Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 62 The Kudo Family's Little Games

At a crossroads in Beika Town.

A green car was stopped at a red light. Snowflakes fell onto the windshield and were mercilessly crushed by the wipers.

Inside the car, the icy cold completely enveloped Conan.

Conan, sitting in the passenger seat, looked grim, his mind racing with thoughts. A chilling cold, accompanied by the falling snow, seemed to freeze his heart.

He didn't reveal anything, and he solved all the cases by using Uncle Mori's stupid loudspeaker. So how could anyone know his identity?

As a detective, he felt lost and confused.

In the driver's seat, the woman named Fumiyo Edogawa, who claimed to be his mother, was gripping a pistol tightly, the dark muzzle pressed against his forehead.

"Don't move around, baby. If you're a good girl, I'll take you to a fun place."

Fumiyo Edogawa's eyes gleamed with malice, and the smirk on her lips conveyed a sense of mockery to Conan.

This guy!

But the gun is too close, ma'am!
Conan reacted quickly, swatting away the pistol in front of him with one hand, and then suddenly moved half of his body into the driver's seat, slamming one foot on the accelerator.

With a whoosh, the car shot off the white line at the intersection like an arrow. The traffic camera above flashed, and the mastermind behind it, Baron Dark Night, received a ticket.

"Kid!"

Fumiyo Edogawa was thrown backward by inertia. Just as she adjusted to the acceleration and turned around to pick up Conan, the car braked suddenly, and she lurched forward again, her face almost touching the steering wheel.

Before she could react, Conan had already opened the passenger door and was running away!

"hateful!"

Fumiyo Edogawa, also known as Yukiko Kudo, slammed her hand on the steering wheel in frustration, feeling extremely aggrieved at being tricked by her own son.

Just as they were about to give chase, they discovered that their dog son, who had run off into the distance, had vanished without a trace.

Conan, who had already taken refuge in the narrow passage between the buildings, leaned against the wall, panting heavily. His heart was pounding like a wild horse, and even the snowflakes falling on him melted quickly.

"It's that organization!"

Conan was absolutely certain that this was someone from that organization, and that he was in cahoots with Gin, Vodka, and Tequila.

Although I don't know why this guy isn't wearing black, now is not the time to think about that.

He needs to go find Professor Agasa.

The exposure of his identity caught him off guard. His mind raced with thoughts that could circle the earth, finally settling on Professor Agasa's villa. Only Professor Agasa could give him a sense of security now.

He acted on his idea immediately, but just as Conan stepped out of the alley, a gray GTR screeched to a halt in front of him.

Conan is like a frightened deer right now; the first thing he thinks of when he hears the sound of brakes is Edogawa Fumiyo from just now.

Thinking the other party had caught up, he didn't bother to look closely, and spun around in his power-enhancing shoes, preparing for a Ke Xue acceleration.

"Conan!"

Seeing Conan activate his leg-enhancing shoes to accelerate, Natsukawa rolled down the car window. "Ania said your mother picked you up. Why are you still here?"

Conan, his heart pounding in his throat, stumbled and fell to the ground. Recognizing the familiar voice, he struggled to turn his face back, his cheek pressed against the ground.

"Uncle Xia Chuan?"

Xia Chuan turned on his hazard lights and got out of the car. This wasn't a designated parking area, so it was best to keep the hazard lights on. Otherwise, if Miyamoto Yumi caught him, Joel would definitely find out too, which could leave a bad impression.

He was able to find the other party thanks to the effect of Professor Agasa's detective badge.

As a member of the Junior Detective League, Anya also has a detective badge. In order to keep track of Conan's location at all times, Natsukawa had already had Frank extract the wireless signal from the detective badge, so finding Conan was not a difficult task.

"Are you OK!?"

Natsukawa picked Conan up.

"It's below zero now, how could you come out in a suit and shorts?" Xia Chuan frowned and touched Conan's hand, which was ice cold.

I don't know if it was frightened or frozen.

Children are very susceptible to catching colds if they do this. Is Conan planning to drink strong liquor while trying to catch a cold?

"It's alright." Conan shook his head, indicating that this was exactly how Aoyama drew it, probably considering that wearing too much clothing would affect CPU heat dissipation when thinking.

"That won't do. I have a pair of Anya's long johns in my car. You can wear them for now. They're pink, but we can't worry about that right now."

You don't have to.

Conan gritted his teeth and stood up. The cold ground scraped his knee, and a trickle of blood oozed from the wound. Although he was a seventeen-year-old boy, his resistance to pain seemed to have decreased considerably since he turned into a child. A few tear stains appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Look, they're all crying from the cold."

Xia Chuan wrapped his arms around Conan's waist and lifted him up completely.

Natsukawa often did this when Anya and Bond misbehaved, so he was extremely skilled at it.

Conan felt embarrassed by the posture, but Natsukawa's arms were like pincers, and after struggling a few times in a doggy-style position, he gave up.

In the car, Conan's blue suit shorts were left aside, while Anya's thermal underwear was already on him. Children's bodies are all about the same size, and it didn't look tight on Conan just because he was a boy.

