Conan's other self

Chapter 19 Familiar Strangers (3)



Maplehara did not see the appraisal report.

Mr. and Mrs. Kudo and Dr. Agasi had no intention of mentioning it. For the Kudo couple, doubting their "son" is always an unspeakable thing, even if it is reasonable.

However, even though he didn't take the initiative to mention it, the vague hints and compensatory attitude still made Maplehara aware of the results of the appraisal.

But it’s good to be sure.

He planned to ask Dr. Ali, who was more familiar with it, after the matter was over... Now, since no one would mention it, he wouldn't mention it either.

Soon, Kudo Yusaku mentioned an original "test" plan.

The plan is to make Kudo Shinichi understand the huge dangers he may face - an ordinary character who can come up with this kind of drug is obviously not a trivial person - and at the same time see how Kudo Shinichi behaves in the face of danger.

The subject of this test has not been determined until the identification results come out today. But now, of course, it’s confirmed.

Edogawa Conan, who still knew nothing about all this, was fortunate enough to be selected as a tester.

One of the original tester candidates, Maplehara, naturally joined the director team. In the eyes of everyone, no one understands Kudo Shinichi better than him.

In the plan, Kudo Yukiko will disguise herself as her mother with the identity of "Edogawa", pick up Shinichi from the Mori Detective Agency or Dr. Agasa's house, and then drive to the place where Shinichi is "imprisoned".

"What do you think, Shin-chan?" Kudo Yukiko asked, quite amused by how Shinichi wanted to test Shinichi.

"Hmm... Once we are out of sight of the Mori family, we should be able to stun Conan with the drug," Maplehara said. "Otherwise, it will give him a chance to escape."

"And... I think this may not have the effect you want."

The Kudo couple actually wanted to persuade the two Shinichi to go abroad with them, but Maplehara said that they had to see what they wanted to express first.

"Isn't this risk to one's life enough?"

"Not enough." Feng Yuan shook his head.

Afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

"Hey! Conan..." Xiaolan looked at Conan playing video games with her hands behind her back and said dissatisfiedly, "Did you listen to what I said!?"

"Why?"

"I'm talking about asking you to call Xiao Kong over for dinner..."

"Oh...he has something to do with the doctor today, Sister Xiaolan..." It seems that he wants to improve his commonly used anesthesia needle watch to see if it can be changed to one that can fire continuously? Conan thought and dealt with it casually.

But Xiaolan didn't seem to be able to deal with it so easily today.

"What! Really! Your parents have abandoned you since they were transferred overseas," Xiaolan said angrily, "Xiaokong is not willing to live here yet. He eats takeout with Dr. A Li every day. This How can that be done! It’s so outrageous!”

"It's too much..." Xiaolan felt a little distressed when she thought about Feng Yuankong being sent back and forth. Looking at Conan who had been eating and drinking here, she felt that she was not as pleasing to the eye as before.

"Indeed, not only have you never met your parents, they haven't even received a letter, and there is no news at all..." Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting next to him, helped.

Conan shouted something bad in his heart. He hasn't told his parents about his shrinkage and separation. Besides... the identity of Edogawa Conan is inherently fake, and he can't have any parents...

Ding dong——

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Lan went to open the door, but Uncle Maori did not give up questioning Conan. Conan had no choice but to think about what to do while doing Tai Chi. But just as he was pulling his hair anxiously, Xiao Lan, who said something to the visitor at the door, turned his head in surprise.

"Conan! Someone is here to pick you up!"

"Huh?"

"Look at the door..." Mao Lilan glanced at Conan with relief, then looked at the door, "Your mother is here to pick you up!"

"...Huh?" Conan looked at the fat middle-aged woman with short curly black hair and glasses and was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Nan, I'm so sorry! I left you here alone..." Tears filled the corners of the visitor's eyes, "You must be very lonely... Don't worry! Mom is here to take you home!"

Before Edogawa Conan could figure out the situation, he was immediately embraced by someone.

what happened? Edogawa Conan is just a fake name he made up...Who is this woman?

Something's wrong!

"Who are you! I don't know you!" Conan struggled to break away from his arms and shouted loudly, hoping to get help from Xiaolan and his uncle. He didn't want to be taken away like this.

"Eh? She's not..." Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, looking back and forth between the two of them.

"Oops! This kid is acting bad again... It's all my fault for leaving them for so long..." the visitor said, taking out a business card, "My name is Edogawa Fumyo, who is Edogawa Conan's mother. …”

Looking at the business card, Xiaolan was a little convinced.

It is normal for a child who has been away from home for a long time to have trouble with his mother... She can also understand Conan, but... Xiaolan said warily: "So Xiao Kong... ah no, where is Doyle? Are you going to keep him alone? Bar?"

"How could it be?" The woman who called herself Edogawa Fumiyo smiled, "Doyle's child is in my car... We came back this time to make up for these two children——"

"Oh..." Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, "I still want to say goodbye to that child..."

"Oh, that kid Doyle doesn't seem to like the scene of saying goodbye, but I can also see that the kid is actually very reluctant to leave you..."

The topic inexplicably shifted from him to Feng Yuan, but Conan's heart became even heavier.

Feng Yuan might have also been taken away by this woman... What is the purpose of this person?

After looking at Xiaolan who was chatting with "Edogawa Fumyo", Conan made a decision in his heart. He didn't know who the other party was, just in case... Xiaolan and the others couldn't be implicated, and if Feng Yuan had already been taken away...

He had to go up and have a look.

Soon, the visitor completely convinced Maori and his daughter. Although she was happy for the two Edogawas, when it came time to separate, Xiaolan was still a little reluctant to let go of Conan. Even Uncle Maori, who had always been unhappy with Conan, was a little sad.

Conan seemed to be absent-minded, which was only interpreted as a sign of reluctance.

Edogawa Fumiyo pressed Conan on the passenger seat, locked the door, said goodbye to Mori and his daughter again, and then drove away.

"Aunt...who are you?" Conan secretly prepared a watch with an anesthetic needle and asked cautiously.

"Didn't I just say...I am your mother..."

"No. You-"

"Kudo Yukiko." Edogawa Fumiyo said suddenly. Conan was stunned for a moment, having a very bad premonition in his heart, and his face became ugly.

"Your mother is Kudo Yukiko." Edogawa Fumiyo said while driving the car. "She was once Japan's leading actress. She won various awards at the age of 19. Her acting skills and beauty were popular all over the world at that time... Later... "

Edogawa Fumiyo was very familiar with Kudo Yukiko's life, and Conan's face became increasingly ugly. He had already made some assumptions, but it was really hard to accept that this day would come in this form...

"I'm right..." Edogawa Fumiyo said a lot, blowing Kudo Yukiko's mind to the extreme, "Kudo Shinichi!"

Is this guy an accomplice of those men in black? hateful…

Edogawa Conan's hand quietly touched the anesthesia needle watch. There is a traffic light not far ahead... If you are there...

Edogawa Fumiyo seemed completely unaware of this.

This made Conan relax a little. The car moved forward at a constant speed, and Conan began to count down in his mind.

However…

Just as they were approaching the intersection, a hand suddenly came out from behind Conan. Before Conan could react, he covered his mouth and nose with a towel through the back of the chair.

How, how could it be...he didn't notice that there was someone in the back seat...hidden somewhere?

The drug entered the body through the mouth and nose, and Conan's consciousness gradually drifted away.
