Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"What? You said you are that Kudo Shinichi?!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Conan stopped Cheng Shi, looked around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one around.

"Why are you so loud? Are you afraid others can't hear you?"

"Sorry, sorry, I was just so surprised! I'll be more careful next time!"

Cheng Shi scratched his head in embarrassment. It couldn't be helped. He had heard of Kudo Shinichi's name. Anyone who heard that the child in front of them was Kudo Shinichi would probably do the same thing!

"So, the organization you mentioned..."

"Stop! Leave that organization to the police and the FBI! We civilians should just mind our own business."

Seeing this, Conan quickly stretched out his hand and made a big cross on his chest. He wasn't even prepared to face the organization himself, let alone let Chengshi face it.

Although the winery's nickname is the Water Factory, the more so, the more vigilant he becomes.

In such a situation of serious internal dilution, it can still become a huge transnational criminal organization. Either the Black Organization really has something inside, or those countries are not interested in the organization itself.

No matter which situation it is, it is very dangerous for Conan, the only case of successful rejuvenation so far.

Therefore, he wasn't going to do anything like the original novel's frantic display of affection in front of the Red Face. At most, he'd reveal his identity to a few people. As for the rest of the time? Being an "armchair detective" wasn't a bad option, was it?

"Huh? No need to face that organization? Then why did you win me over?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. He thought Conan was trying to win him over in order to deal with that organization!

"It's just to be on the safe side, of course!"

Conan spoke confidently.

"Although I'm not planning to confront that organization head-on, what if something unexpected happens? It's still necessary to have a plan in place!

Besides, you're a doctor! A nurse is very important to a team! What if there's an emergency in the future?"

"Huh? Then what do I usually do?!"

"Usually? You ask me what I do normally? Of course I do whatever I want to do! Whether you want to open a clinic or do something else, it's up to you. As long as you are available whenever I need you, that's all."

Conan didn't have many requirements for the people he recruited. To put it bluntly, he wasn't planning on setting up a formal organization.

All he wanted was a simple small group where everyone could help and support each other.

"Is that so?"

Cheng Shi nodded gently. Unexpectedly, the detective was surprisingly gentle! But then again, if Conan wasn't such a gentle person, someone like him wouldn't have been saved by him.

"Although I've already said it, I'll say it again! Please take good care of me from now on, Captain."

"team leader?"

Conan was stunned when he heard this, but soon a smile appeared on his face:

"That's a good name."

Then, the two of them walked towards the clinic while chatting.

Maybe it was because Dr. Chengshi's identity was hidden too well, or maybe it was because Uncle Maori and the others had not been exposed yet. In short, Conan and his friends spent a peaceful night in the clinic.

Early the next morning.

"dong dong dong"

"Who's out there?"

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the clinic. Cheng Shi, who had locked the door in advance, stood behind it and asked cautiously.

"I'm from Tokyo, just call me Matsumoto! Are you Dr. Chengshi? Megure mentioned your name when he called me before."

A deep voice sounded outside the door.

Cheng Shi frowned. He had never heard this voice before, but if he was asked to open the door, what if...

When Cheng Shi was struggling, Matsumoto probably guessed his concerns and added:

"According to what Megure told me, Conan and Ran should be with you! Didn't Maori entrust them to you?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi felt a little relieved. Even if Maori and Megure were discovered, it shouldn't be enough to reveal Conan and the others' information in just one night.

Thinking of this, he carefully opened the door a crack and looked towards the door.

At the door, Matsumoto saw the door open before he could say anything. He saw the door in front of him snap shut again. He even heard the sound of the person inside locking the door.

"Administrator, how about letting me try to communicate with them?"

A police officer stood up next to Matsumoto, looked at Matsumoto's expression, and asked cautiously.

"Conan! Ran! Get up!"

Inside the house, Cheng Shi woke Conan and Xiaolan up in a panic.

"What happened?"

Seeing Chengshi's somewhat flustered expression, Conan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your incident has been exposed, ugh, it's Mr. Maori and Mr. Megure who might have met with an accident!

There's a guy at the door claiming to be Mr. Megure's guest, and he knows you're here! But he doesn't look like a good person! Run away!"

"Megure called him? He doesn't look like a good person?"

Conan was stunned, then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times as if he thought of something.

No way! Being mistaken for a bad guy at his own daughter's wedding is one thing, but is it really true that a police officer is mistaken for a bad guy while on duty? This is too outrageous!

"Isn't the person you're talking about the one with a square face, a flat head, and a long scar over his left eye?"

Just in case, Conan confirmed it with Chengshi.

"You know him?"

Cheng Shi said in surprise.

Conan was silent:

"Don't worry, he's Inspector Megure's boss. I've met him at the Metropolitan Police Department."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi showed his classic small eyes.

"I'm sorry, Officer! I really..."

After bringing Matsumoto and his group into the clinic, Cheng Shi spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

Matsumoto waved his hand:

"It's okay, I'm used to it! Normally I would take out my police ID, but the situation on this island..."

Halfway through speaking, Matsumoto shook his head helplessly:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore! Do you know where Megure and the others are?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Tsk, this is going to be difficult! Although I have enough people with me, I can't take everyone on the island away! I don't know how Megure and the others are doing with their evidence collection!"

Matsumoto frowned and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Chengshi and Conan looked at each other.

"Regarding the evidence, Mr. Officer, I have a list here. I don't know if it's outdated, but it's absolutely flawless! The people on this list are all participants in the drug trafficking group."

Cheng Shi stepped forward, took out the suicide note left by his father, and handed it to Matsumoto.
