Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

The Suzuki Group is a top conglomerate in the entire island nation. Even the head of the Suzuki family doesn't know exactly how many properties the Suzuki family owns.

Many wealthy people like to build villas in remote, uninhabited mountains and forests, so they can enjoy a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city in nature. The Suzuki family is no exception.

"Where exactly is it? Is something wrong?"

On a path surrounded by trees, Xiaolan held her phone, looking at the electronic map sent by the garden, and hesitated as she looked at the grove of trees in front of her.

At this moment, the four-person team seemed to have lost their way.

"Seriously? You can get lost even with a GPS map? Even though you're terrible with directions, Xiaolan, we were following the GPS, weren't we?"

Conan gave a deadpan look and spoke with a hint of exasperation.

"Outside, call me Sister Xiaolan!"

Ran's cheeks flushed slightly, and she punched Conan on the head without hesitation, though she didn't really put her strength into it.

"It hurts so much!"

Conan covered the large bump on his head and muttered to himself, somewhat speechless.

Conan always felt that after he shrunk, Ran liked to bully him more and more, such as patting his head, rubbing his face, and making him obediently call her "Ran-neechan" with a smiling look.

"Did they always interact like this?"

Ai Haibara crossed her arms in front of her chest, revealing a scrutinizing expression like a little adult.

"It shouldn't be, right?"

Hoshino Hikaru spoke somewhat uncertainly. In his memory, the relationship between Shinichi Kudo and Ran, and between Conan and Ran in the original work, was not like this. However, this world was different after all, and the original owner was not familiar with the two of them, so he did not know how they interacted.

"Anyway, the route Sonoko gave us is here, so it should be correct!"

Xiaolan looked at the electronic map on her smartphone repeatedly, then pointed in the direction of the grove and spoke.

"Do we go through the grove?"

Conan looked doubtful, clearly not quite believing it.

"No, no problem. This electronic map software automatically saves feasible routes whenever someone successfully traverses them. Therefore, going through the grove is a viable route!"

Hikaru Hoshino also took out his phone, glanced at the map Sonoko had given him, recalled everything along the way, and planned the route in his mind. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The path leading to the villa should be on the other side. Of course, you can also enter from here, but you'll need to go through the woods.

That's how unethical map software works. Even with global satellite positioning, routes still rely on previous experience. As a result, there are often routes that go through the interior of buildings or climb over walls. As long as someone has succeeded, the route is usable.

"Is that so?"

Conan looked somewhat surprised, but didn't say anything more. The group walked through the grove for a few minutes and soon came to a small path.

At the end of the path was a floating bridge that looked very old. On the other side of the bridge was a three-story villa, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"Look, we've arrived, haven't we?"

Hikaru Hoshino shrugged, a helpless expression on his face.

"This is the first time I've seen electronic maps used like this."

Conan gave a deadpan look, with an expression that said he had learned something new.

The four of them walked together toward the villa. Hoshino Hikaru looked around the suspension bridge and the villa carefully for a long time, but did not find anyone. He frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Ai Haibara immediately noticed Hikaru Hoshino's condition and asked with some confusion.

"No, it's nothing."

Hikaru Hoshino shook his head slightly, saying nothing more, but a question lingered in his mind.

Hoshino Hikaru still has a deep impression of the Bandaged Man case. If he remembers correctly, the murderer disguised himself as the Bandaged Man and appeared on the suspension bridge when each person came to the villa, leaving everyone with the impression that there was a mysterious person besides them.

However, the bandaged monster did not appear at this time, and Hoshino Hikaru could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

"Hey Ran, Hoshino, you guys are so slow! Everyone else is here already."

The villa gate slowly opened, and Sonoko, dressed in a light blue top and white skirt, looked relaxed, though her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, Sonoko, there was a problem on the way."

Xiaolan immediately put on an apologetic look.

"Alright, come in quickly."

As Sonoko spoke, she pushed open the door and then looked at Conan and Ai with some curiosity.

"This child is Conan, a relative of Shinichi's family. That child is Ai, Hoshino's cousin. She's temporarily staying at Dr. Agasa's house, so I brought them both along."

