Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Elena sat in the back with Anya and Ai in her arms, while Kitagawa Yu sat in the passenger seat with Conan in his arms.

"Hey! Why am I being hugged by you?" Conan stared at Kitagawa Yu with dead fish eyes.

Kitagawa Yu glared at him, equally annoyed, and snorted, "Do you think I want to hug you? Don't think I don't know you, you lecherous scum, taking advantage of your shrunken body to bathe with Ran Mouri every day~"

"."

Conan sensed something was wrong when he heard "lsp" and "Ran Mouri" and tried to cover Kitagawa Yu's mouth, but he was too late and Kitagawa Yu exposed his secret.

Faced with the astonished looks of everyone, including Professor Agasa, who all seemed to think he was a pervert, Conan blushed deeply, his head practically steaming with embarrassment.

"Aaaaaah! Kitagawa Yu, you bastard!"

"Stop joking, stop joking! You've already done it, are you still too scared to admit it?"

"."

Conan was speechless and could only bare his teeth and claws to fight Kitagawa Yu to the death, but Kitagawa Yu hit him on the head with a loving iron fist, and he immediately squatted on the doormat with a big bump on his head.

"hiss--"

"You used way too much force!"

Conan rolled his eyes. Even though Kogoro Mouri had treated him like this before, that was his father-in-law. It was completely different from Kitagawa Yu!

"Damn bastard—"

It looks like Conan is about to jump up and cause trouble again.

Ai, who had regained her expressionless demeanor in the back row, picked up her notebook and began taking notes, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"Hmm, while APTX-4869 shrinks the body, it also seems to revert the brain to a state of incomplete development in early childhood. It appears further improvements are needed."

On the other side, Kitagawa Yuya once again subdued Conan with his iron fist, and then said that he had a case to ask for, which instantly made him behave.

"You little punk, it's not hard to handle you, is it?" Kitagawa Yu thought to himself smugly.

"What kind of case can't you handle?" Conan asked curiously, ignoring the pain from the two large bumps stacked on top of his head.

"This is definitely one of your best cases!"

"My best type of case?" Conan's curiosity grew. "Could it be a locked-room murder? But wait, I'm good at all kinds of cases! What kind of case is it?"

"Of course, it's cases about finding someone and catching a mistress!"

"."

Conan, who had been looking curious and expectant, suddenly put on a deadpan expression again.

Catching a mistress is a case that Kogoro Mouri excels at, and it has absolutely nothing to do with him as a famous detective!

"Really?" Kitagawa Yu smiled and ruffled Conan's hair.

"Ran Mouri is much stronger than me!"

"."

Conan's lips twitched.

Without a doubt, this is a threat! A blatant threat! Him! Detective Conan acted decisively!

"Oh dear, I just remembered, I've helped Uncle Mori with many of his requests to find his cats, dogs, or mistresses, so please leave this to me!"

"That's more like it. If someone has something on you, you should be aware of the situation and know your place." Kitagawa Yu lectured in a condescending tone, quite satisfied with Conan's pragmatism.

About an hour later, the Beetle arrived in front of Poirot Cafe, upstairs from the famous Mouri Detective Agency, which is renowned throughout the myriad worlds.

"Huh? Conan, what brings you back? Didn't you say you were going to stay at Professor Agasa's place tonight?"

As soon as Conan pushed open the door and led Kitagawa Yu and the other three to the agency, they bumped into Ran Mouri, who was wearing casual clothes and a beige apron and doing housework.

On the left, by the window, Kogoro Mouri had his legs crossed and propped up on the table, leisurely reading a newspaper while drinking a can of beer.

"Ah, Ran-neechan, I just went to Professor Agasa's house to play. But Professor Agasa's house just happened to have some guests, and these guests happened to have a request for help from a detective, so I brought them over to introduce them to Uncle."

Conan had already prepared his explanation and quickly gave it a swift reply.

However, perhaps sensing the malicious and teasing gazes behind him, he, who was already used to acting cute and childlike, suddenly felt guilty and didn't dare to look Ran Mouri in the eye.

"A commission?"

Upon hearing those three words, Kogoro Mouri's ears immediately perked up, and he quickly put his feet back on the ground, sitting up straight and adopting what he thought was the proper demeanor of a famous detective.

no way.

Although he spent all his savings to buy this small building, it doesn't mean he'll just sit back and relax from now on.

You have to know that properties in Japan are subject to annual taxes, and with daily expenses and Ran Mouri's high school expenses, the rent provided by the coffee shop downstairs is definitely not enough.

He needs to take on as many cases as possible.

On the other side, Ran Mouri also realized what was happening and looked apologetically at Yu Kitagawa and the others outside the door.

"I'm so sorry, please come in and have a seat."

"As expected of angel Ran, she speaks so gently," Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but think to himself.

