Chapter 27: He is actually picking up girls here

~7 min read 1,281 words

Sending Yukiko Kudo away, Akaso Kaze looks at the endless traffic jam ahead.

After thinking about it, he simply calls Natsuki to come out for a meal.

For a meal, of course, it has to be at the Beika Grand Hotel, where you can eat and get a room.

Replenish magic power after eating.

Inside the kitchen of an old wooden Western-style house.

Conan wakes up slowly, recalls what happened before, and curses "damn it."

He stands up slowly and looks out through the large hole in the kitchen door.

He immediately sees Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo, the two who specialize in pitting their child.

They controlled the amount of anesthetic, so of course, they knew Conan was awake by now.

So a wonderful play begins.

Conan squints his eyes, listening to the conversation outside, feeling a shock.

It seems he was really caught by people from the Black Organization.

But listening to them, they don't seem to know Akaso Kaze.

Could it be that that guy really did a bad thing with good intentions?

But why was the smile on his face so strange at that time?

No matter how he thinks about it, it's ill-intentioned.

He is definitely doing it on purpose.

Conan thinks fiercely.

Suddenly, Yusaku Kudo seems to have discovered something and walks towards the hole.

Conan quickly lies down again, pretending to be unconscious.

Closing his eyes, Conan thinks of Akaso Kaze unconsciously.

"If that guy isn't a Black Organization member, he would definitely have discovered the chubby woman's strangeness. Combined with my performance at the time, he should have quickly realized I was kidnapped. But why did he deliberately let me be caught again?"

Conan suddenly has a thought and considers another possibility.

"Right, from the villa case, it can be seen that Akaso Kaze has strong reasoning ability; he can know who the criminal is just by taking a casual look, and he can also know the other party's modus operandi."

"Although he is nominally an Onmyoji, he is actually a very capable detective, so it's very obvious."

"He must want to follow the chubby woman, find her accomplices, and catch them all."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be long before the police rush in, and then these two Black Organization members will definitely not be able to escape."

Conan thinks while waiting excitedly.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Then he is dumbfounded.

"Could it be that I thought too much, and Akaso Kaze is deliberately trying to harm me?"

Conan frowns and ponders.

"No, that's not right. Those two people just said they were going to trade tomorrow; I'm afraid that guy Akaso Kaze wants to catch them all in one net."

"No, if I'm saved by him, that would be too embarrassing. How would I have the face to compete with him for Ran in the future? I must escape using my own ability."

Conan secretly crawls up.

"What? That kid is gone?"

The Kudo couple, who woke up in the morning, start acting again.

The two pretend to look for a while and then leave.

After they leave, a soft "creak" sound comes from the kitchen.

The floorboard under the carpet is lifted, and Conan crawls out, letting out a long sigh.

That was close; I was almost discovered just now!

Sitting on the ground for a while, Conan stands up and walks out of the kitchen.

Scanning back and forth, he thinks of Akaso Kaze.

"Hehe, I'm going to find the trading location before that guy, and catch those two men and women and the person they are trading with first! Then, let's see what his face looks like."

Thinking of Akaso Kaze's deflated look, Conan almost laughs out loud.

Walking around the room twice, Conan ponders and remembers the conversation between the man and woman last night.

The trading time is at one o'clock in the afternoon, but he doesn't know where.

Searching everywhere, he finds a discarded newspaper with several holes cut in it in the trash can.

From the context, it's easy to infer the trading location: Beika Grand Hotel.

"Strange, what does the missing '30' on the calendar mean? Could it refer to the floor? But the Beika Grand Hotel only has nineteen floors!"

"I also asked about the lockers; they were only used until the 26th."

"Where exactly is the trading location? Could it be that the clues I found aren't complete enough?"

At noon, Conan-kid rests his chin on his hand, walking back and forth in the lobby of the Beika Grand Hotel.

Looking at his watch, he thinks "bad."

It's already past twelve, and the trading time is at one; if he can't find it...

Conan walks to the dining area unconsciously.

Just as he is pondering blindly, he looks up and sees the guests at the table, and is stunned for a moment.

Then he rubs his eyes hard, looks again, and his mouth twitches twice.

Arie, Akaso Kaze is really here?

And he's eating with a beauty?

This guy is too comfortable.

I'm running around risking my life, and he's actually picking up girls here...

Could it be that he already knows the trading location?

Conan has a thought and quickly runs over.

Natsuki scoops a spoonful of soup with a small spoon, takes a sip, and then says with a smile: "Akaso-kun, the miso soup here tastes very good!"

The fatigue of the night dissipates quickly under the nourishment of the miso soup.

"Indeed." Akaso Kaze nods, "Let's start eating; let's try the eel here first."

Akaso Kaze is about to start eating when he feels someone watching eagerly from the side.

Turning his head to look.

Hmm?

Conan is standing by the side with a pair of dead-fish eyes full of resentment.

How did this kid run here?

Shouldn't he be being pranked by his pit-father parents right now?

"Kid, who are you looking for?" Natsuki asks curiously.

Conan suddenly has the idea of playing a prank.

He blinks his big eyes, puts on an innocent and cute look, and calls out to Akaso Kaze: "Daddy, why didn't you call me and Mommy when you came out to eat?"

Akaso Kaze has black lines on his forehead.

This kid, was his head kicked by a donkey?

Isn't this letting me take advantage?

Conan looks at Akaso Kaze's face, feeling secretly proud.

He bows to Natsuki very politely.

"Big sister, my name is Conan. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

"Pfft." Natsuki cannot help but laugh: "Akaso-kun, Conan-kid is really as interesting as you said."

"Ah?"

Conan is dumbfounded.

This Akaso Kaze, has he already talked about me to her?

Then, haven't I lost all my face?

A large hand ruffles Conan's head.

Akaso Kaze says through gritted teeth: "Your parents are in 301, be good, go find them to play."

Conan covers his face and runs away; he has lost all his face now.

He wanted to tease Akaso Kaze, but who knew the clown was himself.

Hmm?

He suddenly stops.

Why did Akaso Kaze say 301?

The missing '30' on the calendar appears in his mind again.

Could it be that he has already found the Black Organization's trading location?

Right in 301?

He goes to the third floor, half-believing.

Half an hour later, at the dining table, Natsuki covers her small mouth, smiling like a flower.

"How can there be such parents? This child is too pitiful."

Hearing Conan's experience over the past two days, Natsuki laughs uncontrollably.

"How about we go up and take a look?"

Thinking of Conan's prank just now, Akaso Kaze decides to take revenge.
