Conan's other self

"So high!"

"You can't see the top."

Standing in front of the entrance to the twin skyscrapers, elementary school students looked up and sighed.

The same was true for Feng Yuan. He also felt that the two buildings in front of him were quite spectacular. It's just that buildings like the twin skyscrapers sound very unlucky, so it's better to avoid them less often.

Thinking like this, a taxi stopped not far in front of them. Under the curious eyes of everyone, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko got out.

"Conan?"

Xiaolan looked around the surroundings and noticed the people standing nearby at a glance.

The two groups of people met together like this.

The twin skyscrapers will be officially put into use next week, and the owner of the building, Mio Tokiwa, was Uncle Maori's schoolgirl in college. She specially invited Uncle Maori to come and visit.

Since Tokiwa Mio is still single, Xiaolan, who is worried, drags her best friend Suzuki Sonoko along with her, and happens to bump into the doctor and the young detective team who are here to observe.

Ayumi and others had not met Suzuki Sonoko yet, so Xiaolan helped introduce her.

During the introduction, a young and beautiful woman walked out of the building and asked Uncle Maori:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Moori Kogoro?"

"it's me."

"Hello, I am the secretary of the chairman. My name is Zeguchi. The chairman is still receiving customers. Please follow me to the showroom first."

The Tokiwa Foundation obviously doesn't care how many guests they entertain, and Uncle Mori certainly won't specifically remind them. Taking advantage of Uncle Maori, Dr. A Li followed Feng Yuan and others.

"Building A here belongs to the office area," Secretary Sawaguchi introduced as he led the way. "Everything above the 31st floor belongs to the Tokiwa Foundation. The showrooms are located on the second and third floors."

"What kind of company is Tokiwa Group?" Ayumi asked curiously while standing on the escalator.

"Mainly doing computer software," said Mitsuhiko, who is a true elementary school student and quite knowledgeable. "But as long as it is related to computers, he can do it all at Tokiwa Group."

"I remember that Sindora Company, which you tried to acquire shares in before, also did this?" Haibara Ai, who always came last, whispered to Fengyuan.

"Yes." Fengyuan replied, "But there are some differences in business."

Sindora Company has recently been developing virtual reality games. A few days ago, it hired Kudo Yusaku to write the script for one of the games. Kudo Yukiko told Maplehara about this on the phone.

Here we were chatting about something that had nothing to do with the Tokiwa Foundation, and over there we were led to the exhibition room by Secretary Sawaguchi.

There were many undisclosed devices from the Tokiwa Foundation in the showroom, which dazzled everyone.

A man named Yuan Jiaming, who is also a company director and game engineer, took everyone to visit several game devices he invented.

The schoolchildren soon noticed a strange machine.

"What's this?"

"Is it an amusement machine?"

"Would you like to give it a try?" Yuan Jiaming came over, "This computer can predict facial expressions ten years from now."

"Ten years later?" Dr. Ali was also curious, "It's really amazing!"

"Doctor, come and play!" Ayumi said to the doctor.

"Welcome," Yuan Jiaming made an invitation gesture, "Then, please take your seats."

The appearance of the machine is like a virtual game cabin. Sitting on the seat inside, you can get a picture of what it will look like ten years from now as if you were being photographed.

There are two seats.

Dr. Agasa and Ayumi sat in together, and the results came out quickly. Judging from the photos, Dr. Ali will look almost exactly the same ten years later as he does now, with no discernible difference.

Ten years later, Ayumi is a very cute female high school student.

The next Genta and Mitsuhiko also have obvious features. You can tell it's them at a glance. In terms of body shape, one of them looks like gin and the other looks like vodka.

Then came Xiaolan and Yuanzi.

Yuanzi is like a rich lady. As for Xiaolan…

"So beautiful!" Ayumi exclaimed as she helped retrieve the photo.

"Oh...she looks exactly like Yingli when she was young." Uncle Maori also came over to take a look.

Conan, who came closer, had a shy expression on his face.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Huiyuan Ai asked Fengyuan.

"No need," Fengyuan replied, "Uncle Maori said that Aunt Fei Yingli, Xiaolan's mother, looks exactly the same... I have some impression."

Hui Yuan Ai was thoughtful.

Kudo's memory is clearer than Edogawa's memory, and the difference is more obvious in the long-term part. This was something she had learned about before, but she still found it a bit unbelievable.

Several people over there, led by Suzuki Sonoko, began to make fun of Xiaolan and Shinichi. Conan stood aside with a red face, which attracted Uncle Mouri's attention. Only then did everyone remember that the game would continue.

"Then next are Conan, Maplehara and Haibara..."

"Only two people can sit at one time, Genta!"

"Huh? If that happens, won't one of you be left alone?"

"There's also Uncle Maori!"

"I don't want to see my face ten years from now," Uncle Maori refused, pulling Conan and Fengyuan over, "Anyway, one person can start the machine, so let these two brats try it first."

