Chapter 640

His brows furrowed even tighter.

Although there was no one in the room, it was very eerie; there wasn't a speck of dust on the floor or the table.

It was very clean, very tidy, as if someone cleaned it every day.

He looked up at the dark stairs and walked up carefully.

"Oh no, Conan is coming up the stairs."

Akaso Kaze held Yukiko and whispered in her ear.

Then, his mouth curled up slightly.

Sure enough, as expected, Yukiko started to get nervous.

In the bathroom, it was silent, but not without movement; it just didn't make any sound.

Yukiko bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound.

No, absolutely cannot be discovered by Conan.

She had to endure!

Conan walked on the stairs; although his footsteps were very light, the sound was still very clear in the silent building.

He observed the floor as he walked.

Nothing, no footprints, no dust.

The stairs were extremely clean, as if they had just been wiped.

Conan's suspicion grew heavier and heavier.

Finally reaching the top, Conan first looked at Yukiko's room.

For some reason, he had an intuition that there seemed to be someone inside.

Could it be that his mother had returned?

Conan's eyes lit up. Thinking of his parents who had impersonated the men in black, and thinking of the experience that almost scared him to death, he couldn't help but pout.

"Hey, stop hiding, Mom, I see you."

He pushed open the door to Yukiko's room carelessly.

In the bathroom, Yukiko was so scared she covered her red little mouth, barely holding back a scream.

Akaso Kaze also took a deep breath.

This woman was too nervous.

A little brat scared her like this; was it necessary?

However, it was really quite exciting.

Akaso Kaze looked down at Yukiko in his arms.

Yukiko covered her little mouth, her two watery eyes wide open, her expression pitiful, shaking her head continuously.

Her face was full of pleading.

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up, and he used sound transmission magic to say in her ear: "What are you begging me for? Two words? Or three words?"

Yukiko didn't dare to answer.

Conan was in the bedroom outside, and any sound would arouse his suspicion.

She could only bury her head in Akaso Kaze's shoulder and bit down.

"Hiss."

Fortunately, Akaso Kaze's sound transmission magic was still running.

Otherwise, just this deep intake of breath would have startled Conan.

Conan looked at the empty room and scanned it back and forth with the flashlight on his watch.

Nothing.

The clothes on the floor had long been put away by Akaso Kaze, and he had also used wind magic to sweep through.

Any traces had also been blown away.

"Could it be that I was suspicious, or did Mom come back and leave again?"

Conan shook his head and turned to leave.

Just as he was about to lift his foot, he suddenly stopped again.

His intuition started up again.

His gaze unconsciously looked at the bathroom door.

"Could Mom be hiding in the bathroom?"

"No way."

He hesitated for a while, but still walked over.

He really wouldn't be at ease without checking.

Knock, knock.

Conan knocked on the door twice first and asked: "Mom, are you inside?"

He paused for a while, then said: "Then I'm coming in..."

Pushing open the door, there was nothing inside.

Conan shone his flashlight around.

Although it was very clean, there were no traces of it having been used at all.

He walked out of the bathroom and closed the door.

Then he suddenly stopped.

No, very wrong!

The temperature in that bathroom was completely different from the outside!

Someone had definitely used it!

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

He took out his phone with a trembling hand and dialed out.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hello? Mom? Where are you?"

Conan was very nervous.

"Me? I'm at the airport."

Actually, Yukiko was even more nervous.

"Airport? Which airport?" Conan asked with a frown.

"Of course, of course it's the Tokyo airport."

From the phone came Yukiko's panting voice.

"I was passing by today and wanted to see you, but who knew there would be a sudden emergency call, and I had to leave overnight."

Along with Yukiko's voice, the sound of flight announcements from the airport also came from the phone.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. "You must have come home to take a bath tonight."

"Eh? How did you know? Oh my, I won't talk anymore; the plane is about to take off. We'll talk after I get off the plane."

Conan listened to the dial tone coming from his phone and couldn't help but pout.

So all the strange phenomena during this period were caused by Mom coming home.

Whether it was using electricity, water, or finding someone to clean, it could all be explained.

Honestly, she's busy enough now; she didn't even have time to see her son while passing through Tokyo.

However, it's better not to meet; anyway, meeting wouldn't be of any use, and it would easily expose his true identity.

Conan hummed a little tune, went downstairs, walked out the gate, and headed back.
