I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of Coke and said to Kuroba Kaito on the other end of the phone.

Although he knew that students in this world were extremely free individuals, he still felt deeply moved by the freedom that high school students had. He wished it was like this when he was in high school in his hometown.

"You asked me where Kudo Shinichi is now? Didn't I tell you before? Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Is he at your house now? Okay, I'll come over later."

The call ended hastily. Xiang Yuanguang yawned and drank the rest of the Coke. He knew that his rest time would probably have to be temporarily suspended until this matter was resolved.

The lazy detective and lawyer's assistant in the office is still continuing her sweet dream. I won't call her this time. Anyway, she doesn't know that Kudo Shinichi is Edogawa Conan.

After the murder case of Kaito Kid was over, he had talked to Kaito Kid alone. Kaito Kid was very curious about where the real Kudo Shinichi had gone. He, who never liked to lie, told the truth directly——————

[Kudo Shinichi was fed a special drug and turned into an elementary school student. ]

However, Kaito Kidd had an expression of complete disbelief and ran away angrily. It was a pity that no one believed him when he told the truth.

"Should we take Conan with us when we go to see Haibara Ai...?"

The blue hedgehog rubbed his chin, remembering the events of last night.

The former savior of the Japanese police, the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi, and now the god of death elementary school student Edogawa Conan, decided to restore his identity as Kudo Shinichi after the diplomatic embassy murder case.

Then last night, with the idea that he would die if he didn't succeed, he drank half a bottle of Lao Baigan in Dr. Agasa's research institute, and ended up passing out. He called me in the middle of the night to ask what was going on.

So I recalled the situation to Yuan Guang. In the original plot, both Huiyuan Ai and Conan seemed to have used Lao Baigan to recover their previous bodies. At that time, Conan had a cold, and Huiyuan Ai seemed to claim that she had a cold...

So, he said to Conan earnestly——————[You can imagine the terror of the Black Organization, and then try again by claiming you have a cold. Anyway, this kind of medicine is unscientific, so it's normal to be a little idealistic.]

Conan, who showed off the remaining half bottle of Lao Baigan, has not replied yet. Xiang Yuanguang feels that unless he goes to Dr. Agasa's research institute now, he probably won't be able to wake Conan up...

"…Forget it, let's go to Professor Agasa and ask Conan to come along."

Chapter 474: First meeting with Kuroba Chikage

—————June 1, 11:20 a.m.——————

—————Yika Town, Dr. Agasa's House——————

When the speedy blue hedgehog arrived at the home of his loyal Professor Agasa, the Elementary School Death Student was still unconscious, and was suspected to be meeting with his boss, a real Death God, to exchange business capabilities.

In response to this, Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin with some confusion and looked at Dr. Agasa next to him, and the fat Dr. Agasa also turned his head to look at him.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, are you sure that drinking Shirakan wine can make Shinichi return to normal? But he drank the whole bottle of Shirakan wine that Hattori Heiji brought yesterday, and there was no change."

Dr. Agasa asked doubtfully.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is really no change. At least now Conan is still sleeping peacefully, and his sleep quality is much better than his usual sleep. There are two blushes on his face, making him look much more likable.

"I remember it was white liquor. Maybe the purity is wrong. I'll call Hattori Heiji and ask him if the liquor he bought is different from the liquor he usually puts in the cylinder."

The blue hedgehog said quite seriously that it was a big deal that Conan couldn't change back... Probably. Apart from Mao Lilan, even Kudo Yusaku and his wife seemed to be happy about it.

He had the impression that Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko had disguised themselves as strangers and lived next to Mori's office more than once, just to take more photos for collection when Conan wasn't noticing.

Perhaps the words "Shiganjiu" and "purity" hurt the heart of the elementary school student of Death God, and Edogawa Conan suddenly opened his eyes at this moment. He stood up - but did not get up.

Finally, he propped himself up and stood up from the bed, stared at the blue hedgehog standing beside the bed with an unfriendly look, and finally opened his mouth to ask.

"Xiang Yuan, are you sure that you can really get rid of this unscientific drug effect by drinking? You didn't really see this method in a boy's comic and then use it to experiment on me, did you?"

Conan's tone of voice was a little strange, which might be the effect of a hangover. He just sat on the bed and was even unwilling to take two steps on the ground because he would probably lie on the ground after walking two steps.

In fact, if you say that this is what Xiang Yuanguang saw in a boys' comic, it is actually correct. Detective Conan can probably be counted in the general category of boys' comics.

However, Xiang Yuanguang rationally did not nod in agreement, otherwise Conan would probably take out his universal anesthetic watch and give him an injection - even though it might not be of any use to him, there would be no benefit in doing so.

"Conan, I brought you good news——————"

Xiang Yuanguang stretched out his tone and then spoke seriously.

"The Black Organization scientist who created APTX-4869, the [Shirley] you mentioned, has been found."

