After explaining his motive for the murder, Norifumi Saku was taken away by the police, and Kogoro Mouri was also released.

the next day.

"It's such a shame you didn't see it," Yamamura Misao said excitedly beside Kogoro Mouri. "Your wife's reasoning is truly sharp; she's no wonder she's the wife of Sleeping Kogoro!"

"So what did you do back then?"

"I followed her instructions and set a trap!"

Mouri Kogoro: "..."

Get lost, really, I'm tired.

He happened to see Eri Kisaki sitting not far away, and walked over with his hands in his pockets.

"I'm so sorry, Eri, I've always believed that you could clear my name," Kogoro Mouri continued awkwardly. "By the way, I'm almost tired of Ran's cooking. I really miss your cooking now."

Yusuke Suzuki, whose hearing was excellent, was taken aback. "Teacher, are you even speaking human language? What dish do you miss, grilled pork tenderloin or beef soup?"

“I think it’s about time you came home…” Kogoro Mouri continued, “I can’t take it anymore.”

"Today happens to be our wedding anniversary, so we figured we might as well do it today."

Seeing that his wife had no reaction at all, Kogoro Mouri sensed something was wrong and turned Eri Kisaki's shoulder, "Hey, are you even listening!"

"what?"

Eri Kisaki turned around and took off her headphones.

An awkward moment from the famous detective +1.

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but chuckle. He stepped forward with Ran Mouri, giving Eri Kisaki's MD a meaningful look, which earned him a warning glance from his teacher's wife.

These two are hopeless. Wouldn't it be great if they took this opportunity to make up?

Chapter 85 Arsonist

After returning from Karuizawa, time started acting strangely again.

Yusuke Suzuki received travel invitations from Kogoro Mouri for three consecutive days, which means that Conan is on vacation again, and once again.

However, he declined them all, since running around every day is really boring, and it's better to stay at home and rest. After all, he's not a workaholic like Conan.

That night, driven mad by hunger, the bird tore its own nest apart.

"Just hang in there, Asuka."

Yusuke Suzuki patted Asuka's head tenderly, then left the apartment to buy Asuka a new home.

Ok?

Isn't that Ayumi?

As Yusuke Suzuki was driving, he suddenly saw a small figure standing in front of a vending machine by the roadside.

"Ayumi, is that you?"

Yusuke Suzuki pulled over and called out to the other person. There were no adults around, and it was already late; it was dangerous for a child to be out alone.

"Yusuke-nii?" Ayumi turned around, somewhat surprised. "What are you doing here?"

“I should be asking you that,” Suzuki Yusuke said as he got out of the car and walked to Ayumi’s side. “Why are you here alone so late?”

"I'm here to buy toys, and my mom is over there."

Just then, a man emerged from the alley next to the vending machine. He was wearing a long overcoat and a hat, had a long beard, and smelled of gasoline.

Ayumi looked at the man with some fear until he drove away.

"Ayumi, what are you looking at?" Rie Yoshida walked over carrying a bag, then looked at Yusuke Suzuki. "You are...?"

(Rie Yoshida: A fictional name created by the author. Ayumi's mother never appears on screen and we don't know her name, so I'll just make one up myself.)

"Yusuke Suzuki".

He took the initiative to extend his hand to introduce himself.

After the two shook hands, Yoshida Rie covered her mouth and smiled, "Thank you so much for taking care of Ayumi and the other kids."

“The children are all very cute. I just happened to be passing by and saw Ayumi all alone here, so I came over to check on her.”

In front of the parents, Suzuki Yusuke naturally wouldn't say that the kids were naughty. Just by looking at Yoshida Rie's clothes, accessories, and demeanor, he could tell that she was from high society, although he hadn't heard much about her.

After chatting for a while, Yusuke Suzuki drove away.

Shortly after he left, a fire broke out not far from where he had parked his car.

then......

The next morning, Yusuke Suzuki went to the police station again.

As Sato Miwako listened to Ayumi's description, she drew the suspect's likeness on a piece of paper, while Suzuki Yusuke testified from the side.

He only saw a side profile from where he was standing last night, and didn't pay attention to the back, but Ayumi saw the person's face.

After she finished drawing, Sato Miwako's drawing skills were criticized by several children. That's right, Genta and Mitsuhiko were there too, along with Conan and Ai Haibara.

“I couldn’t help it,” Sato Miwako explained, blushing. “Mr. Tomokawa, who draws portraits at the bureau, just happened to have a cold and took the day off today.”

At this moment, Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori came over and stabbed Miwako Sato twice more.

"From the perspective of Surrealism, this painting is not bad."

After hearing the teasing, Miwako Sato retorted, "If you're willing to draw it for me, I'd be more than happy to do it."

