Conan's other self

Chapter 22 Familiar Stranger (End)

It's fun to lie to people for a while.

It’s just that apologizing is tiring.

"Okay, don't be angry! Your parents are worried about you too!"

"That's right! No one answered the phone at home. When we returned to Japan, we found that you were missing..."

"Hmph... So you hurriedly went to find Dr. Agasa, and then you found Maplehara there..."

"That's not true." Dr. Ali interjected, "Xiao Kong happened to be away at that time. In order not to be discovered, we still went out to meet..."

"Then you were tricked too?" Conan asked Fengyuan.

"No." Feng Yuan shook his head.

"Xiaoxin realized something was wrong early, didn't you?" Kudo Yukiko said, "It's Shinichi you..."

"Tch! How can I be in the mood to play games with you! I felt like I couldn't survive at that time..." Conan was dissatisfied. He was the only one being played, which made him feel even more unbalanced. "Also - I just said I want to ask, why do you call Feng Yuan Xiaoxin, but you just call me Shinichi?"

"Oh, are Shinichi jealous? I remember you didn't like your mother calling you that before~"

"Who, who cares about this!"

"Don't worry about it, Shinichi," Yukiko Kudo ruffled Conan's hair, "It's just to distinguish you two. After all, you are both Shinichi! And as for why I don't call you Shinichi," the actor's face Just as he said it, Kudo Yukiko's face darkened instantly, "Of course that's your punishment for not recognizing your mother, Shinichi!"

Thank you very much.

Conan snorted inwardly dissatisfied.

But he also gained important information from these words - his parents seemed to confirm that Maplehara was also another me.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look at his other self.

Kaedehara pretended to look at the room and avoided looking.

Although this plan was proposed by Kudo and his wife, he only made some minor changes, but... it does seem to be a bit excessive.

"Okay, Shinichi, we just want to test your ability." Kudo Yusaku said, "Except for untying the rope, you are still a lot worse, Shinichi! Especially when it comes to not being careful enough!"

"First of all, it was your mother. She boasted... uh... and said a long paragraph of objective evaluation of herself. You didn't realize that it was wrong. The next thing that covered your mouth and made you faint was a child's hand, and you didn't notice either." Kudo Yusaku concluded, "The most important thing is that I also specially dressed up as the character in my novel, the Night Baron!"

"Also, I accidentally let slip that I called you Shinichi, and you didn't even notice, Shinichi." Dr. A Li added.

Conan made a sound of displeasure.

"However, the part of untying the rope was quite exciting, and the final counterattack was also very good. If we hadn't known about the props you obtained from the doctor in advance, we might have actually escaped from you..."

"Yes." Conan glanced at Feng Yuan and Dr. Ari. The traitor must be one of them, "And now I think about the scene where you used Xiaolan to lie to me, and it feels weird..."

"That's because there was originally a section later," Kudo Yukiko said, "We originally planned to pretend to give Xiaolan the drug in front of you, Shinichi, to make you think she has become a child! Xiaoxin also cooperated with me to record Xiaolan's voice as a child for the voice changer... But it's a pity." At this point, Kudo Yukiko showed a regretful expression, "Xiaoxin doesn't want to dress as a woman, and we are worried about whether it will irritate you too much. Already…”

So the latter part was directly eunuch dropped.

The appearance of "Xiaolan" seems a bit anticlimactic.

But judging from Conan's hoarse voice and desperate tone at that time, the effect of this scene was even better than imagined.

To put it bluntly, Conan finally calmed down.

After all, one is his father, one is his mother, the other is simply another self, and the remaining one is also a friend he has made over the years... What can he do even if he is angry?

Seeing that Conan's mood had stabilized, Kudo and his wife took the opportunity to propose that the two Shinichi follow them to live abroad.

Feng Yuan was unwilling.

First of all, he is not Kudo Shinichi. It is okay to deal with Kudo Yusaku and his wife in a short period of time. Let him continue to live with them as a child... then forget it.

Secondly, judging from his comic experience, even without his own existence, the risk of Kudo Shinichi being completely exposed to the black organization is very limited.

In the end, he didn't bother to go.

But even though he didn't want to go, Fengyuan didn't speak first.

After a brief silence, as he expected, Conan refused.

"No." Conan said, "I will handle my own affairs without your intervention."

"Besides... I still have a reason why I can't leave Japan." As he said this, Conan couldn't help but glance at Maplehara.

Of course, Maplehara would not understand that he was the reason. He knew very well that the reason why Conan could not leave Japan was Xiaolan.

"But, Shinichi!" Kudo Yukiko said, "You have also seen that your life will be in danger, and it will also involve the people you care about..."

"I won't let something like this happen!" Conan defended, "Besides, even if I escape the country, I might still be discovered, right? Then Xiaolan and the others will also be implicated!"

"Shinichi..." Kudo Yukiko looked at Conan worriedly, and then turned to Maplehara, "What about you, Shinichi? Are you the same as Shinichi?"

After a hum, Feng Yuan nodded.

Kudo Yukiko suddenly started to sulk as if she had been abandoned.

Kudo Yusaku said: "Forget it! Since you are unwilling to do both, let you go! But first, if there is danger, I will take you abroad even if you force me!"

"There's no other way. After all, there's still a reason why you can't leave Japan..."

Kudo Yusaku said, but additional worries arose in his heart.

Shinichi now has two...but there is only one "reason". Conan's idea is quite obvious, but...

Where is this kid Maplehara?

Kudo Yusaku doesn’t know.

This kid seems to be very good at hiding his thoughts.

Besides, there is one more thing.

Antidote.

He originally wanted to tell Shinichi and others that he would ask his friends in Interpol to help investigate the man in black and obtain the antidote, but he swallowed the words before he spoke.

It's already outrageous for one person to become two people, but... what about two people returning to being one person?

Looking at Conan and Maplehara alive in front of him, Kudo Yusaku wasn't sure if he really wanted Shinichi to change back.

If these two children are really Shinichi.

But no matter how complicated Kudo Yusaku's emotions were, the show had come to an end.

The group of people were all a little sleepy, and Conan fell into a deep sleep on the way to the hotel.

After dawn, Kudo Yukiko disguised herself as Edogawa Fumiyo again, spent 20 million yen to re-entrust Conan to the Mori family, and asked them to take care of Maplehara.

Feng Yuan also chose to stay at Dr. A Li’s house temporarily.

Dr. Agasa was unwilling to accept "alimony", so Kudo Yusaku simply left a large sum of money to the two of them as funds to fight against the black organization.

However, Kaede had lunch at Mori's house.

Xiaolan was both sympathetic and a little happy that her two children were left behind again - during this time, she still liked the two children, not to mention that the two children were almost exactly the same as Shinichi when she was a child.

Uncle Mouri, who had just accepted the check, was at the most pleasing time to watch Conan and Maplehara, so this lunch was extremely harmonious.

After finishing the meal and sitting for a while, Fengyuan stood up and left. Because it was still daylight, Xiaolan did not insist on sending Fengyuan back, so Fengyuan set foot on the road back to the doctor's house alone.

Then he stopped after walking a short distance.
