Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

However, this weapon is indeed quite difficult to use.

In other words, his control over his power has reached a considerable level, and with extra caution, an ordinary person could easily be hit directly, just like someone using nunchucks.

The problem is that nunchucks might hurt for a moment when they hit you, but once they hit your body, your body will be torn apart by the two kinds of blades.

During the test, a mistake occurred, which directly destroyed and scrapped a perfectly good machine.

Although there was a minor hiccup, he quickly adapted to the weapon. With a little more practice, he can use it and it will surely bring a 'surprise' to many people.

......................................................

"Damn it, where on earth has Kenji Hōyama hidden?!"

Kogoro Mouri, accompanied by Ran and Conan, wandered aimlessly through the streets, his face filled with a helpless expression.

It's not surprising that he was frustrated. After all, anyone would get impatient after searching for a long time without finding any trace of their target.

Especially now, Kogoro Mouri has made a comeback and gained popularity as a newly minted detective.

Xiao Lan, standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Dad, stop complaining. You've complained more than ten times since this morning, but complaining won't do any good."

Kogoro Mouri snorted, "Nonsense," and continued to look around.

This scene made Conan chuckle to himself: "This guy is really something. Kenji Hōyama is a well-known figure in the underworld. People like him are usually cunning and have multiple escape routes. When they're in the limelight, they prepare a way out. Once they're in hiding, finding them again is definitely not an easy task."

Even though I've figured it out, the heaviness in my heart hasn't disappeared at all.

As can be seen from the original work, the time when he first became Conan was the most anxious moment for him. He was thinking all the time about how he could turn back and become Shinichi Kudo again.

However, things didn't go as planned; the complexity of the matter far exceeded his expectations.

"No, we must finish this case as soon as possible, and then focus on finding the whereabouts of those men in black. If I keep investigating trivial cases, when will I ever be able to get back to normal?"

Just then, Ran suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Genta, what are you doing here?"

"Hello, Ran and Uncle Mori!"

Conan's alarm bells rang loudly. Who is it?! They come up and call for Ran right away. Is it your place to call Ran?

When he looked up and saw who it was, his eyelids twitched. It was him? Why was he here?

It suddenly occurred to me that he was also a detective. Right now, both the police and the Yamaguchi family were desperately searching for Kenji Hōyama's whereabouts, so it was only natural that he knew about it...

But a pang of sadness welled up inside me.

I don't know how this guy trained, but now he's tall and strong, with a sense of weight and stillness like a mountain, while I've become a child.

It's true that without comparison, there's no harm done.

Kogoro Mouri smiled and walked up to Genda River as he saw him approaching.

"It's you, kid. What are you doing here? What a coincidence!"

Gendagawa chuckled:

"Actually, it's not a coincidence. I know that Uncle Mori has become very famous recently, and I originally wanted to make a special trip to visit him."

However, after learning about Kenji Hōyama's situation, I knew that Uncle Mori, as a famous detective, would definitely not ignore this matter and would come to catch the criminal. So I simply came here to try my luck. Whether I catch the criminal or run into Uncle Mori or you guys, it won't be a wasted trip."

"Haha, you're so good with words, talking to you always makes me happy."

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but let out his signature loud laugh.

Genda chuckled to himself. He was quite eloquent; Eri Kisaki was very happy when she was with him.

"By the way, who is this little kid? I've never heard Xiaolan mention him before."

Conan's heart tightened. Gendagawa was incredibly perceptive and had exceptional reasoning skills. If he figured out the real 2.5's identity, things would be really bad.

Ran explained with a smile, "His name is Conan. He's Shinichi's relative's child, and he's currently staying with us."

As his gaze fell on the boy, Conan immediately forced a cute and obedient smile. However, the moment he thought that this guy was actually a high school student, the smile immediately became unappealing and even a little creepy.

However, I can take this opportunity to tease this kid.

Smiling, she reached out and patted his head. As expected of a Corgi, it felt great to touch. His head was huge; no wonder he was so smart.

"So he's Kudo-san's relative's child. No wonder he's so cute. And I think he looks quite similar to Kudo-san."

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed him:

"If he took off his glasses, he would look exactly like a miniature version of Kudo."

Chapter 161 The Necessity of Poaching

"boom----"

Conan felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning. Had this guy already discovered his identity?

It's very possible!

This guy has amazing insight, and he's quite familiar with me. He might be able to discover my identity from the slightest clues.

However, he managed to calm himself down, and his little face immediately scrunched up, looking very aggrieved.

"This older brother is so scary, he actually took my glasses!" she said, tears welling up in her eyes, about to burst into tears.

