The world of science is unscientific

I should apologize.

She found Suzuki Yusuke's number, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed it.

“Beep…beep…beep.”

"It's definitely not the right time to make a phone call," Ai Haibara thought with a sigh of relief. "It's good that they didn't answer; I hadn't even thought about what to say."

Just as Ai Haibara was about to hang up the phone, a voice came through her ear, "Is that Ai?"

"..."

"Ah."

After giving a soft reply, she quickly hung up the phone. "Please forgive my little bit of willfulness, Yu-jie. I just haven't made up my mind yet. Saying goodbye here might be the best outcome."

Yusuke Suzuki stared at the ceiling for a while, then turned over and fell asleep again without calling back.

Ai Haibara must have just finished crying, so the fact that she took the initiative to call him means that her mood wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

The next day, the streets were bustling with activity.

When Suzuki Yusuke woke up, he was completely bewildered. This... it's already the New Year?

He clearly just took a nap!

Yesterday I was wearing short sleeves, today I have to change into a cotton-padded coat.

I turned on the TV, and there was a live broadcast of the Emperor's Cup final, which was being held at the National Stadium.

He still remembers this incident quite clearly. Why don't he go and ride the wave of the story?

Forget it, it'll probably only give 1 reward point, which isn't attractive at all. I'll just stay inactive.

Perfect timing! It's good to lower my profile a bit, so Conan won't suspect me every day, and it also gives Ai Haibara some time to adjust her mindset.

Chapter 9 The Murder Case of the Magic Enthusiast

No, I can't keep lying down like this!

Did he come into this world just to enjoy the leisurely life of a rich kid?

After staying at home for several days, Yusuke Suzuki opened the window, feeling the biting cold wind, trying to drive away the lethargy in his body.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Garden?

He answered the phone.

"Yusuke-kun, are you free? Would you be interested in joining our magic enthusiasts' gathering?"

A gathering of magic enthusiasts?

He remembered; this case was quite interesting.

Sonoko Suzuki did not forget her promise.

"Okay, where should I look for you?"

"Hmm... Do you know the Mouri Detective Agency? Let's meet there, because I'm planning to go with Ran."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Suzuki Yusuke put on an all-black outfit. Although he didn't want Conan to suspect him, he couldn't help himself...

On the road, in Suzuki Yusuke's Catara.

"That's strange. Didn't Sonoko say you liked to stick close to Ran? Why are you riding in my car?"

He followed behind Kogoro Mouri's car and could see Sonoko Suzuki pulling Ran Mouri along to perform the magic trick she had prepared.

When asked, Conan, wearing a mask, used a childish voice with a slight cold tone to act cute, "Because Yusuke's car is so cool, I've never ridden in it before."

Actually, he was startled by Suzuki Yusuke's sudden appearance again and wanted to follow him to see if he could find anything unusual.

"I think you're trying to give me your cold."

Conan is speechless.

Judging from Suzuki Yusuke's performance alone, there is really nothing that he finds offensive. At least unlike Gin, the mere thought of Gin sends chills down his spine.

However, judging from his behavior, he must remain vigilant.

However, the other party is Sonoko Suzuki's brother, and there is no doubt about that identity.

This has led to Conan being very conflicted, feeling confused about Suzuki Yusuke.

"How has Ai been doing at school lately?"

Conan turned his head. "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"It's about whether or not you get along well with others."

It's definitely much better than when I first enrolled.

After learning that Ai Haibara was Masami Hirota's younger sister, and believing that the sadness she showed when she broke down in tears was something that could not be faked, he believed what Ai Haibara said and truly accepted her.

However, he still has reservations about Ai Haibara's statement that Yusuke Suzuki could not possibly be a member of the organization.

"Brother Yusuke, you seem to care a lot about Ai. Are you related to her?"

Yusuke Suzuki focused on following the car in front of him. "No, but I just care about her a lot. Maybe it's because that night she made me feel like I couldn't help but care about her."

Conan still doesn't know how pathetic Ai Haibara was when she escaped from the organization.

is that so……

Before long, the group arrived at their destination.

Deep mountains, suspension bridges, and villas.

In another world, it might be a wonderful place to enjoy natural scenery and live a peaceful life.

But in the world of Detective Conan... it's a signature element of murder crime scenes.

Moreover, they are even more difficult to deal with than those in cities, and they are destined to be isolated and helpless for a period of time.

The biting wind swept away the snowflakes, and walking on the suspension bridge was indeed quite picturesque.

Sonoko Suzuki also shared her story of lying online that she was a 30-year-old man.

Looking listless, Kogoro Mouri twitched his nostrils. "Is there some strange smell?"

Conan responded by sneezing.

"Welcome! You're the magician's apprentice, aren't you?"

The magician's apprentice was Sonoko Suzuki's name in the online chat room.

“Yes…” Sonoko Suzuki looked puzzled. “But how did you know so quickly that I was a magician’s apprentice?”

Araki laughed and said, "You can tell from the chat that the magician's apprentice is a girl pretending to be an old man communicating with someone."

At this moment, the others also appeared one after another. With the appearance of 'Red Herring' Doi Takuki, Suzuki Sonoko's fantasy was shattered.

Yusuke Suzuki chuckled inwardly. Was this an online scam or a failed attempt to meet in person? Probably both.

He stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am her brother, Yusuke Suzuki."

Araki Yoshinori quickly shook hands and said, "I am the owner of this holiday cabin, Araki Yoshinori," then looked at a tall man in black behind him, "He is Mr. Suga, whom I hired to work here."

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and pulled him up in front of him, saying, "Let's go home."

Conan immediately put on a cute act, "I want to live here too!"

Then he was forcibly taken away, struggling all the way.

"Mr. Mori!"

Yusuke Suzuki waved, "Why don't we let him stay? I'll take good care of him."

Araki felt a pang of sympathy as he watched Conan act coquettishly. "There's some cold medicine here. It should be fine."

The sharp-eyed Conan immediately noticed that Suzuki Yusuke's phone was pointed at him.

!

Is this guy gathering intelligence?

Sonoko Suzuki noticed this too and asked in confusion, "Yusuke-nii, are you filming Conan?"

Everyone turned to look at the sound.

Yusuke Suzuki calmly replied, "That's right. Let the child see it when he's older. He'll probably have a different feeling about it then."

Conan: "..."

After hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki looked excited. "This kid is always like this, Yusuke-nii, please send me a copy!"

"No way!"

Conan tried to struggle, but was silently refuted by Yusuke Suzuki.

Ran Mouri was too embarrassed to ask for it.

"no problem."

Yusuke Suzuki's hands moved so fast that the transfer was completed instantly.

Actually, everyone could have a share, but since no one else wanted it, he couldn't force it on them.

Conan was utterly despondent, waiting for himself to regain his identity as Shinichi Kudo...

I'm tired, really. Let's just destroy it.

After chatting for a while after entering, the chat room administrators, Escape King and Shadow Mage, still hadn't arrived.

No one waited any longer, so they started eating.

Araki, the host, said that he and his helper, Mr. Suga, would prepare dinner together, while the rest of them would go to their respective rooms to tidy up and make their beds.

"Conan, why don't you live with me?"

Yusuke Suzuki led a reluctant Conan away.

This time, he intervened and kept Conan there, so Conan didn't hear the radio broadcast about the Escape King's murder as in the original story, nor did he see the suspension bridge burned down.
