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

Chapter 570 Kogoro Mouri's Disaster (2 Updates)
Suzuki villa, late at night.

Master Baishi, who was busy at work, saw his phone ring again.

He glanced at Ayako Suzuki's stamina bar; it was almost depleted.

So he put in even more effort and completely depleted Ayako's stamina bar!

Shiraishi E then reached for her phone on the bedside table; the screen displayed the name "Kudo Yusaku".

"Hello, Yusaku?" Shiraishi E's tone was calm, not at all like someone who was busy.

On the other end of the phone, Yusaku's voice sounded slightly hurried: "Shiraishi-kun, something's happened, Kogoro Mouri has shrunk again."

Shiraishi E was quite surprised and immediately shifted her attention, asking, "What? When did this happen?"

"Just now, he... cough, in a moment of emotional agitation, suddenly turned back into an elementary school student." Yusaku's tone was subtle, as if he found it somewhat difficult to say.

Shiraishi E's eyes darkened, and she immediately understood the meaning behind it. Her lips twitched involuntarily: "...Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he looked down at Ayako Suzuki beside him.

The young lady of the Suzuki family was lying lazily in a starfish position, her fair skin flushed with a faint blush.

Shiraishi E gently stroked her long hair and said softly, "Ayako, I have urgent business to attend to, I have to go now."

Ayako groggily opened her eyes, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "You're leaving already? Will you... stay tomorrow?"

Shiraishi E has been staying here for three days, and after three days, he feels that's enough.

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "No, staying any longer won't be good for your reputation."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ayako's eyes, but she understood his concerns. She could only sigh softly, struggle to sit up, and personally help him put on his shirt, buttoning it up one button at a time, her movements as gentle as if she were handling a precious work of art.

"Be careful on the road," she said reluctantly, then picked up the intercom by the bedside and told the driver to prepare the car.

Shiraishi E straightened her clothes, glanced back at her before leaving, and said with a slight smile, "See you next time."

……

The Suzuki family's luxury sedan drove smoothly through the night. Shiraishi E leaned back in the back seat, resting with her eyes closed. After a moment, she suddenly spoke: "Let's stop here."

The driver was taken aback: "Mr. Shiraishi, we're still quite far from where you're going..."

"It's alright, I'll get a different car," Shiraishi E said calmly.

The driver didn't dare ask any more questions and respectfully stopped the car.

After getting out of the car, Shiraishi watched it drive away, then turned and walked to the nearby bus stop. After confirming that no one was around, she bought a car from the Bandit Mall and headed to the Miyano Villa.

……

Miyano Villa, underground laboratory.

Ai was intently staring at the microscope, adjusting the focus with her slender fingers, when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

Without turning her head, she said, "Coming here so late, did you make some new discovery?"

Shiraishi E walked quickly to her side, her tone grave: "The side effects have appeared; Kogoro Mouri has turned back into a child."

Ai suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her icy blue eyes: "Huh? What's going on?"

Shiraishi E shook her head: "The specifics are still unclear. I need to go to the Kudo residence to take a look."

Ai frowned and sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't show my face in my current state."

Shiraishi E thought for a moment, then took out her phone: "I can make a video call, and you can observe through your phone."

Ai Haibara nodded: "Okay."

...Kudo's residence.

Conan opened the door and saw Shiraishi E standing there. He couldn't help but complain, "You've finally arrived. If you'd been any later, Uncle Mori might have been crying his eyes out."

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow: "How bad is the situation?"

Conan pushed up his glasses, looking helpless: "Simply put, Uncle Mori had arranged to meet a hostess tonight, but he suddenly shrank at the 'crucial moment'... My dad speculates that it might be due to a surge of adrenaline that caused the drug to lose its effect."

Shiraishi E's lips twitched: "...So, does that mean he'll be a 'eunuch' from now on?"

Conan finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing: "Yeah! Now he can't go to nightclubs to squander money anymore! If Ran and Aunt Eri knew, they'd probably be so happy they'd set off firecrackers to celebrate!"

Shiraishi E shook her head helplessly and followed Conan into the living room.

On the sofa, a primary school version of Kogoro Mouri was curled up, hugging his knees, looking utterly dejected, muttering, "One million three hundred thousand... one million three hundred thousand..."

Hearing footsteps, he looked up abruptly, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Shiraishi E. He practically scrambled over and grabbed Shiraishi E's sleeve: "Shiraishi! The antidote! Give me the antidote now!!"

Shiraishi E took a small bottle out of her pocket, poured out a pill, and handed it to him: "Try it."

Without saying a word, Kogoro Mori tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Soon, his body began to tremble violently, his bones made a slight "crackling" sound, his muscles stretched again, and within a few dozen seconds, he returned to the appearance of an adult.

"Great! I'm back!" Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed, but then his smile froze, because he suddenly realized a more serious problem—

"Even though I've turned back, does that mean I can never touch a woman again?!"

He broke down, clutching his head and wailing, his voice so piercing it sounded like the end of the world.

Shiraishi calmly took out another bottle of medicine from her bag and shook it: "So, we need to verify this hypothesis."

He looked at Yusaku Kudo: "Yusaku, why don't you give it a try?"

Yusaku sighed and resignedly took the potion: "Fine, I'll be the test subject. But... I'll inject myself."

Shiraishi nodded and handed him the medicine.

Yusaku turned and walked towards the bathroom. Ten minutes later, a low "Ah—" came from inside the bathroom.

Then, the door was pushed open, and a primary school version of Yusaku Kudo walked out, looking helpless.

“It seems my guess was correct.” He pushed up his glasses, which were not actually on his nose (because they were too big after he shrunk), and spoke as calmly as if he were discussing the weather.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately knelt down with a thud, crying out to the heavens in anguish, "No—!!!"

Conan laughed so hard he slapped the floor: "Uncle Mori, it seems you'll have to abstain from sex and live a life of abstinence from now on!"

Kogoro Mori pounded the ground in anguish: "I can't drink! I can't pick up girls! What's the point of my life?!"

Yusaku made a rare comment: "...Besides women, there are many other interesting things in the world."

Looking at Conan's gloating expression, Shiraishi E suddenly revealed a meaningful smile and handed him the last bottle of medicine: "Do you want to try it too? Maybe it will make you bigger."

Conan paused, stared at the potion for a few seconds, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! I'll try it!"

He rushed into the bathroom with the medicine, and ten minutes later, an angry shout of "Damn it!!" came from inside.

Then, Conan, still looking like a primary school student, stormed out, puffed on his knees, and started pounding the ground: "Why am I still like this?! I want to turn back!"

Shiraishi stroked her chin and said, "It seems that shrinking is only triggered in an 'excited state,' and this effect doesn't work on Conan either."

Ai didn't speak on the other end of the phone; she simply wrote down the information silently.