"I have to congratulate you on taking the difficult first step towards becoming Kudo Shinichi again!"

"I believe that it will only take half a year at most for you to return to your original appearance!"

...Probably. At least in his impression, the Conan plot took only about half a year from the beginning to the end.

The Death God Elementary School Student fell into silence. He looked up at Xiang Yuanguang with some suspicion, and finally nodded and said.

"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Go find her now. I've waited long enough!"

—————June 1, 11:30 a.m.——————

—————Tokyo area, Kuroba family——————

If the little girl's body temperature had not shown an obvious natural downward trend, Kuroba Kaito would have planned to send her directly to the hospital for treatment - but now, he decided to wait and see.

Haruka still remembers that the great wind magician once said with certainty that there was a drug that could turn an adult into an elementary school student. Kudo Shinichi suffered greatly from it, but Kuroba Kaito didn't believe it at all.

He even said bluntly at the time——————[Why don’t you tell me that there is a magic or magic item in the world that can make people young again, and where is the medicine that can make people young again. ]

As a retired lady thief, Kuroba Chikage originally planned to fly back to Las Vegas to reunite with Kuroba Toichi once things here had calmed down a bit.

But before she left, she accidentally discovered that her older son was holding an unconscious little girl in loose clothes, hiding his whereabouts while rushing home, so her itinerary was changed.

For example, now Kuroba Chikage really wants to know why Kuroba Kaito took an unconscious little girl back to his home instead of handing her over to the police.

"Terai, is what Kaito said true?"

Kuroba Chikage's gaze fell on Terai Huangzhisuke, who was a little nervous beside him. As a key assistant of two generations of Kaito Kid, Terai Huangzhisuke only felt that his conscience was being tortured.

Because it's not that Kuroba Kaito didn't mention this matter, but he complained about this drug that "can turn an adult into an elementary school student" in a tone of "The damn blue hedgehog is fooling me again."

This means that Kuroba Kaito himself does not believe in the existence of this drug. Now Kuroba Kaito is using this as an excuse to deceive his biological mother, which makes him feel at a loss as to whether to say anything or not.

The Phantom Thief Lady and the second Phantom Thief Kid stared at Terai Huang Zhisuke's rapidly changing expression. Finally, the mother and son turned their heads tacitly and stopped putting pressure on their old friend——————

"Mom, my animal friend will be here soon, and he can testify for me!"

Kuroba Kaito continued speaking seriously.

"…your animal companion?"

Hei Yu Qianying's eyes were even more suspicious. This was not a fairy tale, so where did the animal companions come from?

Are you going to say later, this is the little rabbit, this is the little cat, and this is the Sky Thunder Arceus?

Crunch——————

The locked front door of the Kuroba family was pushed open, and Xiang Yuanguang arrived at the battlefield carrying the little Conan.

Although he didn't know what the current situation was, after his eyes wandered between Kuroba Chikage, Kuroba Kaito, and Terai Huang Zhisuke, he made a decision.

"Hey, Kaito Kidd, give me that little girl behind you."

Faced with such a conversation that was like someone just runs away after getting the goods, the second-generation Kaito Kidd replied unhappily.

"If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself."

The Phantom Thief Lady turned her head and glanced at Xiang Yuanguang and Conan, then focused her attention on Xiang Yuanguang's hair. Looking at the iconic hedgehog head, she nodded secretly in her heart.

It seems that the animal friend that Kaito was talking about was the famous lawyer Mukai Genmitsu, whom she had met several times. If it was what he said, then it might have some credibility.

After all, given the special situation where a loud shout resulted in a strong wind, it's hard not to suspect that this barrister had mastered some kind of magic that only exists in games or comics.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, nice to meet you. I am Hei Yu Qianying, the mother of this child——————"

"I have something to ask you, do you have time now?"

He sighed, nodded to Genkou, and put Conan aside.

"I'm free now, Madam Kuroba, please ask."

Chapter 475: Unboxing Day

Kuroba Chikage, formerly the famous Phantom Thief "Phantom Thief Lady", was rescued by the first generation Phantom Thief Kid, Kuroba Toichi, and became Kuroba Toichi's wife and the mother of Phantom Thief Kid.

Xiang Yuanguang had to admit that although this was his first meeting with Hei Yu Qianying, he always had a feeling that he had seen her somewhere before - but that didn't matter.

He patted the head of the Death God Elementary School Student who was still a little unsteady on his feet, let the Death God Elementary School Student play by himself, and then repeated his previous words.

"Mrs. Kuroba, what do you want to ask me? If I know, I will answer you."

Kuroba Chikage's gaze lingered for a moment on Conan, who was walking unsteadily with a blush on his cheeks. Although Conan had deliberately tried to get rid of the alcohol on his body before coming, for the former Phantom Thief——

There is no point in covering it up like this, but it should be enough to fool people who are not very sensitive to it. However, she doesn't seem to have heard of the famous detective Kudo Shinichi's alcoholism...?

