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

Hearing Shiraishihara and Yabuuchi Hiromi's "whispering" conversation, Kudo Yukiko suddenly felt nervous. How embarrassing it would be if her best friend found out that she was with her son's classmate.

She quickly interrupted Hiromi Yabuuchi, saying, "But, Hiromi, Yoshifusa Yabuuchi in this photo looks too young. It can't be used as a basis for judgment at all. Besides, he was wearing a baseball cap and squatting down. He doesn't have any obvious features."

"That seems true..."

"Mrs. Yabuuchi, do you have any other clues about this photograph?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi took the photo and reminisced: "I remember, this is a commemorative photo from when our town held a baseball tournament back then."

Yukiko, do you remember? Uncle Yoshifusa was seriously injured in that race when a runner stepped on his foot with a spike, but he still insisted on finishing the race...

Yukiko was also reminded of her childhood by her friend, and nodded gently with a sigh, "That's right. Although Uncle Yoshifusa won the baseball game back then, he was sent to the hospital right after the award ceremony and had to get several stitches."

"Uh... if that's the case, then if the current Yabuuchi Yoshifusa is real, he should have scars on his feet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi couldn't help but remind him that even if the wound heals, it will leave a scar in cases of severe injuries requiring stitches.

"Yes!"

Shiraishihara's words gave Kudo Yukiko an idea.

The plan was to have Hiromi Yabuuchi deliver tea to Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, and then pretend to accidentally spill the tea on his trouser leg... This way, they could determine Yoshifusa's true identity by whether he had any scars.

After hearing Yukiko Kudo's plan, Hiromi Yabuchi thought it was feasible and, after discussing it with her family, decided to implement it...

As planned, Hiromi Yabuuchi carried two cups of tea into the room on a tray, while Shiraishihara, Yukiko Kudo, and the rest of the Yabuuchi family quietly hid in the hallway outside to listen to what was happening inside.

"Uncle Yifang, this is tea prepared for you and Carlos. Please enjoy..."

Inside the room, as soon as Hiromi Yabuuchi finished speaking, she deliberately tilted her body, causing her teacup to tip over and spill tea onto Yoshifusa Yabuuchi's calf.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I'll clean it for you right away!"

As Hiromi Yabuuchi spoke, she pretended to wipe the tea off Yoshifusa Yabuuchi's calves with a handkerchief, but actually wanted to lift up his trouser leg to check if her uncle had any scars from years ago...

"No... he doesn't have any scars on his feet!"

The moment Hiromi Yabuuchi lifted up Yoshifusa Yabuuchi's trouser leg, she couldn't help but exclaim, because it meant that the uncle in front of her was an imposter!

"What?! So this old man really is an imposter trying to swindle people from our Yabuu family!"

Upon hearing Hiromi Yabuuchi's words, Hidekazu Yabuuchi, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi, and the others who had been hiding in the corridor immediately rushed in.

As outsiders, Shiraishihara and Yukiko naturally shouldn't get involved in matters that involve other people's families.

"scar……"

On the other side, facing the sudden influx of so many people, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa seemed unsurprised, remaining calm. Instead, he lifted up his other trouser leg, revealing a long scar on his foot, and said:

"You mean this scar? Thirty years ago, during a baseball game, my foot accidentally went up to first base and got scratched by a runner's cleats."

Alas, although we won the game, this permanent scar remains on my foot…

At this point, he changed the subject, his face darkening as he said:

"It seems you younger members of the family are indeed suspicious of me... Big brother was absolutely right, none of you so-called relatives are any good..."

"Hmph, it was so wise of me to bring Carlos back this time!"

"Actually, he's not some close friend of mine despite the age difference; he's a bodyguard I hired in Brazil, a soldier who has seen combat!"

What... bodyguards?!

Upon hearing this, Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? Would we possibly harm you?!"

"Hehe, that's hard to say..."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa slowly pulled a letter from his pocket, made of newspaper print cut and pasted together, on which was written in crooked handwriting...

"We have no inheritance for you, you annoying old man. If you want to live, don't come back and try to steal our inheritance!"

This is... a threatening letter?!

