"Doctor, who is this kid?" Xiaolan looked at Conan with a cute face in her arms and couldn't help asking.

"Ah, he," replied the doctor, with the same expression, "he is the child of my relative's family, by the way, can you please put this child in your house for a while?" This child's parents are hospitalized, so they asked me to do so, but I'm a bachelor after all! ”

"Uh, foster ......" Xiaolan looked at the doctor speechlessly, and then looked down at Conan in his arms, "That's fine, but I want to talk to Dad." ”

"Foster ......" Shinichi, no, Conan rolled his eyes, and then reacted, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Doctor! What are you doing? ”

"Shinichi," the doctor whispered in Conan's ear, "aren't you going to investigate the Men in Black?" Xiaolan's father is a detective! ”

"Huh...... Heh...... "Conan remembered the uncle who was drunk every day, I guess it won't be of much use!" However, maybe there will be information from those guys. Conan thought to himself.

"Alright, that's it! Thank you so much. The doctor made the final decision, ignoring Conan's teeth and claws, and pushed him to Xiaolan.

Really, Doctor. Conan couldn't help but feel that he was unladylike.

"Now, Conan," Ran suddenly asked, holding Conan's hand on the way to the office.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Conan was stunned for a moment, he was really not used to this name. Conan thought depressedly.

"Do you have someone you like?" Xiaolan asked as she walked, "I mean, do you have a favorite girl at school?" ”

"Uh...... No, no! Conan's face flushed.

"No, I have someone I like very much!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Conan smiled evilly, "Wouldn't it be the brother named Shinichi you just looked for?" ”

Xiaolan glanced at Conan in surprise, "That's right. She replied earnestly.

"Huh!" Conan looked at her in surprise.

"Shinichi, I've been very naughty since I was a child." Xiaolan said to herself. "Always look confident. Think of yourself as an expert in reasoning. Every time, it gives me and Charlotte a headache. However, if there is something, please ask him to do it, and he will be full of courage to do it! I really, really like Shinichi! But he didn't notice that Conan's face was already red and about to explode.

When she arrived downstairs at the office, Xiaolan bent down and said to Conan, "This is my house, it seems that there is a cute younger brother." You can say anything to Conan! ”

"Lan ......" Conan looked at her in a daze.

"Come, I'll introduce you to Dad." After Xiaolan said this, she didn't see Conan's lowered head at all.

"That, Lan ......" Conan lowered his head, unable to make out his expression, "Actually, that...... I, I am ......"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Conan, who was about to tell Ran the truth, was interrupted by a voice, but Ran's father, Mori Kogoro, ran down from the stairs in a formal suit, but fell heavily on the ground and hurriedly flashed to Conan's side.

"Haha, I finally have a job in half a year!" Kogoro exclaimed excitedly, completely ignoring the fact that he had just rolled down the stairs, "The daughter of a rich family has been kidnapped, and it is said that the kidnapper is a man in black!" ”

"The man in black?!" Conan's sensitive nerves were immediately touched, and the images of the two men in black who drugged themselves immediately flashed in his mind.

"Taxi!" Mori Kogoro waved a taxi, and Conan followed.

"Hey, Conan!" Xiaolan couldn't help it, so she ran over.

……

In the dark and gorgeous room, a figure sat quietly in an armchair, looking out the window at the dark night.

"So, those things are destroyed?" A voice spoke slowly, the figure sitting in the armchair.

"Yes, boss."

At the feet of the figure, a man in black knelt on one knee, his body completely hidden in the darkness, and he could only hear the sound without any change in voice.

"It is said that the strange thief Maple Tea suddenly appeared, and the people brought by Sake are not opponents at all. But that house was also burned down by him. ”

"Strange thief Feng Ming......" The figure tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, "What about him, did he also burn to death in the fire?" ”

"This matter has not been investigated yet, because the fire was so fierce that it was only extinguished an hour ago." The man in black replied, "However, according to the data report of the police statistics, there are only sixteen bodies inside. ”

"Oh, it looks like I escaped." The figure knocked on the handrail for a moment, "But compared to the elusive monster thief Feng Ming's skills, I care more about the purpose of his appearance there." ”

"I haven't found out yet." For the first time, the man in black's tone changed, trembling slightly.

The figure of "Miyamoto ......" ignored the fear of his subordinates and muttered to himself.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Conan is running. To be precise, he rode the big dog running.

"What Akiko saw wasn't a chimney at all!" A confident smile was once again presented on Conan's immature face.

"Some things sound the same way and look the same again. Ever heard of an ancient Chinese poem? "Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near." That's what I'm talking about. Charlotte's words kept echoing in his head, and Conan couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, old friend."

