Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World
Chapter 20 The Kudo Couple's Thoughts, Tea Party
In the living room of Professor Agasa's house, the Kudo couple sat in a row, with Professor Agasa and Hikaru Hoshino opposite them, Conan sitting to one side, and Ran sitting somewhat reservedly next to Conan. Several cups of black tea were on the table, making it look like an ordinary afternoon tea party.
The Kudo couple entered through a small alley two streets away from the exit of Professor Agasa's underground fortress, and were not discovered by anyone from beginning to end.
"Yusaku, Yukiko, was your journey back very dangerous?"
Dr. Agasa listened to Yusaku Kudo recount their experiences and spoke with some surprise.
"With A-Zhen around, it's not too dangerous. The most dangerous part is in Tokyo."
Yusaku Kudo took a small sip of tea and spoke calmly.
This time, Yusaku Kudo returned as if he were investigating Shinichi Kudo's disappearance, and the Black Organization will definitely take action during this process.
"Kyogoku Makoto, didn't he come back with you?"
With a complicated expression, Hoshino asked the question. He didn't know how to react to the Kudo couple's plight, but he did ask the key question.
Kudo Yusaku set a trap for the organization, asking Kyogoku Makoto to take action, wiping out the organization's pursuers and capturing Rum's confidant Binga alive. Hoshino Hikaru really could hardly imagine such a scene.
"No, Ah-Zhen has her own things to do, and the organization won't make the same mistake twice."
Yusaku Kudo shook his head. This time, thanks to Makoto Kyogoku's intervention, the New York branch of the Black Organization was severely damaged. This was largely due to the organization's lack of preparedness. Next time, the organization will definitely stay away from Makoto Kyogoku, and the same scene is unlikely to be repeated.
"Dad, what are you planning to do?"
Conan leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms, and asked in a serious tone.
"In the organization's eyes, you are already dead. Moreover, the organization feels that we are not sure that you are dead. Therefore, when we come back, we will use some connections to investigate and give the organization the illusion that Yukiko and I do not know that you are dead. After that, we will clash with the organization again to express my anger at the judgment that you are probably dead."
Yusaku Kudo nodded slightly. The fact that Shinichi Kudo had shrunk must be kept secret. Therefore, the actions of the couple must be consistent with their initial worry for their son, and their later speculation that their son was likely in grave danger, as well as their grief and anger in preparing to take revenge on the organization. Only in this way can the fact that Shinichi Kudo is actually alive be concealed and the organization be put at ease.
"Are we going to have to fight the organization again?"
Conan pushed up his glasses, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Shin-chan, to maintain our identities, you can't participate in this operation!"
Yukiko patted Conan's head and spoke seriously.
"I know."
Conan sighed helplessly, knowing that his current situation was special and he was not suitable to participate in this operation.
"Regarding this matter, Hoshino-kun, I'd like to ask you first, are you sure you want to fight the organization?"
Kudo Yusaku spoke earnestly, looking directly into Hoshino Hikaru's eyes:
"Although you fought Gin before, you used a disguise at the time, and the organization does not know your identity. If you wish, you can hide your superpowers and live a normal life now, or if you need, I can ask my friends in the Earth United Defense Organization's Superpower Bureau to apply for a witness protection program for you."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not the kind of person who likes to run away. Once I've made a decision, I'll fight to the end."
Hoshino Hikaru looked into Kudo Yusaku's eyes and spoke seriously, revealing that he had no interest in the witness protection plan and preferred to take the initiative himself.
"I see, I understand now."
Yusaku Kudo and Hikaru Hoshino exchanged a glance, chuckled softly, and then, regaining their gentle demeanor, continued:
"Then, we can adjust the plan. You can participate and act with us. Use your previous disguised appearance to appear in front of the Black Organization with us, and then create the illusion that you left Tokyo with us, making it seem like the mysterious light ability user is actually someone from a superpower agency."
