Start By Becoming A Mangaka-Chapter 31: I Love Ramen

"Hurry up and call the ambulance!" Kogorou also told them,

When Koizumi started calling ambulances, she knew something bad was happening to that man.

"Idiot, how many times do you think I'll fall for the same trick? Ogura said, "Taninaka, give me a hand to throw this one."

"Ye-yes," The short-haired man with a mustache started to crouch down.

"YOU CAN'T TOUCH HIM!" Conan screamed and startled them. "It's better if you don't touch anything because I'm sure that man is already dead."

Conan's word made everyone startled, Yuuki hurriedly called the police to come to this store.

"It's you again!" Meguro inspector was annoyed to see Kogorou and Conan.

"Hahaha, it's a coincidence," Kogorou said while rubbing the back of his head.

Megure inspector sighed and noticed Yuuki, who was also inside the store.

"Hello, Meguro inspector," Yuuki smiled, making Meguro's lips twitched.

"Sigh, we'll inspect everyone first, so you need to wait, ok?" Megure said tiredly.

"Yeah, thank you, inspector," Yuuki was glad that he had a connection in the police, "Don't worry, we'll go home soon," He tried to appease Koizumi.

Koizumi nodded and him and glad that they would go home.

Kogorou who noticed the interaction between Yuuki and Meguro was surprised. He had never seen Meguro was so humble at Yuuki. He thought that Yuuki must the son of someone rich or high ranking official.

"Meguro, who is the boy?" Kogorou asked.

"Hmm, he is the son of Shuuei Clan head," Meguro said.

Kogorou became pale when he heard it. He had never thought Yuuki was the son of Yakuza. He had heard their group and it was pretty famous around the Kanto area. It had even dominated almost entire Tokyo area, he had also heard this group had a fight with some gangster from a foreign country. He definitely didn't want to be involved with Yuuki.

Conan was also shocked to hear Yuuki was the son of Yakuza's clan head. He knew that it was better not to ask for trouble with Yuuki but his detective's soul made him curious about his identity.

'Who are you?' Conan thought

From the investigation, the man was killed by poison. According to the police, the man ingested the hydrocyanic poison through his mouth as he ate the ramen.

The possible killer was Ogura, Sayo, and Taninaka who had known the man for a long time. Three of them had a strong motive to kill the man but there wasn't sufficient evidence to make them the killer.

The police had checked every belonging of the three people.

Ogura had a cigarette, a lighter, and portable ashtray.

Sayo had a mobile phone, coin purse, an eye drop, and handkerchief.

Taninaka had a wallet, glasses, and a key of his shop.

The police couldn't find any trace of poison everywhere and concluded that the man committed suicide, but suddenly Kogorou was sleeping and said his deduction.

Before the man came to the ramen store, he had come to the barbershop to cut his hair. Kogorou said that the poison could be found in the glasses.

It was concluded that the killer was Taninaka and he placed the poison when the man was in his barbershop.

The condensation process when the man entered the store made him touch his glasses so he could clean it. It was at that time the man had already touched his the poison and entered his eternal slumber.

"The killer is Taninaka-san!" Kogorou said.

The police caught him and brought him to the jail, because of that incident Ogura had decided to move his store from this building.

The case had already been solved and everyone was ready to go home.

Conan looked at Yuuki's back who was slowly disappeared, 'I'll reveal your mystery.'

Yuuki didn't really care about Conan. He looked at Koizumi who had been silence for a while. He thought that she was still in shock of that murder case.

"Are you okay?" Yuuki asked.

Koizumi nodded at him but didn't say anything.

Yuuki sighed and massaged his temple. Koizumi was kind of hard to understand girl. She didn't show any emotion and didn't talk much. It was hard to tell her condition.

Yuuki could only accompany her back to her home.

They walked slowly in street, there were many stores that had already been closed. Yuuki held her hands and could feel that her hand was cold. He looked around searching for something that could warm her hand.

Yuuki walked for a while and found a convenience store.

"Let's stop there for a while," Yuuki said.

Koizumi nodded and followed him to the convenience store. She walked toward the sitting area and Yuuki bought something.

Koizumi was waiting for him, the murder case in that ramen store had definitely made her shocked. She thought that it was sad for that ramen store to be closed because of the murder case, but she knew she couldn't do anything.

Koizumi showed a rare expression and thought something very serious until Yuuki came to her.

"Sorry, for making you wait, this is for you," Yuuki gave her cup ramen.

"This is?" Koizumi said.

"This is cup ramen, we've stayed there for a while and I'm quite hungry again, Let's eat this for a while before going home," Yuuki said.

Koizumi looked at the cup ramen in front of her. She didn't know whether she could eat ramen after that incidents. She looked at the ramen for a while until she smelled a very delicious smell from Yuuki. She looked at him was eating the same cup ramen without caring about anything.

Koizumi looked at him for a while until she heard a sound from her stomach. She sighed and looked at the ramen in front of her.

Koizumi took her chopsticks and ate her ramen slowly. Her speed was getting faster and faster until she slurped her entire ramen.

"AAHH!"

Koizumi had a very satisfied expression on her face.

"Yuuki," Koizumi said.

"Hmm?" Yuuki answered.

"I love ramen," Koizumi showed him a very gentle smile.

"Me too," Yuuki was glad.
