Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"We've already eaten. Let's go home."

Amuro Tooru stood up at the opportune moment, "I'll go with the teacher."

"Then I'll take my leave too."

Sera Masumi also took her leave, leaving only the Kudo family and Okiya Subaru in the house.

Yukiko Kudo relaxed, but didn't remove the disguise from her face.

"What exactly does Gin want by targeting Ran?" she wondered, completely baffled.

Conan said in a deep voice, "He may suspect Ran's relationship with Vermouth."

In Kyoto, he didn't kill Ran. This time, he only chased after her, didn't use a gun, and even held back.

It's likely that Vermouth paid some price to prevent Gin from harming Ran, but at the same time, Vermouth's protective behavior also piqued Gin's curiosity.

That's why I made this appearance.

There was another, far-fetched guess that he dared not even think about.

Subaru Okiya agreed with Conan's reasoning, "With Vermouth protecting her, she shouldn't be in any danger to her life, at most she'll just be a little frightened."

Compared to injury or death, this is a negligible price to pay.

"As for the relationship between Ran Mouri and Vermouth, Gin can't find out."

Only four people know the truth: him, Ran Mouri, Shinichi Kudo, and Vermouth herself.

Unless Vermouth herself tells you, Gin will never be able to find out.

Conan nodded.

The more nervous they are about Ran, the more likely they are to make mistakes. With Vermouth as guarantor, Gin will not get the result he wants and will soon give up on his own.

But for Xiaolan's safety, he needs to keep a close eye on her.

He then mentioned another event that happened this afternoon.

"In the afternoon, Mr. Amuro told me that Rum wanted him to investigate Shinichi Kudo and the Tengu."

"Rum?" Yusaku Kudo repeated the code name.

This is a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane, and it is also a strong liquor.

He looked at Subaru Okiya, "Does Mr. Subaru know anything about this Rum?"

Subaru Okiya shook his head. "I only know that Rum has a very high status, but I don't know anything else."

Although he had infiltrated the organization, the intelligence he obtained was still limited.

He had only heard of this person's existence, despite knowing many of his code names.

Subaru Okiya slightly opened his eyes and looked at Conan:

"Now, Rum has noticed Shinichi Kudo and whether he can stop paying attention to Shinichi Kudo depends entirely on how Bourbon writes his report."

Before this, he had only guessed about Conan's identity, and he tacitly kept quiet about it.

But this speculation was confirmed when he was seen to have turned into a child.

Now, there's no need to deliberately hide it anymore.

If the organization finds out that my body has shrunk, things will get very serious.

And Sulli.

If Sherry were to learn that Shinichi Kudo hadn't died and had shrunk, she would inevitably be in danger again, given that she had already died on the organization's side.

Bourbon's report is crucial.

Kudo Yusaku interlaced his fingers, and a beam of white light reflected from his glasses.

"It seems I need to have a talk with Mr. Jiang Gu."

……

As Aozawa walked home, Amuro subtly inquired about Gin.

"Miss Lan, you called that man Gin, is he the man who's been pursuing you?"

“I saw him in Kyoto a few days ago. His name was told to me by an FBI agent.”

Amuro Tooru's gaze suddenly sharpened. "FBI? Which FBI?"

A few days ago, in Kyoto?

Could it be related to Shinichi Kudo, whom Rum asked him to investigate?

The FBI and Gin have both shown up, and Ran Mouri is involved... What exactly happened in Kyoto?

It's necessary to have Kazami investigate.

Beside him, Kogoro Mouri's gaze fell on Tooru Amuro, his expression unreadable in the dim light.

Qingze dutifully plays the role of Ran Mouri, keeping her mouth shut.

"I'm sorry, I can't say."

Seeing that Ran Mouri was not going to talk, Tooru Amuro gave up on his plan to get information from Ran Mouri and decided to investigate on his own.

He still has Rum's mission to complete, which is enough to make "Shinichi Kudo" talk to him.

"This Gin will probably come again, Miss Lan should be extra careful these days."

"Ah."

Chapter 161 She couldn't face Mr. Qingze anymore.

Back home, Kogoro Mouri, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

He sat on the tatami mat in the living room, looking at his daughter with a serious expression.

"What else happened to you in Kyoto? How did you run into Gin? And the FBI?"

