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

Thanks to the user for the generous tip!

——————This is a dividing line——————

Kazuma Kudo ignored Shuichi Akai.

Anyway, Akai Mary will go find Sera Masumi herself when she wakes up. He sent this message purely to let Akai Shuichi know that he saved that guy's mother.

He didn't think he could trick Shuichi Akai into working for him with just Akemi Miyano, who was less important than Gin. Although it seemed that Shuichi Akai was doing this and that for him now.

After getting a good night's sleep at the hotel, Kazuma Kudo made a special trip to Baker Street the next day to take some photos of Conan and buy some classic souvenirs.

Then he started to slack off, spending all his time in the hotel playing on his phone.

If it weren't for the need to find something edible for humans, he would rather stay home all the time.

As for why I don't go back to Japan...

Are you kidding? Going back to do a mission?

After slacking off in London for four or five days, Kazuma Kudo received a call from Gin.

"Have you rested enough? There's a tricky task at the UK branch; could you go and help out?"

"What are you saying, brother?" Kudo Kazuma pretended the signal was bad. "I'm already at New Tokyo Airport. Is the mission in England urgent? I'll go check if the tickets are easy to buy there..."

Gin wasn't angry at all; he simply said calmly, "Is that so? Now that you're back, you don't need to do it anymore."

Kudo Kazuma immediately became beautiful.

Just as he was about to hang up and continue slacking off, the other end continued, "Now that you're back, there's a rather complicated task in Japan. You can handle it; the bonus will be doubled."

Gin hung up the phone quickly after speaking and sent the mission information almost simultaneously.

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

Gin was all prepared, just waiting for him, wasn't he? He didn't even give him a chance to refuse...

He opened the mission message sent by Gin with a hint of annoyance.

"Hsu Sheng-yi, the industrialist who owns many restaurants?"

Who was this person again? He actually vaguely remembered the name…

Just as he was about to check, Kazuma Kudo received another call from Conan.

"what?"

Having just been tricked by his older brother, his tone was somewhat harsh.

Conan was immediately taken aback, but still asked in a deep voice, "Inspector Megure is injured and hospitalized. Are you still in England?"

"Okay, I'll be right back. You go check on the situation first to see how serious it is, and I'll visit you after I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Kazuma Kudo breathed a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't really recall much about the name Shan Xushengyi, but he did have a vague recollection of it when he thought about Inspector Megure's injury.

It seems to be a movie about a murderer killing people in reverse order of playing cards?

Who is the murderer? Did they also kill Asahi Katsuyoshi?

He really couldn't remember those details.

It seems I need to hurry back and meet the relevant people so I can remember the details. If no one helps me, I'll have to kill Asahi Katsuyoshi myself.

With organized support, Kudo Kazuma quickly bid farewell to Vermouth and boarded a plane back to Japan.

He had just turned on his phone after landing when he received a message from Conan—Eri Kisaki had been hospitalized with food poisoning…

Accompanied by Conan, Kazuma Kudo rushed between two hospitals, visiting Eri Kisaki and Inspector Megure respectively.

Neither of them was seriously injured and only needed to be hospitalized for observation, so Kudo Kazuma did not stay long and went to Professor Agasa's place with Conan.

Unsurprisingly, at Professor Agasa's house, I met a blonde girl of about fifteen or sixteen who was tidying up the house.

"Uh..." Conan blinked in confusion.

He really hadn't come to Professor Agasa's place for many days, but...

"Doctor, who is she?"

"Oh, she's Ai's cousin, Haruka Haibara. Since Ai is still a child, she calls Haruka 'older sister'."

After hearing Professor Agasa's explanation, Kudo Kazuma really wanted to give Ai Haibara a thumbs up.

Good grief, he just said that things happened so suddenly that he didn't give Miyano Akemi a proper identity and let the two sisters do their thing, but these two followed his example and performed exceptionally well, right?

