Chapter 19: The Familiar Stranger (3)
Kaedehara didn't see the appraisal report.
Mr. and Mrs. Kudo and Dr. Asa didn't mean to mention it either. For the Kudos, doubting their "son" is always a difficult thing to talk about, even if it is legitimate.
However, although he did not take the initiative to mention it, the vague hint and compensatory attitude still made Kaedehara aware of the results of the identification.
But it's also good to be sure.
He's going to ask the more familiar Dr. Asa when it's over... Now, since everyone doesn't mention it, then it's better for him to mention it too.
Soon, Yusaku Kudo mentioned the original "test" plan.
The plan was to make Kudo Shinichi understand the great danger he could face—a normal character who could have made the drug, apparently not a petty fight—and to see how Shinichi Kudo behaved in the face of danger.
The subject of this test has not been determined until today's identification results are available. But now, of course, it's certain.
Conan Edogawa, who didn't know anything about all this, had the honor of being chosen as the tester.
And one of the original tester candidates, Kaedehara, naturally joined the director team. In the eyes of everyone, no one knows Kudo Shinichi better than him.
In the plan, Yukiko Kudo will disguise her mother as "Edogawa", pick up Shinichi from the Maori Detective Agency or Dr. Asasa's house, and then drive to the place where Shinichi is being held.
"What does Xiaoxin think?" Yukiko Kudo said that it was interesting to ask Shinichi to think about how to test Shinichi.
"Hmm... Once out of sight of the Maori family, he should be able to stun Conan with drugs," Kaedehara said, "or it will give him a chance to escape." ”
"And... I don't think that's going to work as well as you're looking for. ”
The Kudo couple actually wanted to persuade the two Shinichi to follow them abroad, but Kaedehara said that he wanted to see his own consciousness first.
"Isn't this life-threatening danger enough?"
"Not enough." Kaedehara shook his head.
……
In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.
"Hey! Conan..."Xiaolan looked at Conan who was playing video games with her hands behind her back, and said dissatisfiedly, "Did you listen to what I said!?" ”
"Huh?"
"I'm talking about asking you to call Xiaokong over for dinner..."
"Oh... He's having something to do with the doctor today, Sister Xiaolan..."It seems that he wants to improve his usual anesthetic needle watch to see if it can be changed to something that can be used in bursts?" Conan thought, casually responding.
But Xiaolan doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with today.
"What's the matter! Really! Your parents have left you alone since you were transferred overseas," Xiaolan said angrily, "Xiao Kong still doesn't want to live here, and eats takeout with Dr. Asa every day, how can this work!" It's so unbelievable! ”
"It's too much......" Thinking about the Kaedehara Sora who was sent back and forth, Xiaolan felt a little distressed, looking at Conan, who had been eating and drinking here, she felt that it was not as pleasing to the eye as before.
"Indeed, not only have you never seen your parents, but you haven't even seen a letter, and you haven't ......heard from you," said Maori Kogoro, who was sitting on the sidelines.
Conan cried out in his heart. I haven't told my parents about how he's getting smaller and split, and besides... Edogawa Conan's identity is fake, and it is impossible to have any parents...
Ding Dong –
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xiaolan walked to open the door, but Uncle Maori didn't give up asking Conan, Conan had to think about what to do while playing Tai Chi, but just as he was anxiously pulling his hair, Xiaolan, who had said something to the visitor at the door, turned her head in surprise.
"Conan! Someone's coming to pick you up! ”
"Huh?"
"Look at the door...", Moriran looked at Conan with satisfaction, then looked at the door, "Your mother is coming to pick you up!" ”
“…… Ha? Conan looked at the chubby middle-aged woman with short black curly hair and glasses, and was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Nan, I'm really sorry! Leaving you alone here......" tears welled up in the corners of the visitor's eyes, "you must be lonely...... Don't worry! Mommy is coming to pick you up! ”
Conan Edogawa, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, was immediately embraced by someone who came.
What's going on? Edogawa Conan is just a fake name he made up... Who is this woman?
Wrong!
"Who are you! I don't know you! Conan struggled to break free of his embrace, shouting loudly, hoping to get help from Ran and Uncle, he didn't want to be taken away like this.
"Huh? She's not ......" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, looking back and forth between the two.
"Oops! This kid is playing tricks again... It's all my fault, I left them behind for so long..."The visitor said as he took out a business card, "My name is Edogawa Fumiyo, which is Edogawa Conan's mother..."
Looking at the business card, Xiaolan was a little convinced.
It's normal for children who have been away from home for a long time to have trouble with their mothers... She can understand Conan too, but... Xiaolan said vigilantly: "That little empty... Oh no, what about Doyle? You're not going to keep him alone, are you? ”
"How so?" The woman who called herself Edogawa Fumiyo smiled, "Doyle's kid is in my car... We're coming back this time to make amends to these two children—"
"Oh..."Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, a little lost, "I still want to say goodbye to that kid..."
"Oh, that kid doesn't seem to like saying goodbye, but I can see that kid is actually reluctant to let you go..."
The topic inexplicably shifted from himself to Kaedehara, but Conan's heart became even heavier.
Kaedehara may have been taken away by this woman as well... What is this man's purpose?
Looking at Xiaolan, who was chatting with "Edogawa Fumiyo", Conan made a decision in his heart. He didn't know who the other party really was, just in case... You can't implicate Xiaolan and them, and if Kaede Yuan has already been taken away...
He'd have to go up and take a look.
Soon, the visitor completely convinced the Maori father and daughter. Although I am happy for the two Edogawas, when it comes to separation, Xiaolan is still a little reluctant to Conan, and even Uncle Maori, who has always been very unhappy with Conan, is a little sad.
Conan seemed absent-minded, and it was only understood as a sign of reluctance.
Edagawa pressed Conan to the passenger seat, locked the door, said goodbye to the Mori father and daughter again, and drove away.
"Auntie... Who are you? Conan asked cautiously as he secretly prepared the watch with the anesthetic needle.
"Didn't I just say... I'm your mother..."
"Not really. You-"
"Yukiko Kudo." Edogawa Fumiyo said suddenly, Conan was stunned for a moment, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and his face became ugly.
"Your mother is Yukiko Kudo." Edogawa Fumiyo said as he drove the car, "She was once the premier actress in this book, and she won various awards at the age of 19, and her acting skills and beauty were popular all over the world at that time... Later..."
Edogawa Fumiyo knows a lot about the life of Yukiko Kudo, and Conan's face is getting more and more ugly. He had already speculated, but it was hard to accept that this day would come in this form...
"I'm not wrong, right..."Edogawa Fumiyo said a lot, blowing the ceiling of Kudo Yukiko, "Kudo Shinichi! ”
This guy is the same party of those men in black? Damn it...
Edogawa Conan quietly touched the anesthetic needle watch in his hand. There is a traffic light not far ahead... Words there...
Edogawa Fumiyo seemed unaware of this.
This made Conan breathe a sigh of relief. The car moved forward at a constant speed, and Conan began to count down in his mind.
However...
Just as he was about to reach the intersection, a hand suddenly poked out from behind Conan, and before Conan could react, he covered his mouth and nose with a towel across the back of the chair.
How, how... He didn't even notice that there was someone in the back seat... Where is it hidden?
The drug entered his body along his mouth and nose, and Conan's consciousness gradually moved away.
