Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
After leaving the building where Ono Bank was located, Fujiwara Yu drove to Beika-cho 5-chome. It was not because he left something at Polo Coffee Shop, but because he needed to confirm something with Kudo Shinichi.
Now as an elementary school student, Edogawa Conan has lost the right to a nightlife. After school, after finishing his math homework, which he can solve with his eyes closed, he curls up on the sofa in the office to read mystery novels. After enjoying the dinner made by Xiaolan as usual, he washes up and prepares to go to bed.
As the saying goes, a good night's sleep makes you grow taller. Conan, who is shorter than many first-graders, has to be obedient and go to bed early and get up early in order to keep his height from shrinking after turning back into Kudo Shinichi.
What he didn't expect was that there was an uninvited guest tonight who disrupted his ambition to grow taller. He was used to going to bed early, so he yawned as he came downstairs to the office. In his daze, he heard a puzzling question.
"Kudo, do you have an older brother or younger brother? Or any relatives or friends who have a voice very similar to yours?"
Edogawa Conan rubbed his eyes, staring at Takashi Sosuke who asked the strange question with his half-moon eyes, and shook his head:
"I'm an only child, and I don't know anyone who sounds like me. Brother Yingsi, why are you suddenly asking such a strange question? Is something wrong?"
Fujiwara Yu stared at Edogawa Conan seriously for a long time, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not lying.
Previously on the rooftop, he had concealed something from Ginzo Nakamori because he felt that there might be some connection between Kaito Kid and Kudo Shinichi, and he was worried that Investigation Section 2 would target the Kudo family, and that something would inevitably happen after an in-depth investigation.
For example, if the news that Kudo Shinichi is still alive reaches the ears of the organization, this is the thing he least wants to see.
"Nothing, I just met someone with a voice very similar to yours today, so I wanted to confirm it with you." Fujiwara Yu rubbed Conan's round head several times, then withdrew his evil hand with satisfaction, and smiled and urged: "Go back to sleep quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if your sister Xiaolan sees you."
Edogawa Conan rolled his eyes, feeling that the "Sister Xiaolan" was a joke on him. Even though he had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask out loud out of trust in Takagi Sosuke. He believed that Takagi would not harm him.
"Then I'm going back to sleep. Brother Ying Si should also go back and rest quickly."
"Well, good night."
Fujiwara Yuu did not rush back to the car, but went to a nearby convenience store that was still open to buy a cup of iced lemon tea. He opened the car door at a leisurely pace, and only half of the drink was left in the cup.
Judging from the words of the old imitator just now, the Kaito Kidd who previously gave international police a headache was the genius magician Kuroba Toichi who disappeared eight years ago.
The mysterious young man obviously also knew who Hei Yu Daoyi was. He deliberately interrupted the old imitator's unfinished second half of the sentence, which might be related to his identity.
Fujiwara Yu reopened the page related to Kuroba Toichi. The official information did not specify his family information. He only knew that he had a son with his wife. It seemed that he was intentionally protecting the identity of his family.
Unfortunately, the surname Kuroba is not common in Japan. There are no more than 3,000 people with the surname Kuroba in the country. As long as we conduct a little investigation through the police system, we can still find some useful clues.
As a man of action, Fujiwara Yu directly sent a message to Miyano Akemi, informing her that he would be back a little late today and that she could go to the Metropolitan Police Department directly without having to wait for him.
He took the elevator all the way to the tenth floor, opened the Special Search Office 7 and found it empty. After seeing what was written on the whiteboard next to it, he realized that Usho Tsuda and Yuji Hashimoto, who were on duty tonight, were assigned to surveillance.
When no one is just right, people will become troublesome.
Fujiwara Yu quickly sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer and logged into the Metropolitan Police Department's internal system. After entering his identity information, he began the investigation.
His last name is Kuroba, he lives in Tokyo, he is a male, and he is between fifteen and twenty-five years old.
After entering all the key information, only three people met the requirements. Among them, Naoya Kuroba had dropped out of high school and was working in a yakiniku restaurant run by his family. Judging from his identity and background, he should not be the son of Toichi Kuroba.
Another 20-year-old college student named Kuroba Masataka also did not meet the requirements. His father died 20 years ago and his mother remarried a man with the surname Kuroba. His former name was Iijima Masataka, so he obviously did not meet the requirements either.
Then according to the process of elimination, the last one is more likely to be the son of Kuroba Toichi.
Kuroba Kaito, male, 17 years old, is a student in Class B, Grade 2 of Ekoda High School.
The column for biological father was filled in as deceased but there was no accurate information, while the column for biological mother was written as Kuroba Chikage, and the biological mother was working in Las Vegas, USA, which was the same location as Kuroba Touichi's last escape magic show.
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that the high school student named Kuroba Kaito was most likely the mysterious young man tonight. After further searching, he fell silent when he saw the other party's photo.
It wasn't Kuroba Kaito's handsomeness that struck him, but rather how this guy looked exactly like Kudo Shinichi. If there was any difference between the two men, it would be their hairstyles; a hat would make them completely unrecognizable.
The same look, the same voice, are there really such coincidences in this world?
Fujiwara Yu reached out and scratched his hair. He wanted to find an excuse to approach Kuroba Kaito directly, but when he thought about it carefully, if he knew that his father was Kaito Kid, he would probably try his best to investigate the truth of his father's death, right?
