Chapter 8: The Birth of Conan Edogawa
"Little friend?" Shinichi was stunned.
What is this guy talking about? Shinichi looked at the two policemen strangely, I was a sophomore in high school.
"It doesn't matter if you have a wound on your head, does it?" A policeman asked nervously.
A wound on the head? Shinichi only then felt a sharp pain in his head, and something seemed to be flowing down his face.
By the way, I was attacked in the back by the man in black! The new consciousness touched his head, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
"Right now, I'm on the orders to protect a schoolboy."
What schoolboy, what is this policeman talking about? Shinichi looked at the strange policeman unconsciously.
Well? Something seems wrong? Shinichi stretched out his hand strangely.
Wait a minute!
Looking at the stretched trouser legs and cuffs, Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned.
He quickly checked his body and watched it all in horror, no less shocked than one day when Holmes suddenly stood in front of him.
How is this possible?! Looking at his hands and feet, Shinichi was stunned.
Me, getting smaller?
"Because he has a scar on his head, I suspect he may have something to do with some case. Belch...... Wait," the policeman looked back at where the new one was, only to find ......
"The kid is gone!"
β¦β¦
MΔori Detective Agency.
"I'm back." Xiaolan walked into the house.
"Ah, Lan, are you back?" An uncle with a red face drunk said.
"Really, Daddy!" Xiaolan looked at the pieces of paper and garbage scattered all over the place, and couldn't help but say helplessly, "Why did you make such a mess here!" While cleaning up, she said angrily, "It's all because of you that no guests come to the door." That's how my mother ran away from home! β
The uncle turned his head and said proudly: "I'm picking a job!" Then he asked with a look of disdain, "What happened to that kid who pretended to be a detective?" Didn't you go out together? β
"We were still together at the amusement park just now, but we ...... halfway through" Xiaolan couldn't help but look gloomy when she thought of Shinichi's decisive back.
"Shinichi, he doesn't know what's wrong." Xiao Lan muttered.
βββββββββββββββββββββ
Night envelops sleepy Tokyo, and heavy rain pours down.
A child stumbled and ran in the rain, wearing a bulky shirt that did not fit well, and tripped over the leg of his trousers from time to time. It is the Shinichi who has become smaller.
"Hah...... Ha...... I just ran for a while, and I just gasped. Shinichi, who fell to the ground again, gasped and looked at his reflection with hatred.
"My body...... It's getting smaller! β
"Could it be ......" Shinichi thought of the medicine that the man in black had poured on himself.
β¦β¦
"Hello, I'm Shinichi Kudo, and I'm not at home right now."
Listening to the voice in the answering machine, Xiaolan said to herself: "It's strange, why haven't you arrived home yet?" β
"Didn't he live with his father who was a novelist?" The uncle on the side interjected, "Why do you even have to go out for dinner?" And, that cold boy, what about him? β
"Shinichi's father moved to the United States three years ago!" Xiaolan said angrily, "As for Charlotte's father...... her tone was a little softer, "disappeared in the fire half a year ago." β
"I see." Uncle's eyes froze, "It's that case......"
Something must have happened after Shinichi is gone! Xiaolan didn't care about her father's self-talk, and the ominous premonition in her heart became heavier and heavier. "I'll take a look at the new one!" After saying that, he ran out with his coat in hand.
"Hey, hey! What about my dinner? Seeing that Xiaolan ignored herself completely, the uncle couldn't help but hang his head and become depressed.
Kudo otaku.
"Damn, can't I even get into my own home?" After several failed attempts to climb through the door, Shinichi thought weakly.
"By the way, go find Charlotte!" Shinichi suddenly thought of this. Miyamoto's house, just down the street from his house.
"Isn't he there either......" Looking at the dark villa, Shinichi sighed helplessly.
"But it's weird, where else can he go?" The instinct of the new detective made him ponder. "It seems that I didn't heed his warnings now, but how did he know to be careful with black? Or does his absence have anything to do with it? Or is he in danger now? β
"Not good!" Shinichi was startled and was about to contact Charlotte, when he heard a loud explosion coming from behind him.
Shinichi quickly ran there, only to see a chubby old man in a white lab coat with a somewhat bald head, sitting in a pile of rubble coughing loudly.
"Doctor!" Shinichi rushed up and shouted.
"Huh?" Dr. Asasa looked at the child strangely, "Who are you?" β
"It's me, Doctor, I'm Shinichi!" Shinichi exclaimed anxiously.
"Oh, it's the new family's kid," Dr. Asasa didn't hear, "Shinichi's house is over there." β
"I'm Shinichi!" Shinichi was a little crazy, "If you don't believe me, I can tell you what's going on in your house!" β
"Dr. Agasa, fifty-two years old, is an inventor with a very different style, although he claims to be a genius, but all the things he invents are broken copper and iron. Frequent Explosion Experiments with Charlotte's Evaluation of Death! And there's a hair on the mole on your butt! Shinichi told him everything he knew in one breath.
