I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Beep beep beep." It was still nine o'clock in the morning. Bai Li was about to go out to Dr. Agasa's house to continue building the car when he heard a beeping sound from his cell phone.

He was a lone ranger in his previous life, so nowadays, there aren’t many guys in his phone list.

The message came from the second person on the special attention list, one of Bai Li’s few friends since coming to this world.

"Hao Da'er? Shouldn't he be in class at this time? Or has he skipped classes again?" Bai Li smiled, wondering if the boy would be expelled from Teitan Elementary School for skipping classes too many times - if that happened, he would be able to laugh at him for a while.

"There's a new transfer student in school."

"Oh, so what?" Bai Li originally wanted to reply like this, but then he thought of an interesting way to say it. "Haha, my son, you are so keen to share your happy elementary school life with your father. Your father is very happy, but you still hope that you will listen carefully and become a promising person in the future."

Conan on the other end of the phone hadn't sent a message yet, and Bai Li could already imagine the funny look of that elementary school student getting furious.

"I won't argue with you anymore. I think there's something wrong with her." Conan rarely got into a verbal fight. "I don't think she's an ordinary first-grade student."

"Oh? She, a girl?" Bai Li became slightly interested.

It’s not about the girl herself, but, would this kid Conan also pay attention to other girls?

Bai Li privately thought that if he cut open that boy's head, he would find it filled with orchids.

"Yeah, and he even asked me to be his deskmate, even though Yuantai's seat was vacant."

"Are you showing off to me, you guy? What's so great about being chosen as a desk mate by a girl?" Bai Li's fingers were pressing hard on the screen.

"Huh? I mean..."

"Wait, transfer student? I understand, I understand." Bai Li tapped his head with a look of sudden enlightenment.

She rolled her eyes and decided to go to Dr. Agasa's house to test the waters first. Then, she thought of some interesting things.

"Hey, what do you know now? Tell me!" Conan was anxious. He originally sent a message to Bai Li just to get some information from this dishonest god.

He waited expectantly and nervously for another 10 seconds, then saw Bai Li's white cat avatar turn gray.

"This damn son!!!!" Conan cursed out loud in anger.

"It's not good to send irrelevant messages during class." His desk mate reminded him in an indifferent and even smiling tone.

"Heh." Conan, who was in a bad mood, didn't give a good look to the girl next to him.

"Ah, I'm not trying to warn you - but the whole class is looking at you."

"Edogawa Conan! You're playing with your cell phone in class! Confiscate it!"

"I'm sorry, woooooo!"

The cell phone is his lifeblood, even the secret of being Kudo Shinichi is in it!

"Oh, you're really a child."

Conan twitched his lips, glanced at the brown-haired girl next to him with an indifferent look, and thought to himself: "I'm talking about you, not the same."

. . .

After that, Bai Li never came online again, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Thanks to her, Conan felt itchy all day long. He took out his cell phone from time to time and stared at the gray and white cat avatar in a daze.

Even the brown-skinned girl at the same table was curious. She leaned over and glanced at Conan's hand hanging under the table: "Bai Li?"

"Ahhh! Hey! What are you doing? Is it polite of you to look at other people's phones?" Conan hugged the phone angrily and covered the screen tightly with both hands.

Although he gets along well with Bai Li and his son all day long, Conan still takes the secrets involving Bai Li very seriously.

"Oh, isn't it just some elementary school student staring at his phone absentmindedly? It's really curious." The brown girl flipped her hair, turned her head, and stared at Conan straight, "Also, my name is not Hello, my name is Huiyuan Ai."

"Anyway, stop staring at my phone." Conan sighed. Elementary school students this age are really more difficult than the other. "Got it, Huibara-san?"

I saw that Huiyuan classmate's eyes moved, as if he had thought of a good way to play a prank: "Hey, Bai Li, who is it? Seeing that Edogawa classmate is so concerned, could it be - a girl he likes?"

She deliberately held her throat and used a very sweet and lovely voice.

But Conan felt like dying: "No way! She, she's just my buddy!"

"She?" Huiyuan couldn't help laughing. She thought this famous high school detective was very interesting, but now...

More interesting.

The young detective team playing nearby couldn't stand it anymore. Didn't they notice that Conan was acting strange today?

Even my favorite football topic couldn't make that guy turn his neck, as if there was a vixen living in his phone for a thousand years.

Ayumi then ran over angrily, put her hands on her hips, and slapped Conan's desk with great force.

