Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 188 The Real Xiaolan

Oh no, I seem to have fallen into the pit again.

Yukiko Kudo once wondered if God saw that she had had an easy life in the first half of her life, and was trying to make up for all the hardships she had gone through?

Otherwise, what is going on with these obstacles and pitfalls at every step?

She went back to Tokyo to visit her son, but someone reported her, her husband, and her old friend and they were all put under house arrest.

She was only released after her husband gave in and promised a lot of things.

She went out to relax with her son, but she met the unlucky star, Tachibana Seiji, and was forced to act out a double act with her son in a murder case, and was caught red-handed.

Originally, the knowledge of Conan's identity was just a tacit understanding between the two parties, but now it has been brought to the surface.

After much difficulty in signing a humiliating treaty, both sides reached a ceasefire. However, Tachibana Shizuka instigated a third party to intervene.

Yukiko Kudo didn't have any confidence at all when facing Xiaolan.

"Aunt Yukiko, you know about Shinichi's situation, right?" Xiaolan stared into Kudo Yukiko's eyes and asked word by word.

At this moment, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly understood why Xiaolan brought him here. After all, she was the daughter of detective Kogoro Mouri and lawyer Eri Kisaki.

He said how could these two old arrogant people raise a wife like the one in the female channel? Are you kidding?

The Xiaolan in front of me with a faint aura rising up is the real Xiaolan!
In essence, Xiaolan's visit was more like a private confrontation, but it was not as serious in nature.

But in the final analysis, the essence is the same.

Since it is a confrontation, it must be ensured that the party being confronted is telling the truth. With Tachibana Shizuka following Kudo Yukiko, it is naturally impossible for him to lie.

This is also what Yukiko Kudo is struggling with, because with a shrewd person like Shizuka Tachibana around, she really can't fool Xiaolan easily.

"I'm sorry, Shinichi. Mommy really tried her best. If you want to blame anyone, you can only blame yourself for digging a hole too deep for yourself."

Kudo Yukiko sighed and straightened her expression: "Yes, Auntie knows. Auntie knew about Shinichi's transformation into Conan a long time ago."

It was clearly time to tell the truth. Speaking the truth, speaking from the heart, could still retain a modicum of goodwill; if the deception was exposed, it would truly drive people away.

When it comes to making a decision, Yukiko Kudo never hesitates too much.

"Do you know how dangerous the organization Shinichi is facing is?" Xiaolan suddenly asked another question.

"We didn't know this at first, but later Yusaku asked his friends to investigate and finally we got some understanding.

This is also the main reason why we came back this time. We originally hoped to bring Shinichi to the United States, or at least get away from the dangerous area of ​​Tokyo."

"Really? I don't believe it." Tachibana Shizuka couldn't stand Kudo Yukiko fooling the child, and asked her:

"But how dangerous is that organization? Doesn't your husband find the idea of ​​rejuvenation a little scary?
A fucking organization has developed a drug that can rejuvenate people, and judging from Conan's current condition, there are no side effects at all.

Isn’t this terrifying enough?”

"Besides, you want to bring Conan back to America. Can you really take him? Will he really be willing to go with you?
You may not have thought about these, but I guess Mr. Kudo Yusaku must have thought about them."

In the final analysis, no matter what the Kudo couple thought in their hearts, the end of this incident in the original work was that they transferred part of the influence on Conan to the Mori family.

The couple continued to do their normal business in the US, while Kogoro Mouri was nearly shot in the head by a sniper rifle in the office. The father was fine, but the future father-in-law was nearly killed. How does this make sense?
People say that getting promoted and getting rich means your wife will die, but in Conan's case it becomes the death of the father-in-law?
After her secret thoughts were exposed, Kudo Yukiko gave up on herself and said, "Yes, Yusaku and I did discuss whether Shinichi should stay or go.

In the end, Yusaku convinced me that if Shinichi really wanted to stay in Tokyo, then let him stay and train.

We always respect Shinichi’s opinions.”

"Training with the lives of the Mori family? If Conan's identity is known to the Black Organization, will the Mori family still be alive?

Are all of you Kudo family members so selfish?"

Tachibana Shizuka's words made Kudo Yukiko so angry that she was like a Buddha being born and two Buddhas ascending to heaven. Her big chest was heaving up and down, but she couldn't say a word.

Who made their son actually do this?

A sage judges deeds, not hearts, and the same applies here. No matter how good Conan's intentions are, what he does is just a mess.

Since you feel so bad about this, you can't be afraid of what others say.

Tachibana Shizuka's two rebuttals completely made Kudo Yukiko give up the idea of ​​clearing her son's name, and then came Xiaolan's third question:

"Auntie, what on earth does Shinichi think?"

From the fact that Xiaolan has been taking care of Maori Kogoro after he and Kisaki Eri separated, and wants Kisaki Eri to move back, we can see how much she values ​​her family.

Normally, Xiaolan would just laugh off Kogoro Mouri's complaints about Shinichi Kudo, treating them as her father's little grumbles.

But what Conan did really hurt Xiaolan's feelings.

I trusted you so much that I wasn't afraid even if you were in danger. I was willing to face danger with you, but what about you? What did you do?

Did Moriya Daini complain about Kudo Shinichi's involvement with Ran? No, she was still as worried about Kudo Shinichi as ever.

She is never afraid to face danger with Kudo Shinichi, and she is even willing to stand in front of Kudo Shinichi when encountering danger.

But it was so hurtful that Kudo Shinichi brought the danger home without saying a word and even tried so hard to hide it from her.

Xiaolan is not afraid of danger, but she is afraid that her parents will be in danger because of her.

Even the kind of danger that you are completely defenseless against.

The Teitan gang has been active several times, and Xiaolan has also followed Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji and been exposed to the operations of many detectives.

The most important thing for a qualified detective is to obtain information.

When she and Kudo Shinichi were solving cases, Ran was just the atmosphere person and was completely unaware of the process. She just watched Kudo Shinichi wander around and waited for his deductions to applaud.

The real detective enlightenment should be brought by Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji.

This also made her understand the importance of information - having enough information when encountering danger can help one be prepared and even fight back.

But if there is not enough information, we will be blind.

Isn't what Conan did to actively make the Maori family blind?
If danger really comes one day, they probably won't even notice it. Death may be a breeze.
