Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Before she could finish speaking, Yukiko stepped forward and patted Tatsuno's head: "It's been so long! You seem to have grown taller than when you were little..."

five minutes later

Yukiko suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah! I almost forgot, I came to see you because I have something to tell you~"

Longye: "..."

"In that case, Yukiko-neechan, let's not stand at the door, let's go inside and talk..."

"Okay~"

A moment later, Yukiko sat down on the sofa, and Tatsuno had already made tea.

Looking at Ryuno across from her, Yukiko's expression suddenly turned serious: "Ryuno, I came home today and found that Shinichi wasn't there, and strangely enough, there didn't seem to be any trace of him living there! Could it be that Shinichi... ran away from home?!"

Ryūno: "???"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Longye gradually became serious.

Just then, he suddenly heard the second half of Yukiko's sentence and almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

Running away from home?!

He lives alone anyway, so who would he be playing the running away from home act with?

After a moment of silence, Ryuno looked up at Yukiko and, seeing that her expression didn't seem to be joking, shook his head helplessly: "I don't think he ran away from home."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in a long time either, and he hasn't been to school for a long time either."

"Huh?! But when I called him... wait, when was the last time I called him?"

Seeing that Yukiko was actually reminiscing about their last phone call, Tatsuno quickly changed the subject.

"Aunt Yukiko, I have a guess..."

"..."

Ryuno explained to him, avoiding the main point, the disappearance of Shinichi Kudo and the appearance of Conan.

After listening to Ryuno's explanation, Yukiko frowned: "So, Shinichi might have reversed his aging process? Maybe he's involved with some powerful organization? Professor Agasa might know about this?"

After asking several questions, Yukiko's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was full of excitement: "This is... so much fun!!!"

Longye: "..."

After learning what had happened, Yukiko immediately dragged Tatsuno to Professor Agasa's house.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Professor Agasa who opened the door, but a blonde woman who looked like a foreigner.

Upon seeing this, Yukiko was taken aback: "Excuse me, who are you?"

It's no wonder Yukiko had such doubts. In her memory, Professor Agasa always lived alone, and he rarely had any friends visiting his home.

Not to mention the beautiful "foreign lady" in front of me.

With Ryuno's introduction, Yukiko finally understood the identity of the woman in front of her.

—Fusa Campbell Kinoshita, Professor Agasa's lover.

This news clearly shocked Yukiko. Although she didn't show it to her face, Tatsuno could clearly sense her unease.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Professor Agasa also came out from the inner room.

Upon seeing the strange combination of "Yukiko + Tatsuno" among the guests, Professor Agasa seemed to have figured something out and made up an excuse to send Fusae away.

After hearing the reason why the two had come to his door, Dr. Agasa sighed heavily.

"You guessed right, Shinichi did indeed turn into a child because of some kind of drug. The reason he used the identity of 'Conan' was to investigate the organization that gave him the poison..."

After listening to Professor Agasa's explanation, Yukiko remained silent for a long time.

Seeing Yukiko remain silent with her head down, Dr. Agasa was about to comfort her when he suddenly saw Yukiko stand up.

"Professor Agasa, Tatsuno! I've got a great plan! Let's scare Shinichi together!"

Professor Agasa: "???"

……

Not long after, Tatsuno and Yukiko left Professor Agasa's house.

Since Professor Agasa is currently helping Fusae manage her company, he doesn't have time to participate in the "Scary Project".

Left with no other choice, Yukiko had to ask Professor Agasa to help her conceal the fact that she and Tatsuno already knew Shinichi's true identity.

Chapter 204 Will it really not go bankrupt?

"Ryūno, Yūsaku will be back in a couple of days. After he gets back, we can..."

Looking at Yukiko, whose face was flushed with excitement, Ryuno couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Conan.

After leaving Professor Agasa's house, they returned to Tatsuno's house the same way they came. As soon as they sat down, Yukiko began to talk non-stop about her "prank plan".

Things like "approaching and kidnapping Conan disguised as a stranger" and "staging a gunfight scene with a prop gun that would scare Conan into fainting"...

As all sorts of random thoughts poured out of Yukiko's mouth, Tatsuno's expression changed from initial pleasure to relief.

Fortunately, he was not Yukiko's son.

A normal mother could never come up with hundreds of "brilliant ideas" that would make her son dizzy in just 10 minutes.

Seeing that Yukiko was still talking about her ideas and showed no sign of stopping, Ryuno had no choice but to stop her, saying, "Yukiko-neechan, why don't we discuss it with Uncle Yusaku first? After all, most of the plans you just mentioned require at least three people to participate."

