Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"I'll go pack your things. Call your mom and ask her to come pick you up."

He sullenly jumped off the sofa and went to make a phone call.

Kogoro Mouri raised his head, looked at Conan, and then at Ran.

He kicked her out before she even got a chance to sit down. Just how badly did this kid offend Xiaolan?

Not long after, Yukiko Kudo, disguised as Fumiyo Edogawa, reappeared.

She patted Conan's head and kept bowing and apologizing.

"Thank you for taking care of Conan. This is just a small token of our appreciation, please don't refuse."

She handed over an envelope; it was thick, and you could tell there was a lot of money inside.

Although everyone knew Conan's true identity, they tacitly refrained from revealing it.

In the past, Ran Mouri would not have accepted this envelope, but now she accepted it without any qualms.

"Where does Aunt Edogawa live now? We'll go visit her another day and see Conan too."

"It's not far from here, but we just got back to Tokyo and our house isn't ready yet. Come visit us when it's all set up, and I'll treat you to a good time..."

After exchanging a few words, Yukiko Kudo picked up her luggage and left with her son.

On her way home, she rubbed Conan's head in an annoyed tone.

"Shin-chan, what's wrong with you? Why is Ran acting like this?"

These past few days, her son hasn't contacted her much, and she's completely unaware of his situation with Xiaolan.

Conan exuded a deep sense of dejection, thinking, "Ran doesn't like me anymore..."

"What!" Yukiko Kudo was shocked. That was the daughter-in-law she had her eye on!

"That's Xiao Lan! What did you do to make her dislike you?!"

Yukiko Kudo felt like the sky was falling.

That's Xiaolan! She's treated her like a daughter all these years! She just hopes that one day her son will marry her.

So what did she hear now?

Conan didn't answer, his shoulders slumped, looking unusually weak.

The mother and son arrived at the Kudo residence, looking dejected. However, Yukiko Kudo did not go to her own house but instead went into the villa across the street.

A middle-aged man, whom we didn't recognize, came out of the villa and naturally came to greet us.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing the voice, Conan instantly recognized it as his father's.

Yukiko Kudo slumped her shoulders. "Our son got dumped, sigh..."

Kudo Yusaku said with some helplessness, "It's normal for Ran to be angry that we lied to her. We really can't live in her house anymore, it would be dangerous for them."

As for whether Shinichi can get Ran to forgive him, his parents can't worry about that much.

He took the luggage from Yukiko's hands and said as he walked into the house:

"Ran won't reveal Shinichi's identity. Shinichi and Conan's identities naturally won't attract the organization's attention. We need to avoid bringing any more danger to them..."

What are your plans for the future?

Inside the room, Shuichi Akai, dressed as Subaru Okiya, asked a question.

Yusaku Kudo had already made plans.

"The Black Organization's attention will likely remain on Shinichi for some time, trying to investigate whether he is truly dead or not. It's not appropriate for Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo to show themselves. We've returned quietly this time, and from now on, we'll appear as Edogawa."

“Mr. Akai, you should stay at my place. That way we can look after each other.”

"As for my identity, I've already asked a friend to help me with that."

Are your friends trustworthy?

"Absolutely credible."

"That's fine."

Yusaku Kudo adjusted his glasses.

"From now on, I will be called Edogawa Michiya."

Chapter 152 Shinichi Kudo is Gin's secret crush

Aozawa received a phone call from Rum the day after he returned to Tokyo.

The voice, altered by a voice changer, came through the phone, but it was impossible to discern any emotion.

"Shinichi Kudo has appeared?"

"Your intelligence network is pretty useless, you only found out now." Qingze mocked mercilessly.

He had already told Gin about this, but Rum only found out now. It seems Gin is deliberately keeping an eye on him.

"It wasn't the real Shinichi Kudo, it was someone from Team Zero in disguise, codenamed 'Tengu,' who set a trap to lure Gin into it..."

"Why are you getting involved in the scheme that Gin set up?" Rum found this very unusual.

He received information from his informant that Gin had clashed with the police in Kyoto, and that many police cars had been deployed.

He asked Gin to confirm and found out that it wasn't Gin, but Koniak.

But wading into such muddy waters is not in Koniak's nature at all.

