The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1235: Innocent Hongye is played around by Yuanzi
"Next, I plan to go to the rooftop to take a look. Hey, Lan, do you want to go to the observation deck with me?"

Kuroba Kaito suggested, silently observing Conan's reaction with his peripheral vision, and smiled at Xiaolan and invited her: "The scenery there is very nice."

"!!!"

Conan immediately felt a sense of threat, and his heart was alarmed. He immediately thought quickly:
I wonder what this guy wants to do!
He actually invited Xiaolan to go to the observation deck or something, is that wrong?

This hateful guy, could it be that he has some thoughts about Xiaolan?
Hey, you are using my identity now!

Could it be that he wants to play a (freshman) front (mouth second) foul? !
Conan felt his face turn green, and he immediately rushed out and shouted:
"I also need to go!"

At this time, Yuanzi, who was following Xiaolan, glanced at the four-eyed little ghost who suddenly jumped out.

Even though she personally dislikes Kudo Shinichi, this does not prevent him from being a good friend who grew up with her. The same is true for Xiaolan, of course, so she is still very happy to see both of them.

So, facing the four-eyed brat who wanted to disturb the two of them, she said coldly:
"Hey, little kid with glasses, what are you doing following them? Are you trying to be a third wheel?"

When Conan saw that Sonoko, the gossipy woman, was actually helping Kid, he immediately cursed her in his heart. You are a bad friend who grew up with me, but you couldn't even recognize that the other person was Kid in disguise. What's the use of you!

So, out of desperation, he grabbed Xiaolan's skirt and started throwing a tantrum:

"I just want to go!"

"I want to go too, I want to go too!"

"Iku, Iku, Iku!"

"..."

Everyone felt ashamed when they saw Conan like this.

For some reason I feel like it's a bit like a naughty kid who asks his mother to buy him a toy he likes on the street, but starts to act up when his mother refuses to buy it.

Dr. Agasa felt that his neighbor was somewhat ill.

Fujino felt that this boy must have acted out the passive role of an elementary school student.

Now it doesn’t seem staged at all.

It's simply a true portrayal of himself.

Kuroba Kaito looked at the scene in front of him and laughed evilly in his heart: "This guy is really interesting. He is so afraid that his childhood sweetheart will be snatched away that he doesn't even care about his dignity..."

He didn't think there was anything incomprehensible about the other party's actions.

He is confident enough in his acting skills.

I look so much like Kudo, maybe even if I pretend to be Kudo, no one will notice. As long as I act long enough, I will be Kudo. Then, Xiaolan will mistake me for Kudo, and there is a chance that some strange things will happen as described in the book.

But, this guy is a bit mean-minded and tries to judge others by their own standards!

I, Kuroba Kaito, am a serious man, how could I do such a thing?

How can being a thief Kudo compare to being a phantom thief Xiang?

I have Aoko waiting for me at home. I won’t play detective role-playing games like you and leave my childhood sweetheart aside!
Kuroba Kaito was serious and thought secretly.

…………

At this time, Xiaolan was helpless as she watched Conan throwing a tantrum.

She could only pull her skirt hard to avoid embarrassment.

At the same time, I secretly thanked myself in my heart: Fortunately, I was wearing a denim dress today, otherwise the dress would probably have been torn off by this silly kid...

Seeing that this was not a solution, she could only smile awkwardly and suggested, "Well, since the scenery is nice, let's go up and take a look together."

When Yuanzi saw this scene, she curled her lips and felt that her best friend was still too soft-hearted.

If it were me, if this little brat dared to disturb my good thing, I would kick him to the ground.

Because Conan's appearance was so abstract, even the little ones watching this scene couldn't help but tease him:

"Look at this Conan, he's just lame!"

"She usually looks quite mature, but in front of Sister Xiaolan, she looks like this..."

"It is because of people like this that we are disliked by adults."

Genta and Mitsuhiko complained like this, expressing their condemnation of Conan.

Ayumi said seriously: "Don't say that!"

"At Conan's age, it's time to act like a spoiled brat!"

Ayumi's tone was mature, as if an older sister was talking to her younger brother.

Mitsuhiko and Yuanta touched their chins after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, they suddenly realized:
"I see, so that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

"If you put it that way, then you are no different from a child."

