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

Yuan Tai asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Who is this big brother?"

Conan glanced at Shinichi Kudo before answering, "He's the high school student who lives next door to Professor Agasa."

As soon as she said that, Mitsuhiko immediately remembered: "Oh, he's the one who lives in the haunted house."

The four of them quickly hit it off and started chatting.

Shinichi Kudo watched silently.

He's not Conan anymore; looking at the four of them now, he has a strange feeling he can't quite describe.

It felt like a dream.

As Shinichi watched them, Ran was also quietly watching him.

She also had a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Now, I find Shinichi to be somewhat... like Conan.

Xiaolan shook her head.

What am I even thinking?

"Shinichi, we need to hurry up or we'll be late."

After saying that, Xiaolan quickly walked forward.

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo blurted out something without thinking.

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan paused in her steps.

Suffer!

Shinichi Kudo also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"what?"

Ran turned around and looked at Shinichi Kudo, completely puzzled.

"Oh, no, I was just kidding."

Ran leaned close to Shinichi's face, frowning slightly as she stared at him.

Shinichi Kudo waved his hands repeatedly: "I was really just joking."

This doesn't seem to be an illusion.

Conan looks like Shinichi, and Shinichi looks like Conan.

Xiaolan was quite upset, but for the time being, she suppressed her doubts.

"I can't stand you. You better be more alert during class."

"Okay, okay, I will. Let's hurry up and go to school, or we'll really be late."

Seeing that Ran wasn't dwelling on the matter any longer, Shinichi Kudo breathed a sigh of relief.

The two continued their journey towards the school.

Ai Haibara silently watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

night.

Mihana Central Building Observation Restaurant.

"What's wrong, Ai? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was riding the elevator going up, and Haibara Ai was standing next to him.

"Our main purpose is to observe the mice."

Ai Haibara neither confirmed nor denied that she had treated people to a meal.

Ding.

The elevator door opens.

This is a restaurant with a very nice ambiance, offering a view of Tokyo's nightscape.

Ai Haibara found a seat by the window, from which she could see Shinichi Kudo's table not far away.

The waiter quickly brought the menu over and waited nearby.

Kurokawa Saki slowly flipped through the menu.

Tonight's meal will be quite luxurious.

At that moment, Ai Haibara's voice came from the other side.

"It's my treat tonight."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki immediately put down the menu and glanced at Haibara Ai.

"Then I won't be polite."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki quickly flipped through the menu.

They quickly decided on their share.

However, the waiter seemed to look at him with a strange expression.

However, Tsukimitsu Kurokawasaki didn't care.

Anyway, I can have a great meal.

Chapter 148 Kurokawa, the younger brother, is at the scene again.

"To be honest, you and Conan are really alike."

"what?"

Upon hearing Ran's words, Shinichi Kudo almost vomited up his drink.

He smiled awkwardly.

"Heh...Really? How...how could that be?"

Xiaolan blinked.

"His parents have always lived abroad, just like your parents."

"So that's how it is, haha..."

Ran covered her mouth and laughed, "And lately, I've been thinking that you and Conan are the same person."

Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched violently.

"I was thinking that you might be involved in some big case and that you had Dr. Agasa make some kind of drug to shrink your body in order to hide your identity. Don't you think I'm being a bit far-fetched?"

A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Shinichi Kudo's forehead.

It was pretty much guessed correctly.

"And, strangely enough, Conan seems like a completely different person ever since you came back."

After saying that, Ran blinked her big eyes and looked at Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo was already drenched in sweat.

"Haha...that really is..."

Shinichi Kudo stammered for a long time, unable to give a coherent answer.

Looking at Shinichi's appearance, a strange light flashed in Ran's eyes.

She then changed the subject.

"By the way, didn't you say you had something to say to me? What was it?"

"Uh, well."

Shinichi Kudo hadn't said it yet.

The waiter then pushed the food cart over to them and served them their food.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir and madam."

After the food was served, the waiter left.

"Xiao Lan, let's enjoy it while it's hot. What I wanted to say, well, there's no rush."

Shinichi Kudo scratched his head.

Xiaolan nodded as she looked at the fragrant steak in front of her.

"Then I'll start eating."

"Okay, try it now."

Shinichi Kudo quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Xiaolan saw what he was doing, but didn't ask any questions.

the other side.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was also enjoying the delicious food.

We're using the same beef, so why does the beef cooked at restaurants always taste better than mine?

How strange.

I'm not quite sure, let me take a couple more bites and see what happens.

Ai Haibara, seeing him eating a steak with such a serious and focused expression, couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"What's wrong?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki didn't directly say that he coveted the chef's culinary skills; he just made it up.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if someone else will be unlucky later."

Ai Haibara paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, and then glanced at Shinichi Kudo.

She said suspiciously, "It can't be, he was just yesterday..."

"That's impossible to say."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

When Ai Haibara heard what he said, she also felt that it was a bit outrageous.

If that's the case, then Shinichi Kudo is really unlucky.

Before long, they had almost finished eating.

At Shinichi Kudo's table, only the final dessert remained unserved.

Ran wiped her mouth and continued to ask Shinichi Kudo about the topic they had just discussed.

Shinichi Kudo also coughed lightly.

"Ahem, actually, what I wanted to tell you was..."

"What is it?"

"Uh, actually, it's just..."

Ran noticed Shinichi's slightly flushed face and realized something; her own face turned red as well.

However, at that moment, the power of death finally took effect.

"what--"

A woman's scream shattered the restaurant's tranquil atmosphere.

"See? I knew it."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki said calmly.

Ai Haibara also revealed her crescent-shaped eyes.

Kudo is really something...
