Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

Beneath her smooth, jade-like forehead, a wisp of curly hair, like a stray tuft, playfully swayed gently, adding a touch of mischief to her already youthful face…

"Don't get so close to me."

Shiraishi pushed away Kudo Yukiko, who was leaning closer. This woman was simply a femme fatale, making one unable to resist having wicked thoughts.

"Oh my! Why are you suddenly shy!" Yukiko Kudo pouted, then smiled broadly. "But your reaction is quite cute."

“This case certainly won’t be over so quickly.” Shiraishihara held out his hand to Kudo Yukiko. “Stop talking nonsense and give me the manuscript.”

"Okay." Yukiko Kudo obediently handed the manuscript to Shiraishihara.

Shiraishi didn't even glance at it, turning straight to the last page.

"See? The last scene is the detective standing in front of the station, being pushed off the station by the murderer."

"So what?"

"I'll imitate this detective's actions, act as bait to lure the murderer out, and then catch him."

"Oh? Isn't this too dangerous? What if the murderer really pushes you down?"

"Why don't you be the bait?" Shiraishihara glanced sideways at Kudo Yukiko.

"Then I'll do it. You're here to help me, how can I let you take the risk?"

Yukiko Kudo thought to herself, "Shiraishihara came here to help, so I should be the one to do the adventures."

"Let me handle this." With all those demon masks he possessed, surely Shiraishi Hara could deal with an ordinary criminal?

"No, no, no..."

"Aunt Yukiko, please stop arguing. If you're really worried about me, just protect me from the shadows."

"...This is a huge responsibility for me." Yukiko Kudo suddenly felt immense pressure, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.

Seeing Yukiko Kudo's nervous expression, Shiraishihara couldn't help but laugh.

"If only you had known then what you know now, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You and Yusaku Kudo have really made a mess of things!"

"How can you call it a waste of time? Kudo Yusaku and I stopped the copycats; that was an act of justice!"

“When something like this happens, you can notify the police and have them secretly plan an arrest operation. This is both safe and reliable.”

But you acted on your own. The other party was a vicious robber armed with guns. Do you know how dangerous that is?

Do you think this is a movie shoot, where you can do retakes?

Moreover, the murder still occurred; you and Yusaku Kudo were unable to prevent the crime.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo felt a little uneasy.

She had initially intended to stop the murderer, but thankfully she was asleep when the killing occurred. Otherwise, facing an armed criminal, she might have lost her life.

"Yes, yes... it was indeed my and Yusaku's oversight."

Yukiko Kudo began to waver, realizing that she was risking her life instead of making a movie. "Why don't we give up this plan? No matter how important Yusaku's reputation is, it's not as important as our lives."

As dawn broke, the speeding Beidouxing No. 3 train was about to arrive at its final destination.

Following the script, Shiraishi summoned the relevant personnel and claimed that the murderer was someone else.

When everyone was eagerly anticipating Shiraishihara revealing the truth, all they received was an apology.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was so nervous, I completely forgot..."

As expected, Shiraishi was severely reprimanded by Inspector Nishimura. Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, mocking him mercilessly.

Knowing the truth, Yukiko Kudo, and Ran, who genuinely cares about Shiraishihara, both offered words of comfort. Kogoro Mouri and Conan, witnessing this, were furious.

……

"Thank you for riding the Hokutosei series train. We have now arrived at our final destination, Sapporo. We look forward to seeing you again!"

As the station announcement sounded, the Hokutosei 3 train slowly pulled into the platform, signifying that it had arrived at its destination – Sapporo, Hokkaido.

Shiraishi Hara and Kudo Yukiko bid farewell to the Mori family at the train station.

Immediately afterwards...

Shiraishi arrived at Sapporo Station near Platform 7.

Yukiko Kudo remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for the culprit to appear.

Sure enough, a black hand suddenly reached out from the crowd and shoved towards Shiraishihara with lightning speed!

Yukiko Kudo reacted with lightning speed, successfully stopping the criminal from taking further action.

In fact, even if Yukiko Kudo hadn't been able to stop him, the culprit wouldn't have been able to harm Shiraishihara in the slightest.

However, Kudo Yukiko's quick reaction still surprised Shiraishihara.

It seems Yukiko Kudo wasn't exaggerating; she did receive professional martial arts training when she was an actress, and her skills are better than the average girl's.

"I never expected the murderer to be Kazue Toshiaki!"

The real murderer was none other than the timid and subservient secretary, Kagawa Rize.

"Kagoshi first killed the wanted criminal Asama Yasushi, and then disguised himself as 'Asama Yasushi' and deliberately shot Izumo Keitaro in the passenger lounge."

Then, while the train conductor was chasing them, they created the illusion that 'the murderer, Asama Yasushi,' had panicked and accidentally fallen to his death.

"I see. Kagawa Rize's method of murder is indeed the same as that in my husband's unpublished manuscript."

"..."

Gayali was caught on the spot; the evidence was conclusive and undeniable.

Moreover, the murder weapon was in his luggage, making the evidence irrefutable.

Officer Nishimura arrived promptly, ordered his men to take the perpetrator away, and expressed his apologies and gratitude to Shiraishihara.

"Shiraishihara, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for being too harsh earlier. You are the real great detective!"

"It's alright. My act of pretending to be stupid on the train was just to lure out the real culprit. Officer Nishimura, you were just playing along with my act. I'm not angry."

"In short, we were able to catch the real culprit this time thanks to your help."

