Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

"The... Detective Conan?"

After a moment of silence in the car, someone suddenly asked impatiently, "Does this have anything to do with the Sherlock Holmes series?"

Kudo Kazuma blinked. How could you say it's not related? It's very related, okay?

"Is this a work by Mr. Conan Doyle?"

Kudo Kazuma continued blinking. Does Conan's "work" count?

Conan was speechless: "Hey, hey—what nonsense are you spouting?"

Don't think he doesn't know; his little brother is clearly teasing him by mentioning "Detective Conan"!

hateful!

Kudo Kazuma had no intention of publicly criticizing him. He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, those were all jokes. If I had to pick my favorite, it would definitely be 'A Study in Scarlet,' which is where Holmes and Watson first met!"

"Speaking of Holmes's most remarkable achievement, it was when he first met Watson, with just a simple handshake, that he knew he had served in Afghanistan as a military doctor..."

Seeing the gleam in his eyes, the other Sherlock Holmes fans in the car instantly believed he was joking—who but a Sherlock Holmes fan would believe that?

After completing the classic recreation, Kazuma Kudo gave Conan a mischievous smile, earning a glare from the unlucky guy.

He's not a Sherlock Holmes fan, but he has one by his side! If his unlucky friend and Xiaolan have talked about Sherlock Holmes eight hundred times, he must have talked about it with him at least ten or eight times. Isn't it easy to imitate his state of mind back then?

Sherlock Holmes fans just want to kick that brat brother—that jerk brother, all he does is make fun of him!

Ran couldn't help but chuckle. It was really true that Ichijin imitated Shinichi so well, which reminded her of how Shinichi would always try to persuade her to study Sherlock Holmes.

Of course… she smiled and patted Conan’s head.

Conan looks even cuter now, with his bright, sparkling eyes looking at her as she tells her about Sherlock Holmes!

Kogoro Mouri keenly noticed his daughter's smile and knew that she must be thinking about that wretched brat again, so he couldn't help but snort.

"This must be Detective Mouri, right?" Kogoro Mouri's voice drew the attention of others, and someone asked curiously, "Mr. Mouri, which work do you like?"

Kogoro Mouri had never been interested in this, but not wanting to lose face in front of that brat, he forced himself to say, "Ah, me? My favorite... is probably the Western Car Murder Case..."

Everyone: "?"

What's going on with you guys?

"Is Mr. Mori joking too?"

"You mean 'Murder on the Orient Express'? That's not a work by Arthur Conan Doyle!"

"Please, why are there outsiders who have infiltrated the group?"

Does he really understand detective novels?

Listening to everyone's questions, Kogoro Mouri was filled with regret—he should have just randomly picked one of their movies...

He glared at Conan with a hint of annoyance: "You brat, it's all your fault for secretly signing up for that tour group... By the way, do I really have to stay with these people for three days?"

"It's not just them," the hotel employee in charge of picking them up said with a smile. "The boss has also arranged another car, and another group of people will be coming with us."

Conan was very happy to meet a large group of Sherlock Holmes fans; this was a good thing!

He cheered like a real child: "Great! The more people, the more fun!"

"Fun my foot!" Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head.

This brat!

He finally got a chance to vent his anger...

As soon as the two cars arrived at the hotel, the organizer of the event, dressed in a Sherlock Holmes suit, gave everyone a warm welcome speech.

"Distinguished guests, I am the owner of this restaurant and the event planner, Hiroyuki Kanaya. Welcome! Everyone here today has been carefully selected by me; they are true Sherlock Holmes fans..."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Before Hiroyuki Kanaya could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Today we met someone on the bus who doesn't even know what cases Sherlock Holmes has encountered!"

After he finished speaking, the people who had come with him all looked at Kogoro Mouri.

Upon seeing this, Hiroyuki Kanaya quickly stepped forward: "Let me introduce you all. This is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. You could say he's on par with our Sherlock Holmes..."

Conan was speechless.

Uncle Mori and Sherlock Holmes?

Ha ha……

The other passengers were also indignant: "What? How can he be compared to Sherlock Holmes!"

"That's right. I've seen his reasoning on TV and read a lot of newspaper reports. His reasoning is indeed quite good, but if we're really comparing, he can't even compare to Watson, who's by Holmes's side!"

As Kogoro Mouri listened to these people belittling him more and more, he clenched his fists angrily, wishing he could punch something to vent his anger.

Since it concerns Sherlock Holmes, Conan completely forgot that he was the one who helped Kogoro Mouri solve these cases, so when Kogoro Mouri was ridiculed, it was actually Conan who was being ridiculed.

He even had the composure to comfort Kogoro Mouri: "Come on, Uncle, he's Sherlock Holmes after all. There's nothing we can do about it..."

Kogoro Mouri immediately followed up with a second punch, landing a blow on Conan's head.

"You brat! It's all your fault for insisting on joining this tour group! How awful! How could I lose to a character from a book!"

Seeing the large bump on Conan's head, Ran quickly went over to ask with concern, "Conan, are you alright?"

"Conan?" A group of people's eyes lit up, and they all crowded around Conan, pushing Ran aside.

"Little friend, is your name Conan? That's a great name."

Conan Edogawa was both smug and happy, completely forgetting the big bump on his head: "Yeah, I love my name too!"

"He's so lively today..." Ran, standing next to Kazuma Kudo, looked at Conan, who was surrounded by people, and said with a hint of emotion, "When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, this guy is just a complete child..."

"Huh? Miss Mori, you mean, isn't he usually a child?"

A voice from Osaka came from behind them. Ran and Kazuma looked in the direction of the voice and saw Osaka Kuroko, who had insisted on staying at the office to wait for Shinichi Kudo last time.

"Oh, it's Hattori-kun..." Ran quickly tried to smooth things over, "I mean, Conan is usually quite calm, like a little adult. What brings you here, Hattori-kun? Are you a Sherlock Holmes fan too?"

"Of course not!" Heiji Hattori denied decisively. "I came here because I thought I might run into Shinichi Kudo! As for Conan Doyle... I still prefer Ella Liquin to him..."

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but glare at him, thinking, "You clearly like Kudo Shinichi more, don't you?"

And... is it possible that everyone opposite you is your rival?

Seeing the kind and benevolent looks that everyone, including Conan, gave Hattori Heiji, Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but shrug.

Heiji Hattori shrank back, chuckling dryly, "Haha, of course, Conan Doyle is still better, aha... ahahaha..."

The crowd's gaze shifted from kindness to gentleness once more, except for Conan's half-moon eyes, which were filled with annoyance—this Osaka dark-skinned guy, is he a persistent ghost?
