Chapter 850 Evenly matched opponents
I, Martin the Great, have experienced countless ups and downs in my life. I have tread on thorns and endured countless hardships in this world.
Even if Xiaolan is eyeing me covetously in front of me and the uncle is sharpening his knife behind me, I can come and go freely.
Death is like the wind, always by my side!
Even Conan, who was watching the battle, admitted that it was the first time he saw his father jumping up and down so flexibly. Facing the joint pursuit of Xiaolan and Uncle Kogoro, he was still able to deal with them with ease, causing Xiaolan to accidentally injure Uncle Kogoro repeatedly.
If it wasn't that his father had hidden strength that had never been shown, then it was that Martin's own fighting ability had yet to be tapped.
Wow, he hit his uncle again. Could it be that Xiaolan has given up hope?
……
"Hmph, the corner of my clothes is slightly dirty." Facing Kudo Yusaku's face, Martin walked out of the Mori family with an indifferent expression.
Conan, who came out with him, looked at the dark circles under the eyes on his face, which was the same as his father's, and chuckled without saying a word.
Martin left the Maori Detective Agency, and Conan followed him. Conan mainly wanted to discuss something with the doctor.
After a long silence, Conan could not help but speak first when he saw the door of Dr. Agasa's house and Martin had not yet broken the silence: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Are you pretending to be someone else's dad so that nothing happened?
"Emm..." Martin hesitated for a while, then said uncertainly: "I'm Your Father?"
“That’s not right!”
"Emmmmmm..." Martin hesitated for a long time, then said tentatively: "I set up call forwarding on my phone. If you call me, your call will actually be forwarded to Xiaoai's phone. If the person on the phone cheated you, it was Xiaoai who cheated you, not me."
"Who cares about that kind of thing..."
"So do you have anything to say to your dad?" Martin suddenly took the initiative and asked, pointing at his own face.
"I..." Conan rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw Martin's steps had passed the gate of Dr. Agasa's house and continued to move forward: "Where are you going?"
"Go home." Martin pointed at the Kudo residence in front of him and said with a wild smile: "As the owner of the house, stop lending the house to my cousin and kick him out!"
"Martin doesn't seem to know that my parents are at home..." Conan sighed tiredly, put aside his plan to go to Professor Agasa to discuss things, and followed Martin all the way to his home.
Pushing open the gate, Yousuo Martin's steps were even more unconcerned. He walked like a duck, swaggered to the door, then rang the doorbell and waited for his cousin to open the door.
The door opened quickly, but the person standing inside was not my eldest cousin.
"My dear, you're back." Kudo Yukiko smiled and greeted me. Her eyes were full of charm. The playfulness of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman were blended together on her face without any trace of time. "Do you want to eat first or take a shower first?"
Conan: Damn it, my mom is playing tricks on me.
Martin, who had the face of Kudo Yusaku, suddenly looked sharp behind his glasses, as if he was making a very important decision.
He lowered his hand, touched Conan's head lovingly, and then said to Kudo Yukiko: "Go take a shower first, I'll come up after I put the child to sleep."
Conan: What are you doing!?
"Don't be impatient." With Kudo Yukiko's acting skills, it is impossible to tell that she is playing. It is as if Kudo Yusaku has really gone out and just returned home, and she is a wife welcoming her husband, gently helping her husband untie his tie, just like a loving couple.
However, after Kudo Yukiko grabbed Yusaku Martin's tie, she pulled it hard with her hand and suddenly changed her expression: "Dear, Xiaoxin said that he saw you teasing young girls. Isn't it time for you to give me an explanation?"
Conan: So this is where the story begins? And is there a role for me?
After all, Kudo Yusaku is Kudo Shinichi's father, and he has a top IQ. Before Yukiko attacked him, he quickly understood the current situation and came to the conclusion that Martin became who he is today - Conan had already told them about Martin's existence and abilities.
Unlike Martin, a child with chaotic behavior, as an independent adult, Kudo Yukiko is not just playing here. Her script follows the call from Conan because of Martin's behavior, which means that the consequences of Martin's behavior are magnified and he has to bear them himself. While acting and playing, she can also settle accounts with Martin.
At this time, upstairs in Kudo's house, the real Kudo Yusaku and Okiya Subaru were hiding upstairs, peeking to see how Kudo Yukiko performed the "old veteran suppressing the little brat" performance.
