She only knew that Conan was Shinichi, but she didn't know how Shinichi became Conan.

She guessed it might be related to the organization Qingze belonged to, but she had no idea what the connection was.

She had no idea that Conan would react this way when he saw Gin.

"Will Conan get into trouble if he follows him?" Ran Mouri asked worriedly.

Although she has moved on from that relationship, it doesn't mean she won't worry about Conan.

The bond between childhood friends is never just about romantic love.

Qingze said calmly, "That depends on whether Gin will give me face, and what this kid is up to."

The kid's identity is questionable, and he also has all sorts of strange gadgets on him.

Who knows what he was planning to do by following him?

Out of consideration for his personal relationship, Gin will keep his relationship with Ran Mouri a secret and will not make any moves against Ran Mouri and her father.

But this little kid who isn't closely related to Ran Mouri is a different story.

The identity of a child is a good disguise, but if the child sees or hears anything they shouldn't, Gin never hesitates to kill them.

Ran Mouri knows Shinichi too well.

Since he followed them, he must have wanted to find out something from Gin.

He has listening devices, tranquilizer darts, and voice-changing devices; he will do everything he can to eavesdrop on Gin.

If they are not discovered, all will be well; but once they are discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.

Ran Mouri had already taken a step in that direction.

She is now Aozawa, and this identity of Koniak can save Conan.

Qingze grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Since that kid dared to follow, he must be confident in protecting his own safety. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions."

Qingze never works as a nanny and hates cleaning up other people's messes.

Ran Mouri turned to look at him, her expression serious and earnest.

“But Conan is just a child, and I am his guardian. I want to follow him and see what he’s up to.”

Ah.

A sneer escaped Qingze's throat.

guardian?

What kind of guardian is a minor?

Chapter 83 The Vast Difference Between Ideas and Perspectives

Shinichi Kudo is not a child.

Conan Edogawa is no child either.

He has his own thinking ability and is clearly aware of the consequences of doing so.

Since he dared to do this, he should be prepared to deal with any bad outcome.

What kind of guardian is Ran Mouri? Why should she bear the consequences for him?

Follow them and see? What a load of rubbish!

If Gin discovers that brat, will he have to show up and save him?

Qingze hates people who have no self-awareness; reckless behavior without ability is just courting death.

He never saves people who are courting death.

I said, no.

He grabbed Ran Mouri's arm, his expression cold, speaking slowly and deliberately with a firm tone.

This kid has quite a few people around him, including Japanese public security officers and FBI agents.

With Ran Mouri's tracking skills, which only involve theoretical knowledge, she'd be discovered even if she followed that kid, let alone Gin.

If Ran Mouri saves someone, it will inevitably expose Koniak's identity. Once Aoze is equated with Koniak, he will face a crackdown from the Public Security Bureau and the FBI.

It's not worth it for a little brat.

Moreover, if you save someone once, does that mean you have to save them a second time, a third time, or countless times?

Ran Mouri looked at him, completely puzzled.

"why?"

Why can he be so indifferent?

"I hate overconfident brats."

"Is that why?"

"Reckless actions without strength are suicidal, and I never save those who are courting death."

Looking at the indifferent face of Qingze, Ran Mouri realized for the first time the huge gap between them.

Yes, he is an assassin.

She had maintained this peaceful demeanor for so long that she had almost forgotten his true identity.

How can you expect a killer to save someone?

She suddenly felt like crying.

All the previous interactions seemed like a dream. His heart may have been gentle, but beyond that, there were more practical considerations.

They are completely different people, and when she chooses to save people, he will not support her without hesitation.

It felt like a piece of my heart had suddenly gone empty.

She pulled her hand away from his, looked up at him directly, and her eyes swirled with stubbornness, like steel that had been tempered in fire.

"I can't just stand by and do nothing while someone takes a risk."

She didn't know what Qingze was thinking or what he was worried about.

But she knew she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

She has her own principles and morals, and she will do what she can to help.

