Conan's other self

"School is really bad," Conan complained to Fengyuan on the way out of school, "it's just that we have to attend classes for two days in a row at this time."

Fengyuan, who didn't know how to answer this, chose to remain silent.

Last night, Miyano Akemi left on the same flight as Kudo Yusaku and his wife after dressing up, and now the time has come. Not long ago, they also received a message from their mobile phone.

For Maplehara and Conan, this matter is over.

After all, he can't help with the follow-up work there.

Conan ran to the doctor's house in the morning and planned to talk to Maplehara about Miyano Akemi. He happened to see Maplehara who was about to go out and was told that he would have class today.

This is the fourth time Conan has complained about this.

"The high school class doesn't have to go to class today," Conan continued. This was something Conan had never said before, so Feng Yuan listened a little more seriously. "Early in the morning, Xiaolan wanted to ask the guy in the garden to clean up with her. It’s really troublesome for our family to come here, and there’s no one to ask her to go…”

"So you didn't go in the end?"

"Yes. I told her, 'Brother Shinichi's parents seem to be back,' and she gave up the idea."

Although Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko are staying in the hotel these nights, Conan is still worried that they will go back to Kudo's house and Xiaolan will notice something is wrong.

"Then the next time she goes there, she will still find that no one has lived there for a long time, and she will still feel something is wrong." Fengyuan pointed out the problem.

"Then what can we do," Conan said casually, "at such a critical time, it's better to fool him first and then talk..."

The two of them talked all the way, and soon arrived near the Maori Detective Agency, and then saw a young woman with a familiar silhouette walking up the stairs to the agency.

"A commission?" Conan's eyes lit up.

In the previous operation to save Miyano Akemi, he basically did not use his strength or wisdom, but now is the time when he is very interested in the incident.

What Feng Yuan thought about was the identity of the person just now... Although he only saw the side face, because Feng Yuan's memory was clearer, he knew who it was after recalling it.

After taking a look at Conan and realizing that he didn't seem to have reacted yet, Fengyuan decided to go up and have a look.

"Looking for Kudo Shinichi?" Uncle Mori looked surprised when he heard the contents of the request. "You are also a high school detective, right?"

"Eh?"

"Dad!" Xiaolan called Uncle Maori dissatisfied, and then looked at the client, "I'm really sorry. But, do you have anything to do with Shinichi?"

The door was open, Fengyuan and Conan walked in directly, and Xiaolan happened to be talking, so the two of them skipped the greeting phase.

"Shinichi?" The client was stunned for a moment, "Are you and Kudo...?"

"My name is Mao Lilan," Xiaolan said, "I am just a friend who grew up with Shinichi..."

"Ahem." Uncle Maori, who had been left alone, strengthened his sense of presence.

"Ah, I'm sorry. That's it," the woman said to Uncle Mori, "people from our school's reasoning research group rented a villa to celebrate my birthday this weekend. I wrote to Kudo a long time ago to invite him, but But there has been no response.”

"Today I went to his house to look for him," the woman continued. "I found no one at his house. After asking around, I found out that he hadn't been home for a while..."

Although he was very experienced in finding people, Uncle Mori was not interested in finding Kudo Shinichi at all, so he decided to find any reason to refuse the commission.

But at this time, Xiaolan spoke hesitantly.

"Um...can I ask your name?"

"Asami Uchida," the woman said, "My name is Asami Uchida. Sorry, I just forgot to introduce myself."

Conan's face changed slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Only then did Xiaolan realize that the person who wanted to entrust her father to find Shinichi was Asami Uchida, the student council president of her school in the first grade.

Seeing Xiaolan chatting with the client, Uncle Maori, who didn't want to accept the commission, felt happy.

During the friendly exchange with Uchida Asami, Xiaolan also said something about Shinichi.

"That's right, Kudo has never told me this before..."

"Senior," Xiaolan asked curiously, "You must have graduated, right? Why do you still invite Shinichi?"

"Oh...because I thought he would definitely go," Asami Uchida said, her mood looking a little lower. "Did he forget...that confession four years ago?"

"Confess, confess!?"

"Yeah. But... you can't blame him." Uchida Asami said, showing a nostalgic look, "First love... fades easily."

…

The person who made the confession four years ago was actually Asami Uchida.

Maplehara also remembers it.

However, Uchida Asami's somewhat ambiguous words obviously caused Xiaolan to misunderstand. Xiaolan thought that Uchida Asami was Kudo Shinichi's first love.

Conan, who had had a bad premonition for a long time, had a rare display of high emotional intelligence, and soon realized that Xiaolan had misunderstood.

But he was just Conan now, so he had no choice but to make jokes, and soon the scene was messed up by him.

However, the gossip-loving Sonoko was not there, so after a while, Uchida Asami successfully resolved the misunderstanding.

Conan was relieved.

Conan's interference made Uchida Asami less interested in looking for Kudo Shinichi. Uncle Mouri happened to be a famous detective, so Uchida Asami invited them to attend the weekend reasoning seminar gathering.

The party was not today, and Fengyuan had no intention of following it.

So after saying goodbye to Uncle Maori and Xiaolan, he returned to the doctor's house alone, leaving Conan alone to continue dealing with the senior sister and Xiaolan.

The sky grew dark.

It looked like it was going to rain.

Fengyuan, who had been delayed for a while after watching a play, quickened his pace a little and finally rushed back before the rain fell.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and there was a faint rumble of thunder.

"Xiao Kong! You're back," Dr. Ali breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm about to give you an umbrella."

"Thank you Doctor."

"Ahem...the day has changed so fast," Dr. Ali changed the subject with some embarrassment, "It was sunny just now, and it will rain in the blink of an eye."

"Yes." Feng Yuan responded.

While he was talking, huge raindrops fell.

"Alas," the doctor couldn't help but sigh again, "It's raining so hard, I don't know if today's delivery can be delivered."

"..."

Things were just as Dr. Ali predicted.

Dr. Agasa, who had not eaten much during this period because of Miyano Akemi's incident, wanted to order delivery from his favorite restaurant again, but was told that the rain would not allow delivery.

After all, the delivery at this time is only handled by the store staff... So although Dr. Ali is very sorry, there is nothing he can do.

But...it's the same if I change a few houses.

This is troublesome.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and it was not very convenient to drive to pick it up, the two planned to wait until the rain stopped.

But the rain kept falling. There was no intention of stopping for a while.

Although he was not hungry, looking at Dr. Ali lying hungrily on the sofa, Maplehara still stood up and said, "I'll go to the nearby convenience store to buy some food, doctor."

"Huh?" Dr. A Li quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no. It's raining so hard——"

"I'll just wear a raincoat. It'll be fine." Fengyuan said, walking towards the door before the doctor could continue to refuse.

The raincoat is placed next to the umbrella stand at the door.

Boom——

Thunder pierced the sky.

Fengyuan opened the door and was stunned for a moment.

A small figure wrapped in a white coat walked with difficulty in the rain, holding on to the wall.
