Chapter 8: uncle Kogoro I want to be your apprentice
His words made Conon think normally. Yuuki Rito just built up few barriers here and there. It is not that he wanted to separate Conon and Ran but he don't want them to be together like this. This way he can also participate in their small group thing.
After all he is an outsider and cannot directly get into action with Kogoro. Instead he would be left out most of the time. But if Conon lives with him Kogoro might take Yuuki Rito along with him few times.
Yuuki Rito can provide some assistance to Kogoro and also get more confession points in the process. He still has to meet many beauties and he wants to roll in those big Ds and soft buns in the future.
Even though Ran and Conon left early Yuuki Rito just followed them in the shadows. Before leaving he told Agasa few words so that he would not misunderstood the actions of Yuuki Rito.
"Professor Agasa. I want to tail behind Ran and Conon for the time being. This way I can be sure if those men in black are still following Conon or not. Just in case as extra security. Ran is good at karate and she can protect herself and Conon if needed."
Professor Agasa naturally accepted the words of Yuuki Rito and Yuuki Rito just followed behind Ran and Conon from the shadows secretly. When they finally arrived at the detective agency Yuuki Rito came forward quickly as if jogging all the way.
He even has sweat on his body and he appeared right when Kogoro fell down from the stairs straight on his face telling Ran and Conon that they got a kidnapping case. Kogoro called in a taxi and got in the taxi.
Along with him, Ran and Conon also got in the car and Yuuki Rito got into the front seat beside the driver. Kogoro came out of his world of happiness and noticed that Ran and Conon are also with him. He did not notice Yuuki Rito yet.
Along the way they talked and talked but no one got out of the car. Yuuki Rito was not noticed by them for the time being and he travelled along. Only when getting off Kogoro noticed Yuuki Rito that also got off the car.
"Why are you here too…?" Kogoro asked Yuuki Rito.
"Uncle, I want to learn to be a detective from you. In the future after becoming a lawyer I still have to check on my clients and few things right. So I am learning from you. Please accept me as your apprentice…" Yuuki Rito said with the normal bow of this country's etiquette.
Kogoro thought for a moment and wanted to compete with his wife in training Yuuki Rito to become a great detective. After all Yuuki Rito did learn from his wife before and now he wanted to learn from him. This made him happier and immediately accepted him.
It would not cost him any money to accept Yuuki Rito after all. So he accepted Yuuki Rito and nodded his head and said. "Okay, you can be my apprentice. Now follow me and observe how solve the case…"
The steps of Kogoro are almost floating as he got a new disciple and he wanted to show off while solving the case of the kidnap of the rich man's daughter. Yuuki Rito doesn't care about this and followed.
Conan has an appreciative look on his face because in his mind Yuuki Rito became the apprentice of Kogoro just to help him. So he is naturally grateful towards Yuuki Rito. Yuuki Rito just smiled at him without explaining anything.
Naturally Yuuki Rito stood on the side to watch while Conon is not idle but started to become restless to know what is happening and wants to question the father of the victim. Naturally Conon got a bump on his head after getting punched by Kogoro.
Yuuki Rito did not stop it instead he looked around at the short haired woman wearing a kimono. She looked good. The kimono is covering her figure but Yuuki Rito can still see that the pair is quite big.
But Yuuki Rito did not look at her specifically so that she would not notice his gaze and cause misunderstanding. Instead he walked towards the pine tree where the criminal that kidnapped the girls has escaped from.
This is because Yuuki Rito saw a dog there and Yuuki Rito quickly got to know it because he carries few biscuits with him. After the dog got close Conon also understood the point but before he could start speaking Yuuki Rito walked over to the butler and caught his collar.
"There are many problems with what you said. If what you said is true then the dog should have barked looked at the strangers. But others said that they only heard your voice and nothing. Now tell me what is happening?"
With the words of Yuuki Rito, Kogoro got the gist of the matter and he quickly looked at the butler to get the information out of him. Naturally Kogoro also patted Yuuki Rito and praised him for being quickly witted.
"You are really sharp and found the key point really quickly…" Kogoro said to Yuuki Rito.
"It is all thanks to the training of uncle Kogoro…" Yuuki Rito said modestly when the old maid brought over a phone with the real kidnapper calling. Naturally Yuuki Rito knows about it. But he did not act immediately.
This is time for Conon to show off and get into trouble. After listening to the two clues the school storeroom and the big chimney, Conon rode over the dog and left. Ran followed him out of this place.
Yuuki Rito on the other hand looked at the surroundings to find the tallest building that looked like chimney that appeared in the plot. After that Yuuki Rito took Kogoro and others to move out of this place and followed the trail carefully.
