Compared to the unbelievable thing that a 17-year-old boy turned into a 7-year-old child, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda naturally believed that Conan was a genius child. After all, they had never seen time reversal with their own eyes, but they had personally been beaten by genius children.
Hagiwara Kenji looked at the dazed Morobushi Kagemitsu and consoled him, "Genius children are always special. It's not surprising that they are good at reasoning. Don't take it too seriously. At least Miss Midorikawa is also a genius in cooking."
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at his friend who quickly accepted the reality. He wondered what he had experienced that allowed him to come out of it so skillfully. However, he still accepted the other party's kindness and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Hagiwara. I'll be fine after a while."
Matsuda Jinpei pulled Conan to his side and gave him a good scolding. Because he had experience with a genius like Hiroki, Matsuda Jinpei was quite tolerant of Conan. He just reminded him about safety and taught him to remember to find an adult if he really encountered difficulties and not to ignore these things just because he was smart.
Finally, he reminded her, "Although you are smart, you are still a child. You used an anesthetic needle to stun Mr. Maori and used him as a puppet, and you deceived adults. This is wrong. You should find an opportunity to explain it to Mr. Maori. You can't make the same mistake over and over again."
Seeing that they just regarded him as a child genius, Conan breathed a sigh of relief. At least his deepest secret was not exposed. Matsuda Jinpei and the others were all good people. Although they were police officers, he had not yet found out the truth about the two men in black and did not want to drag them into unknown danger.
I nodded obediently and said, "I understand, Brother Matsuda, I will explain it to Uncle Maori."
Matsuda Jinpei paused while rubbing his head, and his eyes turned dangerous. "If I remember correctly, I don't think I have introduced myself."
Conan made the same mistake for the second time. He beat himself up in his heart but managed to keep a straight face. "Oh, didn't I tell you? Brother Matsuda, my name is Edogawa Conan. I often heard Brother Shinichi mention you guys before, and I've seen your photos, so I recognized Brother Matsuda right away~"
"Is that so?" Matsuda Jinpei seemed convinced by Conan's words, but the next second, he pinched the soft flesh of Conan's cheeks with both hands and pulled hard, "Do you think I will be fooled, kid, where did that boy Kudo Shinichi get the photo? We have never taken a photo together."
Oh no! Conan was panicking. Although he was familiar with Matsuda Jinpei and others, he really didn't have any photos. He rolled his eyes and said with all his might, "Oh, no? It was a photo taken in a KTV. In the photo, Brother Matsuda was holding a microphone and was very intoxicated."
Although there is a big age gap between Kudo Shinichi and Matsuda Jinpei, their mental ages are similar. The way they get along with each other tends to be more like a nemesis. Kudo Shinichi is totally capable of doing something like secretly taking embarrassing photos of Matsuda Jinpei while he is singing.
After hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda no longer had any doubts, and Conan was finally able to escape.
Not long after escaping from the clutches of Matsuda Jinpei, he ran into the hands of Mori Kogoro, who had a stern expression.
After enjoying the flattery of everyone, Maori Kogoro touched his aching neck and stared at him fiercely, "Kid, where did you go just now?"
Conan was lectured by Jinpei Matsuda and is now very confused. He knows that he used an anesthetic needle to stun Kogoro and then used him to reason about the matter. If you look closely, it was wrong, but he didn't want to involve the Mori family. But now Jinpei Matsuda has already pointed this out.
There are only two choices before him, either confess to Maori Kogoro about the anesthetic needle, or confess to Matsuda Jinpei and others that he is Kudo Shinichi. Poirot Cafe is just downstairs, Maori Kogoro and Matsuda Jinpei are familiar with each other, and if Maori Kogoro finds out that he has not confessed yet, Matsuda Jinpei's personality will probably not help him keep it a secret.
The best approach would be to selectively confess to Kogoro Mori, but he really hadn't thought of what to say. If he said it directly, whether Uncle Mori would believe him or not was one thing, but even if he did believe him, he would definitely be furious and might even chase him away.
But it is not his character to evade responsibility. He has always had the courage to take responsibility for his mistakes. Therefore, Conan made up his mind, pulled Kogoro Mouri to a corner, and began to confess.
