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

After a while, Vodka finally calmed down.

Kudo Kazuma immediately stepped forward and gently "comforted" him.

"Little Fufu~ The fact that he was able to go on stage and sing with Miss Gaoshan proves that he has improved since then~"

"Huh?" Vodka looked up at Kudo Kazuma pitifully, with a look of utter disbelief. "Improved...improved? Singing like that, which was so awful, is considered improvement?"

"Hey, if you don't believe me, listen to his old songs~" Kudo Kazuma said, then clicked to play the recording and covered his ears at the same time.

This music should only exist in heaven; how often can it be heard on earth?

Before he could finish listening, Vodka froze on the spot as if his soul had been struck.

Fortunately, he didn't finish listening—the song was halfway through when Conan called.

Seeing Vodka's blank expression, Kudo Kazuma raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

Little Fufu, Death himself has come to save your life.

"What's wrong? It's almost ten o'clock, why are you calling all of a sudden?"

On the other end of the phone, Conan's somewhat hesitant voice came through: "By now, you shouldn't be angry anymore, right?"

Kazuma Kudo rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

Conan, however, reacted as if he'd just seen that eye roll: "Alright, they're just kids after all. Even I, the person involved, am not angry..."

Kudo Kazuma was speechless: "You didn't need to be angry in the first place. After all, if you were burned to death, I would be the one to handle the funeral arrangements."

Conan: "...Hey, who's going to get burned?"

He coughed and said, "Actually, I called you because I have something important to say."

"Sonoko specifically told Ran that she wants you to come with her to the Suzuki Group's 60th anniversary celebration. If you have time, why don't you come aboard with us tomorrow?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "No problem."

This is a good opportunity to witness firsthand how a bucket can overturn...

"Wait, tomorrow? Isn't it April 19th?"

“Yes, tomorrow is April 19th!” Conan said confidently on the other end of the phone. “It’s settled then, remember to come to the agency before 2:30 pm tomorrow. Sonoko will come and take us to the ship.”

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Kazuma reached out and poked Vodka, who was still in a daze, and asked, "What's the date today?"

Vodka snapped out of his daze: "June 14th... Wait! Danpo, that recording of yours, how can that person's voice sound exactly like Minami's? How can such a deadly singing voice come from Minami's voice? Waaaaah..."

Seeing that Vodka had been brought to tears by the awful music, Kudo Kazuma shrugged.

Whether it's the deadly singing of the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student or this chaotic timeline, these are things that one cannot help but experience in this world.

This is the science of science...

At 2:20 p.m. the next day, the secondhand car that Kudo Kazuma had driven before was parked downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Hehe~ Thanks for your hard work, big brother~" Kudo Kazuma in the passenger seat waved to Gin in the driver's seat, "I was originally going to ask Fubuki to help with the ride, but look at him..."

In the back seat, Vodka still occasionally looked dazed, as if he were questioning the meaning of life.

Gin glared at Kazuma Kudo with annoyance: "Don't play weird songs for him again next time!"

He finally managed to understand from Vodka's incoherent complaints that Kudo Kazuma had played him a song by an unknown singer, which had upset him so much.

"Don't worry, don't worry~ It won't happen again." Kudo Kazuma said, taking out his phone and waving it. "By the way, big brother, do you want to listen to this?"

Without saying a word, Gin pressed Beretta against Kudo Kazuma's cheek.

"Farewell!"

Kudo Kazuma quickly raised his hands, then got out of the car and went upstairs in one smooth motion.

He only knocked on the door of the agency after watching Gin drive away.

At 3:40 PM, Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa, and Kazuma Edogawa arrived at the Sallybeth ship, which was being used for the 60th anniversary celebration.

After settling the four people in the garden, the gardener went to greet other young guests of the same generation.

Kogoro Mouri, dressed in a beige suit, looked around for a while, then suddenly spotted someone he recognized and went up to talk to Ran.

Kazuma Kudo leaned close to Conan and whispered, "Speaking of which, why were there only the four of you yesterday? Where's Ai Haibara?"

If Ai Haibara were alive, she wouldn't have allowed those three brats to get away with secretly possessing tracking glasses.

Conan shrugged: "That guy didn't bother playing hide-and-seek with us kids, so he went home after school."

Kazuma Kudo looked at Conan with a subtle gaze: "You guys? Kids? What kind of kid are you? You've shrunk in size, and your brain has shrunk too?"

Conan coughed heavily: "She said it herself! But I called Dr. Agasa and he said that the guy is making some progress in researching the antidote, so he's been very busy these past few days and is even trying to skip his school classes."

Kazuma Kudo nodded.

With some of Sherry's previous research data available, as well as the APTX-4869 drug he provided for reference, and with the breakthrough direction of Bai Gan, Ai's speed in producing the antidote this time was much faster than before.

I'll ask about it when I have time.

Before long, prominent figures from all walks of life gathered at the venue, and Sonoko returned to the group.

Sonoko's father, the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation, was giving a speech on the stage to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the foundation. Sonoko was looking around from below the stage while whispering to Ran and the others.

"Now that the ship has already set sail, do you think Kaito Kid has boarded it yet?"

"Sonoko, do you really want to see the true face of that master thief?"

"Yeah, I always thought he'd be a handsome middle-aged man. Sigh, I just don't know who he looks like..."

Sonoko was lost in her daydreams when a chilling voice drifted over from the side: "Of course, he'd look like Shinichi Kudo..."

Sonoko's expression froze for a moment, then she glared at Kudo Kazuma with her half-moon eyes, her tone full of disdain: "Who wants to look like that guy? Don't ruin my idol's image in my heart!"

Conan, standing to the side, also looked disgusted.

[That guy in Sonoko... and that brat Kazuma! Why does that thief look like me?]

Just as Sonoko and Conan reached an unspoken understanding of mutual dislike, a haughty and elegant middle-aged woman stood next to Shiro Suzuki. She was none other than Sonoko's mother, Tomoko Suzuki.

“Before that, I want to tell you about an idea I’ve come up with,” Tomoko Suzuki said, holding up a small, exquisite box. “Every guest received one of these boxes upon boarding the ship…”

Kudo Kazuma and his friends also had this small box, and inside the box was a high-quality replica of the Dark Night Star.

Tomoko Suzuki's method was simple—everyone would wear the Dark Star, and then Kaito Kid wouldn't know who had the real Dark Star.

Kudo Kazuma readily accepted the suggestion and wore the exquisite replica on his chest.

The method is good, but it's not as safe as putting the Dark Star inside the fish's belly.

Hmm... it would be safer to have Conan hold the fish.

Most importantly, the Suzuki family quickly brought in Makoto Kyogoku as their son-in-law, which was a complete blow to Touko, right?
