Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1258 Conan: Am I the only one excluded?

Nearest port.

A black Porsche 356A was parked on the shore, with smoke curling out of the windows and a strong smell of tobacco in the air.

Even though Vodka himself was a smoker, he couldn't help coughing and glanced at the pile of ashtrays next to him.

Ever since he was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department last time, he found that his elder brother's smoking addiction was getting worse and worse. From dusk till now, he had emptied the ashtray three times.

If he keeps smoking like this, won't he die? Vodka looked at Gin with some concern and lit another cigarette.

Just then, there was a knock on the car window.

Gin lowered the car window and saw Vermouth standing by the car door with a gloomy smile on his face. He exhaled a puff of smoke: "Why are you so slow? Vermouth."

Vermouth smiled as usual. When the car lock unlocked with a click, she opened the back door and got in gracefully, taking out a lady's cigarette and lighting it.

Vodka took a furtive glance and muttered to himself, "He's smoking as soon as he gets on the bus. Sooner or later, he'll get lung cancer and die!" He cursed inwardly, but his hand unconsciously took out a cigarette and lit one too.

There were three people in the car, two of them were smoking, which made him feel addicted to smoking.

Vermouth blew out a smoke ring and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Rum asked me to help with some things."

"There's a person who may pose a threat to the organization in the future. For some reason, he's been staying in Japan lately. Rum asked me to investigate the reason."

Gin said nothing, just smoked silently.

Vodka was very perceptive and asked at the right moment: "So how's your investigation going?"

Vermouth sneered and said lightly, "It's not interesting at all. I can kill him at any time with that ability."

Gin heard the hidden meaning of Vermouth and asked coldly: "Didn't you get rid of him?"

Vermouth replied calmly: "Not today."

“But if necessary—” Belmode’s tone suddenly became cold and fierce, with a hint of murderous intent permeating the air. “Anytime is fine.”

···

At the same time at the Kudo family.

After seeing off Inspector Megure, Conan hurried to Kudo Yusaku's bedroom, but found the door locked.

He slammed the door anxiously: "Don't sleep, both of you! Vermouth might have been to our house just now!"

The more he analyzed, the paler Conan's face became.

"The sudden illness of the two of you might be related to Vermouth!"

Still no response from inside the house.

Conan stared at the knob lock on his door, which was almost the same as the one in the case. He recalled the locked room method he had just deduced, and his face turned pale with fright.

Could it be that... Could it be that...

Just when he felt like the sky was falling, there was a click and the door lock was unscrewed from the inside.

As the door opened, Yuya appeared at the door with a smile on his face and gestured to him to be quiet.

Conan was struck by lightning and said blankly: "Yu, Yuya, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"

When he turned around, he saw Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko standing in the room, both looking at him with a smile, and they didn't look sick at all.

Yuya shushed him, then whispered into the headset, "Mr. Akai, Mr. Judy, Mr. Kamal, what's the situation?"

Three voices came from the headphones one after another.

"No eavesdropping devices or miniature cameras were found in the study."

"Everything is normal in the other rooms."

Judy said admiringly, "As expected of a plan that Yuya and the famous mystery novelist discussed, the other party has fallen into the trap!"

Yuya breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like everything was going well. "But we can't let our guard down. Check it out again carefully. If there's no problem, come back."

"learn!"

Conan stared at the scene in amazement, and stumbled over his words: "What, what is going on?"

It seemed as if something had happened that he didn't know about, and it was a conspiracy between his parents and Yuya, an "outsider", and he was completely excluded!

Kudo Yukiko explained with a smile, "After staying in the country for a while, I noticed that someone was following and monitoring us. I told Yusaku about it, and then Yusaku told Yuya-chan. The two of them discussed it and decided to make a bigger noise to see what the other party was up to."

Yuya interjected, "The plan was basically Yusaku-san's idea, I just made a cameo appearance."

Kudo Yusaku continued, "Then we saw a flyer for a suspicious Italian restaurant in our mailbox, and we took advantage of the situation."

Yuya smiled and said, "The dish really tastes a bit strange. They added pidostigmine to it."

"Bistigmine is somewhat toxic and can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which are very similar to the symptoms of food poisoning."

He has skills in medicine, although not as good as Miyano Shiho, but it is still easy for him to identify some medicines.

When Conan heard Yuya immediately recognize what was added to the dishes, and saw that the three people looked completely fine, he immediately understood: "So you didn't eat those dishes at all?"

Kudo Yukiko laughed smugly. "Of course, we pretended to eat it, but actually poured the food into our bags." She said with a pained expression, "What a pity for my bag. I quite like that one."

Kudo Yusaku also said with great joy: "We pretended to have these symptoms, and since Yuya is hospitalized, and there are medical records issued by the hospital, the credibility is even higher.

We use this drama to lure them out of their hole, making them think that we have no defenses against them and that we can take advantage of them at any time, thus letting them down their guard."

Conan was dissatisfied and said with his eyes wide open: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! And why can You participate but I can't?" He was almost scared to death!

He suddenly turned around and glared at Kudo Yukiko: "You really haven't given up on abandoning me and adopting Yuya instead!"

Yuya: What the hell?

Kudo Yukiko grinned awkwardly and looked away as if feeling guilty: "No way, don't talk nonsense, we are all doing this for the plan, the plan!"

Conan kept shouting, "Look into my eyes when you speak!"

Kudo Yusaku naturally saw that his wife's guilty look was deliberately teasing their son. He rubbed Conan's head with a sinister smile on his face: "As the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people!"

"Leaving you alone is the best choice. After all, Vermouth knows our relationship too well. Only the reaction when you don't know the truth can be called the most perfect acting."

Yuya also smiled and said, "And Conan, your acting is indeed a bit poor. If I tell you in advance, Vermouth is such a cunning person. If we reveal our true intentions in front of her, everything we have done will be in vain and will also arouse her vigilance."

"Vermouth's position has always been ambiguous, but don't forget that she is ultimately a member of the organization and our enemy."

Conan's mouth twitched violently, and he was unable to refute.

In terms of acting skills, he is indeed much inferior.

Playing the role of a child had already used up all his energy, and the only sounds he could make were "Ah-le-le" and "Oh-ga-si".

Kudo Yukiko was once a famous Japanese star, and her husband Kudo Yusaku and "half-disciple" Yuya (Yuya even learned acting and disguise from Kudo Yukiko in order to hide the origin of his skills) are naturally not much different.

If only I had learned some acting skills from my mom, I wouldn't be left out of today's plans, Conan thought bitterly.

Okay, after karate, this is the second time Conan regrets not learning something.

Kudo Yukiko moved closer to Conan and lowered her voice: "Sharon actually likes you very much, Shinichi, so don't worry about her doing anything bad to you."

Conan had dead eyes and a speechless expression on his face.

At this time, Shuichi Akai came back.

He looked at everyone in the room and said, "Make sure it's safe."

"This way, we don't have to worry about them suddenly attacking here for the time being."

Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Well, let's just wait and see what big moves that organization will make!"
