The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

grandmother……

Looking at the kind woman wearing a pink woolen coat in front of them, Conan and Kuroba Kaito were inevitably stunned.

It turns out that my grandma... is still alive?

Growing up, neither Kudo Yusaku nor Kuroba Toichi took the initiative to mention the family situation of the previous generation.

Whenever Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Toto asked their fathers where their grandparents were when they were children, their parents would always excuse them by saying "in a very far away place".

After a long time, the two stopped asking.

Because in the adult world, "in a very distant place" means dead.

But now, their grandmothers appeared in front of them.

"you……"

"Really our grandma?"

Conan's eyes were still a little dazed, but he still asked tentatively.

Having been deceived by his parents and Dr. Ali before, he is now very wary of this kind of thing.

"Of course..."

Shizuka Kudo smiled and nodded, bending down to look at Conan who was standing short.

"Your current name is Edogawa Conan, right?"

"It looks exactly like Yusaku when he was a child..."

As soon as these words came out, Yukiko Kudo and Chikage Kuroba, who were standing on both sides, grinned and twitched twice.

Because this sentence also applies to Kuroba Kaito and Kuroba Toichi.

It should be said that the four of them all look like they were carved out of the same mold, but they are just at different ages.

Sure enough, the next second, Shizuka Kudo turned to look at Kuroba Kaito next to her, and said with a smile: "Kaito, you look exactly like the thief when you were a child..."

At this moment, Yukiko interrupted: "Why don't we sit down and talk?"

"Yes." Kuroba Qiankage also agreed: the meeting next door should continue for a while..."

After a few people sat down on the sofa, Kudo Shizuka introduced herself again.

"My name is Shizuka Kudo, and I am the biological mother of Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku, also your grandmother."

"This is my business card for you..."

Kudo Shizuka took out two pieces of paper from her lady's handbag and handed them to Conan and Kuroba Kaito respectively.

The two took the business card and stared at it blankly.

Professor Shizuka Kudo, School of Biology, Miskatonic University.

Conan took the business card and checked it several times to make sure it said Miskatonic University, Qin Zhibo's alma mater.

"This is my current job..."

Kudo Shizuka buttoned the metal button of her handbag and continued: "Maybe some of you haven't heard of it. This is a university located in Massachusetts, USA..."

Conan thought to himself: Of course he has heard of this university.

I guess the person next to me is the only one who hasn’t heard of it, right?

Looking to the side, Kuroba Kaito nodded clearly and remembered another knowledge point.

Shizuka Kudo continued: "Maybe you are a little strange, why I haven't seen you or even contacted you for so many years..."

"Actually, this matter has something to do with my husband, your grandfather."

"His name is Kuroba Yoichi..."

When saying this, a trace of unspeakable bitterness appeared on Kudo Shizuka's face.

She pursed her lips and then continued: "Speaking of the first time I met Yoruichi, it was about 45 years ago."

"At that time, I had just graduated from the University of Tokyo and was working as an ordinary researcher at a medical research institute in Tokyo."

"It was a rainy day. I worked overtime from the institute and came out very late. I was waiting for the bus at the station as usual."

"At that time, a man in a black trench coat ran out of the rain and shook the water off his head like a small animal."

"I subconsciously stepped aside, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, he talked to me without hesitation."

“His chatting style is humorous and always puts people in a good mood.”

"We talked until late that day, from the station to the car, and then said goodbye reluctantly when we got off the bus."

"Every day that followed, I deliberately worked overtime late just to meet him during that time."

"After that, we fell in love."

"After we officially started dating, I slowly learned about his identity."

"Yorichi Kuroba is an explorer, to be precise, a freelance writer for a geographical magazine."

"Every once in a while, he would pack up his bags and leave where he lived, and then go to some corner of the world for an extraordinary adventure."

"Each time, he would write an article about his adventures and publish it in a geographical magazine."

"So, he and I agreed never to ask where he was going, but to watch his adventures full of surprises in geographical magazines."

"Three years passed like this."

"In the past three years, he has been away for about a week every month, going on adventures around the world, and then writing articles for magazines."

"And I also detected pregnancy one day."

"After I found out I was pregnant, for the first time, I no longer looked forward to seeing his adventure stories in magazines, but instead eagerly hoped that he would come back safely."

"So the first time after Yoruichi came back, I told him about my pregnancy and my idea of ​​stopping him from going out on adventures in the future."

"And he was silent for a long time, and then told me the truth about his life experience..."

At this point, Shizuka Kudo's eyes flashed with memories, and her mind seemed to return to that night.

"Jingxiang, I don't want to lie to you anymore..."

"Actually, the night you and I met for the first time was not a coincidence."

"I was born into a very large family, and every child born from this family did not have any freedom."

"All family members must accept the family's arrangements for everything, even marriage partners."

"And the person I was arranged to marry by my family is you..."

Kudo Shizuka's hands tightly grasped the metal ring of the handbag, frowning slightly, with a trace of pain in her eyes.

"I was shocked, but also angry."

"I feel very deceived."

"But Yoruichi held me tightly and said that his feelings for me were not false, so he chose to tell the truth at this time."

"He also said that in fact, his job is not to be an explorer. It was just a cover."

"His real job is actually..."

"Killer."

When they heard this, Conan and Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened involuntarily.

Their grandfather is actually a killer?

Originally, it was outrageous enough for Kuroba's lineage to be here, such as Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Kaito, to be international thieves, but now they are even involved in human lives.

Now Conan can't take the public exam at all...

"K-killer?"

