Chapter 494 Detective Conan 60

Chapter 494: 494 Detective Conan 60

While I was living a normal school life, Ran brought me some news with a bright face.

"Jin! Dad finally got his yacht license! So we decided to have a celebration party at the office. You’re coming, right?"

"Oh, really? That’s good news. Okay, I’ll come."

I nodded, pretending to be happy at Ran’s words.

But as I listened to her, I couldn’t help but find it absurd.

It had already been months since he bought the yacht, and he was only now getting his license.

’The yacht is going to rot.’

Anyway, after school, I walked Ran home and then went to the department store with Sonoko, Morgan, and Haibara to buy a congratulatory gift and visited the office.

"Wahahahaha! I finally got it!"

Kogoro was in a very good mood and was laughing loudly while showing off his license.

But in the office, besides us, Kogoro’s wife Eri was also there.

It seemed Ran had called her.

Eri, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, was still a beauty.

"My goodness. I came because you said it was something important, and it was just getting one license?"

"But Dad worked hard to get it. So it’s not bad for the whole family to gather to celebrate. Please don’t be like that and stay for a bit. I’ll make you something delicious."

We also greeted Eri, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time.

"Hello, lawyer Kisaki."

"It’s been a while, Jin. You’re still getting along well with Ran, right?"

"We’re still the same."

"That’s a relief. It’s been a while, Sonoko and Morgan."

We greeted each other like that and gave the gifts we bought to Kogoro.

"Oh! This is the fishing rod I was going to buy. It was pretty expensive..."

"With that, you should be able to catch a shark."

"Right. That’s why I had my eye on it. I’ll use it well, son-in-law."

Kogoro also unwrapped Sonoko and Morgan’s gifts.

"It’s binoculars. I needed them, how did you know to buy them?"

"You gave one to Jin last time too. There’s no better gift than this for someone who sails a yacht."

"That’s true. Sonoko, I’ll use it well. Oh, Morgan’s is sunglasses."

"I found that the light reflected off the sea often hurts the eyes. So I prepared them."

"That’s advice from a senior. Thank you for caring."

But Eri, who was listening next to us, asked with a surprised expression.

"Wait a minute, you! Don’t tell me... you bought a yacht?"

"Didn’t you hear from Ran? I bought the yacht quite a while ago. And I got my license this time, so we’re having a celebration party."

At those words, Eri held her forehead as if she had a headache and sighed.

It seemed Eri was hearing about the yacht purchase for the first time today.

As the atmosphere seemed like it would get bad, Ran quickly made an excuse.

"Mom, it’s not that big of a yacht. It’s called a yacht, but it’s about the size of a small fishing boat."

"Do you think I wouldn’t know about yachts!? I know because there have been several lawsuits about yacht problems at my office! How much did you spend this time!?"

"Well... twelve million..."

"What, what did you say??? Then the maintenance cost..."

"About 1.2 million a year..."

At those words, Eri was shocked and sat down on the office sofa as if collapsing.

Seeing that, Kogoro said.

"Ah, don’t worry about it. I’m a pretty well-known detective now, so I can afford that much."

"You, is that something to say right now... Fine, let’s say you can afford it for now! But what are you going to do when Ran goes to college?"

"You don’t have to worry about that. I’m thinking of marrying her off to my son-in-law after she graduates high school. She can still study enough after she gets married."

"My goodness..."

At those words, Eri made a dumbfounded expression.

I didn’t really like that Kogoro was shifting the responsibility, but since I was thinking the same thing, I didn’t really say anything about it.

Conan next to us also looked like he was about to cry.

Because my fortune was gradually becoming reality, he seemed to be having a very hard time psychologically.

"Both of you, please calm down."

When I tried to calm them down, Eri said to me.

"Jin. I’ll take care of Ran’s tuition, so you can just ignore what he said."

"No. I was thinking the same thing. I have to take responsibility for my wife’s tuition."

"Haa... If only that man resembled Jin even half..."

Ran quickly prepared the meal before the atmosphere got worse.

