Outside the Kudo residence, the members of the Junior Detective Team were still pushing and shoving. Conan Edogawa was walking in front, his hand gently on the watch-shaped anesthetic needle, his little face full of seriousness.
Would a thief leave the door open so carelessly when breaking into a house? If it wasn't a thief, but that group of people...
Damn it, why did these kids have to follow him in?
As they gradually approached the half-open door, everyone's heart began to tighten.
The next second, the heavy wooden door in front of him opened with a "click" and a black shadow suddenly appeared.
“……!!!”
The young detectives who were crowded together and walking forward were startled by the sudden sound of the door opening. Yuantai stumbled forward, and like dominoes, the children piled up and fell at the door.
Suzumiya Kazuki calmly turned his head to the side, avoiding the anesthetic needle that Conan was shot out of when he was pressed forward. Before everyone raised their heads, his expression immediately changed, revealing a look of relief: "Ah - I was scared to death. I thought...it turned out to be a few little brats."
Huh? Not the men in black?
Conan raised his head from the crowd with great difficulty, shouting, "Hurry up and get up, it's so heavy."
Ayumi patted her skirt that was splashed with dust and complained, "It's all Genta's fault. He suddenly came up to me. Hey... Big brother, why are you at Shinichi's house?"
Several children stood up one by one and looked at the young man in front of them.
He was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and a duckbill cap with the word "OK" printed on it, which pinned his smooth hair to the sides. His fair skin almost reflected the sun. He seemed to be much more relaxed, with a gentle smile on his lips - he looked like a very normal boy.
Suzumiya Kazuki shook his head and acted shy: "I came to look for Kudo. He hasn't been to class for a long time. When I came here, I found the door was open, so I went in to take a look. In fact, I just came a while ago and heard some noise outside. I thought it was Kudo who came back with his illegitimate child."
Mitsuhiko nodded in understanding: "Oh, that's why you were scared by us. But Shinichi is only 18 years old, how could he have a child?"
Suzumiya Kazuki shrugged, "As for him, maybe."
Ayumi gossiped, "Is Shinichi a playboy?"
Ryoumiya Kazuki coughed lightly and waved to them: "Come closer, I'll tell you..."
The other kids in the Junior Detective Team were happily asking questions and gossiping with the young man, but Conan was the only one standing aside with a frown on his face, his hand holding the anesthetic needle turning a little pale.
Damn it, there was no such classmate in his high school class, so how could she come to his house to look for him and spread rumors as if she knew him so well.
Who on earth is this person? Is this organization——? !
Feeling that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, Edogawa Conan took a step forward, put on a childish smile, and said in a voice that was so pretentious that it made people sick: "Big brother, what's your name? I don't think I've ever heard Shinichi mention you."
Suzumiya Kazuki looked at the young detective's frustrated and inquiring eyes and said with a smile, "I'm Suzumiya Kazuki, a classmate of Kudo's from the class next to mine. He may not know me very well, but I definitely know him."
"Why!"
"After all, he is a high school detective who is known as the 'savior of the Japanese police'. I am somewhat interested in reasoning, so I investigated a lot of things about him. I don't know where he has been during this period. Maybe he took a day off and played video games at home like an elementary school student."
Suzumiya Kazuki threw his hands up helplessly: "Because I deduced this reason, I came here to find out the truth."
When Conan heard the part about being like an elementary school student, his hair stood on end. When he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression froze again.
He couldn't help but reveal his crescent eyes. That's it? Is this reasoning? This is just a blind guess!
Uncle Maori has more evidence than him.
But even with such a blind guess, I was able to hit half of the target...
Ayumi clapped her hands in surprise: "Wow, Suzumiya-nii, you also like reasoning! Why don't you join our Junior Detective Team? We are really strong."
Yuan Tai, who looked like a rice ball, raised his hand and said, "I'm the leader!"
Suzumiya Kazuki could only make up some passable excuses to appease the child and had no interest in getting involved in a bunch of messy cases. What's more, Conan's eyes were not friendly to him, and he didn't want to be delisted as a nobody by the world's consciousness again.
Thinking of this, his eyebrows curved and he said seriously, "That won't work. I have a lot of part-time jobs to do and I don't have time to play detective games with you guys."
