The world of science is unscientific

Seeing that Sakaki Shokichi looked grim and remained silent, the young police officer approached him and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience."

As he spoke, he rolled up the other person's sleeve.

"This...this is...an allergy to lacquer trees!?"

“That’s right,” Suzuki Yusuke continued to put pressure on Sakaki Shokichi, “I was the first to discover Mr. Nagakura after he was attacked, and I found the same allergic symptoms on his hands.”

"And neither of you had an allergic reaction at dinner time, which can be easily confirmed by asking the other people in the guesthouse."

With a sharp edge, Yusuke Suzuki's eyes narrowed. "This is the best evidence that you attacked Mr. Nagakura. Of course, if you insist on denying it, that's fine too. The fingerprint comparison on that knife should also yield results."

“Even if you wear gloves, you absolutely cannot dispose of it in such a short time. It’s inevitable that the police will find it.”

"And most importantly, Mr. Nagakura is not dead yet. When he wakes up, it shouldn't be difficult for him to identify you."

After saying that, Sakaki Shokichi relaxed, and Suzuki Yusuke released his grip, letting him slump to the ground.

Unlike his previous confessions, Sakaki Shokichi said nothing and simply sat there.

"By the way, let me explain about the jewelry robbery."

Yusuke Suzuki lit a cigarette, as if instructing a subordinate.

Unexpectedly, Sakaki Shokichi, who had been silent all along, suddenly sneered, "A jewelry robbery? What do I have to say? Nagakura Eiji forced me to come to this village as a hostage, and I escaped while he was hiding the jewelry."

"After learning of his suicide, I decided to come here to retrieve the jewelry and hide it away. I was in a state of extreme panic because you saw me, and that's why I accidentally attacked Mr. Nagakura."

"You said Mr. Nagakura isn't dead, right?"

Sakaki Shokichi's smile grew increasingly sinister.

How many years in prison can someone get with a confession like that?

He's not at his wit's end yet!

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but chuckle, then leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered in their voice, "It wouldn't be difficult for me to forge a recording as evidence."

"Moreover, even if you go to jail, I still have ways to kill you. I can give you a definite answer right now: your death will be within three months of your imprisonment."

For some reason, Sakaki Shokichi's heart involuntarily leaned towards believing.

"Officer! This man is arrogant..."

Sakaki Shokichi had just let out a sound when he froze as if he had lost his soul.

The image he saw through his unfocused eyes was of a girl with long, wine-red hair and a cute little girl.

The girl looked at him with disdain, while the little girl, with tears in her eyes, cried out to him, "Give me back Eiji!"

Chapter 446 See you at 3 AM

Yusuke Suzuki was naturally able to notice this sudden change.

He turned around abruptly and found Koizumi Akako standing not far away, watching him with an alluring smile that sent chills down his spine.

As for the rest of the people present, they naturally didn't see anything.

All they knew was that Sakaki Shokichi had suddenly gone mad.

The young officer started to worry, "Hey, cheer up!"

"I'm fine, officer."

Sakaki Shokichi opened and closed his mouth, and although his expression was still somewhat blank, it had become much more normal.

He then recounted how he planned the robbery and how he murdered Eiji Nagakura.

The young police officer glanced at Suzuki Yusuke first, then took out his notebook and took notes seriously.

After Sakaki Shokichi finished explaining everything, Koizumi Akako and Asami also disappeared.

My head hurts...

So they finally came knocking on our door?

Koizumi Akako shouldn't hurt anyone else, and judging from the rules of the world, that woman wouldn't have any interaction with Conan.

Let's find out what their purpose is first.

Once the matter was settled, Sakaki Shokichi was taken away by the police.

Having heard the testimony, Kogoro Mouri knew the whole story and naturally wouldn't question Yusuke Suzuki anymore.

If his apprentice solves the case, it's as if he solved the case himself.

So......

Let's celebrate with a drink!

The group returned to the house. Since the Nagakura couple were both in the hospital, the bumbling detective naturally asked Suzuki Yusuke for help with getting some snacks to go with the drinks.

As for Ran Mouri's obstruction.

