Conan's other self

"That's awesome, an informal member..."

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

“Cool guys…”

Thinking back on what had just happened, James, who had just lost his trace, 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 when he stopped, a black tool truck suddenly braked and stopped right in front of him.

He walked forward, opened the door, and sat on the passenger seat.

"Looks like you're not having much luck today."

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

"Yes. Two young men seemed to have mistakenly recognized the person and wanted to kidnap me..."

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

"No," James took off his glasses and wiped them carefully, "They fell before I even took action..."

"Oh...no wonder," the man in the knitted hat showed a surprised expression. No wonder he saw the group of children on the roadside, "Those two kids, right?"

"You also know?"

"Ah, impressive..."

The man in the knitted hat replied casually, seemingly not interested in continuing the topic. He stepped on the accelerator while picking up a cigarette and lit it.

But even though the topic ended there, the Riddler-like conversation continued.

"But, it's really surprising," James wiped his glasses and glanced at the man next to him, "that you would resolutely cut off that long hair..."

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

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

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

"Well...I will definitely make her regret it for the rest of her life..." The man in the knitted hat said coldly, "Who told her to dump me in the first place..."

…

"The man wearing the knitted hat, his name is Akai Shuichi."

When they were on the street, Fengyuan recognized the man who was driving a tool truck and glanced at them. He had no intention of hiding it from Haiyuan Ai.

However, this topic was not suitable to be discussed on the street. At that time, there were not only passers-by but also the police. So when he returned to the doctor's house, he continued this topic with Haihara Ai.

"We met him last time during the bus incident. Later, when Conan and I were taking notes, he was there, and I remembered his name. Because there were only a few people getting on the bus at Mihua Park Station at that time... so He is also the suspect of Conan and I..."

"And since you felt something again today," Fengyuan continued, looking at Haiyuan Ai, "then... it was him last time?"

Haiyuan Ai sat on the sofa, recalled for a while, and then shook his head gently.

"He gives me a very strange feeling..."

Haihara Ai said, hesitating because he was not sure, "For a moment, I felt the aura of the organization was very strong, but the next moment it seemed that I couldn't sense anything... However, this may also be because his car was driving It’s too fast…”

"But since your induction radar reacts..."

Kudo was still using this strange term... but after thinking about it, Haibara Ai decided to forget it and just let him go, then he took over what he said and continued:

"That means he is from the organization. But I have no impression of the name Akai Shuichi... This is not surprising. People in the organization generally use code names, not to mention that this is not necessarily the real name..."

"It's your real name."

"Eh?" Hui Yuan Ai was a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at Feng Yuan who was standing next to her and looking at him.

"At first I just thought the face was familiar, but I remembered it after I learned the name."

Fengyuan sat next to Haibara Ai, "I met him ten years ago. Although no one mentioned his full name at that time, his family called him Shuichi. And although he looks better than that now Shi Mature is a lot cooler, but there are many similarities.”

That was a chance encounter ten years ago.

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

Yukiko Kudo took Shinichi Kudo and Ran Maori when they were young to play on the beach at the seaside. Yusaku Kudo was working on the manuscript in the hotel because the submission time was coming soon.

Kudo Shinichi, who was running around and playing detective games, met the young version of Akai Shuichi who was enjoying the beach and sunshine under an umbrella.

The young Kudo Shinichi heard the conversation between 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 next to the beach.

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

"Speaking of which," Maplehara recalled briefly, "after that, he called me Holmes's disciple."

"Then what?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously. Akai Shuichi probably didn't notice her, and since she just listened to a story, she didn't feel scared.

"I told him he was similar to Watson."

"...Liar." Haiyuan Ai stared at Fengyuan for a while before speaking, looking a little unhappy, "How many people have you told that the other person is Watson?"

So is Akai Shuichi, and maybe Miss Moriran from the office is too, plus I...

"That was said by the former Kudo Shinichi, and it has nothing to do with the current Kudo Shinichi." Maplehara argued seriously.

"..."

Haibara Ai rolled her eyes at Feng Yuan angrily, but she still felt that what he said made sense. After all, Kudou Shinichi has become two people now, "You remember it so clearly, it's been ten years..."

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

"Then what kind of person do you think he is?" Haiyuan Ai said, and then asked himself, "Since you said he is Watson, then you must think he..."

Haiyuan Ai was halfway through speaking and did not continue.

This person who was 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 does she herself.

In the game a few days ago, Kudo also jokingly called herself Miss Watson... and she was once a member of the organization...

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

…

That's how the hijacking ended.

For different people, its meaning and impact are different, but the same thing is that time continues to flow.

During this season, girls, whether they really want to give it to the boy they like or just do it as a favor, are busy making bitter and sweet chocolate.

Although Maplehara was not sure whether winter had passed, anyway, on this day when it had been snowing heavily for several days, Valentine's Day in the cold winter was coming.
