Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Time flies when you're studying. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro Mouri leisurely sipped a newspaper and a can of beer.

"Dad, you're drinking beer again!"

Ran appeared before Kogoro Mouri with her hands on her hips, her tone carrying a hint of sternness.

"Well, Xiaolan, I haven't had a drink for a week. I just finished a big project, so please let me have a little."

Kogoro Mouri was immediately startled. He carefully observed his daughter's expression and took out a stack of envelopes from his jacket pocket, handing them to Ran. The envelopes clearly contained a considerable sum of commission fees.

Looking at her father's expression, Xiaolan sighed helplessly and could only nod in agreement.

"Since you worked so hard to complete the request, there's only one can!"

"One can it is fine."

Kogoro Mouri sipped his drink slowly, muttering to himself:

"This girl is starting to look more and more like Eri."

"Huh? What did you say? Dad~ Dad!"

Ran Mouri seemed to have heard Kogoro Mouri's complaint. She turned around and gave him a look, then snapped her broom with a crack, startling Kogoro into immediately shutting up and pretending to read the newspaper.

Seeing this, Ran could only sigh helplessly. This wasn't the first time she had talked to Kogoro Mouri about his drinking problem, but the effect was usually minimal. She could only keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't drink too much.

"Excuse me!"

Just as Ran and Kogoro Mouri were each lost in their own thoughts, a clear voice suddenly rang out. At some point, a young man with dark skin, wearing a light green shirt and a baseball cap, appeared at the door.

"Hello, is there anything you need me to do?"

Kogoro Mouri instantly sat up straight, the beer disappearing from the table at an imperceptible speed. His face sharpened, and he spoke formally, his demeanor changing drastically, showing no trace of his previous lazy appearance.

"No, I'm not here to see you, sir; I'm here to see this young lady!"

The young man in black glanced at Kogoro Mouri, then his gaze fell directly on Ran Mouri.

"Huh? Someone looking for me?"

Xiao Lan blinked, a look of doubt on her face. She looked the young man up and down a few times, making sure she had never seen anyone so dark-skinned before she continued to ask:

"May I ask who you are?"

"I'm here to see Shinichi Kudo! You should know where he is, right?"

Heiji Hattori adjusted his hat, a confident glint in his eyes.

……

Meanwhile, at Professor Agasa's house.

"Achoo!"

Conan's face was a little flushed. He was holding a cup of hot water, wrapped in a blanket, leaning against the bed, coughing every now and then, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Logically speaking, with your LV4 'Soccer Player' physique, you shouldn't catch a cold so easily."

As Hoshino Hikaru wiped Conan's forehead with a towel, he asked with some confusion.

"As a medical expert, I'm telling you that being physically strong doesn't mean you won't catch a cold."

Ai Haibara sat on the sofa not far away and spoke calmly.

"That's right. As a scientist, I can assure you that there is no direct link between the abilities of superhumans and human diseases. Even someone with Ran's physical condition can catch a cold."

Professor Agasa nodded as well, looking authoritative.

Hikaru Hoshino shrugged and didn't say anything. He naturally understood this knowledge as well. After all, although superpowers exist in this world, superpowered people are still human beings. Superpowered people are not exempt from human hunger, disease, and death. Makoto Kyogoku can also get sick.

"Ring ring!"

Just as Conan was coughing, a text message suddenly came through on his phone, which was next to his pillow.

"Information about Xiaolan?"

Conan put down his water glass, grabbed his bracelet, looked at the screen, and then his pupils suddenly contracted, his face turning pale instantly.

"What's wrong?"

Hoshino Hikaru frowned as she looked at Conan, and then the same message was sent to her phone.

"A man in black came to the door, saying he was looking for Shinichi Kudo."

"What? Someone looking for Shinichi Kudo, and someone in black at that! Oh no, I have to go check it out."

Conan was startled. He forced himself to stand up, his mind still foggy, grabbed the clothes beside him, and quickly put them on.

"Calm down. Since Xiaolan can send messages, it means she's not in danger. Besides, you're not in a good state."

Hikaru Hoshino quickly steadied the swaying Conan and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Black people? What do you mean? Not the men in black?"

Ai Haibara leaned closer, glanced at the text message Ran had sent, and looked somewhat puzzled.

You mean people with black skin?

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hikaru raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of doubt. Then, he suddenly remembered something and his expression became somewhat strange.

……

"I already said, Shinichi isn't here. I don't know where he is. I only know that he went abroad with his parents."

Xiaolan remained vigilant, but outwardly maintained an angry demeanor.

"Hey kid, what do you mean? Come find Shinichi Kudo here with me, Kogoro Mouri!"

Kogoro Mouri stood up, his gaze toward Heiji Hattori carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Generally speaking, Kogoro Mouri has the deductive skills of Schrödinger, but he will explode when his family and friends are involved.

Shinichi Kudo and Yusaku Kudo went abroad together, and Kogoro Mouri naturally found out about it. With his years of experience as a detective, he vaguely sensed that Shinichi Kudo might have offended someone and was temporarily hiding. At this time, the sudden appearance of someone looking for Shinichi Kudo made him instinctively alert, and his intelligence took over.

Although Kogoro Mouri didn't have a good impression of Shinichi Kudo, the kid who might steal his precious daughter, he still regarded Shinichi as half a family member. Therefore, he instantly adjusted his state and became a sober Kogoro.

"What's going on? This guy's aura suddenly changed."

Hattori Heiji immediately felt an overwhelming aura, similar to that of his father, a police elite.

"I already told you, Shinichi isn't here. And who told you Shinichi was here? Who are you? What do you want with Shinichi?"

Ran looked at Heiji Hattori with a thoughtful expression, her face showing a pensive look.

"About this, when I was inquiring at Teitan High School, I heard that you are Shinichi Kudo's girlfriend, so I came here."

Heiji Hattori adjusted his hat and spoke casually.

"Huh? Girlfriend?"

Kogoro Mouri momentarily lost his composure, looking at Ran with an expression that betrayed his inability to hold back.

"Girlfriend? Who said that?!"

Xiao Lan's face flushed red instantly, and she said through gritted teeth.

"The security guard on duty at Teitan High School said that Shinichi Kudo is always with Ran Mouri, and the two are boyfriend and girlfriend. If you want to find Shinichi Kudo, you can ask Ran Mouri."

Hattori Heiji waved his hand, giving an innocent look.

Hearing this, Xiaolan felt a little discouraged and smiled helplessly. She couldn't bring herself to be angry with that old man from high school who had seen many students graduate.

"Anyway, I'm here to challenge Shinichi Kudo to a duel. Please tell me, where is he?"

Heiji Hattori pushed his hat up again and asked in a calm tone.

"I say, what brings a high school detective from Osaka all this way to see Shinichi Kudo?"

Just as Hattori Heiji was chattering away, a voice came from the doorway. A young man carrying a little boy spoke in a somewhat serious tone.

"Huh? Who?"

Hattori Heiji was startled and looked towards the doorway with some surprise. He narrowed his eyes and met Hoshino Hikaru's gaze.
