Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Could it be Vermouth in disguise?

He squinted, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Is this Gin's style of doing things?

Infiltrating the Fukuda family home, drugging them, and filming them? And there were no casualties among the Fukuda family members?

Given his personality, shouldn't he have killed everyone who saw him?

Wouldn't doing this be deliberately leaving behind your face and evidence of a crime?

That's weird, really weird.

He put away his phone, walked out of the restroom, washed his hands, and returned to the back of the bar.

There's no rush to test Gin; he needs to keep an eye on that "man" first.

The organization suspects that he's quite willing to spend money to come here disguised as a woman as a waiter.

Mr. Mori probably realized it too, but after realizing that they weren't there for them, he stopped coming to the coffee shop.

But he was worried about Conan staying with the other person.

After all, one of this person's goals is "Shinichi Kudo".

"Little friend, did you used to stay at the Mouri Detective Agency?" Binga asked Conan while leaning against the bar.

"Well, my parents were away on a business trip and didn't have time to take care of me, so I stayed at Uncle Mori's house..."

While eating cake, Conan obediently answered Ms. Yada's question, his eyes curving gently, just like a particularly lovable child.

"I heard that Shinichi Kudo contacts you frequently..."

Binga did a lot of research on Shinichi Kudo.

As a hacker, he was better at online investigations than face-to-face probing.

He found several of Shinichi Kudo's classmates and chatted with them online, subtly inquiring about Shinichi Kudo.

These people naturally had no suspicion of him and easily got the result he wanted.

Aside from the time he appeared in Kyoto, Shinichi Kudo has appeared before.

It was a school festival where Shinichi Kudo performed in a stage play and solved a case.

He later went back to school for half a day.

This confirms that Shinichi Kudo is not dead.

How can a dead person go back to school?

As for the claim that it was a disguise...

That happened half a year ago. What kind of scheme could be set up so far in the future?

Ran Mouri's concealment is also suspicious.

Those words sounded like they had been specifically instructed to say something; something just didn't feel right.

Why does the organization think Shinichi Kudo is dead?

With this question in mind, he searched for the keyword "Shinichi Kudo" in the organization's system and found the medication record for APTX4869.

Shinichi Kudo took a poison that should have killed him, but he didn't die.

To avoid being discovered by the organization that he was not dead, Shinichi Kudo concealed himself and hid in the shadows.

This was truly fantastic news for him.

This is another huge mistake by Gin, besides Rye.

He only reported to Rum that Shinichi Kudo was not dead.

He wanted to lure Shinichi Kudo out, then bring him back, making Gin lose face.

"Where did you hear that Shinichi-nii-san contacts me often?"

Conan looked at him and asked in return.

"That's what your friends said."

Binga smiled and continued as if in casual conversation:

“I met them yesterday and showed them around for a while. After they learned that I wanted to find Kudo-kun, they said that I could contact Kudo-kun.”

He investigated all of Shinichi Kudo's interpersonal relationships, which of course included the Edogawa Conan standing in front of him.

This bright elementary school student, who has repeatedly made headlines, is quite remarkable.

As a relative of Shinichi Kudo, he was an admirer of Shinichi Kudo and obtained clues about the cases from Shinichi Kudo on several occasions, which helped him solve the cases.

This is probably the person who has the most contact with Shinichi Kudo.

Chapter 257 This is Shinichi's older brother's phone call.

Conan's heart sank slightly.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was trying to find out information about Shinichi Kudo from a child who had no connection with him at all.

He didn't give any instructions to Ayumi and the others, as they had no official contact with Shinichi Kudo.

But to everyone's surprise, even so, Risa Yada's gaze fell upon them.

Children are the easiest to get information out of people.

This immediately exposed their true colors.

Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance.

Now that Ms. Yada already knows that Shinichi Kudo is not dead, there is no need for her to continue pretending to be stupid.

Conan covered his face, looking troubled and seemingly having a headache.

After covering his face for a moment, he looked up at Risa Yada, his expression a mixture of wariness and childlike innocence.

"I do often ask Shinichi about cases, but he doesn't let me tell anyone. But I think Yada-neechan is a good person, so it shouldn't be a problem if you know..."

That's what Amuro Tooru heard when he returned to the bar.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, then vanished in an instant.

What is Conan trying to do by deliberately revealing that he has a connection with Shinichi Kudo?

Are they trying to lure Shinichi Kudo into a trap?

