Chapter 40 Conan’s mother?

Chapter 40 Conan’s mother?

The first heavy snow fell in Tokyo.

Maori Detective Agency

There is no school today, so Conan is sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Mouri Kogoro is putting his feet on the table, reading a newspaper leisurely in his hand.

Mao Lilan walked in from outside with a stack of bills in her hand.

"Dad, you still haven't received any commissions in these days?" asked Mao Lilan.

Maori Kogoro stared at the newspaper without looking up and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Yeah..." The father said as if it was a matter of course, which made Mao Lilan a little angry. "Look at the various bills this month. We will soon have no money to eat!"

Maori Kogoro looked up in astonishment, "It's not that exaggerated, right? I remember the commission fee was quite high last time."

Basically, Ran Mouri is in charge of all the affairs at home. She also knows the password of the passbook. Kogoro Mouri is not very clear about the expenses.

Conan couldn't help but look over. The uncle was living such a miserable life that he couldn't even afford to eat? Should he secretly support him?

Otherwise, Xiaolan and I would have no food to eat.

Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "That commission fee has been used up long ago."

"Ah, this..." Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "Um, when Conan decided to stay at our house, didn't he leave a check? I remember there was..."

"Dad, have you forgotten?" Mao Lilan sighed, "Last time when I was on a commission, I rented a car, but the car was blown up by the criminals, and all the money was used for compensation."

Kogoro Mouri and Conan both twitched their lips at the same time, remembering that incident.

Maori Kogoro was somewhat helpless: "But, commissions are not something I can accept just because I want to... Are we really out of money?"

"It's not that there isn't one." Mao Lilan muttered softly.

It certainly wasn't because he had no money. She just couldn't stand her father being so lazy and wanted to scare him on purpose.

"Come to think of it," Mao Lilan suddenly looked at Conan, "Conan, your parents haven't been discharged from the hospital yet? It's been a long time."

Conan was stunned and a little flustered: "Ah, it seems so..."

Maori Kogoro said casually: "Why not call and ask? Dr. Agasa should know their phone number, right?"

"That's true. Even though he needs to be hospitalized, it's a bit too much to not care about the child at all." Mao Lilan agreed.

Conan was panicked.

It's over. The situation was sudden and Dr. Agasa made up an excuse. What should he do now? Where can he find a pair of hospitalized parents?

It won’t be exposed, right?

As she spoke, Ran Mao Li walked towards the phone, intending to call Dr. Agasa to ask.

No! Conan was so anxious that he almost pounced on her.

"Ding dong!"

At this time, the doorbell rang.

"coming!"

Mao Lilan hurried over to open the door.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped for the time being.

"Ah, really?" Mao Lilan's voice was surprised.

Conan looked around in confusion. Who is it?

Just when Conan was curious, Mao Lilan came back with a happy face and shouted to Conan: "Conan, your mother is here!"

Eh? Conan was confused. Mom? Wasn't she abroad? Why did she come back suddenly?

He immediately realized that he was now Edogawa Conan! How could he have a mother with this identity?

A plump woman wearing glasses walked in. When she saw Conan, her face was full of joy: "I'm sorry, Conan, I left you alone here for so long. It must be lonely, right?"

Eh? Eh? Conan continued to be confused. Who is this woman?

"But don't worry, your mother is here to pick you up!" The woman came over and hugged Conan, who looked confused.

This time Conan finally reacted, pushed the woman away, and shouted in panic: "Who are you?!"

"Ah, isn't that your mother?" asked Mao Lilan in confusion.

Kogoro Mouri was also a little surprised, but as the adult of the family, he still walked over immediately.

The woman was not at all flustered. She smiled bitterly and said, "This child must be upset because he blames us for leaving him here alone."

"My name is Edogawa Fumiyo," Edogawa Fumiyo took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Maori Kogoro, "I'm Edogawa Conan's real mother!"

Kogoro Mori took a look at the business card and saw that it did have Edogawa Fumiyo's name on it, and the company name, contact number and other information were all there, so it didn't look like a fake.

How is it possible? Conan's face was full of fear. The name Edogawa was just a name he made up. How could there be a mother?

Just when he was about to retort loudly, Edogawa Fumiyo suddenly looked at him with a smile on her lips.

In Conan's eyes, this smile suddenly became evil and terrifying. He felt cold all over and extremely frightened.

Could it be that this woman... is from the Black Organization? !

Under the "threat" of Edogawa Fumiyo, Conan could only choose to remain silent, as he was afraid that it would implicate the Mori father and daughter.

So, after Conan acquiesced and there was nothing wrong with her identity as a woman, Edogawa Fumiyo took Conan away in front of Mori's father and daughter.

···

The car left the Maori office, and Conan asked coldly: "Auntie, who are you?"

Edogawa Fumiyo laughed and said, "Of course I am your mother."

Conan, who had already determined that the woman was a member of the Black Organization, immediately retorted: "You must be joking, my mother is..."

"Kudo Yukiko." Edogawa Fumiyo spoke first.

Conan's face was filled with shock.

Under Conan's shocked gaze, Edogawa Fumiyo fluently spoke of Kudo Yukiko's identity: she was once a world-famous beauty star, but at the age of 20, she fell in love with the famous novelist Kudo Yusaku and soon got married.

She then retired from the film and television industry at the height of her fame and gave birth to a son with Yusaku Kudo.

Now, their son has been left in Japan while the couple is traveling abroad.

Edogawa Fumiyo finished speaking with a cold expression on his face: "Are you right, Kudo-Shinichi?"

really!

Conan was overwhelmed by fear, his eyes full of disbelief, and he subconsciously wanted to do something.

But he didn't expect Edogawa to pull out a gun and point it at his head, warning him: "Don't move. If you behave, I will take you to a fun place."

Fun? It's really fun, right?

At this moment, the car happened to come to the traffic light, and Edogawa Fumiyo subconsciously looked forward and prepared to step on the brakes.

Conan suddenly waved his hand and knocked the gun out of the woman's hand. When she was surprised, he took advantage of his small body, lowered his body and stepped on the accelerator.

"Ah!" Edogawa Fumiyo screamed in panic, grabbed the steering wheel, and almost crashed into other cars.

After finally stopping the car, Edogawa Fumiyo yelled, "What are you doing? Do you want to die?"

But Conan opened the car door swiftly and ran out.

Edogawa Fumiyo wanted to chase him, but found helplessly that her seat belt was not fastened. When she unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car, Conan was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the direction where Conan disappeared, she clenched her fists in anger.
