Chapter 92: The Protagonists from Two Worlds Meet~
"Anyway, you don't know our parents."
Genta and Mitsuhiko stood next to Shinichi Kudo, listening to his rambling, and shrugged indifferently.
The reason they were able to talk to Shinichi Kudo was because Genta's money was stolen by a stranger when he was buying other snacks, but fortunately Shinichi Kudo helped him get it back.
After learning a little about the situation, Shinichi Kudo found out from Genta that the three kids had secretly run away from home.
They each took some money and agreed to spend the whole day there.
Out of humanitarian concern, Shinichi Kudo decided to persuade the kids to go back to where they came from.
To prevent these three unsupervised kids from being targeted by other bad guys, he didn't have that much time to help a bunch of children recover their property; his energy and focus had to be on the case.
After all, how could the most capable high school detective in modern times be running around for a bunch of little brats every day?
This is completely inconsistent with his identity and his public persona.
It has to be said that Shinichi Kudo is quite arrogant.
After being rebuked by these kids, Shinichi Kudo almost rushed up and slapped each of them to teach them a lesson.
Holy crap!
A bunch of little brats dared to talk to me like that.
Even those middle-aged police officers treat him with great respect.
"what?"
Just then, Wang Changsheng and Sakura, who were queuing to buy ice cream at the stall next to Shinichi Kudo's group, also noticed the commotion.
Because the stall next door that sells various frog-flavored ice creams hardly gets any customers, the line that Wang Changsheng is in naturally has more people.
That oddly flavored ice cream stall seems to have driven all the customers here.
I don't know if these two businesses are owned by the same person or if they are run separately.
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but admire that business could be done this way.
If both stores are owned by the same person, then that person has a good business sense.
If these two businesses are operating separately, then Wang Changsheng thinks the owner of the frog-flavored ice cream stall might really have some kind of mental problem.
Or perhaps he doesn't pursue money and wealth at all, but simply wants to show the world some strange hobby he has.
Tomoyo turned her head and her gaze fell on Shinichi Kudo, her eyes lighting up.
"Chang Sheng, this person seems to be the famous high school detective from Beika Town that I saw in the newspaper."
"Huh?"
Because they weren't very far apart, and Tomoyo didn't deliberately avoid talking to Shinichi Kudo, his voice naturally reached Shinichi Kudo's ears as well.
He turned around and noticed that the three children queuing at the stall next to him were surprisingly good-looking.
Among the three children, the girl with dark purple eyes had the most refined and elegant demeanor, befitting a daughter of a wealthy family.
And it seems that the person who recognized me just now was also this girl.
"That's right, I am the famous detective! I am the famous detective—the washing machine!"
When Shinichi Kudo saw Tomoyo and Changsheng Wang looking over, he felt a strange and different feeling about the three children. So he smiled smugly and nodded.
The adults standing in line in front of Wang Changsheng glanced back at Shinichi Kudo, then sneered, took the ice cream handed to them by the shopkeeper, and walked away.
Despite being mocked by the adults with a hint of disdain, Shinichi Kudo remained unperturbed and continued to laugh smugly.
However, Ran, who was standing next to him, looked a little embarrassed. She reached out and tugged at Shinichi Kudo's arm, signaling him to behave and not embarrass himself in front of the children.
However, this tug almost made Shinichi Kudo stumble.
After being "warned" by his childhood friend, Shinichi Kudo stopped smiling. He simply nodded to Wang Changsheng and the others before turning his attention back to Genta and Mitsuhiko.
I don't know why, even though these two groups of kids don't seem to be that much older, maybe only a few years apart.
But he just felt that Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying were much more "advanced" than Genta and Ayumi, those three little brats.
It's a really strange feeling.
After a moment of internal reflection, Shinichi Kudo said to Mitsuhiko and the others, "Do you think I want to bother with you? If I hadn't just helped you get your money back, you three little brats wouldn't even be able to go home, would you?"
"That's because Genta is too stupid. He let bad guys steal the money from his pocket." Ayumi pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with Genta.
Mitsuhiko, who had always regarded Ayumi as his goddess, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, that's right."
"Huh?" Hearing his two friends pointing the finger at him, Genta said somewhat aggrievedly, "It's because you two insisted that I keep our money safe. I just saw that eel rice looked delicious, and before I knew it, it was stolen. I'll definitely be more careful next time and won't let anyone take it so easily."
"Huh?" Wang Changsheng, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was speechless upon hearing this.
So, does this mean that someone else has to take it?
"You think there will be a next time? Do you think anyone will help you get your money back? You're lucky you ran into me." Shinichi Kudo's disdainful voice rang out.
If he weren't so righteous and indignant, why would he have gone looking for trouble?
Of course, Xiaolan might also have been egging him on behind the scenes.
Originally, he only wanted to get the money back for these kids after it was stolen, but Xiaolan felt that it was very dangerous for these three kids to be without adult supervision, so she asked him to take the three kids on a trip.
Shinichi Kudo was speechless. This was supposed to be a date between the two of them, but these three little brats had to interfere.
Xiao Lan said something else, but anyway, they would have many more opportunities to go out and play together in the future, so this one time wouldn't make a difference, and there was no need to put these children in danger.
After all, they are still children. Someone had already noticed that they were not being supervised by their parents and had been keeping an eye on them. Otherwise, the money would not have been stolen like this.
It was more like blatant theft than actual stealing. It's just that Genta was so dense that even when people stripped him naked right in front of him, he probably didn't even realize he was naked.
Just outrageous!
In the end, it was Shinichi Kudo who saw it, arrested the man, and handed him over to the park's security personnel.
But who can know if this person has accomplices?
After some consideration, Shinichi Kudo decided to follow Ran's wishes and bring the three little brats along.
"Anyway, stop talking nonsense and come with us to finish exploring the amusement park. Then I'll call your parents to send you home. Otherwise, your parents will come pick you up right now."
Shinichi Kudo issued an ultimatum to Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and the other two brats.
Calling parents is a tried-and-true method for students of all grades and from all countries.
When Shinichi Kudo told them to call their parents to pick them up right now, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and the other two kids clearly panicked.
They were completely unaware that, as they had said before, Shinichi Kudo didn't know who their parents were, and if they didn't give him their phone number, who would know?
Of course, if Shinichi Kudo wanted to get his parents' phone numbers, it would be a very easy thing to do.
All he needs to do is notify the amusement park to connect the three kids with the person who was abducted, and their parents will naturally come over.
"Don't tell our parents, we'll play with you," Yuan Tai said blankly.
With just a few words, he managed to intimidate these three brats. Shinichi Kudo curled his lip in disapproval.
A little brat is just a little brat.
"but……"
After a pause, Shinichi Kudo turned his gaze to Wang Changsheng, Sakura, and the other two.
"You three kids, did you also sneak off to the amusement park under the pretense of going to the nearby park during your holiday, instead of your parents?" Shinichi Kudo asked, staring at Wang Changsheng and the others.
What a terrible day!
My family, you have no idea what I went through today.
