Conan's other me

Chapter 162 The Time to Say Goodbye Has Come

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

The man slipped from the sofa and lay on the cold floor, his eyes gradually lost their luster, and soon he lost his vitality.He held a pistol in his right hand, and next to him were glasses that had just dropped.

Dressed in black, the woman in a black hat picked up her glasses, stared at it, and then turned her head.

She heard the door being pushed open.

She saw a little girl in a nightgown and holding a doll bear standing by the door.

The child said to her, "Who are you?"

She put her index finger in front of her mouth, smiled gently at her, and signaled the little girl to keep it secret.

……

"Mr. Judy?"

Several consecutive shouts made Judy wake up from the memory.After casually explaining a few words to the colleagues beside her, she prepared to go to class and inform the students that she was leaving the job.

Until they were walking together on the way home from school, Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were almost inseparable from her these days, still had a hard time accepting the sudden news.

"Hey, Miss Judy..."

"Now you can tell us...the reason for resigning..."

"What is the reason at home?"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi asked one by one, and Judy said in the resignation notice that she needed to return to the United States because of family reasons.

"Oh, that's a lie!" said Judy. "Actually—it's a very, very important treasure map that I've been looking for, and finally found...maybe!"

"Treasure Map?"

"Could it be her first love?" Yuanzi whispered to Xiaolan.

"But, if that's the case, let's not talk about the map, just say we found the treasure...Ah, wait a minute, teacher!"

"Only this, we still don't understand!"

"No! No! Secret cannot be told to you!" Judy said with a smile, "A secret makes a woman woman!"

"what…"

Seeing that they couldn't pry Judy's mouth open, Xiaolan and Yuanzi had no choice but to give up.For the upcoming parting, Xiaolan was a little sad, "But it's a pity... that guy didn't get to the teacher's class..."

"That guy? You mean Shinichi?"

"Ah, yes..."

"Let him go!" Yuanzi said unhappily, "The kind of man who is buried in the case and leaves his wife here will not understand the advantages of Teacher Judy's lectures!"

"Old, wife?"

"How long will it take to solve a case..." Yuanzi said, "It's better to give up and come back quickly..."

"That's unlikely...he's not the kind of person who will give up halfway...and, he'll stick to it to the end..."

"Haha~" Yuanzi imitated Xiaolan's words with an intoxicated expression on his face, "I just like his place, come--kiss him!"

"I'm just saying he's a hard-charging, stubborn guy..."

"Oh, and speaking of stubborn people - so is that cool kid!"

"Hey? Are you talking about Conan?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. Although Conan and Xiaokong were called this when they met Teacher Judy for the first time, but the teacher only met Conan a few days ago, it should be said that it is Conan Bar…

"Yes! When I called Dr. Ari's house recently, he was always there!"

"Teacher, don't you mean Xiao Kong, that little devil?" Sonoko said, "Their voices are almost exactly the same. If you are not very familiar with them, you can't tell them apart..."

"Oh!" Judy had a dazed expression, "Does that child live at Dr. Ali's house?"

"Well," Xiaolan explained, a little unsure if she had told Teacher Judy about these things, "He and Conan are relatives of the new family, but he lives in the doctor's house..."

"Oh... no wonder! When I went to Dr. Ali's house with Dr. Xinchu last time, Doctor Xinchu asked the child specifically..."

"Hey, does the new doctor know about it?"

"Xiao Lan, have you forgotten? The new doctor was also in charge of the elementary school!"

"Oh, so..." Judy thought thoughtfully.

"However, it might be Conan who answered the call from Teacher Ni," Xiaolan said, "Xiao Sora and Xiao Ai also have a cold...Conan is going to take care of them there, and even brought them a change of clothes..."

"They have a really good relationship..."

"It's twins! Ah, I seem to have told the teacher..."

"Okay, let's not talk about these little devils!" Sonoko interrupted, "Shall we go to the teacher's place to have a party now?"

"what?"

"Ms. Judy's farewell party!"

Xiaolan and Judy readily agree.

They went to the convenience store to buy some drinks and food, and by the way, with the remote assistance of Kudo Shinichi, they solved a case that happened in the convenience store, and then came to Teacher Judy's house.

To Xiaolan and Yuanzi's surprise, Judy didn't care as much about "parting" as she seemed on the surface. Instead, she drank herself a lot of wine and fell asleep lying on the table.

In order to accompany Judy, Xiaolan, who also drank a lot of juice, couldn't help but go to the bathroom.While washing her hands, she accidentally found something leaking from the edge of the vanity mirror.