It's understandable that the detective is so clueless, isn't it?

What brings you here this time?

Traveling and having fun.

Isn't it perfectly normal for him to have a drink?

And now there's no need to worry about what might happen if I'm drunk, since the case has been resolved and there's no potential threat anymore.

Under the influence of the bumbling detective's bizarre logic, Ran Mouri somehow ended up in the kitchen, helping Yusuke Suzuki.

Ai Haibara also came along.

"Ai, you should go back to your room and rest. I'll come up after I'm done," Ran Mouri glanced at her phone. "It's getting late."

“It’s okay,” Ai Haibara shook her head and smiled. “I’m not very sleepy right now, so it’s no trouble to help out.”

As the two were talking, Suzuki Yusuke had already washed a basket of vegetables and tossed it in front of the two women, saying, "Pick some, we'll need them later."

"That person really knows how to order people around."

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, Yusuke Suzuki's face twitched.

He's not in an organization now, and the person assisting him isn't Vodka.

He had no choice but to precisely control the water droplets on his hands and flick them onto the two women's faces, saying, "If you're going to be an assistant, you have to be prepared to be one."

Ai Haibara refused to back down, wetting her hands and retaliating, but she was no match for Yusuke Suzuki on her own.

With no other option, she simply asked for help from the sidelines, dragging Ran Mouri, who was watching the show with a smile, into the fray.

"Yusuke! Why isn't it ready yet!?"

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's urging, the three of them stopped cooking and began preparing the food.

It must be said that the three of them had a great understanding of each other, and everything proceeded smoothly.

Just two minutes later, Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara suddenly looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After laughing, Ran Mouri said, "Yusuke-nii, I really didn't expect you to have such a... childish side."

After pausing for a moment to choose the right words, Ran Mouri thought back to what she had said.

No problem, Suzuki Yusuke was indeed like a child just now.

Of course, she herself was the same.

Suddenly, she looked at Ai Haibara, then her gaze shifted to Yusuke Suzuki, who hadn't turned around.

Is this unexpected personality trait only revealed in front of Ai?

How wonderful, these two are like siblings even though they are not.

Come to think of it, Sonoko's lack of closeness with Yusuke might be due to her age and the fact that she rarely sees him.

Yusuke is truly a wonderful older brother.

I really hope that Shinichi can get to know Yusuke properly too.

Ran Mouri believes that Shinichi Kudo will definitely get along well with Yusuke Suzuki, not to mention that Yusuke Suzuki is also a very good detective, even though he won't admit it.

Conan, who was already settled in his little bed, suddenly sneezed. After touching his nose, he took off his glasses.

Honestly, why hasn't Yusuke come up yet? I was hoping to review the case details again.

This reasoning has nothing to do with him again.

Moreover, this is a rare case where Yusuke Suzuki chose to personally conduct the deduction.

It would be even better if we could find out the reason.

For a lazy friend to be so proactive, there must be something about them that they care about.

For example, the last time we went to Karuizawa, my friend, understanding that he had a sore throat, stepped in to make the deductions.

Recalling that case, Conan sighed with relief.

At that time, his friends already knew that he was Shinichi Kudo, but he still chose to be understanding towards himself.

Sure enough, his friend was a two-faced guy; he clearly cared, but he always played pranks on him.

The phrase "like an older brother," which Yukiko Kudo had mentioned before, immediately came to mind.

"No, no," Conan shook his head.

He doesn't acknowledge his brother; at most, he can only admit that Suzuki Yusuke is a partner with whom he can solve cases, fight against organizations, and live together.

downstairs.

Yusuke Suzuki and the two women quickly finished their work.

It's a pity there were no peanuts, otherwise he would have been tempted to have a few drinks.

Wait a minute......

After Suzuki Yusuke went upstairs, he suddenly thought of something.

If things go as planned, I will have two more junior brothers in the future, namely Bourbon and Rum.

He specializes in Chinese cuisine, Bourbon specializes in Western pastries, and Rum handles Japanese food, all paired with Kogoro Mouri, who loves eating and drinking the most.

Ah this...
