Chapter 81 Why Not Fake Death?
Watching her father's departing figure, Matsumoto Sayuri sucked on her straw, her voice muffled: "What's wrong with that? Just praise me if you want, why go through all that trouble?"
However, Matsumoto Sayuri quickly recovered her spirits, and some of her former students came to visit her one after another, which made this teacher, who was fortunate enough to take over the role of Shinichi Kudo, whose Grim Reaper aura was not yet strong, feel very gratified.
Given Conan's current abilities, it's uncertain how many people would survive.
However, considering that the world provides very effective protection for minors, children are relatively safe compared to the large number of adults who die tragically.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
Among the students who came to visit Sayuri, there was one who left a deep impression on Akutagawa Hiko.
Simply put, it's just too greasy.
He put on a deeply affectionate act, saying things like "only I can bring happiness to the teacher," and then left on his own.
"Hey, the camera seems to be running out of battery."
Hearing this, Xiaolan was a little worried, but she quickly came up with a solution: "There seems to be an appliance store nearby, let's go buy a battery."
With that, Ran asked Akutagawa Hiko to keep an eye on Conan, then placed the camera on a stool and ran out with Sonoko in tow.
Faced with the two energetic individuals, Conan couldn't voice his complaints because Matsumoto Sayuri was present, and could only mutter them to himself.
"Don't they even check before leaving the house? Honestly—"
Unexpectedly, Matsumoto Sayuri took Conan's glasses off: "Looking at it this way, it really does resemble Shinichi Kudo. Every time I see that face, I can't help but want to tease it."
Conan, whose face was being pinched, could only curse the pervert in his heart, but he was helpless. Akutagawa Hiko was too busy watching the show to help him.
"Because that guy looks a lot like my first love—"
Through Matsumoto Sayuri's memories, Conan also learned why she liked lemon tea so much.
The hero rescuing the damsel in distress may be a cliché, but it's very effective, especially since it happens between innocent children who don't have the same caution and calculations as adults.
What's more, her first love would bring her steaming hot lemon tea stolen from home, and after protecting her and getting hurt, he would comfort her with the drink. Moreover, his character model was quite outstanding. How could she not be moved?
When the topic of modeling came up, Akutagawa Hiko carefully examined Conan's face.
In short, for some reason, although Conan's or rather Shinichi Kudo's face is inherently handsome and good-looking, it is surprisingly easy for others to resemble him.
Aside from Osaka Black Chicken, who is easily distinguishable due to his skin color, and Kuroba Kaito, who is somewhat related by blood, there are quite a few people who resemble Shinichi Kudo.
Seeing Matsumoto Sayuri holding her lemon tea with a blissful expression, Akutagawa Hiko chuckled and remarked, "Matsumoto-sensei's first love wouldn't happen to be her current fiancé, would it?"
Matsumoto Sayuri covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh, how did you find out?!"
"This is just basic reasoning. Judging from what you just said, your feelings for this first love are quite deep. Although we haven't known each other for long, I don't think you're the kind of person who would abandon love and marry a rich man."
"You've never hidden your love for your first love, and your anticipation for this wedding is equally loving. I think you can trust your character and Inspector Matsumoto's upbringing."
Akutagawa thought for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, judging from Inspector Matsumoto's behavior, your decision to get married was quite sudden, and considering what you said earlier about that person moving out so quickly—."
"So I can deduce that you suddenly met someone who looked a lot like you, and you even investigated his identity and decided to marry him, who is now your fiancé, the groom outside, right?"
Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but clap her hands: "Wow, that's absolutely right! No wonder he's a great detective whom my dad admires!"
Conan put his glasses back on. He didn't really approve of this kind of reasoning, which had no factual basis and was entirely based on subjective guesses and personality analysis.
Ultimately, the most important thing in solving a case is to have evidence.
However, on second thought...
At the crime scene, Hiko Akutagawa gathered all the evidence before starting his deductions, so his usual deduction method was probably one of bold guessing and careful verification.
However, since today isn't the crime scene, we'll skip the verification step and just state our guesses; it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that.
It's impossible for another case to happen today, otherwise I'd eat the skateboard the professor invented right there and then!
Conan confidently set a goal: the "potential culprit" in the case he wanted would fall in amidst the shoving of the groomsmen.
Seeing the lemon tea in Matsumoto Sayuri's hand, Takasugi Toshihiko's expression hardened slightly as he took the drink from her: "Why are you drinking such a cheap beverage again?"
Akutagawa Hiko could tell that the displeasure in her words was genuine. He didn't know if it was because she had forgotten her roots after becoming rich, or if she was unhappy that Matsumoto Sayuri was drinking a beverage associated with his first love.
No sooner had Takasugi Toshihiko finished speaking than Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran rushed back, and then they gossiped with the others about this person they often encountered at banquets.
Things like indecisiveness and untrustworthiness—
As they were talking, the two girls and the little girl, who still held onto a beautiful filter of love, suddenly froze, their faces slightly flushed, staring at the place where Takasugi Toshihiko and Matsumoto Sayuri were, without even blinking.
Akutagawa clicked his tongue slightly. This Matsumoto teacher was indeed fierce. Although it wasn't in public, it was almost the same. He actually pulled the person over and kissed him directly.
In this rather reserved country, such a personality is not very common.
Sonoko Suzuki glanced at Hiko Akutagawa beside her, her face turning even redder. It was unclear what she had thought of, but her opinion of Toshihiko Takasugi rose several notches.
The perception shifted from "the Gaoshan Group will be ruined by this person" to "as long as there's a teacher around, nothing will happen."
As soon as the others left, Akutagawa Hiko sneaked back to his room when no one was looking.
Matsumoto Sayuri, who was about to down her lemon tea, hesitated for a moment, worried that the handsome young man her father admired might be mistaken for a suspect. She put down her drink and asked, "Akutagawa-kun, why are you back again? Did you leave something here?"
Akutagawa Hiko's expression was serious, and he frowned as he said, "Did you know that something was tampered with in your drink?"
Although surprised, Matsumoto Sayuri nodded.
Looking at Matsumoto-sensei, who was preparing to atone for her father's sins, Akutagawa Hiko pulled out a small medicine bottle and said, "To avoid future regrets, let's fake our death and see how it goes?"
