Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"In fact, except for the new transfer student, Busujima Yako, my three friends who have been with me since childhood all know—"

Conan explained with an awkward smile on his face.

Who made him see them in a coma with his clothes on after his body became smaller? Moreover, since he was seen, Conan did not think of hiding it at that time.

"It's a miracle that you can still live until now! Apart from them!" Hattori Heiji looked at Conan with surprise.

Conan's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that he had exposed so much inadvertently. "No one else should know about this, except maybe my parents!"

If you count carefully, there are actually quite a few people who know his true identity, after all, there are his parents and Professor Agasa.

However, what Conan didn't know was that even Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki in the Mouri Detective Agency where he was staying knew about this.

From beginning to end, he was the only one who had no idea how many people knew his secret.

"Okay, I get it! So it's no big deal to discover your disguise, kid~"

Hattori Heiji sighed helplessly. He originally thought that this was a secret that only he had discovered. After all, Conan had even pretended to be a child in front of everyone before.

"But I never thought you could act like a child even though you know that several people know your true identity. Aren't you afraid that this will become your dark history one day?"

Conan didn't even raise his eyes to Hattori Heiji's complaints, and answered directly: "If I can change back, then who says this is my black history? If I can't change back, then I'm a real child, and it's normal for me to say that, isn't it?"

I——Kudo Shinichi!

Even though I've become a kid now, it doesn't mean I've completely lost the defenses of a high school student.

Whether I can ever return to my old self has nothing to do with my behavior as a child.

If I really can't change back to my original state, then I have become a child in every sense of the word.

What does it matter if I look like a child now? I can even become more childish!

If I could go back in time, the camera function of mobile phones in my era was not clear enough, let alone such clear video recording function.

If your phone or other device can take such a clear picture, it must not be me! After all, although I looked similar to him when I was a child, we lived in different times.

Even though everyone around me must know the truth, as long as I refuse to admit it, even if others see it, they will only think that this is a relative of Kudo Arata's family.

The two joked with each other for a while, but ultimately did not continue the conversation in depth.

After all, Suzuki Sonoko and the others are right next to them. It would be troublesome if Conan's identity was really exposed to irrelevant people.

The drug that can rejuvenate people is the dream of many wealthy people and political strongmen!

However, how many people can achieve it?

Now, this dream has become a reality in the hands of that mysterious organization.

Although this reality is somewhat unstable, even to the point of being used as poison, in any case, at least in theory, this possibility has been successfully opened up by that organization.

Although Hattori Heiji is also a high school detective, his father is the chief of the Osaka Police Headquarters, so he knows a thing or two about some things within the system.

Hattori Heiji dared to assert that although the organization seemed arrogant and domineering now, its internal affairs had probably already become the focus of attention of other countries, and even the bureaucrats of this country would never let it go easily.

We can only pray that Kudo doesn't expose himself to other unrelated people. Otherwise, we may have to ask the Suzuki family to protect him.

You know, if there was no guarantee from a large conglomerate like the Suzuki Group, even if his father was the chief of the Osaka Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji would never dare to trouble his father to secure Kudo Shinichi.

After all, those who take action at that time are often the super-large conglomerates in those countries, and to those large conglomerates, a small chief of a police headquarters, even a national police headquarters like the one in Tokyo, is not worth mentioning at all.

Once you take action, you will be courting death. Even when you have this thought, officials from the police department will come down to talk to you immediately.

On this side, Hattori Heiji and Conan finally calmed down, and on the other side, the conversation between Matsumoto Akira and Mouri Ran also ended, and everyone gathered together again.

They followed the crowd towards the bonfire party, and everything seemed to be back to the way it was before.

However, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have been brought closer to Dokujima Yako in some way. Since even Suzuki Sonoko, a young lady, was like this, then Toyama Kazuha would naturally not be able to escape Dokujima Yako's "claws".

And on the other side——

Fast forward a bit in time, Shimabukuro Kimie was in the mountains above the waterfall. She had privately made an appointment with Kaihara Nami to meet here.

As the shrine maiden who shot the dugong arrow, it was not difficult for Shimabukuro Kimie to ask Kaihara Nami out because of her special status.

Kaihara Nami and her other two friends have long believed in the legend of mermaids, even to the point of obsession, and are determined to obtain the dugong's arrow.

Taking advantage of this, Shimabukuro Kimie easily asked her out.

As agreed, Nami Kaihara arrived at the top of the waterfall, but did not see Shimabukuro Kimie.

She was really bored, so she walked to the river, kicking stones carelessly while waiting for someone anxiously.

The bonfires in the distance were already burning brightly, and the largest bonfire was still quietly waiting for the night of the Mermaid Festival to arrive.

Shimabukuro Kimie tiptoed out from behind the tree, her eyes full of complexity, as if she was in a fierce struggle. Finally, she slowly stretched out her hand.

However, what was unexpected was that Kaihara Nami, who was kicking stones happily just now, suddenly seemed to realize something and turned her head abruptly.

"Oh, you're here, Jun Hui! Why didn't you remind me? I almost didn't notice you--"

Before Kaihara Nami could finish her words, she felt a powerful force coming from Shimabukuro Kimie opposite her.

Her body involuntarily leaned back, her eyes widened, and she seemed to have no idea what was happening.

After pushing Kaihara Nami down, Shimabukuro Kimie felt relieved and relaxed. In fact, she originally planned to strangle the other person with a rope.

But due to an unexpected change, Shimabukuro Kimie finally chose another way, which was to push Kaihara Mei down.

Although this will not kill people, because the water below the waterfall is neither too deep nor too shallow, it is deep enough for people to touch the bottom without falling to death immediately.

Sure enough, after a while, Shimabukuro Kimie heard a puzzled voice coming from Kaihara Nami below.
