Chapter 35 Kudo Shinnosuke

"Tell me, where did you keep Dr. Agasa?"

"You're not going to tell me, right? Have you heard of the eight tortures of the Qing Dynasty? Blood Eagle, Bamboo Torture, Water Torture, Rat Torture, Spanish Donkey, Catherine Wheel, Nail Torture, Iron Lady, or Bronze Bull. Choose one."

Dr. Agasa was still sleeping, and Tanigawa was pointing a gun at the Kudo couple's heads, looking extremely arrogant.

"Tanigawa, are you still covering their mouths?" Conan tugged at Tanigawa's clothes.

"Of course I know. This is to scare them. Have you forgotten that when we interrogated Kameda before, he confessed immediately after being scared?" Tanigawa said.

Conan nodded, not quite understanding.

It turns out that Tanigawa has his reasons for doing things.

Yusaku Kudo kept hesitating and trying to spit out the cloth in his mouth, but the reaction was so violent that he felt nauseous.

Kudo Yukiko was also in tears and was shaking her chair frantically.

"Very good, I like criminals like you who like to move around." Tanigawa walked towards Kudo Yukiko and gave Conan a look that said 'don't disturb me'.

Conan admitted that he was indeed not as good as Tanigawa in interrogation, so he just watched Tanigawa's actions obediently.

Conan watched Tanigawa untie the woman's rope, but he didn't react. Tanigawa must have a reason for doing this.

Conan watched as Tanigawa began to take off the woman's clothes. He didn't...

"Tanigawa! What are you doing!?"

Conan quickly ran up and grabbed Tanigawa.

"Tanigawa, don't be impulsive and do stupid things!" Conan felt that Tanigawa was sick, otherwise he wouldn't be so unrestrained in his diet.

Yukiko Kudo was also scared, as if she was about to enter the plot of a small movie.

"Conan, let go. I, Tanigawa, abide by the law and will never do anything stupid." Tanigawa speechlessly picked up Conan, then tore off the mask on Kudo Yukiko's face with one hand.

Conan was stunned looking at the familiar face.

"I just think her body is uncoordinated and I feel like she is just disguising her figure." Tanigawa also pulled open Kudo Yukiko's coat, and her bloated figure became slim and graceful.

"Mom!?"

"Hey, Conan."

Yukiko Kudo gave an awkward smile. This scene of encounter was not very pleasant.

Conan ran over and took off Kudo Yusaku's mask.

"Dad!"

"Shinichi, I didn't expect to meet you in this way." After the cloth in his mouth was taken off, Kudo Yusaku faced Conan calmly, "Untie the rope on me first."

Conan tried to untie it.

"Wait!" Tanigawa picked up Conan again and handed him to Kudo Yukiko's arms.

"I have something to say to Mr. Kudo Yusaku."

"You can talk to me after you untie the rope for me," said Kudo Yusaku.

Facing this somewhat crazy Tanigawa, Kudo Yusaku felt a little afraid.

"That's it." Tanigawa didn't give Kudo Yusaku any chance to bargain.

Conan's expression was a little complicated. It seemed that Tanigawa had a lot of dissatisfaction with his father.

“Why haven’t you written a new novel yet?”

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just a reader who asked for updates.

"I have started a new book. My current outfit resembles the 'Night Baron' in the book." Kudo Yusaku said, doubting that Tanigawa was a fan of his book.

"Really?" Tanigawa nodded in surprise. "Then why don't you update it soon!"

"I have no inspiration." said Kudo Yusaku.

"If a writer doesn't have inspiration, he won't write. So will a female bodhisattva not receive guests if she doesn't have desire?"

How vulgar, comparing the writer with..., Kudo Yusaku felt that he was no longer clean. And he suspected that Tanigawa was not a fan of his books at all, he just wanted to find a reason to beat him up.

With his father's pleading look, Conan untied the rope on Kudo Yusaku, and the four of them sat on the sofa in some awkwardness.

The Kudo couple felt ashamed and embarrassed to be captured by their own son, Conan felt embarrassed because he kidnapped his own parents, and Tanigawa was embarrassed with them.

"Um, when did you return to Japan?" Conan spoke first.

"Yesterday." said Kudo Yukiko.

"Cough cough."

Kudo Yusaku coughed and stood up.

"We found you were not at home after we returned to Japan. We heard from Professor Agasa that you had become smaller, so we held this event to test your reasoning ability. As a result, you, such an outstanding child, found the clues and followed them here, and also made such an 'awesome' friend."

"I really thought he was from that organization." Conan crossed his arms in dissatisfaction and turned his head away.

"Shinichi, do you want to leave this dangerous country with us and live abroad?" asked Kudo Yusaku.

"I have a friend in the United Nations Police Department. We can ask him to help us investigate. I believe we will be able to get the medicine soon, and your body will return to normal."

"No!" Conan decisively rejected Kudo Yusaku.

"This is my own business, I have to solve it myself!"

"You solve it yourself? This time we are just pretending to be that organization. If that organization really comes, what will you do? With your temper, you will be noticed by the people of that organization sooner or later." Kudo Yusaku advised.

"What! I'm no longer as reckless and attention-seeking as before." Conan said unconvinced.

"Really? 'The Sleeping Elementary School Detective - Edogawa Conan'."

"That!" Conan tried to explain fiercely, but Kudo Yusaku didn't listen at all, so he had to look to Tanigawa for help.

You helped me figure this out, please help me explain it!
Tanigawa silently took care of Professor Agasa who was still sleeping and had no intention of intervening in Conan's family affairs.

"Well," Tanigawa stood up.

"I won't get involved in your family affairs. My sister called me home for dinner."

Ignoring Conan's attempts to keep him, Tanigawa just slipped away.

He was not worried at all that Conan would leave Japan, so how could he, Kudo Shinnosuke, bear to leave Xiaolan?

After leaving the Rice Flower Hotel, Tanigawa took a taxi and left.

……

"I live very well in Japan and don't want to leave here to live in a strange place!"

While Conan was still arguing with his parents, he suddenly glanced at the email on his phone.

[Tanigawa: I don't know whose car I borrowed for you to drive here, so remember to return it. Remember to pay for the door of the room, and Dr. Agasa's house needs to be cleaned up. The bullet marks from my shooting in the hotel room need to be cleaned up, and the gunshot may cause someone to call the police, so help me deal with the police. And...]

Didn’t you say you borrowed that car from a friend?

Conan read the emails on his mobile phone line by line, and his blood pressure gradually rose.

He suddenly felt that it would be nice to go to a place without Tanigawa.

　I will try it out next week. I hope all the readers can turn to the last page and click to read more.