"what is this…"

Muttering in a low voice, Xiaolan curiously opened the mirror.

There are dense photos pasted on the wooden board under the mirror, two of them are of her and Sonoko, and some are of new doctors...

But more photos of Conan and Fengyuan.Pasted in the middle is a picture of Fengyuan telling her that she had to go back first during the school festival.

Xiaolan stared blankly for a while, then abruptly glanced at the room where Judy was.

The recent serial disappearance of children... The police seem to have not found any results...

……

"Unseasonable Halloween party?"

In the Maori Detective Agency, Uncle Maori watched Xiaolan open the envelope while eating, "What month is it now? Halloween should be October 31, right?"

"That's why I wrote something out of season at the beginning..."

"What was written in that?"

"Well...the letter said..."

Xiaolan opened the invitation and read:

"The incompetent detective Mori Kogoro-dono, on the night of the coming full moon, invites you to this terrifying party...

Held on this blood-stained boat...

Of course, the dying lamb will curse its fate, whether you're in attendance or not...

Will sinners be intoxicated in this dying agony..."

"Ha! It's a letter of challenge for my famous detective Mori Kogoro!" Uncle Mori said angrily, "Where did it come from?"

"Is it a foreigner? Because there are only letters written..." Xiaolan flipped through the envelope, and then read, "Vermouth."

……

"Vermouth?" In the living room, Dr. Ali answered the phone, "I'm sorry, Xiao Lan, I've never heard of this name..."

"Is that so... who is it? Send such an invitation..."

"So, will Maori go? This kind of party..." Dr. Ali said, "Is it tomorrow?"

"Hmm...you are considered a Tokyoite if you bravely accept the challenge..." Xiaolan said, "Dad is getting ready and asked Sonoko to help him make up...I'm worrying about styling..."

"makeup?"

"This invitation says that because it is a Halloween party, all participants must dress up as monsters and wear black suits or black skirts to attend... Of course, companions must also..."

"Companion? Xiaolan, are you going with me too?"

"How is it possible to go! That kind of monster party!"

"It's true..."

"Ah, there is one more thing I want to ask the doctor..."

"Ok?"

"Since it was sent to my father, that is to say..." Xiaolan said, "That guy...maybe received it too..."

"Ah...are you talking about Shinichi's place..."

Dr. Ari said, looking at Fengyuan and Conan who were sitting on the sofa together reading the letter.

Conan made a confidential gesture to the doctor, then continued to read the letter, and asked Fengyuan after the doctor hung up the phone:

"Has Haibara mentioned the name Vermouth to you?"

Hui Yuanai is still in the basement now, and since that day, she seldom comes out of the basement.

Kaedehara coughed, then nodded and shook his head.

"She's not very familiar with wine, and she hasn't mentioned this name before." Fengyuan said, "However, this is a wine that originated in Italy. She did mention the name of this wine in Japan..."

"Belmode..."

"That's right, a member of the organization." Fengyuan confirmed.

"Then, then, this invitation card?" Dr. A Li, who came over to listen after answering the phone, was shocked.

"Yes," Conan said, "it's an invitation from their accomplice Belmode..."

"Then are you going?"

"It seems that I have to go," Feng Yuan unfolded the invitation letter and letter to the doctor, "Both the envelope and the invitation card say Kudo Shinichi, but the letterhead together is..."

"Dear, dear Edogawa Conan/Your Majesty Fengyuan Sora..." Dr. Ali took Faith and said, his face was ugly, "It's hard, can it be said..."

"It has been exposed, our identities...maybe even Huiyuan's identity..."

"But, isn't it strange?" Dr. Ali asked, "If you already know...why didn't you come here?"

"Yeah, I don't understand the reason..." Conan said, took the envelope from Fengyuan, turned it to the front and looked at the signature on it, "If it's one of the reasons, I kind of understand it..."

Fengyuan couldn't help coughing twice again.

"Xiao Kong also has a cold..."

"It's okay, doctor." Fengyuan said, "And you didn't notice? Although it says so in the letter, there is only one invitation letter..."

Kaedehara took the envelope back from Conan's hand, then turned the envelope upside down and shook it with great interest, as if he wanted to shake out another invitation letter from inside, "I think the other party may not be sure who we are. It's Kudo Shinichi..."

"No way," Conan said, "After all, it's unbelievable that one person becomes two people... It's impossible for normal people to imagine..."

"So, I don't have to go, right?" Feng Yuan said, "Then come again..."

He paused.

"Please, another me."
