With the appearance of "Kudo Shinichi", almost everyone in the room except for Officer Nakamori Ginzo and his subordinates showed surprised expressions, and the difference was only in the degree of performance.

Xiaolan didn't even shout "Shinichi" for the first time, but subconsciously turned her head to look at Feng Yuan who was standing on the side.

Before this, she still suspected that Kaedehara Sora was actually Kudo Shinichi.

But since Shinichi is here, then Sora shouldn't be Shinichi, and Conan is also there at this time, so Sora can't be Conan pretending.

Neither Sora nor Conan are Shinichi...

Sensing Xiaolan's gaze, Gray Yuan glanced thoughtfully at the newly debuted "Kudo Shinichi", and then also looked at Kaedehara.

The same goes for Dr. Asasa.

Kaedehara knew what they were trying to say, but it was clearly not a good occasion to speak.

Conan stammered and tried to speak.

Conan was ready to line up with Kidd the Monster Thief, and even got a black elementary school hang-glider from the Doctor, which is said to have been made with Kaedehara's help.

He also knew very well that the strange thief Kidd was extremely good at disguising himself as someone else, so he immediately thought that the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him was pretended by Kidd.

And that's exactly what happened.

Kidd the Strange Thief admired the surprised expressions of everyone in the room with great interest, especially the surprised expression of the second detective imp named Conan Edogawa, and then was slightly stunned.

What's going on with the little ghost next to him who is not only exactly the same as the little ghost, but also almost exactly the same as when he was a child?

Speaking of which, when he used a pigeon to eavesdrop on the Maori detective agency, he heard the voice of a child called Kokura by Maori that sounded almost exactly like Conan, and it turned out to be exactly the same...

"It's this stinky boy." At this moment, the silence was broken by the voice of Kogoro Maori.

"Shinichi Kudo, isn't it..."

"That famous high school detective?"

The actors also reacted.

"Who is he?" Motota asked.

"Shinichi..."Ayumi thought for a moment, "Ah! He's Sister Xiaolan's boyfriend! ”

"Not really!" Xiaolan subconsciously defended.

"It's my husband!" The garden corrected.

"He's—he's Kidd the Monster Thief!" After stammering for a while, Conan finally made a voice and shouted at Kidd.

"Huh?"

"This person is definitely not the new brother!" Conan said, "He's the Monster Kidd pretending!" ”

"Kidd the Thief?" Officer Nakamori looked at Kidd warily, and Kidd quickly waved his hand.

"How do you know he's Kidd the Thief?" Uncle Maori asked.

"Because..."Conan hesitated for a moment, looked at Kaedehara, and then noticed that the gray plain and the doctor beside him were looking at Kaedehara and himself with a somewhat strange expression, and another unscientific conjecture suddenly appeared in his heart, which made him a little unable to speak for a while.

"Because of what? You say. ”

"Ah, nothing..."

Conan was somewhat embarrassed and perfunctory.

Kaede noticed that Kidd's gaze had been drifting over him as if nothing had been there.

Just like he hadn't seen Kidd before, Kidd probably hadn't seen him either...

Now it seems that no one seems to mention himself the few times Conan and Kidd met, at least not that he and Conan look exactly the same...

And although Officer Nakamori felt that Conan, a kid, was just guessing, he also felt that there was a slight possibility, so he walked up to Kidd and grabbed Kidd's face.

In Conan's shocked gaze, no matter how hard Officer Nakamori pulled, he couldn't pull any disguise off Kidd's face.

"What's going on?" Dr. Asa finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Kaedehara.

"Maybe it's just that he looks like me in the first place, right?"

"Ah, wasn't Mr. Detective mistaken?" Gray Yuan Ai skillfully used a very low voice, "For example, you actually became three people at that time?" ”

"Hmm," Kaedehara thought for a moment, "I can't rule out the possibility. ”

That being said, Kaedehara was actually quite sure that this person was Kidd.

After all, he knew that Kidd and Kudo Shinichi looked almost identical, but there were some differences in hairstyles.

Conan retreated into the crowd with an ugly face.

"Okay, I'm sure it's him," Officer Nakamori concluded, whose hands were a little sore when he squeezed it, "and I'll pull everyone's faces by the way just to be safe." ”

"Huh?"

"No, I don't think so," Uncle Maori said confidently, "my gut tells me that Kidd isn't here." ”

"Oh?"

"And I've come up with a trick to catch Kidd..."

"Oh, can we ask you to come out and hear it?" Officer Nakamori said, then turned to Makiki, "Miss Maki, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask the others to go out for a while for the time being." ”

"It's okay, officer," Makuri stood up, "I'm ready anyway." ”

The group in charge of Capturing Kidd apparently intended to discuss how to capture Kidd here, but Kidd did not eavesdrop on the capture plan, but prepared to leave with the others.

"Ah, I'm sorry," he said, "I think I'd better do it my own way." ”

Uncle Maori didn't want to see Kudo Shinichi, and naturally he didn't want to see Kidd disguised as Kudo Shinichi, so he unceremoniously urged Kidd to leave as well.

Kidd didn't care, just smirked and left the lounge with the others.

