Shirou's clones number 30 million

Inside the Mori Detective Agency.

"You're really good at stirring up people's emotions, aren't you?" Conan said irritably. "If you went to ancient times, you would definitely be a rebel like Zhang Jiao."

Hayami Shirou smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he asked:

Do you think they'll be able to remarry this time?

"I don't know. Uncle Mori always messes things up at crucial moments, and he always makes Aunt Eri angry. Given their personalities, I wonder why they got together in the first place?"

Conan paused, then asked again:

"So, why did you suddenly come here to incite Uncle Mori? Given your personality, you wouldn't deliberately meddle in other people's business, would you?"

"It was just a coincidence; I didn't come here specifically to talk to him about those things. Rather, I've said it so many times before without any effect, so this time it will definitely be fruitless as well."

Over the past five years, he has encountered both Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki in several cases.

Basically, Hayami Shirou would try to bring the two of them together.

Unfortunately, Kogoro Mouri was utterly hopeless; perhaps he had other ideas, and their relationship always ended without a resolution.

Over time, Hayami Shirou lost all hope for their relationship.

After all, the two are not related, and it's the limit if they can exchange a few words when they meet. He can't possibly take it too seriously.

"This time, I actually came to see you."

As they were talking, Hayami Shirou took out a small bottle of medicine and handed it to him.

There are two servings inside. The bottle was specially made by him and took more than an hour to make.

"This is an antidote that I had someone develop, specifically for people whose bodies have shrunk after drinking APTK4869."

"So fast!"

Conan looked surprised and unconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's only been half a day since I asked you for this, right?"

"Well... the detailed research actually started a long time ago."

"Suspicious! Very suspicious. Are you really not the leader of the Black Organization?"

"How many times do I have to say it? No." Hayami Shirou said, rather speechless.

"I'll believe you for now. If you really are the leader of the Black Organization, then this world is far too dark."

The thought of that situation filled Conan with a sense of despair.

If only I had known earlier that this guy was the leader of the Black Organization, that everything was premeditated, and that I and Haibara had been dancing in his palm all along, with our every move under his surveillance.

If that were the case, Conan felt he might go crazy.

If even the person you trust most is a fake, then what in this world is worth trusting?

Conan took the medicine, opened the bottle, sniffed it lightly, and couldn't help but ask:

Are you sure this isn't vegetable juice?

"I asked, and it does contain vegetable ingredients."

"It really is vegetable juice. Is this really the antidote? Today can't be April Fool's Day, can it?"

“Of course not.” Hayami Shirou smiled slightly, his gaze lingering on the vegetable juice. “When I first found out there was milk and alcohol in it, I asked you the same question.”

"However, thinking about it carefully, even strong liquor can be an antidote, so why can't vegetable juice?"

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

Conan was speechless; this was even more outrageous than using strong liquor as an antidote.

As he brought the vegetable juice to his lips, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

If I had seen this guy earlier, would he have had some ulterior motive for deliberately chasing Uncle Mori away?

Actually, this isn't an antidote, but something else entirely?

For example, turning oneself into a monster like a wild beast?

No, if we keep doubting like this, it will never end.

If I were to face this guy, I would have absolutely no chance of winning.

Conan gritted his teeth and decided to trust Shirou Hayami.

Although the events of the past two days have made him increasingly suspicious, Conan is unwilling to doubt him because of their past interactions.

The next second, Conan picked up the medicine bottle and drank the green liquid inside in one gulp.

"what……!!"

The moment I drank it, my body suddenly felt hot, as if my bones were about to melt.

That feeling was exactly the same as the experience I had when I grew bigger in the past.

Although his body was in excruciating pain, Conan gradually felt more relaxed.

Great! It really is the antidote; I knew this guy wasn't the enemy.

Chapter 419 Even the dumbest person couldn't be completely oblivious.

Chapter 419, Section 420: Even the dumbest person couldn't be completely oblivious.

"Ah..."

After a series of screams, sixth-grade elementary school student Conan Edogawa disappeared from the world, replaced by 22-year-old Shinichi Kudo.

His original clothes had been torn to shreds, and his black-rimmed glasses had fallen to one side after being deformed.

Hayami Shirou then handed Kogoro Mouri his clothes and asked:

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"It feels great, but could you turn around first?"

"Alright, I'll go to the inner room and wait for you."

About three minutes later, Shinichi Kudo called out from outside, and Shirou Hayami then came out of the inner room.

"I'm finally back to normal, thank you."

"You're welcome. Well then, welcome back, Shinichi Kudo." Shirou Hayami smiled.

"The antidote I just received should last forever, right? I shouldn't suddenly shrink again, right?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. The person who developed the antidote told me that this is the real antidote specifically for APTK4869."

"That's good."

Shinichi Kudo breathed a sigh of relief; after five years, he was finally back.

The next moment, he suddenly realized a problem.

"Wait a minute, does that mean I can't turn back into Conan now?"

"Yes, that's it."

Hayami Shirou naturally knew what he was thinking, but his earlier failure to stop him was partly due to his desire to watch the spectacle.

"Oh no! How am I going to explain this to everyone? I didn't even say goodbye properly."

Shinichi Kudo's expression changed slightly. He paced back and forth anxiously, his face full of worry.

"It's not just Uncle Mori's side, it's the same at the school. It's really hard to explain why they left so suddenly without a word."

"Are you nostalgic for Conan's life?" Hayami Shirou asked with a light laugh.

Shinichi Kudo fell silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

"Over the past five years, I have gradually gotten used to primary school life."

“Sometimes, I’ll have the thought that ‘this kind of life isn’t so bad,’ but when I think of Xiaolan waiting for me, I immediately put those thoughts out of my mind.”

"But now, suddenly turning back into an adult, I realize that I... am indeed a little reluctant to leave."

"So, do you regret it?" Hayami Shirou asked with a serious expression.

Shinichi Kudo thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"No, thank you anyway. It seems that I'll have to have Haibara impersonate me to say goodbye to the other students at the elementary school."

"As for Uncle Mori... I've always been conflicted, wondering if he's ever seen through my disguise as Shinichi Kudo."

"Even the dumbest person would have some suspicions if someone kept pricking them with needles for five years."

"His behavior was so stupid that it made me suspect he might have been pretending not to know anything all along."

Unexpectedly, he said that, and Hayami Shirou couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I thought you'd never suspected him. So, are you planning to confront him?"

"Ah."

Shinichi Kudo nodded slightly, then sighed again:

"After receiving so much care from Uncle Mori over the past five years, it's really too much to just leave without saying goodbye."

"Moreover, my relationship with Xiaolan also needs his approval."

"So, I plan to tell Uncle Mori everything that has happened over the past five years."

"As for Xiaolan, I will confess everything to her after the Black Organization is captured."

“Alright.” Hayami Shirou nodded slightly. “In that case, let’s go together tomorrow morning to arrest those organization members in Tokyo. We’ll operate simultaneously around the world and solve the case in one fell swoop.”

"Huh...? Have we found a clue about the organization's leader?"

"Of course, I must say, Vermouth is quite useful. As an informant, she provided a lot of information about the organization's members."

After that, they followed the clues and continued to fly to all parts of the world.

Once a member of the organization with a code name is captured, they are immediately hypnotized and forced to reveal any information they know about other members of the organization.

Although it only took two short days, Hayami Shirou managed to gain control of all the members of the Black Organization using this method.

The last remaining leader, who enjoyed playing around, has also been placed under surveillance.