"Mr. Gen, Kaito said that there is a drug in the world that can make those who take it rejuvenate, and the famous detective Kudo Shinichi is one of the people who took this drug and became smaller."

"So, this drunk kid is the so-called Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi?"

Although Kuroba Chikage's voice was not loud, it was extremely lethal to Conan. His gaze suddenly turned and fell on Xiang Yuanguang - if he really was an alcoholic, he would not have drunk a bottle of white liquor and passed out until now!

The Shinigami student approached Kuroba Kaito and said unhappily.

"Xiang Yuan, please explain to me why I drink too much."

The blue hedgehog raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and finally said sincerely.

"Oh, if you want to say it is, then it is. As for why he became an alcoholic? It's because I found a kind of wine that can offset the effect of that drug. Then he drank a whole bottle overnight and that's it."

It's outrageous enough that there is a drug in the world that can make people shrink from big to small, but they also say that there is a kind of wine that can offset the effect of this drug and make people grow from small to big——————

Hei Yu Qianying was silent for a moment, then she asked again.

“…Did it change back?”

"Well, apparently, not yet."

Xiang Yuanguang scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

Then, in Heiyu Qianying's eyes, the truth of the matter is actually very obvious.

All those drugs and alcohol were just excuses. There were no such things in the world. Xiang Yuanguang was just fooling her eldest son, and her eldest son used that to fool her.

If there was something that Kuroba Kaito was hiding from her, it was probably about the Black Organization. After accidentally discovering Vermouth at the airport, she had been paying attention to the situation.

Therefore, Kuroba Chikage actually knew about the shooting situation near the courtroom. Before the shooting started, someone reminded Xiang Yuanguang to take cover, and the person who reminded him was, as expected, Kuroba Kaito.

(Kaito and Mugen-Kuang have such a good relationship, and it was a special operation of the Public Security Bureau. Does this mean that Kaito has reached a cooperative relationship with the Public Security Bureau?)

The former phantom thief lady's thoughts raced, unaware that Xiang Yuanguang had not actually lied to her——————"...Are you really Kudo Shinichi?"

After entering the room, Kuroba Kaito secretly glanced at the situation outside, and then whispered to the Shinigami elementary school student next to him, but the Shinigami elementary school student just looked up and looked at Kuroba Kaito with an inexplicable look.

The famous Kaito Kid tried hard to maintain his poker face, but he still couldn't hold it together in Conan's sight, because he suddenly recalled the last scene on the Queen Serissabeth.

The guy who looked like an elementary school student kicked a football and directly knocked his hang glider off the line. He had no choice but to abandon the hang glider and land on the Queen Theresabeth nearby.

Otherwise, he would probably see the news on the next day about Kaito Kid killing someone and fleeing the scene.

"As you can see, I am Kudo Shinichi."

Conan gave the final answer directly. Now that the Black Organization has been hit and has fallen silent, and Kaito Kid is considered trustworthy, hiding the identity does not seem so important.

"Although I don't remember it clearly now, I remember that I met a thief who claimed that he wanted to steal the clock from the clock tower. Xiang Yuan told me that the person who did this was you, the Kaito Kidd."

"So we actually fought each other a long time ago, but you and I didn't know each other's name and identity——————"

Kuroba Kaito's memory suddenly flashed back to the operation in the tower. At that time, the police's investigation intensity had inexplicably risen to a higher level, and the commander was not the original Inspector Nakamori, but another person.

Later, when he arrived at the tower, a man on a plane used a pistol to shoot off the white cloth covering the clock, almost destroying his reputation as the second generation of Kaito Kid.

However, Kuroba Kaito later failed to find out who it was from Inspector Nakamori, and the commander at the time had no intention of introducing himself. Therefore, it was not until now, when Conan's story was brought up again, that Kuroba Kaito finally remembered the matter!

"Hey, there really is a drug in this world that can make people rejuvenate? It sounds like a prop from a comic book or a sci-fi movie."

Kaito Kidd II finally believed what Yuan Guang said, and roughly confirmed that Conan's true identity was indeed the famous detective who confronted him in the clock tower.

"So, there's no need for you to pretend to be asleep anymore. Both I and Kaito Kidd can actually tell whether you are awake or not, but we just don't intend to expose you directly."

"Now that you know that I am the Kudo Shinichi who became smaller by taking APTX4869, you should have something to say to me, right? If you don't have anything to say, then I have something to say to you."

Conan pushed up his glasses, and a flash of white light appeared.

"Ms. Shiho Miyano, codenamed Shirley, a scientist of the Black Organization and one of the researchers of the drug APTX4869, may I ask what you think of the drug APTX4869?"

"This kind of [poison] has a mortality rate of almost 100%, and after causing death, the autopsy personnel cannot find the specific cause of death. It must have taken a lot of effort and money to research it, right?"
