Conan's other me

Chapter 103 The Phantom of the Past (End)
boom.

In the Mori Detective Agency, accompanied by electronic sound effects, the character controlled by Feng Yuan was knocked down to the ground.

"Haha, boy, you're still far behind!" Uncle Maoli sat in front of the TV with Fengyuan holding the handle, triumphantly.

"..."

In the past two weeks, Uncle Mori has not commissioned, and Conan has nothing to do, just playing video games in the office.Uncle Maori, who remembered the joy of abusing food last time, also joined in.

In order to play the role of Conan well, Feng Yuan had no choice but to continue.

A new game started, Fengyuan cheered up, and then heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

"Father, Conan!" Xiaolan walked in and closed the door, "I'm back!"

"Welcome back, sister Xiaolan."

"Why is it so early today?"

"Today is just tidying up the venue for the school festival. I'll be back when I'm done." Xiaolan put the ingredients she bought along the way into the refrigerator, "You two are really serious, you have to be a little restrained when playing games—"

Ding-dong-

Then the doorbell rang.

"Huh?" Xiaolan, who just entered the door, was a little surprised, and said as she walked over to open the door, "You two hurry up and finish, maybe there is an entrustment to come to the door——"

"—Shinichi!?"

Uncle Mao Li looked back in surprise, even though Xiao Lan blocked half of his body, he recognized the person at a glance. The person standing at the door was the brat who had tricked his daughter into a circle.

Xiaolan couldn't help but look back, the one who was happily playing video games with her father was undoubtedly Conan.

"Xiao Lan, it's me." Kudo Shinichi leaned against the door frame with one hand in his pocket.

"Are you really Shinichi?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Kudo Shinichi dissatisfied, "It's a pity that I came back to see you. I haven't seen you for a while, don't you recognize me?"

"No, I'm just so happy..."

"Cut!" Uncle Mao Li snorted unhappily, turned his head and continued to control his game character.

Although he was very upset with Kudo Shinichi, but looking at his daughter's current appearance, Uncle Mori decided to forget it for the time being, and then casually responded to Kudo Shinichi's greeting.

"Xinyi, I forgot," Xiaolan stepped aside, "Come in and sit down, I'm planning to make some snacks..."

"No, Xiaolan," Kudo Shinichi said, "I won't go in and disturb you. I'm actually here to find Conan, and you know he's a distant relative of my family. His parents want me to bring him something..."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was a little disappointed, "Xinyi, are you leaving again?"

"Stupid! How could that be!" Kudo Shinichi slightly lowered his voice, "I'll invite you out to dinner tonight, and I have something important to tell you then."

"what?"

"I'll call you later, don't forget!"

Kudo Shinichi said so, and then called "Conan" to leave.Fengyuan won the first victory by taking advantage of Uncle Maoli's distraction, and then returned to Dr. Ari's house with Conan who turned back into Kudo Shinichi in Uncle Maoli's displeased voice.

According to the plan, Conan deliberately appeared in front of Xiaolan in the form of Kudo Shinichi when "Maplehara" was in the detective agency, and then fished out Kaedehara, and the two went back together to undergo various tests.

Walking on the road, Conan, who turned back into Kudo Shinichi, couldn't help but glance at Fengyuan.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yuan asked.

"Looking at my face from this perspective...it feels really different," Conan said with emotion, "Sure enough, my body is better."

Feng Yuan blinked and took off his glasses.

Conan suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

Back at the doctor's house, Fengyuan and Conan cooperated with Huiyuan Ai to conduct a series of tests, and some blood was drawn.

It is worth mentioning that during the test, Conan had a slight accident and passed out, but recovered quickly after being rescued.

Conan, who changed back as he wished, didn't care.

By the time the test was over, it was already late, Fengyuan called the Mori Detective Agency directly, and said in the identity of Conan that he would play the doctor's new video game at the doctor's house all night.

Although not very happy, Xiaolan was going to go out to dinner with Xinyi tonight, so she just asked "Conan" to pay attention to rest and agreed.

On the other hand, after being relieved from the test, Conan slipped out the door, planning to ask Xiaolan out for a walk first, and then go to the Wangwang restaurant for dinner together.

……

"The Overlook Restaurant?"

Hui Yuanai looked curiously at the environment of the restaurant, and then glanced at the scenery outside the window.From here, you can see the brightly lit rice flower market outside.

"It's such a high-end place, is it alright for us two primary school students to come?" Hui Yuanai turned to look at Feng Yuan who was studying the menu.

"Don't worry, I brought the doctor's credit card," Fengyuan replied casually, "The seat was also reserved by the doctor's phone call."

"..."

"Also...although it's the doctor's credit card, I actually paid the money," Fengyuan continued, "You're welcome."

