Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Tokyo rice flower town

A good day starts by getting up from a comfortable bed.

Opening the door, Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who had been drinking wine early in the morning, lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and reading the local morning newspaper. He said hello listlessly:

"Good morning, Uncle Maoli, where is Sister Xiaolan?"

Seeing this brat looking for Xiaolan first when he first arrived, Mouri Kogoro shook the newspaper in his hand and said impatiently:

"She went out to see Sonoko. She didn't have breakfast, and she won't come back at noon. If you are hungry and go out to eat, remember to bring me a curry chicken bento when you come back. I have made an appointment with the client not to leave casually."

"?? Why don't Sister Xiaolan take me there? I haven't seen Sister Yuanzi for a long time."

The stupid hair on Conan's head stood up and he complained loudly. Then the impatient Mouri Kogoro picked up his collar and threw it out the door.

"Are you a follower and become a spirit? You don't even look at the injuries on your body. Are you going to be a light bulb to distract Xiaolan from taking care of you? The client is coming soon. You can go out to eat now. After you finish eating, go to the coffee shop downstairs. Sit in the shop for a while, play by yourself, and don’t come back before eleven o’clock.”

"Light bulb..., what kind of light bulb... Hey, uncle, please explain clearly... Hello...?"

Conan's reply was a stack of money thrown over and the door being closed with a bang.

Conan, who was locked out, was so anxious that he wouldn't introduce a partner to Xiaolan behind his back. No, he must interrupt this matter.

However, Xiaolan has already confirmed that he is Kudo Shinichi. If she calls Sonoko using Kudo Shinichi's identity, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?

But if he didn't call, he would have to watch Yuanzi introduce someone to Xiaolan. What if Xiaolan is attracted to that person?

No, absolutely not. As Conan went downstairs, he shook his head violently when he thought of this.

Counting the coins in his pocket, Conan stood in the phone booth, looked at the number buttons on it, and dialed a number.

Inside a cat cafe in Ginza, Tokyo

Suzuki Sonoko looked at her absent-minded good sisters, leaned towards her face ambiguously and said:

"What's wrong, Xiaolan, I obviously asked you out to relax, why do you look so distracted? Could it be that our Mrs. Kudo misses her husband?"

Mao Lilan blushed immediately after being mentioned, and then quickly changed the topic:

"What the hell, Mrs. Kudo... Sonoko, you are talking nonsense again. I was just thinking that Conan was injured at home, and I don't know if my father has taken good care of him."

Waving his hand indifferently, Suzuki Sonoko picked up the iced juice at hand and took a big sip.

"What nonsense? Even if it's not happening now, it will happen sooner or later in the future. I'll shout you a few more times in advance so that you can adapt in advance, right, Mrs. Kudo."

Mao Lilan, who was teased again, said angrily:

"In that case, I can call you Mrs. Kyogoku in advance."

Isn't this what she admitted? Suzuki Sonoko blinked and said that you can yell at her. If she blushes, she loses.

Her best friend's joke made Mao Lilan forget her worries about Conan. Seeing Xiaolan finally showing a happy smile from the bottom of her heart, Suzuki Sonoko picked up an awesome-looking short-haired cat that was walking around her feet, and happily enjoyed the happiness of petting the cat.

Mao Lilan, who was opposite, also picked up a snow-white ragdoll cat that suddenly jumped on the table. The sun outside the window was bright and bright, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Conan, who was hiding behind the telephone pole, looked at Xiaolan's pure happy smile and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head.

It turns out to be a cat.

Looking at the time on the watch, Conan turned around and left as secretly as when he came.

Thirty minutes later, when Suzuki Sonoko was about to take Xiaolan to have lunch, a guy in white clothes, black pants and a lavender apron opened the door of the cat cafe and walked in, and went straight to Xiaolan's table.

"Is this Miss Mao Lilan?"

"I am, what's the matter with this gentleman?"

Mao Lilan nodded doubtfully and confirmed that the other party was the customer he was looking for. The little brother handed over a long and beautifully packaged box.

"This is an item ordered by a customer named Detective Yoneka in our store. He named it and asked for it to be given to you. Please accept it."

A famous detective in Miwa Town? Is it Shinichi? Mao Lilan took the box in the eyes of Suzuki Sonoko watching the show, untied the ribbon on the box, Mao Lilan took a breath, and then solemnly opened it

A delicate and blooming red rose lies quietly in the box.

