Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Kogoro Mouri sat down on the tatami mat, picked up a sandwich, glanced at the time on his watch, and urged them on.

"Xiaolan, hurry up, you're going to be late for school."

"I'm fast, I won't be late!"

"You've been sleeping in way too much lately; you might be late one day..."

"Final exams are coming up soon, so I've been studying late into the night."

Ran Mouri came out carrying her schoolbag, took a sandwich, put it in her mouth, changed her shoes, and hurriedly left.

After Ran Mouri left and the door closed, Tooru Amuro looked at Kogoro Mouri, who was eating breakfast, and asked in a gossipy tone:

"Teacher, do you know that Miss Lan is in a relationship?"

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened, and his voice cracked slightly.

"Impossible! Xiaolan promised me she wouldn't date before she turned 18!"

But even if she agrees, it's not impossible that she might lie to her elderly father for the sake of a man.

He stared intently at Amuro Tooru's face, unusually tense. "Did you see something?"

"I saw Miss Lan being very intimate with a man."

How intimate were they? Did they hold hands or hug?

"Uh……"

Amuro Tooru remained unmoved as he looked at Kogoro Mouri, who seemed unaware of his daughter's romantic relationship.

"I just saw them walking together, quite close to each other."

Whether he saw it or not, it didn't stop him from probing.

Hearing him say that, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's alright..."

Although his own little cabbage would eventually be dug up, he still hoped that day would come later.

"I don't recognize that man at all; I've never seen him before."

"It's that Aozawa that Ran talks about every day," Kogoro Mouri said, pursing his lips, clearly not wanting to talk about this topic.

"Doesn't Ms. Mori like him?"

"No, that kid is alright. But the thought of him having designs on Xiaolan really bothers me!"

A dark glint flashed in Amuro Tooru's eyes.

Koniak's disguise skills are truly remarkable.

"I'm quite curious about him. Can you tell me about him, teacher?"

Kogoro Mouri paused slightly in his sandwich-eating motion, his gaze falling on the man's face, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Amuro Tooru maintained his obedient student demeanor and smiled slightly.

"Didn't you come here to ask about the case? Why are you asking him?"

Chapter 275 Teacher, please be careful of Qingze

"To be honest, this case is somewhat related to him."

"Oh, what's your relationship?"

"It's a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain. Could you tell me about his situation first, teacher?"

"There's nothing to say about this kid."

Putting aside his prejudices, Kogoro Mouri thought Aozawa was a pretty good person, with nothing particularly noteworthy about him.

"Why don't you talk about your case?"

"It's the Fukuda family case..." Amuro Tooru recounted the case that had been making headlines in the news yesterday.

Conan had told him about the Fukuda family's situation, asking him if there was any way to turn the tables when someone else was taking the blame.

Amuro Tooru had no way to deal with this.

However, he did learn something about Aozawa's relationship with the Fukuda family.

Previously, due to insufficient information, he did not know what was going on.

Now it's clear.

It was Koniak who took action regarding the Fukuda family's affairs.

The Gin that the Fukuda family saw was most likely not Gin himself.

The other woman with "Gin" is undoubtedly Vermouth.

Koniak and Gin seem to have a bad relationship. Judging from the various personalities he's heard about, Koniak is the kind of person who would impersonate Gin and cause him trouble.

Last night, he even asked people in the organization about some gossip about Koniak.

But it turned out that Koniak had killed a whole base, which made no one dare to talk about him anymore.

Even when chatting privately, they are very careful, for fear of being caught online.

In short, the image of Koniac that he had formed in his mind was dangerous, cruel, and violent.

He is an extremely dangerous individual who is unreasonable and will pull out a gun to kill people at the slightest provocation.

What exactly did this person pretend to be in front of Kogoro Mouri?

It's understandable that inexperienced young girls wouldn't notice, but couldn't even Kogoro Mouri notice his problem?

Kogoro Mouri chewed on his sandwich, glancing at the student with ulterior motives.

"Didn't the police and the procuratorate jointly issue a notice about this case and are investigating it? What are you worried about?"

“I’m curious too…after all, the Fukuda family committed quite a few crimes in the video, and a lot of people were involved.”

