Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

He's exposed!

This was Toru Amuro's first reaction, but he thought he might have overthought.

Hagiwara, Matsuda, and a voice that sounded very similar to Date Kou's, all told him that someone in the organization had obtained the list of students who had entered the school that year. As for why they checked his batch, he thought that there might be a problem with Jing.

He should not have been completely exposed, otherwise he would not have been asked to investigate directly, but Gin would have come directly to the door with a gun.

[Did you learn about my appearance from that batch of graduating students? ]

He felt that it was probably because of the discovery of Morobushi Kagemitsu's true identity that the situation of that group of police academy students was exposed. As a person who often appeared in the school and on the ranking list as a group of five, he was immediately suspected even though his file was hidden but he was still remembered by most police officers.

[But are these people... sent by the organization to test us? ]

Toru Amuro's gaze slowly moved from the bandages and scarf to the little boy.

It doesn't seem like it. If the organization wanted to test him, they wouldn't use such a crude method. It's as if they were trying to tell him that he has been exposed, which would only make him hide deeper.

"Anyway, we can't get 10 million yen together right now, so why don't we contact Mr. Kudo Yusaku?" Sato Miwako looked at Mao Lilan: "I don't have his number, does Xiaolan know?"

"I don't know about Shinichi's father's phone number either... They rarely even call Shinichi. They always call Dr. Agasa to find out about Shinichi's recent situation."

"Won't this Kudo-kun call his parents himself?" Toru Amuro suddenly remembered that the name Kudo Shinichi seemed to have appeared on a drug testing list of the organization. He felt that the famous Heisei Holmes should not be caught by the organization, and he always thought it was someone with the same name.

"Shinichi, he's been complaining about his parents abandoning him to go to America, so in order to prove to his parents that he can live well without them, he hasn't wanted to call them for over a year."

Although the two sides are still a lively family after the parents come back, after all, the children are no longer clinging to their parents.

"Then let Kudo-kun tell his father to pay 10 million yen as ransom." Sato Miwako nodded: "Xiaolan, call Kudo-kun."

"Eh……"

Mao Lilan thought of her childhood friend who became Conan, and guessed that this guy must have gotten into some trouble to be in his current state. She shook her head and said, "I haven't seen Shinichi for a while, and I haven't called him."

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Miwako Sato frowned. “If we report this to the Metropolitan Police Department, we might be able to get the same amount of ransom, but the police will definitely get heavily involved.”

"That won't do. What if the kidnappers kill the hostage?"

The three Fujiwara people all shook their heads, firmly denying Sato Miwako's statement, especially Matsuda Jinpei, who shook his head the fastest.

"Well, actually I know a pocket money card of Shinichi..."

Mao Lilan interrupted the arguing and said: "The money in there is probably enough." "But if we don't tell Kudo-kun, it will be inconvenient to use the money, right?" Amuro Toru was a little curious. From the information he collected, it seemed that the popular Kudo Shinichi had no plans for a romantic relationship with this girl.

That should be the case. Otherwise, what idiot would delay dating the girl he likes until the second year of high school? He would have to act earlier, not to mention that Mao Li Ran is an absolute beauty.

As soon as he realized that he liked the doctor, Toru Amuro went to her house every day. He absolutely couldn't believe that there was such a procrastinating person.

"Shinichi will definitely agree. No matter if this person is his brother or not, he will agree to take out the money to use, because he is Shinichi." Mao Lilan said seriously: "Officer Sato and I will go to Shinichi's house now. Mr. Amuro and Mr. Matsuda, the four of you, go to the place mentioned in the recording first and take a look around."

"This is the only way to go."

……

"Hey, don't pull me..."

Conan was speechless as he looked at the high school student next to him who was holding his hand, dressed in all black, wearing a hat and a mask.

"I told you I'd stay at Dr. Agasa's house tonight, why are you dragging me back to the Mori Detective Agency?"

"Stop talking nonsense. This is all your fault. My identity has been exposed by Xiaolan. Don't you have to play a good show with me?"

Edogawa, who had transformed into Kudo Shinichi, whispered, "I've thought about it. As long as I tell Xiaolan that I got into trouble and had to turn into a child to escape, and that I will share the identity of Edogawa Conan with you, she will definitely believe it."

"Then have you ever thought about how to explain to her why I look exactly like you when you were a child?"

Conan did not object to Kudo Shinichi's plan. In his opinion, as long as this guy did not continue to hide it from Mouri Ran, it would be fine. It was not like he really wanted his childhood sweetheart to face the organization with him.

"That's not easy. Just say you're my brother." Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment and said, "My mom pretended to be Edogawa Fumiyo before. I might as well just say you're my dad's illegitimate son."

"Where did you get this inspiration from? It looks familiar..."

"Hey, I'm smart, right?"

"Then if there are a few more people who look like you in the future, I'm afraid my father's reputation will be ruined."

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes: "How is it possible that there is a third isomorph in another world?"

[Not to mention those from other worlds, there are quite a few from the same world...]

"Hmm? Weird, why aren't the lights on in the Maori Detective Agency? Where's Xiaolan?" (End of this chapter)
