Chapter 249 Games and Clues
"Eh... I didn't expect you guys to actually get it."
Sonoko looked at the badges in Ayumi and the others' hands and couldn't help but sigh.
At first, she thought Asakawa Yu's method was unlikely to work, just like Conan. But in the end, she underestimated how precious the gold cards were to children.
"But isn't this great? Being able to experience the most popular topics right now is actually pretty good."
Ai Haibara held the badge in her hand, looked at the three little ones' smiling faces, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
"Want to go see your dad?"
Asakawa Yu stood next to Conan, noticing that Conan's gaze kept drifting towards Kudo Yusaku, and then spoke up.
"Just watch quietly from the side, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Seeing Conan hesitate, Asakawa Yu spoke up again.
Finally, after hesitating, Conan nodded and said, "Okay."
"I'll take Conan over there for a bit. You guys wait here with these kids for a bit."
After giving instructions to Akemi, Asakawa Yu led Conan towards Kudo Yusaku's direction.
Just as Asakawa Yu was getting closer to Kudo Yusaku, the girls who had been surrounding Kudo Yusaku suddenly looked at him like wolves seeing sheep, their eyes lighting up instantly.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Asakawa Yu who was standing on the stage just like Mr. Yusaku?!"
Following the direction a woman was pointing, they saw Asakawa Yu standing silently on the perimeter with Conan.
In an instant, Asakawa Yu sensed something was wrong.
"Really?! Let's go, let's go meet him!"
In an instant, countless girls rushed towards Asakawa Yu, completely surrounding the spot where he and Kudo Yusaku were standing.
Looking back at Asakawa Yu, who looked just like him, Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Now I understand how hard you've worked, Mr. Kudo."
Asakawa Yu looked helpless, but she couldn't just turn around and leave. For a moment, the two of them were in the same predicament.
As for Conan?
He was pushed out as soon as the group of girls surged over.
He looked indignant. "Honestly... I should have known better than to come with him."
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
Just then, a dark-skinned man, who looked like a staff member, squeezed his way to Yusaku Kudo.
This made Asakawa Yu and Kudo Yusaku breathe a sigh of relief.
"what happened?"
After the person came to Kudo Yusaku's side, he immediately leaned close to Kudo Yusaku's ear and whispered something in his ear.
"You mean... Kenmura?! Take me there right now!"
For a moment, as if he had heard some unbelievable news, Kudo Yusaku's expression changed drastically, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Mr. Asakawa, I think I may need to leave for a while."
Kudo Yusaku looked at Asakawa Yu beside him and said with a serious expression.
"Do you need my help?"
In one sentence, he brought Yusaku Kudo's attention back.
He slowly turned around, looked at Asakawa Yu, and said, "If possible, let's go take a look together."
Upon hearing Kudo Yusaku's words, Asakawa Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.
He broke free from the group of girls and, together with the serious-looking Kudo Yusaku and the staff member who had just informed them, headed towards their destination.
Conan, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, noticed the strange atmosphere between the two and pondered for a moment before quietly following behind.
When Asakawa Yu and Kudo Yusaku arrived at the scene, medical staff were preparing to carry Kenmura out.
They encountered Professor Agasa on the way, and after explaining the situation, they brought him along.
"Brother Kudo, and Brother Asakawa, you're here too?"
Asakawa Yu nodded to Inspector Megure, then began to observe the scene.
Wow! It's a meeting between the father and son, right?
[A genuine meeting between in-laws]
He remembered that it was Chairman Sindora who killed Kenmura, and Kenmura seemed to have left some kind of death message.
"By the way, Yusaku, I heard you and Kenmura are old friends. I wanted to ask you, do you know if anyone has a grudge against him?"
Seeing that things couldn't continue like this, Inspector Megure began questioning Yusaku Kudo.
Yusaku Kudo pondered for a moment, then looked at Kogoro Mouri.
"Wasn't he with you? The boy with glasses."
This question stumped Mori, who asked back, "You mean... Conan? He was just here a moment ago."
Conan, who was originally planning to follow Asakawa Yu and the others, met Kogoro Mouri on the way and went directly to the scene with him.
"I think I have a pretty good idea where he went."
Asakawa Yu's words drew everyone's attention.
"What do you mean?" Yusaku asked.
Asakawa Yu pointed to the keyboard, gesturing for Kudo Yusaku to come and take a look.
Yusaku Kudo and the professor walked over and looked at the keyboard. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"JTR!"
"What did you say? Conan used the gift I gave him?!"
Upon hearing these three letters, the doctor instantly understood.
"Yes, let's go, Doctor. Oh, by the way, I remember Mr. Asakawa, you seem to be..."
Asakawa Yu nodded, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. "It seems we're thinking the same thing."
"Okay, then let's split up. Oh, by the way... could you please help me out?"
Asakawa Yu waved her hand, "I know, then I'll leave things here to you."
After saying that, the three of them walked outside together.
But it was clear that Inspector Megure and his team couldn't understand what the three of them were saying at all.
"Wait a minute, Yusaku and Asakawa, what do those three letters mean?"
Inspector Megure pointed to three letters on the keyboard and asked them.
“JTR is the abbreviation for a character that appears in the game,” Yusaku Kudo said slowly.
"Kenmura and I both refer to him as JTR."
“Jack the Ripper!” Asakawa Yu picked up where Kudo Yusaku left off. “That is… Jack the Ripper.”
"Jack the Ripper?!"
"Yes, he was a real-life serial killer in late 5th-century London who murdered five women with a knife, plunging London into extreme terror. The London police were ultimately unable to arrest him."
"So, what exactly is this game you were talking about?" Inspector Megure asked again.
"Let's talk about the rest on the way. I should be getting to the venue by now."
Asakawa Yu interrupted Inspector Megure.
Yusaku Kudo nodded. "That makes sense. Let's split up then."
