Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

"Hey, hey! Kudo, are you listening?"

"I'm here. By the way, why did you suddenly remember to call me? Did something happen to you?" After a brief moment of surprise, Conan came to his senses and asked directly about the purpose of Hattori Heiji's call.

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji on the other end of Faiz's phone quickly explained with a smile: "Kudo, what you said makes me seem like I have some intention. In fact, Kazuha has been urging me to invite you, Xiaolan and uncle to travel to Osaka. When the time comes, I, a local of Osaka, will treat you well~"

"That's it?"

"Of course, otherwise what purpose would I have."

Hearing Hattori Heiji's extremely sincere voice, Conan's eyes suddenly widened. Although he and Hattori Heiji had not known each other for a long time, he could vaguely feel that this Osaka black chicken must have other intentions.

"Since you don't want to tell the truth, I won't force you. Bye~"

After saying that, Conan pretended to explain the call.

"Hashidou Madai! Hashidou Madai! Kudo, wait a minute! Can't I just tell the truth?"

When Conan heard the anxious voice of Hattori Heiji coming from Faiz's phone, a smug smile instantly appeared on his face. The loss he suffered at the hands of Ai was finally paid back by Hattori Heiji!

"By the way, Kudo, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Looking at Ai who was almost stuck to him, Conan replied without thinking: "It's very convenient, just tell me what you want to say."

What Conan didn't notice was that when he was answering Hattori Heiji, a meaningful curve appeared at the corner of Ai's mouth.

Hattori Heiji: "To be honest, Kudo, it seems that a serial murder case has occurred here in Osaka recently, committed by the same murderer."

Serial murder case!

Hearing these five words, Conan's originally relaxed and lazy eyes suddenly became sharp, and he immediately asked: "Hattori, can you tell me in detail what happened?"

"To be honest, this matter was accidentally revealed by Officer Otaki a few days ago..."

five minutes later

After learning the general course of events from Hattori Heiji, Conan nodded slightly and then said in a deep voice: "I understand. Tomorrow, Xiaolan, my uncle and I will take the Shinkansen to Osaka, but remember to keep this serial murder case a secret from them."

After some instructions, Conan hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Ai then asked: "How do you know it's a serial murder case?"

Conan: "The two victims were strangled to death with a rope first, and then pierced through the heart with a dagger. The dagger pierced through the heart and the wallet on the chest at the same time. The Osaka Prefectural Police did not make any public announcement about the wallet."

Xiao Ai continued: "So this basically rules out a copycat crime, but rather a crime committed by the same murderer."

Conan nodded: "That's right, but now according to the information shared by Hattori, the two victims don't seem to have any intersection, so the Osaka police are currently unsure whether this is a random killing or a premeditated crime."

"But speaking of which, who exactly is that guy named Hattori? Why does he know your true identity? You'd better give me an explanation!"

Xiao Ai suddenly burst out with an extremely oppressive aura, which made Conan sweat profusely.

"Well... Huiyuan, let me explain..."

Facing Ai who looked a little unhappy, Conan hurriedly told her everything that happened at Tatsumura's house.

After listening to Conan's explanation, Ai was so angry that a well-shaped character appeared on her forehead: "Ah? You are so bold! You told such a big secret to a guy you just met not long ago! If he accidentally let it slip, do you know what the consequences will be!"

"Well... Don't worry, Haibara. Although I haven't known Hattori for a long time, this guy is a hot-blooded fool with a strong sense of justice. He will never betray his own people. This is my intuition as a detective."

"Oh~ It's really..."

Looking at Conan in front of her with a flattering smile on his face, Ai sighed helplessly, then turned around angrily with her shoulders hugged.

"Don't do such thoughtless things next time. Don't forget that you and I are tied together now. If something happens to one of us, the other will definitely not end well. Do you understand?"

Conan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I understand. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Just when Conan was thinking about how to make the older sister in front of him happy, suddenly a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind.

"Guess who I am. There's a reward for the right answer."

"Haha, Sister Sonoko..."

Conan, who has heard this voice for more than ten years, is very familiar with it. However, he did not expect that even after so much time, Sonoko still likes to play such childish jokes.

"Bingo! Correct answer! Applause for you!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Taking her hands away from Conan's eyes, Sonoko smiled and gave a round of applause, then continued to fiddle with Conan's hairstyle.

"How are you, kid? Have you missed me after not seeing me for a while? I've been studying very hard for the exam recently. I'm sure I can get above 90 points in this math test! Wahahaha!"

[Hehe, but when you took math exams before, wasn’t it Xiaolan and I who helped you...]

Just when Conan was complaining about Sonoko in his heart, Sonoko, who was [fixing Conan's hair], suddenly noticed Ai beside him, and her originally joyful eyes instantly became dangerous!

[No way? I was just busy taking exams for two days, and my house was robbed! Hiss… I haven’t claimed my sovereignty yet, this won’t do! If this kid gets kidnapped, I’ll have nowhere to cry! I have to do something!]

"Yuanzi, you're running too fast, wait for me!"

At this moment, Xiaolan came hurriedly from the back of the garden. When she saw Conan with his hair messed up again, Xiaolan quickly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.

"Sister Xiaolan...just laugh if you want to." Seeing that Xiaolan's face was flushed red, Conan, who had lost all hope in life, nodded to signal her that she could laugh.

"Puchi! No... no thanks, Conan. Sonoko, please stop it. Conan is almost broken by you."

After rescuing Conan from Sonoko's clutches, Xiaolan immediately hurriedly fixed the hairstyle of her childhood sweetheart, and in a short while, Conan had regained his former spirited appearance.

Xiaolan nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, now I feel much more energetic."

"I say, Xiaolan, this kid doesn't seem to be a good student. He is secretly dating a female classmate." Pulling Xiaolan aside, Yuanzi leaned over to her ear and whispered.

"what?"

When these words were spoken, Xiaolan was stunned.

She trusts Conan, also known as Kudo Shinichi, 100% of his character. It is impossible for him to have any entanglement with a little girl, so there must be some misunderstanding.

"Sonoko, are you mistaken? Conan... there's no way he can fall in love."

Seeing that Xiaolan didn't believe it, Yuanzi suddenly became anxious: "How can it be impossible! Look, they are over there! I just saw the two of them chatting here, and the attitude of this little brat is extremely humble! Just like a man in love!"

"Ok?"

Following the direction pointed by Sonoko, Xiaolan soon noticed Xiaoai not far away. When her eyes met with hers, Xiaolan was stunned. Is this look of maturity only an elementary school student can have? Why does she seem smarter than Sonoko?

【Why are little girls nowadays so mature? 】

Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion, but then she came to Xiaoai, squatted down and said kindly: "Hello, little sister, my name is Maoli Ran, you can also call me Xiaolan, what is your name? Where do you live?"

Faced with a series of questions from Xiaolan, Xiaoai did not give a direct answer, but looked around evasively, until she noticed Conan who was winking at her frantically, Xiaoai gave a reply.

"My name is Huiyuan Ai, you can call me... Xiao Ai. I am a relative of Dr. Agasa. I am currently staying at Dr. Agasa's house. Please give me your guidance."
