Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"No, they are not..."

Kogoro Mouri was immediately embarrassed; he only had one daughter, not a son.

"Sure, if a father and son visit together, outsiders usually won't think they're detectives."

Heiji Hattori adjusted his hat, revealing an expression of great interest.

"I can do that too, Ran. You stay here and take care of Conan, let's go check it out together."

Hikaru Hoshino walked over to Ran and spoke, while also giving Conan a reassuring look.

Conan was initially thinking of struggling to get up, since Heiji Hattori had come to see Shinichi Kudo, and who knew what would happen if he let the other man do whatever he wanted. However, after exchanging a glance with Hikaru Hoshino, Conan relaxed his body, lay down again, and chose to trust his companion.

"Thank you for your help, Hoshino-kun. Please feel free to contact me if you need any assistance."

Ran held a wet towel in her hand, wiping Conan's sweat as she spoke.

If possible, Ran would also like to go along. After all, Heiji Hattori came to her looking for Shinichi Kudo. Although he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she was a little worried about Heiji's attitude. However, Conan's physical condition did not allow her to leave.

Don't worry.

Hikaru Hoshino gave the two of them a reassuring look, and then followed Kogoro Mouri and his group toward the house of Congressman Isao Tsujimura.

……

Representative Tsujimura Kono's house is a two-story villa. A man in a black suit is working in the garden in front of the house.

"Madam, you're back. Are these guests here to see the master?"

When the butler, Fumio Koike, dressed in a black suit, saw Kimie Tsujimura, he immediately stepped forward.

"Yes, this is Mr. Mori. Is the master in the study?"

Kimie Tsujimura stopped and asked casually.

"Yes, the master went to his study before two o'clock, and he probably hasn't come out yet."

Fumio Koike nodded and then stepped back.

"I see."

Kimie Tsujimura nodded and led Kogoro Mouri and the other two into the room.

At the entrance, two young figures seemed to have heard the noise and came out together to greet us.

A young man and a young woman were present. The man, wearing a light blue coat, was none other than Tsujimura Takayoshi, the eldest son of the Tsujimura family. Beside him was his girlfriend, Katsuragi Sachiko.

Why is she here?

Upon seeing this, Kimie Tsujimura frowned instantly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"I brought her here because my father has always been unwilling to see Sachiko, so I brought Sachiko to talk to him."

Tsujimura Takayoshi immediately pulled Sachiko aside, standing between the two of them, and spoke firmly. As the eldest son, his relationship with his stepmother, Tsujimura Kimie, was delicate, and he wouldn't show her too much respect.

"Um, are these people Mother's friends?"

Seeing her boyfriend and mother arguing, Katsuragi Sachiko felt a little lost and immediately tried to change the subject.

"This has nothing to do with you, and besides, you have no right to call me Mother!"

Kimie Tsujimura's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but his tone became even more stern. He then ignored the two of them and beckoned Kogoro Mouri and the others to go upstairs together.

"What?! A second wife actually thinks she's the mistress of the house!"

Tsujimura Takayoshi watched Tsujimura Kimie's retreating figure and muttered something in a low voice.

"Hey, Gongjiang, you're back."

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, an elderly man with gray hair and a long beard appeared, smiling as he spoke. He was none other than Tsujimura Isao's father, Tsujimura Toshimitsu.

"Father, is my husband still in the study?"

Kimie Tsujimura stopped and looked at the old man.

"That's right, he went into the study and hasn't come out since."

Tsujimura Toshimitsu nodded, seemingly in a good mood.

"I understand, I'll take the guest to him."

Kimie Tsujimura nodded, and then said nothing more.

Seeing this, Hoshino Hikaru fell into deep thought.

"The patriarch of a family was in his study not long ago and hasn't come out since. Could he be dead?"

Hoshino Hikaru raised an eyebrow slightly. Although he wasn't familiar with all the plot details of the original work, he knew some of the basic patterns. When Hattori Heiji appeared, there was always a case. Therefore, there was a high probability that there was a case here.

In a room, if a character, especially a patriarch of a family, stays alone in a study, bathroom, or studio for a long time, it is very likely that he has been dead for a long time. In this light, the so-called patriarch may already be dead.

"Beep beep!"

Just as Hoshino Hikaru was thinking, her bracelet suddenly gave a notification sound, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"Madam, may I ask where your bathroom is?"

Hoshino Hikaru calmly put away the bracelet and asked casually.

"Just go straight in that direction."

Without turning his head, Kimie Tsujimura pointed in a direction.

"Thank you, I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, Hoshino Hikaru walked directly towards the restroom.

After entering the restroom, Hoshino Hikaru quickly looked around to make sure no one else was there, and immediately dialed Ran Mouri's number.

"What happened?"

"I asked in a calm tone," Hoshino Hikaru asked.

"Hoshino-kun, Conan... he's turned back into Shinichi!"

Xiao Lan's tone carried a mix of panic, joy, and bewilderment.

She let Conan lie down and rest, gave him cold medicine and hot water, and then prepared to go to the kitchen to make him something to eat.

Conan quickly finished a cup of hot water, thinking he would pour himself another. Then he saw another cup on the table, and feeling dizzy, he took a sip, only to find that it tasted like alcohol.

Soon, a burning pain shot through his heart, and then his body slowly grew larger.

Logically, Ran should be happy that her childhood friend Shinichi has recovered. However, Shinichi is considered dead by the Black Organization, and his sudden return to life might affect their previous plans, leaving Ran unsure of how to handle the situation.

"Don't panic. Call the professor immediately and have Ai and the professor come over to give Kudo a medical check-up..."

Hoshino Hikaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Conan to still drink baijiu under these circumstances. However, knowing that baijiu only has a temporary effect, he did not panic but quickly made arrangements.

"husband!!"

Just as Hoshino Hikaru was on the phone with Ran, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire villa.

"Is...is someone really dead?"

Hikaru Hoshino immediately looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

"Anyway, Ran, let Ai handle Conan's case for now. I'll probably have to deal with another case here."

As Hoshino Hikaru quickly gave his instructions, he walked toward the source of the sound.

"Hoshino, regarding the case and Hattori Heiji's situation, if you have any questions, let me know immediately... cough cough!"

"Wait, Shinichi, you should lie down now..."

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Hoshino Hikaru shook his head:

"You should rest well and take care of yourself. I'll handle things here."
