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

Upon entering the hall, they discovered that the Nagato residence actually had quite a few guards.

Conan tugged at his bratty younger brother's sleeve and whispered to him, "With so many guards here, could there really be some big case going on?"

"Not sure." Kudo Kazuma casually picked Conan up and held him in his arms, whispering, "If they only invited the older man, it might be something about catching someone cheating, but they specifically called me out. I'm suspicious..."

Conan blinked his big eyes: "You suspect there really is a big case?"

Kazuma Kudo's gaze fell on a powerful-looking, squinty-eyed, mustachioed middle-aged man downstairs...

This person's face shape and appearance look familiar.

He suspected that there was a mastermind behind it all...

……

"Huh? You mean, you want me, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, to help you find your first love?"

Despite being unwell, the kind-faced former chairman of the Nagato Foundation, Nagato Dozo, smiled and said, "Yes, I've heard that you can solve cases in a very short time. My old friend has also been full of praise for you..."

"Um, if it's just finding someone, I don't need to get involved, do I?" Kogoro Mouri pulled over Kazuma Kudo, who was standing to the side with his hands in his pockets, seemingly unconcerned. "This kid can do it!"

Kazuma Kudo: "Huh? Me?"

Conan leaned closer, looking at Kogoro Mouri with a half-smile: "Oh, Uncle, aren't you disappointed? It's not a big case, what a pity!"

With a "bang!", Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head, and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Kazuma Kudo.

That brat has actually learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic from Ichijin!

Ran quickly pulled Conan to her side, both amused and exasperated, as she gently rubbed the large bump on his head.

That punch wasn't really her father's fault; Shinichi couldn't control his mouth, so he deserved to be hit...

After beating up Conan, Kogoro Mouri felt refreshed, and even his attitude during the investigation and questioning became much more proper.

The secretary, Hinata Yuki, who was by the bedside, recounted some information about the woman. In short, all the information was from a long time ago, and Nagato Dozo knew nothing about the woman's current situation.

The more they listened, the more speechless they became. Finally, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask, "So, who introduced me to you?"

It's one thing to ask someone to be found, but the information is from ten or twenty years ago. Is that "old friend" really not here to cause him trouble?

"it's me."

The man with the squinty eyes and mustache pushed open the door.

"Who are you?"

Nagato Dozo: "He is the old friend I just mentioned, Mr. Hattori Heizo, who was the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters at the time."

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened: "You're the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police!"

Ran exclaimed in surprise: "You're the one who appears on TV every time a major case happens in Osaka?"

Conan suddenly realized, "No wonder I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before."

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "Hello, you must be Heiji Hattori's father?"

"Hehe~" A certain Osaka black chicken popped out from behind Hattori Heizo, "How have you been lately, Kudo?"

In an instant, the room fell silent...

Kudo Kazuma's eyes were practically rolling to the sky—he's here, the Osaka pun king, the one who keeps his mouth shut!

Conan's eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to kick Hattori Heiji right then and there.

Ran glanced cautiously at Kogoro Mouri, then instinctively used her body to shield Conan's small frame.

And Kogoro Mouri...

After glancing at Conan, Ran, and Kazuma Kudo who were all silent, he looked at Heiji Hattori with a puzzled expression: "What Kudo?"

Heiji Hattori sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly gave an embarrassed laugh: "Ahaha, I meant..."

"What could it be?" Kudo Kazuma shrugged, interrupting Hattori Heiji's pun before it even began. "Uncle, have you forgotten that guy went to the agency to see Kudo Shinichi last time? He's probably still hung up on that guy and mistook me for him when he saw me..."

Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, right, that's right. I thought it was Shinichi Kudo who came along, but it turns out it's... uh, Edogawa!"

"Oh! I see!" Kogoro Mouri glanced at his daughter, who was breathing a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized, "I thought that brat from the Kudo family was here too!"

Conan shrugged.

[Sorry, I'm right here, haha.]

As they were talking, the two daughters of the Nagato family entered.

Kudo Kazuma didn't get involved in the gossip about these wealthy families. Instead, he took a step back and focused his attention on Mouri Kogoro.

Uncle Mori's reaction makes it hard not to be suspicious...

Think back to his previous attitude towards Conan.

Could this seemingly confused uncle have already realized something?

Suddenly, a loud slap echoed throughout the room.

Kudo Kazuma looked up and saw the imposing eldest daughter of the Nagato family speak irritably: "Who asked you a question!"

She not only hit Hinata Yuki, but also verbally attacked him constantly.

"Can't you throw away that dirty pen? I don't care if it's your father's keepsake or not, it looks disgusting!"

As she spoke, she looked at her younger sister, Nagato Yasue: "And you, Yasue, be careful, or someone might steal your most precious light from you~"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged.

No problem, if someone is taken away by death, how can it not be considered being robbed?

After the two daughters of the Nagato family left, Hyuga Yukiya also temporarily left, using the excuse of going to the company to handle some business.

A short while later, a man with his face wrapped in bandages, who was said to be Nagato Hideomi, the eldest son of the Nagato family, came over.

Now Kudo Kazuma was certain: the person he had seen by the pool earlier was Nagato Hideomi's spirit, and the one in front of him was an imposter—the bandaged monster was making a limited-time return.

A short while later, Kudo Kazuma's target for this mission, Nagato Mitsuaki, also arrived.

Watching these people come and go like a theatrical performance, Kudo Kazuma had no interest in it whatsoever. He just wanted to know who could help him kill Nagato Mitsuaki.

We can't just let his own clone do it, can we?

That night, they stayed at Nagato's house for dinner.

After dinner, Hattori Heizo left Hattori Heiji there and departed. Everyone else, except for Nagato Hideomi, gathered in Nagato Dosan's room to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.

Kudo Kazuma was happily eating his cake when Conan pulled Hattori Heiji over to him.

"Hattori, tell the truth! You're the one who lured us here and then deliberately left us here, aren't you? What's your reason?"

Hattori Heiji laughed heartily: "What are you thinking? What reason could there be?"

"Exactly, what reason could there be?" Kudo Kazuma quickly swallowed his cake and spoke up first. "He must still be thinking about you, and since he's come all this way, he wanted to see you, so he found a way to call you over!"

Conan glared at his bratty younger brother speechlessly: "Damn it!"

Hattori Heiji looked annoyed: "...Those are my lyrics!"

This was originally something he had planned to use to tease the Kudo brothers, so how did it end up being said by another Kudo, Shui Lingling?

And it feels really weird to hear someone else say that...

Conan's death stare fell on Hattori Heiji again: "Are you really going to talk nonsense like Kazuma?"

"Ahahaha...that's not quite it." Hattori Heiji quickly waved his hand. "Actually..."

Just as he was about to speak, the phone in the room suddenly rang.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the phone.

Kudo Kazuma's eyes lit up. Was it coming?
