Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1327 Family Recognition Conference
“Lan, Lan…”

"orchid!"

In the quiet ward, a young body suddenly woke up and stood up from the bed.

here it is……

Conan stared at the unfamiliar environment in front of him. After a quick look, he realized that this was a hospital ward.

Am I in the hospital?

Has that matter been resolved?
Conan sat on the bed for a while and recalled what had happened before.

When he was about to take a flight back to Japan, he encountered Mao Lilan, who was also planning to take the same flight back to Japan, being kidnapped.

In order to rescue Xiaolan, he had to go to Wiltshire according to the kidnapper's request...

Later, after experiencing a series of events, he and Xiaolan were taken to Stonehenge.

The kidnapper seemed to want to hold some esoteric ritual, and he played a role similar to a "sacrifice".

However, the other party thought he was Kaito Kid, so he took Mouri Ran hostage, forcing him to show up.

Later, the real Kaito Kidd showed up, along with Michael and a black version of "Kaito Kidd"...

Finally, even my mother...

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with long wavy hair walked in.

When the woman saw Conan waking up on the hospital bed, she put the basin of water aside, rushed to the bed and hugged the petite and cute body.

"Shinichi! You finally woke up!"

Yukiko hugged him and wiped her tears, "Wow... You don't know how worried I was before you became smaller!"

"Mom?"

Conan looked a little stunned. He raised his palm and realized that his body had returned to normal...

No, it's back to normal.

This means that at least 24 hours have passed since the last time he took the antidote.

"Mom, where is Xiaolan? How is she?"

When Yukiko heard Conan asking about his future daughter-in-law, her face immediately fell and she pretended to be angry and said, "Really? You asked about Xiaolan right away, but you didn't ask about me, Yukiko's sister..."

Conan rolled his eyes and smiled, "Haha, aren't you fine..."

Yukiko stood up and walked back to where the basin was, saying as she walked, "Don't worry, Xiaolan is fine. She has already flown back to Japan with Mr. Maori."

"Back to Japan?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

He was well aware that he absolutely could not appear in the UK in this state, because according to the original plan, he and Dr. Agasa had already taken the previous flight back to Japan and would not experience the subsequent events.

But having just gone through such a big thing, he subconsciously hoped that Xiaolan could be by his side, at least so that he could confirm her safety with his own eyes.

Yukiko, who was standing by, was wetting a towel with water, and she also caught a glimpse of the regret in her son's eyes.

As a mother, she certainly knows what her son is thinking.

So she comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiaolan, Yusaku has asked his friends at Interpol to help protect her secretly, and there are so many reliable police officers in Japan, nothing will happen."

"And she only left after making sure you were completely safe."

Hearing this, Conan nodded in understanding.

It was not until then that he remembered to ask where this place was and key information such as the time.

"This is London. It's been almost 17 hours since you passed out..."

"London?" Conan turned his head and glanced out the window. The towering buildings were dotted with twinkling lights.

Yukiko wet the towel and continued, "After rescuing you and Xiaolan, I took you to a hospital in Wiltshire for simple treatment."

"Later, he was worried that your body would suddenly shrink in front of Xiaolan, so Yusaku transferred you to a private hospital in London run by a friend he knew. He asked that friend to issue a certificate that there was no danger, and finally let Xiaolan go back..."

Conan was stunned, "Dad is here too?"

"OK……"

As Yukiko was speaking, she stepped onto the hospital bed, pulled open Conan's hospital gown, and prepared to wipe his body with a wet towel.

"Wow!"

Conan, who was thinking, was irritated by the humidity and screamed, and quickly pushed away the towel handed to him by Yukiko.

"I don't need you to wipe my body for me, mom!"

"But you're already dirty, Shin-chan~"

"That's not necessary!"

Conan's face was flushed, embarrassment and rebellion were written all over his face.

This made Yukiko act like a drama queen again, and she grumbled with a wronged look on her face, "When Xiaolan was helping you wipe your body, you didn't even say a word of 'no'..."

Nonsense, then I have to be able to open my mouth too.

Conan secretly complained in his heart, then reacted and asked quickly: "Did Xiaolan help me wipe my body?"

"Yes, Xiaolan felt that she owed you, so she offered to take care of you personally."

Yukiko suddenly had an idea and a naughty expression appeared on her face, "By the way, when Xiaolan was helping you wipe your body, you kept shouting 'Xiaolan', 'Xiaolan'..."

"It made Xiaolan blush..."

After these words were spoken, Conan's face turned even redder, and an unknown gas came out of his head.

Oh no, Xiaolan can hear my talking in my sleep!
She wouldn't think...

Think……

Just as Conan was hesitating about the word that could break the window paper of their relationship, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

The person who walked in this time was Yusaku Kudo.

Seeing Conan wake up, Kudo Yusaku's expression became much calmer and he just smiled slightly.

"You woke up..."

"Ah."

"How do you feel physically?"

"It's about the same as usual, just a little smaller..."

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he realized that his little body was the most "classic" form at the moment.

To be honest, I’m a little uncomfortable with my body suddenly becoming bigger.

For example, this time when Xiaolan was kidnapped, if he was in Conan form, he could use a football belt and foot-strengthening shoes, the situation would probably be different.

Kudo Yusaku saw the gap in Conan's eyes, so he came to the bedside and continued: "My doctor friend told me that your body structure is very strange..."

"Especially when your body goes from big to small, physical injuries have an amazing ability to recover."

"You were seriously injured this time, but you were able to wake up so quickly and your body is not seriously injured. It's all thanks to this."

Conan wasn't too surprised by this.

He had heard about this from Huiyuan Ai before. After the incident at the Haido Hotel, Huiyuan Ai recovered very quickly from the gunshot wounds. If it were a normal seven-year-old girl, she would have to stay in the hospital for several months because of the injuries to her skin, flesh, tendons and bones.

