Chapter 278

~5 min read 869 words

"Hey, Mr. Izumo, I think I've seen you somewhere before." Mouri Kogoro suddenly leaned over to ask.

"I think this should be our first time meeting today."

As soon as Izumo Keitaro finished speaking, the young man in glasses beside him spoke up:

"I think you must have seen our president on the news. Our jewelry store was robbed by criminals before, and thanks to the president being there, he drove the criminals away, and we were even on TV for it."

"Oh? A robbery?" Conan was alert as soon as he heard about a case, and he poked Mouri Kogoro, "Uncle Mouri, is there such a thing?"

Mouri Kogoro looked up and thought for a while, saying: "There is indeed such a thing. I remember the police reported that the robber was likely the fugitive robber Asama Anji."

"But the strange thing is, he ran away without stealing anything, and he left a sentence, it seems to be 'This is completely different from what was agreed upon', that's the sentence."

"This is completely different from what was agreed upon?"

Conan repeated this sentence, vaguely thinking of something in his mind, and turned to ask Akaso Kaze, "Akaso-niisan, has there been a similar case before? It should have been a long time ago."

Akaso Kaze smiled without saying a word and rubbed Conan's dog head.

He remembered.

This is a murder case.

I'm afraid tonight will be another sleepless night.

Hey, by the way, it seems Conan's mother is on this train...

Akaso Kaze's eyes began to search around.

Conan frowned and whispered: "I always feel like this case is very familiar."

The young man continued: "Some time ago, this matter was very popular. And because of this, our president was suspected of deliberately using this matter to hype it up..."

"Alright, Kaetsu, stop talking!" Izumo Keitaro glared at the young man.

The brat Conan was curious again: "Mr. Izumo, who is this uncle? And what is the hype he mentioned?"

Izumo Keitaro gave a dry laugh and replied: "He is the manager of our jewelry store, Kaetsu Toshinori. As for the hype he mentioned, it's complete nonsense."

"You all should have heard that I intend to run for the next mayor of Kumi City. My competitors said that I contacted Asama Anji and teamed up to act to increase my fame, etc. This is all slander; how could I possibly do such a thing."

Izumo Keitaro stole a glance at Akaso Kaze, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

His little tricks shouldn't alarm the Onmyoji-sama, right?

Akaso Kaze didn't care about him at all.

He was looking at the entrance of the dining car, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

A woman wearing a hat and sunglasses, with a great figure and a dark green dress, walked in.

At the entrance of the dining car, the waiter bowed and saluted: "You are Ms. Akechi Fumiyo who booked the seat earlier, right? Please this way, I have already prepared a seat for you."

The woman's gaze fell on Akaso Kaze, her eyes lit up, and she said, "This is truly a fateful encounter. Sorry, I want to cancel my reserved seat."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left the dining car, and the waiter was a bit confused: "Ms. Akechi, we have already helped you... uh."

Ran looked at Akechi Fumiyo's back, a bit strange: "The woman just now seemed to be looking at us here, right? Also, she said something about a 'fateful encounter'."

"Yeah, a fateful encounter." Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly.

"You guys eat first, I'm going to make a call."

He got up and walked out of the dining car.

As soon as he stepped out of the dining car door, he immediately saw Akechi Fumiyo peeking inside.

"Beautiful lady, are you looking for me?"

Akaso Kaze walked over with a smile.

When Akechi Fumiyo made contact with Akaso Kaze's aggressive gaze, her expression became a bit flustered, and she backed away.

"No, I was just looking..."

Akaso Kaze pressed on step by step, forcing the woman against the wall.

He asked with a smile: "Ms. Edogawa, hello, why are you here? Your outfit today is very beautiful."

That's right, this woman is Conan's mother, Kudo Yukiko.

In Conan's previous incident, she introduced herself as Edogawa Fumiyo.

Akaso Kaze just didn't want to expose her.

"Akaso-san, you are very rude..."

Yukiko felt the vigorous aura close at hand, and her body went soft.

"Is that so? Why don't I feel that way?"

Akaso Kaze lifted Yukiko's chin.

"Don't, don't do this, I have serious business, that's right, serious business..."

Yukiko couldn't even speak clearly.

At this moment, the dining car door opened, and Conan's voice came: "Akaso-niisan, the food is cold, what are you doing?"

Yukiko was startled and hurriedly jumped out from in front of Akaso Kaze.

"I'll come to your room to find you later, wait for me."

After speaking, she walked away quickly with a blushing face.

Conan turned to the corridor, looked at his mother's departing figure, and looked at Akaso Kaze with suspicious eyes.

"Akaso-niisan, are you secretly hitting on a beautiful woman?"
