The next morning.
Tsuneo woke up early and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Porsche emblem on the table.
Ah~ Gin!
Did you sleep well last night?
Your beloved car is really well-maintained!
"Ring ring ring"
"It's not even light yet, who's calling so early?"
Tsuneo looked puzzled, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello hello hello~"
A very pleasant female voice came from the phone, but it was obvious that the other party was trying to sound younger.
"Ms. Yukiko, do you know what time it is?"
Tsuneo was speechless; it was only 4:30 AM on his end.
"Tsuneo, we just heard about Shinichi's situation."
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone changed; it was a middle-aged man with a magnetic voice.
"From seventeen to seven, it's quite a gain," Tsuneo said from the bottom of his heart.
Just kidding, if A-drug had this effect and was actually released, even with a one-in-a-thousand success rate, countless people would flock to it.
And according to his analysis, looking at The Witch, APTX4869 probably had the ability to stop people from growing, which was the most terrifying aspect.
"Things might not be that simple," Kudo Yusaku's voice deepened slightly.
"I'm going to ask some friends to see if we can get that drug from that mysterious Organization."
"I suggest you don't act rashly," Tsuneo said, pouring a glass of water and drinking it in one gulp.
The Kudo family currently didn't know what kind of Organization they were about to face.
FBI, CIA, MI6, Japan Public Security Bureau, and who knew how many unknown forces were involved deeper down.
Similarly, your high-ranking friends might not necessarily be your friends.
"Yukiko and I will be back soon; we'll talk then."
Kudo Yusaku keenly sensed that Tsuneo seemed to know something.
It was still dark when they hung up.
Tsuneo put on his tracksuit and jogged all the way to the park to continue hitting trees.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The giant trees swayed, and the sky gradually brightened.
On the small paths in the park, people slowly began to jog here and there.
A young man in a red tracksuit slowly ran over from a distance.
He stood beside Tsuneo, curiously watching him practice an unknown, powerful boxing style.
"You..."
After finishing a set of punches, Tsuneo stopped and frowned, scrutinizing the young man beside him.
He wasn't angry because the other person was staring at him while he was boxing.
This was a public place, so it was naturally allowed for others to watch, and even learning from him was fine.
The main thing was that this person had gentle eyes, a delicate and round face, long hair, and looked effeminate, giving the impression of being a woman.
He looked like a cross-dresser?
"Sorry for disturbing you."
The young man subconsciously squatted down, picked up a piece of bark that had splashed to his feet, and apologized to Tsuneo.
"It's nothing, maybe you'll need this."
Tsuneo, with a complicated expression, pulled out a business card from his pants pocket and handed it to the other person.
After returning from the park, Tsuneo took a shower, put on his work clothes, and left with his toolbox.
Today's breakfast was still a beef sandwich.
The cashier's smile was as sweet as ever, and everything seemed no different.
However, just as Tsuneo pulled out his wallet and was waiting to pay, a tall man wearing a mask suddenly rushed into the convenience store.
In his hand, he held a thirty-centimeter-long dagger.
"Nobody move!"
After a loud shout, the few customers in the small store were startled and froze.
"Hand over the money, quick!"
The masked man rushed to the cash register, wildly slashing the dagger twice, making a mess around the counter.
The cashier was so scared that her face turned pale; she didn't dare to disobey and trembled as she started operating the machine.
"And you, where's your wallet!"
The masked man turned slightly and fixed his gaze on Tsuneo, who had just put his wallet away.
"If I were you, once you've messed with this guy, you'd run as far as you can."
A small figure wearing glasses, holding milk in one hand and bread in the other, emerged from who knows what corner, looking at the robber with an idiotic gaze.
"Damn brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
To show his ferocity, the masked man suddenly swung the dagger twice.
These few slashes made the cashier behind the counter retreat repeatedly in fear.
"Is this brand of milk good?"
Tsuneo lowered his head and asked curiously.
"It's very sweet, I guess only Dr. Agasa would drink it."
Conan shook his head.
Dr. Agasa's high blood pressure, high blood fat, and high blood sugar problems were getting worse, and he was overly lazy, even asking him to run errands to a convenience store less than a hundred meters away.
"Hey, you two!"
The masked man's anger intensified when he saw the tall and short duo start chatting in front of him.
He directly swung a knife at Tsuneo, wanting to teach him a lesson.
A silver light flashed.
Tsuneo had, at some point, taken out an arm-length adjustable wrench.
"Bang!"
He slightly dodged the dagger, grabbed the other's wrist, and swung the wrench back.
"Puff!"
Blood stained the mask, the man's cheek swelled up, and he swayed like he was drunk, his eyes glazed over.
Soon, he slumped to the ground.
Tsuneo released the other's wrist and kicked the dagger away from the ground.
He turned to Conan, "Where were we just now?"
"Next time you make a move, can you be a bit gentler?"
Conan stepped forward to check the masked man's condition, asking exasperatedly.
In this state, he probably wouldn't be able to speak clearly for a while after waking up, which would be troublesome for the police interrogation.
"It's already very gentle. He wanted to kill me, but I only beat him half to death."
Tsuneo sneered, indicating that he had already been very merciful.
He then put the wrench back into his toolbox and looked at the cashier behind the counter.
"Y-yes!"
The cashier nodded vigorously, admitting that he was right.
She never expected this Repairman, who came every day for breakfast, to be so formidable...
Tsuneo pulled out his wallet and asked, "Twelve sandwiches, how much?"
"N-no need, today's on me!"
The cashier finally recovered her composure, steadied herself a bit, and generously put all the sandwiches into a bag.
"How can I accept that?"
Tsuneo put away his wallet, smiling brightly, and walked out of the convenience store with a bag of sandwiches, leaving the unconscious robber for the Detective to handle.
He still had work to do and no time to waste here.
Ever since Shinichi shrunk, Mihua Town had lost its former peace and tranquility.
Now, even buying breakfast could lead to a robbery.
Mihua Town?
It should be the City of Sin!
