Answer me...
Tell me, you and Shinichi are not the same person.
That way I won't be a complete fool who's been deceived.
This way, Shinichi won't be that mischievous bastard who hides by my side like a prankster, watching me miss him, think about him, worry about him, and secretly amuses himself with it.
The rain suddenly intensified.
The open window let in a chilly draft, and the rain pattered down.
pity.
The damp and cold weather failed to lower the temperature.
This noise couldn't disturb my peace of mind.
On the contrary, it makes one feel uneasy.
Watching Ran Mouri's tears stream down her face, seeing the hope and despair in her eyes.
Conan seemed to understand Ran Mouri's feelings: she wanted to know the truth, but she was also afraid that the truth would be as she imagined, and that it would be hard to accept.
It seems he really got carried away this time. Was it because he successfully thwarted the Phantom Thief Kid's actions, and because Lin Che made him feel completely in control of the situation?
None of this matters anymore.
The important thing is that it seems he can no longer keep it a secret.
Perhaps they can still be stubborn, or perhaps they can still think of some way to cover it up.
But he couldn't bring himself to let Ran Mouri continue to cry.
Be honest.
however,
Things always take unexpected turns.
"As soon as I got back, I saw you crying nonstop. You're still a crybaby just like when you were a kid."
Kaito Kuroba's account has been successfully hacked!
He leaned against the door frame, mimicking Shinichi Kudo and trying to draw attention to himself by speaking.
This was probably the simplest disguise he had ever used.
After leaving the castle, first get a Teitan Middle School uniform, then casually mess up your hair, and the disguise is complete.
He spent most of the rest of the time preparing for the close-up magic tricks he would use later.
"Shinichi... are you really Shinichi?!" Ran Mouri was genuinely surprised, but also very happy.
I was happy to see Shinichi Kudo again, but also happy that my guess was wrong.
I really am an idiot. How could an adult turn back into a child?
Ran Mouri quickly wiped away her tears.
Kaito Kuroba stared blankly, speechless. "Why would you ask me that? Is someone impersonating me lately?"
"I heard you were involved in a case, so I came back specifically to see you."
He originally wanted to say, "I just happened to have some free time, so I came back to visit," but then he changed his mind and quickly changed his mind.
In this situation, it's essential to highlight Ran Mouri's special place in Shinichi Kudo's heart in order to soothe his emotions and win back his favor.
Girls care about this kind of thing the most.
Conan stared intently at Kaito Kuroba.
Isn't someone impersonating me right now?
But why?
Why did Phantom Thief Kid come to help me, and when did he find out his identity?
Conan glanced at the pigeons, then quickly began to think.
In fact, he had already sensed that Shiratori Ninzaburo's identity was not right, but he just didn't expose him. Later, when searching for the Egg of Memories, Kaito Kid didn't try to steal the item again and simply gave up.
While she was thinking, Ran Mouri had already run up to Kaito Kuroba and asked him with concern, and then hurriedly went upstairs to get a dry towel.
"No need to trouble yourself. I just came back to see you. I have too much to do and can't stay long tonight."
Kaito Kuroba did not stop Ran Mouri. Watching her hurry upstairs, he suddenly felt a pang of envy and heartache.
My cousin really does have a wonderful childhood sweetheart.
Unfortunately, we're all the same.
Because of certain things beyond my control, I can only keep my distance from my beloved childhood sweetheart, yet I can't bear to leave her completely.
I can only leave everything hanging, unable to move forward or backward, overwhelmed by guilt.
Kaito Kuroba silently turned and went downstairs.
Back on the street, he reached out and looked at the sky.
The rain seems to carry emotions.
As emotions surge, the rain intensifies.
When people's hearts fall silent, the rain curtain shrinks.
It's possible that the perceived heavy or light rain is just a figment of the mind.
But a light rain will put your magic tricks to the test even more.
"Wait, Phantom Thief Kid!"
Conan quickly caught up with them.
Despite his still-alarming emotions, he must remain calm and composed when facing the "enemy" Kaito Kid.
The two stood about four or five meters apart.
