Conan's other me

Chapter 140 Encounter in Ripples

"It's amazing, unofficial member..."

"No, perhaps I should call you Holmes and Watson?"

“Cool guys…”

Thinking back on what happened just now, James, who had just disappeared, adjusted his glasses and walked in the streets.

He walked through several alleys, crossed a road, and stood on the side of the road.Just as he stopped, a black tool cart slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of him.

He walked up, opened the door, and sat in the co-pilot.

"It seems that you are not lucky today."

Sitting in the driver's seat was a man wearing a knitted hat.

"Hmm. There are two young men who seem to have mistaken the person and want to kidnap me..."

"Oh? It's a pity that I missed the scene where you showed your skills..."

"No," James took off his glasses and wiped them carefully, "They fell down before I even made a shot..."

"Oh... no wonder," the man in the knitted hat showed a dazed expression, no wonder he saw the group of children on the side of the road, "those two children, right?"

"You also know?"

"Ah, impressive..."

The man in the knitted hat replied casually, as if he was not interested in continuing this topic.He stepped on the gas pedal and picked up a cigarette, and lit it.

But even though the topic has come to an end, the Riddler-like conversation continues.

"However, it's surprising," James glanced at the man beside him as he wiped his glasses, "you would cut off that long hair resolutely..."

The man in the knitted hat is the long-haired man that James mentioned to Dr. Ali before, and he wants to meet.

"Let's start again... because my lover dumped me..."

"Then, why did you come here to find me?" Putting his glasses back on, James pressed the frame, "Is it possible for you and your lover to reunite?"

"Well... I will definitely make her regret it for the rest of my life..." The man in the knitted hat said in a cold tone, "Who told her to dump me..."

……

"The man in the knitted hat is called Akai Shuichi."

On the street, Fengyuan recognized the man who was driving a tool cart and glanced at them, and he didn't intend to hide it from Huiyuan Ai.

But this topic is not suitable for chatting on the street. At that time, there are not only passers-by, but also the police.So when he returned to the doctor's house, he and Hui Yuanai continued this topic.

"We met him in the bus incident last time. Later, when I went to record with Conan, he was there, and I remembered his name. Because there were only a few people who got on the bus at the Mihua Park station... so He is also the object of my and Conan's suspicions..."

"And since you're feeling it again today," Fengyuan continued, looking at Huiyuan Ai, "then last time...was him too?"

Hui Yuanai sat on the sofa, recalled it for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"He makes me feel weird..."

Hui Yuanai said, hesitant because he was not sure, "For a moment, I felt a very strong breath from the organization, but in the next moment, I felt like I couldn't sense anything... However, this may also be because his car was driving. too fast..."

"But since your sensor radar is responding..."

Kudo is still using this strange statement...but after thinking about it, Haibara Ai decided to forget it, so he just let him, then took his words and continued:
"That means he is a member of the organization. But I have no impression of the name Akai Shuichi... This is not surprising, people in the organization are generally referred to by code names, not to mention that this may not be the real name..."

"It's a real name."

"Eh?" Hui Yuan Ai was a little surprised, and raised her head to look at Feng Yuan standing beside her, looking at her.

"At first I just thought that face was a little familiar, and I remembered it after I knew the name."

Feng Yuan sat next to Hui Yuan Ai, "I met him ten years ago. Although no one mentioned his full name at that time, his family called him Xiu Yi. Although he looks younger than that now It's a lot more mature and ruthless, but there are many similarities."

It was a chance encounter ten years ago.

That day, the Kudo family went on a trip and brought Mao Lilan with them.

Kudo Yukiko took Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran to play on the beach by the sea when they were young, and Kudo Yusaku was rushing to the hotel because the time for submission of the manuscript was coming soon.

Running around and playing detective games, Shinichi Kudo ran into a young version of Shuichi Akai who was enjoying the beach and sunshine under a parasol.

The young Kudo Shinichi heard the conversation of the Akai family, and then made some wrong reasoning about Akai Shuichi's identity, which made Akai Shuichi laugh. After that, a car crash occurred on the cliff by the beach.

Kudo Shinichi and Akai Shuichi, who were still real elementary school students at that time, worked together to solve the incident.

"Speaking of which," Fengbara said briefly while recalling, "after that he still called me Holmes' disciple."

"And then?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously.Akai Shuichi probably didn't notice her, and after hearing a story just now, she didn't feel scared.

"I told him that he was just like Watson."

"...Liar." Huiyuan Ai stared at Fengyuan for a while before making a sound, looking a little unhappy, "How many people have you told that the other party is Watson?"

So is Akai Shuichi, and Ms. Mori Ran from the office might be too, plus myself...

"That's what the former Kudo Shinichi said, and it has nothing to do with the current Kudo Shinichi." Fengyuan retorted solemnly.

"..."

Huiyuan Ai gave Fengyuan an angry look, but still felt that what he said made sense, after all, Kudo Shinichi has now become two people, "You remember it really clearly, it has been ten years..."

"Yeah, I told you, my memory is very clear."

"Then what kind of person do you think he is?" Hui Yuanai said, and then asked himself, "Since you said he was Watson, then you must think that he..."

Haibara Ai spoke halfway, but didn't continue.

This person recognized by Kudo and thought to be Watson has become a member of the organization, and the aura about him seems to be very strong...

So did she herself.

In the game a few days ago, Kudo also jokingly referred to herself as Miss Watson...and she used to be a member of the organization...

"Ten years ago, he had a pretty good impression," Fengyuan replied, "As for now...I don't know."

……

Thus ended the hijacking.

It has different meanings and effects for different people, but the same thing is that time continues to flow.

During this season, girls are busy making bittersweet chocolates, whether they are sincerely giving to the boy they like or just doing favors.

Although Fengyuan is not sure whether winter has passed, anyway, on this day of heavy snowfall for several days in a row, Valentine's Day in the cold winter is coming.
