Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 347 First, help me narrow down the number of suspects.

Mihana General Hospital.

The red light indicating that surgery was in progress remained on, and at the entrance of the corridor, Kogoro Mouri paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

This is such a huge thing, I'm so damn unlucky.

First, his daughter was involved in a case and almost killed. Now, Conan casually goes camping and unexpectedly encounters a robbery where the robbers are fighting amongst themselves over the division of the loot.

Should I take the opportunity to go to the temple and pray?
Coupled with the things Inspector Megure always said, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kogoro Mouri's atheistic heart began to waver.

"By the way, Ran, how did you know that Conan and you have the same blood type?"

Xia Chuan looked at Xiao Lan sitting in the chair, feeling very curious.

Logically speaking, since Kaito has already impersonated Shinichi Kudo twice, Ran shouldn't doubt Conan's identity, let alone be so certain that Conan and she both have type A blood.

"Clam?"

Xiao Lan, whose lips were slightly pale and who had 400cc of blood drawn, looked weak and didn't hear what Xia Chuan said.

Natsukawa asked again, "How did you know Conan's blood type?"

This wasn't important to him, but he was still curious. Everyone has a gossipy nature, especially spies, who love to hear gossip.

"It might just be intuition."

Ran wasn't telling the truth; in fact, she had always harbored suspicions about Conan.

This suspicion didn't arise overnight; it was built up over a long period, based on Conan's behavior and personality, among other things.
Even though Conan had appeared with Shinichi, she still felt something was off.

This feeling is illogical, but girls are naturally emotional creatures and often don't reason. The feeling that their sixth sense brings them is even more credible and reliable than what they see with their eyes.

Especially now that it's been confirmed that Conan and she are indeed blood type A, this inexplicable feeling is becoming even more pronounced.

"Ok."

Xia Chuan shrugged and didn't press the matter further.

Ran was clearly hesitant, which meant she still had doubts about Conan's identity.

A few hours later, the green light in the operating room came on.

The good news is that Conan's life has been saved. His resilience is extraordinary, and even the doctors were shocked. With this level of bleeding, not to mention a child, even an adult might not be able to make it to the hospital.

All I can say is that Conan is lucky to be alive.

But for every good news, there is also a bad one.

The bad news is that the gunshot wound has caused significant damage to the body. Surgery has temporarily stabilized the situation, but risks such as infection remain. The next few days are crucial, requiring hospitalization for observation to prevent any complications.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan's previously hazy memories suddenly became clear!
This seems to be the beginning of a dangerous resurrection. In this chapter, Conan is sent to the hospital after being shot, and Ran suspects him because of his blood type.

During this time, Conan also noticed that Ran was suspicious of him again. In order to dispel Ran's doubts, he forcibly took the antidote APTX4869, which was in the experimental stage, and successfully grew to a large size for several days to settle his emotional debts. This led to a series of detective stories in which "innocent" citizens of Beika were killed by their relatives and friends.

Because Shinichi Kudo and Ai Haibara, disguised as Conan, appeared together for several days, Ran's suspicions were temporarily dispelled once again.

Yes, temporarily.

With over a thousand episodes and more than twenty theatrical films, Conan has been suspected by Ran so many times that Natsukawa doesn't even want to comment.

Speaking of which, Vermouth has only been at Teitan High School for a few days? She's incredibly lucky; she ran into Shinichi Kudo as soon as she arrived.

Xia Chuan's lips suddenly curled up slightly as he thought of something amusing.

Thinking about it, Xia Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "We could make a good plan and see how Vermouth reacts, that would be fun!"

For the next period of time, Conan could only lie in bed and recuperate.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa also learned from Ran that the Teitan High School Festival would be held three days later.

Xiao Lan, the lead actress in the play, warmly invited Xia Chuan to go with her.

Xia Chuan certainly wouldn't agree! He had his own plans.

When Conan learned that Ran would be playing a princess in a play and would have a scene where she hugs and kisses a knight, he immediately became jealous and insisted on going to the scene despite having a cold!

Of course, the main purpose was to dispel Xiaolan's doubts about him!
Upon learning that there had been a breakthrough in the development of Ai Haibara's antidote, with a successful experimental version, he immediately thought of taking the antidote to cover up his lie.

Ai Haibara naturally objected, but the antidote did require live experiments, and she couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to refuse Conan's suggestion.

Even though she was very worried about being discovered by the winery, she still agreed.

This risk has to be taken. Having known Conan for so long, she can tell that even if she tries to stop him, he will still go his own way.

Rather than straining relations, it's better to go with the flow.

I heard the theatrical knight is still wearing a helmet, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

During this time, Heiji Hattori somehow got wind of the news and specially flew from Osaka to see his best friend.

Upon learning that Ran might discover Conan's identity, Heiji Hattori immediately felt the urge to go to great lengths for his brother.
So, on the day of the Teitan High School festival, each group, with their own hidden agendas, took their seats. The gymnasium.

"Do we really have to do this? Wouldn't it be a bad idea?"

