Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Chapter 315 is Binga's personal revenge.

Ran Mouri puffed out her cheeks.

Who stuffs something behind someone's neck? Shouldn't it be stuffed into their pocket?

She didn't pull the two hands away, letting them rest in the warm crook of her neck.

After just a short while, I could feel my hands getting warmer and no longer cold.

Qingze pulled his hands out, which had become completely warm. "Your hands are warm now. You can go inside now. I'm going back."

After saying that, he turned around and walked briskly towards the gate, stepping on the shadows of the trees in the courtyard.

Ran Mouri's voice came from behind.

What do you think of what I said to my dad?

Qingze didn't turn around, but simply made a hand gesture.

"Watch while sitting."

Looking at his back and the OK sign, Ran Mouri smiled.

She has figured out how to deal with this two-faced guy.

Whether it's hugging or holding hands, Qingze may say no, but his actions don't actually refuse.

So it doesn't really matter if she takes the initiative or acts a little recklessly; at most, she'll just get a few words of criticism.

Sure enough, you have to be tough when dealing with hypocrites.

However, it can't be completely rigid; it still needs to be flexible where necessary.

A combination of firm and persuasive tactics is the best approach.

She has now made Qingze's pursuit of her public, and can now appear at the agency openly and legitimately.

She could already see a bright future right before her eyes!

Humming a cheerful tune, she went inside.

The soil in the potted plants in the room was moist. Ran looked at them and removed all the withered leaves, preparing to fertilize them tomorrow.

Thinking about tomorrow, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her phone to call Qingze.

Qingze received the call before he had gone very far, and was somewhat speechless.

Couldn't you have just said what you needed to say? You've only walked a few steps, and you're calling again.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Qingze, are you home yet? I miss you."

On the phone, her own voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

Qingze suddenly stopped and pressed his temple.

"...Stop fooling around."

Ran Mouri was just teasing him, and upon hearing this, she made two "hehe" sounds.

"I promised to go to the art exhibition with Sonoko tomorrow, Mr. Aozawa, don't forget."

"Kidd's going to steal the jewels, right? Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Qingze strolled slowly towards the office.

There were no pedestrians on the winter night, and the streets were quiet. A breeze blew across my face, bringing a chill.

As he turned a corner, he ran into Kenjiro Wakita, who had just finished delivering food.

"Miss Mori!"

"Mr. Wakita has finished delivering the food."

Kenjiro Wakita sighed, exhaling a puff of warm breath. "Yeah, it's really cold outside on winter nights. If I didn't need to make money, I really wouldn't want to come out and deliver food."

"It must have been really tough."

"It's not hard at all, I'm used to it. Is your boyfriend really that comfortable letting you go home alone?"

"The road is very safe, and we even ran into Mr. Wakita, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's true."

Looking at the girl who seemed to take it for granted, Kenjiro Wakita smiled and nodded, like a kind old man, showing no sign of aggression.

The two walked along the same road in the same direction, and Kenjiro Wakita would occasionally try to start a conversation with the girl.

Is your boyfriend a college student?

"I've already graduated from university."

"Oh dear, does that mean you'll be able to get married very soon?"

When this was brought up, the girl became a little embarrassed, "We're just dating, we haven't thought that far ahead..."

"Huh? I thought you were meeting your parents tonight."

"It was just a meal together..."

"Seeing how well you two get along, I thought you were getting married soon. Turns out I was wrong..."

The girl was still embarrassed, "He was just a little drunk, he's not usually like this..."

"Haha, you see people's true colors when they're drunk! Most people's true selves are revealed when they're drunk!"

Looking at the shy girl, Rum frowned inwardly.

What's going on with this bourbon?

Didn't they tell the Mori family anything?

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the building where the Mori office was located.

"I'm going upstairs now. Goodbye, Mr. Wakita."

As he climbed the stairs, Qingze composed himself.

This old man is so inquisitive about his affairs.

We need to kill him as soon as possible.

Kenjiro Wakita walked into the sushi restaurant, his expression unchanged.

"Wakita, you can go home now."

Wakita Kanenori's gaze fell on the boss's face, and he smiled:

"Good boss."

