Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"I've been quite relaxed lately."

He leaned slightly towards Vermouth, his eyes narrowing, revealing undisguised inquiry and a subtle sense of pressure.

"I didn't expect you to come to Shinichi Kudo's funeral in person. What, are you here to confirm if this high school detective is really dead?"

"Ha ha……"

Vermouth chuckled softly, took an elegant drag on her cigarette, and slowly exhaled, the smoke blurring her delicate features.

She glanced at Amuro Tooru through the smoke. "What I do is none of your business."

Amuro Tooru moved even closer, and the distance between the two instantly shortened, creating an invisible tension in the cramped space inside the car.

"I'm very curious about one thing: who exactly is this Qingze?"

Vermouth paused slightly in the hand holding the cigarette, tapped the cigarette butt lightly with her fingertips, and shook off a small amount of ash, the movement carrying an air of nonchalant elegance.

She then looked up to meet Amuro Tooru's gaze, her eyes filled with scrutiny, inquiry, and a hint of barely perceptible mockery:

"You do not know?"

Amuro Tooru frowned slightly, a perfectly timed look of confusion appearing on his face, his tone carrying a genuine question.

"How would I know? This is only the second time I've seen Qingze today."

Vermouth looked at him, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips, and shook her head slightly, her tone laced with mockery:

"Bourbon, it seems your intelligence skills aren't that great either."

Meeting Vermouth's gaze, Amuro Tooru neither flinched nor avoided it.

"So, who is he?"

Vermouth took another drag of her cigarette, exhaling slowly. Amidst the swirling smoke, her voice carried a languid yet cruel tone, as if revealing a mystery:

"Haven't you always been curious about Koniak? Now you know him."

Amuro Tooru frowned, but his face did not show excessive surprise. Instead, it was a knowing look that said, "I knew it."

"Why is he so different from the Koniak I know?"

Vermouth didn't answer immediately. She stared ahead, the cigarette burning between her fingers, the smoke billowing before her eyes, making her profile appear somewhat hazy.

After a long pause, she spoke slowly, in a tone tinged with distant memories:

"When he was younger, he was actually like this..."

Gentle, kind, and seemingly harmless.

However, these are all disguises.

It is to conceal one's sharpness when one lacks power.

Vermouth abruptly changed the subject, her tone becoming cold and realistic again, carrying a sense of indifference towards the vicissitudes of life.

"However, that was a long time ago. Not many people remember what he looked like anymore."

Even Gin couldn't recall what the innocent and harmless Koniak was like.

Amuro Tooru's brow remained furrowed as he pressed on, "I've investigated his background. His real name should be Fukuda Tomohiro, right? How did he end up in the organization?"

Vermouth chuckled, a cruel smile curving her lips.

"you guess."

Before Amuro Tooru could react, she suddenly leaned forward, closing in on him, her voice extremely low, carrying an almost whispered warning:

"He's the kind of person who fought his way out of the organization's laboratory..."

Her red lips almost touched Amuro Tooru's earlobe, and her breath was icy cold.

"If you want to deal with him, then you have to be prepared to go all out."

......

After Vermouth left, Sera Masumi, Asahi Eri, and Aozawa approached.

"Aunt Eri, I am Sera Masumi."

"Hello, I've heard Xiaolan mention you before."

"Where's Xiaolan? I haven't seen her lately?"

"Xiao Lan is taking care of her father at the hospital."

Sera Masumi was taken aback. Uncle Mori was in the hospital?

She thought Ran was taking care of Conan, but who is taking care of Conan?

Is it that child named Haibara?

"Is Uncle Mori sick?"

"Yeah, I got a little injured before."

"Which hospital are you in? Is it convenient for me to visit you?"

"We were just about to go back to the hospital, so let's go together if you want."

"Are you going to find Xiaolan? I want to come too!"

Hondo Eisuke suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Eri looked at Ran's two classmates and nodded.

Qingze's gaze fell on the two people.

These two seemed rather indifferent about Shinichi Kudo's death, as if they knew that Shinichi Kudo was Conan Edogawa.

It seems that quite a few people know Conan Edogawa's true identity.

"This is...?" Aozawa looked at Hondo Eisuke, whom he was meeting for the "first time," with a puzzled expression.

