Conan's other self

"Where are the Doctor and Haiyuan?"

After leaving the hotel, Conan told Xiaolan to go to the doctor's house to play for a while, and then followed Fengyuan to the doctor's house to discuss things.

"Same as before." Feng Yuan replied.

The doctor and Haibara were both busy with their work and didn't even notice that he and Conan were back.

"Speaking of which..."

Conan didn't care. He sat on the sofa, put his phone on the table, and watched the video that Feng Yuan had just taken. "From this angle, I always feel that she looks familiar..."

of course…

Fengyuan didn't reply, but went to get two cans of orange juice.

"The photo I saw on Sera's phone before didn't look so familiar because of the angle..." Conan continued.

"That photo?" Fengyuan asked.

"Yes, I met Sera in a case before and accidentally saw it on her mobile phone." Conan replied, "But that feeling was deliberately shown to me by her - didn't I tell you?"

"No." Fengyuan replied, "No wonder when I said there was a young woman in the room before, you didn't react at all and just asked me what they said..."

"I just forgot. At that time, I was very worried about Mr. Amuro's affairs. And I haven't found out the true identity of that person yet! By the way, I also tried to ask Sera who that person was..."

"Then what?"

"Then she replied to me that the person was a sister outside the realm..." Conan thought again, "I haven't figured out what this means yet..."

"MI6."

"Aha?"

"That's SIS." Maplehara explained, "Sera told you before that she came back from the United States, right? The English name for sister is sister, and the English name for territory is territory——"

"The abbreviation is ter," Conan said with an astonished look, taking over what Feng Yuan said, "Then remove ter from sister, and what you get is SIS... which is the Secret Intelligence Service of the British Intelligence Agency..."

"yes."

"Why?"

"Aha?"

"I mean," Conan then showed a suspicious look. He didn't know whether he was doubting Fengyuan or himself, "Why did you think of it just after hearing it?"

It’s the other self you promised!

"...Because I happened to meet Shiliang and the others near the SIS headquarters building."

After thinking for a while, Fengyuan decided to confess.

Conan, who was sitting opposite, obviously did not understand the meaning of this sentence, and then Maplehara told him about how he and Haibara Ai disguised themselves as Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko and went to London together.

Then there was a brief silence.

"So you were the ones who gave the doctor the antidote at that time?" After calming down, Conan spoke.

"yes."

"Then Xiaolan and I are on the bridge..."

"I saw it." Fengyuan admitted honestly.

"..."

"I heard it too."

"hehe…"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you..." Fengyuan continued to defend.

Although Kudo Yukiko clearly said at the time that he would help Conan when telling Conan about the case, he did not say it, but he did not say it himself afterwards, so Maplehara was somewhat embarrassed.

"Still quibbling! Damn it! Thank you for bringing you so many gifts from the Sherlock Holmes Memorial Hall! Return them to me quickly!"

Maplehara accepted the criticism humbly and said he would do it next time.

After being depressed for a while, Conan finally got the upper hand in business, so he continued to ask:

"Then that person who looks like a junior high school student is..."

"Sera's mother." Fengyuan replied, "We also met her ten years ago. When Haiyuan and I left the hotel, she was wet and returned to the hotel wearing ill-fitting clothes, and the clothes were the same as when we met her the day before. It's the same set, of course, it may be the same model..."

"I also took medicine and became smaller..." Conan held his chin and thought for a moment, "No wonder Sera was sure that I was Kudo Shinichi when he first saw me."

"You only saw one at that time," Conan looked at Fengyuan and continued, "She hasn't thought about one person turning into two people, so Sera's mother is not divided like Haiyuan?"

"…probably."

"What did Haiyuan say?" Conan decided to ask the expert.

"I haven't told her yet."

"Aha?"

"At that time, I was the only one who saw Sera's mother after she became smaller."

"...You actually hid this from your own Huiyuan."

"You just said you thought she looked familiar, right?" Maplehara reached out and took Conan's phone from the table, then clicked on the video and paused it until he could see Akai Marie's face from a good angle.

