Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Chapter 103 They were naturally on the opposite side

Noticing that the villa had quieted down, Ran Mouri led Takeshi out of the living room.

"Grandpa Butler, we'll take our leave now."

Xiao Wu said goodbye very politely.

Ran Mouri glanced at the room on the third floor, where the lights had already been turned off, and then left with Xiaowu in her hand.

The police car drove away, and the roadside was unusually empty, with two shadows, one tall and one short, stretched out under the streetlights.

Ran Mouri suddenly stopped in her tracks. She saw a figure leaning against a car, seemingly waiting for her.

"Miss Chris?"

Vermouth smiled and looked over. "Still calling me Miss Chris?"

Ran Mouri obediently changed her form of address.

"teacher."

Vermouth walked over and hugged her.

"I'm leaving now that filming is over. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, whether it's about acting or anything else..."

Although she wasn't used to this inexplicable friendliness, Ran Mouri sensed her goodwill.

"I will, teacher. I hope you won't find me annoying."

Vermouth nodded, waved to her, and the car quickly disappeared around the corner.

As the car disappeared, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke.

"Sister, you're so easy to like."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I also really like you, sister. I liked you the moment I saw you."

Ran Mouri burst out laughing when she was suddenly confessed to by a child.

What's going on?

In the bedroom on the third floor where the murder occurred.

Kogoro Mouri slowly woke up, looked at the room where only one person was left, and scratched his head.

The case is solved again?

Sachiko Matsui, who was standing by the window, noticed that he was awake and went over to him.

"Mr. Mori, I wonder if I could commission you to investigate a long-standing case."

The culprit was found so quickly, and evidence was also found. The sleeping detective Kogoro Mouri truly lives up to his name.

Since it lives up to its reputation, investigating a case from over a decade ago shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Huh? What kind of case?"

Kogoro Mouri was somewhat surprised to receive a request right after waking up.

Sachiko Matsui clenched her fists.

"A case related to my sister who died many years ago."

You have a younger sister?

"Yes, my younger sister is two years younger than me. She married and moved to Kyoto, but she died in a car accident 13 years ago."

Kogoro Mouri frowned. "You suspect there's something fishy about her death?"

It's been so long since it happened, and it was a car accident, so it's hard to investigate.

"Yes, the police closed the case back then as an accident, which was too quick and too hasty..."

"Could you tell me in detail?"

……

Qingze slept until early in the morning, and left without disturbing anyone.

There weren't many cars on the road in the early morning, and the smooth traffic made driving a pleasant experience.

A breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, ruffling his disheveled hair.

Everything was exactly the same as a few days ago, but I just felt much happier.

As the car drove through Beika Town without him noticing, he paused for a moment when he saw the Mori Detective Agency, then turned and drove to the two-story building.

The two-story house remains as clean and tidy as ever, with even the green plants still lush and green.

There was even a bunch of evening primroses in the vase in the living room.

Clearly, someone has been coming to water the plants, and quite frequently.

Qingze's lips curled up slightly.

This maid is alright, isn't she?

Aside from being a bit too kind, a bit too righteous, a bit too nosy, a bit too naive, and a bit too overconfident...

Ah……

This is not just a little bit...

Her eyes lowered, and the slight brightness in her mood vanished once more.

He lay down on the sofa and took out a bow-tie voice changer from his pocket.

He has thoroughly studied this voice changer.

You can adjust the sound and change the timbre simply by turning the two knobs on the back, and it is completely unaffected by electromagnetic waves.

With this, even if time were to switch places again, he could handle many things on his own, without needing Ran Mouri to do anything anymore.

Given Ran Mouri's personality, it was impossible for her to become an accomplice with him.

What's more, she has Shinichi Kudo by her side, someone she can never let go of.

They are naturally on the opposite side.

If he were to go on a mission as Koniak one day, she might betray him.

fair enough.

We're from completely different worlds, so keeping our distance is better for both of us.

He stood up and left again.

……

"Damn it! Why is that devil in the base again?!"

Upon seeing Kognac, Vodka, who was drinking at the bar, cursed inwardly.

Normally I might not see him for half a year or more, but lately he's been coming so frequently.

Vodka put down his glass, trying to make himself inconspicuous, and prepared to slip away.

This jinx coming to the base is never good news; we'd better not get caught up in it.

Before Vodka had even gotten off the chair, the demon was already walking towards him.

The fiend rested one hand on the bar counter, casually glancing up at him.

Vodka observed it carefully.

The mood upon discovering this menacing figure was neither good nor bad; he was relatively safe.

He breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

A safe situation is fine, but I'm afraid of dangerous situations where people might start fighting at the slightest provocation; that's terrifying.

But the person in front of him spoke in a low, gloomy tone, which gave him goosebumps.

"Your photos are really nice, why didn't you take more?"

Vodka was stunned when he saw the menacing figure blocking his way.

It happened a few days ago, and there was no reaction at the time. Why are they only now coming to cause trouble for him?

Get sick!

"I just thought it looked nice, so I took a picture. My photography skills are pretty good, right? Haha..."

Vodka's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, darted around, constantly scanning his surroundings and calculating an escape route.

"Ha ha……"

The cold gaze was like that of a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, and a whispered warning rang in my ears.

"Don't let me find you around her again."

Vodka was still a little dazed when he saw Koniak leave.

He was terrified; he thought this evil spirit was about to attack.

So all they did was issue a warning?

After warning Vodka, Qingze went to the base's server room and entered the organization's intranet to get down to business.

He first reviewed several research papers and experimental data on the drug, and then opened the list of patients who had taken aptx4869.

The list includes many people who have taken the drug over the past two decades.

Aozawa's gaze swept from the first one to the last, landing on Shinichi Kudo.

This list has not been updated since Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo has also been confirmed dead.

But Shinichi Kudo's death was confirmed without even a funeral or seeing his body.

Qingze's gaze fell on the signature of the person who confirmed it.

Shirley.

It's a name that's completely unsurprising.

As a researcher of the drug, Sherry probably already knew about its effects, and she concealed the fact that Shinichi Kudo was still alive.

She escaped the base because she took drugs and crawled into the ventilation duct, a place an adult couldn't possibly fit into, using the size of a child.

As for her current identity, it's easy to guess.

Chapter 104 I Don't Like Her

Among Conan Edogawa's friends, isn't there a girl with short brown hair?

A mocking smile appeared on Qingze's lips.

Sherry, Bourbon, Kir, the FBI… Shinichi Kudo has quite a few powerful allies around him.

Vermouth and Bourbon blew up a section of the train in an attempt to kill Sherry, but Sherry was perfectly fine. It's unclear what they killed.

But what is the success rate of shrinking after taking aptx4869?

He opened the retrieval logs for aptx4869.

In addition to the more distant records, Gin took one this year and used it on Shinichi Kudo.

Vermouth took an ATpx4869, which was made during the time of Elena Miyano, about two months ago, but there is no record of its use.

It's possible it was used, but not registered.

He took two last time, and they're still in the safe.

I thought this drug would be good for assassination, so I took it, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

A wicked idea popped into Qingze's mind.

Should we feed that brat another one and see if he dies?
