Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

……

Inside the cafe.

"Mr. Qi Ming, let's get down to business now."

Ran Mouri took a sip of coffee, and her relaxed expression turned serious.

"sure."

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, Qi Ming nodded, and could finally deactivate the bugging device on Ran Mouri.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced out the window and noticed Conan, who had been keeping his distance, and Ai Haibara, who had taken 0.5 hours to arrive.

Ran Mouri carefully chose her words, then asked softly.

"I'd like to ask Mr. Qi Ming, is your sister, Ai, like Conan, someone who turned from an adult into a child?"

"what?"

Qi Ming stared wide-eyed.

There's a problem; something seems off about this intelligence ranking.

Ran Mouri figured it out so quickly?

Why would Miss Mori think that way?

Ran Mouri clenched her fists and said with a somewhat downcast tone.

"Because of Ai's photo yesterday."

"Mr. Qi Ming, I think I've mentioned this before. My dad, Conan, Shinichi, and I went to a casino for a commission and encountered a madwoman who was killing people."

"And Ai's photo ten years later looks exactly like the crazy woman in the casino that day."

Ran Mouri stared intently at Qi Ming.

"Mr. Qi Ming, can you tell me? After all, Shinichi can shrink, so maybe others can too. Could Ai Haibara be able to shrink as well?"

"Ah? You were back then... Oh, I remember now."

Qi Ming hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly froze.

The game was a long time ago; I almost forgot about it.

Ran Mouri was also there when I was role-playing.

He even fired a shot at Ran Mouri.

Wait a minute.

It was Akemi Miyano who did it; it had nothing to do with him.

Qi Ming stroked his chin.

Although Ran Mouri did find the truth, the process seemed a bit strange.

They actually mistook Shiho Miyano for Akemi Miyano...

Although they are sisters, they don't seem to look very alike.

Qi Ming recalled two photos of Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he swapped their hairstyles.

Qi Ming's expression changed instantly.

Like, really like.

Aside from Miyano Akemi's eyes being a bit bigger, the similarity is 99%!

It is estimated that the difference in their eye parameters is only about 10 points.

Then Qi Ming glanced at Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri's eyes are even bigger than Akemi Miyano's. If she changed her hairstyle and squinted her eyes...

The original artist was really lazy.

"Um, Mr. Qi Ming?"

Seeing Qi Ming first stare blankly, and then turn his gaze to her, she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

Qi Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head.

No, she isn't.

It seems I've made enough jokes about Ai Haibara already.

Be polite, let's have someone else this time.

"Hey, isn't that right?"

Hearing Qi Ming's answer, Ran Mouri frowned.

But how do you explain that those two people look exactly alike?

However, her question was soon answered.

Qi Ming spoke calmly:

"Now that you know my identity as a mage, I can tell you some of the truth."

"the truth?"

Qi Ming nodded and said with a serious expression:

"Actually, Ai is that... crazy woman's sister."

"younger sister?"

Ran Mouri nodded in realization.

In that case, it makes sense that the two look so alike.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Ming asked Ran Mouri:

"Miss Mori, you should know that I am a magician, right?"

"Ah."

Qi Ming coughed twice, raised his head, and said seriously:

"We magicians sometimes cooperate with government officials."

"After hearing what you said, I investigated that crazy woman carefully. She was actually an international fugitive. I fought with her and eventually killed her."

Qi Ming paused for a moment, then sighed.

"Later I found the crazy woman's house and then I found Ai."

"You know, that crazy woman is so cruel to outsiders, and even more cruel to her own people, no, to her family. Xiao Ai back then... sigh."

After listening to Qi Ming's story, Ran Mouri covered her mouth and remained silent for a long time.

So there's so much inside information about that crazy woman and Ai Haibara?

Ran Mouri is still too naive.

She had somewhat forgotten the story Qi Ming had written in previous versions.

However, even if she knew how many lies Qi Ming had told in the past, she could probably make up the explanations herself.

This is a necessary secular identity for a magician, and also necessary for helping Ai Haibara heal her psychological wounds!

After a short while, Ran Mouri looked up at Qi Ming and said:

"Um, Mr. Qi Ming, I wonder if you mind if I hang out with Ai Haibara in the future?"

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Miss Mori?"

Ran Mouri playfully stuck out her tongue, tilted her head, and gave a sweet smile, saying:

"Hehe, I think it would be better for Ai to have a woman help take care of her!"

"..."

Qi Ming stared wide-eyed at Ran Mouri's radiant smile.

My goodness, what a wonderful girl!

Ugh, I'm so damn awful, no, I mean, I'm so stupid.

That crazy woman back then deserved to die!

A moment later, Qi Ming stood up and reached out to wrap his hands around Ran Mouri's hands, his eyes shining with sincerity.

"Miss Mori, if you ever need any help in the future, just let me know!"

Ignoring Qi Ming's actions, Ran Mouri smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Mr. Qi Ming is such a good person.

“Mr. Qi Ming, we’ve known each other for so long, you can just call me Xiao Lan.”

“Okay, Alan, no problem, Alan.”

……

Outside the cafe.

"Nani?!"

Conan stared in astonishment at the scene before him, speechless with shock.

Can someone translate what these two are doing?

Why did Xiaolan not resist when Qi Ming held her hand so firmly, and even showed such a gentle smile?

Damn bugging device, why did it have to break at such an inopportune time!

Xiaolan, why don't you give him a punch...?

No, we can't punch him, he'll die, Xiaolan will die.

Just as Conan was scratching his head at the scene before him, his body suddenly stiffened.

He suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little.

Something's not right. This seems to be... murderous intent!

Conan quickly turned his head and immediately saw the cold smile on Ai Haibara's face.

Conan swallowed hard and took two steps back unintentionally.

"Physical contact...this means, infidelity."

Hearing Ai Haibara's cold words, Conan stammered in response.

"Sherry, no, Miss Haibara, what are you saying?"

"Didn't you just say that Qi Ming isn't that kind of person?"

Ai Haibara stared intently at their clasped hands and said coldly:

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Their physical contact has seriously crossed the line!"
