Conan: Another Famous Detective

Room 1109.

Akira Hanomiya, Mengyu, Hattori Heiji, and Conan sat opposite each other on the guest sofa in the room.

"So, you were drugged by a mysterious organization, which turned you into the child you are now, and you temporarily stayed at the house of the girl you liked, waiting for an opportunity to investigate the information of that organization?" Hattori Heiji looked at Conan and asked.

"It's roughly like this." Conan nodded.

Maybe it was because he was teased too much by Yu Gongming and Meng Yu, or maybe during the period of becoming Conan, he gradually faced his feelings for Xiaolan.

When Conan heard the words "stay at the house of the girl he likes", he did not refute it like before, but acquiesced to this statement.

"Based on some clues, we already know that the members of that organization seem to be codenamed after alcohol. Known members include gin, vodka, sherry, etc." Mengyu added at the side.

"It seems that this is not an ordinary gang organization. You have a relationship with that organization, which is quite dangerous!" Hattori Heiji frowned.

"There is no way. From the moment my brother became smaller, we had no choice but to fight against that organization." Meng Yu said helplessly.

"Okay, now that I know about this, I will help you keep it a secret. At the same time, I will also pay attention to the organization's affairs in Osaka." Hattori Heiji said.

"Thank you very much, but you don't need to be too deliberate. We have secretly fought with that organization twice before. Their behavior is quite extreme. If they are caught at the slightest clue, they will erase the clues with the determination to survive by cutting off their tails. So your own safety is the top priority in everything." Yu Gongming reminded.

"I understand this. I will first get a sneak peek from my father. As the head of the Osaka Police Station, he may have heard of this organization." Hattori Heiji said.

"Thanks, Hattori." Conan thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome, but can you answer some of my questions?" Hattori Heiji asked.

The three of them cast questioning glances.

"It was the last time the diplomats were killed. Didn't I remember that Kudo passed out at the time? Then why did he reason with Hanomiya on the phone?"

"There is also your reason for this." Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Me?" Hattori Heiji was confused.

"Originally, my brother's cold was not that serious. He fainted at that time because the Baigan you gave him had some kind of reaction with the drug components in his body, causing his body to have adverse reactions."

"Shortly after fainting, my brother suddenly turned back into a high school student. Fortunately, Xiaolan went to see a doctor at that time, otherwise the secret might have been exposed."

"Then my brother put on Tatsumura Takayama's clothes, sneaked to the toilet, called Ming from the toilet, and the two of them reasoned together."

"I see... No wonder I always feel that Kudo seems to know too much about the details of the case. At that time, I thought that Hanomiya's description was detailed enough, but now it seems that Kudo was at the scene from the beginning!" Hattori Heiji suddenly said. .

"Yes, I had a severe headache at that time. I had already solved the secret room technique, but the moment I figured it out, my body couldn't hold on and I fainted." Conan said helplessly.

"Well, let's put it this way, even Kudo, who was in such a bad state at the time, found the truth, but I fell into a misunderstanding and felt more and more that I was so bad at that time!" Hattori Heiji said angrily.

"I think you know how you were feeling at that time, so you don't have to be so worried about it," Yu Gongming said.

"I know, I'm just complaining." Hattori Heiji smiled.

"Oh, by the way, when did you start to suspect that Conan was your brother?" Mengyu suddenly asked.

"Ah, it was at the Mycroft Hotel. I accidentally noticed that the face of the kid named Conan was somewhat similar to Kudo."

"Then, I suddenly recalled that during the diplomat murder incident, this kid named Conan actually judged the characteristics of the deceased to be poisoned at the same time as me and Hanomiya."

"Combining these two points, I started to have some doubts."

"When we arrived at the resort, Conan showed the same tone-deaf attributes as Kudo Shinichi, which further deepened my suspicions."

"Hey! Can you not mention this?" Conan was speechless.

Hattori Heiji ignored Conan's words and continued:

"In the case just now, when Conan initially inspected the scene, his expression was unusually calm when he saw the body with the heart stabbed. He even analyzed the strong characteristics of the murderer from the situation at the scene."

"Later, when all kinds of evidence pointed to Daisuke Fukuda, it was Conan who sensed something was wrong with us, and then started investigating with us."

"After discovering new clues from the surveillance, we should have roughly deduced the truth of the case, but we did not discuss it too much."

"Conan seemed to be able to keep up with our thoughts during the conversation and clearly understood what evidence we needed to collect."

"At the same time, through my intentional observation, I also discovered that the structure of Conan's watch is a bit strange. There seems to be a small hole in the middle of the outside of the watch."

"Combined with Uncle Mouri's nickname [Sleeping Kogoro], I suddenly had a guess."

"The so-called [Sleep] was actually caused by Conan using an anesthesia needle to knock him out, and the transmitter is this watch!"

"At this time, although my reason tells me that Edogawa Conan is probably Kudo Shinichi, I still don't believe this fact."

"After all, if Conan is Kudo, then this is a bit contrary to common sense."

"So, I decided to test Conan."

"It turns out that your test was successful. As soon as my brother heard the word [Kudo], his expression instantly collapsed." Meng Yu said helplessly.

"And it would be better not to say the explanation after that. Saying it will only confirm his identity as Kudou Shinichi." Akira Hanamiya commented.

"Uh...hehe..." Conan could only smile.

Even he himself wanted to give himself a slap in the face after recalling his reaction at that time.

"Well, it was also through Conan's reaction that I completely confirmed that Conan is Kudo's." Hattori Heiji said.

"So brother, don't look guilty every time you hear others think you know too much, and don't always look for something [these are all told to me by programs broadcast on TV]." "This kind of lie. In the eyes of smart people, it’s just too clumsy.”

"Well, apart from this excuse, there seems to be no other explanation for my abnormality at the crime scene!" Conan said awkwardly.

"You just have a preconceived idea. You always think that others will suspect you of becoming smaller as soon as they see you acting abnormally."

"Let me ask you, when you were in the first grade of elementary school, your knowledge reserve and reasoning ability were actually not bad, right? Even better than many adults, right?" Mengyu asked.

"Hmm~ Speaking of which, it's true..." Conan said

"Hattori is in a similar situation, right?" Mengyu looked at Hattori again.

"Although it's a bit immodest to say this, my reasoning ability was not bad when I was in elementary school." Hattori Heiji nodded.

"So, in addition to becoming smaller, there is actually a group of people called [geniuses] in this world."

"And you, Edogawa Conan, why can't you be a genius?"

"Genius?" Conan chewed the word and fell into deep thought for a while.

"This is an idea." Yu Gongming said:

"You are a genius elementary school student who is smarter than ordinary people. You also live in the home of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. You admire the famous detective Kudo Shinichi. You have a good relationship with the famous detective Akira Hanomiya. You also like to read mystery novels."

"Then you deliberately buy some reference books that transcend your age group and read them in front of Xiaolan."

"In this way, does your abnormal behavior at the crime scene have a more reasonable explanation?"