But Haibara Ai only has three days before she can go back to Dr. Agasa's house to recuperate.

After a week, you can go back to school as usual.

This amazing recovery ability must be one of the side effects of APTX-4869.

Seeing that Conan didn't seem to take it seriously, Kudo Yusaku continued.

"And one more thing……"

"Shinichi, do you remember how tall you were when you first became smaller?"

Conan looked at his father, his mind suddenly startled by this question.

He doesn't care much about height.

Anyway, he would be able to recover and must restore his identity as Kudo Shinichi sooner or later, so he had never measured Conan's height specifically and didn't care too much.

At this time, Yukiko beside her tapped her chin with her fingertips and looked up, "I remember when Shinichi just turned seven..."

"It should be 104cm."

Conan was a little surprised by Yukiko's words.

He knew that Yukiko was not very sensitive to numbers, but she could remember such trivial things from many years ago.

This is the greatness of maternal love.

However, when Kudo Yusaku took out the physical examination report of Conan, the height item was clearly written as 104cm.

1cm not more, 1cm not less.

Conan looked at the height on the report and his expression gradually changed from calm to shocked.

During the physical examination at Teitan Elementary School not long ago, he heard Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi bragging that they had grown nearly 1cm taller in just two months.

It has been more than two months since I became Conan, but I am still stuck at 104cm?
Doesn't this mean that without a permanent antidote, my height will always remain at Conan's level?
Conan, the eternal "giant" - the man with his legs sawed off.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku said: "I also asked my doctor friend about this matter. His opinion is that every time you transform, your body may be reset to a fixed value."

"Including height, weight, bone age, skin, and even teeth..."

"Of course, scientifically speaking, it's impossible."

"But if you have to force an explanation, it's probably related to genes."

"Genes?" Conan looked puzzled.

Because Haibara Ai has been conducting research on Drug A, whether it is the antidote or Drug A itself, but she has never thought in this direction.

At least, she didn't say that to herself.

"Yes." Kudo Yusaku nodded and said seriously, "Genes support the basic structure and performance of life. They store all the information of life from conception to growth and then to apoptosis."

"It can be said that the reproduction of life is essentially a process of genetic interpretation."

"Your body can switch back and forth between big and small, and each time it shrinks or enlarges, it can reach the same state. This is definitely related to genes."

"The drugs invented by that group are like 'tweezers' that can pry open genes."

"And every time you return to your 7-year-old physical state, this means that this drug may have been designed like this in the beginning..."

"Not only you and Haibara Ai, but anyone else who meets the specific gene will become 7 years old, regardless of their original age."

Kudo Yusaku's analysis made Conan's eyes widen again.

He has always focused on finding tissues, but has not made much progress in drug research itself.

Besides, Haibara Ai was the one who made this medicine, and no one knows this medicine better than her.

But what Kudo Yusaku said made him think about it carefully and feel terrified.

Because in Kudo Yusaku's judgment, it was not because he and Haibara Ai were lucky that they survived the disaster, but that all this was part of the organization's plan.

especially……

"Wait, you mean 'specific genes'?"

"Specific gene, does it mean that this medicine will only be effective for a certain specific gene?" Conan asked quickly.

Kudo Yusaku nodded, "Everyone's genes are different, which is why there are differences between people."

"Therefore, this drug that targets gene effects may not be effective for everyone's genes."

"It may be a drug that makes you smaller for you, but it may be a poison that makes someone else's genes die."

"Since this genetic destruction is equivalent to the body choosing to 'commit suicide', any autopsy method will not be able to detect toxicity."

"Because there is no poison at all..."

After Kudo Yusaku's explanation, Conan finally understood everything.

Drug A developed by the organization has the effect of killing people invisibly as a byproduct, and its fundamental purpose is actually to change genes!

And it changes the genes of specific people!
What Conan couldn’t understand the most was why he could change both his own genes and Haibara Ai’s genes?
Not only are he and Haibara Ai two completely different people, they are not even related at all, and their genes must be completely different.

Conan asked his doubts, but Kudo Yusaku had not thought it through yet and could not give an answer.

"Okay, let's put this issue aside for now."

Yusaku Kudo interrupted Conan's thoughts, came to the door and pushed open the ward door.

"Shinichi, I rarely tell you about my family because I feel the time is not right yet."

"But now, I think it's time to introduce you to me..."

When Kudo Yusaku pushed open the door, an elegant man in a suit walked in.

The man had a delicate mustache. He walked to the bedside and stood with Kudo Yusaku.

Conan looked at the two middle-aged men standing in front of the bed, his expression gradually changed from calm to shock.

This……

Like, so similar!
How could it be so similar?

Conan looked carefully at the men standing on his left and right. Except for the beards, glasses, hairstyles and other personal tags that can be modified, the two men were almost exactly the same!
Before Conan could ask, Kudo Yusaku took the initiative to introduce: "This is my twin brother. According to seniority, you should call him uncle."

"Uncle?!"

Conan's eyes widened and he screamed.

The reason for his surprise was simple, because Kudo Yusaku had never mentioned that he had a twin brother, and he had no memory of such a person since he was a child.

Conan was unable to digest the news for a while, but the man did not care. Instead, he smiled like a gentleman and said, "Good boy... But since this is our first meeting, I am a little rushed. I did not bring any gifts. Please do not mind."

"No wonder, no wonder..."

Conan shook his head with confused eyes, but he was actually thinking "How weird, how weird".

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

But there are more strange things.

The man whom he should call "Uncle" turned his head and looked outside the door, saying, "Okay, Kaito..."

"Isn't it time for you to come in and meet your cousin?"
