Chapter 430: Secrets of the Past

Chapter 430: Secrets of the Past

"Kaoru-chan~ I missed you so much!!!" As soon as I arrived at the empty room next door, Yukiko pounced on me, causing Conan's mouth to twitch.

"Okay, okay, Sister Yukiko, I'm here." I patted Yukiko's back and smiled. "But it's been a long time since I last saw Sister Yukiko."

"That's right." Yukiko rubbed my face while saying this. Then she raised her head and asked my mother.

"Eri, about Xiaoxun..."

"Well, I know a little bit." Tears welled up in the mother's eyes. This was the first time she had been able to find someone to talk to about her child. "Including Conan-kun's affairs, I also know a little bit."

"Ah..." Conan suddenly came to his senses. After all, this was his future mother-in-law.

"Um... Auntie, I'm sorry." Conan bowed hastily, "I've been causing trouble for you and Xiaolan."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mom waved her hands hastily. "Xiaoxun and you are both harmed by the same organization. I know you have your own difficulties. Anyway, until the issue between you and Xiaoxun is resolved, you should temporarily live with uncle. That way you can take care of Xiaoxun."

Seeing his mother say this, Conan was relieved. He almost lost his hiding place.

"So, does Mori know about this?" Since everyone in the room was her family, Yukiko asked directly.

"No, neither he nor Xiaolan knew." Mom reached out and rubbed my head. "In fact, the one who is most sad about Xiaoxun's disappearance is Xiaolan. That child has been clinging to Xiaoxun since she was a child. In addition to that child's personality, if Xiaoxun's story is told to others, maybe Kogoro can accept it, but I can't imagine what Xiaolan will think."

"Indeed, that child..." Yukiko was also full of melancholy. As a parent, she couldn't just sit back and watch her child encounter such a thing, but this matter involved too many things, and even Kudo Yusaku couldn't solve the whole thing perfectly in a short time. She could only drag it on like this and wait for an opportunity.

"Anyway, I'm already satisfied that Xun-chan is able to stay here well."

"Yes, if they hadn't had such an accident, maybe they could have recreated the incident we had that year."

"then?"

"That incident?" Conan and I asked at the same time.

"what?"

"what?"

"Ah, don't you know?" Yukiko looked at us. "It was the famous Miss Teitan competition at Teitan High School 20 years ago."

"Aha?"

"Aha?"

"Hehe, Xun-chan, Xin-chan, let me tell you..."

Over the next ten minutes, with the explanation of Sister Yukiko, I learned the truth of the whole matter. It turned out that twenty years ago, Teitan High School held a beauty pageant that shocked the city, and in the end there were two people with the highest support.

One is Princess Teitan, who shocked the world with her sweet looks, superb acting skills, and her distinctive image when she debuted.

The other is the Queen of Teitan, who passed the Tokyo University entrance examination questionnaire with extraordinary intelligence and was recommended to study abroad at Harvard at the age of 16. She is both talented and beautiful.

The two world-famous people mentioned here are the two mothers in front of us.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of fans who came to the pageant, the contest was terminated before the panic occurred. The total number of 20,001 ballots prepared ended up being tied at 10,000 to 10,000 because one ballot was lost. The beauty pageant thus came to an end.

"It's a pity that the selection didn't end perfectly in the end." Yukiko said with regret. "However, if Kaoru-chan and Arata-chan could attend Teitan High School now, maybe there would be a selection for Teitan Prince and Teitan Knight!"

"Haha, that's true, after all, they inherited our genes." My mother was so excited that her eyes were full of stars. After a while, the two mothers sat together and started chatting, completely ignoring the half-moon eyes that Conan and I squinted at the side.

Although we ignored them, we did not go up to disturb them. Because in our eyes, this is how two mothers should behave. Especially for my mother.

The ten-year disappearance has made this mother cry her eyes out. If she didn't have a daughter by her side, it is really hard to imagine what a mother who lost her child would do.

"Huh... two of them actually started chatting like this." Conan shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Let them chat for a while." I patted Conan's shoulder. "This is a rare opportunity."

"Ah." Conan nodded. "But then again, why do I feel like my mom loves you more than me?"

"Pfft..." I couldn't hold back my laughter. "Are you jealous?"