It was sukiyaki again this time, but like kimchi-jjigae, it never got boring no matter when you ate it.

The next day, Kogoro contacted me and asked to go out on the yacht.

It seemed he was a bit burdened to drive it alone since he had just gotten his license.

So I said okay and drove the Mustang for a drive.

"Oh! This is a Mustang Fastback Eleanor! How did you get it?"

Kogoro also seemed to be very interested in old cars and recognized it at a glance.

"The owner who collects old cars said he urgently needed money, so he was selling it. So I bought it right away."

"Really? It looks like a brand new car. And seeing that the electronic equipment is also appropriately customized, you bought a good one."

It was a natural result since I had restored it with the ability and then customized it to the extent that it didn’t harm the sensibility.[Restoration]

Vroom!

"Kuh... The V8 engine sound is killer! Son-in-law, can I drive it later?"

"You can drive it on the way back."

"Really? Okay."

Ran said in a worried voice when Kogoro showed interest in the car as well.

"Dad, you can’t have the car."

"Don’t worry. I won’t be greedy for the car."

The yacht was in better condition than I thought.

It looked clean, as if Kogoro occasionally came to clean it, so it seemed he didn’t clean the house but did maintain the yacht.

We organized the luggage we brought and took the yacht for a spin around Tokyo Bay and then came back.

This time too, I explained everything one by one and taught him well.

Because it would be a big problem if there was an accident when he had no money.

"You have to always be careful when leaving and entering the marina, because that’s when accidents happen the most."

"Phew... I got it. But to catch large fish, I guess I have to go out of Tokyo Bay, right?"

"That’s true. There are a lot of boats passing by. But you can catch a lot of large fish even if you just go to Sagami Bay, so you don’t have to go too far recklessly."

"Hmm... I see."

He wanted to catch a large fish like that, so I had thought about casting luck on him, but I couldn’t easily do it because I was afraid he would become even more obsessed with fishing.

At a time when he had to work hard to earn money because he overdid it buying the yacht, if he became obsessed with fishing too, it could really become a hopeless situation.

We had a meal at a nearby restaurant and then returned to the office.

As promised, I let Kogoro drive the Mustang on the way back, but he didn’t speed that much.

It seemed he was being careful because it was a vehicle worth hundreds of millions.

But when we were returning to the office, I saw a coin-sized patch on the back of Conan’s head.

It didn’t seem to be there originally, but it suddenly appeared, so I checked and it was alopecia areata.

"Hey, you have alopecia areata on the back of your head."

"What, what did you say?!"

At those words, Ran also hurriedly grabbed Conan’s head and checked.

"Oh my, it’s true! Why did this happen? Jin, we have to take Conan to the hospital right away."

Since Ran said that, we went out again, got in the car, and moved to the hospital where the dermatology department was.

"Hmm... It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with his health... Is there something that causes the child to be under a lot of stress at home or something?"

"I’m not sure. He’s not my child, so... Conan, was there a problem at home?"

I knew the reason but couldn’t say it.

Because it was obviously related to Ran and the detective disease.

Of course, Conan couldn’t say anything either.

"..."

"Seeing that you can’t talk, there must be some problem. For today, I’ll give you a shot, so come back tomorrow with your parents."

"Yes..."

After that, I didn’t see Conan for a few days.

According to Ran, she saw him walking with Yukiko while shopping and arguing, but the atmosphere seemed unusual so she couldn’t talk to him.

Then after a long time, Conan was at the office.

The problem was that his alopecia areata had gotten bigger, not healed.

Conan was wearing a hat to cover it, but I could check it with [Naked Eye].

"Did the hospital say anything?"

Ran asked Conan because she was worried.

"The doctor said I’m getting better, so you don’t have to worry, sis."

"Really? That’s a relief."

Since Conan said that, Ran seemed to just let it go.

The next day, there was news that a large-scale parade was being held in Tokyo.

It was said that the pro soccer team Tokyo Spirits had won the championship.

It showed how much Japanese people like soccer, to the extent that they would hold a parade just because a pro soccer team won, not a national game.

