Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Now that you've survived, what will you do next?

"Take good care of your injuries. In a while, I'll send you to South Korea for plastic surgery, then get you a fake identity. After that, it will be a completely new life."

Curaçao lowered her hand and looked up at him.

The person in front of me had half their face backlit, and there was no particular expression on their face, as if they had done something very ordinary.

However, this seemingly ordinary event changed her life once again.

Her childhood face overlapped with her current adult face as she stared intently at the radiant figure before her, as if gazing up at a deity.

Gods should have believers.

She was willing to be that fanatic.

……

Conan went to school as usual today.

Despite experiencing a massive explosion last night and witnessing Rena Mizunashi's death.

But he still chose to go to school today.

Although school life was boring, at least he had something to do, which prevented him from constantly reliving the scene of Rena Mizunashi's leap.

The thought of not being able to save Rena Mizunashi was like a needle pricking his heart; the mere thought of it brought back a sharp, persistent pain.

In the classroom, Ai Haibara, who was sitting next to me, asked in a low voice:

What exactly happened last night?

The explosion and collapse of the Ferris wheel at the Ocean Park made headlines; it was impossible to miss it.

Her intuition told her that Conan Edogawa definitely knew what had happened and was involved in it.

"Kir is dead," Conan said somberly.

Ai Haibara's pupils dilated slightly.

Has Kiel been exposed?

She wanted to ask more, but Conan had no interest in saying anything more.

He has already informed Shuichi Akai of the message that Ms. Mizunashi conveyed before her death.

As for that remark to Hondo Eisuke...

Hondo Eisuke went to America, and he didn't have Hondo Eisuke's contact information, nor did he know where he was now.

Even if we could contact him through some means, he wouldn't know whether telling him about his sister's death would be a good thing or a bad thing.

If he gets carried away and rushes from the United States to Japan, wanting to take revenge without regard for anything else, that would be extremely dangerous.

The more the Black Organization demonstrates its power—the more it can use armed helicopters like the Osprey over Tokyo—the more terrifying it becomes.

Going forward, we must be more cautious in our actions against this organization; they can no longer afford any more casualties.

……

While Amuro Tooru was on leave for several days, a new part-time employee arrived at Poirot Cafe.

The shop assistant was a woman, taller than average. She had short hair and thick bangs that covered her forehead, but her deep and sculpted features were still visible.

There weren't many customers in the shop at this time.

"Is Ms. Yada of mixed race?"

"Mmm." Yada Risa, who was addressed as such, nodded gently, her voice soft.

“I grew up abroad and only recently came to Japan.”

Risa Yada brushed the hair behind her ear, revealing her ear with an earring.

槺捐餮鐾房此⒊沁刑荆�

"Ms. Yada is so tall, she's half a head taller than me."

"My parents are both very tall, which is a bit of a problem for me. It seems like tall girls aren't really popular in Japan..."

"Yes, to some extent. They feel intimidated by tall girls."

After getting familiar with the store's environment and chatting for a bit, Risa Yada asked about another employee.

"When I came for the interview, the store manager said there was another employee in the store. Was he on leave?"

"Yes, Mr. Amuro took a few days off, but he'll be back at work this afternoon. He's especially good at making sandwiches and desserts..."

"That's great! I'm only good at making coffee, and I'm a little worried about what I'll do if I don't know how to make desserts. When I meet them, I'll definitely learn from them and ask for their guidance."

"Mr. Amuro has a very good personality. If you want to learn, he will definitely teach you seriously."

"Hmm. Does Mr. Amuro take leave frequently?"

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it." (The rest of the text appears to be a fragment and doesn't form a coherent sentence.)

"Mr. Amuro is also a private investigator. It was because I was too busy when he was on leave that the boss hired another person."

"Wow, a detective also works part-time as a coffee shop employee?" Risa Yada was extremely surprised.

"Well, Mr. Amuro said that he doesn't usually get many commissions, so he has to work part-time to make a living. He has also become Mr. Mori's apprentice, so it shouldn't be long before he becomes quite famous."

"Is the Mr. Mori you're talking about the sleeping detective, Kogoro Mori?"

"Yes, the Mori Architects office is right upstairs from us, and our shop is rented from them..."

Chapter 219 You two aren't related, are you?

After much pleading and cajoling from Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri finally agreed to cosplay as Sailor Moon.

The three girls walked out of the school gate together, and Suzuki Sonoko was still rambling on about it.

"Ran, you'll play Hino Rei, and Sera will play Mizuno Ami..."

"Eh? Me too?" Sera Masumi was a little embarrassed.