Suzuki Sonoko excitedly patted Xiaolan's shoulder, as if a hundred thousand groundhogs were screaming in her heart:

"Your Shinichi is so nice. He must have known that you were kidnapped two days ago, so he sent this specially to comfort you. Red roses, so romantic."

Mao Lilan, who was stimulated by the words "your new one", came back to her senses and noticed a blue post-it note hidden under the roses.

Picking up the rose, she laid it flat on the sticky note at the bottom of the box. Her familiar handwriting reflected on the paper.

"In the face of the truth, you will always be my first choice. A famous detective who wants to marry Miss Maori as his wife."

Yoneka Town Mori Detective Agency

Mouri Kogoro, who was about to fall down due to hunger, saw Conan coming in carrying a large bag, and quickly grabbed the paper bag from Conan's hand with the logo of the convenience store next door printed on it. I took out the bento and put it in the microwave:

"Why did you come back so late when you went out for dinner? What time is it now? I'm almost starving to death."

Carefully holding the cardboard box in his hand, Conan chuckled and walked towards his room, explaining:

"After I finished eating, I received news that something my mother had sent from abroad had been sent to Chuo Ward by mistake. Because I hadn't received anything from them for a long time, so I got excited and took the tram there to pick it up. I got an express. I didn’t forget it on purpose.”

Who knew you could be so lazy, even though there is a cafe downstairs, you could still be hungry and not go out.

Seeing Conan walk back to the room, Mouri Kogoro turned around and took out the heated lunch box from the microwave and ate it hungrily. Conan, who was halfway through his meal, said:

"That's right, kid. I'm going to the client to get the details tonight, so I won't eat at home. You can take care of dinner yourself. I'll put the money on the table in the living room before I leave."

Hearing "I know" from Conan's room, Mouri Kogoro continued to work hard.

In the evening, Mao Lilan, who had been shopping with Suzuki Sonoko all day, opened the door before the clock pointed to eight o'clock.

Looking at the dark living room, Mao Lilan was about to turn on the light when she saw Conan sitting cross-legged on the window sill of the living room on the third floor.

The moonlight shone on Conan through the window, and she saw the mature look in Conan's eyes that did not belong to a seven-year-old child.

Looking down at the rose in her hand, Mao Lilan put down her hand that was about to turn on the light and sat on the small sofa that was specially dragged to the window sill.

"Have you had dinner, Conan? Why don't you open it...?"

"Ran. I am not Edogawa Conan, I am Kudo Shinichi."

Conan, no, Kudo Shinichi interrupted Xiaolan's usual care. He watched the expression on Xiaolan's face change from the tenderness that suggested the elder sister's care to the calmness that was clear to the heart.

From being drunk by illegal organization members in an amusement park and accidentally shrinking in size, to learning about the size and terror of the black organization from the mouth of the billion-yen robbery mastermind Masami Hirota, whose real name is Miyano Akemi. After the black organization researcher now named Haibara Ai defected, he learned more about the transnational criminal organization whose code name was alcohol.

M16 of Taoshan Country, FBI and CIA of Berry Country, the new transfer student Sera Masumi in the class, Mr. Subaru Okiya who lives in Kudo's house, and the famous female anchor of Japanese radio station Miss Rena Mizuno.

Familiar people and names plus unfamiliar identities. Thinking of Shinichi in this terrifying whirlpool, tears fell from the corners of Mao Lilan's eyes.

Jumping to the ground, Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand to hold Xiaolan's face, and gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips. Then he let go of his hand and took a step back, saying seriously:

"I thought I could hide it from you. I would wait until I defeated the organization and obtained the drug information and the antidote. Then I would return to my 17-year-old self. I would kneel down in front of you and propose marriage to you. I would make a vow to never separate and then live happily ever after. spend your life.”

When he was first dosed with APTX-4869, he was in so much pain that he felt as if he had gone to Hiraizaka and saw the goddess of hell.

But as long as he thought of Xiaolan's painful tears when she saw his body, Kudo Shinichi desperately told himself in his heart

He can't die here, he has to live, he must live.

"Every time I see your disappointed expression when you receive the news that I can't come to investigate the case, or when you are in danger and can't see me, I want to rush out countless times and tell you that I am Kudo Shinichi, and I have always been by your side. around.

