Chapter 33: Serialized Detective Stories

With nothing extra to do this weekend and no part-time job today, I could just stay home and surf the internet or watch videos.

But since staying at home was indeed too boring, I decided to go out for a walk.

I didn't expect that a rare whim would lead me to spot a kidnapper.

Beika is truly a magical place; it feels like I can run into criminals wherever I go.

After living here for over ten years, I really should be used to it by now.

Since this was a rare occurrence, I called the police right away; yes, the police arrived quite quickly.

That's why I said: when Kudo spotted those two from the Black Organization, he should have contacted the police first; maybe he wouldn't even have had a chance to get knocked on the head.

Today's diary entry doesn't have much explosive content; after all, not every day is packed with events.

But yesterday I witnessed Kudo's famous transformation into an elementary school student; I wonder how things turned out afterward, whether he moved straight into Mao Li Lan's house?

Nagi Sanzenin, who was reading the diary, suddenly became interested in this as well.

"Maria, have the bodyguards been keeping an eye on Kudo Shinichi's situation?"

"Kudo Shinichi? I'll go ask."

Maria went to inquire, and indeed, the bodyguards had not been tracking Kudo Shinichi after he turned into a child.

She immediately ordered an investigation into that child's whereabouts.

Soon the answer arrived, accompanied by a photo taken from outside the hospital showing the ward inside.

This photo passed through Maria's hands and was delivered into Nagi Sanzenin's.

"Maria, who are these two people?"

In the photo, besides the child Kudo Shinichi, there was a man with a handlebar mustache and a woman who looked very young.

"The man is Kudo Yusaku, a world-famous mystery novelist."

"The woman is Kudo Yukiko, a world-famous actress who won many classic awards when she was young."

"Eh~ Father's intelligence and Mother's love for acting have been perfectly inherited."

From Maria's introduction, Nagi Sanzenin knew that Kudo Shinichi was truly a perfect heir.

He is hailed as the "Holmes of the Heisei Era"; does he even know that this is not a good title?

Such a reputation often brings a heap of unnecessary trouble and targeting.

"It seems, just as the diary said, he is not a bad person; he is simply at an age where he rushes in, constantly pouring his emotions into whatever interests him."

However, she also understood why "Kudo Shinichi" was called the Grim Reaper.

Because this person truly rushes toward any case that interests him at any moment.

As for whether Kudo Shinichi is the root cause of the cases in Beika City, she was certain: absolutely!

Yet she also knew that the other party probably deserved the title "Grim Reaper" quite unfairly.