"Of course! Sera, you're so handsome, you'll definitely be a beauty with makeup on!"

Sonoko Suzuki tossed a strand of hair behind her ear, her short, brown hair dancing in the sunlight, exuding pride and confidence.

"As for me, of course I'll play the female lead!"

"Will Kyogoku-kun come then?" Ran Mouri asked.

"Of course I'm coming! This is my first time cosplaying Sailor Moon, I guarantee I'll seduce him!"

"You guys are talking about Kyogoku-kun, right? He's Sonoko's boyfriend, isn't he? I've never met him before..." Sera Masumi was extremely curious.

"You'll see it then!"

"I haven't seen Conan in a while, and I'm missing him. I'm planning to visit him when I pass by his house. Do you want to come along?" Ran Mouri invited the two of them.

She didn't want Shinichi to misunderstand that she still liked him, so it was best to bring two friends along.

Qingze suddenly brought up Conan today, so he probably witnessed something again. Maybe Conan was there when the Ferris wheel exploded.

“Okay!” Sera Masumi was the first to agree.

Sonoko didn't care; if Ran wanted to go, she would go with her.

Elementary school lets out much earlier than high school, so Ran Mouri sent Conan a text message beforehand to avoid him going to school empty-handed.

Knowing that Ran was coming to see him, Conan's gloomy mood instantly brightened.

The last time he saw Xiaolan was at the Ocean Park, where he was forced to act as a stalker and could only spy on her from the shadows.

Now that Xiaolan has taken the initiative to come see him, how can one not be overjoyed?

"Sister Ran, I'm at Professor Agasa's house," he said into the phone.

"Yes, Sonoko and Sera came along too."

After hanging up the phone, Conan felt a little pleased.

"Is Sera coming too?" Haibara frowned.

"Don't you like her?" Conan looked at him with surprise.

Haibara shook her head, "I'm just not used to that kind of enthusiasm..."

Sera Masumi was quite outgoing; even though she seemed indifferent, she would still come over and pat her head, showing no sense of boundaries.

"I think you look a bit like her, Haibara."

"How is that possible!"

"If you don't believe me, you can take a good look at her face when she arrives and compare the two."

The high school trio stood at the door, and Sera Masumi sighed:

"Is this Professor Agasa's house? This is my first time here."

"Professor Agasa is a very amazing scientist. He invents all sorts of interesting things. Shinichi and I used to come here to play a lot when we were kids."

As Ran Mouri spoke, she rang the doorbell.

The chubby Professor Agasa opened the door and looked at them with a smile.

"Xiao Lan, it's been a long time."

"I apologize for disturbing you by coming here so abruptly."

"No, no, I quite like lively atmospheres."

As soon as he entered the house, Conan ran over and looked at Ran with unusually bright eyes.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

Ran Mouri bent down slightly and ruffled his hair. "Why are you living at Professor Agasa's house?"

"My parents are away on a business trip and won't be back for a few days."

"Are Uncle and Auntie so busy...?"

Upon entering the living room, Ai Haibara brought over tea and snacks.

Sera Masumi immediately moved closer to Ai Haibara and affectionately ruffled her hair.

"It's Ai again. I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity whenever I see you."

Haibara lowered her half-moon eyes, put down the tea and snacks in her hand, and coldly slapped her hand away.

This person has absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Sera Masumi, completely unfazed by Ai Haibara's indifference, sat down with a smile and began to eat tea and snacks.

Ran Mouri glanced at Sera Masumi, then at Ai Haibara, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Sera, you look a lot like Ai!"

"Huh?" Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.

Hearing Ran say that, Sonoko also came over and carefully observed the two of them.

"Indeed, although their eyes are very different, their noses and profiles are very similar."

Sera Masumi took out a mirror, looked at her own face, and then looked at Ai Haibara.

They hadn't noticed until they mentioned it, but looking at it now, it does indeed look somewhat similar.

Ai Haibara lowered her eyes and turned away to avoid their gaze.

She didn't like being stared at like that.

"You two aren't related, are you?" Sonoko rested her chin on her hand, her imagination running wild.

"That's impossible. My mother is British, and I lived in England for a long time. Ai looks Japanese. How could we possibly be related?"

Ai Haibara suddenly looked up at her.

Her mother was also British.

"Speaking of which, I've never even known who Ai's parents are," Ran Mouri said curiously, looking at Professor Agasa.

Dr. Agasa already had a solution to this problem.

"Ai's parents have passed away and she has no relatives at the moment, which is why I adopted her."
