Conan's other self

boom.

In the Mori Detective Agency, accompanied by electronic sound effects, the character controlled by Maplehara was knocked to the ground.

"Haha, boy, you're still far away!" Uncle Maori held the controller and sat in front of the TV with Fengyuan, feeling very proud.

"..."

In the past two weeks, Uncle Maori had no commissions, and Conan had nothing to do, just playing video games in the office. Uncle Maori, who remembered the fun of torturing food last time, also joined in.

In order to play the role of Conan well, Maplehara had no choice but to continue.

A new game started, Feng Yuan cheered up, and then heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

"Dad, Conan!" Xiaolan walked in and closed the door, "I'm back!"

"Welcome back, Sister Xiaolan."

"Why is it so early today?"

"Today I'm just cleaning up the school festival venue. I'll be back when I'm done." Xiaolan put the ingredients she bought along the way into the refrigerator, "You two really have to be a little restrained when playing games-"

Ding dong——

The doorbell rang immediately.

"Huh?" Xiaolan, who had just entered the door, was a little surprised. She walked over and opened the door and said, "You two should finish quickly. Maybe there is a commission coming to the door——"

"——Shinichi!?"

Uncle Maoli looked back in surprise. Even though the person was half blocked by Xiaolan, he recognized it at a glance. The person standing at the door was the brat who had deceived his daughter.

Xiaolan couldn't help but look back. The one who was happily playing video games with her father was undoubtedly Conan.

"Xiaolan, it's me." Kudo Shinichi put one hand in his pocket and leaned against the door frame.

"Are you really Shinichi?"

"What are you talking about in your sleep!" Kudo Shinichi said dissatisfied, "Thank you for coming back to see you. Don't you recognize me after not seeing me for a while?"

"No, I'm just too happy..."

"Tch!" Uncle Maoli snorted unhappily, turned his head and continued to control his game character.

Although he was very unhappy with Kudo Shinichi, looking at his daughter's current state, Uncle Maori decided to forget it for the time being, and then casually responded to Kudo Shinichi's greeting.

"Xinyi, I forgot," Xiaolan stepped aside, "Come in and sit down, I was planning to make some snacks..."

"No, Xiaolan," Kudo Shinichi said, "I won't go in and disturb you. I'm actually here to see Conan. You also know that he is a distant relative of my family. His parents want me to bring something to him..."

"Eh?" Xiaolan was a little disappointed, "Xinyi, are you leaving again now?"

"Idiot! How could it be!" Kudo Shinichi lowered his voice slightly, "I will invite you out for dinner tonight, and I will tell you something important then."

"ah?"

"I'll call you later, don't forget it!"

Kudo Shinichi said this and asked "Conan" to leave. Maplehara took advantage of Uncle Mouri's distraction to win the first victory, and then followed Conan, who had transformed back into Kudo Shinichi, back to Dr. Agasa's house amidst Uncle Mouri's unhappy voice.

According to the plan, Conan deliberately appeared in front of Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi when "Maplehara" was in the detective agency, and then fished out Maplehara, and the two went back together to undergo various tests.

Walking on the road, Conan, who transformed into Kudo Shinichi, couldn't help but glance at Feng Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Fengyuan asked.

"Looking at my face from this perspective...it feels really different," Conan said with emotion, "Sure enough, my body is better."

Feng Yuan blinked and took off his glasses.

Conan suddenly felt unsatisfied.

Back at the doctor's home, Maplehara and Conan cooperated with Haibara Ai to conduct a series of tests, and some blood was also drawn.

It is worth mentioning that during the test, something happened to Conan and he fainted, but he recovered quickly after being rescued.

Conan, who had changed back as he wished, didn't care.

By the time the test was over, it was getting late. Maplehara called the Mori Detective Agency directly and said as Conan that he would stay at the doctor's house all night to play the doctor's new video game.

Although she was not happy, Xiaolan was going to go out for dinner with Shinichi tonight, so she just asked "Conan" to take a rest and agreed.

On the other hand, after being freed from the test, Conan slipped out of the door, planning to ask Xiaolan out for a walk before going to the Observation Restaurant for dinner together.

…

"Lookout restaurant?"

Haiyuan Ai looked at the restaurant's environment curiously, and then looked at the scenery outside the window. From here you can see the brightly lit rice flower market outside.

"Is it okay for us two elementary school students to come to such a high-end place?" Haiyuan Ai turned back to look at Fengyuan who was studying the menu.

"Don't worry, I brought the doctor's credit card," Fengyuan replied casually, "The doctor also called to reserve the seat."

"..."

"And...even though it's the doctor's credit card, I actually paid for it," Fengyuan continued, "You're welcome."

