"Tsk tsk tsk~"
In the side room, Yu Shengnan took out his phone with great interest and silently took pictures of the scene of Douzi being beaten up in the corridor, planning to send them to Xiao Qianying later so that she could appreciate her son's moment of glory.
Or, why not just post it anonymously on the "Today's Rice Flower" news website?
He even had the title ready: "Shocking! Moonlight Magician Breaks into House, Gets Beaten Up by Entire Family for Harassing Women!"
Douzi's charm was indeed incredibly effective in the original story, making her a true heartbreaker.
But, there's a real succubus here right now!
Faced with overwhelming good looks and charisma, Douzi's attempts to use her charm are like trying to challenge an aircraft carrier with a water gun—so childish it's heartbreaking.
......
In the corridor, Kaito, covered in bumps, finally escaped the "love education" from the Mine family, thanks to his excellent physical fitness. He plunged into the dark corridor, panting like a broken bellows.
"This family... is simply incomprehensible!"
He rubbed the large, rapidly swelling, purplish-blue bump on his forehead, wincing in pain, while cautiously touching his buttocks, which looked like they had been beaten to a pulp, feeling utterly miserable.
Kaito Kid, usually so carefree and easygoing, even surrounded by police, never expected to suffer the most devastating defeat of his career in this small martial arts gym.
He still fell for his most confident tactic: the charm of a handsome man!
Who would believe that if I told them?!
On the other side, Conan looked in the direction Kaito had fled, then glanced at the noisy police chasing after him, his brows furrowed tightly.
With his short legs, chasing him would be pointless; it's purely for the sake of creating atmosphere.
Suddenly, he remembered that in the side hall earlier, the overly enthusiastic old lady had insisted on giving him a bottle of strange medicine that was supposedly a "family heirloom for refreshing the mind and strengthening the body," and had mysteriously said, "Children who drink this will grow taller."
He accepted it out of politeness, without taking it seriously, and even suspected it was some kind of strange drink.
But now… he ran back to the side hall as if possessed, and sure enough, he saw the bottle of strangely colored green liquid with suspicious bubbles still on the coffee table.
I only took a small sip at the old lady's request, and that familiar, heart-pounding feeling—as if every cell was burning and tearing apart, screaming wildly for a way to break free—was exactly the same as when that black-hearted little girl gave him the APTX4869 antidote!
The great detective looked at the chaotic scene outside and thought of that arrogant thief...
Forget about stealing; rules are rules, but people are flexible!
—He has his own flexible moral bottom line!
Conan looked around, and when no one was paying attention, he grabbed the medicine bottle like a thief and slipped into the nearest bathroom, locking the door behind him with a "click".
Looking at his elementary school student's hand, he took a deep breath, and with the determination of a warrior cutting off his own arm, tilted his head back and gulped down half a bottle of medicine!
It tastes a bit like expired popsicles mixed with Tiger Balm.
"Ugh—!"
A familiar, tearing pain instantly swept through his entire body! Conan curled up in agony on the cold tile floor, feeling his bones creaking, his body stretching and expanding rapidly like a doll being forcibly inflated...
A few seconds later, the excruciating pain subsided.
He stood up, supporting himself on the toilet seat, and looked at his large, adult-sized hands. He was so moved he almost cried!
It worked! He's back to normal!
It's not permanent, but it's enough!
Finally, I can get rid of this damn child's body!
The detective straightened his slightly tight clothes, took a deep breath of the free air that belonged to adults, and with a long-lost, confident smile on his face, pushed open the door and walked out.
He, the famous detective Shinichi Kudo, is back!
Tonight I'm going to catch that pretentious thief myself!
As soon as I stepped into the corridor, I ran into Ran, who was looking for Kid.
“Ran…” Conan… no, Shinichi Kudo instinctively wanted to call her “Ran-neechan”, but he immediately realized his mistake and quickly changed his words, showing what he thought was a cool smile, “Ran, long time no see.”
Xiaolan looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, sporting her father's drunken face, and who even said "long time no see" to her in a somewhat flippant tone. A nameless anger flared up instantly.
Several veins bulged on the girl's forehead instantly, and her anger level soared to MAX!
The fist has hardened!
"Phantom Thief Kid! How dare you impersonate my father to play tricks on me?! Unforgivable!!!"
With a roar, the familiar, sound-barrier-breaking, special-effect-laden right straight punch sliced through the air and landed squarely on Kogoro Mouri's face with thunderous force!
"Wait...wait! Ran! It's me! Shinichi..." Before he could finish his sentence, Shinichi was sent flying backward like a baseball hit with a home run, crashing into the wall in the distance with a thud before slowly sliding down...
Several cracks even appeared on the wall.
Conan, with Kogoro Mouri's face on his back, collapsed to the ground, seeing stars and his head buzzing: "Why...why..."
The next second, he suddenly realized what was happening and touched his face—it felt rough and had stubble! This wasn't his face at all!
It's that drunkard's face!
That potion… it doesn’t restore you to your original state, it turns you into someone else?! And the first person it turns you into is a drunk Kogoro Mouri?! What kind of rip-off potion is this?!
That's so unreliable!
Just then, the real Kogoro Mouri, completely drunk, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. He saw another "himself" being punched away by his daughter, and instantly sobered up halfway. Pointing at the "himself" on the ground, he shouted, "You...who are you?! You're Kid in disguise right now! How dare you impersonate the handsome and dashing me!"
Inspector Nakamori arrived with a group of men after hearing the commotion. Upon seeing two identical men, both sporting Kogoro Mouri's face, he was instantly overwhelmed and his blood pressure soared: "Again?! Kid, aren't you tired of this identity theft trick?! Grab them both! Take them both back for questioning!"
Shinichi Kudo (with a Mori-like expression): "???"
No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!
I am Shinichi Kudo!
Seeing the police about to pounce on him, he was terrified and didn't bother to explain, since no one would believe him anyway. He could only scramble to his feet and flee in the opposite direction from Kaito!
"Chase him! Don't let that fake one get away!" Officer Nakamori waved his hand, and the police immediately split into two groups, one chasing Kaito and the other chasing "Kogoro Mouri".