By the time the actors had gone to get ready for the show and parted with the group, Kidd felt his clothes being gently pulled.

"Shinichi, were you in Kyoto the day before yesterday?" Xiaolan asked.

"yes!" Although he didn't know what was going on, Kidd responded quickly, "I helped with that case." ”

"It's really you! I thought I was wrong. Xiaolan said, "Really! Now that you're back, at least tell me about it. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just free to come here today, and," Kidd said, "I'd like to see your cute look of surprise." ”

"But, cute?"

"Is the splitting head so numb?" Yuanzi said.

"Haha, I think, I'll go to the roof and have a look first..."Kidd changed the subject, "Xiaolan, do you want to go together?" ”

"Huh?"

"I heard that the top floor looks like an observatory?"

"Yes, Xiaolan, you two can go over and have a look-"

"I'm going too, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan hurriedly ran over and hugged Xiaolan's leg.

"No! You are not allowed to go! The garden said.

"Go, go! I'm going too! ”

If the other party is Kidd, Conan naturally can't let the other party and Xiaolan be alone, and if the other party is not Kidd, then he can't let the other party be alone with Xiaolan.

He was selling cute, spoiling, Xiaolan answered, and the group went to the exhibition hall on the top floor together.

Walking behind, Kaedehara continued the previous topic.

"Sora," Dr. Asa asked, confused, "could he have been separated from you in the first place?" ”

"He didn't become a child." Kaedehara reworked the previous setting, "And I told you that at that time, it was as if I felt the split, and it was just me and Conan..."

"Maybe you two are fakes," said Graybara, "It's more credible than one person becoming two, or Shinichi Kudo just disappeared from the beginning, isn't it?" ”

"Indeed..."

Kaedehara thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Listening to the interaction between the two, Dr. Asa had a headache.

To be honest, with his current relationship with Sora and Conan, he doesn't care so much about whether these two are Shinichi or not.

However, he believes that these two are Shinichi mainly because they both have Shinichi's memory, and they don't think he's Shinichi just because the person in front of him looks like Shinichi.

Gray Yuan Ai was obviously just joking.

After everyone came to the top floor, they parted for a while, Kaedehara and the elementary school students enjoyed the view, and Kidd asked to check the lock on the door to the roof, and Xiaolan went with him, and Conan was no exception.

And by observing Kidd's performance when he checked the door lock, Conan also confirmed that this guy was Kidd, but Conan couldn't find out what Kidd did with the lock.

"How?" When the three of them returned, he asked, standing in the garden next to the service desk.

"The doors to the roof are locked." Xiaolan replied.

"If my reasoning is correct," Kidd said confidently, "Kidd won't come in from the roof!" ”

"Yes, yes..."

After a brief conversation, Kidd walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, while Ran and Conan stayed at the desk.

Yuan Zi grabbed Conan without saying anything, "Xiaolan, I'll help you take care of Conan, and you two will find a place to go for a walk." ”

Conan struggled.

"No, besides, I always think he's a little weird..."

Conan stopped struggling and threw a reassuring look at Lan.

"Huh?"

"Because he doesn't usually say that..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean I'm cute or something..."

Conan nodded in agreement. It's you, Lan!

"Xiaolan, haven't you forgotten what that guy confessed to you?" Yuanzi smiled evilly, "He must be worried that you will reject him, and he is deliberately currying favor with you~"

As a good best friend, of course, Yuanzi heard from Xiaolan about Xinyi's hasty confession to Xiaolan, and immediately helped analyze the reason why Shinichi didn't look right.

Xiaolan thought for a moment and felt that what Yuan Zi said made sense.

Conan's face changed instantly.

……

On the other side, elementary school students are standing side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out, and it is dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun is shining on the earth.

Kidd walked over to them and watched together.

Kaedehara, Ashbara, and Dr. Ashbara sat at the table drinking juice.

"This guy is so daring," Dr. Asasa whispered, "to pretend to be Shinichi." ”

The "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him not only did not take the initiative to talk to them, but even deliberately avoided talking, so the doctor thought that he was Kidd and not the third Kudo Shinichi.

"I guess I think it's easy to start..."

"But," Gray Hara took a sip of juice through a straw, "at least it saves time to find him..."

"yes," Kaedehara nodded in agreement, "What's even more daring is to appear in his true form..."

The Doctor and Gray Plains were stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Look, am I pretty handsome?"

“… Flatter yourself. Gray Yuan glanced at Kaede Yuan angrily.

"And he's very famous," Kaedehara continued, looking at Kidd in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "He also looks like a high school student..."

Gray Plains mourned thoughtfully.

At this time, Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Conan, who had a tangled face, walked over to this side, and they ended the topic for the time being.

It just so happened that Kidd also asked questions to the elementary school students, because they didn't lower their voices, so they attracted everyone's attention.

"I ask you, do you know who Napoleon was?"

"Yes, I know!" Mitsuhiko replied, "He's a French hero who once conquered Europe, right?" ”

"Very well, then let's preview first," Kidd put his hands in his pockets, "I'll come up with a question about Napoleon." ”

"Huh? Is there something going to be wrong with Shinichi's brother? ”

"That's like Dr. Akasa."