Conan begins his usual babbling.
Kaito Kuroba didn't really want to hear it, mainly because he didn't want to see Conan acting like he had everything under control in front of him.
He whistled to call his pigeons back, and said helplessly:
"Are detectives just strange beings who have to tell everything to the criminals?"
"It seems that only when the prisoner is completely beyond redemption can the authorities be satisfied."
Conan paused for a moment.
Kaito Kuroba chuckled: "Then why don't you tell me why I came to help you out of this predicament?"
Ok?
Conan thought quickly and said confidently, "It's probably because I saved your pigeon, right?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
Before Conan could speak, Kaito Kuroba turned around and continued:
"Since you think all the mysteries have been solved, I'll leave you with one more question."
"However, some things in this world are better left as mysteries, because the truth can sometimes be hard to accept."
For example, I am your younger brother, and you are my older brother.
Conan was a little confused at this point, feeling that the other side was just being deliberately mysterious.
At this moment, Kaito Kuroba began to perform his magic tricks, conjuring up pigeons out of thin air, which quickly covered his entire body.
He turned to look at Conan.
"In addition, I have some advice for you."
"If you're going to hide your identity, then hide it properly, and eliminate all dangerous factors around you."
"I see you and Lin Che seem to be quite familiar with each other, but he's not as simple as you think."
Pigeons are flying.
Kaito Kuroba vanished into thin air.
"Ah sneeze——!"
Dr. A Li's house.
Lin Che suddenly sneezed loudly, then rubbed his nose.
Ai Haibara, who was holding a fashion magazine in both hands, glanced over and said, "You don't have a cold, do you? I just praised you for getting better in front of the professor."
"So, are you not only planning to freeload meals here long-term, but also to live here?"
"You didn't use the Kudo family as bait, did you?"
"Use it to lure out people who pose a threat to you."
Lin Che shook his head, "I just ate too much delicious food, can't I even rest for a bit?"
He saw a glint of joy in Ai Haibara's eyes.
He then said, "Weren't you curious about what I usually do? How about we discuss something?"
"what's up?"
"Be my intelligence agent."
Chapter 51 A new stage
intelligence agent?
Ai Haibara's eyes were full of confusion.
Lin Che crossed his legs and said, "I don't have a stable job and I'm really short of money, so I inevitably have to get involved in some... borderline areas."
"Are you short of money?" Ai Haibara glanced at the GTR outside the window.
Lin Che silently looked at Professor Agasa.
If he hadn't opened the mystery shop, he wouldn't be short of money right now.
"Cough cough."
Lin Che raised his finger.
"In short, I hope you can help me find some information that is not easy to find when I need it."
"Sometimes it may involve things like planning and coordinating information. You can think of it as being my assistant."
"Don't worry, I'll handle any dangerous situations myself, and I'll give you a percentage of the profits as compensation."
Ai Haibara frowned deeply. "You're not going to lead me into doing anything illegal or criminal, are you?"
She disliked this, because it made her feel like she was never truly separated from the organization.
Lin Che shook his head, "No, I'll do the illegal things myself."
Haibara Ai:"???"
Lin Che chuckled, "Most of the targets I'm going to take are criminals. If I want to extract profits from them, I certainly won't call the police, let alone use any legitimate means."
"But don't worry, there are absolutely no good people among the people I'm targeting."
Ai Haibara was at a loss for words.
Lin Che continued, "For example, I now hope you can help me keep an eye on the Mud Ginseng Association's movements. I don't get along with them, and they may very well find an opportunity to harm me."
After Scobin's death, the only remaining online figure related to the vase is Muddy, who is still wanted and must be taken seriously.
The Mud Ginseng Association will certainly not swallow its anger.
In order to completely disappear into the background, Lin Che was determined to destroy and ruin the upper echelons of the Mud Gathering.
As long as this group of high-ranking members of the Mud Association are still around, Lin Che's identity will always be at risk of being exposed.
The Mud Participation Association is also connected to its own organizational connections, which cannot be ignored.
Whether passively or actively involved, the Mud Ginseng Festival is an unavoidable part of the event.
