Chapter 17: The Familiar Stranger (1)

"Doctor?"

"Small, little empty! You haven't slept so late, haha! Dr. Asasa was startled, straightened up and took a step back.

"......" Kaedehara reached out and turned on the lamp next to the bed, squinting slightly to adjust to the light, and looked at Dr. Agasa.

Dr. Asasa is holding a tweezer-shaped object in his hand.

Dr. Asasa in his pajamas noticed Kaedehara's gaze and quickly put his hands behind his back and looked left and right a few times, trying to find something that could save him from the current embarrassment.

“… Doctor," Kaedehara thought for a moment, then said in a nonchalant tone, "If you pluck your hair with that thing, someone else will wake up, right?" ”

"Of course not! This is my new invention that uses electricity and magnetism to make people with their hair plucked out of their mind! At the mention of his invention, Dr. Asasa looked proud, but the next second, his face collapsed again, "... Xiaoxiao, Xiaokong, you know everything..."

"You guessed it when I happened to see the doctor in the afternoon, you were holding a comb," Kaedehara glanced at the top of Dr. Agasa's head, and Dr. Asa touched his head uncomfortably, "So... Do you want to do a DNA comparison with my hair? ”

“… Well. "It's Shinichi, Dr. Asasa was a little embarrassed to think about it.

When he pulled Conan's hair during the day, Conan didn't react at all, and he didn't even notice that he had gone around his back. Kaedehara, on the other hand, gave Dr. Asa a feeling that he couldn't start, as if he could detect it if he got closer.

So he was going to change the method, intending to see if there was any hair with hair follicles on the comb, but it turned out that not only did he not, but there was not even a single hair without hair follicles.

In fact, Kaede Yuan didn't know why.

However, no matter what, seeing that the time for "delivery" was approaching, Dr. Asa had to go to bed early, intending to get up for a sleep, and pluck out a few hairs while Kaedehara was almost asleep at that time.

It turned out to be a failure.

"That's... Come on. Kaedehara tilted his head and turned his head sideways toward Dr. Asasa.

Dr. Asasa was stunned for a moment.

"Doctor?"

"Sora... Aren't you angry? ”

"Dr. Angry, you're going to do a DNA match?" Kaedehara replied, "No. ”

"It's normal to take the drug and become smaller, and it becomes two people, so it's completely understandable. Don't worry, Doctor, it's okay. ”

Kaedehara said.

In fact, he was also curious about the results of the comparison.

Dr. Asa carefully removed a few hair follicles from Kaedehara's head, then put them aside. Then, Dr. Asasa hesitated and sat down on his bed.

"Ahem, Shinichi, ......"

Dr. Asasa's title surprised Kaedehara.

"Your mom and dad are back."

……

Kaedehara rarely goes out at night.

Tonight was exceptionally cold, and the wind was blowing.

He sat in the passenger seat of Dr. Asasa's Beetle car, looking out the window with a slight distraction.

Not long ago, Dr. Asa took him with him and sent his hair to a trusted friend of the doctor along with several other sets of samples for comparison, and if nothing else, the results would be available tomorrow morning.

Now, Dr. Asasa is driving him to the hotel where Yusaku Kudo and his wife are temporarily staying.

In the original plan discussed by Yusaku Kudo, Yukiko Kudo (Shinichi Kudo's mother) and Dr. Kasa, there was no such thing.

The Kudo couple wanted to wait for the results of the comparison to come out and then go to see Kaedehara and Conan.

However, Dr. Asa has been very familiar with Kaedehara these days, and he has been caught again, so he simply picks it out.

So after Dr. Asasa sent a message to Yusaku Kudo, the two went out.

Kaedehara didn't know what mood he was in.

He knew that he wasn't Shinichi Kudo, but if it weren't for the difference in the time traveler, he could have accepted everything that belonged to Shinichi Kudo like his predecessors in the web novel.

But...

Can he pretend to be Shinichi Kudo with Shinichi Kudo's memories, but can he pretend to be the son of the Kudo couple?

He didn't know.

Unlike Dr. Asasa, who was really asleep before, he is indeed a little sleepy now. With a yawn, Kaedehara rolled down the window slightly, letting the wind in and blowing on his face.

It sobered him up a bit.

After some time, the car was parked in the parking lot of the Rice Flower Luxury Hotel.

Kaedehara rolled up the window, closed the door, and followed Dr. Asasa into the hotel and took the elevator to the third floor.

Dr. Asa knocked on the door.

The door was pulled open.

The person inside the door seemed to be by the door all the time, waiting for someone to knock on the door.

The big beautiful woman with long curly hair who looked like she was in her early twenties poked her head out like this, just glanced at Dr. Asasa who knocked on the door, and the next moment her eyes fell on Kaedehara.

Kaedehara was stunned for a moment.

A feeling of admiration that came from nowhere suddenly took over, making him feel a strong sense of closeness to the woman in front of him.

It was as if every part of his body was telling him that this was his real mother. But the next moment, as Kaede Yuan skillfully recalled his own memories, this inexplicable emotion faded away all at once.

The woman who had felt very familiar had become a little stranger again.

But before he could think about it any more, Yukiko Kudo, the woman in front of him, pounced.

"Xiaoxin~!" Kudo Yukiko half-squatted and hugged Kaedehara in her arms, "It's so cute~ Why didn't I find out that my biological son looked so cute before~Rub~"

Kudo Yukiko rubbed Kaedehara's face with her face, and Kaedehara turned her head a little uncomfortably.

Reason told him that if he continued to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi, at this time it was the last word to call a mother or Sister Yukiko, but... He couldn't shout.

Kudo Yukiko didn't care about it for the time being, and talked to herself with a happy face. Crossing Kudo's shoulder, Kaedehara noticed that Kudo Yu was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, with a little concern.

It's probably the effect of "memories" just now, and the previous emotions have not poured out again.

Dr. Asasa watched this "warm" scene with a smile on his face.

"Really, stupid husband," led Kaedehara into the house, and Kudo Yukiko gave him a blank look when he passed by Kudo Yusaku, "I have to get some DNA testing, but I recognized Xiaoxin when I first saw it!" ”

After saying that, she looked down at Kaede Yuan again.

"The induction between mother and son is really amazing~!"