But unfortunately, I couldn’t go see it because of school.

But when I walked Ran home and came back and watched the news, it said there was a bomb terror in the city center.

It was said that the criminals caused an explosion to divert the police’s attention to rob the post office.

Fortunately, seeing that the criminals were caught, it seemed the Detective Boys were active and solved this case well too.

’A bomb terror... What a fantastic worldview.’

But the next day, something interesting happened.

Someone brought five drums that looked suspicious to anyone and loaded them onto a car and brought them to school, saying they were preparing for a table tennis tournament, and when I checked with [Naked Eye], I saw that there were bombs inside those drums.

I immediately went down and stopped them from moving the drums.

"Hey! Stop!"

"Student, what are you doing? This is to prepare for the tournament... Huh... Onmyoji Jin???"

"If you know me, this will be quick. What were you trying to do by bringing such heinous things to school?"

"Damn it!!!"

When I said that, the criminal quickly tried to run away, but I quickly approached, tripped him, and then bent his arm to subdue him.

Thud!

"Kyaaak!!!"

The students nearby gathered due to the commotion, so I told them to contact the police right away.

Then soon after, Inspector Megure Juzo and Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru came hurriedly with police officers.

"What happened here?"

"Please check that drum right away. Judging by the black aura swirling around it, it doesn’t look normal."

"Is, is that so?"

At those words, Juzo had the police officers check the drum.

Then, after confirming that there was a bomb inside, they hurriedly called the bomb squad to dismantle and collect the bombs, and the criminal was immediately taken to the police station.

It had only been a day since the bomb terror, and another bomb terror was about to happen.

"This is... The culprit is the one who committed the bomb terror 3 years ago. The guy is unlucky, to target a school where you happen to be."

"That’s right."

"We should at least give you a plaque of appreciation."

But at that time, Sato Miwako came hurriedly and said to Juzo.

"Inspector Megure, it’s a big problem! According to the criminal, this isn’t all the bombs!"

"What, what?! There’s more bombs?! Where are they located?!"

"Well... No matter how much we interrogate him, the criminal won’t open his mouth."

"My goodness..."

Juzo asked me urgently.

"You’ll have to help us."

"I’m still in class... Well, it can’t be helped. Instead, I trust you will speak well to my teacher."

Since this involved a bomb, I had no choice but to help the police.

I was riding in a police car to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In the police car I was riding, besides Juzo, Wataru and Miwako were also riding together.

"Oh ho... This is interesting..."

When I said that from the back seat, Miwako asked.

"Jin, what do you mean is interesting?"

"Detective Takagi Wataru and Detective Sato Miwako are connected by the bond of husband and wife."

"What, what did you say!!!???"

Screech!

At those words, Wataru was so flustered that he turned the steering wheel, and it almost led to a big accident.

"My goodness, be careful, Takagi."

"Ah, I’m sorry. I was so surprised that I..."

At that time, I added one more thing.

"It looks like you’ll live being caught by your wife. Detective Sato’s energy is too strong. You’re going to have a hard time."

"Cough!"

Screech!

In the end, we couldn’t go any further and stopped.

It seemed to be quite shocking news to them.

"You! Be careful! Come out, I’ll drive."

"So, sorry, Inspector..."

We changed drivers like that and continued to move.

The funny thing was that because I said that, Miwako and Wataru had red faces and couldn’t even make eye contact.

Then Wataru broke the silence and quietly asked me.

"Hey, Jin... When will I be able to get married?"

"I think it will be within 2 years."

"What, what?! That soon..."

"Hmm... I didn’t do a detailed fortune telling, so I can’t guarantee it, but it seems Detective Sato will hurry a bit. I think it might be because she hears at the hospital that it could be dangerous to have a second child after she turns thirty. If you don’t mind me asking, Detective Sato, how old are you this year?"

"Well... I’m twenty-eight..."

"As expected, the saying within 2 years is correct."

At those words, Juzo also made a very surprised expression.

"This is really amazing news! There will soon be a couple in the company."
