The Secret of Gin [Conan]

18.

Shinichi Kudo, a high school student detective.

His father is a famous mystery novelist, and his mother is a female star who has been popular all over Japan.

It is said that this young detective once cracked the case within 10 minutes at the scene of the crime and pointed out the serious murderer. He was called the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era by the media, the savior of the Japanese police, and was a frequent visitor to the headlines of newspapers.

But that is a thing of the past.

The name Kudo Shinichi has not appeared for a long time.

— Not many people noticed this, or expressed doubts about it.

Because for the general public, whether it's a detective or a TV star, that's how they come and go.

Maybe some time ago newspapers and magazines filled the streets with these names, and when you sit at home and turn on the TV, you can hear the hosts praising them, what kind of genius is rare in 500 years, the queen who saved the ratings, and fascinated thousands of girls Prince wait.

Only more exaggerated, without the most exaggerated vocabulary to pile up without money.

Anyway, after a few months, these media will seem to suffer from amnesia again, and turn around to praise another person.

On the contrary, Kudo Shinichi's mother was a fan back then, and she still misses the cub of her goddess.

In the past, Kudo Shinichi's reports were overwhelming, so they praised the goddess at every turn, and eagerly hoped to find a recent photo of the goddess from the high school detective's report.

There is no way, who made their goddess disappear after getting married and having children!

Now that I can't pick it up, I feel very uncomfortable.

"Has Kudo Shinichi disappeared for a long time?"

"It hasn't been long, right? Is it three months or four months? He is interested in being a detective, and he doesn't collect money, let alone a policeman. How could he encounter cases every day? He is still a sophomore in high school and has to go to school."

"Really? It's less than half a year, why do I feel like it's been a long time..."

"It's too tiring. Going to and from get off work every day, being scolded by the section manager, being made things difficult by clients, I'm suffering every day, hey!"

Complaining posts in the chat room floated up, and were quickly suppressed by new content.

Even in the era of smartphones, such ancient chat rooms that require computers to log in still exist, and there are still a lot of them.

They are usually invitation-only and private, and the chats focus on common interests, ranging from groups of magicians to celebrity chat rooms and even criminal plots.

It is not difficult to invade these chat rooms.

In a dimly lit room, in front of a computer screen.

A teenager was leaning on a chair, and a program was automatically running on the screen, searching for keyword information among the vast and complicated news.

"Strange, really not! Where did 'I' go?"

His fingers paused, and he re-entered a keyword, Mao Lilan.

The first thing that jumped out was the news and photos of this girl named Mao Lilan winning the Kanto Girls High School Karate Championship, and then——

"Sleeping Kogoro? Repeatedly solving strange cases... Hey, just that uncle Maori who gambles on horses and drinks alcohol all day long? Is it true?"

The mouse paused, and the pictures were neatly arranged on the screen.

I saw a middle-aged man solving the case in a dozing posture with his head down, and in a strange posture lying sideways beside the sofa. He was surrounded by a group of policemen and suspects with terrified faces.

There are also a few lines of exaggerated color fonts next to the photo.

"Sleeping Kogoro easily solved the case again."

Immediately afterwards, what popped up was a complaint made by a TV station staff member in an online chat room.

"Detective Maori... he looks like an ordinary and lecherous middle-aged man, but when he is serious, he is really powerful. He just likes to put on a show. He snores immediately after solving the case, and ignores everyone. So the sleeping little The title of Goro was created by himself. Well, but this character design is very interesting and eye-catching, I don’t know which marketing master pointed it out..."

The teenager sitting in front of the computer was stunned and could only scratch his hair desperately.

"Bang, bang."

Someone knocked on the door.

The young man quickly turned off the computer, put on a sleepy expression, and opened the door.

"Shinichi! I knew you would stay in this hotel...why don't you go home?"

A young girl stood at the door with tears in her eyes and she covered her mouth slightly, as if trying to restrain her emotions.

A companion with brown hair and a headband beside her couldn't help it, and punched the boy heavily on the shoulder.

"Kudo Shinichi, you bastard, where did you go? Do you know that Xiaolan is very worried about you?"

"Uh, sorry, actually I..."

Kudo Shinichi raised his hand helplessly. He had two big dark circles on his face and his hair was messed up. It looked like he hadn't slept all night.His appearance startled the people outside the door, who almost thought he had been beaten.

