Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 38 The Kudo Family

Seeing the other party so decisively decide to call the police, although Conan was a little surprised, he was also moved because the other party believed his words so much.

I have to say that this is indeed the most correct choice for an ordinary citizen in such a situation, but if it is handed over to the police, he will not be able to get clues about the black organization from it, which is really a pity.

Ishino didn't care about Conan's inner drama at this time, but informed the police of the general situation of the incident and the location of the suspect by phone, and then took Conan downstairs to the rest area at the entrance of the lobby to wait for the police to arrive.

While waiting, Ishino asked about the specific situation Conan encountered, and Conan honestly told the other party the process of being kidnapped, but deleted the information about the black organization.

While listening, Ishino praised Conan's wit and calmness, showing a kind of admiration for gifted children, but he did not have an attitude of doubt, which made Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When Conan talked about his plan to sneak into the other party's house with a chewing gum mechanism before he was discovered by Ishino, Ishino reached out and touched the other party's head, and then severely criticized the other party.

"Conan-kun, although you are very smart, it is too dangerous to do so." Ishino stared seriously at the other party's eyes and said, "If I hadn't fortunately stopped you at that time, you may have been caught by the other party again now, and your It's in danger."

Hearing Ishino's words, Conan's heart shuddered, feeling that the other party was a little alarmist.However, after a few seconds of calm thinking, he gradually felt that he was indeed a bit hotheaded at the time, so he lowered his head and waited for the other party's reprimand.

"Why do you think I was there?"

When Conan heard the words, he didn't think of the reason for a while, so he could only shake his head silently.

"Because I happened to be saying goodbye to my former colleagues in the kitchen. At that time, my colleagues mentioned that there was a call from room 302 to order food, but the delivery location was room 301."

"Everyone suspects that someone is playing a prank, but the possibility that the guests on both sides know each other cannot be ruled out, so when everyone can't get away, I suggest that I come with me to check the situation."

Hearing Ishino's explanation, Conan realized that he hadn't noticed this loophole, and lowered his head again in shame.

"When I followed the waiter who delivered the food, I happened to see the behavior of the guest in room 301 after opening the door. The other party clearly knew that the food was not ordered by me, but still asked the waiter to send the dining car in."

Speaking of this, Ishino frowned and said: "If the other party is the kidnapper as you said, then there is only one possibility for doing this..."

Hearing this, Conan was horrified. He didn't know that he almost made a fatal mistake, so he hurriedly said, "They knew I wanted to sneak in, so..."

"Please enter the urn, and catch the turtle in the urn!"

Ishino expressed his conclusion with a Chinese idiom that Conan could not understand, causing the other party to fall into deep thought for a long time...

……

A few minutes later, a pair of policemen walked into the lobby of the hotel. After the other party showed their police ID to the front desk, Ishino, who had seen the two of them early, got up and walked towards the other party.

Comparing the images of the two policemen, a man and a woman, in front of him with the one in his memory, Ishino immediately recognized that the other party was the two protagonists in "Criminal Romance Story" - Takagi Tsutomu and Sato Miwako.

"Hello, two police officers, I am Shi Ye who called the police just now."

"Mr. Ishino, hello, I'm Miwako Sato from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Section, and this is my partner, Takagi Tsutomu from the First Investigation Section."

"Hi, I'm Takagi."

After the three introduced themselves, Ishino led the two to Conan, and together with Conan, told the two police officers what happened.

When she heard the information that the other party might be carrying a pistol, Miwako Sato frowned, feeling that this matter needed to be discussed in the long run.

She urgently contacted her superior, Police Officer Megure of the First Search Division, and after reporting the relevant situation, she got a reply that the other party would send more manpower.

After that, Sato and Takagi went to the third floor of the hotel to follow up to prevent the suspect from escaping, so Ishino and Conan continued to wait for follow-up support in the lobby.

A few minutes later, Officer Megure arrived at the hotel with two other male police officers.

As usual, Ishino stepped forward to explain the situation to the three of them. After a brief self-introduction, he also got to know the other three "acquaintances" from the first investigation class——Megure Shisan, Shiratori Rensaburo, and Chiba Kazunobu.

After the three of them understood the situation, they took Ishino and Conan to the third floor to meet Sato Takagi.

After listening to the reports of the two, Police Officer Megure gave instructions to ask Takagi and Chiba to guard both sides of the door to monitor whether the suspect had any accomplices outside, and the rest followed him to knock on the door.

Everything was ready, and the group came to the door of Room 301. After Miwako Sato and Renzaburo Shiratori made a warning gesture, Officer Megure stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, the door was gently opened, and everyone only heard a pleasant female voice from inside: "Who is it? What's the matter?"

At this moment, Conan, who was hiding behind the crowd, almost dropped his jaw when he saw the appearance of the woman who appeared from behind the door.

"Old...mother?!"

Of course Conan wouldn't shout directly, but it's true that he almost didn't tense up when he saw a woman with the same appearance and voice as Yukiko Kudo appeared in front of him.

When Ishino saw the other party, although he was surprised for a moment, he quickly understood the other party's intention, so although there was a hint of curiosity on his face, he didn't say much.

As for why Yukiko Kudo wanted to show her true face, it started more than ten minutes ago...

As early as when the waiter came to deliver the food, Yusaku Kudo guessed that this was a trick his son had come up with.

It's just that he waited until the waiter left without waiting for the other party's follow-up action, which made him feel a little bit wrong.

Based on what he knew about his son, he should have been eager to sneak into the room to hide and eavesdrop at this time, but the other party suddenly stopped the follow-up action, and he may have realized his omission and temporarily changed the plan.

After thinking carefully about the safe actions that Conan may take after he calms down, the greatest possibility is to call the police, let the police capture the members of the black organization and get in touch with that huge criminal group, and he can use Mori Kogoro The relationship got some relevant information from the police.

Based on this assumption, it is inappropriate to continue to pretend to be a member of the black organization. It is better to show your real identity directly when the other party comes to investigate, and confess that this is just a "prank" to play with your friend's son.

In addition, if Yukiko continues to maintain Edogawa Fumyo's disguise, and Conan expresses that she does not know each other in front of the police, then the identity she used before in front of Maori and her daughter will also be exposed, so that Conan will also expose his identity there. Danger.

Because of this, Yukiko Kudo appeared in front of the police in her original posture.

It's just that Kudo Yusaku never expected that there was a person in the crowd who had seen the face of "Edogawa Fumyo" before.

And from his cheating son, he learned that this son himself does not know his "mother"...
