The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1349 Is Shinichi Kudo Dead?

As a karate master, the unicorn girl Ran's physique is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Just as everyone found the village police station, Xiaolan, who had already returned to the hotel, turned around and ran back:
"Conan, Conan isn't at the hotel!"

Among these people, the only one who didn't know the situation exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't that child staying obediently in the hotel?!"

"no!"

Xiao Lan gasped for breath, "The villagers said he went into the forest alone!"

Heiji Hattori knew what Conan had gone off to do.

Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry at the moment.

Instead, he was thinking about how to lie for his best friend.

After a brief moment of thought, he said, "He wouldn't have gone to see that Kudo guy, would he?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan was taken aback. "But when I was asking the villagers, I didn't see anyone else around him."

Hattori Heiji thought about how Fujino usually fooled people, then waved his finger and answered seriously, "It's also possible that Kudo and Conan arranged to meet in the forest."

"Think about it, is Conan the type to run around like that normally?"

Xiaolan: "..."

I think it looks quite similar...

Haibara Ai:"……"

It's really hard to say.

Hattori Heiji's face darkened for a moment, but since his face was already quite dark, his complexion didn't change much after the darkening.

Kazuha, still unaware of the situation, is an ordinary person, and at this moment, she offers advice typical of ordinary people:
"Let's go find Conan!"

"It wouldn't be good if we encountered any danger in the forest..."

Hattori Heiji coughed lightly: "With Kudo around, what danger could he possibly be in?"

Kazuha glanced at her childhood friend who was kissing her: "What if Conan doesn't find that unreliable Kudo who's just as bad as you, or what if he encounters danger on the road?"

"Ah this..."

Heiji Hattori once again doubted whether his childhood friend was really his childhood friend.

After being told that, Hattori Heiji had nothing to say.

He had no choice but to abandon the case that hadn't been fully investigated and run into the forest to look for the person.

Just as they entered the forest, they heard the conversation of two men:
"Have you heard? Someone died here!"

"What dead person?"

"A floating corpse! A corpse has surfaced!"

"Oh, I think I heard that my mom even brought a sheet to cover him up."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan panicked: "Is that person a child?!"

"What kid?"

"I heard he's a high school student..."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

A vague guess had already formed in my mind.

Following the two men, the group headed to the small lake in the forest.

Then, they saw a naked, soaking wet, humanoid creature lying on the ground, covered with a blanket, as if it had just been pulled from the water.

That face was also very familiar.

It was none other than Shinichi Kudo.

Ran was the first to be confused: "Shinichi!?"

"Kudo?!"

"Dead?!"

For a moment, everyone present was shocked, surprised, and at a loss as they looked at the familiar faces not far away.

Shinichi Kudo is dead?!
This was the thought that flashed through the minds of everyone present at that moment.

"Shinichi!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After Ran came to her senses, she rushed over and knelt down next to Shinichi Kudo's body, crying.

She looked exactly like a young widow mourning her death.

Hattori Heiji sighed, clenched his fist, and took off his hat to give a silent salute. Seeing this, Kazuha also silently lowered her head and watched in unison.

Ai Haibara, who was following behind, was stunned for a moment, and then sighed inexplicably:
"They clearly said it would be dangerous to go there..."

Why can't you listen to me?

"He was obedient enough to take the medicine before he died."

Ai Haibara felt a pang of sadness, a deep sense of melancholy settling in her heart.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite impressive.

Seeing the group of people, whose roles were fully committed and who were now wailing on the spot, Fujino couldn't help but feel speechless.

Why are you all starting to mourn now?
Isn't that a bit too technical?
Don't you need to prepare your emotions?
They're not dead yet!

You're crying too soon!
Unable to bear watching any longer, he slowly walked forward, reached out to feel her pulse, and coughed lightly.
"Ahem, well, stop crying, he's not dead yet."

"Huh? He's not dead?!"

"The pulse is still beating, he's not dead. If he were dead, wouldn't his body be stiff?"

"Ah this..."

"Then why did you just say it was a floating corpse?"

For a moment, everyone present was stunned again, feeling a little embarrassed.

At this moment, even Shinichi Kudo, who was lying on the ground and was already 'dead,' seemed unable to bear this awkward scene.

He slowly sat up from the ground, his hair soaked to the bone, and rubbed his head.

"Kudo, what are you doing here?!"

Hattori Heiji composed himself, put his hat back on, and looked at Kudo Shinichi with a speechless expression.

He wasn't surprised by Shinichi Kudo's appearance, but he was surprised that he was there.

He knew the young woman next to him; apparently, she had developed some kind of antidote…

Since Kudo had reverted to his original form before, it wasn't surprising anymore.

Yeah, it must be that this guy took the antidote and turned back.

However, Shinichi Kudo looked completely bewildered.

"Kudo? That's my...name?"

"what?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Heiji Hattori was the first to lose his temper: "Hey, Kudo, there's a limit to your jokes, okay? These kinds of cheesy jokes are really boring!"

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo still looked puzzled, Kazuha guessed, "Could it be that he fell into the water and lost his memory, just like in the TV dramas?"

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was speechless. "How could that be? Don't bring those messy things you read into your real life!"

Kazuha looked displeased: "But how are we supposed to explain this now!"

"Well..."

Hattori Heiji thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of any possible explanation.

In the end, they could only turn their attention to Ai Haibara, the eldest sister who knew Kudo's body best.

After all, the drug that turned this guy back to normal like a magician was developed by this young lady.

In response, our little sister Ai Haibara shook her head slightly in exasperation.

You asked me what's going on? I'm the one who should be asking that too!
They were just saying they were dead, but now they're alive again, and then they've lost their memory...

I don't understand the situation either, okay?

After taking the medicine and reverting back to normal, I suddenly lost my memory...

Logically speaking, side effects like amnesia shouldn't occur.

Could it be that my previous threats to this guy have come true?

I really have no idea what circumstances led this guy to take the antidote.

Ai Haibara's little head was also pondering what exactly was going on.

As a drug developer, she found this quite amazing.

However, it's not impossible.

The experiments were conducted using white mice.

It's really hard to tell whether a lab mouse has amnesia or not.