Her soul's radiance has never faded from beginning to end.

What's more, that person is Shinichi.

It was Shinichi Kudo, who grew up with her.

Looking at the flames in her eyes, Qingze realized with such clarity that the two of them would not be on the same path.

Ran Mouri is Ran Mouri, and Aozawa is Aozawa; they are from completely different worlds.

The so-called "accomplices" and "comrades-in-arms" are actually just wishful thinking.

Their relationship was like a thin sheet of paper, easily torn to shreds.

Ran Mouri continued, her tone softening slightly:

"He doesn't necessarily need me to save him; I'm just going to check on him."

"What if he needs it?"

“Then save him! And I can save him!” Ran Mouri looked at him and said with unwavering determination.

If she could save someone, she would do so.

She didn't want to turn around and see Conan's corpse.

Ran Mouri did not want to disregard his wishes, after all, the identity she was using now did not belong to her.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful and won't reveal your identity to Conan."

Qingze looked at her expressionlessly, his demeanor returning to its initial indifference.

"What if I still say no?"

Anger rose in his heart, but Qingze couldn't quite put his finger on what he was angry about.

Perhaps it was because Ran Mouri's radiant and righteous aura was so dazzling that it made him appear as despicable as a vermin.

"Feel sorry."

Ran Mouri apologized and turned around without hesitation.

The body swap was not her wish, and if she could, she would not want to use Qingze's body.

It was like a fuse being lit, and the fury exploded.

A swift chop to the back of Ran Mouri's neck struck her, aiming to knock her unconscious.

Ran Mouri was startled, and her body reacted quickly, dodging and grabbing the hand at the same time.

Qingze withdrew his hand, and his whip kick was already striking.

The two men started fighting on this relatively secluded street.

Ran Mouri and Aoze have sparred many times. Although she lacks skill and experience and is not ruthless enough, she can overpower Aoze's current young body in terms of strength.

Qingze showed no mercy, his anger surging, wanting nothing more than to defeat the person in front of him.

Ran Mouri also unleashed her anger.

Why did Qingze stop her from doing something so simple?

Two stubborn souls clashed fiercely, their emotions surging like boiling magma, a chasm of beliefs and ideas standing between them, neither willing to yield an inch.

Anger burned through their nerves, stubbornness twisted into a taut string, and in that instant, they were on the verge of tearing each other apart—

The buzzing of all the senses suddenly intensified, and my vision went completely black!

Before I knew it, my field of vision had shifted.

My body has been restored.

Qingze stopped moving instantly.

He looked at Ran Mouri, who was stunned by the sudden change in her body, and knocked her unconscious without hesitation.

He caught the girl who had collapsed, hailed a taxi, gave the driver 10 yen, and roughly threw the girl into the back seat.

"Send it to the Mori Detective Agency."

A large order came up unexpectedly, and the taxi driver gladly accepted it.

After seeing Ran Mouri off, Aozawa looked up at the towering building in front of him and walked inside expressionlessly.

……

Conan is wandering around inside the building.

The entire building belongs to a trading company. Because he had gone around in circles and hadn't followed Gin directly, he had no idea which floor Gin had gone up to.

Fortunately, he found a witness.

"Those two men in black you mentioned, they're looking for the chairman. They went up to the top floor."

The young man being questioned looked on with curiosity. "Little friend, are you really Detective Mouri's assistant? What are you investigating?"

"I just received a request, please keep it a secret, brother..."

After the young man agreed to keep it a secret, Conan quickly slipped away, running up the stairs.

The chairman's office on the top floor was easy to find, probably because it was specifically for a deal with the black-clad organization; there was no one there at the moment.

Conan quickly located the chairman's office. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras around, he pressed his head against the closed door.

They were talking inside the door; you could vaguely hear them through the door.

"This isn't the first time we've worked together; I'm just using your channels to purchase some raw materials..."

"Import and export inspections have been strict lately, so it's not easy to get the raw materials you want..."
