Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

After school, Shiraishihara walked home alone.

Although Teitan High School's clubs are still recruiting, he has no intention of joining any of them.

Shiraishihara's house was very close to Kudo's residence. As he passed by, he happened to see a woman who looked flustered.

This woman was stunningly beautiful and had an elegant demeanor, making an excellent first impression.

She was wearing a thin dress, perhaps because she was chasing after the garbage truck and didn't have time to change her clothes.

She wasn't wearing a bra, and her full breasts were almost spilling out, which Shiraishihara could see clearly. Her beautiful breasts, like mutton fat jade, were truly stunning.

Filled with curiosity, he fixed his gaze on the woman's face, wanting to see who she was.

The woman had long, wavy orange hair and delicate, beautiful features that would make anyone who saw her fall in love with her.

"Huh? Isn't this woman Shinichi Kudo's mother?"

Shiraishihara recognized her immediately; Shinichi Kudo's mother was no ordinary person—she was a top star who was incredibly popular back in the day. As expected of a big star, even though Shinichi Kudo is so grown up, she, as his mother, is still so young and beautiful.

"Phew...that was close...I almost missed the garbage truck..." Yukiko Kudo stretched out her lotus root-like arms and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Excuse me... are you the lady of this mansion?"

Shiraishihara stepped forward to ask her questions, and took the opportunity to get a closer look at her, openly admiring her figure.

"Eh? You are..." The woman blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared. She found that the person in front of her was a boy about the same age as her son, handsome and extraordinary, even more handsome than her son whom she was so proud of.

"My name is Shiraishihara, and I live around here. Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, you're Shinichi Kudo's mother, right?"

Yukiko was initially a little bothered by the other person calling her "auntie," but since the other person recognized her as Shinichi's mother, she didn't care anymore.

"Eh? You're Shinichi's classmate?" Yukiko Kudo's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

003 Days

Chapter 3

“That’s right, I’m Shinichi Kudo’s classmate,” Shiraishi replied with a smile.

"Oh, so you're Shinichi's classmate!" Upon learning that the other person was her son's classmate, Yukiko Kudo smiled elegantly. "Shiraishi-san, how is my Shinichi doing at school? Has he caused any trouble for anyone?"

"To be honest, Kudo-kun has been missing for quite a while now, and I was just about to ask you about it, Auntie."

Shiraishihara said this on purpose, trying to get some information out of Kudo Yukiko. According to his understanding, Kudo Yukiko should be in New York right now, so why was she back home? Had the plot changed?

"Ah...yes, yes...Shinichi...has run into some trouble and can't go back to school for the time being," Yukiko Kudo replied guiltily.

"So, Auntie, you made a special trip back to Tokyo from New York for Kudo-kun, right?"

Shiraishi analyzed that, logically speaking, after such a serious incident involving their son, the Kudo couple would not sit idly by and remain in New York as usual, ignoring the situation.

The behavior of the Kudo couple in the anime was somewhat illogical, and this world must have corrected that contradiction.

"Huh? How do you know everything..." Yukiko Kudo seemed a little flustered.

"I'm very concerned about Kudo-kun. Is there anything I can do to help..."

Shiraishihara moved closer to Kudo Yukiko, and he got a clear look at her full breasts, which trembled slightly with her breath and were wrapped in a thin dress. He had to admit that Kudo Shinichi's mother had a really hot figure.

"Shiraishi-kun, thank you for your kindness, but Shinichi is fine, you don't need to worry..."

After saying that, Yukiko Kudo hurriedly ran home, leaving Shiraishihara with only a gentle breeze carrying the scent of a young woman.

She dared not let Shiraishihara see through her disguise, after all, her son, Shinichi Kudo, had now become the elementary school student Conan Edogawa.

Shiraishihara watched Yukiko Kudo's retreating figure, stroking his chin thoughtfully: "Now that Yukiko Kudo has returned to Tokyo, Yusaku Kudo must have done the same. I'm afraid Yusaku Kudo has already begun investigating the Black Organization."

Yusaku Kudo is much more reliable than Shinichi Kudo, but unfortunately, there is no antidote for APTX4869, so Yusaku Kudo is destined to waste his efforts.

After all, APTX4869 was originally developed as a drug to achieve rejuvenation, but the success rate is just too low.

That said, Yukiko Kudo is truly beautiful. She is arguably the most elegant woman Shiraishihara has ever seen. No wonder she is a legendary superstar; she is far beyond the reach of ordinary women.

Shiraishi was thinking about finding an opportunity to get closer to this woman. Just then, a bespectacled elementary school student carrying a small schoolbag suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Who are you? Shinichi-nii doesn't have a classmate like you!"

Shiraishi's pupils contracted slightly. Speak of the devil, and he appears; right before him stood Conan Edogawa. However, for the moment, he had to pretend he didn't recognize him.

"Little friend, who are you?"

"I am Conan Edogawa, Shinichi's best friend. Shinichi doesn't even know you!"

"But I really am Shinichi Kudo's classmate."

As he spoke, Shiraishihara took out his student ID and waved it in front of Conan Edogawa.

Conan Edogawa looked closely and realized it was true; moreover, the other person was in the same class as him.

"How is this possible!" Conan Edogawa exclaimed in shock.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Conan Edogawa's confused look, Shiraishihara didn't intend to make things difficult for him.

"Actually, I just transferred to Teitan High School and was in Class B of the second year. I heard the rumors about Shinichi Kudo and was curious about where he went."

