The world of science is unscientific

Conan suddenly felt a dangerous sense of unfamiliarity, but this feeling was fleeting.

It's probably just a hallucination caused by being in a bad mental state...

Just as he was about to ask, Suzuki Yusuke explained to himself, "I hadn't driven far when I thought it might be inconvenient for the teacher to take a statement by himself, and it was snowing, so it would be better if I took him back."

"This, this is it..."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He could confirm this by asking Ran or Uncle when he got back. It seemed that he had really been overthinking it.

However, Yusuke Suzuki spoke up again.

"Conan, there are your and Dr. Agasa's footprints in the yard, some new and some old, but Dr. Agasa's footprints are only old."

Considering yesterday's light snow, the fact that the old footprints are still there means you ran out with long strides, which is why the footprints are deeper.

"So, what did you and Professor Agasa do last night? Where is the professor now?"

Chapter 278 He's so good at it!

Conan was dumbfounded. Did this guy observe so carefully when he came to Professor Agasa's house?

When they left and returned yesterday, it was snowing lightly over Tokyo, which suggests that it was very likely that it snowed lightly throughout the night.

The issue of footprints can also be explained; since Yusuke Suzuki asked about it directly, it means that he must have already discovered it.

What should I do? How should I explain this?

Conan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly speaking, "Well... last night I was playing games with Professor Agasa, and then..."

I can't find a suitable reason at all!

He made up his mind and said, "Then I heard on the radio that there was a group of jewel thieves in Gunma who were heading towards Tokyo, so I went with the professor to catch them."

However, instead of raising further questions as he had expected, Yusuke Suzuki gave him an "I see" look and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the other person say softly, "I see. That makes sense. It's something you'd do. But next time, don't bring the doctor along. Be more considerate of the elderly. He should still be giving a statement at the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

"Of course, don't try to take me with you either. It's best not to do such risky things again."

After saying that, Conan got a sharp tap on the forehead, the kind that really hurts.

Ah this...

Conan didn't know what to say.

So, in his friends' eyes, he was someone who caused trouble?

He initially wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed he was...

"Come over and eat."

Ai Haibara seized the opportunity during a gap in their conversation to speak.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ai." Suzuki Yusuke stood up and went over to give his wife a loving pat on the head.

No, no.

Ai Haibara lowered her head to set out the cutlery, and when she looked up, she saw that Conan had already started eating.

This guy!

"What's wrong?" Conan looked up blankly. "Haibara, it tastes pretty good."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ai Haibara's signature thank-you-style witty remark.

Not long after breakfast, Professor Agasa returned. Conan used the opportunity of opening the door to complete the exchange of statements before leaving with peace of mind.

Dr. Agasa had worked hard all night and was exhausted. He simply greeted Yusuke Suzuki and went back to his room to sleep.

So, only Ai Haibara and Yusuke Suzuki remained in the room.

Ai Haibara put down her teacup, kicked off her slippers, and sat cross-legged next to Yusuke Suzuki.

Yusuke Suzuki immediately understood and put his arm around the little girl's shoulder.

"I really like the smell of you after you take a shower," Ai Haibara said with a light laugh, sniffing the air.

She still remembers that the first time the two had a close encounter was when she took the initiative to smell Suzuki Yusuke's scent.

Just like today, she had taken a shower before coming over, and her body carried a fresh scent of herbs and trees, as well as a faint fragrance that made her heart race slightly.

But Ai Haibara blushed after she finished speaking.

Moreover, when she was with Suzuki Yusuke recently, she couldn't help but look at his Adam's apple and chin.

I really want to touch it!

She suddenly wondered if what she was doing was a little bit abnormal.

Suddenly, Suzuki Yusuke pulled her into a tight embrace, rested his chin on her head, and said in a languid tone, "Then you'll definitely like it better this way."

How could this be... This man is really something.

Two minutes later.

Ai Haibara, her face flushed, forced herself to come to her senses and pushed herself away from Yusuke Suzuki's chest with both hands.

"I... suddenly remembered that the kitchen hasn't been cleaned yet, wait a minute."

Yusuke Suzuki cupped her face in his hands, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes...yes..."

"Then let me help you."

So the two of them started cleaning together. This wasn't the first time, and they worked together smoothly and efficiently.

After cleaning the kitchen, Yusuke Suzuki, wanting to make things easier for his wife, volunteered to do a thorough cleaning.

The rare leisurely time has passed by more than halfway.

In the afternoon, the two cleaned the yard again.

In the evening, Professor Agasa woke up, and Yusuke Suzuki and Ai Haibara had just finished cooking dinner.

After finishing his meal, Yusuke Suzuki took his leave and headed to Base 2.

...

In the lounge, Hakuba and Malashinu were also there. Even more surprisingly, Kiel and Shimizu Reiko had also come over. Suzuki Yusuke had never seen the two of them at the base before.

Ireland, who was at odds with Gin, sat in the corner, still looking defiant and unconvinced.

Yusuke Suzuki came over but only caught the last syllable before Gin had already said everything he needed to say.

Kiel smiled at him and walked away, Ireland following closely behind.

"Mary, you've done a good job on your recent missions. We'll go to Hokkaido tomorrow."

As soon as Gin finished speaking, Shimizu Reiko turned and left.

Hakuba and Malashinu glanced at Vodka, and seeing him secretly shake his head, they turned their gaze to Suzuki Yusuke, who had just arrived.

That look in his eyes...

Yusuke Suzuki took a sip.

It's an invitation to play cards!

Never mind, I have things to do today.

He shook his head directly.

White Horse and Malachinu both sighed and went out the door.

"Gin, so the organization does have meetings?"

"It's just to check on these guys," Gin scoffed. "Not seeing them for too long might cause problems."

Yusuke Suzuki shrugged to indicate he understood, then asked, "What about that software?"

"It's up to that person."

"Tsk," Yusuke Suzuki shook his head, displeased, "Am I, the person in charge of this mission, not even qualified to take a look?"

"If you want to know, you can ask that gentleman directly."

Gin lit a cigarette and took a puff. "What could possibly make you refuse to play cards?"

"Oh, you found out." Suzuki Yusuke was not surprised at all, his tone was flat and without any inflection, which made Vodka feel very awkward.

Yusuke Suzuki sat down on the sofa. "I originally wanted to see that software. If I'm not mistaken, you know what that software does, and Vermouth probably knows too."

"Of the three responsible persons, I'm the only one who doesn't know about them."

"You're just being emotional."

Gin replied with the same flat sentence.

“Heh, I’m not a child,” Yusuke Suzuki stood up. “By the way, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Vermouth. I wonder if she deserves some credit for the successful completion of this mission?”

"You two actually thought of the same thing."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Gin didn't bother to answer, but Vodka whispered, "Vermouth just said that she doesn't need to take credit for this part."

"At least she has some self-awareness," Yusuke Suzuki said slowly, suppressing his anxiety. "She's gone."

Chapter 279 Passing by

Upon arriving at the base entrance, Yusuke Suzuki opened the car door and got in.

However, instead of starting the car, he slowly lit a cigarette and used the rearview mirrors on both sides to observe the surrounding ground.

Vermouth always rode a motorcycle. He had noticed when he came over that there was a gap between White Horse and Malashinu's motorcycles, but he remembered that the two of them used to park almost side by side.

Moreover, the gap was not large enough for another car to stop.

He hadn't thought anything of it before, but after hearing what Vodka said, he immediately realized what was going on.

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't stay in the car for too long, as that would be very unusual, but fortunately he had already noticed the faint tire tracks on the ground.
