   Chapter 913 913 [Riddle Artificial Vine Yusaku] Ask for a monthly pass (^^)

   As he spoke, he evoked bitterness.

   However, this is also a beautiful thing at the same time - although Xiao Ai has strict control over her diet, she cooks deliciously, and even vegetables can make a good taste.

  Dr. A Li looked at the time and muttered, "I don't know if Xiao Ai fell asleep, if not. We should be able to have a meal—if I fall asleep, I'll go to the convenience store on the corner to buy you some bento."

   Speaking of this, Dr. A Li suddenly remembered something: "How about I call Shinichi over? You haven't seen each other for a long time."

   "No, he doesn't know I'm here yet." Kudo Yusaku smiled, "Let's wait for the press conference tomorrow and give him a surprise."

  …

  The car drove from the airport to Mikacho.

On the way   , Kudo Yusaku was silent for a while, sorting out his thoughts.

   After a while, he rummaged through the travel bag, took out a souvenir from it, put it in a convenient location in advance, and then re-zipped it.

  …

   soon came back to Dr. A Li's house.

   The two pushed the door and entered, and met Haibara Ai, who was passing by the living room with a cup of coffee.

   Haibara Ai originally planned to go back to the underground laboratory, but suddenly saw someone entering the door, she was slightly startled, nodded and said hello. .

  Dr. A Li was suddenly pleasantly surprised, as if he could smell the sweet aroma of the food: "Xiao Ai, you haven't slept yet."

   The fake child snorted: "I woke up late today and can't sleep."

   Kudo Yusaku glanced at the coffee in her hand: "..." It's probably not a problem of getting up late...

  Ai Haibara is quite sensitive to sight.

   She quickly looked away from Dr. A Li and looked at Kudo Yusaku, while Kudo Yusaku looked at her cup, and sized him up slightly.

   Dr. A Li patted Yusaku Kudo on the shoulder and introduced her cheerfully: "It seems that this is the first time you guys have met - this is Yusaku Kudo, a famous mystery novelist. He is also Shinichi's father."

  Ai Haibara poured the coffee cup from her left hand to her right hand, freed her hand, and shook Kudo Yusaku politely.

  Then she glanced at the suitcases of Dr. Aga and Yusaku Kudo, and the hungry eyes of the doctor, and sighed: "I'll go make you some supper."

  ... It just so happened that the lights on Jiang Xia's side were also on, so there was an excuse to give him a copy, and by the way remind him to go to bed early.

   Haibara Ai put down the coffee cup and turned to the kitchen.

   "Haha, then I'll trouble you." Dr. A Li was in a good mood, and at the same time secretly fought for his own welfare, "There are guests here, put more meat!"

  …

   Dr. A Li happily put down his luggage.

   Then, while waiting for supper, I walked around the experimental bench.

  I was about to introduce my new invention to an old friend.

   When he turned around, Kudo Yusaku was not behind him—he didn't even follow.

   Dr. A Li looked around suspiciously: "...?" What about people?

  … On second thought, this is also the former residence of Kudo Yusaku, he probably went out and wandered around.

   Dr. A Li then ignored this old friend.

   His attention quickly turned to his invention, picked up the tools next to it, and started repairing it.

  …

   At the same time, Dr. A Li was next door.

   Jiangxia's home.

   Jiangxia is pruning potted plants and harvesting the latest stubble of ghost mint.

   Suddenly, the door was knocked twice.

  Xiaobai probed out to take a look, and found that the person who came was actually Yusaku Kudo, who lived in the United States and rarely showed up.

   Jiang Xia was startled when he heard its real-time broadcast.

It is not surprising that    Kudo Yusaku appeared in Japan at this time.

  —At the game conference tomorrow, among the game "Cocoon" to be announced, there is a copy of the detective theme. Yu Kudo as it provided some design ideas. So tomorrow night, he will also speak at the game conference.

  "..." But the strange thing is that the big Kudo didn't even see his son, why did he suddenly come to him?

   Jiang Xia briefly fell into contemplation: Could it be that Yukiko Kudo got lost again, and the big Kudo had learned from the past and wanted to come directly to him to find someone?

  …

   Jiang Xia opened the door slightly suspiciously, wondering if he should say "Aunt Youxizi is not here with me".

   But soon, he found out that Yusaku Kudo was not here for this.

   Uncle Kudo was standing at the door in a trench coat.

Seeing the door open, he naturally handed out what was in his hand: "I went to Dr. A Li's place for a late night snack, and found that you were still lighting up, so I came over to have a look - I brought you some desserts, this is you The one. The new donuts that have taken New York by storm recently, I heard kids love them.”

   As he spoke, Yusaku Kudo swept into the room out of the corner of his eye, and all the details were instantly captured in his eyes.

   No trace of the existence of other people was found, only a black cat with white paws laying at Jiang Xia's feet.

   Seeing the stranger coming to the door, the cat did not frighten away, and looked up calmly, as if looking at him curiously with a microstrip.

   That cat was really cute, and he kept looking up at him friendly, looking very nice to touch.

   Kudo Yusaku just wanted to create a more relaxed atmosphere, so he leaned down and stretched out his hand.

   Before touching the cat's head, the black cloud treading snow cat suddenly squatted, slid through the gap beside Kudo Yusaku's feet, and ran outside.

  "!" Kudo Yusaku was startled, he hurriedly reached out his hand to stop it, but was unable to stop it - the cat evaded his hand like a liquid, slipped out through the crack of the door, threw itself into the grass in the yard, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

   Kudo Yusaku, who lost his neighbor's cat: "..."

"It's okay, don't chase." Jiang Xia showed a considerable degree of friendliness to Kudo, "It's not a house cat, it just likes to roam around this area, everyone will go in and take a look - if it runs away, it will run away again. back."

   "...I see." Yusaku Kudo paused and stopped trying to catch the cat.

   Seeing Jiang Xia let the door open, he was willing to invite him into the room.

   Kudo Yusaku then walked in.

  …

  The house is quite neat, and there are no cat hairs in some dark areas. There is indeed no trace of long-term cats.

There are only Jiang Xia's own shoes in the entrance, and there are no other potential shoe prints or footprints on the floor. Only one cup on the table is in use, and the others are buckled upside down, and there are no water stains on them... It seems that there are only traces of Jiang Xia living alone. , no one has been here recently.

   Kudo Yusaku glanced across the room and quickly retracted his gaze.

   He put the dessert gift box he brought on the table, and took out his mobile phone to take a look.

   No strange signal sources or monitoring devices were found.

   Kudo Yusaku turned to look at Jiang Xia and asked naturally, "You are very busy with 'work' now? I heard that you rarely go to class."

   "It's okay, it's almost the same as before, but there are more part-time detectives." Jiang Xia looked at Yusaku Kudo, a little puzzled. He always felt that the neighbor's uncle had something to say, as if he was alluding to something.