"It's fine, I'm fine."

Kudo Shinichi was in a hurry.

When he saw his childhood sweetheart—that is, the girl Mao Lilan with tears in her eyes, he felt at a loss.

Even if the person in front of him is not the "Mao Lilan" he knows.

He came to this world inexplicably, and he didn't notice anything wrong at first, but he ran into a classmate on the road, and Kudo Shinichi knew that he had "asked for leave" and hadn't gone to class for a long time.

No, to be more precise, I have been missing for a long time.

Kudo Shinichi immediately became vigilant. Instead of going home directly, he found a hot spring hotel where his father often stayed when he was writing, and began to search for information on the Internet.

The more you search, the more confused you become.

He, high school student detective Shinichi Kudo, has been missing for half a year.

He checked the news again and again, only to realize that although the date was exactly the same, this was not the world he was in at all.

——In the Japan he lived in, there was no space station, and landmark buildings in Tokyo did not explode frequently.

The Tokyo Tower bombed the skyscrapers, the TV station bombed the Shinkansen, and even the Ferris wheel in the amusement park rolled down and smashed through the outer wall of the aquarium.

Could it be that the roadside convenience stores in this world sell bombs, and anyone can buy them?

There are also frequent homicides and potassium cyanide poisoning, which seem to happen every day in the Tokyo area. Can pharmacies sell this dangerous poison openly?

Kudo Shinyi worried that he was dead at first, but he soon discovered that someone was deliberately concealing the secret of his disappearance.

He tried to contact the familiar police, and learned that he was involved in a troublesome case, and his parents in this world lived in the United States pretending that nothing happened.

"It's an organization! That mysterious criminal organization codenamed Crow!"

Kudo Shinichi thought anxiously, it turns out that he in this world has also been hunted down by the organization, and the situation is more dangerous than he was in the past, so "he" can only be forced to leave the school anonymously, without telling Mao Lilan, and dare not often contact her.

Kudo Shinichi thought he had deduced the truth, so he was embarrassed and guilty when faced with Mao Lilan who suddenly came to him.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt a hostile gaze.

He instinctively lowered his head and saw a little boy only as tall as his own thigh.

The boy was wearing a small blue suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. With his right hand in his trouser pocket, he looked at himself seriously with a bad look.

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Does this kid look familiar?

Wait, does a child have such an expression and demeanor?

"Hey, brother Xinyi, sister Lan bought a lot of vegetables, let's go home."

The boy suddenly smiled innocently, jumped up suddenly, and grabbed Kudo Shinichi's hand tightly. His posture was like a policeman catching a criminal, and he wished he could press down on him

Shinichi Kudo, whose wrist hurts from being scratched: "..."

Subconsciously, he wanted to shake off the boy.

"Hey little brat, what are you doing?"

"Don't even try to run away!" The boy refused to let go.

"Xinyi?"

Mao Lilan was full of doubts, staring at the two people in front of her, "Don't you have a good relationship with Conan? And you, Conan, what happened to you today?"

"It's okay, we're just kidding."

The teenager and the boy scratched their hair at the same time, laughing dryly.

The next second they looked at each other, and they both saw the disgust in each other's eyes.

"Sister Lan, I'm afraid Brother Shinichi is leaving again." The boy named Conan said loudly in a sticky tone.

Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes, her face full of murderous looks.

Kudo Shinichi took a step back in fright, leaned against the door, raised his right hand and said, "No! Xiaolan...it's complicated, that..."

He desperately tried to make an excuse, but in the face of Mao Lilan's murderous intent, he obediently confessed.

"It's okay to go back, that... It's cold outside, I'll put on a coat." Kudo Shinichi took out a hat and scarf from the room, and simply covered his face.

Of course being cold is an excuse, the key is that Kudo Shinichi dare not reveal his whereabouts easily.

He knew how terrifying and difficult that organization was, and he couldn't implicate Xiaolan (no matter which world it was from), nor did he want to harm himself in this world.

Kudo Shinichi looked down and found the boy's expression of satisfaction and approval.

Hey, what is this brat satisfied with?

19.

"Kid, what do you want to do?"

