Chapter 172 Kudo’s Mom
Conan children are very curious and insightful, and they have seen the big Miyano Shiho before.
If the great detective knew about the existence of Miss Shiho, and then became aware of his close relationship with this talented scientific girl from a criminal organization, he would definitely find something wrong.
It seems that I can no longer hide my identity.
Although from a standpoint, Lin Xinyi and Conan are teammates now, it doesn't matter if they let each other know their identities.
But when he thought of Conan's unyielding behavior, he felt very uneasy about the great detective.
But now, in order to help my little girlfriend find a guinea pig to test the medicine, the person who paid for it was taken advantage of.
He could only let this somewhat unreliable detective know more secrets.
Lin Xinyi fell into deep thought about this.
Miyano Shiho noticed his entanglement and thought that his boyfriend was worried about how to get money.
She was a little embarrassed and asked curiously:
"Lin, how much salary did the organization offer you before?"
"890,000 yen a month." Lin Xinyi replied casually.
"890,000 yen" Miss Shiho's expression was a little complicated:
890,000 yen is barely enough to buy her a brand-name bag.
And the bags Lin Xinyi bought for her over the years can fill a wardrobe together.
Only then did she finally realize clearly how much effort Lin Xinyi had put in to satisfy her little hobby in the past few years.
It turned out that since so many years ago, this man had been loving and protecting her silently with everything he had.
Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Sorry. I didn't notice this until now."
She murmured to herself in a low voice, and looked at Lin Xinyi with a secretly affectionate look in her eyes.
After some thought, Lin Xinyi said again:
"Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the money."
"You have been staying at home recently, waiting for news from me."
As he spoke, he finished the breakfast in front of him, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and looked down at his watch:
"It's getting late, I'm going to work first."
"Shiho, if you need clothes, ask your sister to fit the face mold and mask together and put them on, disguise yourself as 'Kana Asai', and just go out and buy them."
“As for the money”
Lin Xinyi opened his wallet, dug through it and counted out a few bills.
He hesitated for a moment while holding the banknotes, and then couldn't help but look at Miss Shiho, who was barely covering her shame with an ill-fitting large shirt:
"Forget it. I can't save money on buying clothes for my girlfriend."
Enduring the pain, Lin Xinyi trembled and pinched out a wad of bills and handed it to Miyano Akemi:
"Miss Mingmei, you can use the money first. If it's not enough, ask me for it."
"In a few days, my salary as a management officer at the Metropolitan Police Department should be paid."
"When the time comes, life won't be so difficult."
"Anyway, I still have to buy better things for Shiho. You don't have to save money for me."
He talked nonchalantly about his salary, and by the way, he handed over all his remaining savings.
Miss Shiho looked on with amusement:
Lin Xinyi looks like a diligent middle-aged office worker now:
While he was busy going out to work, being served by his family, he was nagging his wife, a full-time housewife, to stay at home and take care of her daughter.
In this strong sense of déjà vu, the atmosphere in the villa became even warmer.
Um. It seems like something is wrong again.
After realizing that she was still playing the role of a daughter in this scene, Miss Shiho was a little depressed.
In her delicate mood, Lin Xinyi had already packed up her clothes and walked to the entrance.
He put on his leather shoes at the door, opened the door, and prepared to leave the villa and go to work in the Metropolitan Police Department.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
Lin Xinyi turned back curiously, but when the footsteps approached, they suddenly slowed down.
I saw little Miss Shiho wearing her large, ill-fitting slippers, trying hard to cool her delicate little face, pretending to be at ease, and walked slowly in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xinyi looked down at Zhibao and asked curiously.
"Yeah." Although she was talking to Lin Xinyi, Miss Shiho didn't look up at her boyfriend, but looked down at her feet.
After murmuring for a while, she spoke in a cold and cold tone:
"Are you coming again tonight?"
"Of course." Lin Xinyi replied.
"Remember to come back early, don't be so late again."
Miss Shiho said such caring words without any expression on her face.
As she said this, she mustered up the courage to raise her face and slowly approach Lin Xinyi.
The hesitant look seemed like he was nervously expecting something.
Lin Xinyi was silent for a while, then smiled movedly:
"Well, I'll try to go home as early as possible."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but bend down and touch Shiho's naturally curly brown hair.
Miyano Shiho: "."
Idiot, who asked you to touch your head?
What I am playing now is not the daughter!
Today is still a calm day.
Lin Xinyi fished for most of the day in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the time soon reached the afternoon.
At this moment, he was considering whether to get off work early and go home to see Shiho, or whether to get off work early and go find the guinea pig, er, the big benefactor, to have a good chat.
In order for Conan to provide money and people, the truth must not be hidden.
But the great detective's bad habit of taking risks and being in the limelight always made Lin Xinyi somewhat resistant and unwilling to let him know too much.
"Hey, how can I make him be more low-key?"
That guy Conan never listens to anything he says.
Lin Xinyi is now thinking about whether to use the legendary electric shock therapy to cure his addiction to reasoning.
At this moment, he suddenly received a call:
"Dr. Ali?" Lin Xinyi was a little surprised:
He knew that Dr. Ali was Conan's neighbor, Conan's trusted friend, and so far the only third person who knew about his relationship with Conan.
At the same time, Dr. Ali is also the inventor of Conan's pair of "foot strength fitness".
