The world of science is unscientific

The famous detective's reputation was once again tarnished.

Fortunately, the jewels were not stolen, and the performance was successfully completed.

That completes the task.

Maki once again invites the bumbling detective to Hakodate.

Below the sightseeing building.

Numabuchi Kiichiro stood bewildered in the wind.

The boss called him over, but now he's not replying to text messages or answering phone calls.

They just went missing, right?

There's nothing we can do; if we can't get in touch with them, we can only wait.

He was dressed in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, and took out a cigarette to cosplay as vodka.

Conan, who had returned earlier, was completely terrified.

The words "Black Organization" immediately appeared in his mind, and the character portraits of Gin, along with Wei Que and others, instantly rose to life.

After hiding and observing for a while, Conan discovered that the other person didn't look much like Vodka.

Then I shifted my gaze again.

Isn't that my friend's car?

After brainstorming, Conan connected the man in black in front of him with a figure he had seen in the crowd earlier.

Their body types are indeed very similar.

He's one of my friends' subordinates...

But why did we suddenly come here?

Could it be that the Black Organization has tracked down Haibara again and is about to make a move, which is why her friends sent her to keep watch?

A quick glance revealed no other suspicious individuals.

Furthermore, if Haibara were truly in danger, why would her friends go with her to capture Kid?

Conan, who had just relaxed, tensed up again and looked up into the distance.

I wonder how things are going between my friend and Phantom Thief Kid, and whether they've managed to catch him.

It must be said that he underestimated his opponent this time.

Even without Yusuke Suzuki, he was confident he could catch up with Kaito Kid on the train.

However, he was completely helpless afterward.

Taking off your parachute pack right away was indeed a bit presumptuous.

He could just drop his friend down, and after Kidd took off, he could continue chasing after him.

If I had thought things through carefully, I wouldn't have ended up slinking back here all alone.

Thinking this, Conan walked towards the direction of Kiichiro Numabuchi.

The other party is a subordinate of a friend, so they're practically one of our own. It shouldn't be a problem to say hello.

Right.

"Um...excuse me, are you Yusuke's subordinate?"

Conan spoke first, his face full of childlike innocence, "I'm good friends with Yusuke-nii."

Coming to his senses, Numabuchi Kiichiro looked down and realized it was this kid.

I think his name is Conan.

Speaking of which, the two of them have some history. If he hadn't seen this kid while protecting Miss Haibara earlier, he might have really revealed some flaws by now.

Those are all things of the past...

“Oh, it’s Conan,” Kiichiro Numabuchi crouched down. “Do you know where the boss went? I can’t get in touch with him now.”

Conan nodded. "He's currently chasing Kaito Kid, so he shouldn't have time to check his phone. Did Yusuke call you over, Uncle?"

"Hmm, this is really troublesome," Numabuchi Kiichiro sighed as he stood up. "You're probably going inside, right? I'll just wait here for the boss to come back."

Just then, his phone vibrated.

He quickly took it out and saw that it was an email from his boss.

The address is included; the boss needs him to pick it up now.

Numabuchi Kiichiro opened the car door and got in. Just as he was about to start the car, he found that Conan was already sitting in the passenger seat, with his seatbelt fastened.

"kid......"

"I'll go with you. You're going to pick up Yusuke-nii, right?"

Conan swung his legs cutely, "Let's drive, Yusuke-nii probably doesn't like waiting for people."

Numabuchi Kiichiro couldn't help but chuckle; this kid was indeed quite extraordinary.

Anyway, the other party is Haibara's friend, so the boss shouldn't blame them.

Moreover, if Conan hadn't led the police to find him, he would have starved to death in the attic.

As soon as they set off, Conan began a barrage of questions.

"Uncle, are you also a Japanese public security officer?"

"Uncle, were you in charge of protecting Ai Haibara before?"

"Uncle, why have you never shown your face before?"

"Uncle, how long have you been following Yusuke-nii?"

"Uncle, you..."

Numabuchi Kiichiro's good temper, which he had cultivated over this period, almost collapsed. He pressed the horn in annoyance, "Kid, aren't you asking way too many questions!"

Conan gave an awkward smile and chose to keep quiet.

After questioning him for so long, the only thing the other party admitted was that he had indeed led his men to secretly protect Ai Haibara.

In addition, he also took on the roles of Suzuki Yusuke's driver and bodyguard.

Conan pouted. No wonder he'd never seen this before.

Do friends really need drivers and bodyguards?

This is a complete waste of money.

Seemingly sensing a hint of disdain, Numabuchi Kiichiro became angry, "If you keep thinking nonsense, don't blame me for throwing you out of the car!"

Feeling threatened, Conan completely relaxed.

Why be so fierce? Can't you even think about it?

Half an hour later, Yusuke Suzuki sat in the back seat.

He wasn't surprised that Conan would come along.

In terms of timing, it's almost inevitable that Conan will run into Kiichiro Numabuchi when he returns.

He wasn't worried that Conan would trick Numabuchi into revealing anything; even the dumbest person would know to remain silent.

Conan asked impatiently, "Where's Kid? Did he get away?"

Yusuke Suzuki rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette. "I caught him, but I let him go."

Upon hearing this, Conan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

This outcome is understandable.

He didn't doubt the truth of the story that 'Yusuke Suzuki caught Kaito Kid'.

After briefly introducing Numabuchi Kiichiro's current identity, Suzuki Yusuke began calling Haibara Ai.

The other party only calls him under special circumstances; otherwise, they send him text messages.

When the call connected, Ai Haibara briefly inquired about the situation, his current location, and whether he would return.

Yusuke Suzuki explained everything in detail.

Shortly after, the white Catera stopped outside the Shiodome Observation Deck.

Kogoro Mouri and his group stood at the door waiting.

Yusuke Suzuki got out of the car with Kiichiro Numabuchi and introduced him to everyone.

"Dude, how come I didn't know you had a bodyguard?"

Hearing his younger sister's words, he reached out and tapped his head, "Because I don't usually need it."

"That's right."

Sonoko Suzuki and the others nodded in agreement.

Kiichiro Numabuchi felt that he had been hurt.

This is practically public execution!

It's as if he's completely useless.

Kogoro Mouri, being the smooth talker he was, was the first to greet Kiichiro Numabuchi.

After some polite exchanges and becoming acquainted with the group, the former fugitive murderer managed to infiltrate the Red Team.

The happiest person has to be Ai Haibara.

Slow Sheep is really alright, that's great.

Chapter 482 Determination is a lie, action canceled.

After exchanging pleasantries, it was getting late.

Yusuke Suzuki instructed, "Tomoya, could you please take Mr. Mori and the others home?"

Kogoro Mouri declined at first, but then accepted.
