Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Momiji looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

They all raised their heads and looked at Hattori Shizuka, then asked in unison.

"Aunt Jinghua, where is Heiji?"

However, the response to the two was Hattori Shizuka smiling and shaking her head.

Without getting an answer, Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Momiji immediately had another quarrel. Both sides agreed to have a three-round karuta battle in the next few days to decide who would leave Hattori Heiji.

Ooka Momiji left cleanly under the protection of the housekeeper Iori Muga.

Toyama Kazuha was still there. She looked at Hattori Shizuka and made a sincere request.

"Aunt Jinghua, I want to learn karuta!"

————Hattori Shizuka is the well-deserved queen of karuta. Even Ooka Koha can’t be her opponent. If she wants to defeat Ooka Koha in the next karuta duel, the best way is to ask Hattori Shizuka for advice.

Hattori Shizuka did not refuse Toyama Kazuha, but invited Toyama Kazuha in with a smile.

Not to mention that the Toyama family and the Hattori family have always had a close relationship, she herself also likes girls with Toyama Kazuha's personality. When Toyama Kazuha asked her for advice on karuta, she had no reason to refuse.

However, just as both parties were sitting on the tatami, shuffling the karuta cards and preparing to practice.

Toyama Kazuha suddenly mentioned a name that Hattori Shizuka did not expect.

"Aunt Jinghua, do you know who [Kudo Shinichi] is?"

There was a hint of seriousness in her eyes, and this seriousness surprised Hattori Shizuka.

Why did Toyama Kazuha suddenly mention Kudo Shinichi?

"That kid always talks about 'Hattori from Kansai, Kudo from Kanto'. The 'Kudo' he's referring to is Kudo Shinichi."

Hattori Shizuka replied with a smile.

However, Toyama Kazuha placed his hands on the ground, leaned forward, and spoke seriously.

"Aunt Jinghua, do you know where that Kudo is?"

"I want to find her and ask her what her relationship with Heiji is..."

Heiji actually disappears every few days just for Kudo, and this kind of thing never happened before————

She wants to see what kind of vixen Kudo Shinichi is!

"...I'm not sure. After all, Kudo Shinichi hasn't been seen in a long time."

Hattori Shizuka was silent for a moment before answering Toyama Kazuha's question.

She didn't know much about detective work. She only knew that Kudo Shinichi hadn't appeared for a long time from what Heiji and Heizo had heard. Naturally, she had no idea where Kudo Shinichi was.

But since Toyama Kazuha asked this...

She held her cheek with her hand, seeming a little distressed. Under Toyama and Ye's expectant gaze, she finally spoke.

"But, Heiji said he was going to Hokkaido to see the performance of 'Josephine'. Maybe it's because Kudo will be there too?"

————Hokkaido? Josephine? Would he still read that kind of thing?

There was a hint of suspicion in Toyama Heye's eyes.

It was exactly the same look that Shizuka Hattori had when she heard Heiji Hattori say that he wanted to go to Hokkaido specifically to see "Josephine".

No matter what, since Heiji went to Hokkaido for Kudo, she wanted to follow him to see what kind of girl could stand on equal footing with Heiji and even make him so obsessed with her!

Chapter 314 Mycroft Yan Holmes (1/5)

"I feel as if a pair of invisible eyes are quietly staring at me..."

In the morning, Tokyo City, Beika Town, Dr. Agasa's laboratory.

Edogawa Conan felt a chill on his back, but he couldn't find the source of the coldness. He could only mutter to himself and cast his gaze behind his father Kudo Yusaku who was staring at the computer screen.

If it was Conan who felt a chill on his back before, now it was Kudo Yusaku who felt a chill on his back.

The world-class mystery novelist finally couldn't hold it in anymore, turned around to look at his eldest son, and said in a serious tone.

"Shinichi, what's wrong? I have something important to do right now, so I can put everything else aside..."

"Hey, did you leak the information about the gadgets I made against Kaito Kid? Why was Kaito Kid able to crack my gadgets so accurately? It's impossible that no one leaked the secret, right?"

The Death God Elementary School Student pushed up his plain glasses that flashed a cold light and stared at Kudo Yusaku.

There are only four people who know that he specifically made props for Kaito Kid. Haibara and her mother fainted at the scene. Dr. Agasa would definitely not do such a thing, so it could only be this father who always tricks his son.

"Haha, how could that be, Shinichi, you're overthinking it."

Kudo Yusaku just smiled and didn't answer.

However, sometimes not answering is also an answer.

Although they didn't meet often during this period, Conan still had a good understanding of his father's personality.

If Kudo Yusaku didn't know the situation, he would say it directly instead of remaining silent, which would be tantamount to tacit agreement.

Conan snorted coldly and turned his head away, not intending to say anything to Kudo Yusaku.