"Ahh The doctor was taken aback, "These are all secrets that Shinichi and Charlotte only knew, did these two boys tell me everything?" β
"No, I'm Shinichi!" Shinichi was completely mad, "I was drugged with strange things, so I became smaller!" β
"If there's this strange medicine, I'd like to take a look at it too!" The doctor angrily said, "Strange little ghost, I'll take you to the police right now!" After saying that, he picked up Shinichi and left.
"The Doctor just came back from the Goblin Cafeteria around the corner!" Shinichi was dragged by force and couldn't help but shout.
"You, how do you know?" The doctor was taken aback.
"Look at the doctor's clothes." Shinichi rightly said, "You have wet marks on the front of your clothes, but not on the back, which is a trace of running in the rain." Pants are covered in splashes of mud, and only the construction Goblin Cafeteria here will be full of mud! Plus, you've got Goblin Restaurant's special sauce on your beard! Shinichi shook his finger proudly, "This is just a preliminary judgment!" β
"You...... You are, Shinichi ......" This familiar action, with its strong reasoning ability, has only been seen in two people.
β¦β¦
"I see, it must be that this strange drug has not been developed completely, so it has a wonderful effect on you." In the large study, the doctor looked at the new one who had changed and spoke.
"That's it." Shinichi looked at his current figure helplessly, "Really, the clothes of the first grade of elementary school are just right now." β
"You know what, Shinichi," the Doctor's tone turned unexpectedly serious, "if they knew you were alive, they would kill you again!" This matter is a secret between you and me, and you can't tell anyone, and of course you can't tell Xiaolan and Charlotte. β
"But, not to mention that Charlotte may already know," Shinichi said helplessly, "do you think this matter may have been hidden in the eyes of a top detective like him?" β
"Shinichi, are you in there?" A female voice came from outside.
"Oh no, it's Xiaolan!" The Doctor and Shinichi looked around in panic.
"Hide!" The Doctor shouted at Shinichi.
Hidden? Do you have any places here where you can hide people? Shinichi smiled wryly, looked around, and decisively hid behind the table.
"Doctor, is Shinichi here?" Xiaolan walked in and looked at the doctor at a loss.
"Ah, he's not here now." The doctor was in a hurry, "Charlotte had something to do with him just now, and the two of them left together." β
"Huh? Is that so? Xiaolan asked suspiciously, "But why didn't he tell me?" β
"Ah, that, maybe it's in a hurry." The doctor lied profusely.
Behind his desk, Shinichi struggled with the pair of glasses his father had left behind.
"That's right, sorry to bother you, Doctor, ah, phone!" Xiaolan replied disappointedly, and was about to turn around to leave, when her phone suddenly rang.
"Moximoxi? Ah, Charlotte! Xiaolan picked up the phone and suddenly shouted.
"It's over." Dr. & Shinichi
"Ah, you said Shinichi was with you, oh, then he asked you." Xiaolan's words made the doctor and Shinichi feel strange, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Xiaolan's next sentence made Shinichi tense his nerves.
"How strange, where are you, Charlotte? Why is there a crackling sound all around? β
Xinyi couldn't help it anymore, put on the glasses that he had removed the lenses, rushed up to snatch the phone in Xiaolan's hand, and shouted into the phone: "Hey, Charlotte, where are you now." Why do you want to tell me, you want to ......" He suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, and he remembered Xiaolan next to him.
"Heh, Kudo, it seems that you really didn't listen to me." Charlotte's voice came from the other end of the phone, but the usually clear voice was a little hoarse, and trembling slightly, as if she was enduring something.
Shinichi keenly heard that something was wrong, "Hey, you ......"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Charlotte interrupted him, "It sounds like you've become like this. Remember, be careful about who you are. After saying that, without waiting for Shinichi to reply, the phone hung up.
"Charlotte ......"
Shinichi couldn't help but worry. But his worry didn't last a second, because the next second he fell into the warm embrace of the inside.
"It's so cute, what's your name, little friend?" Xiaolan hugged him and asked kindly.
"Ah......" Shinichi froze, "I'm a worker...... Ah no, I'm ......" He inadvertently glanced at the books on the shelves, and smiled like a child when he saw the words Edogawa Ranbu.
"Conan, my name is Conan Edogawa!"
βββββββββββββββββββββ
Charlotte leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
Listening to the crackling sound around her, a wry smile appeared on Charlotte's face.
"This kind of pain is really unbearable!" Charlotte gritted her teeth, clutching the hilt of the god's sword in her hand.
"Again...... Here we go again......" Charlotte gritted her teeth and did her best to keep herself awake, "what a nuisance...... Feel...... Wake ......"
"Ahh Charlotte finally passed out.
