Conan: Ran, I really am Shinichi, you have to believe me!

Seeing that Conan was only afraid and wouldn't answer her questions, Shiho Miyano didn't ask Conan for his consent. She directly searched him and quickly found the eavesdropping device on him.

"Hey, my great detective, what are you planning to do with all these listening devices? You elementary school detective!"

As Shiho Miyano asked Conan this question, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at him.

Conan: Damn it, being too famous isn't good either. Everywhere I go, people recognize me! So unlucky…

Chapter 74 Conan: I have a cousin? How come I didn't know?

Seeing that Conan was so tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything, and realizing that asking further would be a waste of time with her sister, Shiho Miyano threw the eavesdropping device back to Conan, while warning him:

"You little brat, behave yourself. I don't care what you do, but if you dare to mess with my sister, I'll let you know what it's like to be a guinea pig."

After saying that, Shiho Miyano walked down the corridor toward room 503. She hadn't gone two steps when she stopped, turned back, and said:

"Conan, what are you doing standing there? Didn't you come here to see your cousin today?"

"My cousin?"

Upon hearing the voice of the girl with short brown hair, Conan almost broke down, unconsciously letting out a cry while mentally shouting: I have a cousin? How could I possibly have a cousin?

Oh, right, I'm pretending to be Conan right now, my stupid half-brother Conan. It's not unreasonable that I have a cousin.

My cousin is a relative on my mother's side, so it's normal that I, Conan's real older brother Shinichi Kudo, don't know him.

Thinking of this, Conan forced a smile and said, "Yes, I'm here to see my cousin."

Since Conan is my foolish younger brother, Shinichi Kudo, then Conan is one of us, and Conan's cousin is also one of us.

The thought of suddenly having two more of his own people brought a sweet smile to Conan's face.

Thinking of his foolish younger brother, although he disliked him and always wanted to kick him while he was down, they were blood relatives after all, and if he encountered any difficulties, he would definitely help him with his life.

Judging others by myself, if I, Shinichi Kudo, am this kind of person, then my dear, foolish younger brother, Conan Edogawa, who shares the same blood as me, must be the same kind of person too!

After all, we have the same father, and we must unite to eliminate foreign enemies!

Moreover, although that half-brother is a bit stupid, he deliberately goes against the Metropolitan Police Department, which cuts off any chance of getting help from the police when things go wrong.

But just thinking about that foolish little brother-in-law, although he's a bit young, he's managed to catch so many murderers at such a young age and even take down an armed criminal gang. Conan gets excited just thinking about it.

Although we haven't been able to find our foolish younger brother, who seems to have disappeared, for so many days now that we've found information about his cousin, we should be able to find him soon.

Thinking of this, Conan, who wanted to find his younger brother and cousin, suddenly came back to life. He strode confidently along, pondering which of these long rows of apartments was his cousin's house.

Why don't you ask the short-haired beauty in front of us?

No, no, if I don't even know where my cousin's house is, wouldn't that tell them that I, Conan, am an imposter?

Moreover, Jiang Chengbei, who is suspected of being a member of the Black Organization and has been suspicious of his identity, lives in room 504. If he accidentally reveals his true identity, wouldn't he be doomed?

Therefore, we must be careful, not reckless, and not impulsive. We should think things through carefully before taking any action.

When Conan saw the woman with brown hair stop in front of apartment 503, which had a nameplate with Hirota's name on it, he silently memorized the name Hirota.

If neither she nor her sister are married, then we can be sure that this woman with brown hair is surnamed Hirota, but everything depends on first confirming that they are not married and are sisters.

Furthermore, this beautiful woman with brown hair who looks remarkably like a member of the Black Organization lives next door to Jiangcheng North. It seems that the possibility that they are both members of the Black Organization has increased. Otherwise, why would they live next door to each other in a city as big as Tokyo?

As Conan slowly walked forward, he pondered who his cousin really was.

After learning that his cousin lived there, Conan finally understood why Jiang Chengbei had always suspected that he wasn't the real Conan. It turned out that the biggest reason was Conan's cousin.