Seeing Haodaer's behavior and personality that were completely consistent with his appearance as an elementary school student, Kudo Yusaku felt a little troubled for a moment, not knowing how to coax Haodaer.

However, Kudo Yukiko, who had been standing nearby and observing, noticed that Conan was always glancing at the information on the table.

So, she quietly walked around behind Conan, put her hands under his armpits, and lifted Conan up directly, making Conan at a loss, and said with a smile.

"Yusaku, aren't you going to investigate that matter next? There's nothing wrong with letting Shinichi know, right?"

————The thing that Kudo Yukiko was talking about was naturally the matter of Hiroki Sawada.

Yusaku Kudo followed the gaze of Yukiko Kudo and Conan and looked at the printed folder on the table. He shrugged helplessly, then took the folder down, opened it directly and showed the contents inside.

"Of course, after all Shinichi is Tokyo's great detective, isn't he?"

The couple coaxed Conan like a child.

When Conan saw the file, he immediately put away his temper and devoted himself to obtaining new case information and further reasoning, looking completely absorbed in it.

However, for Holmes in the Heisei era, this is his normal state.

Looking at the happy family of three, Dr. Agasa stood at the door, thinking of his first love. He couldn't help but sigh, and subconsciously took out the secret letter in his pocket, about to read it again.

But at this moment, Haibara Ai's voice suddenly rang out.

"Dr. Agasa, you seem to be reading this letter all the time after Kudo's parents moved in."

The former Black Organization scientist raised his head and looked at the letter paper held by Dr. Agasa.

"What is this? A love letter from your first love?"

Dr. Agasa was suddenly shocked.

At this moment, the chubby body exerted infinite power, and instantly took off and disappeared at the door of the room.

Looking at the agile fat man who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Haibara Ai turned her head and glanced at the situation inside.

Then, she put her hands back into the pockets of her small white coat and went back to her own business.

The reverse engineering drug for APTX-4869 will be ready soon, and hopefully there won't be any other problems by then.

"...The Sindorah Consortium? They're actually doing something so ruthless just to gain ownership of the AI?"

Conan frowned, feeling disgusted by the actions of Thomas Sindora, the director of the Sindora Group.

However, Kudo Yusaku shook his head at this time.

He pulled out a piece of paper from the folder. This paper was a printout of important data snatched from the Sindora Group's database—a data sample from a cross-era genetic factor comparison device.

Conan only needed to take a quick glance to determine that this was just an instrument that could detect blood relationships across time.

He asked, his frown deepening.

"What do you mean? Thomas Sindorah's ancestor was a war criminal, so he killed people to ensure the data was not leaked?"

"No, his ancestor was a famous British murderer, the man known as Jack the Ripper."

Yusaku Kudo denied Conan's idea and gave Conan an explanation that made him even more confused.

So what? Who was the ancestor who would affect the interests of the Sindora Group, or would it destabilize Thomas Sindora's position? The Sindora Group is a family business, so how could they dethrone Thomas Sindora and let someone from outside the family take over?

The motive for the murder is inexplicable, but it is very much in the style of Beika Town, and he is worthy of being someone who can attract investment in Beika Town.

The Death God Elementary School Student shook his head, having a pretty good understanding of the case, and prepared to leave to do some practical work.

For example, go to the Beika Municipal Building and see if there are any clues that can be collected or any staff members that can be persuaded at the venue where the Sindora Group plans to display the cocoon game.

"By the way, Shinichi, I'm planning to add a new character to the script of the Cocoon Game."

Kudo Yusaku suddenly said.

This made Conan, who was about to leave the room, stop in his tracks. Things related to the cocoon game flashed through his mind, and then he thought of the game scene of "London in the 19th Century" written by Kudo Yusaku himself.

"Really...why are you telling me this?"

The not very interested Shinigami pupil frowned.

"Nothing, just wanted to let you know."

Kudo Yusaku took out a booklet from the small bag beside him and threw it to Conan.

Conan only took a glance at it and raised his eyebrows, because he noticed that this booklet was part of the script of "London in the 19th Century", which mentioned the famous detective "Sherlock Holmes".

"Did you know that Sherlock Holmes has an older brother in the novel?"

"His name is Mycroft Holmes. He's known as the man who represents Britain. He's most likely an MI5 ace agent, or perhaps the director..."

Kudo Yusaku said with a smile.

"Do you think that person could be written in as the prototype of this character?"

————Mycroft Yan Holmes?

A fat version of Yan Shuangying dressed in black appeared in Conan's mind.

Wouldn't this be a bit too insulting to Sherlock Holmes? How about making Mycroft Holmes an independent character, and having Yan Shuangying write an original character as Mycroft Holmes' assistant and good friend?