But I'm very scared. I'm afraid that the appearance of Kudo Shinichi will make the black organization notice you and Uncle Maori. I'm afraid that you will be hurt by them before I die and disappear into a corner that I can't see. "

Kudo Shinichi smiled bitterly.

"When I chose to follow Uncle Maori and Xiaolan, I originally wanted to better hide my identity and use my uncle's identity as a detective to find information about the black organization.

But later, when I realized that the black organization was not an ordinary illegal Yakuza force, the reputation of Uncle Mouri's sleeping Mouri Kogoro had already spread.

I deceived myself into thinking that this was helping Uncle Maori expand his business and become a famous detective, and I also wanted to use this to cover up the news about Kudo Shinichi. But in fact, I have discovered that my idea will only put the uncle in a dilemma. "

Because I couldn't bear to leave your side, I pretended not to know. Kudo Shinichi's expression became firm as he recalled his original state of mind.

Now he can no longer continue to pretend not to know as before. Almost two years have passed, and he has not even touched the core of the black organization, let alone destroying the organization and getting the antidote. Should Xiaolan be kept waiting? Do you hold on to him, wait until disappointment turns to despair, and then finally let him go?

"I will leave the office in a few days. Kudo Shinichi will completely declare his death on the social level. If the uncles and others ask about Edogawa Conan, you should tell them that Edogawa Conan received a mail from his mother from Berry Country. I just took the flight ticket back to Berry Fruit."

Mao Lilan stopped the tears on her face and spoke calmly:

"What about me? You have arranged everything, and where do you put me? Kudo Shinichi is dead, I can resume my old life, go to college after high school, work after college, pursue new love by the way, and finally get married. Give birth, right?

I thought you would have a showdown with me after you figured it out, but you still arranged my life in this way. I had the courage to face danger with you, but you would only keep me away. "

Kudo Shinichi was silent for a long time. Mao Lilan looked at it with cold eyes and stood up to turn on the light. Suddenly, the candlelight behind her quietly lit up. When Mao Lilan turned around, a handful of blooming roses was held in front of her by Kudo Shinichi:

"Lan, I have always been a coward when it comes to relationships, so I will be afraid and tempted, but the person I love is the Guandong Women's Taekwondo Champion, and her indomitable courage has also infected me.

So, Miss Maorilan, if Kudo Shinichi never appears in front of the world, are you willing to accept the marriage proposal of a kid named Edogawa Conan? Are you willing to become Edogawa Conan’s wife in twelve years? Wife, what about changing her name to Edogawa Ran? "

Xiaolan, if Kudo Shinichi never gets the antidote and recovers, are you willing to wait for him to grow up again? Are you willing to marry him and become his only lover to spend this life with him?

Kudo Shinichi felt uneasy in his heart, but Mao Lilan burst out laughing. She reached out to take the rose bouquet, inserted the one in her hand into the bouquet, and looked at the thirteen red roses in the bouquet, happily Went back to the room.

My lover in this life will only be you.

After receiving a silent answer, Kudo Shinichi looked at Mao Lilan's closed door, and after a long time he excitedly returned to his room next door.

This hateful, scheming brat.

Standing in front of the gate on the third floor, Mouri Kogoro stared at the door in front of him. The anger in his eyes wanted to pass through the door panel and burn the brat who lied to his daughter to death.

Because tonight's investigation went particularly smoothly, Mouri Kogoro, who had completed the commission ahead of schedule, was happily carrying a beer and preparing to go home just in time to catch up with the football match.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he heard the sound in the living room. The brat Kudo Shinichi is actually confessing to his daughter and asking his daughter to wait for him to grow up again.

And his daughter didn’t refuse, didn’t refuse, didn’t refuse! ! !

Mouri Kogoro, who was accidentally robbed, rushed to the office on the second floor carrying a beer. After putting down the beer, he started to call Kudo Yusaku. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Kudo Shinichi was so cunning, and his father was not a good person. When the call was connected, Mouri Kogoro was afraid of being discovered by the two people upstairs. Cursed in a low voice:

"Kudo Yusaku, come back quickly and take away that lousy son of yours. There is no room for him in my office anymore. This kid..."

