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

In her dream, Yukiko was wantonly played with and humiliated by a strange man. The disgusting scene fueled her anger, and all she could think about was tearing the man to pieces.

However, Yukiko not only did not resist, but actively catered to him, showing no dignity whatsoever. This scene made him so desperate and painful that he was on the verge of collapse, and even had suicidal thoughts.

His emotions were turbulent, and he desperately wanted to save his wife, but his body seemed to be bound by a nightmare, unable to move.

"How could I have such a terrible dream? My head is killing me..." Kudo Yusaku subconsciously rubbed the injury on his head again. Fortunately, after applying medicine, the injury had almost recovered.

"Whoosh—" The sliding door was slowly opened, and Yukiko, dressed in casual clothes, walked in gracefully, carrying snacks and hot tea.

"Yusaku, you're awake, come and eat something."

Seeing his beautiful and gentle wife before him, Yusaku couldn't help but recall the nightmare from last night and subconsciously asked, "Yukiko, did anyone bully you last night?"

"No, I shared a room with Shiraishi last night and slept very well."

"Huh? Did Shiraishihara do anything to you?"

"Of course there are..."

"what's up?"

"You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

Kudo Yusaku suddenly remembered his previous infidelity, and Kudo Yukiko was still not completely over it.

"Yukiko, are you still angry with me?"

"I'm not angry anymore."

"That's good, I'm relieved now."

Yusaku Kudo smiled sheepishly, reached out and put on his glasses.

Then she picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth, saying as she ate, "Unbeknownst to me, it's been a while since I returned to Tokyo. Not only has Shinichi changed, but you seem to have changed quite a bit too, Yukiko."

"Is that so?" Yukiko gently brushed her long hair aside, feeling a little nervous.

"You've become even more beautiful and charming, and you seem to be in an exceptionally cheerful mood. Every time I see you, you're happy. I rarely saw you smile so brightly when we were in New York."

Yukiko's pretty face flushed slightly; Shiraishihara deserves much of the credit for her radiant appearance.

"Sigh...actually, I still prefer Tokyo."

"In the first place, it was because you said you wanted to write your novel quietly in New York that I went with you, to take care of you."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yukiko."

"I'm fine, but I feel quite guilty towards Shinichi."

"I didn't stay in Tokyo to take good care of him, which is why he caused such a huge mess. I should have known better; Shinichi is just like you, he'll definitely get into trouble if no one's watching him."

"Yukiko, don't worry, I will definitely help Shinichi find the antidote."

Yusaku felt guilty whenever Shinichi was mentioned. If he hadn't wanted to write his novel in peace and quiet, he wouldn't have left Shinichi alone in Tokyo without anyone to take care of him.

"I'm just a woman and I can't be of much help. It's all up to you, Yusaku."

Yukiko sighed softly, "When you were a detective, you always made me angry, and I've reflected on myself about it."

Yusaku, for our son's sake, do whatever you want. I definitely won't hold you back.

Encouraged by his wife, Yusaku became even more determined to thoroughly investigate the Black Organization.

"Yukiko, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save our son." Yusaku's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

"Yusaku, you eat first, I'll come back to clean up later." With that, Yukiko turned and left the room.

Yusaku Kudo ate the sweets Yukiko had brought him and sipped his hot tea, feeling a warmth in his heart.

After finishing his meal, he didn't wait for Yukiko to clean up; instead, he carried the plates and cups to the kitchen himself.

Upon entering the living room, Kudo Yusaku saw Yukiko sitting on the tatami mats, chatting enthusiastically with Hiromi.

Meanwhile, Shiraishihara sat cross-legged on the cushion, engrossed in playing on his phone.

Yusaku Kudo strolled over to Shiraishihara's side and greeted him.

"Detective Shiraishi..."

"Hmm? Mr. Kudo."

Can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?

“Okay.” Shiraishi put away his phone and accompanied Kudo Yusaku to the courtyard.

Kudo Yusaku confides in Shiraishihara about the predicament he is facing.

"That organization is as tight as an iron barrel; there's simply no way to find a way to attack it."

“After all, you’re just an ordinary person, and you will definitely face such a situation. Every member of that organization has a powerful background.”

After all, the organization is full of intelligence personnel from all over the world. It would be very difficult for ordinary people with no background to have the opportunity to go deep into the organization and investigate.

"Detective Shiraishi, how do you know so much about this organization?"

"Don't ask, I won't tell you. But I'll try my best to help you. You might as well tell me what obstacles you've encountered, and maybe I can give you some advice."

Shiraishihara looked at Kudo Yusaku with a serious expression, already having a plan in mind: he needed to find something for Kudo Yusaku to do, so that he wouldn't be idle.

Kudo Yusaku smiled wryly, thinking that he had actually been reduced to asking Shinichi's classmate for help, which was really pathetic.

"Just as Detective Shiraishi said, this organization is heavily guarded. Please, Detective Shiraishi, show me the way."

He is now truly at his wit's end, and all his former connections have refused to help him when they heard that he wanted to investigate this organization.

"You remember Yukiko Kudo's friend named Sharon, right?"

"Of course I remember." Kudo Yusaku was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Shiraishihara would suddenly mention her. "I heard she passed away suddenly some time ago, why are you bringing her up?"

"She's not dead at all!"

"Eh?"

"Go find her."

"Looking for her? Why?"

"She can help you get into that organization."

"What!" Kudo Yusaku was stunned. When did he ever say he wanted to join the organization?

Shiraishihara glanced at Kudo Yusaku and instantly guessed what he was thinking.

