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

Since going to Osaka is tomorrow anyway, Kudo Kazuma decided to stay in the safe house for another day.

Without the harassment from his older brother and elder brother, he continued the conversation he hadn't finished on Bond.

[You mean, are you asking if I can transfer data from other chat rooms to Bond?]

Yes, chat rooms are really not as convenient as creating a chat group using Bond, but there's someone in the chat room who just doesn't want to switch to Bond. He says his account has sentimental value...

Kazuma Kudo replied helplessly.

[Two completely unrelated companies producing two chat products, and you actually want to share data? Only someone with your money could think of that.]

It turns out that some time ago, Sonoko met a few friends in a chat room for magic enthusiasts.

After Bond was released, Sonoko immediately suggested that everyone switch to the Bond chat group, as it was much more convenient. Unfortunately, one person in the chat room resolutely refused to change their account, which is why she thought to contact Kudo Kazuma to see if he could solve the problem…

To this, Kazuma Kudo can only say: Money is everything, but it's not everything, and neither are company programmers.

Unless the company immediately invests money to buy the chat room's design company, they will not consider the possibility of enabling data interoperability between the two parties from a technical perspective.

but……

The combination of a garden, magic, and a chat room gave him a rough idea of ​​the plot—it seemed that everyone in the chat room had arranged a villa party in a snowstorm-themed style, during which more than one person died.

What makes this story so memorable is that there are quite a few things about it that are worth remembering.

For example, Conan, who couldn't join the group because of a cold and fever, risked his life to save Ran; or Sonoko's online crush is actually a short, fat man in real life, and this short, fat man is actually another of her crushes, Kaito Kid, in disguise...

Kazuma Kudo suddenly wondered what Sonoko's reaction would be if she knew that her Prince Charming also had a face like Shinichi Kudo.

Thinking about how unceremonious Sonoko usually was with him, he felt that if he exposed her, she would be heartbroken...

Thinking of this, Kudo Kazuma simply asked.

[Speaking of which, you're going to great lengths to bring everyone into the Bond chat group, is it because you've fallen for one of them?]

Yeah, there's a guy in there I really click with~ Ah, never mind, why am I telling you all this? Since I can't switch to Bond, I'll just go back to the chat room, bye~

Kudo Kazuma pursed his lips, just about to put down his phone, take a shower, and go to sleep, when Vermouth's avatar in Bond's friend list started flashing.

Kudo Kazuma blinked involuntarily as he casually opened the message sent by Vermouth.

【Little Ichima~ Big sister went back to Japan~ She just went to Izu Beach a couple of days ago~】

The message was followed by two selfies of her at the beach. In one photo, Ran, wearing a swimsuit, was talking to Kogoro Mouri, who was lying on a beach chair. In the other photo, Ran was crouching next to Conan, listening to him gently and attentively.

So, is this an implication that she has discovered Conan's identity?

Or is it simply an implication that she went to spy on Xiaolan?

Kudo Kazuma was too lazy to rack his brains to guess, so he simply sent her a photo as well.

Use magic to defeat magic.

Vermouth looked at the photos that Kazuma Kudo had sent her and felt terrible.

It was a white beach, and a woman in a purple dress was lying on the ground, surrounded by several police officers and a group of tourists. It looked like a scene of an autopsy.

What sent chills down her spine was that in the photo, Conan was crouching at the feet of the deceased, observing something; Ran and Kogoro Mouri were talking to the police; and not far from them was…

Gin?

No, what exactly does Danpo mean by posting this photo?

Was it a reminder to her to be more restrained so that Xiaolan wouldn't get into danger?

Or should I tell her that Gin also guessed that Conan might be the Cool Guy?

What is this kid thinking?

Vermouth suddenly realized that if she couldn't have an open and honest talk with Dampo, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well in the future...

Kazuma Kudo was sleeping soundly.

After sleeping through the night, Meimei ate something simple and then boarded the train to Osaka.

……

"That's Tennoji Zoo over there, Osaka Stadium over there, and this is the famous Tsutenkaku Tower."

Hattori Heiji introduced the place to the people around him: "What do you think? Isn't it pretty good here in Osaka?"

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "The view is excellent."

Kogoro Mouri, however, disagreed: "I don't see any difference between this place and Tokyo Tower!"

"Don't compare this place to that boring red iron tower. This place is full of the warmth and hospitality of Osaka!"

Kogoro Mouri's focus wasn't on that at all: "Really? Then shouldn't we go get lunch?"

Hattori Heiji chuckled, glanced at his watch, and said, "Let's wait a bit longer. Someone will come to pick us up soon."

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri simply went to smoke.

Conan tugged at Heiji Hattori's sleeve and asked, "Hey, why did you specifically call me all the way to Osaka?"

Hattori Heiji looked down and asked, "Please, how could you have such a thought?"

Conan looked incredulous: "Something must be wrong, right? Confess already!"

"What are you thinking? I invited you here so you could experience the local customs and culture of Osaka. We humans, after all, have no idea when we'll die..."

Conan was startled and was about to ask something when he heard someone call his name.

"Huh? Conan? Ms. Mori? You're here in Osaka too?"

Conan and Heiji Hattori turned their heads at the same time and saw Kurosawa Kakuzu with a camera hanging around his neck.

Hattori asked in a low voice, "Hey, Kudo, who is he?"

Conan paused for a moment, then said, "A friend, his name is Kurosawa."

After saying that, he revealed an innocent, childlike smile: "Brother Xiaoyin, what a coincidence! Isn't Brother Heize here?"

Kurosawa shrugged: "He went to work. I'm not as busy as him."

Conan sensed it carefully and indeed realized that Kudo Kazuma was nearby, so... is the person in front of him Kazuma after all?

So, who is Kurosawa Jin, who looks so much like Gin?

Just as he was lost in thought, Kudo Kazuma's slightly hoarse, speechless voice came from not far away: "I'm really fed up with you guys, cough cough, you only told me it was in Tsutenkaku, but you didn't tell me there were so many people in Tsutenkaku..."

"I... cough cough, I searched for most of the place. If I hadn't run into Uncle Mori, are you really sure I could have found it?"

Conan instinctively turned around: "Ichima?"

The person not far away, with a slightly pale complexion and a few beads of sweat on his forehead, is none other than his sickly but capable of hitting and infuriating others younger brother.

"What?" After Kudo Kazuma came over, he first ruffled his older brother's hair, then gave Kurosawa Kagami a meaningful look, coughed a few times, and said to Conan, "You brat, you don't even call me 'brother,' isn't that going too far?"

Conan immediately gave a half-moon-shaped look.

Which brat doesn't even call me "brother"?!

But... it turns out that Kazuma and Kurosawa are not the same person?

Let's give in to him since he's not feeling well.

Conan cleared his throat and reluctantly began, "Ichima-nii..."

Kudo Kazuma nodded with satisfaction, and then greeted Hattori Heiji and Ran.

When his gaze fell upon Kurosawa, who was watching the commotion, he paused slightly, "Is this... Hattori's friend?"