"No, no way!" Conan grinned. "But since I can remember, before you disappeared, it seemed that you were always very close to my mother. I remember that at that time I once thought that my parents might have picked up the wrong child."

"Haha, there's nothing I can do. Sister Yukiko is like half a mother to me." I laughed.

"Tsk, what do you mean by half mother? Just laugh." Conan sneered. In fact, it is not wrong to say that Yukiko is my half mother. That happened when we were still babies. No one knows except the two mothers present and me who has the memory of reincarnation.

That was not long after Xiaolan and I were born. Our two mothers often held the three of us babies under the same roof and chatted about our aspirations for the future and our upbringing.

At that time, my mother had to take care of both Xiaolan and me, and her job required a high level of concentration, which resulted in her not having enough water to feed us brothers and sisters.

However, as the older brother, I always pretended to cry when feeding, so that Xiaolan would be the first. I would fall behind. This led to my mother not being able to get enough milk. Although I didn't care about this when I was a baby, how could my mother not know my situation? This also made my mother very worried.

Although the problem can be solved with milk, what mother doesn't want her child to eat better?

However, at this time, Sister Yukiko was extremely generous.

"Eri, if you don't mind, let Xiaoxun eat mine."

"Oh, this... this is so embarrassing."

"It's okay, it's okay. I like this child anyway. And I have more than enough. Shin-chan can't eat it all by himself."

"This... then I'll trouble you."

So, I was sent into Yukiko's arms.

"Come on, Xun-chan~ I'll give you a different taste~"

"Eh? Why is this kid turning his head away? Is he unwilling?"

"Oh, you little guy is quite stubborn? Do you recognize food?"

"Hehe~ You little brat, you still want to resist me? Go away~"

"Uh huh..."

So I just gave in. After all, I couldn't go without food forever.

This is how I continued to live until I was weaned. Perhaps it was because of this that the bond between me and the Kudo family was strengthened.

Even though the events of my previous life were completely different in style from those of the Kudo family, this did not prevent us from becoming neighbors, nor did it prevent me and Kudo Shinichi from becoming childhood playmates.

The two mothers chatted for a while, and when they felt that the time was about right, they began to focus on the case again. Yukiko still relied more on Conan, after all, when it came to handling cases, her husband and son were the professionals, while she was more focused on acting.

Seeing this, my mother pulled me aside. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a maid knocking on the door in a hurry and then rushing in.

"Oh no! Something happened to the master!"

"What!?" Several people were shocked at the same time, and then, under the guidance of the maid, they returned to the monitoring room next door. At this time, there were only the housekeeper and the maids in the monitoring room. Su Hua had also returned to her room to rest.

"What happened?" Mom asked the housekeeper.

"Master, master!" The butler pointed at the screen with his eyes wide open.

Following the butler's finger, I saw on the screen that Fujieda Kan'ao had his hands raised high, as if he was threatened.

"Who is pointing a gun at me?"

"No, that's impossible. When I came out of the room, I was sure that the room was locked from the inside." The butler looked shocked.

"Fa, what happened?!" Suhua, who had rushed over from a nearby room, came forward. When she looked at the screen, she saw a shocking scene. At this time, Fujieda Mikio had fallen to the ground while everyone was talking. "Mikio, Mikio has fallen! He was shot!"

"What nonsense..." I frowned and glanced at Su Hua. I had been watching for a long time without moving my eyes away. There was no shooting at all. The old man just stood up and then suddenly fell down. If he was shot, within five seconds, blood would flow all over the floor. How could he not bleed at all like he did now?

"Call the police quickly and call an ambulance!" Everyone ran out when they saw this, but I didn't move. I just sat quietly in front of the monitor.

The old man was not shot at all. It has been nearly three minutes since everyone ran out, and he has not left a drop of blood. How could he be shot? Seeing this, I took out my cell phone from the necklace and prepared to call my mother to tell her the current situation.

However, something interesting happened at this time.

boom!boom!
The two gunshots made my hand that was about to press the call button suddenly stop. I looked at the screen and saw three bloody holes suddenly appearing on Fujieda Kan'o's back. The bright red blood quickly soaked half of the carpet.

"What the hell? What's going on?" I was suddenly confused when looking at the scene in front of me.

"Creating a line of sight gap to kill someone? Isn't this a way for me to catch him red-handed?"