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Hiromi Yabuuchi asked with concern, "Uncle, when did you receive this?"

Seemingly quite displeased with her previous probing behavior, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa snorted and said, "About a month ago."

"Hmph, to be honest, I wasn't really interested in my brother's inheritance, but after receiving this threatening letter, I changed my mind. I want to see who this guy who wants to take my life is!"

"Alright, you unfilial descendants, if you have nothing else to say, get out of my room now!"

The old man saw through everyone's thoughts, and they all left feeling guilty.

Night fell, and it was time for dinner.

On the dining table, various fresh ingredients were bubbling and churning in the hot pot, the aroma of which was incredibly tempting. It looked like an extremely sumptuous dinner.

"Oh, Hiromi, I'm so sorry to trouble you with such a lavish meal. When you have time to come to Tokyo to visit me, I'll definitely treat you to a proper meal..." Yukiko said gratefully.

"Look at what you're saying. You all came all this way to help me. I'm the one who should feel bad." Hiromi Yabuuchi quickly waved her hands with a smile.

Just then, the phone in the restaurant suddenly rang. Hiromi Yabuuchi hurriedly put down her chopsticks and rushed to answer the phone.

"Oh, it's your stepmother? What can I do for you?"

"Okay, sure..."

Judging from the way Hiromi Yabuuchi was addressed, it's easy to tell that the call was made by Machiko Yabuuchi.

Hiromi Yabuchi explained that her stepmother drove out before dinner, saying she was going to a friend's celebration party.

"My stepmother is really something, she's already met a new man so quickly..."

Hiromi Yabuuchi thought to herself, it's such a pity that her stepmother also got a share of the inheritance.

Unlike Hiromi Yabuuchi, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi was not so restrained. He slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily:

"The thought of that bitch getting a share of Dad's fortune makes me furious. Why should she? She's only known Dad for a few years, and she's already taking such a large sum of money..."

Upon hearing this, Keiko Yabuuchi quickly tugged at Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi's arm and whispered, "Yoshiyuki, watch your words!"

Seeing this, Shiraishihara felt quite helpless. After all, he and Yukiko were outsiders, and it was indeed inappropriate for them to meddle in other people's family affairs.

Seemingly realizing his tone had been too agitated, Yoshiyuki Yabunouchi quickly changed the subject, saying to Hiromi Yabunouchi with a displeased expression:

"Sister, you are now the eldest daughter of the Yabuu family, not a servant. How can you let that wretched woman boss you around?"

He said that because he had just heard Yabuchi Machiko on the phone instructing Yabuchi Hiromi to light the firewood in the bathroom.

"It's okay, everyone's going to take a shower tonight anyway, it's not like we're only burning money for her."

Hiromi Yabuuchi waved her hand, signaling her younger brother to stop talking.

After all, her father had only recently passed away, and she really didn't want the Yabuuchi family to be plagued by frequent conflicts and arguments so soon. Otherwise, her father would probably not be at peace knowing this in the afterlife.

Upon hearing this, Yabuuchi Hidekazu couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, feeling that his wife was just too weak-willed and would only give in when faced with problems.

Meanwhile, Shiraishihara and Kudo Yukiko were quietly eating, heads down, not wanting to get involved in other people's family affairs...

Around 8 p.m., in the bathroom of the Yabuuchi residence.

Outside the door, Shiraishihara squatted down to add firewood to the fire, feeling uneasy. He thought he must have been tricked by Kudo Yukiko, not only having to accompany her on this trip but also having to use this ancient method of burning firewood to heat bath water for her.

"Shiraishihara, that's about right, the bathwater temperature is just right! Hehe...would you like to come in and take a bath with your older sister?"

A seductive invitation came from the bathroom from Yukiko Kudo.

No. .

103 In the water, Yukiko-neechan, a brand new experience.

Chapter 103

"Yukiko-neechan, aren't you afraid of being found out?"

"What's the big deal about taking a bath together? Even if we get caught, it's no big deal."

"It seems so."

Shiraishi Hara thought to himself that he was now in Japan, where girls were relatively more open and less coy, and he shouldn't use old-fashioned ideas to judge them.