He selectively told the truth and did not say that he was Kudo Shinichi. Instead, he said that he was a genius child who liked to solve cases under the influence of his brother Shinichi. He felt that Mori Kogoro was great and reliable, and he looked very kind and generous, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
After hearing what he said, Maori Kogoro showed a strange expression on his face, "Kid, you said you are a child genius?"
Conan was confused and nodded, "Yes, I am a child genius."
Maori Kogoro's expression became even more strange, as if he wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back. "Little brat, even if you solved the case, I won't share the commission with you. At most, I'll give you a little extra pocket money every week. And don't use that anesthetic needle in the future. I have to remove it myself every time, and it hurts. You little brat, don't know how to respect your elders."
As he said this, he pinched Conan's cheek again. Maori Kogoro's hands were very strong and Conan's face turned red.
"Dad!" Ran Mouri stopped him angrily when she saw this scene, "Really, Dad is bullying Conan again!" After that, she skillfully pulled Conan into her arms.
"What? Xiaolan, just protect this brat! I was clearly playing with him, and this brat was also very happy, right, brat!"
Conan was in a trance now, and didn't hear what was asked clearly, but just nodded mechanically. His mind was full of Maori Kogoro's complaints, and every time he had to remove the anesthetic needle, it was troublesome. Did this mean that Maori Kogoro had discovered his little trick a long time ago, but he still wanted to keep it secret for a long time.
The detective observation ability that he was proud of was not that strong, and Maori Kogoro was much stronger than he thought.
"Conan, Conan." Xiaolan looked at the stunned Conan, called his name worriedly, and said to Maori Kogoro angrily, "Dad, you said you didn't bully Conan, but Conan has been bullied by you and has become stupid!"
Maori Kogoro gnashed his teeth angrily and pushed Conan, "Stop pretending, little brat!"
Conan finally woke up from his deep thoughts and said in a skillful and cute way, "I'm fine, Xiaolan, Uncle Maori was just playing games with me~"
When he spoke, there was a red mark on half of his cheek. In Xiaolan's eyes, he was particularly sensible and was covering up for Maori Kogoro's lie. In addition, in Xiaolan's eyes, he looked very similar to the young Shinichi, so she felt particularly sympathetic towards him and couldn't help but pull him into her arms, "Conan, you're so cute~"
Conan's face turned red and his eyes became small when he was held in his arms by Yukenran.
Seeing this scene, Maori Kogoro immediately turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and shouted angrily, "You little bastard, get out of Xiaolan's arms!"
.....
Ever since he recognized Conan's substitute in person at the Poirot Cafe, Miyazaki Ren has been looking forward to the update. He wanted to know whether the reveal would be made this time. After waiting for a long time, the update finally came and he couldn't wait to open the comic and start reading it.
The main content of the latest chapter is still solving the case, but at the end, the scene of their identification was also drawn, and the memories of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda were interspersed here, about two pages. In the memories, they were beaten by two genius children, Shiho Miyano and Hiroki Kenmura.
When Conan heard the title of "genius child", he had half a page of memories. In the memories, he was thinking about Hiroki Kenmura, who already had many patents at the age of 14.
After saying goodbye to them, Conan confessed to Maori Kogoro, and this scene surprised Miyazaki Ren.
Kogoro Mouri actually discovered that he had been knocked unconscious by the anesthetic needle, and his expression during the conversation, based on Miyazaki Ren's many years of creative experience, Mouri Kogoro may not only know that he was knocked unconscious, he must have also realized Conan's true identity!
After reading the comic, Miyazaki Ren couldn't wait to open the forum and start reading.
[十里飏江山如画: Damn, Conan is exposed. Although not completely exposed, I didn't expect Matsuda and the others to find out that Conan was playing for someone else. And what's going on with those two pages of memories? It's inexplicably funny. Poor Hagiwara and Kojinpei. But I knew that Ren and the Miyano sisters were neighbors, and I didn't expect Kojinpei and the others to know Shiho. What kind of dream connection is this? I wonder if I will recognize Haibara Ai when I see her in the future.]