Then he took out his mobile phone, pulled up the photo of Haihara Ai he had taken, and then put the two mobile phones together.

Conan was slightly stunned.

"If this is not clear yet," Maplehara said. After backing up the photo, he edited the photo again and put a line of eye shadow under the corner of Haibara Ai's eyes to match Akai Mari.

"Exactly the same..." Conan murmured.

"She and Haibara may be related, but there is no way to confirm it yet. I want to wait until it is confirmed." Fengyuan paused slightly, "And, as you know, Akai Shuichi and Sister Akei dated for a while. "

…

after a while.

On this day, the young detective team took the doctor to a nearby park to do morning exercises, and then returned to the doctor's house together. On the way back, the doctor mysteriously told the pupils good news.

"Ah, dining coupons?"

"Did you win again?"

"Your luck is still as good as ever!"

After hearing the good news from the doctor, the primary school students praised the doctor one by one.

"Then I will take you today..." the doctor said, "to the high-end restaurant on the top floor of Mihua Department Store to have a luxurious high-end lunch!"

"great!"

"It's too early for you to be happy now!" The doctor shook his finger again, "There is still something worth being happy waiting for you!"

"what is it?"

"Tell us now!"

"That won't work, keep it a secret for now!"

The doctor walking in front was chatting with the elementary school students. Maplehara, who was lagging behind, yawned and continued to talk to Conan and Haibara about what Conan had met a few days ago:

"So Sera herself told you that she is Akai's sister?"

"Yeah, but what she originally said was Brother Xiu."

A few days ago, Sonoko had a whim and wanted to start a band with Xiaolan, Sera and Miss Azusa. Sera Masumi also met with Toru Amuro.

Conan felt that they should have met before.

"Speaking of which," Conan said, "Why do you keep yawning? It's just like -"

He looked at Hui Yuan Ai, who was across Feng Yuan from him, and noticed that Hai Yuan Ai was not only yawning, but also had some dark circles under his eyes.

"With what?" Fengyuan yawned simultaneously.

"I said, you two didn't sleep last night, right?" Conan asked doubtfully.

"A cockroach suddenly appeared before going to bed last night," Haihara Ai yawned again, "Kudo and I fought with it for a long time..."

"Y-really?"

"It didn't take long, it was solved very quickly," Fengyuan explained, "At that time..."

At that time——

"What's wrong, Haiyuan?"

Hearing some strange noises in the living room, Fengyuan climbed up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, put on a coat, left the room and came to the living room.

In the living room, Haihara Ai, who had obviously slept very late, was half-crouching on the floor with a rolled-up magazine and looking under the cabinet.

"cockroach."

"Huh?" Fengyuan immediately became more energetic.

"There's a cockroach!" Hui Yuan Ai stood up from the floor and said angrily, "I was just about to go to bed when I noticed a cockroach running past me!"

"Why are there cockroaches!"

"How do I know!" Hui Yuan Ai said dissatisfied, "Aren't you a detective? Why haven't you noticed it?"

"Hey hey..."

"But since you're awake, come over quickly and help eliminate it."

"It's so late, why don't you invite me tomorrow -"

"No! Thinking about it still crawling around makes me so uncomfortable that I can't sleep!" Haiyuan Ai put his left hand on his waist and waved the rolled magazine with his right hand, "We must destroy it tonight!"

"…Wait for me then."

"ah?"

"I'll get the props."

"Props?" Haihara Ai asked curiously, "You don't have any pesticides at home, right? And I doubt whether pesticides are effective..."

"It's not a pesticide, you'll know later..."

Haiyuan Ai watched Feng Yuan return to the bedroom, and then stared at the cabinet beside him warily. A few seconds later, she heard Fengyuan come back again, still holding in his hand——

"Anesthesia needle gun!?"

"Yeah..." Feng Yuan nodded, "Even members of the organization like Pisco can't deal with something, so it should be no problem to deal with cockroaches, right?"

"..." Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but want to complain, but then he found the cockroach running out from the gap between the cabinet and the wall, so he subconsciously shouted, "Quick, Kudo——"

The next moment, the cockroach stopped moving.

