Chapter 264 Yukiko, Awkward First Meeting

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Tokyo's bright night has just begun. At least, when leaving Shinjuku, the bustling commercial district is brightly lit, like a sleepless night.

If it weren't for Shimizu Koji's handsome appearance, the girls waiting on the roadside might have the courage to come forward and introduce themselves.

Beihua Town, Kudo House.

This street is as dim as ever. There is only one street lamp every ten meters, and the pale and weak fluorescence is even worse than nothing.

The cold wind seems to indicate that the weather is about to turn cold. The fallen leaves are drifting, and the wind is moving on the ground, making a rustling sound, adding a terrifying and gloomy atmosphere to this quiet street.

With the excuse, a taxi slowly stopped, and then, with a bang, a heavy door closing sounded. If it weren't for the fact that several thousand yuan bills were flying in front of him, the taxi driver would definitely grumble a few words, and even people with bad tempers might even curse and cause conflicts.

Carrying a suitcase and wearing a large windbreaker, Yukiko Kudo stood at the street corner and stared at the taxi behind her, leaving her alone.

Rare long curly hair is a rather rare hairstyle that ordinary women can never control, but on her, it makes a woman who is already in her thirties and whose children are already high school students look a bit playful and cute.

If she changes into a school uniform, apart from the grandeur of her chest, I am afraid that even if she says she is a high school girl, some people will believe it.

From a distance, looking at the lighted Kudo house, Yukiko Kudo was stunned for a while, and then suddenly seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Shinichi said last time that he rented the house to one of his juniors."

The cold face like the cold winter in December broke the ice instantly, and Yukiko Kudo's expression became visibly tangled and headache. She was only angry and completely forgot about it.

But it's already 11 o'clock in the evening. It's too dangerous to walk out and take a taxi. Although the public security in Japan is better than that in the United States, there is no difference between the two at night.

After frowning and struggling for a while, the wheels of the suitcase began to roll. Kudo Yukiko walked towards her home with a firm step. Yes, this is her home. There are so many rooms in the house, how can there be no place for her?

Moreover, she really wanted to meet this tenant by the way. In fact, Conan didn't say much to her and Kudo Yusaku. He just said that a junior who had a good relationship with him was homeless, so he rented the house to him on his own.

Anyway, the Kudo couple has settled in the United States and will not return to China. Naturally, they have no objection to Conan's decision.

"Ding Dong--"

The doorbell rang, and Huiyuan Ai, who was reading a magazine on the sofa in the living room, was stunned when she heard the sound.

Shimizu Koji just called her, and it would take more than ten minutes, and Shimizu Koji would not knock on the door when he came home.

She became alert instantly.

The organization, no, it's impossible. There's absolutely no reason for the organization to be here. The organization has already searched Kudo Shinichi's house thoroughly, not just the two times she came.

Moreover, if it was the organization, they would never choose to ring the doorbell when they saw the lights on in the house.

Breaking in? Robbers? Thieves?

And other guesses flashed through Huiyuan Ai's mind, and without giving her time to think, the doorbell rang again.

At the door, Kudo Yukiko simply tidied her clothes. She heard footsteps in the house and her face began to change.

Serious, indifferent, smiling, she pouted, as if she was struggling with something again.

However, when the door slowly opened and a ray of light was revealed, Kudo Yukiko instantly restrained her expression, became elegant and dignified, with a faint smile, looking forward, and then, she saw nothing.

"Eh?"

"Oh, who are you?"

Ai Haibara was like a shy little girl. She asked curiously with the door only a crack open, but her eyes kept looking around Kudo Yukiko, especially the suitcase in Kudo Yukiko's hand, which made her frown subconsciously.

When Yukiko saw Ai Haibara, her mental preparation was instantly disrupted.

Where did this little girl come from?

She quickly put on a friendly smile and bent down to greet Ai Haibara.

"Oh, oh."

"I am Kudo Yukiko"

Yukiko was very enthusiastic and talked a lot, but Ai Haibara only remembered her self-introduction at the beginning.

It turned out that this was not the woman that Shimizu Koji had provoked outside.

Her doubts and defenses were instantly dispelled, and she opened the door completely without saying a word.

Ten minutes later

In the living room, only Huihara Ai was left. She had to wait for Shimizu Koji, and after saying hello to her, Kudo Yukiko went upstairs to put her luggage and clean up the room.

Well, maybe, she will probably call Conan to ask about them. I hope that guy doesn't say anything nonsense.

When Huihara Ai thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but have a hint of "murderous intent".

"I'm back~."

The lights were on at home, which was normal. Shimizu Koji gave Huihara Ai a key before leaving.

So it was rare that he had to say hello when he came home, which was a rather novel experience.

After changing into slippers in the entrance hall and hearing the sound of footsteps, Shimizu Koji turned around and saw Huihara Ai walking out of the living room in slippers.

When Ai Huihara saw that Shimizu Koji was somewhat happy, she could not help but be stunned, a little puzzled. She did not know what Shimizu Koji was doing, and Shimizu Koji was happy, just pure happiness, and there was no other reason.

If you have to say, this operation was very successful, and there were people waiting for her to go home at home, which was indeed worth being happy about.

"Sorry for the long wait~."

"Hmm, huh?!"

As soon as Ai Huihara nodded in response, Shimizu Koji actually walked directly in front of her. She felt bad instantly, but there was no chance to escape.

"No, don't, there is - umm."

"Miss Huihara, is it -?!!!"

Five minutes later, in the living room.

Ai Huihara's face was still red with shame. She wanted to be angry, but she couldn't be angry because there were outsiders.

Shimizu Koji sat on the sofa next to her, with a subtle and awkward expression.

Across from them, Kudo Yukiko was also in a subtle awkwardness. Everything was left unsaid. No one spoke first, and this subtle silence could not be broken.

"Well, you two have a pretty good relationship. Shinichi has already told me about Miss Huibara's life story. Um. It's normal, hehe."
