Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Vodka was shamefully tempted.

It's so much easier if someone takes the initiative to step on the landmine.

"Call your older brother."

When the call connected, Qingze gestured for Vodka to speak.

“Brother, I’ve arrived in Kyoto. Koniak is here too, and he’s dressed up as you.”

Gin noticed that the veins on his forehead were bulging more often lately.

This Koniak, he used to like to impersonate him and cause trouble, and now he's doing it again?

"Where are the others? What are they doing?"

Vodka glanced at Koniak discreetly. "Next to me."

Gin suddenly laughed. "Koniak, you're deliberately dressing up like me. Are you planning to kill Shinichi Kudo?"

"Is that not allowed?" Qingze asked back.

"You've really gotten yourself into this mess for a woman," Gin said sarcastically.

He deliberately used someone else's appearance just so his girlfriend wouldn't find out and hate him.

This person really went to great lengths to eliminate his love rival.

"I'll say it again, I don't like her," Qingze emphasized.

While Koniak wasn't paying attention to him, Vodka, wearing sunglasses, rolled his eyes.

Yes, yes, you don't like it.

If you don't like me, why did you travel all this way to kill your love rival?

Gin on the other end of the phone scoffed, completely ignoring the man's insincere words.

"Is Vermouth here too?"

Vodka called him after the two men had spoken, and Gin naturally guessed that Vermouth was there.

Qingze said lazily, "Yeah, she even threatened me not to touch her students."

Gin's tone became increasingly mocking, "I'm rather curious, who exactly is this person that you two are protecting so fiercely?"

Aozawa's tone instantly turned cold, "Gin, I'm warning you!"

Despite the warning, Gin's mocking attitude remained unchanged.

“Koniak, your emotions are completely swayed by her.”

"none of your business!"

Aoze lost interest in talking to him anymore. "Anyway, I'll handle Shinichi Kudo. Don't get involved."

"Row."

Gin was naturally delighted with this, as it would give him another leverage over Gin, so why not?

After hanging up the phone, Qingze looked at Vodka and said, "Now you're my little brother, so take my orders."

Vodka: "..."

Qingze opened the car door, got out, and returned to the hotel.

Avoiding all sight and surveillance, he quietly entered Ran Mouri's room.

Ran Mouri was still eating, but she was eating absentmindedly.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

[A person came to the room.]

Upon seeing Qingze's message, she calmly closed her phone and waited a while before pretending to rub her stomach.

"Sonoko, I have a bit of an upset stomach and I'm going to the restroom. Call me when we're ready to assemble."

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it shouldn't take too long."

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out of the restaurant.

Shinichi Kudo seemed to have followed her. She ran into the restroom next to the restaurant, waited for a while, and then came out. After confirming that no one was there, she climbed all the way down the fire escape to the floor where the dormitory was located.

She wondered if it was because of climbing the stairs, but she felt her heart was beating a little too fast.

She took out her room key, opened the door, and slammed it shut like a thief before finally having time to check if anyone was in the room.

In the room, the curtains that had been drawn back were now closed, and in the dim light, she saw a tall figure sitting in a chair.

That long, silver hair was so striking that it made her freeze in place.

"What, are you scared?"

The familiar voice reached her, and her body instantly relaxed.

"Mr. Qingze?"

Once her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she tentatively took two steps forward.

The person in front of me was dressed the same as I had seen in the elevator, but now he was much more relaxed and his overly sharp aggression had subsided.

"Mr. Qingze, why are you dressing up as Gin?"

Chapter 113 You are not allowed to take risks for him again.

Qingze rested his chin on his hand, watching her with a leisurely air.

"What, you're upset that I scared your childhood sweetheart?"

Hearing Qingze's words, Mouri Ran felt deeply helpless.

The current Qingze reminded her of a hedgehog, with all its sharp quills standing up.

Before she could say anything, he had already adopted a defensive stance.

He's clearly quite knowledgeable about psychology, so why does that knowledge seem to have no effect on him?

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask Mr. Qingze why he dressed up like this.”

