Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"It's cold at night, let's go inside the tent."

Sonoko was quite pleased with her boyfriend's jacket, and she happily took Kyogoku Makoto's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"It's not cold at all. Ah Zhen feels especially warm."

A slight blush appeared on Kyogoku Makoto's face as he turned to the side, using his body to shield her from the wind.

Sonoko noticed, and enjoying the care from her boyfriend, she sweetly took out her phone, turned on the front camera, and took a photo with Makoto Kyogoku.

Despite the dim lighting, the photo still reveals a smiling young woman and a slightly shy person beside her.

After slightly editing the photo and adding two hearts, she pointed the camera at the two people stargazing and took a picture of their backs.

I added the photos I took during the day to make a nine-grid collage and posted it on Line.

Seize the last days of autumn with the one you love.

Add a caption, send it—all in one smooth motion.

Makoto Kyogoku watched her type. The rugged man's eyes softened, and he reached out a hand to put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Such close contact was rare. Sonoko froze for a moment, but quickly adapted and rubbed against his chest.

"Ah Zhen's arms are so warm!"

Kyogoku Makoto's face turned even redder.

Aozawa spotted them while taking photos at Sonoko Suzuki's place, turned around, and witnessed the young couple's interaction:

(￢_￢)

"Don't their parents have any objections to them dating?"

Shouldn't high school students who are dating hide it from teachers and parents?

Oh, this is Japan. Never mind then.

“Kyogoku-kun has already met Sonoko’s parents and has received their approval.”

Ran Mouri smiled broadly, her eyes filled with satisfaction at her friend's sweet romance.

"The Suzuki Group has approved of him?" Aozawa wondered.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the love and marriage of children from wealthy families involve various exchanges of benefits?

Kyogoku Makoto is just from an ordinary family, right?

"Yes. Aunt Tomoko made a bet with Kyogoku-kun that if he could protect the Suzuki family's jewels from being stolen by Kaito Kid, she would allow them to be together. Kyogoku-kun tried very hard back then..."

Ran Mouri then recounted the situation in a more conciliatory manner.

"Even though Kaito Kid was disguised as Sonoko, Kyogoku-kun recognized him at a glance."

Thinking about it, Ran Mouri turned her head to look at Aozawa and asked with some curiosity:

"If Phantom Thief Kid were to impersonate me, Mr. Aozawa, would you be able to recognize him?"

“You can let him give it a try. I’m also very curious to see how realistic his performance is.”

Qingze remembered the phantom thief Kid he had met that day.

He has only met Kaito Kid once so far, and he doesn't recognize the character Hakuba Saguru who plays him.

However, it must be said that Phantom Thief Kid's disguise skills are indeed very impressive; it is difficult to recognize him by his appearance alone.

"I thought Mr. Qingze would say he could recognize me right away."

"Has Kaito Kid impersonated you many times?"

"Yeah, but it won't be long before Conan finds out."

"Then it will be very difficult for him to impersonate you in my presence."

"why?"

"If I say something and he doesn't understand it, then that's fine, isn't it?"

Qingze's words were perfectly reasonable.

His relationship with Ran Mouri isn't really like what they're acting out. The whole "pursuer and pursued" thing is just a facade.

If Kaito Kid doesn't understand a single glance from him, he'll be exposed in no time.

"That's true."

Ran Mouri nodded. Their understanding of each other was no longer a normal understanding; it was an understanding that had completely become the other person's understanding.

They knew some of his physical characteristics very well.

Even if Phantom Thief Kid could impersonate them, he would definitely be exposed very quickly.

Do you think it's possible to recognize someone through their soul?

"Unlikely."

"why?"

Aozawa countered, "You grew up with Shinichi Kudo, did he recognize your soul?"

"That's because I need to disguise myself. If I deliberately reveal something, he'll definitely recognize me."

That's Shinichi, after all, a clever and perceptive great detective.

“No one can recognize another by their soul when nothing is revealed.”

Chapter 226 is good, it shows great improvement.

As we were chatting, a scream suddenly came from afar.

Qingze was speechless.

Conan isn't here either, so why is this still happening?

"Mr. Qingze, let's go take a look."

Qingze nodded.

Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so there's no harm in taking a look.

I ran quickly to where the screams came from and saw a person lying face up outside the tent.

