On the Shinkansen to Kyoto.
Kogoro Mouri blushed, "Hey, you're nagging your old man again.
I was only going to take Conan, but you kept begging me to take you to Kyoto."
Last night, I went out drinking and having a good time, and didn't get home until late. I ended up passing out at the entrance to the second floor and sleeping soundly.
This morning, I was woken up by a furious Ran Mouri. Only then did I realize that I had a friend's wedding invitation today.
I hurriedly prepared myself and rushed onto the Shinkansen train.
Kogoro Mouri was currently sitting in his seat, shaving his beard, still looking sleepy and hungover.
"Also, you want to go out and play with this Aki-chan kid, why are you following me to Kyoto?"
"Oh, I've never been to Kyoto, I heard it's very beautiful!"
Aki-chan and Ran Mouri were sitting in the same row of seats.
Like many other girls who love beautiful scenery, Ran Mouri also longed for Kyoto.
Knowing Aki-chan was free, she invited him to join her on the trip to Kyoto.
She thought that while her dad was attending the wedding, she and Aki-chan could visit the sights and take pictures.
As for Conan, who was sitting next to Kogoro Mouri.
He finished his pretty good lunch box and sighed in relief.
He had been eating curry at Professor Agasa's house for the past few days, and he was about to throw up.
However, Professor Agasa's complexion seemed to be much better than before.
He had been cooking at home, and while his food was a bit too meaty, it was still better than takeout.
Conan was originally supposed to go to the Mouri Detective Agency to find Uncle Mouri today.
Because he hadn't contacted Conan in the past two days.
When they were apprenticing, they agreed to call Conan when there was a case.
However, when Conan arrived, he found Kogoro Mouri in a hurry to leave.
Ran Mouri told him that Kogoro Mouri had spent almost all of the client fee he got from Yoko Okino last time.
He wasn't just gambling at the racetrack and pachinko parlors, but he also went out drinking every night.
Conan was speechless, this guy was a hopeless case, he was only relying on the rent from the store on the first floor as his financial security.
Aki-chan saw Conan and pulled him over, as if he had something to tell him.
He went with Conan to the end of the carriage.
"I say, Aki-chan, you were talking nonsense in front of those three kids at the café."
Aki-chan saw Conan approaching him with a complaint.
Conan now strongly suspected that after hearing Aki-chan's "I want them all" remark, Ayumi might be treating him and Genta as fish in her pond, with only Mitsuhiko being the innocent one.
He had been acting strange these past two days.
After hearing Conan's words, Aki-chan couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't realize it, but you're quite popular with elementary school kids."
Conan stared at Aki-chan with dead fish eyes, "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this...Actually, I have something else to tell you!"
In fact, Conan had been struggling these past few days over the treasure map the kids found.
He initially thought it was a child's doodle, but later he deduced that it was likely a real treasure map.
However, when he brought the three kids from the Detective Boys to the destination.
Not only were the gold coins gone, but the three gang members were found dead, hanging from the beams.
They were pale, and strangely drained of all their blood, looking like dried squid.
The scene was extremely gruesome, and the three kids from the Detective Boys were scared to tears.
Hearing Conan tell him this, the smile on Aki-chan's face gradually grew wider.
Of course, it was his demon servants who intercepted the gold coins and killed the three gangsters.
Their blood and souls were extracted.
Aki-chan used them to create three demon servants.
Come to think of it, should he let these three demon servants appear in front of Conan?
This staunch materialist might be scared when he sees three dead people appearing in front of him.
But probably not.
Conan had learned about his mother Yukiko's disguise techniques.
He might just think they are people in disguise.
Thinking about this, Aki-chan thought of Yukiko, whom he hadn't seen in three years.
That mature woman who was still as playful as a girl, full of energy.
Years ago, a criminal who was imprisoned due to a case solved by Yusaku Kudo when he was younger was released.
Out of resentment, he tried to get revenge on Yusaku Kudo, and he tried to assassinate him.
Although he didn't succeed, it did result in Yusaku Kudo losing his ability in that area.
To a certain extent, this revenge could be considered a success.
Three years ago, Yusaku Kudo lost faith in Japanese hospitals.
He and Yukiko moved to America.
He wanted to try the medical skills of the professors in large foreign hospitals.
To see if they could cure his unspeakable problem.
He heard from Eri's phone call with Yukiko that there wasn't any progress.
Every day, Yusaku Kudo was immersed in writing mystery novels, using it to forget his troubles.
The voice Yukiko's phone transmitted was filled with resentment.
She seemed to want to go back to Beika.
Aki-chan looked at Conan, his friend's mother.
She might come back at any time.
"What kind of look is that?" Conan asked suspiciously.
Aki-chan shook his head, he couldn't say "I was just thinking about your mom."
"No, nothing, it's just that this strange way of death.
Maybe they used special drugs, maybe it's related to the men in black who drugged you."
Aki-chan casually threw the blame onto Gin.
Conan immediately perked up, "You're right!
A normal death wouldn't be like that, those men in black must have used special drugs on me."