"That's right, you're absolutely right! With fewer people, some plans are indeed difficult to implement! Let's think of a few interesting options first, and then decide together which one to use after your Uncle Yuzuo returns."

Seeing that Yukiko had finally stopped, Ryuno's lips curled up slightly: "By the way, Aunt Yukiko, could you please not reveal that I know he is Conan?"

"Huh? Why?"

"If he still thinks I don't know his true identity, can't I just set up another trap to scare him again later?"

"So that's how it is! Ryūno, you're really wicked~~~"

"You flatter me. There's still so much I want to learn from you~~~"

"Hahahaha!" X2

……

Just before leaving, Yukiko gave Ryuno a special instruction: "Ryuno, you absolutely must not tell anyone about Shinichi shrinking! The fewer people who know about this, the better! Otherwise, not only will Shinichi be in danger, but those who know about it might also be implicated!"

Yukiko's sudden instructions made Tatsuno feel a little uncomfortable.

This change happened way too fast!

One second you're happily choosing your "prank plan," a smile playing on your lips. The next second you're all serious. No wonder you're a former actor.

Thinking of this, Longye shook his head: "Actually... because Conan is obsessed with solving cases, besides us, a few other people have already guessed his identity."

"what?!"

After hearing what Ryuno said, Yukiko's expression changed from serious to surprised, and finally to angry.

She originally thought that only Tatsuno and Professor Agasa knew Conan's true identity.

Needless to say, it was Shinichi who told Professor Agasa about this.

It's normal that Ryūno could guess it, since they went to school together since they were little, so it's perfectly normal for him to be able to see "a flaw" in Conan.

But... since others have guessed his identity, it means that this kid didn't "keep a low profile" at all because of this.

She knew Shinichi Kudo's personality all too well: he loved to show off and enjoyed solving cases.

Therefore, as soon as Longye uttered those words, she could imagine what had happened even with her eyes closed.

It must be because Conan is always at the forefront when encountering cases, and may even do many things that are beyond his age.

That kid!!!

After clenching her fist tightly, Yukiko looked up at Ryuno: "No matter what, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Damn it... I'm going to tell Yusaku about this, and I'll definitely teach him a lesson!!!"

For some reason, Ryuno seemed to see Yukiko's long hair fluttering in the air because she was angry. After rubbing his eyes, Ryuno nodded to Yukiko.

After seeing Ryuno nod, Yukiko said goodbye to him and then turned and left the Ryuno house.

Compared to the joy she felt when discussing the prank plan earlier, Yukiko's eyes now seemed to be filled with a mixture of anger and worry.

After looking up at the sky, Yukiko quickened her pace.

She wanted to prepare as many useful "tools" and "costumes" as possible before Yusaku Kudo returned, so that she could start the "education of Conan" plan at any time.

Not long after Yukiko left, Tatsuno also left his house.

Because Yukiko suddenly showed up, his plan to buy a game console in Haruhabara was temporarily put on hold, but now he can finally continue.

After all, he was also curious about what interesting games he could find in a world without Nintendo and many well-known game companies.

Perhaps due to the time of day, there weren't many people on the streets near Haruhabara.

Longye strolled leisurely down the street, casually looking around at the shops.

Hmm... Cat ear cafes, maid cafes, master cafes, Sonico Electric...

After seeing Ryuno's appearance, young ladies dressed as maids would approach him from time to time.

"Hey bro, our shop is so much fun!"

"Hey handsome young man, if it's you, it's free!"

"We have all kinds of girls in our shop~ If you'd like, I can also..."

"Don't worry, sir! I'm not here to solicit customers. I just want to go to that hotel over there and have a heart-to-heart talk with you. Name your price, I'm willing to pay whatever it takes!"

"..."

After finally escaping the overly open crowd, Tatsuno arrived in front of a bank.

Since there is no online payment here, only something like a POS machine, it is extremely inconvenient.

Although he has plenty of money in his account, cash is still more convenient when buying everyday items and inexpensive things.

After entering the bank, Longye walked to a counter and prepared to withdraw one million.

Because the Japanese yen has a relatively large denomination, although one million yen sounds like a lot, it is actually only 100 banknotes, which can be easily contained in a wallet.

Just as Longye was putting the money into his wallet, an extremely arrogant voice rang out in the bank lobby: "Everyone, don't move!!!"

Upon hearing this voice, Longye turned his head in confusion.