Ran quickly introduced Sonoko to Conan, then patted Conan on the head.

Although Conan and Ai's identity documents haven't been processed yet, Yusaku Kudo has already found the necessary connections, and they'll be ready soon.

In terms of their identities, Conan Edogawa is a distant relative of the Kudo family and is temporarily staying at Dr. Agasa's house. Ai Haibara is Hikaru Hoshino's cousin. Because her parents died, she ended up with her distant cousin, Hikaru Hoshino.

"Hello, Sonoko-neechan!"

Conan quickly stepped forward, revealing an innocent and cute expression, while inwardly cursing.

"Hello!"

Ai Haibara, on the other hand, appeared somewhat aloof. She gave Sonoko a brief greeting and then retreated to Hikaru Hoshino's side.

"Hello, welcome!"

Sonoko nodded slightly and led the four of them upstairs.

"Your rooms are on the second floor at the very back. There are two rooms in total. These two kids can stay with you, right?"

Yuanzi pointed upstairs and casually asked.

"Of course, no problem, Conan. Would you like to sleep with Hikaru or Ran?"

Ran patted Conan's head and asked in a slightly teasing tone.

"Haha, Xiao Guang and I can do it together."

Conan blushed immediately and stammered as he spoke.

"Hmm? Kids these days are really precocious!"

Seeing this, Sonoko couldn't help but complain, and her gaze towards Conan became much more complicated.

Conan could only grumble about Sonoko in his heart, but on the surface he still had a smiling face.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the end of the second floor. Ai and Conan entered the room on the left, while Conan and Hikaru Hoshino entered the room on the right.

"Phew! Honestly, Ran's gone astray ever since she became like this!"

Without saying a word, Conan collapsed onto the bed, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

"It's because your acting is so bad. You should get used to her teasing in order to cover up your identity."

Hikaru Hoshino chuckled softly, leaned close to Conan, and gently patted Conan's head.

After a short rest, it was soon time for dinner, and everyone went to the restaurant together, led by the Sonoko sisters.

"These two are my classmates, Ran and Hoshino."

Sonoko, acting as the middleman, first introduced Ran Mouri and Hikaru Hoshino, and then introduced the two kids as well, before starting to introduce the others.

"These are my sister's friends from her university club. First, there's Ota Masaru, who's in charge of managing it."

Following the garden's guidance, a handsome young man with long hair, a cigarette between his fingers, wearing a beige coat, nodded slightly.

"This is Mr. Hiroki Kakutani, who is in charge of photography!"

As she spoke, Sonoko pointed to a man who was holding a camera, had dark skin, and was wearing a brown coat.

"And of course, there's my dearest older sister, Ayako Suzuki, who's in charge of costume design!"

As Sonoko spoke, she moved closer to a girl with squinty eyes who had the same hair color as her.

"Sonoko, don't say such mushy things in this kind of situation."

Ayako Suzuki smiled and patted Sonoko's hand, then nodded slightly to Ran and Hikaru Hoshino in greeting.

Ran immediately stood up and exchanged a few pleasantries with Ayako Suzuki. After glancing at Ayako Suzuki, who had narrowed her eyes, Hikaru Hoshino's gaze fell on the last two people who were almost touching, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

At this point, there were two people left to introduce: a man in a blue shirt and glasses, who was somewhat burly, and a girl in a light green shirt who was standing shyly next to him.

Even without Sonoko's introduction, Hoshino Hikaru could see the information about the two people.

Name: Ryoichi Takahashi

[Level: LV3 Props Master (Control), LV3 Hypnotist (Control)]

Name: Atsuko Takahashi

[Level: LV2 Writer (Special Profession)]

"If I remember correctly, in the original story, in the case of the bandaged man, Atsuko committed suicide two years ago, but another woman named Chikako didn't appear, and Takahashi was the murderer. So in this world, Atsuko didn't die?"

Hoshino Hikaru was somewhat surprised for a moment, but she didn't show it. After all, there was a significant timeline shift between this world and the original work.

The timing of Asano Minoru's death has already proven this point. Many plot points from the original work can be referenced, but they cannot be taken entirely at face value.
