Conan's other me

Chapter 18 The Familiar Stranger ([-])

"However, Xiaoxin, you are too silent, please give me some reaction~" Yukiko Kudo sat on the sofa in the suite, leaned next to Fengyuan, stretched out her hand and pinched Fengyuan's face, "Quick, call mom to listen."

Fengyuan chose to remain silent in order to refuse.

If the original Kudo Shinichi was not there, and it was the senior time traveler he had read, then he would probably be able to call it out naturally.

But he felt a little awkward.

Dr. Ali tried to rescue him.

"Haha, this Shinichi is subconscious." Dr. A Li rubbed his head, "It's normal to be a little alienated from you."

But the rescue failed.

Hearing this, Kudo Yukiko's eyes brightened all of a sudden, "Yes, the subconscious...doesn't that mean," she turned sideways and put her hands on Fengyuan's shoulders, "this Xiaoxin hasn't called my mother yet!"

"No wonder you are so shy! Really, Xiaoxin! Don't be so alienated from your mother! Just shout, okay? Xiao~xin~yi~?"

There is no escape.

Fengyuan hinted a little in his heart that he was Kudo Shinichi, and the previous emotion came back a little bit.This allowed him to finally yell awkwardly.

that's enough.

Kudo Yukiko's eyes were full of joy, as if it was the first time she heard someone calling herself that.

Feng Principle was slightly relieved, but fortunately Yusaku Kudo is not such a character.

Because of Kudo Yukiko's harmony, the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

Fengyuan's "subconscious" setting saved him a lot of trouble.Yukiko Kudo didn't care at all about Fengyuan's completely different personality from the Shinichi in memory, and even found it very interesting. She seemed to completely believe in Fengyuan's identity as "Kudo Shinichi's subconscious".

And Yusaku Kudo obviously didn't believe it so easily.

It is very difficult to make people believe that one person has become not only smaller but also two, especially for Yusaku Kudo, who tends to be rational.

But at least at this moment, he will not spoil his wife's interest.

Family members who haven't seen each other for a long time always have endless conversations, let alone such a "weird" situation.

From the things that happened after becoming small, all the way to talking about the interesting things in Xin's childhood, until Yukiko Kudo, who was the most excited, couldn't help yawning, and everyone decided to go to bed.

Although Dr. Ali, who had just woken up, was not sleepy at all, he still went to open another room.Fengyuan insisted on rejecting Yukiko's proposal to sleep with her, and ran away with Dr. Ali.

Yukiko's intimacy made him a little overwhelmed.

Watching Fengyuan and Dr. Ari go to the elevator, Kudo Yukiko closed the door.

"Husband~" Yukiko called out sweetly, but Kudo Yusaku was keenly aware of the danger signal, and as he expected, Yukiko put on an unhappy expression in an instant, "You just mentioned Shinichi when he was a child, did you do it on purpose?"

"cough--"

"Really!" Kudo Yukiko dissatisfied, "It's been said that he must be Xiaoxin, I knew him the first time I saw him."

"If the appraisal results—"

"Then the identification was wrong."

"...What about Conan's child?"

Before that, the couple had already learned about the specific situation of the two children from Dr. Ali. Since Conan's character was basically the same as the original Kudo Shinichi, they were more inclined to believe that Conan was Shinichi before.

"Of course it's also Shinichi," Kudo Yukiko said as he walked towards the bedroom, "Dr. A Li said, one is subconscious, the other is superconscious, and Shinichi became two people after taking the medicine."

"In short!" After a pause, Yukiko Kudo continued, "You are not allowed to test Xiaoxin any more! Subconscious mind... He hasn't experienced his own life for so many years, right? If it wasn't because of the split from the drug, he must have just silently watched another self live the life he expected..."

"Obviously it's so distressing, but I still have to be suspected by a certain father... Really..."

Kudo Yukiko cast a sideways glance at Kudo Yusaku, and Kudo Yusaku chose to be soft.

As a mystery novelist, he believes in "rational" and "scientific" things more. Compared with the emotional Kudo Yukiko, he still believes in evidence.

In the previous probing, the child answered the questions that only a few of them should know, without any hesitation... But even so, the difference in personality and the difference in wording habits made him doubtful.

Of course, if it happens that one person becomes two people, these differences can also be explained.

So the key is DNA identification.

Just wait a few more hours for an expedited report.Therefore, there is no need to draw conclusions now.

Coaxing Yukiko, who has been in a state of "brain supplementation", Yusaku Kudo fell asleep with thoughts.

Then a few hours later, I was woken up by a gentle knock on the door.

Looking at the sleeping Masaka Yukiko, Kudo Yusaku got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and saw Dr. Ari was waiting outside with a laptop.

Walking in and closing the door, Dr. Ali couldn't wait to turn on the screen of the laptop. The screen lit up, and what Yusaku Kudo saw was an email.

The expedited appraisal report is also attached.

Yusaku Kudo didn't know what kind of "expectation" he had when he clicked on the email. In fact, he had vaguely guessed the result from Dr. Ari's expression and reaction.

This is obviously a big shock to his worldview-but for a sufficiently rational person, no matter how unbelievable, as long as there is enough evidence, he can believe it.

At the table, he clicked on the identification report.

Dr. Ali watched quietly from the side.

Kudo Shinichi really became two people.

Yusaku Kudo was silent for a while, digesting this "fact".Then look up.He also needs a "puzzle piece".

"Dr. Ali, can you tell me the specific process of getting the new hair?"

This is an important part of rigorous reasoning.But Dr. Ali felt that this seemed like the last struggle.

He recounted his feelings while telling what happened yesterday.He didn't know exactly what mood he was in... It was a little complicated, and he felt that the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

But anyway, since Sora is really Shinichi, then... it should still be possible to live with him?

On the other side, after listening to Dr. Ali's narration, Yusaku Kudo let out a long breath.

"Thank you very much, doctor, for helping us so much." Yusaku Kudo said.For the sake of safety, the samples sent for identification did not indicate their names, but in such a hurry to find a trustworthy place that can expedite the identification, it really depends on Dr. A Li's contacts.

"It's okay, I'm also very curious." Dr. A Li rubbed his head, "There is such a wonderful drug in the world, which can not only make people smaller, but also turn one person into two people..."

"Shinichi's situation may also be a special case." Yusaku Kudo pointed out.Dr. A Li also told him about the conversations of those men in black giving Xinyi medicine.It is not difficult to infer from the conversation that those people thought that the drug was lethal.

"Yeah..." Dr. Ali agreed, maybe because Shinichi had a schizophrenia long ago?In other words, he has never noticed... "Then... Yusaku, have you thought about what to do next?