The pencils randomly placed on the table were shaken: "Conan! Stop having thoughts about other people's girlfriends! This, this is not right!"

"No, I..." Conan's scalp tingled, and he was about to explain when the next master interrupted his spell.

"Yes, Conan, and Sister Bai likes girls, so there will definitely be no result between you and her!" Mitsuhiko's words were well-reasoned and convincing.

"So..." Conan was going crazy.

"Conan, I won't forgive you." Yuantai can't say anything to persuade people to be good, but he can convince people with reason.

Looking at Yuanta's fist as big as a sandbag, Conan raised the white flag: "I know."

These troublemakers were even less obedient than netizens, so he had no choice but to obey them.

"That's right, Conan, this is a good boy." Ayumi touched Conan's head, feeling relieved like a mother.

Huibara laughed sadly. These guys were much more interesting than she had originally thought.

. . .

After school, the depressed Conan wanted to run to Professor Agasa's house to find Bai Li and find out what happened, but now he could only reluctantly follow the group of four people to the home of another little kid.

Yes, there were four of them, and the peeping classmate Huibara was among them.

From the looks of it, it seems that he has a deep interest in the so-called Junior Detective Team - after all, he is just a child.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Conan unconsciously imitated the habit of his good partner Mr. Jotaro to express his helpless mood at the moment.

There is a high probability that there will be another troublemaker in the Boy Detective Team in the future.

What sin had he committed to deserve being associated with these guys?

"Conan! Look! These are the latest football shoes. I heard they are international limited edition!" Yuanta said while holding the shoes.

"Uh..." Conan sighed, "I said, don't get confused and mess things up."

They clearly wanted to come and investigate, but they always forgot their mission—after all, they are just children.

"Ahem, actually, this is also a clue. At least from it we can know that Boyne's brother is a football fan and is also interested in luxury goods."

It sounds like it makes sense, but the person involved is here, so...

"Mr. Boyne, is your brother like this?"

"No, my brother doesn't usually pay attention to football. This pair of sneakers is a gift from my uncle in the United States. I have a pair too."

Yeah, it is true.

Conan chuckled and said, "Go find Boin's wallet, ID card, bus card, etc."

"But, Conan, didn't you tell us not to mess this place up?" Mitsuhiko retorted.

"I think Edogawa-san probably wants to see if these things are there, so as to determine the circumstances of Boingo's disappearance?" said Haibara Ai, who had been quietly observing everyone.

"Yes... yes." Conan nodded in surprise, looking at the brown girl with a faint smile.

This kid... has something!

By the way, I forgot to mention before that the reason why Conan accompanied a few children on the investigation was because the incident being investigated was of great importance.

This is a missing persons case that the police have already intervened in, but to no avail.

After school, Yuantai found a power of attorney in the shoe cabinet, asking for help in finding his missing brother.

"ID card, wallet, all here!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi held up the evidence they found.

Conan nodded, but his expression became more serious: "In this case, your brother definitely did not run away from home, and suicide is also ruled out."

Mitsuhiko continued: "He disappeared nearby."

"Well, it's likely that he was kidnapped by someone nearby, but why..."

Until now, we have not received any demand plan from the kidnappers. What is the value of a man being kidnapped?

He doesn’t look like that brat who is just a bit good-looking—damn it, what is he thinking!

The image of the cute little girl who deserved a beating appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. He scratched his hair irritably: "Hey, classmate Boyne, don't you have any more clues? For example, who did your brother contact before..."

"Hahaha, what is this? It's so weird." Ayumi crawled out from under the bed at some point, and brought out a bunch of unsightly scenes.

What can’t be seen under a high school student’s bed? Perhaps there is no need to elaborate: “I’m telling you guys, don’t look into other people’s private matters…”

Conan was stunned when he said this, he wanted to protect the innocence of Boingo who was also a high school student, but he didn't expect that those 'works' were not what he imagined.

"Picasso....."

Without exception, they were all paintings by Picasso—imitations, of course, the kind that would open your eyes at first sight.

However, this kind of painting skills is already very good.

"Those were painted by my brother. He often exhibits his paintings online. Last week, he exhibited a painting by Natsume Soseki in a gallery, and only one woman praised his painting."

Could it be...

"Hey, did your brother tell you what that woman was like?"

"My brother told me that because that woman left a deep impression on him, she wore a pointed black hat and was dressed in black..."

"What!!!!" Conan screamed.

This is terrible, did I accidentally touch some incredible copy!!!