"Don't worry about that, the police will handle it."

Amuro Tooru asked a few more questions indirectly, and Kogoro Mori gave vague and ambiguous answers.

Amuro Tooru knew he wouldn't get anything out of him, so he got up and left.

Before leaving, he gave a reminder.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Teacher Mori should be more careful about this Qingze."

"Okay, you can go about your business."

The door on the third floor was closed again, and Kogoro Mouri lit a cigarette.

His eyes narrowed as the smoke filled the air.

Amuro Tooru is probably a member of the police force; he's likely working undercover.

He deliberately reminded me...

Just who is Qingze?

After finishing his cigarette, he got up to go find his wife.

Qingze's situation isn't urgent; the priority now is the safety of his family.

……

Most of the time, life in the second year of high school is uneventful, but sometimes, the class becomes lively because of the appearance of certain people.

"A classmate?"

Ran Mouri was surprised to see this face, who had transferred to a school in the United States, reappear.

Hondo Eisuke transferred to Teitan High School six months ago, and after staying there for a while, he transferred to a school in the United States.

Now, it's back.

"Lan-san, long time no see!" Hondo Eisuke, who wore round glasses and had a delicate and cute appearance, greeted her with a smile.

"Why are you back?" Sonoko asked curiously.

Didn't you already go to America? Why are you back?

"Something happened, so I came back..."

Hondo Eisuke's eyes curved into crescents, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

His older sister, Hondo Emi, sacrificed her life.

After losing his father, he also lost his sister, whom he had finally found.

Grief and hatred surged like waves, almost consuming his reason, making him want to return to Japan immediately to avenge his sister.

But since he had already joined the CIA, he could not act on his own.

Moreover, he was just a newcomer who was still learning and training, far from meeting the standards required to be a special agent and to be able to go on missions.

After some time, through his father's and sister's connections, he was transferred back to Japan as a CIA agent stationed there.

During this time, he needs to attend school, receive CIA training, investigate the organization, and find a way to avenge his sister.

Although he may seem clumsy, awkward, and naive, Hondo Eisuke is actually quite perceptive, meticulous, and has a strong ability to observe.

Otherwise, even with the legacy left by his father and sister, he would not have been able to pass the CIA's test and become a CIA agent.

His first target now is Shinichi Kudo.

—The kid who revealed himself before he left that he was Shinichi Kudo.

Conan Edogawa, who knew where his sister was and shrunk because of that organization.

"I remember last time my classmate came to see my sister..."

Ran Mouri remembers Eisuke Hondo's story quite clearly.

He apparently found his sister later, but he never told her anything specific.

"Yes, something happened to my sister, so I came back."

Ran Mouri frowned. "What happened? Can I help?"

She sensed that Hondo Eisuke wasn't quite right; the smile on his face seemed fake.

It's like not wanting to laugh, but forcing yourself to laugh.

"If I need your help, I won't hesitate. By the way, I'd like to play with Conan after school this afternoon. Is it convenient for me to come to your house?"

Ran Mouri shook her head. "Conan doesn't live at my house anymore. If you want to find him, you have to go to his house."

"Huh?" Hondo Eisuke was greatly surprised.

Why did Conan suddenly stop working at the Mouri Detective Agency?

Has he regained his identity? But that doesn't make sense. If he has regained his identity, he should be called Shinichi Kudo now.

Why isn't he staying at your house anymore?

“His parents are back, so of course he’s staying at his own home.”

Seeing Ran Mouri's unusually calm expression when she brought up the matter, Hondo Eisuke felt puzzled.

What happened? I have a feeling that Ran's attitude towards Conan has changed.

He glanced at Sonoko Suzuki beside him, intending to ask her about it sometime.

At this moment, Sera Masumi stepped between the group, draping one arm over Suzuki Sonoko's shoulder.

"What are you talking about? Aren't you going to introduce this new classmate to me?"

Sonoko Suzuki introduced her casually, "This is Hondo. She was in our class for a while before. She's super cute, isn't she!"

"Yes, he really is! He's so cute!"

Hondo Eisuke awkwardly scratched his head.

A boy felt a little embarrassed when someone told him he was cute.

"What is this?" He looked Sera Masumi up and down.
