Chapter 584 Yusaku's Novel

"What do you want to talk to me about, little boy?" Yukiko asked with a smile.

"Don't pretend." Conan showed a confident smile and said calmly: "No matter how well you hide, you can't escape my eyes."

"Tell me who you are." Conan's tone was full of smugness, and he grinned and said in a mocking tone: "Old aunt."

When Yukiko heard Conan addressing her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling, but she exuded a dangerous aura.

"...So you saw through me after all."

After half a second, Yukiko restrained her murderous aura and took off her sunglasses helplessly.

"You're amazing, Shinichi." Yukiko praised happily, "You're worthy of being my son."

"Heh." Conan didn't show any surprise on his face. He silently rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "If you disguised yourself as someone else, I might not recognize you."

"But do you think you can fool me just by changing your lipstick and hairstyle and wearing sunglasses?"

"Please, even though I wear glasses, I'm not blind." Conan was speechless.

"Really?" Yukiko shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "It took me a lot of effort to put my long hair up into a short style. I didn't expect that you could see through it so easily."

"Tell me, why did you go to so much trouble to sneak into this train? " Conan looked at his unreliable mother helplessly.

"Come on, I'm a big star." Yukiko said as a matter of course: "Of course I have to pretend, otherwise I will be surrounded by fans."

"This happened hundreds of years ago." Conan said with a sarcastic look on his face, directly exposing this cruel fact.

Yukiko was indeed a big star back then, but she has retired for so long that her popularity has long since disappeared.

An out-of-date star would hardly be recognized even if he walked on the street.

"Shinichi, you're so nagging." Yukiko felt a little embarrassed when her own son exposed her.

Just at this moment, a gentle voice came, breaking the quarrel between mother and son.

"Yukiko, you are here for the novel Yusaku wrote, right?"

At some point, Ze Yu appeared in the corridor. He leaned against the wall of the train with a smile as faint as autumn water on his face.

Conan and Yukiko have long been accustomed to Ze Yu's sudden appearances. This guy always appears inexplicably without any warning.

"Yes." Yukiko nodded and said frankly: "When we were in the United States, we saw a report from an island country."

"It was about a jewelry store robbery. After seeing the report, we felt that this case was almost identical to the novel Yusaku had written before."

"The novel that Yusaku wrote before was never published, and the manuscript was later stolen."

"We suspect that the people who got the manuscripts are deliberately planning something in real life according to the plot in the novel."

"So we rushed back from abroad and called the owner of the jewelry store to ask him if he would board the train in the near future."

"Because the boss in the novel was killed on the train."

"At the time, we didn't get an accurate answer, but now it seems that he has really boarded this train."

Speaking of this, Yukiko felt helpless.

"Since you knew that the jewelry store owner would be killed on the train, why didn't you stop it?" Conan said seriously. Because he was too anxious, there was even a hint of questioning in his tone.

Yukiko felt very aggrieved after being scolded by her own child. She said innocently: "I didn't expect that the murderer would suddenly attack the jewelry store owner while I was in the toilet."

"Actually, I also know about this matter." Ze Yu suddenly said, "But I didn't do anything to stop it."

"That man deserved to die." Ze Yu's tone was calm and without any waves. He said quietly: "Although I won't kill him, don't expect me to save him."

"All I can do is watch."

"..." Conan was silent for a while, looking at Ze Yu helplessly.

Of course he knew Ze Yu's character.

If he meets someone who should be saved, Ze Yu will naturally rescue him, but if some people who, in Ze Yu's eyes, should not be saved are hurt, he will not stop them.

Even Conan has no reason to blame Ze Yu, because it is Ze Yu's own freedom to decide whether to save people or not.

Conan has no right to interfere.

He can control his own mother, but he can't control Ze Yu, nor does he dare to do so.

"The person is already dead. There is no point in arguing. Let's just ignore this topic." Conan said helplessly: "Mom, where is the author who wrote this novel that specifically causes trouble for others now?"

"Your father has arrived at the station." Yukiko replied, "He is waiting for us there."

"Because the jewelry store clerk refused to tell us which train their boss would take, Yusaku and I had to separate and take different buses to ensure that we would meet the jewelry store manager."

"In the end, we did meet." Yukiko sighed, "But you also know that he is gone now."

"So, as the author of the novel, did Dad tell you how the murderer committed the crime?" Conan asked speechlessly.

"Um..." Yukiko suddenly felt a little embarrassed and stammered, "Your father has forgotten the murderer's method of committing the crime."

"What?!" Conan was shocked and said in disbelief, "How could you forget this?"

"After all, that novel was written ten years ago, and it was stolen just halfway through." Yukiko was also helpless: "It's normal that Yusaku doesn't remember it."

"I do know something about this incident." Ze Yu said, "Back then, Yusaku gave the manuscript to someone in the editorial department for safekeeping, but it was later stolen by robbers."

"The robber gang back then was composed of three people acting together. The leader was the one who just died today, Asama Yasuji."

"Later, one of the three robbers died of poisoning, and the other two companions retired."

"Izumo Keitaro was not killed by Asama Yasuji, but by another bandit back then."

"Even Asama Yasuji himself died at the hands of his former companions."

"That means the murderer is still hiding in the car." Ze Yu reminded: "You better be careful."

"Xiao Yu, who is the murderer?" Conan frowned and asked solemnly.

"I don't know." Ze Yu shook his head.

Hearing this, Conan chuckled in his heart.