On the field, with the tightened tie strangling his neck, he felt so tight that he couldn't breathe. Yusaku Martin didn't struggle, but slowly raised his hands, then wrapped Kudo Yukiko's hands holding the tie in his warm palms, one up and one down, looking at Kudo Yukiko with a firm look as if he wanted to join the Young Pioneers: "Baby, a young and lovely girl, isn't she right in front of me?"
Yusaku Kudo, who was watching the show upstairs, had a subtle expression.
"Unqualified!" Kudo Yukiko gave a low score without hesitation, looking dissatisfied: "I don't feel like I'm being teased recently."
"No? Shouldn't it be?" Yusaku Martin said affectionately: "When the child can't see, I will tease you."
"Don't just make empty promises, dear." Yukiko Kudo still didn't let him go, her eyes becoming more terrifying: "Tell me the truth, on September 22 last year, the first Sunday after the Moon Viewing Festival, which vixen did you go out with?"
"..." Kudo Yusaku upstairs felt something was wrong. Yukiko reported this time without thinking. On that day, he seemed to... God knows! He didn't do anything to let Yukiko down. He just went to meet his fans. He didn't report it because he was afraid that Yukiko would think too much.
I didn't expect Yukiko to find out, and she still feels bad about it - it's okay! I'll explain it to you after it's over!
Martin said calmly: "Baby, I'm just meeting my fans as a writer."
How did he know? Didn't Shinichi say that Martin's transformation didn't have the memory of the person he transformed into? Did he guess it? Oh no, won't it sound like an excuse when I explain it later?
"Again - fans." Kudo Yukiko's expression changed to a fake smile: "You really have a lot of fans, Mr. Writer."
Kudo Yusaku: Again? Has this happened many times? Although it is definitely not the first time I have met fans... the script! This part must have been added by Yukiko on the spot!
"Of course, I'm a well-known mystery writer." Yusaku Martin was humble but proud, just like the real Kudo Yusaku. But then he opened his hands and said, "All the young girls who love literature are my fans!"
Kudo Yusaku: Maru is spicy!
Yukiko had already let go of the other person's tie, and was folding her arms, raising her eyebrows, and pouting her lips, looking at Martin leisurely. Her expression seemed to be wondering whether the real Kudo Yusaku would have the same idea.
"Baby, I'm just playing around with them! I truly love you!" Yusaku Martin's expression became increasingly outrageous.
"True love? How much love do you have? Is it intermittent true love, or is it just a constant flirtation?" Yukiko turned around angrily: "Think about it, how long has it been since you last touched me?"
Kudo Yusaku:…
He finally understood that Yukiko's performance was all taken over by Martin. Obviously, he could not teach the young man a lesson in this way. However, his wife Yukiko had always been unwilling to suffer any loss. This scene could not teach Martin a lesson, so she turned around and started to beat her husband.
It seemed like she was trying to embarrass Martin, but in fact, she was saying it all to him, especially the last sentence, which was very clear - it was time to hand in the homework. We hadn't done this homework for a while, but there was someone else in the house, wasn't there? And this person was not ordinary, an ace FBI agent with sharp eyes and ears. How embarrassing it would be if he noticed it!
Downstairs, Yusaku Martin's face also showed an awkward look. He turned his head and slowly walked to the window, looking out with a melancholy look on his face. He leaned back slightly, with one hand on his waist: "Kidney deficiency, sometimes after overwork. Waist and leg pain, lack of energy, as if the body is hollowed out."
When Yukiko heard this, the discontent on her face disappeared, and she turned to concern for her husband's health. She walked forward and put her hand on the back of his hand: "Is your kidney overdrawn?"
Yusaku Martin looked out the window, looking up at a 45-degree angle, "I'm afraid I can no longer give her stable happiness."
Yukiko: "Want to replenish your overdrawn kidneys? Try Shenbao tablets?"
Yusaku Martin turned around and faced the audience: "Shenbao Tablets, 88 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine, strong kidney tonic, pull up the seedlings to help them grow! Grind the kidneys like leeks."
Yukiko also turned to the audience: "A bottle of refreshing."
Martin: "Two bottles never tire."
All: "Three bottles of immortality, oh yeah!"
Yusaku Martin came closer, stretched out his hand and made a half heart shape in front of him: "Shenbao tablets, it will definitely replenish the kidneys."
Yukiko also came closer, raised her arms above her head and bent them into a semi-circle above her head: "He's fine, so am I."
Conan as a viewer: …
Am I also a part of your Play?
Upstairs, Okiya Subaru turned his head and looked at Kudo Yusaku with subtle eyes.