Qingze did not answer the question, but instead said:

Gin already knows that Shinichi Kudo is not dead.

Ran Mouri was a little confused. Seeing that she didn't understand, Aozawa explained the connection between Shinichi Kudo and Gin.

"Shinichi Kudo was given a lethal poison by Gin, but he survived and shrunk. He's currently considered dead by the organization. But Vodka has witnessed his survival and reappearance."

Ran Mouri finally understood the situation and why Shinichi cared so much about Gin.

"Therefore, Gin will kill Shinichi again!"

“That’s right. Because his appearance was too bold, Gin suspected it was a trap, so he didn’t come over.”

Ran Mouri breathed a quiet sigh of relief, which meant things hadn't gotten to the worst point yet.

The fact that Qingze appeared here in the form of Gin suggests that he must have found a way to break the deadlock, right?

"Shinichi Kudo now has two choices: one is to confirm that this is a trap, and the other is to make the identity of Shinichi Kudo completely die."

Qingze explained the pros and cons of the two options to her one by one.

"The first option is of course better. After he gets the antidote that can completely restore his body, or after he destroys the organization, he can continue to live as Shinichi Kudo."

"But the paranoid Gin wouldn't let him off so easily; he would reopen the investigation into whether Shinichi Kudo was really dead."

"At that time, your classmates, those who have had contact with Shinichi Kudo, you, your parents, Sonoko Suzuki—all will be targeted by the organization. When they discover that Shinichi Kudo is not dead, they will stop at nothing to use you to force him out..."

Qingze's voice suddenly lowered, his cold words carrying a hint of chill.

"Don't think the organization can't do it. You should know how insignificant the lives of ordinary people like you are to the organization."

My heart was clenched.

A huge shadow seemed to be looming over us.

"As for the second one, that's very simple: just have Shinichi Kudo die."

Dying doesn't mean the matter is over.

Shinichi Kudo didn't die, so who helped him hide? How much did his parents know about the organization?

The organization will definitely investigate this.

Given Gin's personality, he will still eliminate any potential threats and take care of the entire Kudo family.

But that's none of his business; Kudo Yusaku isn't without ability.

Of course, the first option is better. He deliberately exaggerated the disadvantages of the first option in order to sow discord.

Should he choose to preserve his identity at the risk of endangering those around him, or should he let the identity of Shinichi Kudo die out completely?

If you choose the former, won't your halo be shattered?

He really went to great lengths to ensure that Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo completely severed ties.

"Mr. Aozawa, you will help me, right?" Ran Mouri suddenly grabbed his hand.

Since he's here, it means he already has a solution.

All that's left is to choose.

Qingze's gaze fell on her hands. "I can help you, but I have conditions."

"You said."

"No matter which one he chooses, he can no longer stay in your house."

"it is good!"

Ran Mouri agreed without hesitation.

"You are not allowed to take any more risks because of him!"

Upon hearing this request, Ran Mouri did not rush to agree, but instead looked him in the eyes.

"Is Mr. Qingze still angry because of this?"

Qingze shook off her hand and turned his head away.

"No."

Ran Mouri sighed. "I can't control how I help people. All I can say is that I will try my best to help others while ensuring my own safety."

Qingze turned his head, stared into her eyes, and said, word by word:

"I told you you're not allowed to take risks for him!"

His attitude was very firm: either agree or ignore it, leaving Shinichi Kudo to fend for himself.

Once you take a risk, you can do it countless times.

Aozawa didn't want to repeat the incident where Ran Mouri risked her life using his body.

He stood up, his tall figure looming over her, his eyes burning with what seemed like rage.

"Do you know what I would have suffered if you had gone that day?"

“He has Japanese public security personnel, police personnel, and FBI personnel around him. Once he knows my identity, it means that all of them know my identity, and they will do everything they can to kill me.”

Ran Mouri took a step back, her face pale.

How...how could this be?

How could this happen?

Vermouth, Gin, and the others are all doing fine, aren't they?

How could the police possibly do such a thing?

As if he could read her mind, Qingze chuckled.

"Are you trying to say that Vermouth and the others are all fine?"