"What Akiko looks like is a chimney, but it's actually just a shadow on the side of the building." Conan calculated in his mind, "And the school with the warehouse that can see the shadow on the side of the building is—"

"Futhashi Middle School!"

In the dark warehouse, the man with the knife was smiling.

"The business is done, and you're useless." The man sneered and walked over to the little girl with a frightened face, and drew a bright knife.

"Stop!" A voice came from the doorway.

"Who! Who's there? The man picked up his knife and rushed to the door.

"Here!" A voice came from below.

As soon as the man lowered his head, he was pounced on by the roaring dog.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Conan walked in and untied the rope from the girl's body.

"Who are you?" The girl asked softly with tears in her eyes.

"Kudo Shinichi, no," Conan said slowly with a confident smile:

"Conan Edogawa is a detective."

The big dog screamed, was knocked to the ground by the man, and ran out of the warehouse with his tail between his legs. Seeing this, Conan raised his leg and kicked the man in the face.

The man sneered, grabbed the kicking leg, and threw Conan out with his hand.

"Damn!" Conan got up and thought to himself, "I don't even have the strength to get smaller!" Suddenly seeing the football at his feet, Conan had an idea, raised his leg and kicked the ball over.

The man grabbed the flying soccer ball, sneered and picked up the baseball bat and slammed Conan away.

"Hmm!" Conan exclaimed, "Oh no, even the power to kick the ball has been lost!" Conan thought bitterly, "My body is so small, even if I find the prisoners, I don't have the strength to arrest them!" ”

"It's game over." The man lifted the knife in his hand and smiled coldly, "I want your life!" ”

"Now...... It's dead. Looking at the slashed knife, Conan closed his eyes reluctantly.

Seeing the moment of crisis, Xiaolan suddenly broke into the door and knocked the man to the ground in karate.

Mori Kogoro ran in breathlessly after him, looked at the prisoner who had fallen to the ground, and kicked him a few times. "Damn, is that you?" Then he laughed and said, "This prisoner was arrested by my detective Mori Kogoro!" ”

“…… There's really a set! Conan looked at Kogoro helplessly.

After dealing with this case, Conan seemed to remember something, and said to Xiaolan, "That's right, Sister Lan." ”

"What's the matter, Conan?" Xiaolan asked.

"It occurred to me that I had to go to the doctor's house to pack up my things, so I won't go back to the office tonight, and I'll go back tomorrow, okay?" Conan looked up at Xiaolan selling cuteness.

"Oh, no problem, remember to move here tomorrow." Xiaolan didn't think much about it and agreed.

Asasa House.

"Hey, I said Shinichi, why are you back again?" The Doctor looked strangely at the returning Shinichi.

"I'd like to go to Charlotte's house to find him," Conan walked in, turning on the TV casually, "but that guy isn't here, and I don't think it's very convenient to call at the office, so I'd better come and stay with you for the night." By the way, ask him about it. ”

"Oh, that's right." The doctor replied casually.

"And I have a lot of things I want to ask this guy, it seems like he knows a lot about that organization, but why is it so secret......"

Conan paused, staring at the turned on TV. Seeing his expression, the doctor also got up and walked to the television.

"At about 8 o'clock this evening, a fire broke out in the old house of the late Dr. Miyamoto in the suburbs, the fire was so serious that it burned for nearly an hour or so, and after the fire was extinguished, the bodies of 16 people were found in it. At present, the relevant departments are conducting an investigation......"

"Charlotte! Oops! Conan jumped to his feet, anger written in his warm blue pupils.

"It must be, it must be those guys!" Conan looked at the pictures of the corpses on the screen, "all dressed in black...... It must be ......"

"So what should I do now?" The doctor asked with a solemn face.

"I can't care so much!" Conan turned to rush out the door, "There's no way I'm going to leave ...... Leave that guy alone! ”

"Wait......" The doctor was about to dissuade when he suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking from the second floor!

Conan and the Doctor looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a pang of worry in their hearts.

"Could it be that those men in black found this place so quickly?" Conan thought to himself, and picked up something as a weapon.

When the two of them walked to the second floor vigilantly, they were surprised to find such a scene.

A man in black collapsed by the window, wrapped in a tattered black cloak covered in burnt marks. However, the gold pattern that is still faintly visible still shows the extraordinary identity of its owner. An equally torn black top hat was fastened to the figure's head, and the golden mask on his face had been smoked black. The shadow still clutched a long black knife tightly in his hand. But the most important thing is that the person wearing this outfit is a child!

Seeing that the figure had passed out, Conan and the Doctor stepped forward and took off the mask that covered his face.

"—Charlotte!" Conan exclaimed.