"I like him, so why can't I step on the minefield for him?"

Qingze's tone was nonchalant and frivolous, which immediately silenced Rum.

"...Does Gin know about all this you're doing to him?"

Your own reputation is worthless, but Gin at least has a reputation to maintain.

"I know, and I'd love to." Qingze said jokingly.

I'd be happy if he went and cleared the minefield for me.

Rum pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.

Talking to that damned Koniak is exhausting.

Why would the people in Team Zero impersonate Shinichi Kudo?

"You should ask someone from Group Zero, not me."

Rum was speechless.

If he could find someone from Group Zero, why would he be asking here?

What is the connection between Shinichi Kudo and Gin?

What Rum was concerned about was why Shinichi Kudo's appearance could attract Gin.

His intuition told him that this was crucial.

Since Koniak helped Gin wad through the minefield, he must have known about it.

"Shinichi Kudo is Gin's crush."

Hearing this utter nonsense, a vein bulged on Rum's forehead.

He ground his back teeth. "What does his crush have to do with you?"

"I'm going to kill my love rival."

Rum tried to hold back, taking deep breaths repeatedly, but ultimately couldn't tolerate the guy's shameless behavior, so he slammed down the phone.

Every time I call that damn guy, he gets so angry!

Suppressing his anger, he took out his phone and sent an email to Bourbon.

[Investigate Shinichi Kudo, and Rum, the "Tengu" of Team Zero.]

After sending the email, he lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Shinichi Kudo has been missing for quite some time now. Could he have died at Gin's hands?

The sudden appearance of someone who was supposed to be dead caught Gin's attention.

That should be correct.

But how did Team Zero know that Gin killed Shinichi Kudo?

Are there people from Group Zero in the organization?

It seems we need to get Curaçao to find a way to infiltrate the public security system and investigate those people.

Upon receiving Rum's email, Amuro Tooru's expression suddenly turned serious.

Why was he suddenly asked to investigate Shinichi Kudo?

And... Zero-Group Tengu?

Where does Group Zero have this code name?

Another strange thing is that Conan actually moved out of the Mouri Detective Agency?

It seems we need to ask the person involved directly.

Conan is still easy to find. Although he's no longer at the Mouri Detective Agency, he can randomly appear at Professor Agasa's house and Teitan Elementary School.

He didn't even need Amuro to leave the coffee shop; he refreshed the page himself.

He sat in a chair by the window in the coffee shop, looking out the window, waiting for Xiaolan to come home from school.

Being kicked out of the agency, this is the only way he can see Ran.

He felt like he was a bit of a pervert, like a dark voyeur, yet he couldn't help wanting to see Xiaolan.

The coffee shop was not crowded at the time and was not busy.

Amuro Tooru brought over a glass of hot milk and sat down opposite him. "Conan, did you move out of the agency?"

"Yes, my mom and dad are back, so I won't be staying at my uncle's house anymore."

He spoke, displaying the demeanor of a primary school student.

Although Amuro Tooru had some doubts about his identity, he would never reveal it unless there was evidence.

"Hey? Are your mom and dad back?"

Amuro Tooru looked surprised.

"Where do you live now? I haven't met your parents yet. I'll visit them another day..."

Conan gave an address.

Amuro Tooru smiled and wrote it down, then suddenly asked:

"By the way, have you ever heard of the [Tengu]?"

Conan froze.

"Tiangou" was a code name he made up.

Given the circumstances, using the Zero Group identity was the best option.

Zero Group is a secret organization of the Public Security Bureau, and its members are naturally also secret. They have the authority to mobilize police officers from the Warning Department.

To prevent Gin from suspecting the origins of the pursuing police officers.

The Zero Group, a secret organization that has existed for many years to protect national security, would naturally be unaware of the Black Organization that exists in Japan.

Their targeting of the organization and Gin is understandable.

Therefore, being a member of Team Zero is the most reasonable and least likely to arouse Gin's suspicion.

As for what impact this will have on Mr. Amuro...

The Black Organization will likely conduct internal reviews and monitor all its members to some extent.

But since Amuro Tooru was an undercover agent, he must have been investigated many times, and he would have been aware of being monitored.

This matter had nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't be suspected.