Kaito, eager to make a move, asked his buddy, "Wouldn't Conan's plan fall through then? And what if it attracts the attention of the Black Organization? That wouldn't be good either. Ran Mouri is also in a difficult situation; if I mess up the performance, I can't beat her."

Kaito flinched. Ran Mouri's karate was terrifying. If he angered her, would he be beaten to a pulp?

The image of The King of Fighters '97 flashed through his mind; the impact was so strong that he felt a bit overwhelmed even before the fight started.

"Don't worry, the news won't get to the distillery. As for Xiaolan, she'll just have to watch my mood."

Xia Chuan was very confident. The most dangerous place was still the winery, but with Lao Gan Ma there, she would clean up his mess.

"OK then."

Kaito wasn't actually that obedient; Natsukawa's encouragement had the desired effect, and he immediately straightened his back and held his head high.

At worst, he could just hide in the crowd and run away; after all, Ran Mouri doesn't know his true identity.

The campus festival is in full swing.

The temporary theater, converted from a gymnasium, was packed with high school students, invited parents, and graduates.

The occupancy rate was very high, and all the seats were filled in no time.

Natsukawa and Kaito, dressed in black robes, casually found a place to sit. Their costumes weren't actually strange; they were just cosplaying in black robes. There were other people cosplaying skeletons elsewhere, so the group of high school students didn't think much of it.

Neither Natsukawa nor Kaito cared about the content of the play; they were both focused on the black-clad knight who had appeared.

After Conan grew bigger, his coolness level skyrocketed. Even though it was a stage play, he didn't say a single word after his appearance, while Ran seemed to be performing a one-woman show.

Oh, she's a unicorn, that's alright then.
The plot continues to unfold, a very clichéd story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, but it has to be said that high school students of this era really like this kind of thing.

Just as the audience was on the edge of their seats, the black-clad knight cut down villain A and villain B, and embraced Ran Mouri in front of everyone's expectant gazes, infuriating Kogoro Mouri below.

Kogoro Mouri looked down at the script and discovered that there was a kissing scene in the plot!
"@#T@%@Chirp chirp chirp"

Kogoro Mouri was spitting as he spoke, while Sonoko Suzuki and Kazuha Toyama, standing nearby, were utterly exasperated and quickly pushed him back into his seat.

Kogoro Mouri was still not very happy after sitting down. Although Araide Tomoaki, who played the Black Knight, would be a good son-in-law, he had only received a gift from Shinichi Kudo a few days ago. If he didn't stand up and say something, wouldn't he be the kind of person who takes money and does nothing?

Moreover, Shinichiro is indeed a bit older, with a ten-year age gap, so it would be a little strange if the other person called him "Dad".

At this moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. After being interrupted, everyone was even more eager for the kiss, gripping the chair handles and craning their necks to wait for the knight to remove his mask and kiss him.

Just then, a gasp rang out, shattering the romantic atmosphere.

Xia Chuan covered his ears beforehand, unsurprised.

Kaito's awareness that he hadn't run into Conan meant he hadn't encountered a case. He was so startled that he almost tore off his clothes, revealing what was underneath: Shinichi Kudo's school uniform and face.

That would be even more explosive! Wouldn't Shinichi Kudo go crazy? And Vermouth might even start questioning her existence.

Natsukawa didn't know how Shinichi Kudo had convinced Vermouth to switch roles, but since he had already replaced Tomoaki Araide as the Black Knight, it meant that Vermouth had confirmed his identity!
Closer to home.

As soon as the screams rang out, the theater turned on all the lights. A dense crowd of high school students stood up, craning their necks to watch the play. They showed no panic; some of the more astute students even took out their phones to call the police.

It seemed like this wasn't the first time they'd encountered a case.

Beside Natsukawa, the man named Urata Kohei was already dead. His right hand was clutching his mouth, his expression contorted in agony, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, and a bitter almond flavor emanating from his mouth.
Inspector Megure, his old friend, makes a sudden appearance after a cut to the camera.

When he entered the theater, he was immediately overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people.

"How can we possibly find the killer if a murder happens in a place like this?" Inspector Megure felt dizzy and his spirits instantly collapsed.

Then he started looking for people.

Teitan High School Festival.

If I remember correctly, it's Ran's high school; if I'm not mistaken, Mori should be here; if I'm not mistaken, the Mori who straightened his clothes and strode over definitely has something to say now.

"Inspector Megure."

"Alright, Mori, I know what you're trying to say. The culprit must be among these people, right?"

Inspector Megure scanned the room: "Why don't you help me narrow down the number of suspects first?"

"Uh"

Inspector Megure arrived too quickly; Kogoro Mori hadn't even had a chance to check him and couldn't say anything. He stammered for a long time, then got embarrassed and admitted he didn't know.

With so many people around, if I said I didn't know, I'd be slapping my face as a famous detective.

Before he could even feel bad for a few seconds, someone interrupted to help him out.

"Based on my reasoning, the murderer should be among the victim's friends."