He pretended nothing had happened, walked to the sink to wash the dishes, and kept an eye on their conversation.

The child's identity was indeed very deceptive, and when Conan admitted it, Binga's smile softened.

"Of course. Could you help me get in touch with Kudo-kun? I'd like to ask him to help me with a case."

"What case is it? Does it have to be Shinichi?" Conan asked curiously.

Risa Yada's eyes were filled with sorrow. She closed them briefly, her face showing pain and anger.

She took a deep breath, suppressing all her emotions, and said to Conan, who was looking up at her:

"It's a very complicated case involving my brother's death... I'd like to ask Kudo-kun to help me investigate. Could you give me his contact information?"

Binga doesn't want to give up his identity as Risa Yada yet, and he will maintain this image until he catches Shinichi Kudo.

“It’s possible… but what about other detectives? Mr. Amuro is a detective too, isn’t he?” Conan tilted his head and frowned.

She seemed puzzled as to why Risa Yada insisted on Shinichi Kudo, even though there was the famous Kogoro Mouri upstairs.

Amuro Tooru, who was washing dishes, heard his name called, looked up and smiled, then said helplessly:

"I'm just a third-rate detective. I'm still learning from my teacher and haven't graduated yet."

Risa Yada gave Tooru Amuro an apologetic smile. "I had considered asking Mr. Mori to do it, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, then looked somewhat embarrassed.

“I don’t think Detective Mori is very reliable. This case is very important to me, and I don’t want to reopen old wounds for too many people, so I can only tell the detective I’m hiring.”

Conan nodded very sensibly, his round little face serious and well-behaved.

"I see."

He took out a pen and paper, wrote down a phone number, and handed it over.

"This is Shinichi's phone number."

"Thank you so much! This cake is on you."

Risa Yada held the slip of paper with the phone number on it with delight, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Conan looked at her and gave a slightly shy smile.

He reached up and adjusted his glasses, a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes.

Amuro Tooru overheard the entire conversation and exchange between the two.

Risa Yada put away the note, turned her head to look at him, and when she noticed his gaze, Amuro gave a slight smile.

"If you go to investigate a case, Kudo-kun, could you take me with you? I'd really like to learn from you."

"I'm sorry, this case is a very private matter, and I don't want too many people to know about it..."

"Miss Yada!" Conan suddenly gestured for her to come closer, as if she wanted to whisper something to him.

Risa Yada looked puzzled, but still leaned her head closer.

He didn't think a small child could pose any threat and wasn't wary at all.

“Ms. Yada, you should be careful of Mr. Amuro. I think he is a bad person.”

As Conan spoke, he quietly tossed a button-shaped locator into her pocket.

After finishing the cake, Conan walked out of the coffee shop.

Looking at the office building's staircase, he went up to the second floor and found the door closed and no one inside.

He did not go upstairs again, but returned to his home the same way he came.

It has now been confirmed that Risa Yada is involved in a scandal and is a member of the Black Organization.

However, whether it has a code name, and what that code name is, is still unknown.

This Risa Yada is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

He was investigating himself; he wanted to figure out why he hadn't died.

He wanted to hold onto himself!

If he can't find himself, he will definitely target Xiaolan and the others, using Xiaolan to lure him out.

This understanding is crystal clear.

He couldn't let that happen. They couldn't wait for Risa Yada to make the first move. They had to catch her off guard when she wasn't prepared!

The autumn sun shone on his face, and his expression, though that of a child, was unusually cold and stern.

In the afternoon, Binga took leave and ended his part-time job for the day.

"Are you planning to contact Kudo-kun now?" Amuro Tooru asked casually.

Risa Yada looked at Bourbon, who seemed to be asking casually, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

He knew that Rum had once asked Bourbon to check whether Shinichi Kudo was dead.

However, Bourbon's conclusion was that Shinichi Kudo had disappeared and his fate was unknown.

However, in just a few days, he discovered that Shinichi Kudo had been active and even heard the child admit that he frequently contacted Shinichi Kudo.

Bourbon has been here for at least two or three months, hasn't he?

A child who lived upstairs and could be seen often did not believe that Bourbon could not be persuaded of anything.

Therefore, his deliberate statement that Shinichi Kudo was missing and his fate was unknown is quite intriguing.

"No, I'm going to pay respects to my brother."

A one-eyed old man walked out of the sushi restaurant next door.

"Your cooking skills are good. Come to work tomorrow."
