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

The mahjong parlor was bustling with activity.

Kudo Kazuma sat at the mahjong table playing on his phone, completely undisturbed by the sounds of others playing mahjong.

"Hey kid!" Kogoro Mouri said helplessly, "Who comes to a mahjong parlor to play on their phone? Didn't you say you wanted to learn mahjong?"

Kazuma Kudo coughed a few times and pointed at Conan, who was happily playing on his lap: "Isn't someone learning that?"

Anyway, he wasn't really going to learn how to play mahjong—after learning that the mahjong parlor Kogoro Mouri frequented was right across from Hida Financial Center, he encouraged Conan to come and play with him.

Conan, a gaming novice, was thrilled to find a game that only required his brain and didn't require any controls. He played it like a real child, having a blast and even taking over Kogoro Mouri's role.

Kogoro Mouri can win money without lifting a finger, which is incredibly appealing.

"I think Conan has already learned it, why don't you give it a try!" Kogoro Mouri patted Kazuma Kudo on the shoulder. "As the old saying goes, brothers fight tigers together."

Kudo Kazuma coughed a few more times: "Forget it, I'm not feeling well. You two can just go and fight as father and son."

If his older brother put in any effort, he'd kill that fat guy tonight and give him some soul fragments; otherwise, he'd be leaving—he hasn't received any soul fragments these past two days, and his body simply can't keep up with Conan all the time.

Before he could even leave, Kogoro Mouri's opponent, unable to withstand the defeat, left.

The table was suddenly filled with three players, but one was missing.

However, Kogoro Mouri could tell that Kazuma Kudo was not feeling well, so he didn't call him again and instead asked the two people at the table how they were doing.

"Oh, just call Feitian over, that guy loves playing mahjong, and he lives nearby..."

One of the people at the table was talking when he dialed President Hida's number.

Conan then turned to Kudo Kazuma and asked, "Are you alright? You don't necessarily have to play mahjong, why don't you go home first?"

Kudo Kazuma shook his head: "It's okay, we can go back together in a bit."

Just kidding, we've already invited Death, if we don't kill Feitian, wouldn't Death's trip be in vain?

"Hida's got something to do. He said he'll be there in half an hour. Let's think of something first..."

After hanging up the phone, the person looked at Kudo Kazuma, who had nothing to do...

Conan quickly raised his hand: "Me! Me! Me! I played with you guys before he came over..."

Before he could finish speaking, his raised hand was grabbed.

"Conan!" Ran grabbed Conan with one hand and put the other on her hip, saying irritably, "Oh! I was wondering why you guys weren't home, but you've all been playing around here!"

The other person at the table clearly knew Xiaolan and said with a smile, "Xiaolan, it's perfect that you're here. Do you want to hold your place for a while? We can play together for thirty minutes."

Xiaolan pouted: "I don't want to play these unhealthy adult games!"

five minutes later……

"Wow! I won!"

Fifteen minutes later.

"It's actually quite fun!"

Half an hour later, Xiao Lan had slaughtered so many that the world had changed color and the sun and moon had lost their light.

They don't have much skill; they rely almost entirely on luck.

However, President Hida did not arrive as promised.

"Yay~ We won again~"

It was almost nine o'clock, and President Feida, who had promised to arrive in half an hour, still hadn't shown up.

As Kudo Kazuma leaned against the window and carefully sensed, he could faintly perceive the presence of a spirit across the street.

The friend of President Feida called him again, but this time no one answered.

Having handled too many murder cases, Kogoro Mouri subconsciously frowned: "I think we should go and check on him. It's been so long, even if he couldn't come because of something, he should have at least given us a call."

"If Detective Mori said that, could something have happened? But the lights across the street are still on..."

"Go and have a look."

After discussing it for a while, the group went to Feitian Financial Company across the street. They happened to run into an employee who was going back to the company to get his phone. After a brief explanation, the employee quickly took out his key and opened the door.

Sure enough, all the lights in the company were on.

The employee went in and looked for his phone, while the others looked around but couldn't find President Feida.

Seeing this, an employee reminded him, "Shouldn't the president be in his office?"

The group then went to the president's office, but unfortunately no one answered the door despite knocking for a long time.

Do you have a spare key?

"The president keeps the company's vault in his office, so there is no spare key at all."

President Feida's spirit was very close to the door. After absorbing the spirit, Kudo Kazuma said, "It's already this late... cough cough, in this emergency, we should just break down the door."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri told everyone to make way, took two steps back, and with a burst of strength, smashed open the door in front of him.

Then, as expected, they saw President Hida lying dead in his office...

Having received the spirit and completed the mission, even though the backlash wasn't as strong, Kudo Kazuma was too lazy to stay here any longer.

He excused himself by saying he was feeling unwell and left early.

Before going home, he sent Gin a message.

[Hida Mitsuhiro, president of Hida Financial Group, confirmed dead. Mission complete. Only two more sniper missions left!]

When he got home, he found that Gin had replied to a message.

Open it up...

Another mission?

Kudo Kazuma was stunned.

What are you doing?

Didn't he just splash seawater on Gin once at the beach?

They're relentlessly seeking revenge!

That's not right. If Gin is retaliating against him, would he only give him one mission?

He carefully read the mission description. The mission target was Nagato Mitsuaki, the son-in-law of the youngest daughter of the Nagato family. The Nagato family was considered a powerful family on par with the Suzuki family...

No wonder there's only one mission, and it's another one that can't be completed without sending out Death, right?

Kudo Kazuma cursed Gin under his breath, then clasped his hands together in prayer, facing the direction of the Mouri Detective Agency from across the street.

May the Grim Reaper bless him so that he can smoothly complete the Nagato family's mission when he encounters relevant cases these days. — Kōmon

Then the next day, Kazuma Kudo received a message from Conan.

He thought it was a case related to the Nagato family that had come to his door, but who knew that Conan would send him a photo instead?

Puzzled, I opened the photo and found a torn and then glued-back document, even missing some words... a pre-announcement letter?

April Fool

When the moon separates two people

I will hear about the names of the stars in the dark night

Go and collect it as the waves invite you.

Phantom Thief...】

The following words are missing.

However, even without looking, Kazuma Kudo knew what it was.

A notice from Kaito Kid!

He calls an elementary school student "brother" every day, and now his younger brother is finally about to make his appearance!

He made a phone call to the miniature version of his older brother.

"What's going on? You cracked the code?"

Conan: "...I wanted to ask if you have any ideas..."

Kazuma Kudo said decisively, "I have no ideas. It's up to you. Good luck!"

He really had no idea about the code.

But he has feelings for Kidd!

We're all brothers, shouldn't we have a touching reunion, and then have him call me "brother" on the spot?

Thinking of this, Kudo Kazuma's tone became much more sincere: "By the Grim Reaper, my dear brother, cracking the code this time really depends on you. I will support you in spirit. Remember to let me know when you crack it~ Good luck!"

Conan was furious: "What kind of Grim Reaper is this?! Get lost, you brat!"

Kazuma Kudo promptly hung up the phone: "Bye-bye!"

Sigh... Death is angry again~
