Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 67 The Missing Kudo Yukiko

  Daily sells TV station.

   At this time, Jiang Xia and Kudo Yukiko had already entered the shooting scene and were getting familiar with the camera positions.

  According to the regulations of this TV station, when entering the studio, you cannot bring any audio and video equipment. So the guests and the audience handed over their mobile phones to the staff before entering.

   When the “man in black” dialed Yukiko Kudo, a lady’s mobile phone vibrated in the small basket in front of the staff member.

   The staff smiled and quickly pinched it to mute so as not to disturb others’ work.

  …

  The phone could not get through.

   The man in black silently put down his phone, stared at the screen, and fell into deep thought.

  Conan hid behind the door and watched in secret. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the man in black looked calm at first glance, but when he looked closely, he seemed a little flustered.

  Conan was at a loss, and at the same time thought with luck, could it be that Edogawa Fumyo did something strange and was arrested by the police? That’s not bad, enemy -1.

   As he was thinking, the man in black suddenly turned around and walked towards the kitchen where Conan was.

  Conan was startled and quickly moved back to his previous position, lying upside down and pretending to sleep.

   Soon, the kitchen door creaked, and the man in black pushed in.

   He walked straight to Conan, pushed him, and said in a weird hoarse voice, “Stop pretending, I know you’re awake—where did Fumyo Edogawa go?”

  Conan was afraid that the man in black was cheating on him, so he still closed his eyes and didn’t move.

   After a stalemate for more than a minute, the man in black sighed.

   He took off his mask, revealing a face very similar to Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Yusaku, also known as Conan’s father, squatted down half-facedly, and poked the dirt-covered Conan with his mask: “Wake up. Did you see your mother? We made an appointment to be here half an hour ago. Convergence, but she never came.”

  “…”

  “…………”

   “??????”

  Conan opened his eyes in shock, looked at the “dangerous organization member” next to him in shock, and jumped up in shock: “??!”

  …

   In order to cooperate with his wife’s plan to “let Shinichi experience the beatings of society”, Yukiko Kudo and Yukiko Kudo split up this morning and went to the hotel to set up a “killing scene”.

After   , he came to this vacant house as planned, but found that his son was still there and his wife was gone.

   Kudo Yukiko’s phone has been unable to get through and is outside the signal range.

   Kudo Yusaku left the empty house while his son was still awake, and searched along the road.

   He chased after the nearby convenience store, but because of the high traffic of people, the footprints were messy, and he lost his track.

   With limited information, Yusaku Kudo could only think as much as possible.

   He stood in front of the convenience store and looked at the nearby subway station.

   Yukiko’s cell phone can’t be connected, this may be because she has entered a place with poor signal, such as elevator, subway, etc. Of course, it may also be that the signal is artificially blocked.

   Here, the elevator is excluded first. Because he called several times before and after, with a total interval of more than ten minutes, Yukiko was unlikely to stay in the elevator for such a long time.

The possibility of    on the subway is also not high – there is still business to do today, Yukiko has no reason to pigeon off him without saying a word, and run away on the subway alone, at least he will send him a message.

   And if it is kidnapping, the subway is obviously not a good tool for transporting hostages.

   So it’s more likely that someone interfered with Yukiko’s phone with a signal jammer, which caused it to be out of range.

   But the question is, which serious person would carry a signal jammer these days.

   Kudo Yusaku felt bad the more he thought about it.

   Although his wife has been out of film for many years, it is inevitable that there will be some fanatical fans with evil intentions. In addition, there is a more dangerous situation.

  ——Perhaps they were targeted by that dangerous organization because they pretended to be members of the black organization.

   Kudo Yusaku thought of this, his expression gradually became serious.

   It can make enough poison to make people smaller, even if it is only a side effect, it is enough to prove the strength of this organization.

  The worst case is that the black organization has actually noticed Conan, who looks similar to Kudo Shinichi, and for some purpose, instead of capturing the target immediately, it has been observing secretly.

  In this case, today they disguised themselves as members of the organization and approached Conan, didn’t they just hit the muzzle of the gun?

  … This assumption is not very likely, but once it is true, the consequences will be very serious.

   Therefore, Yusaku Kudo didn’t stay any longer. He hurriedly returned to the empty house, glanced at the kitchen first, and was pleased to find that his son was still there.

