A dying promise...

Qin Zhibo, who looked like "Conan", stared at the coffee table silently, recalling in his mind the night conversation between the two in the Chevrolet the day before the plan to capture Gin was carried out.

At that time, Qin Zhibo was talking to Akai Shuichi as "Akai Muwu".

In addition to the exchange plan, the two also talked about some personal life matters.

The focus is on emotional status.

How can any parent in the world not care at all about the emotional status of their children?

Akai Shuichi's answer was that he once met the most important woman in his life.

But now, that woman is no longer there...

Later, Qin Zhibo reflected on Akai Shuichi's previous behaviors and his current attitude, and concluded that the woman he loved should be Miyano Akemi.

That is, Hui Yuan Ai's biological sister.

He is still staying in Mihua Town, probably to take care of his sister-in-law.

But the question is what's going on with the FBI?

Is he taking a leave of absence? Or is he absent from work? Or is he resigning?

Qin Zhibo didn't know much about the plot developments in this world, so he could only make random guesses in his mind.

On the sofa, Kudo Yusaku, who was sitting upright, was also considering Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai's request.

He had heard from Yukiko before that there was an FBI agent who was very familiar with Conan and was a very trusted partner.

His personal abilities are particularly outstanding among the FBI.

Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal to let this person move into your home, as there are plenty of empty rooms.

But now my home is almost overcrowded. If another FBI person is brought in at this time, I am afraid that the nice villa will turn into a scene of chaos.

so……

"Sorry, it's not very convenient for my family at this time."

"After a while, if you haven't found a suitable place to live, I will let Conan notify you..."

Kudo Yusaku declined Akai Shuichi's request without giving any specific reasons.

Okiya Subaru was also very sensible, so he stood up and said goodbye without asking any more questions.

"In this case, I won't bother you anymore... take my leave."

Yukiko in the kitchen heard Akai Shuichi was leaving and ran out again, "Huh? Leaving so soon? Don't you want to eat a freshly baked cookie?"

Subaru Okiya smiled politely at Yukiko with his gentle and gentlemanly face, "If there is a chance, next time..."

"Then I'll give it to you."

Kudo Yusaku and Okiya Subaru stood up and walked towards the entrance.

Qin Zhibo was sitting on the sofa, looking back at the two people leaving. While he was stunned, a piece of still warm cookie was inexplicably stuffed into his mouth.

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw Yukiko, who was holding an orchid finger, smiling sweetly at him, with cookie powder still remaining on the tips of her index finger and thumb.

On the coffee table behind Yukiko, dozens of uniformly shaped cookies were placed on a baking sheet.

Do so much?

Can two people finish the meal?

"How is it? Is it delicious? Shinichi..."

"..."

Qin Zhibo chewed it twice. The texture of the freshly baked cookies was denser and not as crisp as those that had been completely cooled. However, the mellow taste was better than the cookies on the market.

I have to say, Conan’s mother’s craftsmanship is quite good.

"Yeah, it's quite delicious."

Qin Zhibo praised without hesitation.

But as soon as these words came out, Yukiko's expression suddenly froze.

"Are you... Shinichi?"

"Uh...huh?"

Qin Zhibo, who was confused, was also stunned by this sentence. Did he say something wrong?

Yukiko stood up with a look of doubt on her face, clasping her waist with both hands, reasoning: "No matter what delicious food I made in the past, Shinichi, you would always give me an evaluation of 'average', 'okay', and 'just okay'..."

"You actually gave the evaluation of 'very delicious' today?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was stunned.

What kind of masochism is this?

Isn’t it enough to praise you?

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku, who sent Okiya Subaru away, also came back and saw his wife and "son" holding each other's waists and confronting each other.

"What happened?" he came over and asked.

"Shinichi praised me for making delicious cookies today!" Yukiko, wearing an apron, jumped to show off to her husband, "This is the first time that my son has praised my cooking skills!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Kudo Yusaku actually showed some surprise in his eyes.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Conan is so arrogant, but his mother has never praised her for her cooking skills even once.

No matter how good my mother is, she can't do as well as my wife, right?

When you return home, you must educate him well. Don't marry a wife and forget your mother.

But the pity for Yukiko is that the praise she received this time was not from her own son...

Eh?

She said this as if I were her godson.

At this moment, the sound of "thumping, puffing" footsteps came from the second floor above everyone's heads.

The footsteps were extremely fast, running from one end to the other within a few seconds, and it was clear that there was more than one person making the footsteps.

Qin Zhibo was shocked. There were other people in the house?

Before he could react, three straight figures appeared at the corner of the stairs at the same time.

"Jiyuan! Don't fight with me!"

"Humph... Lupine, cookies are always first come, first served..."

"I should be the one enjoying the cookies because I didn't eat lunch..."

“Who told you to practice at noon!”×2

Qin Zhibo turned to look at the three people walking down the stairs side by side, but no one gave way to the other, and was suddenly stunned.

Lupine III, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa!

The three of them are actually here!

Yukiko greeted the three of them warmly, "I made a lot of cookies this time~ enough for you to share..."

When the three of them heard this, their eyes widened at the same time, and they aimed directly at the cookies on the coffee table.

"Muma, muma... so delicious!"

"delicious……"

"..."

The three of them seemed to have been hungry for a long time, eating one piece on the left and one on the right, barely caring about what they were eating.

Ishikawa Goemon, who was a man of few words, even grabbed five or six pieces of money in one hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

Qin Zhibo looked at these three people and suddenly realized why Kudo Yusaku declined Okiya Subaru's request to move in.

Indeed, if an FBI were to move in, these people would probably have to fight.

After all, Lupine the Third is a famous international thief, ranked higher than Kaitou Kidd, so it is impossible for the FBI not to recognize him.

But since these three people are here, it means that she...

Sure enough, when Qin Zhibo turned to look at the stairs again, a fresh and beautiful girl next door was walking up the stairs.

It's Fujiko Mine using the body of Mori Ran.

I saw Fujiko Mine taking off Mao Lilan's "horns" that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and replaced them with slender ponytails hanging on both sides of her head.

The upper body is a white jacket, a red shirt, and the lower body is straight and slender jeans. The overall look is somewhere between the girl next door and the fashionable lady.

"Really~"