"Conan is just a kid."

"That's right..."

"..."

Haibara Ai stood aside, listening to the teasing of the little ones, with the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

So, you guys are also children, right?

Why does the tone sound like an adult?

Haibara Ai was speechless, but it was not her first day getting along with these little ones and she had already gotten used to them.

He quickly turned to Conan, a look of interest in his eyes.

A 17-year-old high school detective actually has to resort to acting like a spoiled child to prevent a thief pretending to be him from stealing his girlfriend. This drama is more interesting than any TV show or movie.

At this time, Conan had completely given up his face.

He said: Facing the risk of being beaten by Kaito Kid, what kind of dignity do I have?

Face, what is that?
Just laugh at what you are ridiculed or laughed at!
It’s better than letting this guy be alone with Xiaolan!
This is what the little vinegar king of Southeast Asia looks like.

…………

Following the suggestion, the group went to the observation deck upstairs.

While going upstairs, Hakuba approached Kudo Shinichi.

He has always wanted to meet this Kudo Shinichi.

But there was never a chance...

After finally meeting, I naturally had to communicate with him. I introduced myself: "Kudou-kun, we finally meet. I have heard of you for a long time."

"This side too... I've heard Hattori talk about you, too."

"Is that so? He's the son of the Minister of the Grand Edition?"

Hakuba Tan thought about it and thought of Hattori Heiji, who was from Osaka, and was also a second-generation official like himself and had worked with him before.

Kuroba Kaito had no expression on his face, but he was complaining in his heart: "So, you are really a bureaucrat..."

"Come to think of it, I still rely on the fact that I'm the father of the Osaka headquarters manager, right?"

"It really makes you look like your father is the Chief Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Kuroba Kaito was speechless for a while, but then he changed his mind and felt an indescribable feeling about knowing this guy who had been chasing him and was in the same class with him in another identity.

This guy who always messes with me didn't even recognize me and introduced myself as a high school detective.

This feels so good!
Looks like I have to dress up as this guy more often in the future...

I just wonder what expression this guy would have when he finds out that I’m pretending to be Kudo Shinichi?

Just thinking about Kuroba Kaito is exciting.

As the two were talking, Bai Ba Tan felt something was wrong.

Why does this Kudo always feel familiar?

Or is the other person familiar with me?
But I have never met Kudo Shinichi in person.

Maybe it's an illusion?
I just don't know why the little brother called this guy Kaito Kid. But since there is no problem with his face, it should be Kudo Shinichi, right?

Hakuba Tan could only think this way, and secretly said in his heart: "It should be the son of the Osaka headmaster who mentioned me to Kudo..."

Fujino silently watched the two enemies chatting together and felt that it was a bit outrageous.

Of course, what's outrageous is that even Hakuba Tan couldn't help but wonder what the difference is between Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi.

Don't worry there's some weird connection between these two...

After all, Conan's mother used to be a disciple of Touzi's father, Kuroba Toichi.

If there really is some connection, then it means that I am behind in information gap.

Fujino was complaining in his heart, when he suddenly heard some very outrageous conversations. He immediately turned around and looked at the girls behind him.

Hongye followed behind Xiaolan and Sonoko, looking at Kudo Shinichi who was walking in front of her with Fujino.

She was quite curious about this person who only knew about others.

So, he pulled Sonoko's little hand and asked in a low voice: "Well, so, this is the 'legendary' Kudo Shinichi that you often mention?"

"Ah, that's him."

Yuanzi felt the touch of the soft little hand and responded with certainty, "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, but you can't fake this cocky look if you're not the real person."

"Haven't seen you for a long time?"

"Yes."

Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh and complain: "Come to think of it, I've told you about this guy before. He suddenly left Xiaolan and ran off somewhere. He never came back. When I asked him, he was busy with a case or something. There's no news about him. I really don't know what he's busy with. He said he was solving a case, but there's no news about him at all..."

"This……"

Hongye thought for a moment: "Could it be some special case?"

"What special case?"

Sonoko complained, "How can he be a spy when he's just a high school student? I think he must have someone outside!"

"???"

Hongye listened to Sonoko's complaints and looked at Kudo. She seemed to be thinking about something, then she seemed to have thought of something and whispered, "No way?"