Officer Nishimura thanked Shiraishihara again before leaving.

Yukiko Kudo, seeing this, couldn't help but feel worried.

... . ....

"Shiraishihara, you have the potential to replace my son as the famous detective. My son is in danger now."

"It's just an empty title."

Shiraishihara didn't care about the empty title of "famous detective" at all, but having the title of "famous detective" and being able to skip classes at will was a small but not insignificant benefit.

[The incident is resolved, and Shiraishihara receives a system reward, obtaining a new demon mask.]

Two-horned beast: an evil horse monster with two horns in European folklore.

Its origin is unknown, but one theory suggests that it originated from the two-horned animal "Rem" in legends and strange tales.

Unique Ability: The Dance of the Wind, allowing movement regardless of geographical location.

"Well said, the title of 'famous detective' is just an empty name."

A middle-aged man's voice, carrying a hint of sultry sensuality, came from inside. Shiraishihara and Yukiko turned their heads and saw a rather handsome middle-aged man.

The man looked refined and had a small black mustache and wore glasses. His hairstyle was somewhat similar to Shinichi Kudo's.

Although it was the first time Shiraishihara had met this man, he recognized him as Kudo Yusaku at a glance.

That subtle, yet undeniable air of arrogance was clearly even more pronounced than that of Shinichi Kudo, who was known as the "King of Arrogance."

The weather was exceptionally clear and crisp in the early morning at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido.

"Yusaku, what are you doing here?" Yukiko asked, looking surprised.

“I’ve been here the whole time. Because I wasn’t sure whether the culprit would commit the crime on North Star 1 or North Star 3, so…”

Kudo Yusaku explained it this way.

The implication is that Yusaku Kudo actually rode Hokutosei 1 from the beginning, while Yukiko Kudo rode Hokutosei 3.

Immediately afterward, Yusaku Kudo looked through his glasses at the boy beside Yukiko Kudo and asked, "Yukiko, he wouldn't happen to be......"

“That’s right, he is Shiraishihara,” Yukiko Kudo replied in a cold tone.

Upon hearing that the other party was Shiraishihara, Kudo Yusaku immediately became interested.

"You are my son's classmate, Shiraishihara. I'm so happy to meet you. I am Shinichi Kudo's father, Yusaku Kudo."

"Hello, Mr. Kudo." Shiraishi nodded expressionlessly.

Unlike Shiraishihara's indifference, Kudo Yusaku showed great enthusiasm.

After this period of investigation, he discovered that the information provided by Shiraishihara was absolutely true.

"To be honest, Shiraishi-kun, I saw the whole process of you catching the murderer."

From my own experience, I have to admit you have the makings of a master detective.

Kudo Yusaku was like a senior martial arts master who had seen a promising young talent.

Although Shiraishihara found Kudo Yusaku somewhat ridiculous, in the world of Detective Conan, Kudo Yusaku's status was like that of Feng Qingyang in the wuxia novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

"I am truly honored to receive the recognition of Japan's former number one detective."

Shiraishihara remained expressionless, offering only polite responses, barely managing to refrain from rolling his eyes at Kudo Yusaku.

“So…” Yukiko Kudo interrupted, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, “Yusaku, from the very beginning, you used me as bait to lure out the culprit, didn’t you?”

First.

075 After getting Ishihara drunk, Eri Kisaki used a set of movements that seemed to descend from the sky.

Chapter 75

Kudo Yusaku felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing his wife's disapproving words.

"That's not it. It's just that I didn't expect the prisoner to appear on Beidou Star 3..."

“I understand what you mean. If the perpetrator commits the crime on Beidou Star 3, I definitely won’t be able to stop him with my abilities, so I can only act as bait.”

"a ha ha ha……"

Faced with his wife's relentless questioning, Kudo Yusaku could only scratch the back of his head sheepishly and try to bluff his way out.

However, Yusaku Kudo's feigned ignorance seemed to be ineffective, as his wife's resentment was impossible to hide.

Shiraishihara, standing to the side, was also helpless, thinking to himself that Kudo Yusaku was really bold to use his own wife as bait. It seemed that Kudo Yukiko had taken many risks with Kudo Yusaku.

He couldn't help but recall how Ran and Conan encountered several dangerous incidents in the original storyline. It seemed that teaming up with a detective wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"I won't disturb your family reunion any longer, I'll be going now."

Just as Shiraishi was about to leave, Kudo Yukiko grabbed his hand in front of her husband.

"I told you I'd take you skiing, don't go!"

"You guys want to go skiing together?"

Kudo Yusaku looked at the two holding hands in surprise.

"Yeah. Since we're already in Sapporo, Hokkaido, why not go skiing?"

Yukiko Kudo glared angrily at her husband, "Yusaku, what are you still doing here? The case is solved, you can leave now. I don't want to see you right now."

But Yusaku Kudo didn't see it that way. He felt this was an opportunity he had to seize.

"The information provided by Shiraishi-kun was a great help. As Shinichi's father, I must thank Shiraishi-kun properly. I'll go with you!"

As he spoke, Kudo Yusaku frantically winked at his wife, signaling her to cooperate.

But Yukiko Kudo directly refused, saying, "Yusaku, didn't you understand? I'm very angry right now and I don't want to see you!"

Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku realized that he had angered his wife by using her as bait.

Although he felt it wasn't a big deal, he had no other choice but to apologize to his wife.

"Yukiko, don't say that. I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I apologize to you now."