"It can't be a bad joke, right?"

The elementary school students questioned one by one, but the one who was most seriously injured was Dr. Asasa who was still thinking about the meaning of Kaedehara's words.

"I'm asking questions that will teach you about history." Kidd said, then shouted toward Kaedehara and Conan, "Think about it, too! ”

Slightly curious about Kidd's riddle level, Kaedehara listened carefully.

"Listen," said Kidd, "there were two Japanese men who built houses on Napoleon's land, and which of the following two men were they?" One, Mr. Funano, two, Mr. Furuno, three, Mr. Fukano. ”

"Mr. Funano, Mr. Furuno, Mr. Fukano..."

"There are ふ与の in the three surnames..."

"Ah, I know who it is!" Xiaolan quickly thought of it.

"Shhhh I can't say it yet. Kidd made a secret gesture to Ran.

Mitsuhiko pondered, "The difference between them is the word in the middle..."

"I see!" Sonoko was inspired by Mitsuhiko's words, "It's Fuyuno and Furuno, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"Because only the middle of Fukano is KA! If the middle is KA, it is Chinese, so Mr. Fukano is Chinese! ”

"Uh..."

"What, am I wrong?" Looking at Kidd's speechless expression, the garden was a little unhappy.

"That's right, but that's not how it works." Xiaolan said.

"I ask you," Conan couldn't help but come over, "you know Napoleon famously said... Don't I have the word impossible in my dictionary? ”

"Ah, I've heard it before!"

"The question is based on his famous saying," Conan explained, "The land can also be called the place of the land (dictionary), and the word refers to the words on the door plate, that is, my land does not have the word "deep field" (impossible). ”

"I see," the doctor realized.

The riddle time ended, but although the question was changed, it was still a cold joke, and the elementary school students couldn't help but complain a few words.

Conan was a little tangled.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't want to debunk Kidd directly, but he was worried about what Kidd would do to Xiaolan. It was just that in the middle of his struggle, he felt that he was once again being pulled by the garden.

Xiaolan, who was standing beside Kidd, hesitated slightly.

"Lan," Kidd apparently noticing her hesitation, "you have something to say to me, don't you?" Where are we going? ”

He pointed to the other side of the booth, where the elevator was in between, so it was out of sight and not overheard.

Xiaolan, who was a little hesitant, nodded in agreement.

Conan, who realized that something was wrong, couldn't care about thinking of a solution anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Xiaolan, he is not the new first brother!" ”

"Huh?"

"Nasty imp!" Yuan Zi couldn't help but hug Conan and cover Conan's mouth, "It's okay, Xiaolan, you guys go quickly!" This little imp must just be jealous..."

"What are you talking about, Garden!"

"Oh, it seems that Xiaolan, you are quite popular."

Kidd winked at Conan stealthily, and then took the lead in his steps.

Conan tried to struggle for a moment, but found that Sonoko seemed to be trying to stop himself with all his strength this time, and he couldn't help but show a desperate gaze.

"Conan, be good!"

Ran said to Conan, and then followed Kidd.

The elementary school students were a little curious, and Motota wanted to eavesdrop on him, but was stopped by the sensible Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, and Conan, who wanted to cry without tears, cast a pleading glance at Kaedehara.

Kaedehara sighed and looked at Ashbara.

"Come with me, will you?"

Gray Yuan glanced at Conan with some amusement, and then nodded slightly.

The other side.

"Alright, Lan," Kidd continued to look out the window at the sunset with his hands in his pockets, "is there anything you want to say to me?" I'm listening to it all. ”

"Shinichi, have you forgotten?"

Xiaolan was a little unhappy.

Hearing "Shinichi" offer to talk to her alone, she thought that "Shinichi" knew what she was going to say, but now she looked like she had forgotten that she had said that she would respond to his confession...

"How so, Lan." Kide said in a serious tone, "I take everything you say to heart. ”

Flim tongue, not at all like Shinichi.

But what the garden said was right.,Shinichi is probably also waiting for his response.,I'm a little afraid that I'll refuse...

She's been dragging it out for a long time...

Thinking back to the anger she had given herself, Xiaolan looked at Shinichi's side face and plucked up her courage, "That... Shinichi, you close your eyes..."

"Huh?" Kidd was stunned for a moment.

"Hurry up!"

"Oh... Well..."

Kidd closed his eyes in obedience.

He looked like he had realized what was going to happen next, with a slight shyness on his face.

Xiaolan was slightly distracted.

The reason why she told Shinichi on the phone that she would not respond to him until they met was not only because she wanted him to come back early, but also because she wanted to respond to Shinichi's confession in this way.

But...

It's still too embarrassing.

Xiaolan was a little entangled.

If Shinichi had just confessed to himself again, he would probably be able to muster up the courage quickly, but so long has passed since Shinichi confessed, and Shinichi always gave her a feeling that she had forgotten such a thing, which made her unable to raise her courage and made her feel that something was wrong.

However, Shinichi has already confessed to himself, and it's time for him to respond...
