“I'll take Kudo Shinichi to see a doctor, Ran, you go check on Conan, he's a kid after all.” Yu Quan pulled Kudo Shinichi away with a disdainful expression.
Tsk! A bit troublesome, but I can't let Kudo Shinichi shrink in front of everyone.
Kudo Shinichi has a screw loose, he likes to act recklessly, but Yu Quan is no fool.
A person who can grow and shrink... in the eyes of others, especially those who pursue immortality, he's a hot commodity!
If Kudo Shinichi really gets snatched, where am I going to find a soul?
“Okay.” Mouri Ran nodded without any suspicion.
Furuya Heiji still had questions for Kudo Shinichi, but Yu Quan threw him off with a quick turn around the corner…
“Yu Quan, you've been such a help.” Kudo Shinichi, now in his Conan form, struggled to pull himself out of the adult's clothes and expressed his gratitude.
“No problem, just send me a few more souls,” Yu Quan said with a playful smile.
“Huh?” Conan was a bit confused.
“Oh! You owe me a favor,” Yu Quan raised his eyebrow and waved his hand, leaving without hesitation.
As for how to escape the predicament of not having suitable clothes, that wasn't Yu Quan's problem to worry about…
Looking at Yu Quan's back, Conan felt a pang of gratitude.
When he first met Yu Quan, he had always called him a fraud, but Yu Quan didn't hold it against him and even helped him hide.
The most important thing is that Yu Quan never questioned why he had shrunk, Yu Quan is really a good guy!
……
While taking Yu Shi Ya and Mouri Ran and the others back to the office, Yu Quan saw a very familiar figure on the street between the Mouri Detective Agency and his own Soul Exorcist Agency.
It was a young woman wearing a red dress, with twin pigtails and round glasses.
Though her face was covered with deliberate makeup, even with several freckles on both cheeks, Yu Quan recognized her at a glance—
Hirosue Miyabi, no, Miyano Akemi!
“Yu Quan.” Yu Shi Ya also recognized her, instinctively calling out to Yu Quan.
Yu Quan nodded and walked forward after getting out of the car: “Ms. Miyabi?”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Miyano Akemi's body froze, but she quickly reacted, trying to remain calm: “Are you calling me?”
“Ah? Sorry, I mistook you for someone else, you look a lot like a friend of mine.” Yu Quan shrugged.
“No… nothing.” Miyano Akemi shook her head.
She felt a sense of unease facing Yu Quan.
“But, this lady’s back really does resemble Ms. Miyabi.” Mouri Ran blinked.
Miyano Akemi's expression stiffened, and seeing Mouri Kogoro, she felt like she had grasped a lifeline—
She walked straight up to Mouri Kogoro, her voice urgent: “You are Mr. Mouri, right?”
“Ah? I am.” Mouri Kogoro nodded, confused.
“I want to ask you to find my father for me.” Miyano Akemi said impatiently.
“Well… let's talk upstairs about this.” Mouri Kogoro nodded and took Miyano Akemi upstairs.
Yu Quan didn’t follow but instead called out to Yu Shi Ya and headed back to the Soul Exorcist Agency across from the detective agency.
While sitting in the waiting room on the second floor, drinking tea, he occasionally looked up through the window at the detective agency.
Miyano Akemi… to save her younger sister Miyano Shiho in the organization, she took on the task of collecting one billion yen from Gin, the organization's top assassin.
She planned a bank robbery and even used the alias Hirose Miyabi to work at Mifa Bank.
This morning, she took advantage of the chaos caused by the Rift Woman’s appearance last night in Mifa Town and, with her accomplices, carried out a bank robbery from inside and outside, stealing one billion yen from Mifa Bank.
What Miyano Akemi hadn't expected was that one of the guys who was supposed to drive the money away turned on her—
He cut off all contact with Miyano Akemi and fled with the money.
To find the traitor quickly and prevent any losses, Miyano Akemi pretended to be the traitor’s daughter and asked Mouri Kogoro to find him…
Yu Quan had anticipated this. To play it safe, Miyano Akemi wouldn't go to him, a soul exorcist.
But he hadn't expected that Miyano Akemi would rob a bank this morning and go to Mouri Detective Agency for a commission in the afternoon…
It seems like the Heavenly Fang stored in his system space is about to come in handy!
Yu Quan took a sip of tea, his mood excellent as he curled his lips.
“Master, should I go watch over her?” Yu Shi Ya volunteered.
“Not a bad idea.” Yu Quan tapped his fingers on the table.
Miyano Akemi must die once, it's something Yu Quan won’t avoid.
But— Miyano Akemi dying once is fine, but if she doesn’t have a whole corpse, it might be a problem.
Yu Shi Ya nodded.
As a spider fairy, she didn't need to use invisibility charms like Yu Quan to hide herself.
Yu Shi Ya directly transformed into her spider fairy form, disappearing from the window in a way that ordinary people couldn't see…
