I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 539 These are all toys (1st update)
A secluded corner of a luxury casino ship restaurant.

Kudo Yusaku led Shinichi, who had returned to his original form, to a corner partially hidden by a bonsai palm tree.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Yusaku lowered his voice, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with rare anger. "Taking those experimental drugs without permission? What if there are side effects?"

Shinichi could feel his father's trembling fingertips, but he stubbornly raised his head: "I know the risks. But Dad, I'm not the little kid who needs your protection anymore."

Looking directly into Yusaku Kudo's eyes, he said with some dissatisfaction, "You can trust Uncle Mori, so why can't you trust me?"

These words were like a key, instantly unlocking Yusaku's tightly furrowed brow.

He released his grip, let out a long sigh, took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples: "You're right... I was just too worried about your safety."

"Perhaps it's time to expose you to these things. After all..."

He smiled with his familiar, confident curve: "You are my son."

"I won't let you down!" Shinichi's eyes lit up with joy! He felt he was qualified to act alongside his father.

With the father and son working together this time, what can't they handle?

When they returned to the restaurant, Hattori Heiji was leaning back in his chair, stirring his lemonade with a straw.

"Have you reached an agreement?" Heiji asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yusaku nodded: "Hattori-kun, thank you for helping us sneak in."

“Sure, you can.” Heiji sat up straight and reminded him, “But you two had better pretend. After causing such a scene at the casino, I bet half the people on the ship remember your faces.”

“No problem.” Yusaku said unhurriedly, “Go back to my room later and I’ll disguise myself.”

"And what about us?" Kazuha suddenly jumped up from her seat, her eyes sparkling. "What should we do?"

Heiji waved his hand without thinking: "You girls shouldn't get involved. Just wait for news on the ship."

"Why should I?" Kazuha's face flushed bright red instantly. "Do you look down on girls?"

"Hey, hey, don't go around attacking women's feminists like that!" Heiji pressed his temples, his head throbbing. "This is really dangerous, I'm not kidding! One wrong move and you could lose your life!!"

"I'm not afraid!" Kazuha said, sticking out her neck.

"Fine, I'm scared!" Heiji said helplessly. "If something happens to you, how can I face your parents?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shiraishi E rubbed her temples and interrupted impatiently, "That's enough."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority: "Here's what we'll do: Ran, Sonoko, Kazuha, and I will be on standby on the deck. If you run into trouble down there, we'll be there to help you."

This compromise was immediately approved by everyone except Kazuha.

Ran and Sonoko quietly tugged at Kazuha's sleeve and whispered, "Kazuha, now is not the time to be willful."

Kazuha bit her lip, finally letting out a reluctant "humph," and turned her face away, no longer speaking.

Upon returning to Yusaku's luxury suite, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Yusaku took out his disguise tools from his suitcase and began to reshape Shinichi's face.

Various silicone molds and special cosmetics were laid out on the table, leaving Heiji dumbfounded.

"Mr. Kudo, your equipment is so professional!" Heiji leaned closer to take a look, but was pulled away by Kogoro Mouri.

"Don't disturb them." Kogoro Mouri turned to E Shiraishi: "Shiraishi, did you bring your things?"

Shiraishi E nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll go get it."

He left the room, wandered around the empty corridor a few times, and then found a secluded spot to go on a shopping spree at the Bandit Mall.

Because I really don't want to fight "zombies" anymore; there's no challenge or difficulty at all.

So he decided to arm these guys to the teeth and let them deal with it themselves!

We need to buy submachine guns, we need to buy pistols, bullets are essential, hand grenades are a must, and C4 bombs are for last-ditch efforts!
Needless to say, bulletproof vests are lifesavers. After thinking it over, Shiraishi Ei reluctantly spent a fortune to buy them some comfortable yet high-performance Kevlar bulletproof shirts!

Buy this and buy that.

He had originally planned to use a suitcase, but he soon realized that he would need a suitcase large enough to hold an adult corpse.

Pulling her heavy suitcase, Shiraishi E returned to her room.

All eyes were on his large suitcase.

Yuzaku was shocked: "You brought such a big suitcase full of gear up here? Didn't anyone check you?"

Shiraishi E smiled slightly and said, "I asked a friend to bring it up."

Kogoro Mouri wasn't interested in his friend and eagerly went up to him, asking, "What good stuff is inside?"

Shiraishi laid the box flat on the bed, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and opened the lid.

Heiji leaned closer to take a look and immediately gasped.

The box contained four submachine guns, four Glock pistols, dozens of magazines, and grenades and plastic bombs that filled the remaining space.

The metal parts gleamed with a cold light under the lamp.

There were also four bulletproof vests lying there quietly.

"You bastard," Heiji's voice trembled slightly, "where did you get all this weaponry? Is this... is this legal?"

Shiraishi E's lips curled up slightly: "What weapons? These are all toy guns, used to scare people."

Heiji picked up a pistol, its heavy weight making him roll his eyes: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You call this a toy with its recoil buffer and rifling?"

Kogoro Mouri had already started putting on his bulletproof vest and equipping himself with weapons without any hesitation, his movements so practiced they drew attention: "Now that's what you call being prepared! This gives me an overwhelming sense of security!!"

Seeing that Heiji was still hesitating, Shiraishi E handed him a pistol: "Take it, your life is more important than the law."

In the end, Heiji also compromised and began stuffing various equipment onto his body.

Shiraishi E then took out several seemingly ordinary rings and distributed them to everyone: "The sapphire inside the ring is a signal transmitter. Press it when you encounter danger, and I will lock onto your location."

"How thoughtful!" Kogoro Mori proudly slipped the ring onto his ring finger. "Now I can really go all out and get things done!"

Yusaku and Shinichi also expressed their sincere gratitude.

Heiji then explained the plan.

Heiji and Shinichi, disguised as peripheral members of the organization, escorted Kogoro Mouri and Yusaku Kudo, two "gamblers in debt," to the lower deck.

Once they've infiltrated, they'll plant bombs everywhere, causing chaos and disrupting this evil experiment.

After understanding the plan, Shiraishi E knew there was nothing more for her to do there, so she gestured for Ran, Sonoko, and Yoh to leave with her.

Xiaolan looked at her father worriedly: "Dad, you must be careful."

"Don't worry!" Kogoro Mouri laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Your dad is the police academy shooting champion!"

Sonoko waved her arm and said, "Good luck, everyone!!"

Kazuha, however, didn't say a word, and turned away angrily.

Heiji sighed helplessly, "I shouldn't have brought her..."

After finishing his makeup, Shinichi patted Heiji on the shoulder and said, "Hey Heiji, I advise you to cut things off cleanly as soon as possible, otherwise you'll hurt him... just like this time!"

Heiji was in a real bind, but he had to admit that Shinichi was right!
He had entrusted Kazuha to Ranko, but he never expected that they would also end up on this ship.

If I hadn't brought Kazuha to Tokyo, this wouldn't have happened.