Akemi Miyano used to be Shiho Miyano's "cousin," but now she has changed her name to Haruka Haibara and is Ai Haibara's older sister.

This is so reminiscent of something I've never seen before!

Isn't this Shinichi Kudo, who used to be Kazuma Kudo's older brother, now renamed Conan Edogawa and become Kazuma Edogawa's younger brother?

Oh, wait a minute, it seems a little different.

Akemi Miyano was a fake cousin who turned out to be a real older sister.

Shinichi Kudo, the real older brother, turns into a fake younger brother.

Hey, he won again!

"Oh, Haruka, is that right?" Kudo Kazuma smiled gently at Haibara Haruka. "I'm a little older than you, so you should call me Kazuma-nii (older brother Kazuma)."

Haruka Haibara was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Ai Haibara, emerging from the underground laboratory, glared at Kazuma Kudo speechlessly: "Don't you dare bully my sister!"

Kudo Kazuma pouted: "Isn't that a bit stingy?"

He said, lifting Conan forward: "Come here, my brother, you can bully him as you please."

Conan: "?"

He activated the foot massager in a bad mood, and immediately wanted to kick his little brother.

Professor Agasa, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Shinichi, didn't you say Eri was in trouble too? How is she?"

Getting down to business, Conan stood up and frowned: "It's alright, he's had his stomach pumped. He'll stay in the hospital for observation for a day or two, and he can be discharged if everything is fine."

He then took out two photos: "This is the paper sword left at the scene of Inspector Megure's crime, and the flower on the chocolate wrapper that the murderer gave to Aunt Eri..."

Kazuma Kudo, Ai Haibara, and Haruka Haibara all crowded around, trying to figure out what the two items meant.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass rang out. Dr. Agasa saw the four people studying the photos and went to check on the situation himself.

Kudo Kazuma and Conan simultaneously felt a chill and turned to look in the direction of the broken glass, only to find a cold light shining outside.

Conan quickly exclaimed, "Doctor! Don't open the door!"

Professor Agasa, who had already opened the door, was taken aback: "Huh?"

A man dressed as a knight and wearing a helmet saw the door open and immediately shot a crossbow bolt at it.

The crossbow bolt flew straight at Professor Agasa.

Seeing that the elderly Professor Agasa couldn't dodge in time, Kazuma Kudo simply threw the photo in his hand away.

The photo and the crossbow bolt collided. The crossbow bolt was deflected by the photo and grazed past Professor Agasa's clothes, only tearing them.

Upon seeing Kudo Kazuma's skill, the culprit quickly put away his crossbow and rode away on his bicycle, while Conan gave chase on his solar-powered skateboard.

Haibara Haruka stared at the crossbow bolts and photos on the ground and couldn't help but exclaim, "Edogawa-kun, you're amazing! You managed to deflect a crossbow bolt with a photo."

Kazuma Kudo tilted his head: "It's nothing, I just learned a trick from Kaito Kid, who loves playing cards."

"Playing cards?" Ai Haibara picked up the picture of a sword from the ground, then held up the picture of a flower in her hand. "Have these two things appeared on playing cards before?"

A moment later, Conan returned carrying a strangely shaped object, looking as if he had just realized something, and said, "I know what this is!"

The other three almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Playing cards!"

"Huh?" Conan was taken aback. "You guys noticed too?"

He then raised his hand to his chin: "So, it seems the criminals committed the crime according to the order of the playing cards?"

Kazuma Kudo chimed in, "Inspector Megure's name, Megure Juzo, is K, and Aunt Eri's surname is Ki, which is Q."

Ai Haibara continued, "And Professor Agasa's taxi, when broken down, is exactly eleven, which is J."

"So... who is this criminal?" Kudo Kazuma tilted his head. "And, if we keep counting in order, who else will be killed?"

He remembered that the real killer was one of the "victims".

So, who exactly is sending him several fresh souls?