From Lin Xin's first glance, this doctor was probably positioned similar to Shiho, a magic equipment forger with the trademark of a scientist.
However, although because of Conan's relationship, he and Dr. Ari knew each other's existence.
But these days, due to the lack of intersection in their lives, there are no opportunities for communication between them.
And now, Dr. Ali suddenly took the initiative to call him?
What is it for?
Lin Xinyi answered the phone with some confusion, and the slightly old voice soon came from the phone:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi."
"If you are free in the afternoon, can you come to my house and sit down?"
Dr. A Li said straight to the point:
"I have something I want to talk to you about in person. It's about Conan."
"Is it related to Conan?" Lin Xinyi was a little concerned, so he agreed to Dr. A Li's invitation.
Then, he quickly left the Metropolitan Police Department and rushed to Dr. Ali's house.
Dr. Agasa lives next door to Kudo.
The person who knocked on the door and opened it for Lin Xinyi was not the extremely smart little old man.
Unlike the old man with Mediterranean hair that he expected to see, what appeared in front of him was a beautiful woman with beautiful long brown curly hair.
"Are you Mr. Lin Xinyi?"
The well-dressed and elegant woman smiled at him naturally and generously:
"Come in quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
"My husband and I want to have a good chat with you about Conan's child."
"'You and your husband'?"
Lin Xinyi frowned slightly:
He had no idea who the brown-haired beauty in front of him was, let alone who her husband was.
Not to mention, he had no hope that more people would know about his relationship with Conan.
Could it be that Dr. Ali is actually a big mouth and has told others such fatal secrets?
The mysterious brown-haired beauty opened the door and turned around to lead him, but Lin Xinyi stood warily outside the door and did not follow him in:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Where's Dr. Ari?"
"Who am I, you ask? Haha."
"Forgot to introduce myself."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then gave a wild smile.
Then, she gently lifted her smooth and beautiful long curly hair, and arranged it into a radiant look:
"I am Yukiko Kudo, or rather, Yukiko Fujimine."
"You must have heard of these two names, right?"
This beautiful lady, who called herself Kudo Yukiko, confidently announced her name.
It was as if just saying her name would make someone recognize her.
"." Lin Xinyi was silent for a while: "I haven't heard of it."
"That's the big star. The very famous one."
Ms. Yukiko's smile was a little subtle.
"Is it famous?"
Lin Xinyi's expression was very suspicious.
Kudo Yukiko: "."
"I haven't been back for so long."
"So my popularity in Japan has dropped so drastically?"
She straightened her expression in embarrassment, then stretched out her hand seriously and introduced herself to Lin Xinyi:
"Hello, I am Kudo Shinichi's mother."
"Are you Kudo Shinichi's mother?"
Lin Xinyi looked up and down at Kudo Yukiko's appearance with some surprise:
As the mother of a high school student, Ms. Yukiko looks too young.
She is so young that she doesn't look like her biological mother, but she looks like the young stepmother Kudo's father found for him when he has a second chance of youth.
"Yes, she is Shinichi's mother."
"Yukiko and Shinichi's father just came back from abroad. There is something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Xinyi was suspicious, but Dr. Ali quietly appeared behind Yukiko and officially certified Yukiko's identity.
"It turns out it's really Kudo's mother. Sorry, I didn't see it."
Facing the facts, Lin Xinyi had to admit that he had made a mistake.
And since this Ms. Yukiko is Kudo's mother who returned from abroad, it makes sense for Dr. Agasa to tell her Conan's secret.
Lin Xinyi had also been mentally prepared for this - his son was missing, and it was impossible for Conan's parents not to come and investigate.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Everyone says I'm too young to be Shinichi's mother."
With a little pride, Kudo Yukiko smiled happily.
Until Lin Xinyi shook hands with her and shouted formally:
"Hello, aunt!"
Kudo Yukiko's smile froze.
"You take good care of yourself. You don't look like someone in their forties or fifties at all!"
When facing his friend's mother, Lin Xinyi used honorifics when speaking.
"Mr. Lin, you are really good at talking."
Kudo Yukiko praised Lin Shinichi's art of speaking with some gritted teeth.
But Lin Xinyi was completely unaware and went straight to the point:
"Aunt Kudo."
"Don't call me Aunt Kudo"
"What about Aunt Yukiko?"
Kudo Yukiko: "."
Lin Xinyi didn't notice the slight twitching of the corners of the beautiful elder's mouth at all, and just asked straight to the point:
"Why did you call me here today?"
"Oh this."
Kudo Yukiko adjusted her mentality and showed a playful smile:
"Actually, after learning the truth from Dr. Agasa, Shinichi's father and I were a little worried about the child's condition."
"Mr. Lin, you should have noticed that that child is naturally courageous. He always likes to rush forward and take care of things by himself when encountering problems. He doesn't even care about his personal safety."
A wise child is better than a mother. As soon as Yukiko opened her mouth, she revealed what Lin Xinyi was worried about these days.
"That's right." Lin Xin nodded in agreement, becoming increasingly curious: "So?"
"So, his dad and I were thinking about it"
"Find a way to teach that boy Shinichi a good lesson."
Although she is not young, Ms. Yukiko seems to be as playful as a little girl:
"Mr. Lin, are you interested in participating?"
