Conan's other self

After finishing the matter at the Observation Restaurant, Haibara Ai and Maplehara returned to Dr. Agasa's home.

It was already night when I got home.

Because she was a little tired after a busy day during the day, Haiyuan Ai took a shower and got into her private space in the basement.

She didn't turn on the light.

It was dark in the basement, with only the faint light from the mobile phone screen reflecting the profile of Haihara Ai.

"Shiho."

Haiyuan Ai lay on her side on the bed, and her sister's familiar and kind voice came from the earphones.

"I have something very important to tell you next! You will be surprised."

"I think Kaedehara Sora is Kudo Shinichi!"

"Shiho, you know that, right? He is the famous high school detective and the son of Kudo Yusaku and his wife who helped me."

"If Shihozu hadn't mentioned to me that the mice reverted back to their juvenile bodies during the experiment, I wouldn't have thought of it at all. I think he should be the same way."

"I'm pretty sure! Whether it's the attitude of Kudo Yusaku and his wife towards him, or his own performance, I feel that he is Kudo Shinichi...and of course my sister's intuition."

"Listen to me, Shiho. He is really the most powerful and smartest person I have ever met! You know what? He just took one look at his sister and knew the truth..."

"He is still a very gentle person. He reminded me to leave a message for you... He also gave me the mobile phone, right?"

"Also, I have secretly inquired, and his actual age is also about the same as you! Shiho, you have been in the laboratory all day, and it's time to fall in love. If you meet him, don't miss it, right?"

"Yes." Haiyuan Ai responded softly, "I won't miss it, sister."

There was no response from the earphones. It was just a recording that her sister left on her phone that she had listened to many times.

…

The next day, Kudo Shinichi disappeared from the world again, and Edogawa Conan reappeared. The next day, Feng Yuan told Xiao Ran that he was going to the doctor's house to go camping with the young detective team, and he was able to regain his identity.

The primary school students are obviously very keen on camping. Since they have been to many nearby places, the doctor took them to a farther place this time.

In the Scarab car, Conan did not sit in the middle row with Mitsuhiko and Ayumi as usual. Instead, he slipped into the back row, pushed Maplehara to Haibara Ai's side, and whispered to Maplehara.

This was not the first time they had whispered like this. The primary school students had never noticed it, so the two of them had no psychological burden.

"By the way, where were you yesterday?" Maplehara asked Conan after taking a look at the elementary school students who were singing. Conan never showed up yesterday. Maplehara solved a very ordinary case with Uncle Maori and was fed a mouthful of dog food.

"Stay at home in a daze."

"..."

"There is no way," Conan said melancholy, "I said that to Xiaolan the night before yesterday, and I don't even know how to see her."

After solving the case that night and returning to Xiaolan, Conan finally spoke under Xiaolan's questioning.

Feng Yuan remembers this:

"Xiaolan...listen to me," Kudo Shinichi said in a serious tone, "I have a very important case to investigate, and it may take a long time..."

"But don't worry! I will definitely come back after I finish this matter! Even if I die, I will definitely come back! So... I hope you will wait for me no matter what..."

"I'm not your mother, why do I keep waiting for you?" Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied. She had just a little fantasy, thinking that Shinichi was going to confess... but he was talking about the case again...

"because I like you!"

"Huh?"

"Anyway, that's it! I just got a call saying that there was something wrong with the previous case. I'm leaving first, Xiaolan!" Kudo Shinichi said with a red face, "I'll leave you the credit card. See you later!"

…that’s just the way it is.

Because of what he said, Conan was unable to see Xiaolan during the next day even though the medicine was still taking effect, so he had to stay at home and read through Sherlock Holmes again.

"Xiaolan hasn't responded to me yet," Conan continued, looking even more melancholy, "Do you think she didn't hear me?"

These two people are really entangled...

After thinking about it, Fengyuan decided to comfort Conan.

"...You should have heard it. Yesterday, Xiaolan often laughed out loud for no apparent reason."

Conan relaxed a little, but not much.

"Wow! It's Mount Fuji!" Ayumi's voice interrupted Conan's tangled thoughts.

"So beautiful!"

"It is truly the highest mountain in Japan!"

The primary school students sighed one by one.

As the Scarab drove onto the elevated highway, Mount Fuji came into view of the primary school students. But then, the primary school students admiring Mount Fuji were distracted by other things.

"Huh? What is that?"

Ayumi's curious voice came, and Fengyuan looked over there, and what came into view were two towering buildings.

"Oh, those are the newly built twin-tower skyscrapers in Nishitama City." Dr. Agasa took a look and explained, "The elevations are 319 meters and 294 meters respectively. It is the tallest twin-tower building in Japan."

"I really want to take a look!" Yuantai said.

"Doctor!" Mitsuhiko also said, "After camping tomorrow, let's stop by and take a look when we go home, okay?"

"Hmm... This may take a long detour," Dr. Ali hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still doted on his children, "That's fine, let's go."

At noon, the primary school students met at the doctor's house and prepared to leave. However, the doctor almost forgot to bring tents and other things. Fengyuan, who had only recovered his identity in the morning, had no chance to remind them, so the group was delayed for some time.

It was almost dusk when they arrived at their destination.

Looking at the tourists in twos and threes around him, Maplehara said to Dr. Ali who was setting up a tent with him: "Doctor, there are quite a lot of people around this time."

"Yes," the doctor rubbed his head sheepishly, "I specially chose a place with more people to camp."

During the previous cave exploration, although they did not encounter any danger, the doctor was left alone in a deserted place for a long time. Dr. Ali learned from the experience and decided to make some changes.

The division of labor was still the same as before. Maplehara and Haibara Ai helped light the fire and make rice. Conan took the elementary school students to pick up scattered branches. This time they had dinner smoothly.

"I'm stuffed!"

After a while, Mitsuhiko put down his bowl as he spoke.

"Hey!" Genta next to him noticed that there were still a few grains of rice left in Mitsuhiko's bowl, "You didn't finish your meal!"

"Eh?"

"My mother said that if you leave any grain of rice behind, you will be punished by God!"

"Yes, rice is made by farmers who work hard and go through eighty-eight procedures!" Dr. Ali said.

"Eighty-eight ways?"

"Yeah!" Dr. A Li nodded, "If you take the word "rice" apart and look at it, it becomes eighty-eight!"

"Yeah?"

"that is true!"

"So, the eighty-eighth birthday is called Mi Shou," Dr. Ali said, entering the Riddler time, "Also, let me tell you by the way, the seventy-seventh birthday is called Mi Shou, and the ninety-ninth birthday is called Mi Shou. Bai Shou, do you know why seventy-seven is called Xishou?"