This time, he found his cousin whom he had never met before. In order to find his foolish younger brother, the real Conan, through him, he also advised his cousin to move out of here as soon as possible, and at the same time to be wary of the two people living in 503 and 504.

504 lived in the north of Jiangcheng, so Conan didn't even think twice before quietly and smoothly walking past his door.

As Conan walked past 504 and stood in front of 505, Masami Hirota, who lived in 503, opened her door. She greeted Shiho first, then immediately saw Conan and called out to him:

"Conan, what brings you here? Are you here to see your cousin?"

"Huh? Oh, right, I'm here to see my cousin."

When someone called out to him, Conan paused for a moment, then unconsciously acted like a child, scratching the back of his head and grinning foolishly at the long-haired, straight-haired beauty who came out of room 503.

While pretending to be a child, Conan observed the two sisters standing at the door of room 503:

They have different hair colors and very different face shapes. One has an oriental beauty, while the other has a distinctly Western face, so they are not biological sisters. Therefore, the one with short brown hair probably doesn't have the surname Hirota.

Conan observed as he silently deduced the reasoning in his mind.

After analyzing the situation, Conan continued searching for his cousin, as secretly finding him was Conan's most important task at the moment.

Seeing that Conan was still walking forward, which didn't match his claim of coming to find his cousin, Masami Hirota called out to Conan again, saying in surprise:

"Conan, why are you still walking forward? You've gone too far, didn't you realize?"

"Huh? Oh dear... Hirota-neechan, I was thinking about something and got distracted for a moment, hahaha..."

Conan scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly: He was currently in 505, and Ms. Hirota said that he had gone too far, so 505 and everything after it were no longer there.

Meanwhile, 504 is Jiang Chengbei's house, so we can eliminate it; 503 is Guangtian's sister's house, so we can eliminate that as well. That leaves only 501 and 502.

You have to choose one of the two options, with a 50% probability.

Unfortunately, there are too few clues. I only just learned that the real Conan has a cousin, and I don't have any other information, so I can't make any deductions.

Seeing Conan walk back, Masami Hirota stopped paying attention, closed the door, and prepared to go shopping with Shiho Miyano.

As they approached the end of the corridor, she looked back and saw Conan still dawdling as he walked back, now standing in front of room 503.

Conan had already decided that he would dawdle a little longer and wait for the sisters to come downstairs before knocking on the doors of 501 and 502 respectively.

Although I don't know the real Conan's cousin, how could that cousin not know me?

As long as he recognizes him, and if the real Conan isn't around, he'll continue pretending to be Conan and try to get more information out of his cousin.

If the real Conan were here, that would be even better. He would have a support group. Even if the real Conan couldn't help directly, it would be good to get a portable tranquilizer gun from him and learn his skills in subduing criminals.

Conan had a good plan, but he was extremely surprised to see Hirota Masami loitering in front of his house, and said:

"Conan, didn't you come to see your cousin? Why don't you take out your key, open the door, and go inside? And what are you doing loitering in front of my house?"

When Hirota Masami and Miyano Shiho first met Conan, they saw Kojo Kita skillfully take out the key, open the door, and go inside. But this time, Conan's performance really surprised the Miyano sisters.

Before Conan could figure out how to answer the question posed by Masami Hirota, Shiho Miyano suddenly interjected:

"Sis, that great detective is thinking about doing something bad again, that's why he's so distracted, he can't even find the door to my cousin's house."

"Besides, he's carrying several listening devices. Sister, you need to be careful. This curious, lawless elementary school detective might break the law and secretly install listening devices in your house."

Hirota Masami took Shiho Miyano's joke to heart immediately. She was currently planning a bank robbery, and it would be terrible if this detective kid found out.

Chapter 75 Conan: Jiang Chengbei is actually my cousin?!

"Conan, didn't you bring your keys today?"

Conan was shocked by Hirota Masami's concern: he actually had a key to his cousin's house. It seems that the former Conan and his cousin had a good relationship. This outside help is definitely reliable.

"Huh? Oh dear... the keys... I forgot them today, haha..."

