Conan's other self

After successfully preventing the elementary school students from planning their next haunted house adventure, Maplehara was able to live a peaceful life.

Now he is using his memory in Hawaii to learn various technologies every day, or helping Dr. A Li make inventions.

After all, he lived in the doctor's house every day and relied on the doctor for various expenses such as food. Although the doctor didn't mind, Maplehara couldn't feel at ease.

Originally, he was neither a genius who could publish papers in top journals at the age of eleven, nor a hands-on expert who had been good at handicrafts since he was a child. If Kudo Shinichi hadn't learned some messy things in Hawaii, he would have only given... Dr. A Li is responsible for causing trouble.

Now, some simple tasks can still be done.

Moreover, he has many "ideas".

Today was a sunny and sunny day, not suitable for a stay-at-home guy to go out, so he stayed at home and worked with Dr. A Li to modify the "snoring-eliminating earplugs". As mentioned before, this earplug can independently block the sound of snoring without affecting the reception of other sounds at all.

After the modification, this earplug will be equipped with a small roulette wheel, which can optionally block certain sounds.

Feng Yuan didn’t understand the principle, although Dr. A Li said it was quite simple.

In this way, he was responsible for assembling, testing, recording data, waiting for Dr. A Li to transform, and then repeating the above process again, occasionally interspersed with the process of dragging Dr. A Li out of the explosion ruins.

In order to sell the product and realize his dream of becoming a millionaire, Dr. Ali did more. By the time the two finished work, the sky had already darkened.

"Doctor, I'm going to order takeout."

"Okay," Dr. Ali happily put away the finished earplugs, "Ah, by the way, Xiaokong, today I want to eat chicken steak, cake, and Coke!"

It's so unhealthy.

Fengyuan complained in his heart and walked out of the workshop to make a phone call.

Dr. A Li's diet highlights three highs and Laman. Fengyuan tried to persuade him several times, but the effect was not great, so he did not force it.

According to his nature, he doesn't like to force things.

At this point, he adheres to Confucius's "advice and good way, stop if it doesn't work, don't humiliate yourself", that is to say, if you can persuade, you can do it, and if it doesn't work, leave it alone.

Maplehara picked up the phone.

Then he did nothing and just put down the phone.

"Maplehara, Maplehara!" Edogawa Conan's voice came from far away. Conan was running out of breath in a primary school uniform. He opened the door and shouted, and was relieved to see Maplehara right in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Fengyuan!" Conan took a breath and said, "Hurry, help! Our identity is about to be exposed by Xiaolan!"

During the day, he followed Uncle Maoli and encountered a case. As a result, he was obsessed with the case and got carried away, which aroused Maolilan's suspicion.

"... Then why don't you just mention me more?"

"It's useless! It's all because you said last time that you were sent out for foster care," Conan said, "She now thinks you are Shinichi's relative, and I am Shinichi himself."

"...So it's you who's identity is revealed, not us."

"Don't worry about the details! I have to go back quickly, otherwise Xiaolan will become suspicious," Conan said as he put the bow-tie voice changer into Maplehara's hand. "Anyway, wait for my news and call me when the time comes. Give it to Xiaolan!”

Holding the bow-tie voice changer, Fengyuan watched Conan run out in a hurry, speechless.

He actually also has a voice changer, but it's a button-type one. Because it's smaller, it's only preloaded with Kudo Shinichi's voice.

After telling Dr. A Li to remember not to make any noise later to avoid being exposed, Maplehara sat near the phone and waited.

It didn't take long for his smartphone to light up.

The message from Conan was just a few numbers entered randomly.

Fengyuan stood up, walked over to pick up the phone, and then turned on the button voice changer.

"Hey, Maori Detective Agency..." Mao Lilan's voice came from the other side, sounding a little impatient.

"Hi, Xiaolan! Long time no see. Do you miss me?"

"Who, who would miss you -" Mao Lilan retorted subconsciously, and then reacted, "Xin, Xinyi...? How could it be, Xinyi..."

Mao Lilan looked at Conan, who had a silly smile on his face.

She thought Conan was Shinichi just now, but...

"What, luckily I miss you a lot. Without you, Watson, my brain feels like it's getting rusty."

Shinichi misses me...

Mao Lilan's face turned red, "I don't want to be Watson!"