But Genda Gawa was quick to cover his mouth, put his glasses back in an instant, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Conan was momentarily stunned. After a blur, it seemed as if nothing had happened. Had he just imagined it? Or...?

"What an adorable child! But now's not the time to play. Let's hurry and find our target."

Kogoro Mouri nodded. He was now very anxious; he had to fulfill the boast he'd made to the police, even if it meant going through a lot. 12

What truly concerned him was that Kenji Hōyama was a key figure in the Yamaguchi family case. If he could capture him and obtain his confession, he could definitively prove that the Yamaguchi family was involved in the attack on the law firm.

This would form a very complete chain of evidence, and the Yamaguchi family's case could be definitively proven guilty.

This will deal a fatal blow to the Yamaguchi family!

The Yamaguchi family will definitely fight back desperately to eliminate this threat, which would be detrimental to Eri Kisaki. Therefore, he desperately wants to find out who it is.

"How about this? If Uncle Mori brings Conan along, it will definitely slow us down. How about Conan comes with me, and Uncle Mori goes with Ran? That way, we can improve efficiency."

Conan was startled. He wanted him to go with him? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This guy's insight is terrifying. I almost exposed myself just now. He must be suspicious of me. If I'm with him, it will be easy for him to see through me, and that would be terrible!

"No, no, I don't want to be with this big brother! I love Uncle Mori the most! Uncle Mori is a famous detective. Only by being with Uncle Mori can we find the criminals!"

The childish voice, coupled with the pitiful little expression and the adoring gaze, truly gives one a sense of pleasure from being worshipped.

Genda Kawazuki couldn't help but smile inwardly; that was exactly what he was waiting for.

He immediately replied, "Is that so? That makes sense. Being with a famous detective is indeed the best choice. How about this, Ran and I will be in one group, and Conan and Uncle Mori will be in another. Without further ado, let's set off right away!"

Before they could react, he grabbed Xiaolan's hand and headed in one direction, quickly disappearing from sight.

Only two people were left standing there, bewildered in the wind.

"Damn it, he must be doing this on purpose. He's using a feigned retreat to advance, deliberately saying he wants to be with me first, but actually he wants to be with Xiaolan. That bastard, he already has several girls around him, and they're all so pretty, why is he still eyeing Xiaolan?"

The thought that this guy is surrounded by stunning beauties who are the most beautiful girls in school, and now he's even reaching for my only private space, is simply intolerable!

Kogoro, who was standing nearby, also realized what was happening:

"This kid is actually trying to outsmart me. Could it be that he really likes Xiaolan? Well, that's not out of the question."

Conan's eyes turned completely grayish-white!

What do you mean by "not that we can't consider it"? Consider what? Consider letting me know why the grasslands are so green?

He suffered temporary deafness in both ears and was eventually dragged away by Kogoro, looking utterly pathetic with a look of utter despair.

.......................................

Meanwhile, on the other side, Genda River took Ran directly to the food street.

"Swish swish swish—"

In a small fruit shop, Genda River used a fruit knife to gently slice an upside-down half of a watermelon, neatly cutting it into small pieces.

This cutting method allows you to cut the watermelon into neat little pieces, unlike cutting it into crescent shapes, which can make your face mess when you eat it.

But it wasn't over yet. Then, with hands wearing plastic gloves, they took out pieces of fruit flesh, quickly cut them into smaller pieces, and repeated this process several times until all the fruit flesh had been cut into square cubes.

Then I took a small plastic box and used a fruit knife to scoop up the bottom, just like scooping rice with a spatula, quickly putting the fruit pulp into the box. After arranging it neatly, I sprinkled a little salt on each layer, then added another layer, and so on.

The box was filled to the brim, just like neatly arranged candies, which was pleasing to the eye.

Then, he stuck a toothpick into each slice of watermelon flesh and handed it to Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, finally realized that Yuan Dachuan had insisted on buying her a watermelon, but when she said it was inconvenient, he had already cut it himself, and she hadn't even had a chance to refuse.

He was about to wave his hand in refusal when Genda Gawa grabbed his hand and placed the box in his hand.

"Alright, it's already cut up, so just eat it without worry. We can eat as we walk, that way we won't get bored."

Then he started cutting the other half of the watermelon again, leaving the fruit shop owner watching in awe. He thought to himself, "If only I had such knife skills, my business would be much better."

Xiaolan felt a little helpless, but still happy. After all, it's always nice to feel cared for and valued.

However, Genda really loves to feed him. Every time he sees him, he likes to prepare all sorts of delicious food for him, without exception.

As a virtuous and family-oriented young woman, she enjoys cooking, but she doesn't have that habit. If this continues, she's afraid she'll gain weight. No, no, she absolutely can't gain weight. She needs to practice those yoga poses 563 more often.