This is an adult male dressed in women's clothing, with heavy makeup on his face and a noticeable red graffiti on his face.

His mouth was wide open, stuffed with a crab leg, and he was clutching a piece of paper in his hand.

This design looks like a parody.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Ran Mouri tentatively asked a question, but received no response. Her heart sank slightly. She took out a handkerchief and felt the other person's pulse through it.

The pulse had stopped; the person in front of him was dead.

Sonoko and Makoto Kyogoku also ran over, asking, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"Someone is dead." Ran Mouri was unusually calm and instructed Sonoko to call the police.

The first to discover the body were the camp staff. In addition to them running over after hearing the screams, three other people also came running over.

Qingze's gaze fell on the three people, and his eyes narrowed.

interesting.

After examining the body, Ran Mouri leaned close to Aozawa and asked, "Mr. Aozawa, who do you think the murderer is?"

"Are you sure he killed him?"

"Mm." Ran Mouri nodded.

With this shape, this posture, and those obviously strange crab legs, it looks like it was deliberately made like this.

She just checked and there were no external injuries.

"This case is very simple. Let's try to solve it, Detective's Daughter."

"It hasn't been that long, Mr. Aozawa, you don't already know who the murderer is, do you?" Ran Mouri asked in astonishment.

Even Shinichi wouldn't be this outrageous.

"Here's a hint: the murderer is one of those three people."

These three people are two women and one man.

The fact that the deceased appeared here in this posture and with this attitude is rather strange.

Ran Mouri took a deep breath, adopted the demeanor of a detective's daughter, and began to seriously inquire about the situation before the police arrived.

Qingze walked into their tent and looked around. His gaze fell on the crab leg in the dead man's mouth, which looked like it had been forcibly stuffed into his mouth.

"Do you know the deceased? Did you do something to him?" Ran Mouri asked seriously, looking at the three people with different expressions.

The three people reacted strangely when they saw the deceased.

I wasn't sad or upset; instead, I was surprised and taken aback.

No wonder Qingze said the murderer was among these three people; after careful observation, she discovered that these three people had really serious problems.

The middle-aged woman with short hair nodded, avoiding Ran Mouri's somewhat sharp gaze.

"I am his wife..."

Ran Mouri narrowed her eyes slightly.

This shows a guilty conscience.

Looking at the man next to her, the man wearing an apron quickly apologized, "I'm...I'm sorry...I graffitied his face, but I didn't kill him."

Ran Mouri frowned; this person also had a problem.

She looked at the young woman one last time.

The woman looked at the man, then at the middle-aged woman, and made a surprised sound.

"What did you do to Mr. Tozaki?"

The deceased's surname was Tosaki, and he was the president of a company.

The three people were each other's wife, a chef friend, and a makeup artist.

The three last saw the deceased at dinner, after which they parted ways.

Sonoko and Makoto Kyogoku were instructed to watch over the three of them until the police arrived, while Ran Mouri went into the tent to check.

Their sighting was likely not the primary crime scene, as the body showed clear signs of being dragged and moved.

Sure enough, she noticed something unusual in the first tent.

Although the tent had been cleaned, there were spilled coffee stains and water stains on the carpet on the floor.

"Mr. Qingze, is this the primary crime scene?"

Ran Mouri looked at Aoyama who was following her.

Qingze put one hand in his pocket and said, "To determine the crime scene, you first need to determine the cause of his death."

"It was probably an allergic reaction! There were no external injuries on the deceased's body, so if he wasn't killed by a sharp weapon, then he died from other causes. Someone stuffed crab into his mouth, probably because crab could directly cause his death, so they deliberately stuffed it in there."

"Wow, you've made great progress."

"This is a very simple deduction. I've encountered so many cases before..."

Ran Mouri continued, following her train of thought:

"The deceased died from anaphylactic shock, so what killed him must have been food."

"The deceased couldn't have been unaware that he was allergic to crabs, so to get him to eat crabs, they must have mixed them with something else..."

The three suspects' tents were all next to each other, making the inspection convenient.

"Food...food...what kind of food could it be?"

There are many foods that can be used to hide crab meat, such as bread and biscuits; you need to prepare in advance...

Not long after, Ran Mouri found the cookie crumbs scattered in a corner of the makeup artist's tent.

"This is it!" Ran Mouri felt extremely accomplished after finding the murder weapon.