Conan sneaked behind Kudo Shinichi while Mao Lilan was going to buy a ticket, and asked through gritted teeth, "I said earlier that the organization thought Kudo Shinichi was dead, and you will cause me trouble if you keep pretending to be me." of!"

"Wait, what did you say?"

Kudo Shinichi stared in shock at the boy who was not as tall as his thighs.

There was too much information in that sentence just now, and his head was about to explode.

"Who is Kidd, and... what is impersonating you?"

"Stop pretending." Conan glared at Kudo Shinichi angrily.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi finally remembered why the boy looked so familiar.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Conan's glasses.

Conan didn't expect that he jumped anxiously to hook the glasses in Shinichi Kudo's hand.

"You! Return it to me quickly, Lan is coming back!"

"..."

Kudo Shinichi maintained his petrified posture, only his mouth opened wider and wider.

——Exactly the same appearance as when I was a child, a familiar tone of voice, completely unlike a child's demeanor, and the name of Mao Lilan.

20.

In the same dim room, Gin stood in front of the table, dismantling weapon parts expressionlessly.

There is a sniper wooden warehouse and two berley towers here.

Next to it are several small throwing bombs, serrated daggers used by the battlefield military.

In ten seconds he can disassemble the wooden bins, maintain the parts, and put them all back together again.

"Crack, click."

The subtle sound of parts colliding, fast and rhythmic.

In the past, such sounds could relax Gin's spirit, and this was also the moment he enjoyed the most—they were Gin's most trusted companions.

Today, however, Gin feels distraught.

He put down the weapon parts and pressed the table with both hands anxiously.

He lowered his head and remained motionless.

Long silver hair slid down his cheeks, covering his expression and eyes.

Looks like an enraged beast.

Vigilant, violent, and extremely dangerous.

After a long time, Gin slowly stood up straight. He walked out of the room, took out a lighter in the corridor, and lit a cigarette for himself.

- The organization will be destroyed.

This is the conclusion that gin draws from that vodka and another self.

Gin never thought of the possibility of the organization being destroyed before.

In other words, he felt that this was something that was impossible to happen in a short period of time. The strength of the organization was obvious to all. Its power was like an iceberg sinking under the sea, and what the police saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

But the organization was destroyed, the other chose to flee, and the other vodka even became an office worker!

Gin can ridicule the other self as trash, or suspect that the organization in that world is too trash, but it's no fun to deceive oneself and others.

The truth is, organization is over in that world!

If visitors from another world continue to appear, but the identity of the other party is not a member of the organization, but an undercover agent in the organization, an Interpol who is hunting down the remnants of the organization...

Then the secrets of the organization have been exposed, everything from the identity of the boss, the address of the organization headquarters, the power of the organization and the list of members will all be turned into a piece of information and sent to the desks of policemen from all over the world!

--------------------

The author has something to say:

What makes a man like Gin restless, restless, and unable to control his emotions - he realizes that he may be jumping ship

Organization is the sinking ship

Although it is said that Gin is loyal to the organization, I personally think that the organization is like water. The composition of water is darkness and crime. Gin is a fish living here. He will try his best to maintain his most comfortable environment

He is not loyal to the organization, he just needs the organization

but now……

***

Shinichi Kudo, Kurosawa with short hair, Saburo Uozuka, an office worker, they come from a scientific world

So there is no medicine to make you smaller, no octopus, no helicopter shooting at the Tokyo Tower, and no Kaitou Kidd

Regarding the Kaitou Kidd, I hesitated for a while, whether to give the world over there a Kaitou who can only play magic, and then also come here to cooperate with Master Kidd in this world to steal a gem and play a shadow part|body magic

But after thinking about it for a long time, forget it

There is only one high school student, Kaito Kuroba, living with the old butler and magician father, there is no Pandora gem of immortality at all

Flip phones are still used in Japan to this day

Some large companies still send faxes to each other, only paper documents

Internet broadcasting and online payment are also difficult to develop because of the obstruction of traditional TV stations and the banking industry (their domestic chaebols or giants)

Even if the plot of the original book for more than 20 years happened within one year, there are various popular technological products of different eras, such as computer chat rooms and mobile phone chat software, flip phones and smart phones... Let me rationalize it, Kudo Shinichi wears it In the past, I didn't find something wrong at the first time.