Is Shenbao also part of your play?
Kudo Yusaku sighed and turned back to the study.
He couldn't settle this matter without sacrificing half his life. Of course, he didn't need Shenbao now, but he would probably need it after he settled this matter.
Downstairs, Martin took out his cell phone and took a photo with Yukiko Kudo.
Just as Conan was thinking about how to get the two people who were getting closer and closer to each other to stop and separate, they started arguing with each other again. It turned out that Yukiko asked to beautify the photo, while Martin insisted that the photo must be original.
Then, when Conan was hesitating and didn't want to intervene, someone came to the door of Kudo's house and asked, "Excuse me, is there a Mr. Martin here?"
Conan turned around and found it was a courier: "Here is a package for him."
"Here." Martin walked forward, signed for the package, and muttered, "I knew it would be sent here."
After all, he became Kudo Yusaku today, and the address on his ID card was also changed here.
So a big part of the reason why Martin ran to Kudo's house was to wait for the express delivery.
"Your mail?" Conan was curious: "Is it online mail order?"
Yukiko stopped arguing about the beautification of the photo and just watched curiously from the side.
The express carton in Martin's hand was very neat and square. The box was new, and there was no sign of damage on the sharp corners. It was hard to believe that it was delivered to Martin through the modern logistics network where dropping and knocking packages has become the norm.
Compared with ordinary cartons, the color of this carton is lighter. In addition to the express delivery note, the top surface spans the left and right lids and has a copper coin-shaped indentation pattern with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.
Conan took a look at the express delivery slip, but found that only the recipient information had Martin's name and his home address, while the sender's information was a blurry garbled code.
"This is something my father sent." Martin said simply, putting the box down on the coffee table in Kudo's house. After peeling off the express note, he lightly peeled off the copper coin pattern.
"Your father...wasn't that sent from another world?"
Conan subconsciously looked out the window: Could that ordinary courier just now be an alien?
"Or so they say. Money can make anything possible. As long as the money is there, you don't have to worry about how it was delivered."
Martin opened the express package. On the top was a letter from home, below was a photo album, and there were some small items like travel souvenirs. Those were indeed souvenirs that his family brought for Martin when they went out for fun.
"Your eyeballs are about to fall out of it." Martin joked to Conan casually, then pushed the box and said, "Just look through it."
Martin used the things in the box to divert the attention of Kudo and his mother and picked up the letter.
...Just as he expected, the letter said that his sister Ma Wu had developed superpowers that could modify surrounding parameters at will and lost control, almost hurting herself. The danger level was no longer something that could be solved by donating a few more buildings to the school. Ma Jia suggested sending Ma Wu to Martin's care, and Ma's father wrote a letter to ask Martin's opinion. If Martin was unwilling, Dad had a backup plan.
Martin picked up a pen and wrote his reply on the back of the letter. Then he folded the letter diagonally and pieced together the two halves of the copper coin pattern on the back of the letter. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Let's go." Then he sent the letter home.
On the other side, Conan discovered that the small gifts in the box were really ordinary things, and the photo album seemed to contain photos of Martin when he was a child.
"I take photos of 99% of my transformations, but these are the ones I kept at home when I was a kid." Seeing Conan's puzzled look, Martin explained, "After all, the days of random transformations are over today. I can sort out all my photos and scan them into an electronic album for archiving."
"What is this?" Yukiko was holding a thin object in her hand, which seemed to be a few cards wrapped in black translucent plastic film.
"It's a recent photo of my family. Because my mother is in it, I wrapped it up to prevent it from being seen by others." Martin took it over: "Most intelligent beings will be controlled for a few minutes when they see the photo. So my father always wants me to carry a photo of my mother with me. When I encounter troubles that I can't solve, I can show my mother's photo to ward off evil."
Conan twitched his lips: "If my dad said this, he would die a miserable death."
Then Conan shuddered because Yukiko was looking down at him with a very dissatisfied look.
Afterwards, Martin returned to the next door with the package, and Conan also ran over to ask Dr. Agasa to make a new invention to deal with Bourbon.
Then when Conan entered the door, he saw Mira and Haibara Ai... After all, the one who said that he had become a superman was not Martin but Haibara Ai who was reading the lines with a voice changer, so Mira was naturally not sent home.
Martin took out his other photo albums, and spent the rest of the day organizing the photos with the help of Mira, Haibara Ai and Miyano Akemi, until night fell and a new day arrived.