"Oh, so we'll work together after forging identities? Okay, I'm fine with that."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hikaru nodded. Kudo Yusaku's plan was not complicated.
If Hoshino Hikaru appears before the organization once, using her previous disguise and acting alongside Kudo Yusaku, the Black Organization will assume that the mysterious light ability user who fought Gin was a member of some superpower agency or underground organization, and that she has now partnered with Kudo Yusaku.
In this way, the Black Organization would not notice that Hoshino Hikari's true identity was just an ordinary classmate of Kudo Shinichi, which would be beneficial to their future operations. Afterwards, Kudo Yusaku left Tokyo with the mysterious light ability user, making it almost impossible for the organization to notice Hoshino Hikari, the intern detective at Agasa Detective Agency.
"So, our next move will be to deceive the organization with a 'false target,' ultimately dealing them a heavy blow... First..."
Yusaku Kudo quickly outlined his specific plans for the future, then gave everyone some time to process them.
"I see. The plan sounds good. In that case, we can act at any time."
After listening to Yusaku Kudo's plan, Hikaru Hoshino was somewhat surprised, and then nodded slightly.
"Alright, it's time. I'll go prepare dinner. Shin-chan, come help me."
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Yukiko picked up Conan, hugged him tightly, and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.
"Wait, I can't breathe..."
Conan quickly began to struggle, but was immediately suppressed by his mother's iron fist.
"Auntie, let me help too."
Seeing this, Xiaolan also stood up and walked towards the kitchen together.
"Hoshino-kun, Shinichi can be a bit impulsive sometimes. I'll have to rely on you a lot when you're working together. If you need any help, feel free to ask me, as long as it's within my power."
Kudo Yusaku lowered his voice slightly and solemnly made a promise to Hoshino Hikaru.
Although Yusaku Kudo didn't know much about the boy, Hikaru Hoshino, after hearing Professor Agasa's account of what happened, he could tell that he was a trustworthy person.
Today's first meeting has given Yusaku Kudo a certain understanding of Hikaru Hoshino's personal abilities. From all aspects, it is a good thing that Shinichi has made such a friend.
"I think you two don't need to worry too much. Shinichi is very calm when he takes action."
Seeing this, Hoshino Hikaru offered some words of advice. This was Hoshino Hikaru's true feeling now. Compared to Conan in the original work, who couldn't wait to jump out when a case came up, Conan was now very calm. He would only be a little impulsive when he encountered the organization.
"Shinichi was a bit too proud when he was young. It wasn't until the Asami incident that he understood the weight of life and became much calmer. However, he probably still can't be completely calm when dealing with the Black Organization. Fortunately, he has very good friends."
Kudo Yusaku tapped his fingers lightly, his tone tinged with worry, but even more so with trust.
"Oh? Asano Minoru's death? Can you tell me about it?"
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hikaru couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.
"The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case" is a very classic case in the original work. It is a transformation and growth for Shinichi Kudo. The murderer is Dr. Asakura Minami from Tsukikage Island, a doctor who is dressed as a woman and looks very beautiful.
In the original story, Asano Minami was born on Tsukikage Island. Her father was a famous pianist, and the frail and sickly Asano Minami was hospitalized in Tokyo.
Twelve years ago, on a full moon night, Asagi Narumi's father killed his wife and daughter, and then committed suicide by setting himself on fire at home. Only Asagi Narumi, who was hospitalized in Tokyo, escaped the tragedy.
Afterwards, Asagi was adopted and later became a doctor. She returned to Tsukikage Island under the name of the female doctor Asai Makoto to investigate the truth behind her father's death.
In the end, Asagi discovers that her father was silenced for refusing to work with a group of drug smugglers from back then. After 12 years, all the evidence from that time is lost, and revenge cannot be obtained through legal channels.