Neither Wataru Takagi nor Ninzaburo Shiratori had any artistic talent, so they were immediately speechless and awkwardly stood there.

“Oh…right,” Takagi Wataru quickly changed the subject, “Actually, we’re not sure yet that the man Ayumi saw was really the arsonist, are we?”

"What are you saying?" the Junior Detective Club said in unison, "Ayumi is lying, isn't she? Besides, Yusuke was there too."

“That’s right. Although I didn’t see him commit the crime, I can be pretty sure that he was the arsonist. I smelled gasoline on him.”

Yusuke Suzuki emphasized, "Now we should hurry up and think about where the next possible arson site is, right?"

“It’s such a hot day, yet he’s wearing a long coat and leather gloves,” Conan added, “and he just happened to come out of an alley near the fire.”

“In that case, shall we go to that alley first?” Sato Miwako said gently to the children.

"I'll go with you."

Upon hearing Takagi Wataru's words, Shiratori Ninzaburo couldn't sit still any longer and quickly came over, saying, "Let's take my car."

“No need to trouble yourself, I’m going to another place anyway, I’ll just pass by on the way,” Sato Miwako said as she packed up her sketchbook. “Actually, today is a special day for me.”

"Officer Sato, is today your birthday?"

“No, quite the opposite.” Sato Miwako turned to look at Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had asked the question.

Yusuke Suzuki thought for a moment and immediately remembered which case it was. There were quite a few arson cases in the Conan world, and judging from the current plot, it should be the arson case in the detective love story.

To be honest, he missed several episodes of "Detective's Romance".

“If it were the other way around, then today would be your death anniversary,” Yusuke Suzuki joked, looking at Ninzaburo Shiratori.

Shiratori Ninzaburo: "..."

He didn't know how to respond to those words.

"No, today is the anniversary of my father's death." Sato Miwako gave Suzuki Yusuke an annoyed look. "Let's go."

Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Ninzaburo eventually caught up.

Conan and Ai Haibara were sitting in his car. The two little adults didn't say a word, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

Ahead, Miwako Sato parked her car at an intersection.

She took out a bouquet of flowers and placed it under a street lamp by the roadside, then closed her eyes as if in prayer.

“Oh right, I remember now,” Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly said, “Eighteen years ago today, Officer Sato’s father died at this intersection while chasing a robber and murderer.”

"Die at a crossroads?" Takagi Wataru asked, puzzled.

"Yes, after he chased the truck to this place, he was hit by a truck. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily that day, and the ambulance was late in arriving. He died right in front of Sato and her daughter who rushed over."

"The Case of the Sorrowful Man".

Conan couldn't help but start rambling, "The detective who was hit by the truck kept repeating 'Shusou, Shusou' to the fleeing murderer, and that's how the case got named the Shusou Case. It remains unsolved to this day, and the statute of limitations expired three years ago."

Seeing everyone around Conan looking at him with disbelief, Yusuke Suzuki slowly stepped forward and flicked Conan on the forehead. "How did you know that, kid?"

Conan, regaining his senses, quickly tried to find someone to take the blame, saying, "This... Uncle Mori told me all of this."

Even if you say you saw it on TV, that's fine, Yusuke Suzuki thought to himself, suppressing the urge to call Kogoro Mouri.

Conan is like this, just try to understand him. As long as he doesn't drag Ai into doing anything reckless, you can tolerate him.

Chapter 86 Don't do anything to ruin other people's relationships

Everyone accepted Conan's explanation.

Wataru Takagi also said that he had seen it on TV and had some impression of it. "The only clue in that meticulously planned crime was the less than ten-second video recording taken by the security recorder of the bank robbery."

“It’s not the only clue,” Miwako Sato stood up. “My father’s police handbook recorded the suspicious character KAN O in katakana.”

"Actually, as far as I know, the police do not want this information to be leaked. Judging from the records before and after, the police believe that these three words have a great impact on the case."

Miwako Sato said regretfully, "Later, the police asked my mother and me if we had heard this word before. I often thought to myself, if anyone can solve this mystery and catch 'Sorrowful Man,' I will definitely agree to whatever he asks."

really?I do not believe.

Yusuke Suzuki thought to himself, putting aside the erotic content, if he asked Miwako Sato to join the organization to commit murder and arson, would she agree?

Even if they agree, they'll probably find a chance to kill themselves.

He looked at Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Ninzaburo, and could tell at a glance what the two were thinking—they were definitely asking Sato Miwako to marry them.

Genta: "If I guessed it, would you treat me to a hundred servings of eel rice?"

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

That's all the ambition this kid has.

The children all shared their wishes, and Ai Haibara wanted to speak up too, but then remembered that she already had the latest Prada bag, so she decided not to.