Maplehara put away the pistol and blew out the non-existent smoke at the muzzle.

"Ah, Mr. Detective is really reliable. Did you learn this in Hawaii?" Haibara Ai asked, crossing his arms.

"yes…"

"However," Hui Yuan Ai then changed the topic, "The question now is, why are there cockroaches?"

——Time returns to the present.

"But generally speaking, when you find one cockroach in the house, it means there are many more..."

"So we did a general cleaning..." Haiyuan Ai yawned again.

"But the effect is average. After cleaning for a long time, Haiyuan and I didn't find another cockroach. Instead, we found the food that the doctor had hidden before but had forgotten." Fengyuan also yawned again, "But I still I made an appointment with a professional pest control company and they will come tomorrow..."

"It's just a cockroach, why are you making such a fuss..." Conan couldn't help but complain after hearing the story.

"Speaking of which, I've seen it before," Fengyuan immediately countered, "Your living environment is not very good. Be careful that there are cockroaches..."

"There's nothing I can do about it, it's all uncle's fault!" Conan defended as he laid the floor in Uncle Maori's room. "Empty beer bottles and all kinds of garbage were scattered everywhere. No matter how hard I cleaned it up, there was nothing left. There is no way...but the doctor seems to be quite energetic..."

"Of course." Haiyuan Ai said, glancing at the doctor who was walking in front, "When we were fighting in the living room, the doctor's snoring never stopped. He was so carefree..."

Back at the doctor's house, the elementary school students also helped to clean up the areas that Maplehara and Haibara Ai failed to finish last night, and then they went to the Rice Krispies Department Store for lunch.

Because it was close to Christmas, the place was crowded and there were Christmas decorations everywhere.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

“There are so many Christmas decorations in the mall!”

"It's so exciting!"

The primary school students looked around at the decorations excitedly, and a staff member dressed as Santa Claus gave them a balloon. But soon Ayumi's attention was attracted by something else not far away.

"Haiyuan!" Ayumi excitedly pulled Haiyuan Ai and ran two steps in that direction, "Look, look! That's putting on makeup!"

There were two female staff there applying makeup to a female guest sitting on a chair.

"Yes, it's a live demonstration sale of cosmetics..." Haihara Ai was also interested, "It seems to be mascara."

"It's so beautiful..." Ayumi showed an envious expression, as if there were roots under her feet, she kept standing there watching.

"Want to give it a try?" Hui Yuan Ai asked after thinking for a while.

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"It's a demo sale anyway. If you just try it out, it should be fine."

With that said, Hui Yuan Ai walked over there. Ayumi followed him expectantly.

But they were rejected.

"No?" Haihara Ai was a little unhappy. She looked dissatisfied at the staff in front of her who rejected them, while Ayumi carefully hid behind her and exposed half of her head, a little nervous, "Aren't we guests?"

"Oh, if it were your mother..."

"It's my mother who wants to buy it," Fengyuan heard the commotion and came over. "She couldn't come because she had something to do at home, so she asked us to come and help..."

"Y-really?"

"Then just give them a makeup as soon as possible..." Another staff member whispered in this staff member's ear, "As long as it can be sold, it's all the same..."

"Okay, okay..."

The makeup artist did not refuse, so Haihara Ai and Ayumi, who looked happy, sat on the chairs one after another.

Since they were just trying to apply mascara, the two elementary school students finished putting on their makeup after a while.

"How, how is it?" Ayumi turned to look at everyone.

"Does it look different?" Haihara Ai did the same.

"Yes, yes..." the doctor responded.

"So, so beautiful..."

The elementary school boys' eyes were a little straight.

The two of them looked a little more mature after putting on makeup, but it was quite limited and just gave people a different style. Feng Yuan looked at it twice and walked over to pay the bill.

"Did you really buy it?" Haihara Ai still seemed to have some objections to the staff member, "That guy is so outrageous, I don't want to buy it..."