After hearing Shiraishihara's explanation, Conan Edogawa was finally relieved.

"You should have said so earlier... Shinichi-nii was just investigating a case, that's why he disappeared for a while. He'll be back at school soon."

"Little friend, do you really think you can believe such a flawed lie?"

"Hey!" Conan looked up and saw Shiraishihara looking at him with a half-smile. He immediately felt a little guilty. "It's not a lie!"

"Hehehe... What kind of case could make a high school student disappear for so long without any news?"

Shinichi Kudo is no ordinary person; he's a famous high school detective who's even been featured in the newspapers.

"You suddenly disappeared for such a long time, do you think people wouldn't be suspicious? Do you think everyone's a fool?"

In fact, everyone seemed to be acting like fools, and no one suspected anything. But Shiraishihara was definitely not that kind of person.

"Ahhh-"

Conan Edogawa was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

He could only grit his teeth and continue, "Anyway, that's the truth. Believe it or not, I believe it."

Seeing this, Shiraishihara chuckled a few times. Too lazy to beat around the bush with Edogawa Conan any longer, he simply got straight to the point.

"You're Shinichi Kudo, didn't I tell you?"

004 Kogoro Mori

Chapter 4

"Ah! I'm not...Shinichi Kudo!"

"Fine. If you don't want to admit it, then so be it. Anyway, I already know the truth."

Shiraishi shrugged, not taking the matter too seriously.

He wasn't part of the organization, so he had no interest in playing that over 1,000-episode guessing game with Conan Edogawa.

He approached Conan Edogawa simply to ride on his protagonist's coattails.

Whether Conan Edogawa admits it or not is irrelevant to him.

Shiraishi ignored Conan and walked straight home. His apartment was very close to the Kudo family's house; it was only a short walk away.

When he got home, he found that Conan was still following him.

"Edogawa Conan, what are you trying to do by following me?" Shiraishi said, inviting Edogawa Conan into the house and asking him to sit down and talk.

Conan Edogawa looked around Shiraishihara's rented apartment, then cut to the chase and asked, "Shiraishihara-nii, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"This is our first time meeting, so why do you think I'm Shinichi Kudo?"

"intuition."

"Intuition? That works too?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Uh-huh."

"The truth is, I know everything about you, including why you turned into a child."

Shiraishi Hara didn't want to beat around the bush with Edogawa Conan anymore, so he made his point clear. He felt there was no need to act with Conan; pretending not to know when you know his identity was too tiring.

"what!"

Conan's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"If you don't believe me, feel free to ask me anything, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Shiraishihara doesn't owe the Black Organization anything, so there's no need for him to conceal information from them. He could simply tell Conan directly.

"The premise is that you don't go around telling everyone."

He reminded Conan not because he was afraid of the Black Organization, but mainly because he was afraid of trouble. He didn't want to deal with the Black Organization, always feeling that the people in that organization weren't very bright.

"Of course I wouldn't talk nonsense; I still want to live."

Conan answered with a pained expression. Unlike his mother, who was all talk and no action, he was quite composed. After a moment's thought, he asked Shiraishihara some questions. Shiraishihara answered them fluently, without concealing any relevant information.

This includes the drug he took, APTX4869; the organization he provoked, the international criminal organization "The Raven"; and the code name of the two men in black who turned him into a child...

After hearing Shiraishihara's answer, Conan couldn't find any flaws; it was all true! At this point, he had no choice but to believe Shiraishihara; he had no other options. If Shiraishihara were an enemy, he'd probably be finished by now.

"So, Shinichi Kudo, are you satisfied with my answer?"

"Yes." Conan looked helpless. "You're right, my real identity is indeed Shinichi Kudo."

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Conan's eyes, and he pressed, "Shiraishihara, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?"

"I'm sorry, I have no comment." Shiraishihara chose not to answer, since Conan couldn't do anything about it anyway.

"..." Conan fell silent. He really couldn't get Shiraishihara to answer the question, so he could only keep it to himself.

Before they knew it, it was evening, and Conan had been at the Shiraishihara house for quite some time.

At that moment, Conan received a call from Ran Mouri, urging him to come home for dinner.

"I have to go back; my family is urging me to come home for dinner."

"I'll give it to you."

“No need,” Conan immediately refused. “You know I’m Shinichi Kudo.”

"It's alright. I was just wondering where you live. Maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future."

"Okay. Alright."

Conan decided to trust Shiraishihara for the time being and let him take him home.

On the way, he repeatedly told Shiraishihara to keep his secret, reminding him that he was now Conan Edogawa, not Shinichi Kudo.

Shiraishi took Conan home, which startled Ran Mouri, who came to greet him.

"Eh? It's you, Shiraishi-kun."

"I brought this child back."

"So... Conan was with you the whole time?"

"Yes."

Just as Ran was about to ask Shiraishihara why he was with Conan, she heard a series of "tap tap tap tap" footsteps coming from upstairs!

At the same time, the uncle's voice came.

"I'm here! Ouch!"

"Bang!"

"Ah! Dad! What are you doing?"

The three stared in disbelief as Kogoro Mouri tumbled down the steps, yet he still wore a look of surprise on his face.

Xiaolan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so agitated?"

Kogoro Mouri jumped up from the ground with a thud, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "It's a job! A rich man's daughter has been kidnapped! It's a man dressed in black!"
