Stay away from Conan.

"In this case, Xiaolan shouldn't doubt that I am Conan anymore, right?"

After returning to the Kudo residence, facing his mother, Kudo Yukiko, who had completely planned out today's situation, Kudo Shinichi was obviously a little relieved. He did not expect that his mother could actually do such a thing, and even he could not see any flaws.

In this regard, Yukiko Kudo looked at her son, who had not seen Shinichi Kudo for a long time, and nodded with a smile of surprise, and then said meaningfully:

"Well...it's hard to say. After all, Xiaolan is also a woman! Women's intuition often doesn't need so-called logic or flaws to support it, and they can realize that there is a problem..."

"what?"

Suddenly, when Shinichi Kudo heard what his mother said, he was shocked and felt that this was totally nonsense.

This means that even after reaching this point, maybe Xiaolan still feels that she and Conan are the same person?

"Is there any mistake?"

After Kudo Shinichi complained like this, Kudo Yukiko said:

"What else? Before this, you probably didn't reveal that Conan was you, but why did Xiaolan know it vaguely? This kind of intuition is hard to explain!"

So, after hearing what Kudo Yukiko said, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but hold his forehead helplessly——

"In other words, maybe from now on, no matter what I do, Xiaolan will think that Conan and I are the same person? Then, I might as well just confess to Xiaolan directly! I don't have to worry about being discovered..."

Kudo Shinichi expressed his attitude in this way, and seemed a bit self-destructive. He felt that if he couldn't hide it at all, he might as well confess it, and there would be no need to do all these things.

However, regarding this point, Kudo Yukiko said:

"That won't work! Since Xiaolan may have known about this a long time ago, but has been patient and hasn't said anything, maybe she doesn't want to reveal it, so she must have a rough guess about your current situation.

"So, it is at times like this that we need to give her a way out, so that she doesn't have to worry about what to do if you really confess to her."

"Hey?"

So, listening to these words, Kudo Shinichi was obviously a little confused and asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

Feeling that he did not understand the meaning of Kudo Yukiko's words, Kudo Shinichi asked:

After all, after hearing this, Kudo Shinichi was a little confused. Was his mother going to hide it or not?

Does Xiaolan know it or not?

"What do you mean? Xiaoxin, don't think too much about it. Just think about what to do next. Didn't Xiaolan say she would come to see you tomorrow? So have you thought about what to do tomorrow?"

With a slight smile, Kudo Yukiko looked at Kudo Shinichi and said this. At the same time, Kudo Yukiko took out a bank card and placed it on the table in front of Kudo Shinichi, saying with a teasing smile:

"This is your dad's gold card. If there's anything you want to do, take this opportunity to indulge yourself!"

"what?"

Suddenly, his mother changed the topic again. Kudo Shinichi was obviously completely confused about what his mother wanted to do——

Besides, I'm with Xiaolan tomorrow...

"Hey, hey... why do you need a gold card? Isn't it just taking the antidote to transform back once? Is there any need to make a fuss?"

So, after being reminded by Yukiko Kudo, Shinichi Kudo still had some thoughts in his mind, but...

Turning his head away, a little embarrassed, Kudo Shinichi said: "Also, I have no idea how they did it. Why did Conan appear out of nowhere?"

As if wanting to change the subject, Kudo Shinichi asked about this matter.

"Well, this is of course my secret! If it weren't for me, how could it be so realistic this time!"

Kudo Yukiko said this a bit boastfully. At the same time, in her heart, there were many things about what happened this time that she couldn't tell Kudo Shinichi clearly -

For example, Kudo Shinichi reminded himself that the last time when Xiaoxin was suspected, he stepped in to help him out. Would this have made Xiaolan alert...

For Shin-chan, what he is worried about is that Ran has realized that everyone is hiding the truth for Shin-chan, so if they continue to hide the truth, Ran may not believe it anymore.

But, for Yukiko Kudo, the key to the problem has never been whether Xiaolan will believe it, but what choice Xiaolan herself will make.

Therefore, from her own perspective, what Kudo Yukiko was really worried about was what Shin-chan said -

Because, this thing never happened at all, and I never did what Xiaoxin said to do to help him out.

Therefore, the self they saw at that time was not themselves...

Regarding this matter, Gao Yuan...

……

"So, do you see how we did it?"

At the same time, while the mother and son were talking like this in Kudo's house, on the other side, in Akechi's house, Gao Yuan was looking at Ai and Conan in front of him, but he was directly facing "Conan"'s questioning, as if to confirm whether Gao Yuan could see what Kudo Yukiko had done to create the situation where Kudo Shinichi and Conan were present at the same time without anyone being missing.

In this regard, seeing that it was "Conan" who asked this question, Gao Yuan looked around at the two people in front of him and probably already had the answer in his mind -

"Actually, it's very simple. The current Conan... is Haibara, right? Only you can pretend to be Conan without revealing any flaws in front of the children. As for Haibara..."

Gao Yuan sighed and said this, then looked at "Xiao Ai"——

According to my own guess, Conan is not Conan, so Ai is not Ai either.

If Ai is pretending to be Conan, then there is someone else pretending to be Ai.

And this candidate...

"Ava?"

Gao Yuan tentatively said the name.

Suddenly, hearing this answer, "Xiao Ai" smiled very satisfied, and then heard her voice change slightly, and then said in a completely different tone from Xiao Ai:

"As expected of Akechi-nii! I've been found out..."

-Come to think of it, when Kudo Yukiko came back, she said she brought Ava Porter's email to Ai, but in reality, she just came back quietly with Ava Porter?

At this moment, listening to what "Xiao Ai" said, Gao Yuan has confirmed that what he thought was right... (End of this chapter)