So Shiraishihara went into the bathroom and took a bath with Yukiko Kudo in the large tub.

It must be said that this ancient way of bathing does have a unique and novel feel to it.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

"Shiraishihara, you've had a long day. Let me give you a massage to help you relax."

"bring it on."

Enjoying Mrs. Kudo's attentive service, Shiraishihara felt his whole body go numb.

Although Yukiko's massage technique was not very skilled, it was obvious that she lacked experience.

However, because traditional bathtubs are round, Yukiko always stayed close to Shiraishihara.

Her soft, full breasts pressed tightly against Shiraishihara's body, and as Yukiko massaged his shoulders, her two soft mounds gently caressed his back.

This double stimulation instantly boosted the experience in Shiraishihara...

"How does my technique feel?"

"not bad."

Shiraishi gave his approval, saying that it must be said that it was very comfortable to have those big breasts pressed against him, and that other people's wives had a unique charm.

"Yukiko-neechan, did you massage your husband before?"

"No, he doesn't deserve that. I'm just as good to you."

"No, I think what you care about most is Shinichi Kudo."

"That's not the same. Shinichi Kudo is my son. Are you jealous of my husband and now you're jealous of my son too? You're so petty."

"Hehehe... I have no right to be jealous."

Although Shiraishihara and Kudo Yukiko are close, they have not actually established any substantial relationship; at most, they are close partners.

Before they knew it, Shiraishihara and Kudo Yukiko had been soaking for a full hour, which caused considerable inconvenience to the Yabuuchi family, causing some of them to miss their chance to do something.

Inside the house, Hiromi Yabuuchi and her husband, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi and his wife, Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, Carlos, and others were all sitting quietly on the tatami mats. When they saw Shiraishihara and Yukiko enter the house, they all looked at them with rather strange eyes.

Among them, Keiko Yabunouchi, who had just returned from outside, complained angrily, "Honestly, it's just a bath, does it really take this long..."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishihara and Yukiko finally came to their senses.

The Yabuchi family had politely let them take a bath first, while the rest of the Yabuchi family waited in the living room to take turns using the bathroom. Little did they expect that this wait would last so long.

The Yabunouchi family members just waited there for Shiraishihara and Yukiko, and even Shiraishihara couldn't help but say apologetically:

"Um... I'm really sorry, we traveled all the way from Tokyo to Gunma Prefecture, and we were busy all afternoon, so we were really exhausted and couldn't resist soaking in the water for a while longer..."

Yukiko was extremely embarrassed, not expecting it to take so long: "Sorry, sorry..."

Hiromi Yabuchi quickly came to the rescue, saying, "You guys are going too far. Yukiko and Detective Shiraishi are my guests. They just took a little too long in the bath, and you're already complaining so much. Do you even consider me family?"

Since Hiromi Yabuuchi had already said so, it was naturally difficult for the others to say anything more.

Hiromi Yabuuchi stepped forward and took Yukiko's hand: "Yukiko, don't take it to heart, that's just how my stepmother is."

Yukiko replied, "It's okay, Hiromi."

Hiromi Yabuuchi, holding Yukiko's hand, looked at Shiraishihara and said, "Detective Shiraishi, you and Yukiko, come with me. I'll arrange guest rooms for you."

“Okay.” Shiraishi Hara nodded and followed the two.

"By the way, Yukiko, do you and Detective Shiraishi live together or separately?" Hiromi Yabuuchi asked as they walked into the villa.

"Let's live together... no, let's live separately..." Yukiko replied shyly.

"Alright, Yukiko. We're good friends, so stop being so coy in front of me."

Hiromi Yabuuchi promptly arranged a spacious and clean guest room for Yukiko and Shiraishihara.

"Yukiko, Detective Shiraishi, just make yourselves at home. You can do whatever you want, and no one will bother you."

"Turn around, I need to change into my pajamas."

Yukiko gently nudged Shiraishihara.

"Oh, why are you getting shy again?"

Shiraishi gently pinched Yukiko's chin.

"No, I just wanted to give you a surprise."
