The world of science is unscientific

Why did Yusuke Suzuki suddenly leave alone and go there?

No way......

Could it be that what your friend is saying now is something he just 'saw with his own eyes'?

Thinking about it!

Or perhaps ghosts really do exist.

Alternatively, we should consider sending our friend to a mental hospital.

Of course, there is another possibility: Suzuki Yusuke was just looking for a cell phone signal.

This kind of thing has happened before, okay?

He knew all too well that his friend was someone who couldn't live without his phone.

Choosing not to tell the other person what they did with their phone is just standard practice.

Conan increasingly felt that this line of thinking was quite reliable.

The logic suddenly became self-consistent, the worries in my heart disappeared, and I felt instantly relaxed, even my steps became much lighter.

He was simply retracing his steps; Suzuki Yusuke wasn't going to get lost.

The three little ones successfully went out to conduct their investigation and can now sleep peacefully.

Back at his lodgings, Kogoro Mouri still had a sliver of consciousness left, but he used even that last bit of lucidity to sip from a bottle of sake.

People were lying drunk everywhere.

I wonder if Ai is asleep or not.

Yusuke Suzuki looked up at the room through the ceiling and said, "Go back to your room and rest."

"Yes~~~"

The three little ones agreed with unusually quickness.

It's only a little past ten o'clock, but there's really no way to kill time.

The large room was already made up with bedding, and Suzuki Yusuke lay down, covered himself with the blankets, and started to sleep.

An hour later.

Mitsuhiko slowly opened his eyes, not daring to move, and could only observe Suzuki Yusuke by the faint moonlight.

"Mitsuhiko, is Yusuke-nii asleep yet?"

"Shh!! Genta, keep your voice down," Mitsuhiko said, propping himself up as he saw that Suzuki Yusuke wasn't moving. "He's probably already asleep."

"Shall we set off now?"

Ayumi, who was also awake, peeked out from under the covers.

"hold on."

Five minutes later, Suzuki Yusuke sensed that the three little ones had quietly left the room.

He's too lazy to care anymore.

I've told you so many times, but you still won't listen, will you?

Then let them do what they want.

Downstairs, Mitsuhiko and Genta formed a human ladder and opened the bolt on the front door.

Genta was still a little hesitant. "Mitsuhiko, is this really a good idea for us?"

“The door is already open, Genta,” Mitsuhiko said, turning back to Ayumi. “Let’s go to where Yusuke-nii was. Maybe we can see the ghost with our own eyes.”

"Isn't this what we came here to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Genta and Ayumi finally mustered their courage and followed Mitsuhiko out the door.

...

"Mitsuhiko, do you remember where this is?"

Yuan Tai observed with a flashlight, feeling that each intersection looked very similar.

"It seems to be just ahead," Mitsuhiko said, a little unsure. "Let's take a closer look; it should be around here."

"Ayumi, you need to stay close to... us..."

As Mitsuhiko spoke, he turned around, and a chill instantly swept over his forehead.

"Genta...Ayumi is missing!"

Chapter 436 Conan: I'm Really a Scoundrel

"Ayumi!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko ran back a short distance, calling out Ayumi's name, but received no response.

Now they were completely panicked.

"Mitsuhiko... what... what do we do now?"

"I have no choice but to hurry back to find the adults," Mitsuhiko said, holding his head in regret. "I should have never come out."

"What's the point of saying all this now? Let's go back quickly."

The two started running, and since the door wasn't closed properly, they could have just gone in.

First, open the lobby door, and you'll find all the drunkards sleeping soundly.

"Let's go find Yusuke-nii."

Mitsuhiko knew he would get scolded, but he had to find Ayumi first.

He hurried upstairs and knocked on Ran Mouri's door first.

Right now, Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara are snuggled up in bed, whispering to each other about some funny things that happened when Ran was a child.

Hearing the sound, she put on her coat and opened the door.

"Mitsuhiko? What happened?"

Mitsuhiko recounted the details of the incident, and Ran Mouri's expression changed drastically.

She hurriedly went back to her room to change her clothes, and Ai Haibara got out of bed with her when she found out.

The four then found Yusuke Suzuki.

"Yusuke-nii...Yusuke-nii..."

Ran Mouri gently shook Yusuke Suzuki's arm. Conan had already been woken up and was scolding Mitsuhiko and Genta with a sour face.

Yusuke Suzuki, who was in a deep sleep, was not easy to wake up because his alertness did not detect the danger.

In the end, Ran Mouri had to use a little more force to wake him up.

Upon opening his eyes, Yusuke Suzuki glanced around and immediately understood the situation.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Mitsuhiko's face, which showed the deepest sense of guilt, before he closed his eyes and turned away.

"Yusuke-nii?"

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's voice, Yusuke Suzuki said quietly, "Ran, did they apologize?"

"apologize?"

Ran Mouri quickly understood Yusuke Suzuki's meaning and said worriedly, "Let's hurry up and find Ayumi. We can apologize later..."

"No, right now."

Yusuke Suzuki emphasized, "This is a mess they made themselves, and now we have to clean it up. If it were the first time, it would be understandable, but unfortunately, this is not the first time."

Mitsuhiko could no longer hold back, tears streaming down his face as he bowed deeply. "Brother Yusuke, I'm so sorry! It was my idea that led me out so late. I shouldn't have taken Genta and Ayumi out. It's all my fault."

Genta said the same thing, "Me too. The plan was originally made by the three of us together. I'm sorry, Yusuke-nii!"

"Is this the end?"

Yusuke Suzuki sat up, his expression still calm, and silently looked at Mitsuhiko and Genta.

"Yusuke-nii...is that enough?"

Ran Mouri crouched down and whispered something. Ai Haibara also felt a little sorry for him, but she believed that Yusuke Suzuki must have his own reasons for doing this.

As for Conan, he really didn't expect his friend to get so angry, and because of his status, he couldn't say anything.

Mitsuhiko and Genta were a little stunned. Wasn't this kind of apology enough?

Seeing that the two children hadn't grasped the most important point, Yusuke Suzuki spoke up.

"Your apology to me and to Xiaolan is not important."

"In the end, I'm practically your elder, or maybe just a friend. I can accept that you've betrayed my trust. It just means I won't hang out with you anymore."

"But you need to think carefully: if something happens to you, who will be the most heartbroken?"

"And after what happened to you, will Ran, Mr. Mori, and I also have to bear the pain of grief and the blame from your families?"

"Should all of this have happened?"

"No, these things are entirely avoidable."

"It was your own willful actions that pushed what was originally a beautiful reality toward an irreversible state."

Yusuke Suzuki spoke in a very calm tone, as if he were stating something ordinary.

"Didn't Xiaolan and I take you out to play during the day?"

"After dinner, didn't I accompany you to investigate that so-called ghost rumor?"

After he finished speaking, the air in the room became very quiet, with only the sobs of Mitsuhiko and Genta rising and falling.

After waiting for a while, Ran Mouri carefully spoke up, "Yusuke-nii, let's go find Ayumi first."

Ai Haibara walked to Yusuke Suzuki's side and said softly, "Ayumi is still out there alone, we don't know where she is. Let's talk about it after we find her."

At this moment, Mitsuhiko and Genta wiped away their tears and bowed again, "Please, Yusuke-nii, save Ayumi!"

"It's not as serious as you're making it out to be."