It was also the first time Yukiko heard about this, and her mouth opened slightly in surprise.

Kudo Shizuka nodded affirmatively, "I was just like you at first, I didn't believe what he said."

"I didn't believe him until he took out a pistol from his suitcase..."

"Yorichi told me that their family business is very large and needs someone to take care of everything from white to black, and he belongs to the 'black' one."

"In order to maintain the family's fine bloodline, all family members will be assigned a partner outside the family after reaching the appropriate age."

"This target is usually an outstanding talent in a certain industry. All family members must find ways to marry the target and have children."

"The children born will also be brought back to the family for training at the right time, and will eventually become part of the family..."

"If anyone tries to defy this rule, there is no end in sight."

"After Ye Yi told me the truth, I thought about hating him, but in the end I had to accept my fate..."

"But no one expected that when I went for a check-up in the hospital, I found out that I was pregnant with twins."

"So, Yoruichi thought of a way to save at least one child."

"He will take one child back to the family to work with him, and the other child will follow me to live a normal life."

"In this way, after I gave birth to twins, Yoichi took away the eldest of the twins, and I took away the second, and we lived separately from then on..."

Kudo Shizuka did not say any more, but several people present already knew the follow-up.

Later, Kuroba Yoruichi's child was named Kuroba Toichi, and Kudo Shizuka's child was named Kudo Yusaku.

The expressions on Conan and Kuroba Kaito's faces remained stunned, speechless for a long time.

They didn't expect that their life experience would be so rough.

What makes the two of them even more concerned is, what kind of "family" has such a powerful background?

"Grandma Kudo..."

Conan was a little unaccustomed to the sudden appearance of her grandmother, but she still asked her doubts.

"Which family was it that threatened you at that time?"

At this moment, the room door suddenly opened, and Kudo Yusaku, Kuroba Toichi and Qin Zhibo walked in.

"According to my memory, that family does not have a particularly unified surname..."

As soon as the Kuroba thief came to Kuroba Kaito and Conan, he solemnly said: "But the surnames of the members of that family all start with the word 'black', such as Kuroba, Kurosawa, Kuroiwa..."

"That family will treat the children in the family as normal children until they are 16 years old."

"However, after the age of 16, all children will be assigned a future direction and gradually begin to take over the family business. For example, children with high scientific talent will engage in scientific research, and those with strong physical functions will engage in activities such as assassination and smuggling."

"My father, Kuroba Yoruichi, knew that my physical abilities were relatively strong and I would probably be assigned to assassinate him, so he tried to find a way to get me out of the family before I turned 16."

"My father also sacrificed himself for this..."

"After that, I changed my name to Kuroba Toichi and became a magician. I toured the world while looking for my brother."

"It wasn't until later that I gradually came into contact with Yuzu..."

Kuroba Toichi's original name was not Kuroba Toichi, but Kuroba Mamoru.

It means making sacrifices to protect your younger brother.

Before Kuroba Yoruichi decided to sacrifice himself, he was left with only one clue to find his relatives, that is, his mother's surname was "Kudo".

There are too many people with the surname Kudo in this world, and Kuroba Toichi has been searching for them for a long time to no avail.

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that a reporter mistakenly mistook "Phantom Thief 1412" written by Kudo Yusaku on a note as "Phantom Thief KID".

This not only gave the name "Kaitou Kidd" to the world, but also made Kuroba Toichi pay attention to this young mystery novelist.

Through several private contacts, Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku gradually established that they were brothers.

When he heard about his father's troubled life experience, Kuroba Kaito's expression could not help but be heavy, and he hung his head slightly and didn't know what to say.

Conan's mood was also a bit complicated.

It was somewhat difficult for him to accept that his grandfather was a killer and that he might have come from a family with a lot of bad records.

But what shocked him today was more than that.

"Actually, when I tell you these things today, there is another more important thing I want you to know..."

Kudo Yu said in a serious and solemn tone.

"Mr. Qin conducted some investigations regarding the origin of that family and told us the results."

"I think you, as our children, also have the right to know this..."

"That family is actually the family established by the organization's boss, Renye Karasuma."

When Kudo Yusaku finished speaking, Conan and Kuroba Kaito were stunned.

Conan even wondered if his ears had heard it wrong.

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the expressions of the people around him, especially his father and Qin Zhibo.

After repeatedly checking the extremely serious looks in Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku's eyes, Conan confirmed that he had heard correctly.

He is actually related to the boss of the organization!

The organization boss Karasuma Renya is actually his... ancestor?

This sudden news made Conan's brain feel like it was struck by lightning, and all his thoughts went blank for a while.

Kuroba Kaito's reaction was smaller, and he quickly asked Kuroba Toichi: "Dad, is this true?"

"It's true, Kaito..."

Kuroba Toichi's attitude is obvious.

In fact, when Qin Zhibo called the two brothers over to explain the matter after the first meeting in Boston, their reaction was probably the same.

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.

They never dreamed in their lives that the organizational boss they were about to fight was actually related to them by blood.

But after calming down, they all thought it through.

Even if they are related by blood, they are now on opposite sides to the organization.

Just like the former Kuroba Yoichi, in order to protect his children, he also chose to fight against the rules of the family.

Moreover, judging from some of Kuroba Toichi's past experiences in the family, the boss of the organization just uses the descendants of the family as tools.

In other words, apart from being related to them by blood, the current organizational boss is on the opposite side in every other aspect.

Whether it's for the children, for the world, or for revenge for past tragic experiences.

They all decided on this "filial son and virtuous grandson"...
