Chapter 103: "I deserve to die!"

　　Bang!!!

　　In the interrogation room, Sato Miwako slammed the interrogation table so hard that it shook loudly.

　　"explain!"

　　She stared sharply at Yukiko Kudo, who was disguised as a fat aunt, and the oppressive tone in her voice frightened her.

　　"Where are you going to abduct the child?"

　　"Do you have any accomplices? Where are your superiors and subordinates?"

　　Being stared at by that fierce gaze, Yukiko Kudo, knowing full well that this was a terrible misunderstanding, forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

　　"You still dare to laugh!?"

　　Bang!!!!!

　　Woohoo!

　　She is obviously a pretty girl, how can she be so fierce! ?

　　Sitting on the bench with her hands handcuffed, Yukiko Kudo realized that this was no longer a problem she could handle.

　　She put on a flattering smile and said, "Officer...can I make a phone call?"

　　"what you up to?"

　　"This is all just a misunderstanding. I'll call my husband and ask him to come over and the misunderstanding will be cleared up."

　　"Misunderstand?"

　　Seeing the woman in front of her laughingly claiming that her kidnapping of children was just a misunderstanding without any remorse, Sato Miwako's face darkened. She stood up from her seat, staring down at Yukiko Kudo who was gradually sweating, and sneered, "If it's a misunderstanding, do you want me to help you open the handcuffs? Take you to the outside of the Metropolitan Police Department and send you away?"

　　"...I'm telling the truth!"

　　"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me your name right now."

　　"Edogawa Fumiyo..."

　　Yukiko Kudo reluctantly lowered her head, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately shook her head and chose to fully cooperate and said, "No, that's not right, my name is Yukiko Kudo."

　　Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's blood began to surge, and her forehead was about to burst into tears.

　　Could it be that this fat lady thinks that she is ignorant and has never heard of the retired star Yukiko Kudo?

　　Because she was too angry, Sato Miwako calmed down a little. The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she sorted out the files on the table as if she was too lazy to waste any more time and said, "Since you refuse to cooperate with the interrogation, we will convict you of the crime of kidnapping and abduction. You can wait for the court to prosecute you later."

　　"Wait, wait! Officer, this is really Yukiko Kudo!!"

　　The fat lady sat on the bench and tried hard to prove it.

　　She tried hard to stretch her handcuffed hands upwards to pull off her cross-dress...but perhaps because there was too much stuffing and her hands were inconvenient, she was unable to successfully pull it off until Sato Miwako and another police officer left the interrogation room.

　　Yukiko Kudo even accidentally knocked over the disposable paper cup in front of her, and the tea leaves and cold water in the cup flowed out and wet her clothes.

　　Tsk, the water is too cold!

　　------

　　"Please have some tea, Mr. Hayashi."

　　"OK, thanks."

　　During the record-taking process, Takagi Shigeru noticed that the water in Hayashi Yoshiki's cup had become a little cold, so he immediately added another cup of hot tea for him.

　　Because Hayashi Yoshiki's right hand was injured, he was considerate enough to put the cup on Hayashi Yoshiki's left side.

　　"Human traffickers are really despicable. This time, it's really thanks to Mr. Hayashi for discovering it in time."

　　"It's mainly because Conan is smart."

　　Hayashi Yoshiki smiled and said, "I hope he won't have any psychological trauma."

　　"Yes, there are other police officers who are asking him about the situation. Mr. Hayashi, please go and see him later... Then shall we proceed with the record of the next case?"

　　"good."

　　When Hayashi Yoshiki nodded, on the other side, a person who was unexpected by Inspector Megure came to the Metropolitan Police Department.

　　Yusaku Kudo.

　　The world's leading mystery novelist had a wry smile on his face and went straight to Megure Juzo to explain that the matter was all a misunderstanding.

　　What is going on?

　　He wanted to punish his son but failed, and ended up sending his wife to the police station.

　　When he told the matter to Megure Jusan, he thought it was too abstract and couldn't help covering his face. After hearing what he said, Megure Jusan's somewhat honest face suddenly turned a little dark.

　　"No, brother Yusaku, you said this was a prank that you two came up with on the spur of the moment. Do you know how much of an impact it has caused?"

　　".....We are indeed not thoughtful enough about this matter. We are sorry that it has caused you trouble, Officer Megure."

　　"Let's not talk about how many people were affected by the chase on the highway. What if there was an emergency that we couldn't handle in time? Of course, more importantly, Brother Hayashi risked his life to stop you because of your joke. I don't need to tell you how dangerous this is!?"

　　"I am so sorry, Officer Megure."

　　Yusaku Kudo lowered his head in embarrassment, "We will sincerely apologize to Mr. Hayashi and make full compensation... In short, we are really sorry for causing you trouble!"

　　Inspector Megure sighed.

　　He waved his hand and took Yusaku Kudo to the interrogation room.

　　When Yukiko Kudo saw her husband, she stood up excitedly immediately after finally getting out of disguise.

　　When Officer Megure saw that the human trafficker was indeed Yukiko Kudo, he no longer had any doubts. After explaining the matter to his subordinates, he called Conan over.

　　After talking things out and finding out the truth, Conan looked at his abstract parents with an indescribable look.

　　"Brother Yoshiki thought I was really kidnapped, so he drove his car to rescue me without saying a word, risking his life."

　　".....I know."

　　"His car was dented."

　　"....We will compensate you." The two of them lowered their heads in shame.

　　"He injured his hand from it."

　　"We know..."

　　"I heard that he had already written half of his new book and had agreed with the editor on the deadline, but at this critical moment his right hand was unable to work..."

　　"We really know we were wrong, and we will work hard to make amends..."

　　The two of them lowered their heads even lower.

　　The two of them have always been guests of honor at the Beika Metropolitan Police Department, but now they are enduring the reproachful gazes of everyone, including Inspector Megure, and they really want to find a hole to crawl into.

　　Conan sighed.

　　Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo are now using the identities of Conan Edogawa's distant relatives. Because they were asked by Conan's parents and they haven't seen him for a long time, they came up with such a prank - it's too abstract, Conan doesn't even dare to imagine what expression Hayashi Yoshiki will have when he gets this answer.

　　Then he quickly saw--

　　"So it was a misunderstanding?"

　　At that moment, Hayashi Yoshiki could no longer maintain his usual gentle smile.

　　The couple lowered their heads again with their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered: "Red bean paste Smith Marseille..."

　　silence.

　　The silence that lasted for more than ten seconds made the two of them feel very uncomfortable. After a while, they only heard a very slight sigh from Hayashi Yoshiki.

　　"It's not a bad thing. At least it won't leave any shadow on Conan."

　　He said this with a gentle smile.

　　The guilt that arose suddenly made them feel ashamed.

　　Especially when Yukiko Kudo saw that Hayashi Yoshiki was about to stretch out his right hand but stopped because of the pain, and then pretended nothing happened and stretched out his other hand to shake hands with Yusaku, she really wanted to slap herself.