So, Aso Minami chose to take revenge by killing, but because of the education he received from childhood, he felt that killing was wrong and was tormented by his heart. So he wrote a letter inviting Kogoro Mouri to the island to investigate the truth of his father Keiji Aso's death, thinking that if Kogoro Mouri could stop him, he would give up his revenge.
However, by the time Conan discovered the truth, he had already successfully killed everyone who deserved to die. After Conan deduced the truth, Asano Minami set fire to the piano room, preparing to end her life.
Conan, carrying Keiji Aso's suicide note, rushed into the inferno, trying to persuade Aso Narumi to live on. However, Aso Narumi smiled and said that his hands were already stained with blood and he could never go back.
Finally, Asami threw Conan out of the window, played a piano piece for him to express her gratitude, and then disappeared forever in the sea of fire.
This incident is a huge regret in Conan's heart, and it is because of this that he has a deeper understanding of life.
"About this matter, actually..."
Kudo Yusaku sighed slightly, then slowly recounted a case from three years ago.
As Yusaku Kudo narrated, Hikaru Hoshino roughly understood Asano Minami's fate in this world.
In this world, Asami's fate as a child remained largely unchanged, but after hearing about the deaths of his family members, he awakened the superpower "Doctor".
He was later adopted and, through years of hard work, improved his superpowers, graduated early, and became an excellent doctor. So, at the age of 22, he returned to his hometown to investigate, and after a year, he finally learned everything.
This put Asano Minoru in a dilemma. On one hand, he wanted to kill his family because of the hatred he felt for them, but on the other hand, he didn't want to kill because of his conscience as a doctor. So he sent a letter of entrustment to Kudo Yusaku, thinking that if Kudo Yusaku could stop him, he would give up his revenge.
At the time, Yusaku Kudo was away from home. Yukiko initially wanted to refuse the request, but 14-year-old Shinichi Kudo showed interest and asked to go and see.
Considering that her son was already a Level 3 "Detective" and had interned with the Superpower Bureau in a research group at Teitan School, Yukiko called Yusaku and prepared to let her son give it a try, telling him to call Yusaku Kudo anytime if he had any problems.
Later, Shinichi and Yukiko arrived at Tsukikage Island, where murders began to occur. Eventually, through Shinichi's deduction, they gradually unraveled the truth and discovered the real culprit, Asano Minoru.
Asagi accepted everything calmly and expressed his gratitude to Shinichi Kudo and Yukiko Kudo, claiming that if they had been there on Tsukikage Island back then, his family would have received justice.
In the end, Asano Minoru died, and Shinichi Kudo was unable to save him. Because of this, Shinichi Kudo was left with a permanent regret.
The 14-year-old boy began to learn to be calm, and developed a greater sense of awe for life, cases, truth, and reasoning. Even later, as he solved case after case and dealt with one abyssal energy after another, becoming known as the savior of the Superpower Bureau, he maintained his composure.
"So that's how it is. There's such a past."
After listening to Yusaku Kudo's story, Hikaru Hoshino felt a mix of emotions and sighed silently.
"Alright everyone, let's eat first and experience the culinary skills of this Queen of Deduction!"
Yukiko interrupted their conversation with a light and cheerful voice.
"What does being a master detective have to do with skill?"
Conan, while making sarcastic remarks, slowly walked out carrying plates of dishes.
"However, my aunt's cooking skills are still very impressive. I've always loved her cooking since I was a child. She's much better than my mother."
Xiao Lan followed behind, smiling as she spoke.
Hoshino Hikaru glanced at Ran and Kudo Yukiko's expressions and could roughly guess that Yukiko had probably talked to Ran a lot, such as asking Ran to withdraw from the battle. However, Ran refused and said that she would fight alongside Kudo Shinichi. Yukiko would not try to persuade her anymore and would only do her best to protect the children as an adult.
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."
Hoshino Hikaru's nose twitched slightly, and he also felt a surge of appetite. He then stopped thinking about the organization, after all, he needed to eat first before dealing with the Black Organization.
