"That's true. By the way, we haven't gone back to Tokyo yet. If you live nearby, we can go back together."

"You guys go back first, I'll be here for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Conan still felt something was off. Suzuki Yusuke came to Gunma for a banquet, and they also came to Gunma to look for Mitsuhiko, and they happened to run into Numabuchi Kiichiro.

This is yet another coincidence.

He remembered that his friend never liked attending parties... Could that man in black be Suzuki Yusuke?

But I've already confirmed that the other party has no connection with the organization.

A bit messy.

On the other side, Suzuki Yusuke put away his phone and created a new disguise for Numabuchi Kiichiro.

If the police can't find him in the forest, they will definitely set up checkpoints on major roads. If he wants to take Numabuchi Kiichiro away, disguising himself is necessary.

Soon, Kiichiro Numabuchi's face completely transformed into that of a different person, though features such as his hunchback remained.

As for the handcuffs, Yusuke Suzuki broke them with a little force, but the wrist part was more difficult to handle, and it took quite a bit of effort to open them.

Numabuchi Kiichiro remained silent throughout, pretending he saw nothing.

He's realized the new boss is awesome, so now all he needs to do is watch his mouth.

Thinking of this, Numabuchi Kiichiro asked, "How should I address you, boss or Boss?"

“Call me boss,” Yusuke Suzuki said, cracking his knuckles. “You’ll be my employee. Once your new status is set up, you’ll get your full salary and benefits.”

"Okay, boss, where do we go now?"

"Let's go eat first."

Numabuchi Kiichiro was somewhat surprised. So his boss wasn't joking when he said he was taking him out to dinner?

Chapter 223 Numabuchi Kiichiro: I've Met a Good Boss

Numabuchi Kiichiro must not have had a proper meal in a long time. He didn't care about his image at all and left soup all over the table.

However, he was just a bit too voracious when it came to eating; when it came to sheer appetite, Suzuki Yusuke was the real expert.

After finishing their food hunt, it was almost late at night. Suzuki Yusuke took Numabuchi Kiichiro to a hotel, and they set off back to Tokyo the next day.

There were indeed many more checkpoints along the way, indicating that the police were taking Numabuchi Kiichiro quite seriously.

Overnight, Numabuchi Kiichiro's mindset seemed to have changed significantly, and his energy and spirits had improved considerably.

He himself is a murderer, and his boss is no better. Since he can avoid going to prison, he should live a good life.

Numabuchi Kiichiro has now figured it out; the new boss doesn't need to pull this stunt just to bring him back to the organization.

After returning to Tokyo, Suzuki Yusuke first arranged for Numabuchi Kiichiro to stay at Shimabukuro Kimie's house.

"Numabuchi, I hope you can get plastic surgery."

Yusuke Suzuki found the wine and glass. "Of course, I'm not saying you're ugly."

Numabuchi Kiichiro: "..."

Although he knew his boss was telling the truth, it still hurt his ears. Of course, even if Suzuki Yusuke really thought he was ugly, so what?

He didn't have a choice before, but now he just wants to be an excellent employee.

"During your rest period, I'll take care of your immigration status and then arrange for you to go abroad for cosmetic surgery, and also correct your posture."

Yusuke Suzuki explained his plans, and Kiichiro Numabuchi suddenly felt a little inferior. He had a bad appearance, was hunchbacked, and had a dirty past, so he was likely to be caught if he went out.

Even so, the boss still wanted to give him an important position.

Moving.

Seriously, does the boss have no one else to rely on? He even has eyes for someone like me.

Ahem... Numabuchi Kiichiro quickly corrected his thoughts, "Boss, aren't you afraid I'll just run away after I go abroad?"

“So what if he ran away?” Suzuki Yusuke swallowed a mouthful of amber-colored liquor. “You still have a conscience, so you probably won’t do anything really heinous later.”

Numabuchi Kiichiro was taken aback, feeling something was off. Could someone from that organization really say something like that?

Then he heard Yusuke Suzuki continue, "But you should think carefully before you run away, what will happen if I catch you again."

What will happen?

Numabuchi Kiichiro was subconsciously a little curious.

After looking the humanoid skeleton up and down, Yusuke Suzuki said indifferently, "It's a good specimen. Once you peel off the skin, it'll be a perfect skeleton specimen."

"I've heard that some hunters choose to skin animals alive to ensure the quality of the hides. I don't really believe it; I'd have to try it myself to know, right?"

Numabuchi Kiichiro is a bit of a numb guy. This young man with a gentle smile and excellent demeanor is simply a devil.

The organization never even considered skinning him alive!

"Just kidding." Suzuki Yusuke smiled and gestured to Numabuchi Kiichiro not to be too nervous.

Just as Onumabuchi breathed a sigh of relief, a demonic whisper reached his ears again.

Why would I do it myself?

"Boss! I'll definitely do my best!"

Numabuchi Kiichiro immediately made a promise, while thinking to himself that the current task was only to disguise himself and correct his posture. If he encountered any strange or impossible tasks in the future, he would turn himself in to the police station!

“Good attitude,” Suzuki Yusuke put down his glass and said regretfully, “Sigh, it’s been a while since I’ve broken into a prison… Numabuchi, what are you daydreaming about? Drink up.”

After more than an hour of mental preparation, Kiichiro Numabuchi's mental state changed once again.

During that time, I also experienced firsthand how terrifying the new boss was.

Because Yusuke Suzuki insisted on cutting his hair.

Within just 10 minutes, Kiichiro Numabuchi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, because he felt a chill constantly enveloping his neck.

“Alright, you can stay here. The disguise can last a long time, so you can go out,” Suzuki Yusuke said as he stood up, then took out his wallet. “This is all the change I have. You can use it for now.”

After saying that, he left.

Meanwhile, Kiichiro Numabuchi stared blankly at the stack of cash on the table, seemingly unfazed by the promise of a million-dollar monthly salary from his boss.

After leaving, Yusuke Suzuki went back to his apartment and called his father.

There's no need to go through the organization to get your identity sorted out, nor can it be done that way. It might be okay for someone else, but it's absolutely impossible for Numabuchi Kiichiro.

The old man agreed after asking casually and even suggested doing it abroad, but considering that Numabuchi Kiichiro didn't speak a single foreign language, Suzuki Yusuke still chose a Japanese identity.

"You brat, how did you get involved with a murderer?"

Yusuke Suzuki shifted to a more comfortable sitting position. "I happened to run into him, and I was thinking of asking him to do me a favor."