"Could you pull it down a little?" Conan asked, blushing, indicating that his crotch was too high and it was a bit uncomfortable.

"Okay." The pants were bought by Xia Chuan at Beihua Department Store and left in the car. He kept them in the car in case the weather in the Detective Conan world was unpredictable and he could leave them in the car to give Anya a change of clothes in an emergency. Therefore, the pants were still brand new and the tags were still on.

The light pink cotton thermal underwear paired with the blue blazer looked a bit odd. Natsukawa originally wanted to give the cotton coat to Conan as well, but Conan waved his hands repeatedly after seeing the rabbit pattern on the pink cotton coat and the rabbit ears on the hood.

Xia Chuan chuckled to himself and didn't press the matter. Then he asked, "By the way, where's Conan's mother? Didn't you leave with your mother?"

Conan's relaxed mood returned, and his expression quickly changed from blushing to serious.

The white light reflected from his glasses as he looked down. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Uncle Xia Chuan, actually that woman isn't my mother!"

Seemingly afraid that Natsukawa wouldn't believe him, Conan added, "My mother isn't in Japan at all right now, and that 200-pound old lady is way too old."

Conan couldn't accept the contrast between going from a teenage starlet to a middle-aged, overweight woman. Even if the Black Organization wanted to impersonate his mother, they should at least have chosen a pretty woman; what kind of nonsense is it to have an old lady who looks at least forty or fifty?

Xia Chuan coughed twice, suppressing the smile that was about to appear.

Fortunately, Yukiko Kudo didn't hear those words, otherwise she would have been furious.

Being described by her own son as an old woman in her forties or fifties and weighing 200 pounds, she would probably have to build a seven-story pagoda on Conan's head to vent her anger.

"really?"

Natsukawa's surprise and doubt were feigned, but in Conan's eyes, it was clearly a sign of distrust.

He probably sees himself as a primary school student having a tiff with his parents.

Conan didn't want to explain too much at this point, and asked, "Uncle Natsukawa, can you take me to Professor Agasa's house?"

Xia Chuan thought for a moment and decided that it was just a matter of taking Conan there, so there was no need to waste time. Frank's villa was also near Professor Agasa's house.

I just don't know if this will affect the plot.

However, considering that the world should have its own corrective force, Xia Chuan immediately relaxed.

"can."

Before leaving, he called Frank to prepare some fun for the prank game, to increase its realism and immersive experience, believing that Conan and the Kudo couple would like it.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Professor Agasa's house.

"Professor Agasa doesn't seem to be home." Natsukawa rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered.

"Didn't you agree to come to Professor Agasa's house today? Why isn't Professor Agasa home?"

Conan raised his hand to check the time. "They should have gone for a walk. We agreed to meet at 10 a.m., and it's only 9:30 now. I remember Professor Agasa has a habit of taking a walk in the morning."

"I see!" Xia Chuan nodded slightly, then suddenly felt something was off, as if someone was secretly watching them.

Through the rearview mirror, a red hem of clothing flashed by at the street corner.

Xia Chuan's heart skipped a beat; he roughly knew who it was.

His understanding of the plot was limited to the fact that the Kudo couple were going to play a prank on their son, but he had long forgotten most of the details because of the passage of time. However, at this point, the only people who could probably spy on them were probably Yukiko Kudo or Yusaku Kudo.

The Dark Baron's clothes should be black or dark blue.

The red hem of her dress... if I'm not mistaken, it must be Yukiko Kudo.

"But it's okay, I have a key to Professor Agasa's house."

Conan took out his keys and waved them. "Uncle Natsukawa, why don't you go ahead and do your work? I can go in by myself."

Seeing that Conan seemed to be trying to get rid of him, Natsukawa smiled and nodded, which suited him perfectly.

Then the GTR engine roared away into the distance.

The real show is just beginning.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the GTR drive away.

Let's not involve Xia Chuan in this matter, although Xia Chuan doesn't seem to be simple either.

After Natsukawa left, Conan still didn't go inside.

The key is for the Mori Detective Agency; he doesn't actually have a key to Professor Agasa's house.

Snowflakes brushed against Conan's cheek, making him shiver involuntarily. He glanced at his pink thermal underwear; although it looked out of place now, it was indeed very warm.

However, it's better to move to the side; the wind is a bit strong in the middle of the road.

Conan had just turned around, wanting to find a corner to squat in, when he almost bumped into the knee of the person behind him.

not good!

The red coat hem fluttered in the cold wind, and a dark pistol hung in the inner pocket, the exposed handle making Conan's heart sink.

He turned to look in the direction Xia Chuan had left, but the car had already disappeared.

"Well!"

A white handkerchief suddenly appeared in front of him, completely covering his mouth and nose.

The smell of ether completely robbed Conan of the strength to escape; his legs went weak, and his eyes gradually lost their sparkle.

"Kid, let's see where you run now."

Fumiyo Edogawa's voice echoed in his ears, and Conan's head lolled to the side as he fell into a deep coma.