[Mo Yuanling: A scene I never thought of appeared! Looking at this memory, Hiroki should still be alive, and Conan also knows Hiroki! He is still 14 years old. Wow, the IF chapter is so beautiful, so many regrets were saved! ]
[Shun Kaito: Whiskey Group revealed that Ren was once a neighbor of the Miyano sisters, and they kept in touch even after they moved away. He also knew the Akai siblings, and I didn't expect that he even knew Hiroki. My Ren is amazing, the scientific address book is true.]
[I don’t know if Noah’s Ark has been released now that Hongshu has grown up. After watching Baker Street, I quite like Noah’s Ark.]
[Scottish Cat: Actually, I think what shocked me the most was what Maori Xiaowu said. He already knew about the anesthetic needle! I want to laugh when I think about how he has to pull out the anesthetic needle every time he wakes up.]
[Ye Yunqian: Hahahaha, this is probably the most clever Maori Kogoro. Am I the only one who thinks Maori Kogoro's expression is weird when he hears the genius child's words? The old thief 73's painting skills are so poor, how can he draw such a complicated expression?]
【STGZLP: Let's say, is there a possibility that in the if story, Maori Kogoro actually knew that Conan was Shinichi's. He had watched Shinichi grow up since he was a child, so he naturally knew what Shinichi looked like when he was a child, and he also discovered that he was knocked unconscious by the anesthetic needle. If he asked Shinichi's parents directly, it wouldn't be surprising if they knew?】
[Tachu szd: If Maori Kogoro really knew that Conan = Shinichi, it would be hilarious. In front of his future father-in-law, he boasted that he was a child prodigy. What kind of social demise is this? His family members would die of laughter just thinking about it.]
When Miyazaki Ren saw this, she thought of Kudo Shinichi's cocky personality and laughed so hard. Who wouldn't love the social demise of others?
On the other side, Mizuo Sosuke, who was writing, suddenly lay on the table and laughed. Miyano Akemi, who was disguised as Sera Akira, didn't understand why, but still kindly served him hot milk and apple pie.
Having laughed enough, Mizuo Sosuke ate his apple pie and called Kudo Yusaku and his wife directly, and learned the whole story from them.
Although Kogoro Mouri is usually confused, he becomes a hundred times smarter when it comes to his family. He doesn't know Kuroba Kaito, so he naturally thinks it's strange that he looks like Conan when Shinichi was a child. And this kid suddenly depends on Xiaolan, which makes him even more worried.
After careful observation, he felt that this Conan looked like Kudo Shinichi, but they were not related by blood, which was very suspicious. So after being injected with an anesthetic needle, he immediately called the Kudo couple to recognize him, only to find out that Kudo Shinichi was in big trouble and turned into Conan.
Knowing that Conan hid it from them out of good intentions, and that the two families have known each other for so many years and that Conan can still work for him, Kogoro Mouri just turned a blind eye to it. However, he would often get angry at Conan for relying on his childish status to be close to Ran, and would bully Conan from time to time.
The whole thing was just as the netizens guessed. After Miyazaki Ren learned about the incident through the pseudonym Mizuo Sosuke, he couldn't help but go to the forum and give the netizens a thumbs up. The wisdom of the masses is indeed endless~
......
After confessing to Maori Kogoro, Conan's life did not change much. At most, Maori Kogoro instructed him to be more justified. But he still had no idea about the man in black.
That day, he saw that familiar figure on the street again. He was still wearing a black windbreaker and had long silver hair. The person following him was also very similar to the one in his memory.
Conan was as brave as ever, and followed them with the help of the equipment given by Dr. Agasa, and then he followed the two to a crowded place.
Damn it! Was he discovered and was trying to get away from being followed by the crowd? Conan thought about it. He used his short stature to try to weave his way through the crowd. After some effort, he finally made it to the front. In front of him was a stage. He looked around, trying to find that familiar figure.
The host on the stage was announcing, "Next, we welcome the members of the Mihua cosplay club to perform a dance called Pure Land of Bliss. Let's applaud and welcome them."
As the music started, a group of people wearing black windbreakers and with long silver hair appeared on the stage, both men and women. They got into position and started dancing to the passionate music. Among them, a few tall boys looked very similar to the people who knocked him out that day. Now they had the same expression on their faces and danced seductively.
Conan covered his eyes in pain. How could this happen?! He tugged at the clothes of the person next to him and asked, "Hey, big brother, who are they cosplaying as?"
