"Conan, what are we doing? Was that Ms. Okino Yoko just now?"

"Yeah, yeah, Conan, isn't that right?" Mitsuhiko chimed in from the side, pushing up his glasses and his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Conan felt a wave of helplessness as he faced these three guys, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, "I'm really fed up with you guys!"

On the surface, he tried his best to remain calm, nodded and said, "Yes, that was indeed Ms. Yoko Okino."

It's all Professor Agasa's fault. He said that now that he's a child, he should go to school to avoid arousing suspicion and revealing his true identity.

With no other option, Conan had to bite the bullet and begin his elementary school life.

"Are you kidding me? I'm a high school student, and you're making me go to elementary school!" Conan complained inwardly as he slumped helplessly onto the table, frantically rubbing his head.

He felt that these days were like an eternity, and he also had to endure the harassment of a group of little brats.

After finally getting through school, Conan was about to head to Professor Agasa's house to ask about any new developments regarding the Black Organization when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him:

"Let's go back together, Conan!"

Conan turned around and saw Ayumi and her two henchmen, Mitsuhiko and Genta, running towards him.

"You must be very shy since you just transferred here, right? We'll be your friends!"

Ayumi warmly took Conan's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.

"Hehe, no need!"

"Please, how could a dignified high school detective like me be shy?" Conan said speechlessly.

"You brat, you actually want to disobey what Ayumi said?"

"Huh? You're telling me this guy is 8 years old?!" Conan looked at the oversized Genta Kojima, who was raising his fist, and panicked a little.

Fortunately, Mitsuhiko, who was standing nearby, stopped Genta Kojima in time, saying, "Genta, can you please not be so rude?"

"Stop nagging, do you dare complain?"

"Don't do that, Genta."

While Ayumi was trying to mediate, Conan quickly left after saying a few words.

"I have to go now, bye-bye."

"Ah, wait a minute, Conan."

However, Conan pretended not to hear Ayumi's words. How ridiculous! I don't have time to play house with you guys!

...

So, how exactly did the three of you manage to follow me all this way?

Conan originally thought that if he wanted to track down the Black Organization, staying at the detective agency would give him a better chance of getting involved in related cases.

So, after getting the voice-changing bow tie from Professor Agasa, he couldn't wait to rush over to Ran, intending to observe her secretly.

No sooner had I arrived at my destination than I was furtively looking around when someone suddenly tapped me lightly on the back.

"Conan, what are you doing here?"

Conan was so startled he almost screamed. When he turned around, he found that it was Ayumi and the other two who had appeared behind him at some point.

"Mouri Detective Agency... Conan, are you playing a detective game?" Ayumi asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"Wow, really, Conan? Then take us with you!" Genta exclaimed excitedly, his face flushed.

"Yeah, yeah, as long as you agree to let us join, we'll forgive and forget about how you abandoned us and ran off before," Mitsuhiko chimed in.

Faced with these three excited faces, Conan finally had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Great! In that case, let's work together to solve all sorts of strange and unsolved cases!"

The three of them immediately cheered with great joy.

As the four people were huddled together secretly discussing what the organization should be called, they suddenly spotted a car parked downstairs at the office.

Then, the scene at the beginning of the story unfolded.

"You three stay here quietly! I'm going upstairs to investigate and find out what's going on. Did you all understand?" Conan instructed the three of them with a serious expression.

"Got it!" the three answered in unison.

"And also, Conan, you have to tell us what you've found out later," Ayumi added, reminding him.

After giving his instructions, Conan quickly ran upstairs...

"Hello, I have some things I'd like to ask Detective Mori to help me with..."

Yoko Okino spoke softly to Ran as she approached, but her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Nanami Hanyu, who was staring at her with a playful expression inside the house.

"Yoko, how about we go to another place, one that's more professional?"

Following behind Yoko Okino, her manager Eiichi Yamagishi muttered something in a low voice.

After all, Kogoro Mouri's actions just now made it hard to believe in his professionalism.

"Well, it's already quite late. Since we're already here, let's take a look first!" Yoko Okino shook her head.

After saying a few words, Yoko Okino turned around and introduced Ran to her:

"This is my manager, Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi. We are here today to ask Mr. Mori to help us with an important request."

Yuzuru, who was sitting inside, also stood up and invited the two of them to come in and sit down.

"Xiao Lan, make two cups of hot tea for these two guests."

Following Yuzuru's words, Ran obediently nodded in agreement, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"May I ask who you are?"

I gaze at the smiling, handsome man in front of me, a man who inexplicably inspires trust.

Yoko Okino's smooth face flushed slightly.

Yuzuru Hanyu smiled slightly and responded politely:

"You must be the famous Yoko Okino herself! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kusunoki Hanyu. Uncle Mori will be here soon. Let's rest for a while and wait."

Yuzuru Hanyu behaved very politely, which was an opportunity to make a good impression on Ran and Kogoro Mouri.

Just as Xiaolan brought the tea back, she saw the bedroom door being pushed open again.

After carefully dressing up, Kogoro Mouri leaned against the door, holding a beautiful red rose.

"You seem to have something on your mind, beautiful lady," Kogoro Mouri said softly to the woman before him with a gentle and gentlemanly smile.

"Yes...that's true."

Yoko Okino was also shocked by Kogoro Mouri's seemingly transformed appearance and slowly nodded.

Yuzuru Nan rubbed his forehead helplessly, thinking to himself, "This is too outrageous!"

I thought the plot was already outrageous enough in the anime, but the real-life version is even more absurd. Hey sir, who are you? Didn't you notice you're glowing? What happened to science? This is pure Detective Conan science!
