Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"Hmm? Xiaolan? You guys... Oh, that's right, Brother Maori contacted me, so it's normal for you to be here!"

Just as Xiaolan was about to take a few people to Yoko's house, a familiar voice sounded from behind them.

When Xiaolan heard this voice, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look:

"Inspector Megure? Why are you here?! Could it be that Dad and the others have already caught the people who are harassing Miss Yoko?

But, you guys shouldn't be here, and... you're bringing so many people with you."

Looking at the familiar Inspector Megure and the large group of police officers behind him, Xiaolan exclaimed.

"Mitsuhiko, it's the police! Are they coming to arrest us?"

"Shouldn't it be? No way, we didn't do anything wrong!"

"But, we were secretly hiding in the trunk of Miss Yoko's car...could this be the reason?"

Seeing the sturdy figure of Inspector Megure, the little ones huddled in fear and hid behind Xiaolan. They plotted loudly without learning any lesson.

Conan glanced at the three little ones speechlessly, saying nothing. However, he hadn't expected that Inspector Megure and the others would arrive so quickly. It had only been about ten minutes since Uncle Mori and the others entered! Really efficient!

Inspector Megure looked helplessly at the three shivering children behind him, then looked at Xiaolan:

"Xiaolan, aren't you here with Maoli? Maoli reported that a body appeared here, and I happened to be taking them to handle another case nearby, so I rushed here directly."

"Eh? A body?! Is this at Miss Yoko's house?"

Hearing Megure's words, the three little ones exclaimed. Stimulated by the three little ones' sharp voices, Conan frowned and covered his ears.

Megure couldn't help but frown as he looked at the three little ones. After all, this case involved a popular idol, and the reason he only brought these people here was to minimize the impact of this incident.

If the paparazzi knew what happened here, Miss Yoko would definitely be in trouble even if she was innocent.

Thinking of this, he looked at the three little ones with a somewhat unfriendly look. If Yoko was related to this case, it would be fine. If Yoko was innocent... If these three children attracted the paparazzi, the commotion would be enough to make him suffer!

Although his career is basically over since he is not in the professional group, he is not ready to leave!

Seeing the somewhat unfriendly look in Inspector Megure's eyes, Conan's heart trembled. He absolutely couldn't let Inspector Megure's favorability go to negative! There would be many more places where he would have to deal with Inspector Megure in the future!

Thinking of this, Conan quickly looked at the three little ones and put his finger to his mouth:

"Shh, this is Miss Yoko's private residence! You don't want Miss Yoko to have to leave because of you!"

In fact, he knew very well that Yoko couldn't continue to live here after someone died in the family, but this didn't stop him from using this excuse to fool the three little ones!

Sure enough, just as he thought, after hearing Conan's words, the three little ones hurriedly reached out to cover their mouths, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

Hearing Conan's words, Megure looked at him in surprise, with a hint of approval in his eyes. Compared to the three noisy little guys, Conan was obviously much more mature, which reminded him of the former Kudo Shinichi.

If he is trained well, he might become the next 'Kudo-kun' in the future!

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure's eyes became more kind. He smiled and approached Conan, asking in a gentle tone:

"Kid, what's your name?"

Conan looked at Inspector Megure suspiciously, not understanding why he was asked his name. However, he didn't think much about it:

"My name is Conan, Edogawa Conan! I am..."

How should I put it? I've watched too many anime, and when I introduced myself, I almost blurted out the words "I'm a detective"!

Fortunately, he remembered in time that he was not the original Conan, and the person in front of him was not the criminal suspect who was forced into a desperate situation by him, so he held back the words.

Megure didn't notice this, but sighed regretfully. His last name was Edogawa, his given name was Conan, and he clearly came from a family of mystery novel enthusiasts! His plan to invite him was probably a lost cause.

Of course, he didn't really care about these things. Although he really wanted to lure Conan into becoming a police officer, under Kudo's guidance, the people in the Metropolitan Police Department were no longer the useless ones they used to be! Now they were also able to solve some simple cases on their own!

Of course, for the sake of his brother's dream of spreading all over the world, Inspector Megure habitually asked:

"So, Conan, what are your parents' names?"

He was calculating in his head. He'd never heard of a detective named Edogawa, but since he was such a detective novel enthusiast, maybe we'd have a chance to meet in the future! And, what if Conan's parents were the next Yusaku? Wouldn't that be even better?

Although they have a certain ability to solve cases, if there is a chance to gain merit without using any brainpower, then they will definitely be happy! Who doesn't like merit for free?

Conan raised his eyebrows:

"My father is Kudo Yusaku, and my mother is Kudo Yukiko! But how can I possibly tell this to Inspector Megure!"

"I'm staying at Uncle Maori's house now!"

Conan thought about it and said innocently, "I definitely can't tell you who my parents are. After all, my parents haven't come back yet, so I can't even give them fake names!"

What if I use their pseudonyms from the original novel, but they choose to use other pseudonyms? Then I will be the one who suffers!

So, Conan simply changed the subject:

"By the way, Officer Megure, didn't Uncle Mori and the others ask you to come over? It's not good for us to chat outside!"

Megure was stunned when he heard this, not because of Conan's urging, but because of what he said, his current address!

"So you're living at Maori's house! Great, Maori's house is great! Let me tell you, he was once an excellent police officer in our Metropolitan Police Department! You must learn from him!"

It's true that when you think there's no way out, there's always a new way out! I thought there was no hope of tricking Conan into joining the Metropolitan Police Department, but who would have thought that he would actually be living in Mori's house?

"I absolutely have to have Brother Mori train this little guy well and make him a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, preferably a Kudo brother in our First Investigation Division!"