Chapter 62 The Wisdom of the 'Master Detective'

Just as Conan greeted Ran Mouri, Yu Kitagawa was also taking the opportunity to sized up Ran Mouri.

It must be said that Ran Mouri is indeed as beautiful as she is portrayed in the anime, in no way inferior to Ayako or Elaina. Her eyes are as bright and clear as a spring, like the purest treasure in the world.

He exuded a gentle, virtuous, tranquil, and beautiful aura, as if his whole being radiated pure white light, completely different from the aloof Ai behind him.

Unfortunately, the timeline of this world is too bizarre. If Ai Haibara cannot develop an antidote for APTX-4869, she may never be able to wait for her Shinichi Kudo.

The four followed Conan to the sofa area and sat down.

At the same time, Ran Mouri took off her apron, quickly put the mop back in the storage room, and then made tea for them.

"Ahem. So, may I ask what requests you gentlemen may have?"

Uncle Mori had somehow gotten to his seat, a sly look on his face, and took the initiative to ask about the commission.

"It's like this, this is my classmate Ai Haibara. Her sister's boyfriend suddenly disappeared without a word a while ago."

"After our investigation, we found that the person's identity was fake, and the address and name were also fake."

“We all think her sister has been scammed in a romantic relationship, but her sister refuses to believe it and still has illusions about that man.”

"So we want to ask Detective Mouri to help us find that guy, and then let her sister meet him again and explain things to him in person."

"If that guy really was lying from the beginning, then it'll be good for her sister to give up and stop clinging to this relationship."

After hearing this, Ran Mouri's face immediately showed a look of sympathy. She felt deeply sorry for Akemi Miyano and thought to herself, 'Thank goodness Shinichi isn't a liar.'

On the other hand, Kogoro Mouri felt relieved after hearing the news.

Looking for someone? He knows that all too well! With his good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department, there's no one he can't find within Tokyo.

Of course, he's even more skilled at finding cats and dogs!

Before he became a famous detective, he was the most famous pet detective in Tokyo's detective world!

"Ahem. What about the cost?"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri unconsciously rubbed his hands together, revealing a greedy look on his face.

"The cost is negotiable. We'll pay a deposit of 500,000, and if we can find someone within a month, we'll pay another 5 million."

"Five million?!"

Upon hearing this astonishing number, Kogoro Mouri sprang up from the sofa, his eyes gleaming, his tongue lolling out, and he could barely speak.

Ran Mouri, standing to the side, looked at his flustered appearance and immediately turned her head away in embarrassment.

However, as the family's finance minister, she knew that the family's financial situation was not very good, so she couldn't blame Kogoro Mouri.

After all, that's five million! With the deposit, it's five and a half million!

Keep in mind that the average annual income of a family in Tokyo at this time is only around six million yen, so five and a half million yen is almost equivalent to their family's entire year's income!

Most importantly, if you earn a year's worth of money in one month, then for the remaining eleven months, you can do whatever you want and relax and enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Beer, horse racing, and Yoko Okino's concerts and TV dramas.

Thinking of all this, Kogoro Mouri's smile became even more enthusiastic, and he was practically drooling.

We absolutely have to close this deal!

No one can stop Detective Kogoro Mouri from making money!

"However, all we have is a photo of that guy, and two aliases he used: 'Shuichi Akai' and 'Subaru Okiya'—"

"It's alright! Please trust me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri! One month! I'll stake my dignity as a great detective on this. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground and search every corner of Tokyo, I will definitely find this damned conman within a month!"

Blinded by money, Kogoro Mouri interrupted Kitagawa Yu before he could finish speaking.

If Kitagawa Yu hadn't known him so well, he might have actually believed those sweet words.

In fact, Kogoro Mouri also had his own little scheme.

In fact, the 50 yuan deposit alone was more than his commission for a whole month of hard work. So even if he couldn't complete the task, he wouldn't actually lose anything.

So don't underestimate the wisdom of a 'famous detective'!

As for whether failing to complete the commission would damage the dignity of a famous detective?

A famous detective said, "What's more important than making money!"

"Then I'll leave it to Detective Mori!"

Kitagawa Yu said, taking out a deposit of 500,000 yen, a contract, and a photo of Akai Shuichi that Ai had specially photocopied before leaving. He handed these to Mouri Kogoro and left Ai's contact number.

Afterwards, leaving Conan to help Kogoro Mouri, Yu Kitagawa picked up Anya, who was already dozing off, and together with Ai and Elaine, they got back into Professor Agasa's Beetle and left the agency.

"Is that uncle really reliable?" Ai couldn't help but ask as soon as she got in the car, because she had given up the back seat to Kitagawa Yuu who was holding Anya.

This was her first time meeting Kogoro Mouri in person, not through a newspaper.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's sleazy and greedy appearance with her own eyes, she really felt that he was unreliable.