"Not only did you forget your keys, but I think you even forgot where your cousin lives. You call yourself a primary school detective? I bet you have a script and hired someone to do it for you, and you're just putting on a show."

Shiho Miyano had already noticed that something was off about Conan; he wasn't as smart as portrayed on TV or in the newspapers. Judging from his behavior just now, he was just a silly kid.

Thinking about all the listening devices he was carrying, Shiho Miyano suddenly realized that the boy's boasted genius reasoning ability might just be due to listening and the fact that the murderer underestimated him because he was a child.

Although the idea came suddenly, the more Shiho Miyano thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

"Conan, why are you stopped in front of my house? Aren't you going to your cousin's house? Why haven't you knocked on the door yet?"

Remembering Shiho's comment that the little detective was carrying a lot of listening devices, Masami Hirota couldn't help but start to have doubts when she saw Conan constantly stopping in front of her house.

After all, she had made a lot of preparations for robbing the bank, and there were bound to be some things in her house that she couldn't keep to herself. If Conan broke into her house without permission, it would be terrible.

So she couldn't help but worry and urged Conan to meet Jiang Chengbei soon, hoping that the honest boy Xiao Bei would keep the curious little detective in check.

Seeing that the Hirota sisters were still standing there and urging him to leave, Conan was also getting anxious.

This place is dangerous. There's a short, brown-haired girl in front of him who somehow looks remarkably like the man in black. Also, there's Jiang Chengbei, who seems to be part of the Black Organization, hiding in room 504. Conan doesn't want to be exposed, and he's in a real hurry.

Under the watchful eyes and urging of the Hirota sisters, Conan gritted his teeth and made up his mind: if there are no clues, then he'll just guess. He'll choose either 501 or 502 at random; at least there's a 50% chance he'll get it right.

Forced into a corner, and with this gambler's mentality, Conan resolutely turned back and headed towards 502 and 501.

Seeing that Conan, after a period of internal struggle, was finally walking towards her, Masami Hirota was startled:

Has he realized he's in the wrong? Did he discover he was planning to rob a bank?

Is this a way of wanting to connect more with oneself and discover more clues?

If that's not the case, why did he hesitate to knock on Xiao Bei's door and instead walk towards him instead?

His own sister Shiho didn't even notice that he was planning to rob a bank, but Conan, who had only met him twice, noticed something was amiss. No wonder he's a famous elementary school detective!

We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. We cannot let him utter excuses like "I also want to go with you guys" which are ostensibly about going together, but are actually a pretext for stalking and surveillance.

I can't let this brat ruin my precious date with Shiho!

Thinking of this, Hirota Masami also took a step and walked towards Conan. As they passed each other, Hirota Masami smiled and preemptively said to Conan:

"Conan, it's been a long time since my sister and Shiho have seen each other, so we can't take you on our date."

Hearing Masami Hirota's inexplicable words, Conan was stunned: "If you're going on a date, go on your date! Why are you just standing here and not moving? Do you know how annoying you are to me?!"

Also, who wants to go on a date with you guys? I can't wait for you guys to leave so I can go and find out who my cousin is in 501 and 502!

Just as Conan was still complaining about the two pretty girls, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he could hear his own heartbeat. His body trembled with fear.

Conan was so terrified because he saw Hirota Masami press the doorbell of the Jiangcheng Kita family's house in room 504, and then shout loudly:

"Xiao Bei, open the door quickly, your cousin Conan is here."

Nani? ! ! !

After hearing what Masami Hirota said, Conan felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet, almost falling over.

No wonder Jiang Chengbei had a malicious smile on his face when he first met him, and kept doubting that he was not Conan, but Shinichi Kudo who had shrunk after taking the drug. It turns out that all the problems stemmed from Jiang Chengbei knowing the real Conan from the past!

This imposter doesn't even recognize his own cousin; no wonder Jiang Chengbei is keeping a close eye on him!

That's it. Since he's my cousin, and I've never shown that I know him or treated him like a cousin, my identity is now out of the question.

That damned Jiang Chengbei! Since the real Conan is your cousin, you should at least show some sign of it and give us some hints when we're interacting with him!