"feed me--"

Conan struggled. What he will look like ten years from now is undoubtedly Kudo Shinichi.

"Yes!" Xiao Lan also looked expectantly, "I wonder if Conan and Xiao Kong will still look exactly the same ten years from now!"

"They must all be like your husband!" Yuanzi said, "I'm so envious of you, Xiaolan~"

"Sonoko! What are you talking about!"

Amid the frolicking over there, Maplehara was held down in his seat by Uncle Mouri without any needless struggle like Conan.

He remembered that the machine here would report errors. And even if he were to see what he would look like ten years from now, he felt there was nothing to worry about.

After all, Conan will be Kudo Shinichi's face just like him. It's incredible for a high school student to turn into a child, let alone one person turning into two people.

On the contrary, Maplehara was quite looking forward to the results that the machine could give.

Unfortunately, the machine soon issued an error message.

"Wrong?" Yuan Jiaming was a little surprised, "It's strange."

"Huh?" Ayumi showed a disappointed expression, "Ayumi wants to see what Conan and Maplehara will look like when they grow up."

"And Haiyuan hasn't tried it yet..."

"Since the machine is malfunctioning," Haiyuan Ai replied casually, "then I don't have to try it, right?"

But there was no time to continue playing at this time. Secretary Sawaguchi, who had just answered the phone over there, came over and asked everyone to go to the venue on the 75th floor.

Everyone ended their visit and followed her to meet Mio Tokiwa.

"It's a pity," Hui Yuan Ai said in a low voice as he continued to walk at the end, "I really want to see what you will look like ten years from now."

"Conan and I were the same after we transformed back," Fengyuan replied, "Didn't you just meet us the day before yesterday?"

"That's Edogawa, not you."

"Then we'll have to wait until next time, if we still need to test the medicine." Fengyuan replied, "Let's go, they are about to enter the elevator."

Obviously, you can't take the escalator to the 75th floor. They took the VIP-only sightseeing elevator upstairs.

Not only is the power supply of the sightseeing elevator individually controlled, it is also suspended outside the building. Standing in it, you can see the scenery outside from the elevator. In Ayumi's words, it's like heading to heaven step by step.

The venue for the opening ceremony is being arranged on the 75th floor. It looks a bit messy. Mio Tokiwa is entertaining guests here.

One of them was Mio Tokiwa's painting teacher, a Japanese painting painter named Minesui Kisaragi who was famous for his paintings of Mount Fuji.

The other one was Nishitama City Councilor Oki Iwamatsu, who looked drunk and smelled of alcohol.

The last one is the building’s designer Hidehiko Kazama. It is worth mentioning that he is a disciple of the famous architect Teiji Moriko who once tried to detonate the Popcorn Municipal Building.

Mio Tokiwa introduced it to Uncle Mouri.

The elementary school students were not interested in the adults' socializing and quickly started running around. Then they noticed that from the floor-to-ceiling windows on this floor, they could completely see Mount Fuji.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side, you can see the top of Building B, which is a dome-like building.

"Speaking of which," Fengyuan said to Haibara Ai next to him while looking at the scenery outside the window, "I haven't seen what you look like when you grow up."

Although she knew that Ai Haihara would be Miyano Shiho when she grew up, Miyano Akemi did not leave any photos of Miyano Shiho, and Ai Haihara had not yet returned to her original self.

Haiyuan Ai looked at Fengyuan with some surprise.

"satyr."

"...Why is this a pervert?"

"Hmph," Haiyuan Ai turned his head and looked away, "Mr. Detective, do you really want to see what I will look like when I grow up?"

"Yes," Fengyuan admitted frankly, "I really want to see it."

"Then... we can only wait until next time."

The two of them stood by the window and talked, and Xiaolan on the other side looked at it and felt a little relieved.

Although these two were just children, she still felt that the scene in front of her was quite endearing...

So good...

Xiaolan thought in her mind, and then was interrupted by a pleading voice.

While she was distracted, Mitsuhiko had already left the French window and came to her side.

"Sister Xiaolan," Mitsuhiko looked hesitant and his voice was very low, "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we meet tomorrow?"

"Eh?" Xiaolan, who was a little distracted just now, was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted, "Yeah, okay!"

"Thank you! I'll tell you the time and place later."

Watching Mitsuhiko politely bow to her and walk away, Xiaolan felt a little curious.

What does this kid want to say to me?

By the way, Shinichi looked almost like this that day...

That guy Shinichi ran away after saying a word, leaving her not knowing how to reply to him...

"Sister Xiaolan."

"Huh?" Xiaolan, whose thoughts were interrupted again, looked down and found that this time it was the child named Bumi.

"Sister Xiaolan," Ayumi looked hesitant and kept her voice low, "I have something I want to discuss with you in private."
