Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 117 Conan's identity exposed?

"Miss Sonoko, are you alright?"

Just as Huijie and Ai were getting close, the rooftop door was suddenly opened, and several people in uniform rushed onto the rooftop.

"Tsk!" Huijie looked at the group of people who had just arrived with dissatisfaction.

Ai glanced at the somewhat unhappy Keisuke beside her, chuckled, and stepped forward to wake Sonoko and the others.

"Ah! Has Lord Kid already left?" Sonoko and the others were somewhat disappointed after following the staff downstairs.

Then, he took out Kid's autograph from before and immediately became happy again, turning around with the autograph and saying, "Great! I have to tell A-Zhen this good news right away!"

Looking at Sonoko's excited face, Keisuke's lips twitched. "Are you trying to watch Kid get beaten to death?"
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ran's forehead. If Kyogoku Makoto had been here, he probably would have crippled Kid the moment the smoke appeared!
She quickly comforted him, "Sonoko, you also told Kyogoku about Kaito Kid's autograph. Aren't you afraid he'll be jealous?"

Hearing Ran's words, Sonoko tossed her hair smugly and said, "Hmph, Ran, you don't understand. I want to make Makoto jealous and tell him that he's not the only one pursuing me, Sonoko-sama. That way, he'll feel a sense of crisis and cherish me even more."

After saying that, he pointed at Ran and said, "You're only interested in that guy Kudo, that's why he can easily manipulate you!"

"Ahem!" Huijie coughed twice, reminding Sonoko, who seemed to have a wealth of dating experience and considered herself an expert, that there was a real couple present!
Reminded by Teruyuki, Sonoko glanced at Kazuha, who seemed lost in thought, and Ai, whose expression remained unreadable, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Of course, this idea came about because Makoto is never around. People like you who are with your boyfriends shouldn't try this."

Upon hearing Sonoko's addition, Kazuha, whose face was already flushed, closed her eyes and frantically waved her arms, explaining, "What boyfriend? We're just good friends!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Sonoko approached Kazuha with a grin and whispered, "To be honest, I feel like Hattori is actually quite my type. Since you don't like him..."

Upon hearing Sonoko's words, Kazuha became visibly anxious and immediately shouted, "No, you can't!"

"Oh? Why would I? You're just friends, aren't you?" Sonoko asked knowingly, her expression making for a hilarious meme.

Ran glanced helplessly at Sonoko, who was secretly laughing, and said to the anxious Kazuha, "Kazuha, you've misunderstood. Sonoko's 'like' type just means that Kyogoku and Hattori have some similarities!"

Upon hearing Ran's explanation, Kazuha's previous emotions vanished instantly, replaced by beady eyes as she looked at Sonoko, bewildered.

Watching the farce unfolding on Sonoko's side, Teruyuki slowly approached Ai, quietly took her hand, and gave her a heartwarming smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Ai looked at Keisuke with a slight smile, glanced at him, and said with a proud smirk:

"However... I think that even if you're together normally, it's okay to give a little sense of urgency to a troublesome guy who you have to take care of all the time."

"Really? How can there be guys like that!" Huijie looked incredulous, then went behind Ai and wrapped his arms around her waist, whispering in her ear, "This is nothing like us. In our close relationship, there would be no trouble, just some fun little things!"

“That makes sense!” Ai was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and looked at Keisuke.

In her eyes, the most important relationship between her and Huijie was not that of lovers. Even without that relationship, they were "kindred spirits" who could confide in each other.

What was said unintentionally was taken seriously by others. Ai was just teasing Keisuke, but to everyone else, it meant something else entirely.

A troublesome guy who always requires a lot of care...

Ran and Kazuha each imagined a detective busily working while they assisted him. Although the figures in their minds were different, the content was the same.

"Shinichi, he..."

"Hattori..."

The two spoke up at the same time, seemingly intending to offer an explanation, but upon hearing each other's voices, they both paused.

Sonoko watched this scene with some amazement, and while preparing to watch the drama unfold, she couldn't help but give Ai a thumbs up.

……

Just as Huijie and the others were about to watch the drama unfold, Conan, who had almost brushed past the truck on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the distance. Conan's mind went blank as he watched Kid fall from the sky.

Without a second thought, Hattori Heiji ignored the truck driver who had stopped to ask about their situation and immediately rushed towards the direction where Kid had fallen.

The words Ai had just said to him not long ago flashed through his mind.

"Kidd doesn't deserve to die!"

With Heiji Hattori speeding, the two finally arrived at the spot where Kid had crashed. However, all that remained around them, besides the "Egg of Memory" lying on the ground, was a pigeon and Kid's broken monocle.

Heiji Hattori checked the surroundings but found no other traces. Conan picked up the "Egg of Memories" from the ground and found that the box was well-preserved and the egg appeared undamaged. He breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his attention to the injured pigeon on the ground.

"These must be the pigeons that Huijie and the others were talking about!" Conan stared at the pigeons in front of him, looking somewhat dazed, and murmured to himself, "They were right after all. Am I really the Grim Reaper?"

"Kudo? Kudo?" Heiji Hattori shook the dazed Conan vigorously, asking with a mixture of worry and doubt, "Are you alright? Judging from your expression, do you know something about Kid's attack?"

Conan asked, bewildered, "Hattori, do you believe in metaphysics?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Kudo?" Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, who seemed off, and said in a low voice, "I think you're overthinking things. You should go and get some rest!"

Then Hattori Heiji took out his phone, told the police about the situation, and then, holding his head, said:

"In my opinion, there is no such thing as metaphysics. Even something as incredible as you turning into a child can be explained by science, let alone other things?"

While Heiji Hattori was comforting Conan, Kid overheard everything and whispered:

"Kudo? Turned into a child? Really? I've stumbled upon some incredible news!"

Despite the pain, Kidd was clinging to a pillar under the bridge, watching the fish swimming around in the water with some fear.