The boy who was cheering crazily next to him squatted down patiently and introduced him, "Little brother, they are cosplaying the arrogant devil Jean from "Isekai Magical Girl Adventure". The boy is cosplaying the gender-transformed version. There was a male cosplayer at the American Comic Con before. His cosplay of the gender-transformed Jean was very popular in the United States and was even praised by Teacher Peach. Then it became popular in Japan, and many people in China also followed suit!"
As he was talking, the boy took out his phone, played the male cosplayer at the American comic convention and started recommending him the movie.
Conan's pupils trembled, and he swore by his detective observation ability that this was definitely the man in black who hit him with a club!
That night, Conan dreamed of the silver-haired man in black. In the dream, the silver-haired man in black, who was holding a wooden stick with a fierce expression, suddenly changed his expression, started dancing to the music of Paradise, and even wanted to pull him to dance with him.
Conan was so frightened that he woke up instantly from his dream. To be honest, he would rather face the ferocious silver-haired man in black than see a group of silver-haired men in black dancing to Paradise with seductive figures. His young heart could not bear such a beating.
Conan is having a hard time here, and on the other side, Rei Furuya also has a lot in common with him. Rei Furuya's pressure comes from his direct superior, Rum.
As the head of the intelligence team, Rum naturally knew that Gin had become popular on the social platform.
Rei Furuya thought that this was Gin's mistake and wanted to make fun of him, but Rum didn't think so.
"You are too naive, Bourbon. Gin is imitating me! He must have teamed up with that author to do such a thing. He wants a legitimate identity so that it will be easier for him to deal with things in the future. Besides, there are so many people dressed the same way walking on the street now. He will not be noticeable if he blends in with them. He is really too cunning, Gin." Rum said angrily.
Fūya Ling was speechless for a moment. In his opinion, this was just an accidental incident.
Because he knew the author of this comic, who was his classmate in the police academy, and now the Inspector of the Second Investigation Division - Miyazaki Ren. In his opinion, Miyazaki Ren didn't know Gin, and the incident happened seven years later. Someone drew the gender reversal of the characters in the comic, so it just happened to be similar. How could Miyazaki Ren and Gin join forces? !
Looking at the silent Furuya Rei, Rum felt a little disappointed. If Brandy was here, he would definitely take the initiative to share his worries. Compared to Brandy, Bourbon was still not considerate enough.
"Ahem." Rum cleared his throat, and Furiha Rei immediately put on a respectful expression.
"Since he is the first to do so, don't blame me." After returning home, Rum's life was not easy. Many of the secret lines he had run for many years were almost destroyed. This time the gin incident gave him a lot of inspiration, "Bourbon, I ask you to help me so that Kensuke Toda can gain the trust of the people."
Kenshinori Oda? Rei Furuya remembered that this was one of Rum's fake identities. He had once been on the headlines of major social media platforms in Japan for helping to solve a bombing case and being a representative of the close relationship between police and the public. Could it be that Rum wanted to repeat what happened back then?
Fūya Ling's heart sank. Given Rum's cunning and indifferent personality, if he really planned it himself, who knows what kind of harm to the people he would do. Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver. "I will follow your orders, but Lord Rum, how should I do this?"
Rum raised his chin slightly. "Don't worry. I'll give you Brandy's contact information. He is my most capable and loyal subordinate and will guide you."
Brandy, Furiya Ling chewed on the name in his heart. He would always remember that hateful smile. He was one of the people in the organization whose level of mystery was second only to that gentleman.
In the years since Jingguang left, he often woke up from his dreams, suspecting that the text message was just his own conjecture due to excessive grief. For fear of being exposed, he deleted the text message early on and could only hold the phone that had received the text message for comfort.
Now he has the chance to contact Brandy. As long as he confirms Brandy's identity, he will know what happened. Thinking of this, Furutani Rei's heart was burning with excitement.
I quickly sent an email to that mailbox according to the contact information given by Rum.
Soon he received a reply from Brandy.
[Hello, Bourbon. I've wanted to meet you for a long time. These are important data that can help you complete Mr. Rum's mission. Please read them carefully.]
Furiya Rei ignored Brandy's cute words, and with an excited heart, he clicked on the attachment with trembling hands. The next second his pupils contracted.
