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

At 2:40, Kazuma Kudo arrived outside the Crystal Restaurant.

Conan and his friends had obviously just arrived, and they were admiring the uniquely designed crystal restaurant.

"Wow, is this crystal?"

"It's really a magnificent structure."

"It has a unique design and a great sense of style!"

Kudo Kazuma also chimed in: "Wow, this shape is outrageous. If Moriya Teiji saw it, he'd probably blow it up on the spot!"

Everyone: "Huh?"

Conan was speechless. He dragged his brat away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"To be honest," Kudo Kazuma shrugged, "Tell me, wouldn't Moriya Teiji, with his obsessive-compulsive disorder about symmetry, feel uncomfortable seeing crystals?"

Conan was speechless for a moment.

There's really no way to refute that.

“This isn’t the time to talk about this,” he asked gravely. “You mean that the Ace of Spades might represent me?”

"literal meaning."

After all, in the original story, the Ace of Spades refers to Shinichi Kudo.

Conan frowned slightly: "But it's Conan Edogawa..."

Kazuma Kudo coughed and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that your real name is Shinichi Kudo?"

"Tell me, if you hadn't shrunk, would you have come to help with a case like this, especially one involving Xiaolan's father?"

"meeting."

Conan answered without hesitation.

However, he immediately countered, "But Shinichi Kudo hasn't appeared for a long time, while Kazuma Edogawa is often seen with Uncle Mori."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Let me put it this way, when was this Murakami Joe you suspect arrested?"

"Ten years ago."

When were they released?

"A week ago."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I've been in London almost the entire week. That guy doesn't even know when I'm going back to Japan, so he probably doesn't see me as a target, right? As for you, when did you decide you wanted to be an older man's son-in-law?"

Conan, engrossed in the mystery of the case, replied without hesitation: "Four years old..."

The moment the words left his mouth, his expression suddenly changed, and his whole body went numb: "...Ahhhhhh!?"

No, how could he just say it so naturally?

And to my dismay, that brat of a brother overheard this! I'm doomed!

Ran, who had been keeping a close eye on them, saw Conan suddenly break down from afar and rushed over to ask, "What happened? Conan, are you alright?"

Kudo Kazuma was about to die laughing.

There's nothing wrong with Conan, except that his face turned an excessively red after Ran came over to ask him something.

Ran looked at Kazuma Kudo with a puzzled expression.

Kudo Kazuma quickly cleared his throat to stop laughing.

"We were just discussing who the Ace of Spades represents. You think it's me, but I think it's my brother. After all, I haven't been in the country for the past few days. Would Murakami Takeshi really target me?"

Conan also managed to suppress his embarrassment at this moment.

Anyway, he's liked Ran since he was little, and it's not like nobody knows that...

With his mind back on the case, Conan rested his chin on his hand and said, "Actually, there are other suspicious points in this case."

"Just like Murakami Jo wouldn't know when Kazuma would return to Japan, Uncle Mori and Asahi Katsuyoshi only had one contact, a cat-hunting request. How would Murakami Jo know?"

"Also, Aunt Eri was poisoned because she ate chocolate that she thought Uncle Mori gave her. That chocolate was exactly the same as the one Uncle Mori gave Aunt Eri fifteen years ago."

"How did Murakami know about what happened fifteen years ago? Unless..."

Kazuma Kudo tilted his head and said along with Conan, "The culprit is not Joe Murakami."

Before the two could even discuss who the murderer might be if it wasn't Murakami Takeshi, the engine roared to life, and a red sports car sped towards them like the wind.

Kazuma Kudo quickly grabbed Conan with one hand and pulled Ran back a few steps with the other.

The sports car continued its momentum, heading straight for Kogoro Mouri and his companions who were standing near a parking space.

The group scattered as if fleeing for their lives.

With the sound of wheels screeching against the ground, the red sports car drifted directly into the parking space.

A woman in a red trench coat got out of the car, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's a little further out, but it's still alright."

Kogoro Mouri said irritably, "Hey! Miss, do you know how dangerous that is?"

Kazuma Kudo shoved Conan into Ran's arms and quickly walked over.

"If you want to die, you can find an elegant way to die; you don't have to kill yourself in a car accident!"

If this woman continues to act so recklessly, he wouldn't mind using his [Sword Control Technique] to help her out!

The woman in red frowned: "Who are you? Why are you speaking so rudely?"

Kudo Kazuma didn't bother with words, but he was already thinking about how to cause this guy a car accident.

Then three more cars arrived one after another, stopped in a very normal manner, and one person got out of each car.

After introducing themselves, everyone learned that the woman in red was model Nana Koyama, and the other three were Minoru Nishina, Peter Ford, and Eiaki Shishido.

These four people were invited by Xu Shengyi's secretary by phone to come at 3 pm.

The Crystal Water Restaurant is actually underwater. As the group took the cable car to the Crystal Water Restaurant, Kazuma Kudo poked Conan, who was deep in thought, with his finger.

"Looking at it this way, everyone is here except for Aunt Eri, Professor Agasa, and Hiroki Tsuji."

Conan nodded solemnly: "The culprit is clearly not Murakami Jo, so who could it be?"

Since the spirit hasn't been received yet, Kudo Kazuma certainly wouldn't reveal that the murderer was Sawamu Kohei. Instead, he casually said, "It can't be Asahi Katsuyoshi, can it? It's not an opening ceremony, so inviting so many people at the same time is obviously not right."

Conan nodded without saying anything.

Before long, the group arrived at the real underwater restaurant made of crystal.

Seeing the stunning seascape and the lively, beautiful fish around them, everyone couldn't help but admire Asahi Katsuyoshi's ingenious idea.

Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but sigh, "I have a friend who really loves fish, what a pity..."

Unfortunately, this place will soon be blown up.

Otherwise, if we asked Kaito Kuroba to come over, I wonder how "happy" he would be~

Xiao Lan asked curiously, "What's a pity?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "It's a pity I didn't add his Bond as a friend, otherwise I could have taken some photos and sent them to him."

"It's already past three o'clock, why hasn't Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi arrived yet?" Shiratori Ninzaburo frowned slightly. "Could something have happened to him?"

"What do you mean?"

Megure cleared his throat: "I haven't had a chance to tell you about this yet."

He and Shiratori recounted to the unsuspecting people present how Murakami Jo killed people in the order of playing cards.

Conan also mentioned that Nana Koyama corresponds to the number seven, Eimei Shishido corresponds to the number six, Peter Ford corresponds to the number four, and Minoru Nishina corresponds to the number two.

"Judging from everyone's names, apart from Ran and Conan, everyone could be that guy's target."

Conan then spoke up a second time: "But the culprit might not necessarily be Murakami Jo!"

All eyes immediately turned to him: "Why do you say that?"
