Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Well, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Kudo Yuji, the second son of... Kudo Yusaku."

In the Mouri Detective Agency, Kudo Yuji, who was sitting on the sofa, took the coffee handed to him by Mouri Ran and nodded in thanks.

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, I'm a little hungry. Could you please go upstairs and make me something to eat?"

He clapped his hands vigorously, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "For the sake of the great fried chicken, I can promise not to compete with you and Shinichi for the Kudo family's property."

"No need to make such a promise... Who else... Who wants to inherit with Shinichi... inherit the family property or something!" Mouri Ran glared at Yuuji, walked out of the second floor with a red face, and prepared to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some chicken.

"Okay, now that Xiaolan is gone, we can get down to business."

As soon as Mouri Ran left, Yuji immediately regained his relaxed state and looked around the Mouri Detective Agency in this world in front of Conan and Kudo Shinichi.

After touching here and there, and seeing that Uncle Maori's drawer still contained those classic photo books, Yuuji sat back on the sofa with disgust as Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched.

In order to get rid of Toru Amuro in this world, Yuji privately asked the suspicious three people, Kanemoto, to lead him away, and secretly sent a message to Conan and the other two to return to the office to meet.

"You guy, Officer Matsuda's face was really sour when he saw the phone. What did you do again?"

Conan jumped off the sofa, walked over to Yuji and glared at his brother: "And it's impossible for you to do such a big thing in this world alone. You really went to find Vermouth."

When Kudo Shinichi heard the organization members' words, his expression of watching the fun suddenly changed and he stared at Kudo Yuuji.

"She did help me a lot. She borrowed the people from my organization, designed the illusion that the waterway on that street happened to be broken within a day, rented shops and cooperated with the performance..."

"Doesn't that mean Vermouth took care of everything?!" Conan held his head and shook his head, "I really can't understand it. You don't recognize her as your mother in this world, so why would she obey you so much?"

"First, how do you know I didn't admit it? Second, I paid for the extras after all... Don't look at me like that, just tell me whether I earned the 10 million or not!"

He kidnapped me and earned 10 million from my brother in this world. What's wrong with this money being his? Besides, Kudo Shinichi only needs to pay the money, but he has to sneak into his room at home to check how much money this guy has.

"Fortunately, you still have a lot of money without me, otherwise I would have to find a way to get some money from other places."

"You mean, go and collude with those criminal gangs and make some money that is against the law? I really don't understand why there is someone like you in the Kudo family!" Kudo Shinichi frowned and mocked Yuji in a sarcastic way, but did not notice Conan's dissatisfaction.

[Will this guy get me into trouble later if he says something like this? 】

"Did this guy take the wrong medicine?" Kudo Yuji was stunned for a moment. Since he was born, this was the first time he saw this face talking to him like this. It was quite... fresh?
"You cheated him out of 10 million, and you don't allow him to get angry. Let him talk." Conan stood on tiptoe and patted Yuji's shoulder, comforting his brother: "Don't bother with this ordinary face."

In order to avoid being retaliated by his brother afterwards, he even laughed at himself.

"And you, why don't you care at all? If he is really his brother, you should guide him onto the right path. Why do you watch him get so close to the organization?!"

"I'm so confused after hearing this. This guy is just like you in the past." Yuji tickled his ears with his fingers, then said calmly, "Why do you think I got involved with the organization? It's because I had a reckless brother who almost got me killed for his sense of justice."

"what?"

"You don't think that reality is a game, and everyone is playing by the rules of not letting the family suffer. I heard from the teacher that after Kudo Shinichi was drugged by the organization, in order to maintain the secrecy of the organization, there was a period of time when a sniper rifle was pointed at my head every day."

Kudo Yuji spread his hands and said, "Dad and mom too. If Vermouth hadn't stopped them in the United States, the Kudo family would have been wiped out long ago."

Kudo Shinichi opened and closed his mouth, and just lowered his head silently: "Sorry."

"I have tried my best to collect all kinds of information in the organization, but I am still confused about the organization. The only few pieces of information I know are all due to luck. You actually blame me. Aren't you too arrogant, Kudo-kun?" "I am so sorry."

"Besides, organizations are not good things. In our world, other secret organizations are similar. The Suzuki Group also has a special group to deal with problems privately. The police chief nominated by the Ooka Group killed a lot of police officers who did not listen to him and opposed Ooka as soon as he took office. It is said that some of them were excellent police officers in the past."

Yuji snapped his fingers and said, "What ugly capitalists and old bureaucrats! Damn it! When will they let me take over?"

"Hey, let me speak my mind, bro." Conan rolled his eyes. "You have a really bad tongue. Why don't you say that one of these two guys wants desperately to be your father-in-law, while the other is so happy to be called grandpa every day."

"I am enduring humiliation, living in disgrace, keeping a low profile, pretending to be friendly with them, and fighting against the evil power of capital in my own way." Yuji coughed and said, "Besides, criticizing them does not conflict with calling me grandpa. I can criticize them even more fiercely."

【Just criticism, right? 】

"Ahem, so you don't need to apologize to me. It has nothing to do with you. My brother and I are brothers. It's just a sniper rifle. Don't underestimate the bond between the Kudo brothers."

"Brother?!"

Kudo Yuji looked at Conan, who was very moved, and reached out to push his big head aside.

"As for you, you have no right to tell me this. In this world, Kudo Yusaku has only one son, so you and I have nothing to do with each other." Kudo Yuji said seriously: "To me, you are just the most familiar stranger."

"The most familiar...stranger?"

"That's right, just like I don't know if you would hide pornographic books behind the Sherlock Holmes collection, or if Xiaolan would be so excited that she couldn't sleep when she came to live at home, and then run to my room and act crazy."

"But you know where I'm stuck, right? We can't be said to be strangers anymore." Kudo Shinya paused.

"I'd better introduce myself. My name is Kudo Shinichi, and I'm the...eldest son of the Kudo family."

"Hey, he's not the only son but the eldest son, are you really looking forward to having a younger brother who will compete with you for the family property?"

"You know that's not what I meant."

Conan looked at the two people whose atmosphere suddenly improved, frowned, and immediately grabbed Yuji's sleeve.

"what?"

"I'm your brother."

"Oh."

"You are my brother."

"Ah."

"I am the only one who is considered your real brother."

"Stop whining and whining. How old are you? So annoying."

Kudo Shinichi finally knew what it would look like if he wanted to kill someone one day. (End of this chapter)