If I remember correctly, Kir's real name is Hondo Eikai, and Hondo Eisuke is Kir's younger brother, judging from his name.

He transferred here after Kiel's death, definitely to seek revenge, and maybe he even joined the CIA.

This innate hatred stemming from the killing of his sister and father means there's no need for any additional education on hatred.

Sometimes he really thought Shinichi Kudo was quite audacious, having his identity known by a CIA agent.

If the other side feels there is no hope of revenge, and leaks this matter to higher authorities, Japan will become American territory the next day.

"Hello, my name is Hondo Eisuke, Ran's classmate."

"I am Qingze, Xiaolan's boyfriend."

Sera Masumi's eyes widened. "You two are together?"

Qingze smiled and nodded.

Sera Masumi looked at Eri Kisaki again, and Eri Kisaki didn't react much, which clearly meant that their relationship was now public knowledge.

Hondo Eisuke carefully examined the person in front of him, a pang of sadness rising in his heart.

Just like Sonoko said, he's a handsome guy.

He's tall and has a great presence; he stands there like he's under a spotlight. Compared to him, he's a world apart from the high school student he is now.

Although I knew this day would come, I still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when I found out that the person I liked was in a relationship.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Qingze opened the passenger door of the Maybach for Eri.

Eri Kisaki smiled and accepted her future son-in-law's attentiveness.

Knowing that Qingze was wealthy, no one was surprised by the luxury car.

Once inside the car, Sera Masumi asked Kogoro Mouri why he was injured, and subtly inquired about Aozawa and Ran's relationship.

"When did Mr. Qingze get together with Xiaolan?"

A few days ago.

"Did you confess your feelings? Where did you confess?"

Eri Kisaki also looked over.

Although she "witnessed" it, she didn't know the details.

Qingze: "......"

How should I put it?

Chapter 390: Is the Organization's Radar Short-Circuited?

Qingze tried to get two red clouds to appear on his face, but he didn't succeed.

Unable to feign shyness, he smiled faintly and openly:

"I've been pursuing Xiaolan, and she's just reciprocating my feelings."

"that's it?"

"Ah."

Sera Masumi felt a little disappointed when she didn't get the answer she wanted.

We'll ask Xiaolan later; Mr. Qingze doesn't seem very willing to share.

Eri Kisaki adjusted her glasses, a faint smile on her face.

Sometimes, it can be quite startling when your own daughter takes the initiative.

She was startled when she saw it.

However, Qingze is quite serious; he gave away the property a long time ago and only took it out a few days ago.

This behavior is enough to demonstrate his seriousness and sincerity.

......

Ran Mouri sat on a chair in the hospital room, resting with her hand on her head.

Besides her, Conan who was lying unconscious, Ai Haibara was also in the ward.

Ai Haibara didn't want to go to the funeral parlor. On the surface, she had no interaction with Shinichi Kudo, and there was no need for her to go and mourn.

Since the Kudo couple couldn't get away, she came to the hospital to take care of Conan.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Haibara asked with concern.

Ran Mouri opened her eyes and softly hummed in agreement.

I went to bed too late last night and got up very early this morning, so I didn't get much rest at all.

"Why don't you go home and rest for a while? I can look after him here."

Conan is still asleep and doesn't need any care. Just keep an eye on the IV drip, and when it's finished, have the nurse come and change it promptly. Call the nurse immediately if anything happens.

They couldn't do any more care.

Looking at the child who had shrunk just like Shinichi, Ran Mouri had mixed feelings.

Although she didn't reveal her identity, she couldn't treat her like a child anymore.

"You must be bored here all by yourself."

"will not."

"Then I'll go check on Dad and come back later."

Ran Mouri decided to take a walk, buy a cup of coffee, and wake herself up.

Back in the corridor of her father's hospital room, she ran into Qingze and his friends who were coming over.

"Ran!" Sera Masumi waved to her.

If you think about it carefully, Xiaolan has been on leave for several days, and she hasn't seen Xiaolan for several days.

"Sera, Hondo, what brings you here?"

"We've come to see our uncle."

Qingze handed her the milk tea, saying, "Have some to perk you up."

Ran Mouri smiled and took it. "Have you had it?"