"It's okay, it's not expensive..." Feng Yuan explained in a low voice, "And you can take it back to practice your cross-dressing skills."

Haibara Ai then went to the bathroom with Ayumi to take off her makeup, and then they took the elevator to the restaurant on the top floor for lunch.

It's a high-end restaurant, and the food is really good.

After Genta, who was the last to call it a day, finished eating, the primary school students couldn't help but continue the previous topic.

"Then what?" Genta exhaled, touched his bulging belly, and then looked at the doctor, "What on earth is it? Doctor..."

"Didn't you say there is another good thing?" Mitsuhiko also echoed.

"What is it exactly?"

"Hmph, actually..."

The doctor paused for a moment, then took out another coupon from his pocket, "In addition to this meal coupon, I also won a shopping coupon for this department store!"

"Wow!"

"Christmas is coming soon, right? I have 10,000 yen of shopping vouchers here to buy you gifts..."

The doctor said, looking at the coupons in his hand proudly. When he turned around, he was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Where are the children, the children?"

Feng Yuan gestured towards the door.

Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were already walking outside together, chatting excitedly about the gifts they wanted.

"I've always wanted that astronomical telescope..." Mitsuhiko said.

"I want a baseball glove and a bat!" This is Genta.

"Ayumi wants a big, big doll!"

"Ah, um..." Seeing the elementary school students walking out, the doctor couldn't help but look at the coupon in his hand again, "I only won 10,000 yen..."

"Doctor, you know Yuanta and the others' temperaments but you still said this," Fengyuan said. "It shows that you actually don't mind them choosing such expensive things..."

"Hey hey..."

"Ah, does Mr. Detective understand my temperament?" Haibara Ai also left her seat and looked at Fengyuan.

"...I remember the store selling designer bags is on the first floor." Fengyuan also left his seat, "Well, doctor, we're going there too."

"Really, really, even you..." the doctor said, and then looked at Conan who was still in his seat, "Conan is better..."

"Because what I want can't be bought here," Conan replied casually to the doctor, "It would be great if World Cup tickets were sold here."

"..."

While they were talking, there was some unusual movement from the table behind them. Conan looked back.

There was a couple dining, and a middle-aged man who looked like a chef seemed to be chatting with them. But it wasn't this that caught Conan's attention, but another chef trotting over.

"Chef!" he shouted, but not loudly.

"Um?"

"The customer who complained last time called again..."

"Ah, is that the one with the strange voice?" the head chef asked.

"He said he would come to this mall today and wanted to tell you something in person..."

"But if that customer comes in and makes a fuss, it will be difficult." The head chef hesitated for a moment, "Tell him that if he has something to say, he can come back to the store in thirty minutes." See you next to the stairs..."

…

Tens of minutes later, on the first floor.

"Speaking of which," Fengyuan looked at Haibara Ai, who was holding Fu Shahui's latest bag and observing carefully, "I remember that you used to like Prada..."

"Please support Ms. Fushae," Haibara Ai replied, "And this brand also has many affordable styles, so it is more popular. I also like this..."

"Then...do you want this?"

"Ah, Mr. Detective, do you want to give it to me? But, they won't sell it to kids like us, right?"

"You really hold a grudge..." Fengyuan complained. Haibara Ai was obviously still brooding over the fact that he and Ayumi were rejected by the makeup artist. "I can ask the doctor for help..."

Of course he paid for it himself.

Even leaving aside the funds used to fight the organization, he has also made a lot of gains in the stock market.

"Forget it, let's wait another day," Hui Yuan Ai hesitated and put the bag back, "If the doctor comes to help, he will also have to buy it for the children..."

Whether or not to buy expensive gifts for the children is the doctor's own business, and she doesn't want this to affect the doctor's choice.

As she was speaking, she heard her detective badge ring.

Maplehara's too.

Noticing that Feng Yuan had already picked up the detective badge, Haibara Ai did not pick up her own badge. She just moved closer to Feng Yuan and listened with him.

Conan's anxious voice came from inside.

"Someone was stabbed in the restaurant street on the tenth floor just now!"
