Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1723 Conan? Who?

The beautiful woman who suddenly appeared came to the passenger seat after seeing Maori Kogoro being knocked unconscious by the driver. She looked at Conan who was sleeping in the car seat with a slightly distressed expression and said with some concern:

"Xiaolong, how pitiful..."

  Then, the woman instructed the driver to open the driver's door, move the knocked-out Maori Kogoro out of the car, and then said to him:

"Take this guy back and make him confess!"

Upon hearing this, the driver did as he was told and moved the unconscious Kogoro Mouri to a car nearby. Then the woman carried the sleeping Conan out of the car and took him into the driver's car.

Just like that, when Xiaolan came out of the department store after shopping, it seemed that she had spent a lot of time shopping, so when she looked at the clothes she bought and some food, she couldn't help thinking:

"I've kept them waiting for too long. Dad and the others must be angry... I'll try to make some delicious food for them when I get home tonight..."

Thinking like this, Xiaolan walked out of the mall and entered the parking lot. She looked for the place where Maori Kogoro parked his car based on her memory. She didn't notice that a car just drove past her. In the driver's seat of the car was the driver who knocked Maori Kogoro unconscious with a wooden stick. In the back seat of the car, Maori Kogoro who was unconscious and Conan who was sleeping were both there...

Then, as Xiaolan walked further into the parking lot, before she found the van rented by Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan saw "Conan's figure" standing alone on the side of the road with his back to her.

"Ugh?"

So, seeing this scene, Xiaolan felt a little strange and couldn't help but step forward:

"Conan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Xiaolan waved at Conan, saying this apologetically, but the "figure of Conan" in front of her ignored her, which made Xiaolan even more nervous, wondering if Conan was really angry, so she walked forward, patted "Conan" on the shoulder, and said apologetically:

"Don't be mad at me, Conan... Eh? Where's dad?"

  So, noticing someone tapping his shoulder from behind, the "Conan" in front of Xiaolan, who was wearing glasses, a dark blue suit, gray shorts, and a bow tie, turned his head and looked at the girl who was talking to him, with a puzzled look on his face:

"Conan? Who is that?"

……

"So... because Conan became very strange and said some incomprehensible words, and then Mr. Maori disappeared again, but his mobile phone was left in the car, you found it strange, right?"

In the parking lot of the Mika Department Store, Gao Yuan, who had temporarily finished his in-depth investigation of several website servers and wanted to see if he could try to decrypt the hacker's encryption of the server data, just received a call from Xiaolan, saying that she had encountered something very strange.

It turned out that after Xiaolan met Conan in the parking lot, Conan seemed to no longer recognize her and spoke strangely.

Although Xiaolan felt very strange about this, she still took Conan to find the car rented by Kogoro Mouri, wanting to ask her father why Conan left the car alone and ran to the parking lot.

As a result, after finding the car, Xiaolan did not see Mouri Kogoro who was supposed to be in the car. When she called him, she found out that Mouri Kogoro's cell phone was left in the car. At the same time, Conan's cell phone was also forgotten in the car.

This situation, combined with Conan's sudden strange behavior, made Xiaolan think for a moment and then decided to contact Gao Yuan to ask him to see what was going on.

"Conan... no, Shinichi suddenly became like this... For something like this, I'm afraid I can only ask Mr. Akechi for help..."

With this thought in mind, Xiaolan called Gao Yuan.

After learning the general situation from Xiaolan, Gao Yuan was naturally surprised by Conan's situation, so he immediately rushed to the parking lot of the Beika Department Store to meet Xiaolan and "Conan".

So, after meeting them, looking at the "Conan" in front of him, after he appeared and greeted Xiaolan, he looked at him with a completely puzzled look, as if he were a stranger.

This situation surprised Gao Yuan——

This Conan... "Yes."

In response to Gao Yuan's questioning after he arrived, Xiaolan nodded and said:

"Conan seems to have become a different person. He doesn't recognize me at all, and he even says he's not Conan..."

  As he said this, Conan immediately followed up and said seriously:

"My name is not 'Conan'!"

So, after listening to Conan's words, Xiaolan looked helpless and didn't know what to say. She could only wave at Gao Yuan.

After hearing what the other party said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but start to carefully observe the "Conan" in front of him——

Whether it was his clothes, appearance, age, hairstyle, etc., he looked exactly like Conan, but his words just now showed that he was not Conan, and the tone of his voice...

It feels different from Conan, not like Kudo Shinichi's tone, nor like the feeling of pretending to be innocent...

It sounds a bit...

  Pretending to be an adult?

Gao Yuan felt this way for a moment.

So, faced with this situation, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and looked at "Conan" with a serious expression——

"I already said no!"

Facing Gao Yuan's gaze, "Conan" also said something very depressed, but the words were not in Japanese -

"That's it. He said something similar just now, but I don't understand..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan also said this based on the syllables of his speech, and felt that the strange words "Conan" said just now were almost the same as what he was saying now.

At this point, Gao Yuan's eyes changed when he looked at "Conan"——

Because it is natural that Xiaolan does not understand what is said. After all, this is not a language like Japanese or English, but Chinese!

It’s not even Mandarin, but Cantonese!

This is obviously not something Conan could say. After all, no matter how knowledgeable Conan is, he can't imitate the tone and intonation so well.

  He is really not Conan!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan walked up to "Conan", squatted down, and carefully looked at the child in front of him, making the child look a little scared, not knowing what Gao Yuan was going to do.

Gao Yuan reached out his hand, and in the other party's puzzled look, he fixed his bow for him, and suddenly asked:

"Where are you from?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask the other party in Chinese -

Just now, Gao Yuan took the opportunity to adjust the bow tie and confirmed that what he was wearing was really just an ordinary bow tie, not Conan's bow tie voice changer. Now Gao Yuan was 100% sure that there must be something wrong, so he asked the other party, and deliberately asked in Chinese...