   So he was lucky again and tried to find Yukiko Kudo again, hoping that she had actually returned from the convenience store, but just happened to be staggered from him…

   However, no one could be found.

   After a moment of silence, Yusaku Kudo tentatively called again, and then he found out in confusion that there was a signal from Yukiko Kudo, but no one answered.

  … Could it be that the kidnappers found out that someone was trying to contact Yukiko, so they stopped the signal blocking and wanted to talk to him?

   Kudo Yusaku felt that he needed to have more information.

   Thinking so, Kudo Yusaku turned his attention to his son.

  ——Conan, who pretended to be asleep, was shaken by Kudo Yusaku just like that.

   It is a pity, however, that Conan failed to provide information, but was more confused than him.

  Conan stared at the familiar face, and after a few beats he noticed Yusaku Kudo’s question, he repeated doubtfully, “My mother?”

   Kudo Yusaku nodded: “It’s ‘Edogawa Fumyo’, she changed her face.”

  ”…” Conan recalled the situation on the road and pulled out the dead fish’s eyes, “No wonder ‘Edogawa Fumyo’ kept praising ‘Kudou Yukiko’ when he mentioned my family situation…”

Kudo Yusaku sighed: “In the beginning, we just wanted you to realize that fighting against that organization alone is a very dangerous thing… But now it seems that your situation may be worse than I expected. Dangerous.”

  Conan asked angrily, “Huh?”

   Kudo Yusaku helped him untangle the knot: “Your mother is missing and can’t be reached. I’m looking for her, but now there is no clue…”

   said, he threw away the rope and picked up the son who had not returned to God from the ground: “I can’t stay here, leave first, we will talk on the way.”

  …

  Daily sell TV station backstage.

  When the father and son were trying to find a wife/mother. Yoko Kinoshita excitedly looked at Yukiko Kudo who took off the disguise mask, and a small star appeared in her eyes.

——As a die-hard fan, standing face to face with the idol at this time, and holding the idol’s hand… Although the idol is squatting with a funny belly piled up with fillers, but Yoko Kinoshita is still happy to be about to ascend to heaven .

   Kudo Yukiko has been retired for a long time. At this time, she met her fans after a long absence. She is still a cute and polite junior. The two chatted happily for a while. Before long, it was time to start shooting.

   Jiang Xia sat at the table and looked at the slightly chaotic scene, but he wasn’t too nervous. After all, he remembered that in the original world line, Maori Kogoro did not miss the show.

  With such a senior as an example… Jiang Xia thinks that he can do it too.

   The recording went really well.

  Although there are questions and answers on the spot, Jiang Xia watched a lot of anime when he was a child, and he is already familiar with the various routines in this world. Basically, he can guess the finale directly by changing the conditions.

   And reasoning is not about arresting people, no evidence is needed, as long as the result is correct, the process can be arbitrarily edited, as long as it can be edited reasonably.

   Kudo Yukiko sat in the auditorium below and looked at Jiang Xia with relief, feeling that the skills she taught must have come in handy.

  …

   At the long table in the center of the camera, there are four people sitting, Jiang Xia, a resident guest, as well as the host and assistant – today’s assistant, with a friendly cameo by Kinoshita Yoko.

   However, Jiang Xia’s attention was more on the host than Yoko Kinoshita.

   The host is a middle-aged uncle, a funny-looking comedian. There was a lot of murderous aura around him.

   It seems that this is the kind person who sent ghosts in friendship today…

  …

  In the middle of the live broadcast, there are advertisements inserted, and the recording is paused.

   The host covered his lower abdomen and started groaning in pain.

   Jiang Xia said with concern: “Are you alright?”

   “Fortunately, alas, maybe the milk in the morning has expired…” The host said, pulling a staff member who passed by, “Where is Suwa? Why haven’t I seen him in the afternoon?”

   Suwa is the producer of this show. Now he is really not in the studio, because the host has made an appointment with him, and let Suwa wait for him in the conference room downstairs.

   Now, the host suddenly mentioned this point, and also hoped that someone would notice Suwa’s location, so that he could make an alibi after killing someone for a while.

   Jiang Xia sat quietly beside him, watching the host perform with tolerance.