Don't say unnecessary words, you guy! Although he couldn't hear what Feng Yuan was saying, Conan was still roaring inwardly.

"Really? Then who do you want to be...it can't be Mrs. Hudson, right?"

"What! The new idiot! Really!" Xiaolan said dissatisfied, "It's a rare call. I don't want to hear what you said about Sherlock Holmes!"

"Sorry, sorry... Look, Xiaolan, we haven't been separated much before. This time we haven't seen each other for so long, I don't even know what to say..."

"Shinichi..."

"Ah, by the way, Xiaolan! How are you doing lately, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's still the same every day. But Shinichi, listen to me..."

Conan listened for a while and looked at the smile on Mao Lilan's face, slightly in trance. He almost forgot the last time Xiaolan smiled so happily.

He wanted to change back.

More than ever.

…

after a while.

Fengyuan hung up the phone, yawned, and then looked at the time.

Noticing that the restaurant where Dr. Agasa wanted to eat was about to close, Maplehara quickly picked up the phone and ordered another takeaway.

Dr. Ali, who was eavesdropping in the distance, came over with a look of resentment.

"Sorry... Doctor, I didn't expect Xiaolan to be so eloquent." Apart from the perfunctory response to Shinichi's current situation, it was basically Xiaolan who was talking and he was listening.

After not seeing each other for a while, Xiaolan seemed to want to share everything that happened after the separation with "him", even the cases that she least wanted to talk about in the past were told to him one by one.

Dr. A Li gave Feng Yuan a look, and then went back to making inventions and waiting for the meal.

Maplehara walked around the back of the sofa and sat opposite Conan.

Conan has been sitting here for a long time, with his head hanging down as if thinking about life.

"Hey, Maplehara," Conan said, "I have a question."

"Um?"

"You said before that we are all Kudo Shinichi, right?" Conan raised his head, "I think I am Kudo Shinichi, and you think you are Kudo Shinichi. This is understandable... But why did you think that I was Kudo Shinichi in the first place? Is he also Kudo Shinichi like you?"

Are you doubting me again? Feng Yuan suddenly realized. But he was already prepared for this.

But before he could respond, Conan immediately continued: "I basically heard the conversation between you and...Xiaolan just now. I can't even remember some of the memories you mentioned on the phone about being with Xiaolan. , after listening to what you said, I vaguely recalled that something like this happened."

Conan looked at Fengyuan, looking a little confused, "So...I'm very curious."

"Am I really Kudo Shinichi?" Conan said.

...?

Co-author, are you doubting yourself?

This was beyond Fengyuan's expectation.

After noticing Conan sneaking over quietly, he deliberately mentioned a few things on the phone that only Shinichi and Xiaolan knew.

This will not only deepen Xiaolan's trust, but also deepen Conan's trust.

I just didn't expect it to come to this.

Could it be that you are pretending to test me like this?

Feng Yuan's thoughts changed and he said: "What are you thinking about? Of course you are Kudo Shinichi. Isn't it normal to forget some things? Besides, you have remembered them now, right?"

"Then why are you so sure?"

"Because I am the subconscious and you are the conscious." Fengyuan scored twice.

"..." Again?

"When Kudo Shinichi passed out and his body changed," Maplehara added, "his subconscious was still awake."

Conan's eyes widened, "So you saw everything?"

"Uh... I can't say it's seeing, it's more like feeling," Fengyuan continued, "and the shrinking and splitting almost happened at the same time..."

stare…

Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Conan, who had been fooled, seemed to return to his normal appearance in an instant, which made Fengyuan feel that this guy was deliberately pretending to be serious to test him.

And even though I had patched up a loophole, I had to tell another lie for it... I felt like I would be exposed sooner or later if this continued.

Life is so hard.

After a while, when Dr. Ali asked, Conan remembered that he had not told Xiaolan when he came over, so he called in a panic and said that he was playing games at the doctor's house and would not go back.

Xiaolan was relieved that she couldn't find Conan.

And Maplehara and Conan really started playing video games.

Two people, one is a game idiot, the other is a long-term disciple of Fengling Yueying Sect. He has disabled his hand and is not familiar with the games of this era. In the end, they ended up fighting each other with a winner.

This gave Conan a rare experience of the fun of the game.
