After thinking it over, Conan felt that Shiraishihara was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he decided to go to his door and demand an explanation.

"Conan, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Shiraishihara, you know perfectly well that I am Shinichi Kudo, yet you still insist that I call you 'brother.' Do you think that's appropriate?"

"But you're no longer Shinichi Kudo, you're Conan Edogawa now. You have to accept that reality."

"..."

Conan's face darkened. Having no other choice, he could only obediently call out, "Brother Shiraishihara..."

Hearing the adorable Conan call him that, Shiraishihara finally let him into the house.

Shiraishi poured Conan a glass of soda and asked him what brought him here.

He knew perfectly well that Conan wouldn't come looking for him if he had nothing to do; he must have something to ask of him.

Conan didn't touch the soda; instead, he asked directly with a serious expression:

"Shiraishihara, I did a little investigation and found that you suddenly moved here recently."

I'm asking you, was your move here, and your transfer to my school and class, all planned in advance?

No. .

025 A sincere expression

Chapter 25

"It's not..."

"Then what exactly happened? Explain it to me clearly."

"I'm sorry, I have no obligation to explain to you."

Shiraishi Hara rejected Conan's request without hesitation.

To be honest, he really couldn't explain it. After all, the system had chosen him to travel to this world and become the Phantom Thief of Hearts. How could he possibly explain such a thing to Conan?

"You really do have ulterior motives."

"whatever you think."

"Then you at least have to tell me, how did you know I shrunk? And why do you know so much about what happened to me? Are you also a member of that organization?"

"I'm not a member of that organization."

Shiraishi Hara shook his head and said sincerely,

"All I can tell you is that I'm on your side, so you don't need to be afraid."

"..."

Conan doesn't actually trust Shiraishihara, but he has no other choice but to believe him.

The reason is simple: Shiraishihara knows his secret, and if the fact that he shrunk is revealed, he will be completely finished.

Seeing that Conan still harbored doubts about him, Shiraishihara handed him a document. The document contained detailed information about Gin and Vodka.

"This is……"

"It's the information on the two men in black who turned you into a child."

Compared to the Black Organization, Shiraishihara values ​​Conan more, after all, Conan is a "crime radar".

Giving Conan the information on these two men in black is just doing him a favor.

"This document..."

Gin, whose real name is Kurosawa Jin, is the third-in-command of the Black Organization. He serves as the security captain, responsible for the organization's security affairs, and is dedicated to eliminating the organization's enemies, traitors, and members whose identities have been exposed.

They are also responsible for important transactions and rescuing members who are valuable to the organization...

Vodka, whose real name is Saburo Uozuka, is an elite assassin in the organization. He obeys Gin's orders and assists Gin in completing various missions...

The materials not only include textual descriptions but also illustrations.

The two figures are sketched with a few simple strokes: the tall one wearing a hat is Gin, and the short one wearing sunglasses is Vodka.

How did you get their information?

"I won't tell you the source of the information, but I can assure you that it is true and reliable!"

In this way, Conan basically trusted Shiraishihara. However, there was still one thing that bothered him.

"Shiraishihara, since you say you're on my side, what is your purpose in approaching Ran?"

"This is... my personal matter, it's none of your business, Conan."

"I'm telling you right now, Ran is my girlfriend, so don't get too close to her. I don't care about Sonoko, but not Ran!"

"That can't be right. Xiaolan and you are just childhood sweethearts, don't try to fool me!"

Conan was immediately embarrassed. Indeed, Ran was not his girlfriend yet, so it seemed that he really had no right to stop other boys from getting close to Ran.

"It isn't now, but it will be someday."

"Conan, are you really planning to date Ran while you're in this child's body?"

"of course not!"

Instead of worrying about dating Xiaolan, you should think about how to get back to normal.

Shiraishi shook his head helplessly. Conan couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. He wasn't even sure if he could turn back into Shinichi Kudo, yet he was already worrying about dating Ran.

"Those are two different things."

"If you can't turn back into Shinichi Kudo, are you planning to make Ran wait forever?"

Shiraishihara spread his hands and said. Shiraishihara knew very well that the anime had aired for over a thousand episodes, spanning more than twenty years, yet Conan was still a first-grade elementary school student.

Who knows how long it will take for Conan to turn back into Shinichi Kudo?

Ran has been waiting for Shinichi Kudo for over twenty years. Although in the world of Detective Conan, only half a year has passed on the surface, according to the plot, over twenty years have indeed passed.

"You wait—I will definitely turn back into Shinichi Kudo."

