The boy soldier next to the famous detective

With Ran Mouri's constant probing and Jonah's assistance, Conan Edogawa's escape route was quickly pinpointed.

It was almost certain that Conan Edogawa was in the phone booth across the street. Jonah smiled slightly, slowed his pace, and distanced himself from Ran Mouri, pretending to have gotten separated from her. He then gave the space and time to Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa.

"Ah, Doctor, you're here."

Jonah walked up to Professor Agasa, who was hiding at a street corner and anxiously observing the situation. Feeling somewhat relieved, Jonah patted Professor Agasa's arm and whispered something.

"Jonah, what do we do? Shinichi's cornered! You have to think of something!"

Looking anxiously at the phone booth in the distance, Professor Agasa really didn't know what to do. Should he suddenly go out and stop Ran Mouri to distract her?

Seeing Ran Mouri's sullen expression, Dr. Agasa's lips twitched slightly, hesitant.

"It's alright, Professor. We should trust Conan. He'll definitely find a way to solve this."

While making light of the matter, Jonah even took out the video camera he had prepared to take some landscape photos of Ai Haibara from his backpack and pointed the lens at a phone booth not far away.

Although we don't know how things will develop next, Jonah is sure to be very interesting!

Interesting scenes should be recorded, so that they can become useful leverage someday.

This is what Ai Haibara taught Jonah, and Jonah remembers it very clearly and is happy to put it into practice.

Amid Jonah's anticipation, Professor Agasa's nervousness, and Ran Mouri's worry, the tightly closed phone booth door was slowly pushed open, and Shinichi Kudo walked out with an embarrassed smile, looking at Ran Mouri with apologetic eyes.

"Ah! Shinichi took the antidote for the return journey!"

Shocked to see Shinichi Kudo appear, Professor Agasa immediately realized what Conan Edogawa had done.

Unlike the shocked Professor Agasa, Jonah looked at Conan Edogawa, who had taken the antidote not far away, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

But this sense of regret only lasted for a brief moment.

After hearing Ran Mouri cry out in distress, "Aren't you a detective? Then you try to deduce my feelings!" and run away crying, Jonah and Professor Agasa exchanged a glance and started chasing after her together.

Then, Jonah and Professor Agasa saw a scene that made them feel that no matter what happened on this trip to London, it would have been worth it.

On the bridge over the Thames, Shinichi Kudo caught up with Ran Mouri and reached out to grab her arm.

As Ran Mouri angrily tried to break free, Shin Kudo, who had also lost his composure due to Ran's tears, stared intently into her eyes and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"You're really troublesome for me!"

Upon hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then gave up struggling and looked at Shinichi Kudo in front of her with a puzzled expression. At that moment, Shinichi Kudo seemed to have given up everything else, with only Ran Mouri in his eyes.

"I mean, it's a very tricky unsolved case! Because there are too many emotional factors involved, even if the real Sherlock Holmes came, he wouldn't be able to solve it!"

"It's really hard to accurately deduce...what the girl you like is thinking!"

"Huh? Ah!"

Wow!

Regardless of the situation between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, Professor Agasa and Jonah, who were hiding in the distance, both exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

"Doctor, is this considered a confession? Did Shinichi confess to Ran?"

Turning to look at Professor Agasa, Jonah was somewhat uncertain, but he strongly suspected that what was happening before his eyes was the same scene that Shinichi Kudo was unable to confess to Ran Mouri back in the revolving restaurant in Tokyo because the effects of the drug had worn off!

"This should be considered a good confession! After all, Shinichi has already said he likes her!"

Professor Agasa took off his glasses and wiped them, feeling somewhat moved. He was truly an elder who had watched Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri grow up, and he had always known that the two liked each other, but for various reasons, they had never confessed their feelings to each other.

Seeing this happen with his own eyes, Dr. Agasa is truly moved!

"That's really impressive. Shinichi, that brat, actually managed to do this. Yusaku and Yukiko should see it for themselves."

"It's okay, I've recorded it here, they can see it."

"You recorded it? That's good. Having a recording is... um? Jonah, when did you start recording?"

Shocked, Dr. Agasa turned his head and stared wide-eyed at the video camera that Jonah was still holding.

"From the moment Shinichi pushed open the phone booth door until he confessed his feelings just now, and now the two of them are so shy that neither of them is saying a word, and neither of them wants to leave."

Jonah glanced at Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, who were standing not far away. They had clearly realized what had just happened and were extremely embarrassed. They wanted to find a place to hide but couldn't bear to separate, so they kept their heads down and didn't look at each other, but were still standing next to each other. Jonah suddenly understood why Ran Mouri liked to watch those romantic idol dramas at home.

This kind of atmosphere, which would make others feel bittersweet, is especially interesting when it happens to people you know.

"Jonah, that habit of yours... is really quite good."

Looking at the video recorder in Jonah's hand, and thinking about how Conan Edogawa would go to great lengths to get his hands on the recording if he found out, Professor Agasa narrowed his eyes and chuckled as he spoke.

"Jonah, when we get back, I'll back up this recording for you. Make several backups, so Shinichi won't steal and destroy it!"

"It would be so much fun to play this video at Shinichi and Ran's wedding celebration!"

"Um!"

The old man and the young man looked at each other, and after confirming the mischievous glint in each other's eyes, they both laughed happily.

You, Conan Edogawa, have caused us so much trouble. What's wrong with us watching your antics?

"But Shinichi took his medicine for the return trip. How will he get back to Japan?"

After the joke ended, Professor Agasa couldn't help but worry about the return journey.

"Ai-chan also can't fly abroad, so we can't have her send the medicine over."

"It's alright, I still have the antidote."

"Huh? Jonah, how come you have an antidote?"

"Before leaving, Haibara told me that Conan would definitely take the antidote for the return trip ahead of time because of Ran, so she secretly gave me one so I could use it on Conan in an emergency."

"As expected of Ai, she's really thoughtful."

"Yes, but Ai Haibara also said that she wouldn't tell Conan about this until the very last moment, to make him anxious."

"Yes, he should definitely be worried."
