In Conan, I have become smaller no matter what

The next night, the Mori Detective Agency

"Ah! Did you pass by Shinichi-nii in Shibuya?"

Conan was stunned when he heard Xiaolan's angry story. How could it be possible? Haven't I been at the office today?

Who am I when you meet Shinichi?

Seeing that Conan didn't believe it, Xiaolan said excitedly, "This is absolutely true."

Then the mood became a little depressed.

"I didn't expect that he didn't say hello to me! Isn't that too much?"

Conan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He had never been to Shibuya today, okay? He was really sitting at home and coming from the sky.

Uncle Maori, who was drinking beer, complained, "I think he's probably had enough of you, so just leave that reasoning fool alone, okay?"

Maple Leaf, who had just come out of the shower, also added, "Maybe he is walking with that girl!"

Then he walked to Xiaolan, sat down and comforted him, "Sister Xiaolan, don't be sad, I'll help you teach that bastard a lesson next time you see him!" But he kept staring at Conan.

Conan broke into a cold sweat, hey hey hey! Can you please stop igniting the flames?

But this guy Maple Leaf has been looking at me, does he know his identity?

Then the person he saw after being fed that strange drug was indeed this guy.

What Conan couldn't figure out was what did this guy mean when he greeted Kudo Shinichi himself in the victim's study last time?

on purpose? Or does it have any deeper meaning?

Xiaolan felt a little better after hearing her brother's words.

"Thank you Maple Leaf! But you'd better dry your hair quickly, otherwise you'll catch a cold again."

"Oh!"

Uncle Maori put down the beer in his hand and asked, "By the way, is what you just said true? Don't you want me to catch some strange thief?"

"It's Phantom Thief No. 1412!"

Xiaolan looked at her father speechlessly, are you listening to me?

"Oh! Who is he?"

Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know his origins very well, but Yuanzi said that he is a thief who targets famous jewelry from all over the world."

"That's why he was given the number 1412, but Japan seems to have given him another nickname."

Maple Leaf, who was about to turn on the hair dryer, paused for a moment. Isn't this Phantom Thief No. 1412 the Phantom Thief Kidd?

Speaking of which, he has been interested in Kidd's equipment for a long time.

But I really can't remember where Kidd lives, and there's no way I can look for it. This is an opportunity.

Conan was speechless after hearing this. He was really good at talking nonsense, but he was just a thief. He was not interested. He just said hello and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something, took out a piece of letter paper from her pocket, and said, "By the way! I heard that No. 1412 also sent a very strange notification letter. Come to Yuanzi's house to inform them when they will show up."

"Strange notification letter?" Uncle Maoli was a little confused.

"They don't understand what it means at all, it's like a code!"

"Secret code?" Conan stopped, I wouldn't be sleepy if you said that.

Uncle Maori took the letter and said, "Aprilfool, when the moon separates the two of them, I will collect it with the invitation of the waves. Phantom Thief...can't you see the words behind it clearly?"

Xiaolan explained, "The father of Yuanzi who received this letter was so angry that he tore up the letter on the spot. Yuanzi then glued the pieces together and made copies."

"Except for saying that I want to show up on April Fool's Day, I don't even know what it means!"

Conan squeezed his way to the uncle's side and ignored the uncle's complaints, staring at the code on the letter and thinking deeply.

Maple Leaf, who had dried her hair a few times, also came to Xiaolan and said, "Sister Xiaolan! Take me with you tomorrow too!"

"Hey! Do you want Maple Leaf to come too?"

Xiaolan was a little surprised. Why did her brother, who usually didn't go out very often, suddenly ask to be taken out today?

But it doesn’t matter, I just went out to relax, what’s it like to stay at home all day?

Then he said with a smile, "Then let's get together tomorrow! I just want to introduce you to my good friend Yuanzi. She has been complaining to me for a long time, and she has a younger brother who she won't let her see."

Conan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Maple Leaf. This guy is a little abnormal!

Maple Leaf ignored it and turned back to his room to sleep. He couldn't remember where Kidd showed up.