Fengyuan was a little curious about whether Conan could successfully say what he wanted to say to Xiaolan. He also needed to observe Conan's situation to avoid accidents, so he came here with Ai Haibara.

A few tables away were Conan and Xiaolan's seats.

However, Xiaolan's back was turned to them, and the two of them only had eyes for each other now, apparently not noticing that the two children were following them to secretly observe them.

In fact, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they found out, so Fengyuan sat here with Haibara Ai with peace of mind.

Haihara Ai looked back and found that even Conan, who was sitting towards them, hadn't noticed them, "What are they talking about?"

Feng Yuan's hearing is very good, and the distance is not far, so Haiyuan Ai thinks Feng Yuan can hear it.

"...it's not good to eavesdrop on what other people are saying."

"You are listening to yourself," Haiyuan Ai said seriously, "You cannot be considered eavesdropping on others."

It sounds so familiar, I always feel like I have said it before. Feng Yuan thought to himself and felt that what Hai Yuan Ai said made sense. In fact, Conan and Xiaolan didn't lower their voices specifically. Even if they didn't listen specifically, he could indeed hear them.

"Is it okay? The consumption here seems to be very high..." Fengyuan repeated, "This is what Xiaolan said."

"Don't worry, I brought my dad's credit card..."

Maplehara ended the retelling.

Haihara Ai showed a playful expression. The conversation between the two people over there was similar to the conversation between the two of them just now.

"...So you see, it's just these words with no nutrition, nothing nice to hear." Feng Yuan said.

The eavesdropping operation was over just as it began.

Haihara Ai also returned her attention to the menu.

After finishing a few dishes, Conan began to chat about Sherlock Holmes. Haihara Ai was a little full and looked out the window quietly in trance.

"Want to hear a story?"

Neither of them was very good at bringing up topics. After thinking about it for a while, Fengyuan decided to talk about something.

"OK."

Hui Yuan Ai turned around, supporting her chin with one hand and looking at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan then started talking:

"The protagonist of the story is a young male. He is a young and promising young mystery novelist."

"The novel he wrote was adapted into a film and television drama, and the heroine was played by a young and beautiful female high school student. The two got to know each other."

Hui Yuan Ai was thoughtful.

"On this day twenty years ago, this young mystery novelist took the girl to the Observation Restaurant of the Central Building in Rice Flower City, intending to tell her something very important."

"He did not get straight to the point, but chatted with her for a while. After a while, he felt that the atmosphere was about the same, and he was ready to say that very important sentence to the girl."

Feng Yuan paused.

"Then what?" Haiyuan Ai said, "I guess there must be something unexpected that he couldn't tell."

"Yes, the story is always so cliché," Fengyuan agreed. "Just when the words came to his lips, a scream rang through the restaurant."

A scream echoed through the restaurant.

The other side of the restaurant became chaotic and noisy as curious diners passed news to one another.

In Fengyuan's sight, Conan said a few words to Xiaolan, then got up and ran towards that side.

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at Feng Yuan in surprise.

She thought this was the story of Kudo's parents... But... was this also what Kudo expected?

"...It's just a coincidence." Fengyuan explained, without any intention of getting up. After all, "Kudo Shinichi" was there.

But it's not just a coincidence either. He just controlled the rhythm and followed the progress of Conan's side. It happened that Conan's side had almost reached the point where he was about to speak, and that's when he said this.

Feng Yuan continued to tell the story, and Haibara Ai also continued to listen. It's like nothing happened over there.

"The young mystery novelist ran out after hearing the screams and came to the elevator. He found a man in the elevator who had been shot in the forehead and fell in the elevator."

"There were no guns and no shell casings in the elevator."

"A rookie police officer who was on duty at the time thought it was a random robbery and murder. His stomach was not yet round at that time."

Feng Yuan continued, and Hai Yuan Ai subconsciously thought of the Memu Police Department.

"The young mystery novelist came to the young police officer and told him that this was not a robbery and murder. He pointed out some clues that the police had not found, which pointed to the boss of the game company where the deceased worked."

"But just when the young police officer thought the case was solved, the mystery novelist suddenly changed the subject and told him that it was actually a suicide, just to frame others."

"He designed a clever mechanism. After he was shot, his body fell back into the elevator and followed the elevator down. The gun was left upstairs under the influence of the mechanism, which became a means of framing."

"The case was solved like this. He returned to his female companion, knelt down on one knee, and said to her seriously——"

Hui Yuan Ai leaned slightly.

Feng Yuan looked at his face reflected in his ice blue eyes, and then said softly:

"ich liebe dich."

"I love you" in German.

"...Your parents are not German."

"That's pretty much it. They didn't tell me the exact words. Anyway, he proposed." Fengyuan blinked, "Here comes the dessert."