Kaedehara is a little curious about whether Conan can successfully say what he wants to say to Xiaolan, and just needs to observe Conan's situation to avoid accidents, so he came here with Haibara Ai.

A few tables away are the seats of Conan and Xiaolan.

But Xiaolan turned her back to them, and the two of them only had eyes on each other now, apparently they didn't notice that two children followed them secretly to observe them.

In fact, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they found out, so Feng Yuan sat here with Hui Yuan Ai in peace.

Hui Yuanai glanced back over there, and found that even Conan who was sitting facing them didn't notice them, "What are they talking about?"

Fengyuan's hearing is very good, and the distance is not far, so Huiyuan Ai thinks that Fengyuan can hear it.

"...it's not good to eavesdrop on what other people are saying."

"You are listening to yourself," Hui Yuanai said seriously, "It can't be regarded as eavesdropping on others."

It's so familiar, I always feel like I said it too.Feng Yuan thought to himself, and felt that what Hui Yuan Ai said made sense.In fact, Conan and Xiaolan didn't deliberately lower their voices, even if they didn't listen, he could indeed hear them.

"Is it okay? The consumption here seems to be very high..." Fengyuan repeated, "This is what Xiaolan said."

"Don't worry, I brought my dad's credit card..."

Feng Yuan ended the retelling.

Hui Yuanai showed a playful expression.The conversation between the two over there is similar to the conversation between the two of them just now.

"...So you see, it's almost these words that are not nutritious, and they are not good to listen to." Fengyuan said.

The eavesdropping operation was declared over as soon as it started.

Hui Yuanai also turned his attention back to the menu.

After finishing a few meals, Conan began to chat about Sherlock Holmes. Haibara was a little full, and quietly looked out the window in a trance.

"Want to hear a story?"

Neither of them is very good at bringing up topics proactively. After thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided to talk about something.

"Okay."

Hui Yuanai turned her head, propped her chin with one hand and looked at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan started talking:

"The protagonist of the story is a young male. He is a young and promising young mystery novelist."

"The novel he wrote was adapted into a film and television drama, and the heroine was played by a young and beautiful female high school student. The two met."

Hui Yuanai was thoughtful.

"Exactly 20 years ago today, this young mystery novelist brought the girl to the Observation Restaurant in the central building of Mihua City, intending to tell her something very important."

"He didn't go straight to the topic, but chatted with her for a while. After a while, he felt that the atmosphere was almost the same, and he was ready to say that very important sentence to the girl."

Feng Yuan paused.

"And then?" Hui Yuanai said, "I guess there must be something wrong, he couldn't say it."

"Yeah, the story is always so old-fashioned," Feng Yuan agreed, "Just when the words reached his lips, a scream rang through the restaurant."

A scream rang through the restaurant.

The other side of the restaurant became chaotic and noisy, with curious diners passing messages to each other.

In Fengyuan's sight, Conan said a few words to Xiaolan, then got up and ran towards that side.

Hui Yuanai looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise.

She thought it was the story of Kudo's parents...but...was this also what Kudo expected?

"...It's just a coincidence." Fengyuan explained that he had no intention of getting up, after all, "Kudo Shinichi" was there.

But it's not just a coincidence.He just controlled the rhythm and followed the progress of Conan's side, and it happened that Conan's side was almost ready to talk, so he just said this.

Feng Yuan continued to tell the story, and Hui Yuan Ai also continued to listen.As if nothing happened there.

"The young mystery writer heard the scream and ran out to the elevator. He found a man in the elevator who had been shot in the forehead and fell in the elevator."

"There were no guns or casings in the elevator."

"A rookie policeman who went to the police at the time thought it was an accidental robbery and murder. At that time, his stomach was not round yet."

Feng Yuan went on to say that Hui Yuan Ai subconsciously thought of the Megure Police Department.

"The young mystery novelist came to the young police officer and told him that this was not a robbery and murder. He pointed out some clues that the police hadn't found, and these clues pointed to the boss of the game company where the deceased was."

"But just when the young police officer thought the case was solved, the mystery novelist changed his subject and told him that it was actually a suicide, just to blame others."

"He designed a clever mechanism. After he was shot, the body fell back into the elevator and went down with the elevator, while the gun remained upstairs under the action of the mechanism, which became a means of framing."

"The case was thus settled. He returned to his companion, knelt down on one knee, and said to her earnestly—"

Hui Yuanai leaned slightly.

Fengyuan looked at his own face reflected in the ice blue eyes, and then said softly:

"ich liebe dich."

"I love you" in German.

"...Your parents are not German."

"It's almost the same, they didn't tell me the exact words. Anyway, he proposed." Fengyuan blinked, "The dessert is here."