"Mr. Kudo, if you want to save your son, you must find a way to obtain information about APTX4869. Wouldn't joining that organization be the best way?"

"You are right..."

Indeed, at this point, only by joining the organization can we possibly obtain complete information about APTX4869.

“I understand… Sharon isn’t dead, and she’s still a member of the organization.”

“That’s right… Sharon’s codename in the organization is Vermouth, and she’s a high-ranking member of the organization.”

"It's actually like this!"

Kudo Yusaku was not just surprised, he was utterly astonished. He had wasted so much time and gained nothing, yet Shiraishihara had suddenly told him so much crucial information.

"But...where am I supposed to find Sharon?"

"Chrissy."

"I understand, Sharon and Chris are the same person."

Kudo Yusaku suddenly realized. He couldn't help but feel a little tempted; given his wife's close friendship with Sharon, Sharon might give him face.

When Kudo Yusaku learns that Sharon and Chris are the same person and that they are high-ranking members of the organization, he is immediately intrigued and has the idea of ​​joining the organization.

The reason is actually quite simple: he has a strong interest in APTX4869.

People will eventually grow old, and growing old means moving step by step toward death. If there were a magical drug in the world that could make people young again, it would be hard for anyone not to go crazy for it!

He suddenly realized that if he joined the organization, he would no longer be able to accompany and take care of his wife.

Now that his son, Shinichi Kudo, is in elementary school, he can't be relied upon.

As for Professor Agasa, it seems better to ask Shiraishihara for help. Besides, he felt that Shiraishihara and his wife got along quite well.

"Detective Shiraishi, I have another abrupt request."

"Mr. Kudo, please speak."

Seeing Kudo Yusaku's solemn expression, Shiraishihara couldn't help but become serious as well.

"If I join the organization, I won't be able to stay by Yukiko's side anymore."

I see that Yukiko and you get along quite well. Until I find the antidote for APTX4869, could you please look after Yukiko for me?

"This……"

Shiraishi frowned slightly, sensing something amiss. He suspected that Kudo Yusaku might be trying to use his wife to curry favor with him and gain his support. If that were the case, then Kudo Yusaku's scheming was far too deep.

Seeing the hesitation on Shiraishihara's face, Kudo Yusaku was extremely anxious.

If Shiraishi Hara didn't agree, he really couldn't bear to leave his wife alone at home.

“Detective Shiraishi, I know this request is a bit much, but I really can’t find anyone else I can entrust my life to without worry, except for you.”

Because Shiraishihara had previously provided Kudo Yusaku with a large amount of information free of charge, Kudo Yusaku (the good guy) already regarded Shiraishihara as one of his own, and he simply did not trust anyone else.

At this moment, Yukiko Kudo was just as anxious as Yusaku Kudo.

Yukiko Kudo was worried because her husband and lover were talking privately behind her back, so she secretly hid and eavesdropped.

She was afraid that the two of them would get into a fight, and then she would be caught in the middle.

When she heard that Kudo Yusaku wanted to entrust her to Shiraishihara, she was overjoyed. However, Shiraishihara's hesitation made her heart sink to the bottom.

"Detective Shiraishi, don't worry, I will definitely repay you for your help."

You must also be interested in APTX4869.

If I manage to obtain complete information about APTX4869, I will definitely share it with you!

“In that case…” Shiraishihara decided to agree to Kudo Yusaku’s request.

Deep down, he hoped that APTX4869 could be successfully developed. If this drug could truly be successfully developed and made public, it would mean solving the problem of human aging, a truly meritorious deed. With Kudo Yusaku's involvement, perhaps the organization could indeed successfully develop APTX4869. "Mr. Kudo, I promise you."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yusaku finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Everything was as he had expected; Shiraishihara had provided him with information in the hopes that he would be drawn into the scheme.

Anyone who learns about APTX4869 will find it hard not to be interested in it.

After reaching a gentleman's agreement, the two returned to the living room. Yukiko Kudo was already there, pretending to be nonchalant, as if she hadn't heard anything.

At this moment, only the three of them were in the living room; the rest of the family was still arguing fiercely about the inheritance.

Therefore, Kudo Yusaku took the initiative to tell his wife about his cooperation with Shiraishihara, indicating that Shiraishihara would take care of his wife in his place, so that he could investigate the Black Organization without any worries.

And then.

105. Let's go into the villa together. I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I just couldn't help it.

Chapter 105

After hearing Yusaku Kudo's explanation, Yukiko Kudo was overjoyed. Her husband, whom she had previously disliked, now seemed much more agreeable.

"Yusaku, I feel a little embarrassed that you went to the trouble of Detective Shiraishi for my sake."

Yusaku Kudo looked bitter: "Yukiko, the situation is special right now, I hope you can understand."

Yusaku Kudo thought his wife only had eyes for him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Yukiko Kudo feigned helplessness: "Sigh...it seems there's no other way."

After resolving the matter with the Kazuna family, Kudo Yusaku felt that he no longer needed to stay there.

"Yukiko, now that things here are settled, I should be leaving..."

“But, Yusaku, I promised Hiromi that I would wait until the will is published before I leave.”

"I see. Well then, Yukiko, I'll take my leave now."

At this moment, Yusaku Kudo was only focused on finding Vermouth's whereabouts and didn't want to waste any more time here.

"It's alright. You've already entrusted me to Shiraishihara's care, so don't worry about me anymore." Kudo Yukiko put on an expression of concern for him.

"Yes. Detective Shiraishi, I'm entrusting everything to you." Kudo Yusaku looked at Shiraishi Hara earnestly.