After leaving the sushi restaurant, Kenjiro Wakita turned a few corners and got into a car that was already waiting by the roadside.

After removing his dentures and eye patch, he revealed a somewhat unique prosthetic eye hidden beneath the eye patch.

Looking at the faces reflected in the car window, he suddenly said:

"Will Phantom Thief Kid show up tomorrow?"

The driver thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, sir."

……

At home in Edogawa.

Looking at the reporters patiently waiting at the door from inside the car, Conan drew the curtains, feeling a bit of a headache.

These reporters suddenly appeared two days ago, staring at the Kudo family like paparazzi, trying to find Shinichi Kudo.

He didn't live in the Kudo residence with his parents; instead, it was Akai Shuichi, who used the alias Okiya Subaru, who lived there.

This caused Mr. Akai a lot of trouble.

As soon as he steps out, he is surrounded by a large number of reporters who ask him why he lives here and where the original owner went.

Subaru Okiya explained several times that he was only staying temporarily and had never met Shinichi Kudo.

Many reporters gave up after realizing they couldn't catch Shinichi Kudo at this location, while some reporters, having somehow learned that the Edogawa family and the Kudo family were related, started staking out at other locations.

Every day, as soon as I step out, reporters swarm around me, asking all sorts of questions.

Some of the questions were particularly sharp, and they found it difficult to answer them.

Not only them, but Professor Agasa was also harassed.

Ai Haibara didn't want her face to be photographed, so she stayed home these past few days and didn't even go to school.

Conan is similar.

After being questioned the entire way on his first day of school, he simply took a day off and stayed home to rest.

He also ordered the children not to come over for the next few days, and not to come looking for him and Haibara.

"I'm a little confused. Is this a method from the organization? It's too subtle..." Conan frowned.

He had witnessed Gin's methods firsthand; he would kill someone without hesitation once he sensed something was amiss, and he wouldn't bother with any of these fancy tricks.

Shuichi Akai, still in disguise, crossed his arms. "This should just be a personal tactic. It's Binga's personal revenge."

During this time, he learned about Risa Yada's code name through various means.

—Binga.

A person who is said to be at odds with Gin.

Binga escaped injured last time, but he didn't die.

This move attracted the attention of the news media, encompassing everyone he suspected of having a connection with Shinichi Kudo, including Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa, and Subaru Okiya.

"If he wants revenge, this is probably just an appetizer." Conan's face darkened.

Binga's true purpose is to find Shinichi Kudo.

These journalists were just the starting point.

"When will you let me show myself?" Conan looked at his father with a heavy expression that seemed out of place for his age.

This turmoil concerning Shinichi Kudo will only end when Shinichi Kudo "dies".

Yusaku Kudo rested his chin on his interlaced fingers, the scrolling emails on his laptop screen reflecting on his calm face.

"If you show up at a time like this, they'll only suspect it's a trap. Don't rush."

Yukiko Kudo, standing to the side, sighed deeply, her gaze towards her son filled with an overwhelming worry.

"Shinichi, this is too risky, almost a matter of life and death... If we could, your father and I would only wish for your safety..."

Her voice trembled slightly, the unspoken words weighing on her heart.

The moment when Shinichi Kudo absolutely had to appear hadn't arrived yet, and no one could be sure if the faked death would be successful. They could only hope that the period called "death" would come later, much later...

It would be best if it never came.

Chapter 316 Your Life Will Be in Danger

At night, in a somewhat eerie ancient castle, the witch Koizumi Akako, dressed as a witch, stands before the stone altar in the basement.

She is the rightful heir to the Red Magic and the last Scarlet Witch in the world.

Mysterious and unique are her defining characteristics.

If she wanted, she could capture the heart of every man in the world.

But there is one exception.

—That elegant, confident, and composed white-clad phantom thief.

No matter how many times she tried to win him over, she always failed.

She was even drawn to his charm, and couldn't help but focus her gaze and attention on him.

Tomorrow, Phantom Thief Kid, who has already issued a notice, will reappear. As usual, she will perform divination, trying to glean fragments of the future.

She held a crystal ball with a faint blue luster between her fingers. The crystal ball floated slowly, suspended in the center of the altar.