Fujino: "..."

No, Hongye, little Hongye, you wouldn’t really believe it, would you?
He wanted to stop Yuanzi from deceiving Hongye any further, but after thinking that it was inappropriate for him to eavesdrop, he gave up.

So, Yuanzi crossed his arms and became serious:
"Why not?"

"This guy has always been popular with girls, and he's also very lecherous!"

"..."

Hongye was silent for a while after hearing this, and looked at Kudo in a daze for a moment.

She often chats with Sonoko and Xiaolan.

Although she and Sonoko don't get along well, as the saying goes, enemies can sometimes be friends, so a small matter does not prevent the girls from establishing a deep friendship.

According to Sonoko's description, Kudo Shinichi has already constructed an image of a pure playboy and scumbag in her mind.

For example, he left his girlfriend and ran away secretly, and didn't call her for a long time, and when he did call her, he was always secretive and so on...

Hongye thought about all kinds of things, and combined with what Yuanzi said today, she felt that what Yuanzi said was inexplicably very reasonable.

Then he nodded deeply, and there was a complicated look in his eyes when he looked at Kudo.

"So you don't really believe it?"

"Can you still believe what Sonoko said?!"

The corner of Fujino's mouth twitched as he eavesdropped, and he complained in his heart.

It feels like the red leaves, which were relatively simple in some ways, are now somewhat manipulated by the gardener.

…………

The platform area upstairs is a restaurant.

In addition to being able to enjoy the beautiful view overlooking the city, you can also dine here.

It was already afternoon, the sun was setting as it followed its trajectory down the mountain, the sunset was red, and the old and young girl group who had not participated in the investigation but had come here to slack off ran off to buy something to eat.

While waiting, the three little ones gathered around the window, looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed:

“The scenery here is amazing!”

"Yuanta, you've been talking about how amazing you are since just now. Can you please stop acting like you've never seen the world?"

"Ha, didn't you just do the same..."

Yuanta and Mitsuhiko quarrel and complain about each other every day.

Kudo, who disguised himself as Kuroba Kaito, chatted with Hakuba Fujino and Conan for a while.

It's just some cases or something.

But for a thief like Kuroba Kaito who rarely encounters murder cases, these are simply blind spots in knowledge.

I feel like this group of detectives is putting too much pressure on me.

So, he turned his gaze and looked at the little ones: "This is really a magnificent view. It can only be described as amazing."

"Come to think of it, this must be Kudo-nii-san..."

"It seems to be Sister Xiaolan's boyfriend."

"By the way, Kudo-nii and Xiaolan-nii are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since they were young?!"

"And there's more..."

The little ones looked at Kudo, ignored the previous question, and started gossiping about Kudo in front of them.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Are kids nowadays so mature?

Xiaolan, Sonoko and Momiji are looking at the menu at the ordering counter.

Looking at Kudo Shinichi who was hanging out with Fujino, Hakuba, and Conan behind her, her brows furrowed slightly.

Sonoko spoke up and sighed, "This guy is still the same as always."

"Ok?"

"That's what I mean. I finally got here to meet you, but this guy is off investigating a case instead of catching up with you."

Facing the doubtful Xiaolan, Yuanzi said indignantly, "This guy is really abominable. He doesn't know how to cherish a cute girl like you, Xiaolan. I think this guy must have someone else outside!"

"Well, for men like this, it's better for you to see clearly as soon as possible, Xiaolan."

Hongye agreed with a hint of disdain in her tone.

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and looked at Hongye blankly.

She was a little confused as to why Miss Momiji was so aggressive towards Kudo Shinichi.

So he smiled awkwardly and said, "Hongye, this should be the first time you see Shinichi..."

"I've heard from Sonoko about this guy's romantic past."

Hongye crossed her arms and said seriously, "Excellent people will definitely have many admirers around them. It doesn't really matter if there are more people of the opposite sex around them..."

"But if the other party forgets his roots and favors his concubine over his wife, then you'd better see clearly as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't have any chance to regret it after you become a shrew!"

"???"

Xiaolan looked at Hongye in front of her, who was serious and even seemed to be trying to persuade her, and silently typed a series of question marks.