They were both in Kyoto, and they hadn't seen each other for just one day. How could he have no idea about the FBI or Gin?

Faced with Kogoro Mouri's question, Aozawa's mind raced.

Ran Mouri definitely didn't tell Kogoro Mouri about this. Telling Kogoro about it would only make him worry. Besides, Ran Mouri got involved herself, so it's even less likely that she told Kogoro.

"It's nothing," Qingze said innocently, as if nothing had happened.

"You're not going to tell me, are you? Then I'll go ask your teacher."

Kogoro Mouri pretended to take out his phone to call Ran Mouri's homeroom teacher. As her homeroom teacher, he would definitely know something if Ran encountered any problems.

He didn't receive any news, which must mean that Xiaolan stopped the homeroom teacher from telling his parents about it.

Qingze had a headache.

Why did he have to clean up Ran Mouri's mess of dealing with her parents?

Damn Gin!

"Don't ask the teacher!" The girl pretended to snatch the phone.

Under Kogoro Mouri's stern gaze, the girl withdrew her hand, obediently sat back down, and lowered her eyes.

"Something did happen, but I just didn't want Dad to worry..."

"We first met Gin in the elevator. He was standing alone in the elevator, staring at Shinichi. Then, one night I went to a convenience store and was suddenly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was on a mountain road, already rescued..."

"I don't really know what happened. I was suddenly knocked unconscious, and then I was rescued in a daze..."

Ran Mouri was completely innocent and knew nothing about it; in the end, nothing happened to her.

"You've taken someone hostage, and this is a minor matter?"

Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist on the table, furious.

Although Xiaolan described it simply, the process was certainly not that simple.

Being knocked unconscious, taken hostage, or held hostage—none of these are minor incidents.

"You actually kept that kid in the dark and didn't tell me!"

Kogoro Mouri was so angry that he wanted to rush to the Kudo family and beat that kid to death!

Xiaolan suffered this misfortune entirely because of him!

Aoze wasn't guilty at all. He hadn't hurt Ran Mouri; it was all Shinichi Kudo's fault, and it had nothing to do with him.

He was also injured.

Kogoro Mouri angrily lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Stay away from that kid from now on!"

Suddenly shrinking is no small matter; this kid must have offended some powerful force.

Their family is of little influence, and even if they have a good relationship with the police, it doesn't carry much weight.

It's best to avoid such dangerous situations if possible.

Aoze, dressed in a Mouri Ran skin, nodded obediently.

"Don't go out alone lately. You can skip your acting class for now. I'll pick you up from school."

After washing up and returning to his bedroom, Qingze took out his phone and sent a message to Gin.

【What do you mean?】

Gin lit a cigarette, sat in his Porsche, and looked at the message from Koniak with a mocking smile on his face.

It's only been a short time, less than an hour, right?

Koniak found out then?

[Didn't you dislike it? Now I know, you're quite protective of it.]

Looking at the words, Qingze could feel the mockery and sarcasm coming from Gin.

Qingze narrowed his eyes. [What exactly do you want to do?]

This person wouldn't be so bored as to do something meaningless.

Let's see who this person is that can drive both you and Vermouth mad.

Did you figure it out?

[You're quite skilled; a rare talent. Here's a piece of advice: either kill him, or drag him into the darkness; otherwise, you'll only bring about your own destruction.]

Qingze's expression suddenly darkened.

That Gin, he's a real bastard.

They had only exchanged a few moves when they were still targeted.

I've already spoken to the boss about your obsession with a woman. I advise you to think twice before you act.

After sending the message, Gin promptly blocked the person.

As the messages on his phone gradually disappeared, Qingze's expression became terrifyingly gloomy.

It's a done deal that Ran Mouri has come into the organization's sights.

We can only deal with whatever comes our way.

……

Ran Mouri was completely unaware that Aozawa had attracted Gin's attention, nor did she know that she had come into the sights of the organization's boss.

She lay in bed, thinking about the movie Qingze had mentioned.

What kind of movies are adult films? Why do watching them supposedly toughen up your skin?

Curiosity is irresistible.

She also felt that she was a bit too thin-skinned and blushed easily, so she really needed to work on that.

She picked up her phone and started searching. A minute after the search results appeared, her face turned bright red, and she slammed her phone face down on the bed.

OMG!

How could he so seriously tell her to watch these kinds of movies to toughen up her skin?!
