Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

His brows furrowed even more.

Although there was no one in the room, it was very strange; there wasn't a speck of dust on the floor or the table.

It was very clean, very tidy, as if someone cleaned it every day.

He looked up at the dark staircase and carefully went up.

"Oh no, Conan is coming up the stairs."

Akatsuka held Yukiko in his arms and whispered in her ear.

Then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Just as expected, Yukiko started to get nervous.

The bathroom was quiet, but not entirely silent; it was just that no sound was being made.

Yukiko bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound.

No, we absolutely cannot let Conan find out.

She has to hold back!

Conan walked up the stairs, his footsteps very light, but the sound was still clear in the quiet building.

He walked along, observing the ground as he went.

There was nothing there, no footprints, no dust.

The stairs were spotless, as if they had just been washed.

Conan's suspicions are growing stronger.

Finally upstairs, Conan first looked at Yukiko's room.

For some reason, he had a feeling that there was someone inside.

Could it be that Mother has returned?

Conan's eyes lit up. Thinking of his parents who had once impersonated the Men in Black, and the time he almost died of fright, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Hey, stop hiding, Mom, I see you!"

He casually pushed open Yukiko's door.

In the bathroom, Yukiko covered her red mouth in fright, barely managing to utter a sound.

Chi Chufeng also took a deep breath.

This woman was extremely nervous.

Is it really necessary to scare a little kid like this?

However, it was actually quite exciting.

Akatsuka looked down at Yukiko in his arms.

Yukiko covered her mouth, her two big, watery eyes wide open, looking pitiful, and kept shaking her head.

His face was full of pleading.

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly as he whispered in her ear using telepathy, "What do you want from me? Two words? Or three?"

Yukiko dared not answer.

Conan was in the bedroom outside, and even the slightest sound would arouse his suspicion.

She could only bury her head in Chi Chufeng's shoulder and take a bite.

"hiss."

Fortunately, Chi Chufeng's telepathic magic was still active.

Otherwise, even the sound of that deep breath would alert Conan.

Conan looked at the empty room and scanned it back and forth with the flashlight on his watch.

Nothing.

The clothes on the ground had already been taken away by Chi Chufeng, who also used wind magic to clean them up.

Any traces were blown away.

"Am I being paranoid, or did Mom come back and then leave again?"

Conan shook his head and turned to leave.

Just as he was about to lift his foot, he suddenly stopped.

His intuition kicked in again.

My gaze unconsciously drifted toward the bathroom door.

"Could Mom be hiding in the bathroom?"

"No way."

He hesitated for a moment, but still went over.

I really can't feel at ease without checking it again.

Tuk Tuk.

Conan knocked on the door twice and asked, "Mom, are you in there?"

After a pause, he said again, "Then I'll go in..."

I pushed open the door, but there was nothing inside.

Conan shone his flashlight around.

Although it was very clean, there was no sign of it having been used.

He walked out of the bathroom and closed the door.

Then it suddenly stopped.

No, that's not right!

The temperature inside that bathroom was completely different from the outside temperature!

Someone has definitely used it!

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

With trembling hands, he took out the phone and dialed.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello? Mom? Where are you?"

Conan was very nervous.

"Me? I'm at the airport."

Actually, Yukiko was even more nervous.

"Airport? Which airport?" Conan asked, frowning.

"Of course, of course it's Tokyo's airport."

On the phone, Yukiko's panting voice could be heard.

"I was passing by today and wanted to visit you, but I suddenly received an urgent phone call and had to leave overnight."

Along with Yukiko's voice, the airport's flight announcements could also be heard over the phone.

"Oh, I see."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. "You must have taken a shower when you got home tonight."

"Huh? How did you know? Oh well, I'm not going to talk about it now, the plane is about to take off, I'll tell you after we get off the plane."

Conan couldn't help but purse his lips as he listened to the dial tone on his phone.

It turns out that all the strange phenomena during this period were caused by Mom coming home.

Whether it's using electricity, water, or hiring someone to clean, it all makes sense.

She's quite busy these days; she didn't even have time to see her son while passing through Tokyo.

However, it's better not to meet, since meeting would be pointless and would only expose one's true identity.

Conan hummed a little tune as he went downstairs, exited the gate, and headed back.

Chapter 359 The Soft Flesh of Vermouth

Upstairs, in Conan's room.

Yukiko leaned against the window, watching Conan's back.

"Shinichi, Mom really can't take care of you anymore, please forgive Mom..."

Yukiko's breath created a cloud of mist on the glass.

In the mist, she gasped for breath, forgetting everything else.
