Chapter 159 - Daily Case

As a proper shut in, it was already good enough that her physical strength was raised. But looking at her record in the police academy from the mission log… Kurokawa Saki had no doubt that Instructor Onizuka definitely put her among the list of troublemakers.

There was no doubt about it.

Her scores are very biased, AHH…

As for how she managed to become the first place along with a male classmate in the police academy, Kurokawa Saki had no idea. But she guessed that she should have been stimulated to compete with the other party, which allowed her to force herself to train her body.

After all, an 18 to 19 year old girl is still very emotional.

And competitive.

Moreover, if she truly has a goal, then she would strive to fulfil it, even if it meant forcing herself.

This was one of the reasons why she could become one of the top students back then in her previous life.

Well, Kurokawa Saki silently turned her eyes away. She didn't really want to remember those black histories anymore.

Uh wait.

She didn't even have the memory.

It was nothing more than logs written in the system about her background setting. The log was very complete, with almost everything she had done written within it.

Kurokawa Saki read all of them but only took notes of the important information. After all, no matter what had happened before, she would not use the identity of Kurokawa Saki until her mission was over.

So she basically had to remember the life trajectory of Hikari Yuki instead.

Tsk, tsk.

Thankfully it was not that complicated and Kurokawa Saki remembered everything by heart.

In any case, this case didn't really involve the others too much as it mostly followed the same script. The only difference is the additional shot that Sake gave to Conan.

Uhm, that brat should be very 'happy' with his new hairstyle.

…

So when Hikari Yuki saw Conan's new hairstyle the next day, she was trying hard to restrain her laugh and crouched on the side, her shoulder shaking so badly.

Conan looked at Hikari Yuki furiously, but he was helpless.

Who could tell him why it was his hair that was being targeted?

The good thing is that he was still alive.

The bad thing is that he had to cut off his hair, turning his hair to be somewhat round, probably similar to Genta's hairstyle.

Many people had been laughing when they saw him.

"Your hairstyle is really good, Conan," Hikari Yuki said with a thumbs up.

"If you can stop laughing, I'll believe you more, Yuki Neechan." Conan gritted his teeth in anger. He didn't understand why that person wanted to target his hair, but he was thankful that he could still keep his life.

Hikari Yuki chuckled in amusement. 

She could see that Conan was angry.

But the one who shaved Conan's hair with a bullet is Sake.

What does it have to do with her, Kurokawa Saki?

Hikari Yuki pretended not to know anything and happily rubbed Conan's head, which made the brat even angrier and pushed her hand away.

"Yuki Neechan, don't tease Conan all the time," Mouri Ran said helplessly. She felt that if this continued, Conan would not want to play with Hikari Yuki anymore.

"Alright, alright." Hikari Yuki naturally would not make so much trouble to Conan. She still knew the sense of proportions.

Conan snorted and moved further away from Hikari Yuki.

While he knew that the other party was only teasing him, he still didn't want his head to be touched by others.

"Here's the tea, Yuki Neechan." 

"Thank you, Ran." Hikari Yuki drank the tea quietly and then glanced at Mouri Kogoro who was watching the television on the side. "By the way, do you not have any clients today?"

"No…" Mouri Kogoro was still watching the racehorse when his phone rang.

"What? You want me to find someone? Ah.. very sorry, but I'm really busy right now…."

Hikari Yuki watched as Mouri Ran looked at her father in anger while Conan shut off the television. She almost wanted to laugh as Mouri Ran reprimanded her father when she heard the door being knocked.

"Hello, my surname is Ikenami, I had just called. Please forgive me for disturbing you so suddenly. An acquaintance had told me that Mouri San would definitely be able to find the person I'm looking for…"

Conan looked astonished and thought in his mind, 'She's beautiful.'

"Ah! Please come inside and have a seat," Mouri Ran quickly said and then looked around because her father disappeared.

In the next moment, Mouri Kogoro came out, all dressed up and then took the woman's hand and apologized, "Terribly sorry for letting you wait so long, beautiful lady. I was just looking at some challenging murder case files…"

The other two: "..."

Only Hikari Yuki was looking at Ikenami Shizuka and her brain was turning fast.

She had never met with the other party before, but how could she not recognize her?

This is Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heiji's mother and Hattori Heizo's wife. Besides the fact that she appeared in the comic, the reason why Hikari Yuki was familiar with the other party's face was because she had seen her from a distance.

'Since she come here, then this should be the prologue case before that mermaid case…' Hikari Yuki didn't remember the exact details of the case anymore, but she could see that this should be the case where Conan found out that Hattori Shizuka is Hattori Heiji's mother.

As for the mermaid case, she only remembered that it seemed to be something related to the mermaid island and then… someone died?

There were so many people who died in the Conan's world and Hikari Yuki was not entirely sure of the details. Her memory was not that bad, but she never purposely remembered any of Conan's cases. So aside from the important characters, she actually almost remembered nothing.

If she wanted to help, she had to be present on the scene.

But each time, there would be things happening either from the organization or the official agency that stopped her from being able to participate in person. 

While her brain was turning rapidly, she listened on the side.

The act of Hattori Shizuka was the same as in the comic, she kept on saying things that were not consistent with some things and coughing. Of course, Hikari Yuki pretended that she didn't know anything and listened attentively.

"Do you want to come, Yuki Neechan?" Mouri Ran asked.

"Ah, no, I'm just here to play with you for a bit. Since you have some work, then I wouldn't disturb you." Hikari Yuki shook her head, refusing to come along.

She didn't remember this case, but she knew very well that if there was truly a case in front of her, she might not be able to stay quiet completely. And if someone attempted to kill other people in front of her… Hikari Yuki couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't attack the other party first. 

For the sake of her undercover mission, Hikari Yuki felt that it would be better for her to stay far away from Conan. 

Not long ago, she had already interfered with that case.

Thankfully, it was indeed an international case, so there would not be any problem in the paperwork and so on.

But Karin still reminded her not to get too involved in normal cases.

Her identity is not suitable.

And there were a lot of paperwork that Kazuki Karin had to handle each time.

The police officers would be the one to do the work while she had other things that she had to do.

So for the sake of her subordinates and her own undercover career… Kurokawa Saki had to restrain herself.

Besides, following Conan all the time seemed to be stupid.

She didn't want to become a stalker.

There were many other cases that Kurokawa Saki had to handle and these small cases were not within her scope of work. She has other priorities.

*sigh*

"Eh, it'll be fine, right, Miss Ikenami?" Mouri Ran turned to look at Ikenami Shizuka, unsure whether she would allow an outsider to come along.

"It's fine for your friend to come along, Miss Mouri." Ikenami Shizuka had a polite smile on her face.

Hikari Yuki still has the same smile on her face and she could tell that the other party was assessing her, but she didn't mind that much. Every time she came out with a different identity, she would pay great attention to her attire and various details.

Unless she was pressed in time and had no time to pay attention to the great details, she would not make any mistake in her behaviour. 

"In that case, I'll be bothering you, Mrs. Ikenami." Hikari Yuki had a smile on her face.

Ikenami Shizuka looked at Hikari Yuki and nodded.