After receiving the call, Kudo Yusaku thought that it was finally here. He listened to Mouri Kogoro's constant scoldings. He could only open his eyes and tell lies, and coax Mouri Kogoro over first.

"Really? It's really rude for Shinichi to do such a thing. Sorry, I'm going to call him and scold him right now..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Your son is already in danger, and now you want to drag Xiaolan into it. This is absolutely not allowed. If you don't take your son away, I will send Xiaolan there tomorrow. Yingli's place.

When I agreed to take in Kudo Shinichi, I was already prepared to step into danger. But Yingli and Xiaolan are my bottom line. They are my belief in living. They must not be involved in something as dangerous as the black organization. "

After listening quietly, Kudo Yusaku understood his thoughts, but as a father, he still wanted to help his son.

"Maoli, I know what you mean. You don't want Xiaolan to be affected by danger, but Shinichi has the same idea in his heart. He was once willing to pursue the truth like Sherlock Holmes and believed in the shark conclusion.

But now, Xiaolan's position in his heart is more important than the truth he has been chasing. If one day some harm really happens to Xiaolan, then the murderer will only have one possibility to do it, and that is to step on Shinichi's body.

As long as Xiaoxin lives, he will protect Xiaolan with all his strength and love. Unless he dies!

Therefore, as Xiaoxin’s father, I implore you to give him a chance. Time will prove everything. "

Mouri Kogoro finally hung up the phone silently. He opened the office drawer, took out a toothpick box placed in the corner, opened it, and looked at the anesthesia needles that were almost full inside, glowing coldly under the moonlight, revealing a sinister look. smile.

It's not that easy to marry his Mouri Kogoro's daughter.

Kudo Shinichi, who was sleeping happily, suddenly shivered, then turned over and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

One day later, Mao Lilan secretly asked Kudo Shinichi if she had promised him to leave the detective agency before, would he really leave Neon and go to Berry Country?

Kudo Shinichi smiled and shook his head, of course not. The one who left Neon will be Edogawa Conan who went to seek refuge with his mother. What does Kudo Shinji have to do with him?

"Kudo Shinji?"

Mao Lilan asked doubtfully, and Kudo Shinichi showed a sly smile.

"Yes, Kudo Shinji, the illegitimate son of the famous neon mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku, secretly recognized his son Kudo Shinichi after his death.

Because he was afraid of being discovered by his wife Kudo Yukiko, he left the child in Neon and entrusted it to his friend Kogoro Mori to raise him. He himself took his wife to live in Berry and left the sad land of Neon, but rarely returned to his hometown. look. "

Kudo Shinichi, who didn't care at all and labeled his father as a cheating scumbag, winked at Xiaolan mischievously.

In fact, in Berry Country, Kudo Shinichi had a complete set of perfect death and burial rituals and records, and even the tombstone could be found in a highly private cemetery. It's just that this information was kept secret by Kudo Yusaku.

Because Kudo Shinichi's mother, Kudo Yukiko, suffered from severe mental illness after her son's death, Berry's top psychotherapy institution has a complete set of medical records.

Kudo Yukiko always believed that her son was not dead. In order not to irritate his wife, on the advice of a psychiatrist, Kudo Yusaku kindly deceived his wife that their son was investigating the case in secret and it was not convenient for him to show up.

The call Xiaolan and Megure received from Kudo Shinichi was a detective specially hired by Kudo Yusaku to take his son's cell phone and wear a voice changer in disguise, in order to create traces of his son's existence. This was confirmed when I returned to Neonju for a short stay.

As for what other people see at banquets, cruises, school performances, etc., it is not Kudo Shinichi himself, but someone who looks like him, or Kaitou Kid disguised as him.

No matter which agency investigates, the final result will be that Kudo Shinichi is already dead. Those signs of activity were nothing more than an attempt to deceive a mother who had lost her only son.

"Uncle Kudo, does he know that you arranged it like this?"

Mao Lilan smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, and Kudo Shinichi simply shook his head.

"He didn't know. He originally thought that if you agreed to my leaving Neon and returning to Berry Country, then I would tell my father and ask him to make another identity document for me.

In this way, even if you marry Kudo Shinji, you will still be called Mrs. Kudo just like you marry Kudo Shinji. "

After saying that, Kudo Shinichi jumped up suddenly and avoided the leg kicked by Mao Lilan in anger.