"Hehehe..."

Shiraishihara's smile was full of mockery, leaving Conan speechless with frustration.

"hateful!"

Conan left Shiraishihara's apartment while cursing and swearing, heading home.

That's right, we're going back to the Kudo family home.

At this time, both Mr. and Mrs. Kudo were at home, and Conan planned to share the information he had obtained from Shiraishihara with his parents.

No. .

026 Top Beauty

Chapter 26.

……

Kudo's home.

There was a handsome middle-aged man with a mustache and glasses. He was none other than Yusaku Kudo, the world's number one mystery writer, who ranked high on the list of richest writers and was Conan's father.

There is another radiant lady who, even though she has been away from the entertainment industry for many years, has not lost any of her beauty. Instead, she has gained a mature and charming wifely aura, making her a top beauty. She is former actress Yukiko Kudo, Conan's mother.

It has to be said that Conan's family background is unparalleled, practically the standard for a protagonist in Versailles literature.

"Shin-chan, what's wrong? You look so upset."

When Yukiko Kudo saw her son return, she asked him with concern.

"Shinichi, don't worry too much. If it's just reversing aging, even without an antidote, you'll grow up normally, right?"

Kudo Yusaku was very interested in the changes in his son's body. If the medicine his son was taking could really reverse aging, it would definitely overturn the world's understanding.

"Ah... I wish it were just about turning back the clock. I'm afraid I'll always be a child."

Conan said, looking annoyed.

"If Shin-chan stays a child forever, wouldn't that be the same as immortality?"

Yukiko Kudo opened her mouth wide in surprise, her lips and tongue appearing exceptionally red and glistening, forming an "O" shape.

"I'm so envious, immortality!"

"Hahaha... No matter which situation it is, it's quite interesting."

Yusaku Kudo laughed without a care in the world.

"..."

Conan's face grew even darker. His parents not only showed no sympathy for him, but also teased him. He even wondered if he was a free gift with his parents' phone plan.

Conan, with a serious expression and solemn face, took out the information he had obtained from Shiraishihara.

"This is information I got from my classmate Shiraishihara. Take a look."

Conan spread the documents out on the table for his parents to refer to. "These are the identification details of the two men in black who turned me into a child."

The Kudo couple looked at the documents on the table and were both incredulous.

"Huh? Shin-chan, how did your classmate Shiraishihara manage to investigate so thoroughly?"

Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in surprise.

Compared to Yukiko Kudo's astonishment, Yusaku Kudo was even more shocked, as if he had been frozen in place.

"What exactly are the identities of these two people? What's going on?"

Yusaku Kudo stared at the information Conan had given him, lost in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

He was once the most famous detective in all of Japan, but due to practical considerations, he wanted to give Yukiko a stable home, so he switched to writing novels.

His return to Japan to investigate the Black Organization, in order to bring his son back to Japan, reignited his passion for detective work. However, the organization is far more complex than he imagined.

He learned from his friends in the Japanese Public Security Bureau that there were quite a few forces eyeing this organization!

Japanese Public Security Bureau, FBI, CIA, MI6 (British Secret Service), German Federal Intelligence Service...

This organization is being watched by intelligence agencies around the world.

What does this mean? It's obvious that this organization is hiding a shocking secret!

The deeper he investigated, the greater the obstacles he encountered; even his former police friend advised him to give up. In his friend's words, even if members of this organization flew planes to bomb Tokyo Tower, no one would care except Conan!

The fact that someone could discover the true identities of the two men in black even before him was something he dared not even think about.

"Shinichi, just who is this classmate of yours, Shiraishihara?"

“I don’t really know Shiraishihara very well. He only transferred to our school after I became a child. He knows everything about me and said he would help me, but I don’t know what his plans are.”

Yusaku Kudo held the documents but couldn't determine their authenticity.

"If the information is true, then Shiraishihara should be a friend, not an enemy."

“Yeah, I think so too.” Conan agreed with his father. “Dad, we need your connections to determine the authenticity of this information.”

"Yes, I know."

Yusaku Kudo nodded, but then a new question arose:

"How exactly did Shiraishihara find out about these two people's identities? More importantly, how did he know that you are Shinichi, and that you were shrunk by these two men in black with drugs?"

No. .

027 I really want a hug.

Chapter 27

Conan shrugged: "Shiraishihara won't say anything."

Yusaku Kudo suggested, "How about... I go see him... and ask him what's going on..."

Yukiko Kudo interjected, "Yusaku, what good will it do you to see him? Let me think of something!"
