Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

Ai Haibara glanced at Tsuki Kurokawasaki and asked curiously, "Why are you wearing a mask too?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki waved his hand: "Actually, I'm a celebrity, and I'm afraid that some die-hard fans will recognize me. That would be a real headache, so I have to be careful."

After taking Ai Haibara with him, Conan pried open the door to the storage room and slipped inside.

Conan hid in the cubicle, took off his clothes, wrapped himself in a large towel, and then excitedly ran out to rub his hands together.

"Alright, Haibara, hurry up and give me the antidote."

Ai Haibara took out an antidote and placed it in his hand.

"Let me reiterate one last time: I will start recording the duration of the drug's effects after you turn back, and please remember to tell me if you experience any discomfort."

"I know it all."

Conan nodded repeatedly.

"And most importantly, never, ever get carried away with your success."

"Hey hey, can I take the antidote now?"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded.

Without further hesitation, Conan threw the antidote into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Ten seconds pass.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki leaned against the wall and watched quietly.

Huihara Ai frowned.

How are you feeling right now?

"It seems not..."

Conan hadn't finished speaking.

He felt a sharp pain throughout his body.

The intense pain made him kneel down.

"Okay, it looks like it's coming."

Conan clutched his chest, enduring the pain, and said.

Seeing his pained expression, Ai Haibara nodded in satisfaction.

It seems to have worked.

Then, she left the storage room after saying, "I'll be waiting for your good news outside."

Kurokawasaki Tsukiya also left.

He's not as interested in changing sizes anywhere anymore.

He was used to such scenes.

Suddenly, a series of wailing screams erupted from the storage room.

The shouting continued for quite a while before it stopped.

Another moment passed.

Shinichi Kudo opened the door to the storage room.

"I've changed back."

"how are you feeling?"

"I feel pretty good right now."

Hui Yuan Ai nodded.

"Then it's my turn."

Ai Haibara pulled out a blue suit jacket that looked just like Conan's from her bag.

"Ai, do you really not need me to help you disguise yourself? My skills are quite impressive."

Ai Haibara looked somewhat disgusted.

"I don't want to become like that great detective. Something like that is fine."

Shinichi Kudo forced a smile.

Is my face really that bad?

After changing into a blue suit in the cubicle, Ai Haibara put on a wig, glasses, and a voice-changing mask invented by Professor Agasa.

It looks almost exactly like Conan now.

When Kurokawasaki saw Ai Haibara in disguise, he gave a fair assessment: "Hmm, she looks quite similar, just a bit too pale."

"Didn't the great detective spend more than ten days in the hospital? It's normal for him to look a bit pale."

"makes sense."

Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched: "Well, it's acceptable, so let's leave it at that."

After saying that, he took out a mask and put it on.

After all, Shinichi Kudo's face shouldn't be exposed so openly.

As soon as he put on the mask, he felt two pairs of eyes on him.

Shinichi Kudo looked up and saw that Tsuki Kurokawa and Ai Haibara were looking at him.

The three of them looked at each other.

They originally wore masks to cover up their true identities, but now if the three of them were to walk together while wearing masks...

It seems to attract more attention now.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki quietly suggested.

"How about... we go our separate ways?"

The other two nodded silently as well.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was the first to leave.

After getting the location of Kogoro Mouri from Shinichi Kudo, Ai Haibara also left.

Shinichi Kudo waited at a distance until the two had almost left before departing.

The backstage area of ​​the performance hall.

Ran and Sonoko quietly unveiled the curtain.

The seats outside were almost full.

Students and parents waited with laughter and cheers for the performance to begin.

"Why are there so many spectators? It's almost our turn to go on stage!"

Xiao Lan said weakly.

Sonoko, on the other hand, was quite excited, after all, she was working behind the scenes.

"Everyone has high expectations for this play. I've even publicly declared that our love story is more romantic than Romeo and Juliet."

Kazuha Toyama then walked up behind the two and greeted them.

"It's you, Kazuha, you're here too."

"Yeah! Even though Heiji said my coming would be a hassle for you guys, I still came."

"So that means Hattori didn't come today."

Kazuha nodded and smiled wryly: "By the way, why haven't I seen Shinichi Kudo?"

"Ah, because I didn't specifically invite him."

Sonoko sighed and complained, "Hey, you've brought all your friends and neighbors you haven't seen in ages, why didn't you invite your husband?"

Xiaolan blushed slightly upon hearing Yuanzi's words; she didn't know how to explain herself.

Should I say that I recently discovered that Conan and Shinichi Kudo seem to be the same person?

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Conan's voice drift in: "So you invited more than just me, Ran-neechan."

Conan and Kogoro Mouri approached the three of them.

"Conan, you're here too."

Xiao Lan said happily.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri pressed Conan's head down and said...

"This kid's cold hasn't gotten better at all. I was going to let him stay home and sleep, but he said he already promised you, so he absolutely has to come and he's ignoring me."

Hearing this, Xiaolan squatted down and asked, "How are you? Is your cold getting better?"

"I'm all right."

"Don't force yourself if you can't handle it."

Just then, Xiaolan noticed a figure slowly walking towards them from behind.

"Hey, Kurokawa-kun, you caught a cold too?"

Chapter 144 Performance

Kurokawasaki Tsuki walked towards them.

When Xiaolan asked him, he shook his head and then took off his mask.

He smiled and said, "I was just afraid of being recognized by some kendo enthusiasts, so I wore a mask to avoid some trouble. I don't have a cold."

Xiaolan nodded.

"So that's it!"

"Sorry, I encountered some interesting things outside, so I took a second look. I'm not late, am I?"

Sonoko said excitedly, "Of course not, Kurokawa-nii, you've come at just the right time. The show is about to begin."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Just then, a handsome guy wearing glasses nearby spoke up: "Xiao Lan, can you come over here for a moment? I'd like to discuss the opening lines with you."

Watching Xiaolan walk towards the handsome guy over there.

Kazuha exclaimed slightly, "This guy is so handsome! I wonder if he'll be acting opposite Ran?"

Sonoko replied, "Yes, they look like a perfect couple standing together!"

After saying that, Sonoko immediately started kowtowing.

After taking a quiet look, Conan exchanged a glance with Kurokawasaki Tsuki before turning and leaving.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri encouraged Ran and the others, saying, "You guys have to give a good performance!"

Then he left with Conan.

Kurokawasaki Tsukiya nodded. "That's right, you guys have to do your best, there are quite a few spectators outside."

He then put on a mask and left.

After the three of them turned and left.

Ran turned around and stared blankly at Conan's departing figure.

She felt a little strange.

Conan seems a little different than usual.

Could it be because of a cold?

He doesn't seem like Shinichi anymore...

Xiaolan's suspicions began to waver slightly.

Kurokawa Saki, Conan, and Kogoro Mouri found a place to sit outside.

Then, we waited quietly for the performance to begin.