As for what the secret code fee is for, I can just follow Conan and find the right one.

……

Maple Leaf got up early the next day and looked at Conan who was still sleeping soundly beside him, feeling speechless.

This kid chanted the secret code all night last night, and he was really persistent.

After dressing and washing, Maple Leaf prepared breakfast for everyone before going out.

He had to go to the apartment and bring the crossbow with him. He was pretty good at scaring little kids.

Moreover, if Kidd did not compromise, he would have no choice but to resort to the threat of force.

Speaking of which, I haven't been to the apartment for almost a month since the equipment was changed and I was injured. It feels strange.

Half an hour later, Maple Leaf took the elevator up to the 17th floor, but when he approached the door of the room, he stopped and quietly twisted the bracelet.

Someone had been to his apartment, and he had rented it because there was no one on this floor. There were signs of people living around it.

And the traces he put on the door frame were gone, and the door handle was spotless.

What's going on? All the thieves have been stolen from him, right?

When he gently opened the door and saw the familiar figure inside through the crack of the door, he lowered his guard.

Inside the room was Asai Makoto, carrying breakfast to the living room.

Maple Leaf was a little strange, when did this guy come to Tokyo, why didn't he tell him, and how did he live in the apartment.

After thinking so much, it was better to ask directly. Then Maple Leaf opened the apartment door and walked in.

And Makoto Asai also spotted Maple Leaf who was changing shoes in the entrance, and shouted in surprise, "Maple Leaf!"

Then he said, "Oh no! I only prepared one breakfast, please wait while I go..."

Maple Leaf walked to sit opposite Makoto Asai and said, "No need! I had already eaten when I came here."

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "When did you come to Tokyo? Why didn't you say anything to me?"

Asai honestly explained, "On the third day after you left, I paid my respects to my family and came over, but I didn't dare to go to the office to look for you, for fear that they would find out something."

Eh! Maple Leaf was stunned for a moment, so it was his problem. Thinking about it, it was indeed his thinking that had not changed. There were no mobile phones when he went to Moon Shadow Island, but fortunately he has them now.

However, he was so likely to admit that it was his own problem and changed the subject, "Then how did you move in? I remember I didn't give you the key!"

"Uh...that's it!" Asai Makoto felt a little embarrassed.

He twisted and explained, "When I came here, I found you were not there, and I didn't dare to go to the office to find you. After waiting for two days, I didn't have enough money to rent a house."

"So I checked and found the agent who said she was your girlfriend and gave me the spare key."

Maple Leaf couldn't help but shuddered, what a girlfriend.

However, the security of this rented house is not high, and the spare key was defrauded.

He didn't bother to investigate what was going on because he didn't make it clear first.

Moreover, Asai Makoto seems to have given all his savings to his uncle as a commission fee, otherwise he would not be able to afford the rent.

Moreover, the training equipment he had previously placed in the living room has also been put away, and there are one or two pieces of furniture, which is quite similar.

When Maple Leaf didn't respond, Asai asked honestly, "By the way, Maple Leaf! What do I need to do?"

Maple Leaf thought for a moment that there seemed to be no activity recently. If he could find Kidd, he could do it alone.

"You don't need it for now. I'll give you the card later and rent a place to set up a clinic for now! You don't have to save money for me. Just try to make it as complete as possible. I'll figure out how to fund it."

After a pause, he added, "Call me boss from now on... Also, change your voice back for me."

Asai Makoto was a little confused, although the temperament of Maple Leaf in front of him was seriously inconsistent with his age.

But when an eight or nine-year-old kid asked him to call him "boss" very seriously, I felt strange.

But he still spoke in a male voice, "Okay... okay, boss!"

After all, the little kid in front of him not only knew everything about him, but he was also probably the one who helped him get revenge. He was also the benefactor of his family, so it didn't matter if he called him boss.

Maple Leaf's head hurt when he heard it, why was it even weirder now that it was a male voice?

He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, forget it! You'd better change it back!"

"Oh!……"