Part-time jobs include but are not limited to murder, blasting, debt collection and other underworld activities.
“What a pity…”
After a few people chatted for a while at the door, the Young Detective Team very naturally invited Suzumiya to go to Dr. Agasa's house for afternoon tea. The faint voice of Conan standing next to them was perfectly ignored.
A group of people left the Kudo residence in a noisy manner. Conan walked at the end with his chin in his hand, unable to figure out what he had missed. In addition, Suzumiya kept teasing him with words, and his thinking was gradually confused.
Until everyone finished their afternoon tea, Suzumiya Kazuki, who had won the favor of the children with his handsome face and gentle smile, guessed a few boring jokes, and sincerely sent the three children home one by one, leaving Conan sitting in Dr. Agasa's house in deep thought.
Dr. Agasa was clearing the dishes and asked, "Shinichi, is that really your classmate?"
Conan frowned: "I don't remember, but he doesn't look like a bad guy. It's just that sometimes he talks... It makes people wonder if he is playing dumb."
Dr. Agasa nodded, as if remembering something: "Oh, by the way, I think I saw a black car parked in front of your house yesterday. I wanted to tell you at that time, but I forgot about it when I was doing the experiment, hahahaha."
Conan's face changed drastically, he jumped down and grabbed the corner of Dr. Agasa's clothes: "Black car?! What brand is it? Did you see anyone wearing black clothes——"
Dr. Agasa: "Well, don't be so excited. I didn't see the person, but the car is a pretty old brand, and not many people drive it now."
No wonder the young man said that the door was open from the beginning. It turned out that the group of people actually followed the clues and went to his house. They didn't even close the door, as if to tell him that they had noticed something.
Conan felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and thought, I must, I must catch those evil people before they discover my identity!

After scaring a group of young detectives and winning the hearts of a few children, Suzumiya Kazuki just casually sent a message to Shirley, asking her to go and make a report herself, then he left and went back to hiding in the consciousness space.
Although his shell looks very similar to a human, it is virtual after all, similar to 3D printing technology. Although it feels no different and can barely simulate a heartbeat and breathing, it can completely go without food, water, or going to the toilet, just like a typical little fairy man.
After a whole afternoon of tossing and turning, Ryomiya and Shu could only hear the chattering of children in their heads. In the corner, Gin's magical "Ah~ Shirley" kept echoing. It was really noisy enough.
He turned over and sat up, poked at the system playing video games next to him, and asked, "Did the energy move this afternoon? How much did it move?"
The system extended two light blue tentacles from the void, tapping buttons with a crackling sound, muttering, "Hey, look at my shadowless kicks, roo roo roo! Ah, host, wait a minute, I'm almost winning."
Although he didn't know why this kind of video game that allows team play could appear in the consciousness space, seeing the system enjoying it so much that Ryoumiya and Shu, who had already completed N missions in a row, were almost turned evil.
He smiled like a devil, stretched out his hand and silently pressed the surrender button: "Now, tell me, what happened?"
“Damn it—just one step away.” The system howled, then belatedly met Suzumiya Kazuki’s smile, its jelly-like body trembling noticeably, “Host, Master, I’ll see!!”
"Energy collection is 21.3%, the total increase in contact in the afternoon is 0.3%, and the increase in contact with Shirley is negligible."
Suzumiya Kazuki frowned, "Why? Isn't she one of the protagonists?"
System: "It may be the difference between the childhood version and the adult version. After all, this is Shirley, not Haibara Ai."
If Suzumiya Kazuki really wants to have a complete body, the energy must be at least 80%. Just relying on the plot like this, according to TV calculations, it is estimated that it will take more than a thousand episodes. Just imagine more than a thousand people dying, and then watching Conan solve more than a thousand cases, pretending to be tough more than a thousand times, and being careful not to accidentally fail in any of them...
Forget it, that picture is too beautiful and my health is not in a hurry anyway.
——Suzumiya Kazuki, who felt that he had retired, had no energy to follow the plot.
Having decided to lie down, a certain salty fish placed himself safely and securely on the big bed in the consciousness space, intending to catch up on some sleep.
The next second, the system's terrified cry rang again.
"Ahhh, host, Gin has given us another mission!"
