After Gin finished speaking, he walked straight out.

Kudo Kazuma looked puzzled, but still followed Gin to the underground parking lot and got into his beloved Porsche 356A.

"Uh, big brother..." Kudo Kazuma in the passenger seat seemed to wake up from a dream, "You're the driver? What happened to Vodka?"

Gin, who was driving, didn't say anything, only gave a simple snort, and his eyes, which were filled with disdain, were looking at the rearview mirror.

Kudo Kazuma then realized, "Cough, I almost forgot, it's my turn to go on a mission with my older brother."

He casually pulled Gin's phone out of Gin's pocket, had the system Moon Fox temporarily block it, and then continued, "So, big brother, when can I kill that old bastard Rum?"

Gin seemed to choke for a moment before finally speaking: "It's not the right time yet."

Kudo Kazuma pursed his lips, but still didn't say anything.

Seeing his resentful expression, Gin snorted, "He won't have time to bother you for a while, so stop overthinking it."

It seems Gin has made his move.

Kudo Kazuma nodded first, then his eyes lit up: "Does that mean I finally don't have to do the tasks he gives me anymore?"

Gin turned the steering wheel, and his car swerved into a corner: "You can do the tasks I give you."

"Wait! Bro, is it really a mission? I thought it was just an excuse..."

With no other option, Kudo Kazuma went with Gin on a mission to silence witnesses, then had lunch and took a nap at the canteen of Base 4 before returning home.

Someone at home.

Kazuma Kudo thought it was Hiromitsu Morofushi, who was rarely home, but it turned out to be Conan...

Looking at Conan sitting on the sofa reading a detective novel, Kazuma Kudo was stunned for a moment—could it be that he was still half asleep during his afternoon nap and accidentally wandered into the Mouri Detective Agency or the Agasa residence, or perhaps he simply returned to the Kudo residence?

He looked around to make sure he was in his own Edogawa residence before he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get in? Did you break in?"

If he remembered correctly, Conan actually did have lock-picking skills...

Conan's eyes widened in surprise: "How could that be? What are you thinking? It was the person who came to your house to help take care of Xiao Jing who opened the door for me. By the way, who is he?"

"I already said I'm here to help take care of Xiao Jing, so who else could I be?"

Kudo Kazuma went through it in his mind before realizing that "Kage" referred to the cat that used to house Morofushi Kagemitsu's soul, not Morofushi Kagemitsu himself.

He immediately started spouting nonsense: "He is a friend of my colleague, surnamed Zhu Fu. He didn't have a place to live before, so he stayed here for a while. He still stays here occasionally now."

"So, what are you here for?"

As he spoke, Kudo Kazuma reached into his pocket, pulled out a key from the system space, and tossed it to Conan: "Spare key, just in case you actually break in one of my days."

As for whether Conan might encounter a situation where Gin is present but Conan isn't there when Conan comes over...

That shouldn't be the case, right?

Conan put away the keys, sighed, and said, "Megumi turned herself in. Uncle Mori personally called Aunt Eri, wanting her to help defend her."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged, took off his coat, and said to Conan, "It's right for her to turn herself in. After all, she could have just called the police, but she chose to deliberately lead her sister into getting into a car that she knew was loaded with a bomb. This shows that she had murderous intent towards her sister."

"However, she was originally a victim and did not personally harm anyone. In addition, she surrendered herself and showed a good attitude. If Aunt Yingli helps her defend her, she should not be sentenced to a long time."

“It’s not because of that…” Conan put down his book, scratched his head and said, “I’ve found that Uncle Mori is quite capable in this case, no, I should say he’s not confused at all.”

“When I hinted at some clues and suspicious points to him, he didn’t seem to find it strange. And in the end, it was Uncle Maoli who went to Sister Xiaohui, and Sister Xiaohui chose to turn herself in—I always felt that Uncle seemed to know everything this time.”

Kudo Kazuma twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing that he had noticed something was wrong with Uncle Mori.

"It's perfectly normal. Do you really think Uncle Mori is a fool? I think he's just too lazy to use his brain most of the time... Hmph, he might actually know all about your little tricks behind your back."

"Didn't you notice that almost every time he beat you up at a crime scene, it was when there were police officers present or when there were many people around?"

Conan was taken aback when he heard this.

At crime scenes, he was usually engrossed in finding clues. Once he figured them out, he would give Kogoro Mouri a shot. Later, he would tell Ran after finding the truth and ask her to solve the case. From beginning to end, he never paid attention to Kogoro Mouri's behavior.

Kudo Kazuma waved his hand: "Uncle's basic reasoning logic is still very solid. He can't compare to you and Hattori mainly because he is too carefree and loud, and rarely notices those subtle clues."

"Don't you think that, putting aside those clues, his reasoning logic is usually sound?"

Conan was starting to have an existential crisis: "So, does that mean the 'clueless old man' isn't actually that clueless after all?"

He left with his doubts about his father-in-law.

Kudo Kazuma also subconsciously let his imagination run wild—did Uncle Mori realize that Conan was actually Kudo Shinichi?

You probably... don't know, right?

At least he wasn't sure, was he?

Otherwise, could he tolerate Ran and Conan being so intimate? Wouldn't he throw Conan over his shoulder and turn him into Conan-chan before he was satisfied?

Although Conan put away the key given to him by Kazuma Kudo, he didn't come to his place for the next few days.

However, Morofushi Hiromitsu returned and told him that Rum had given Amuro Tooru new orders, only requiring Amuro Tooru to conduct the most basic surveillance on Kudo Kazuma.

It seems Rum really hasn't had time to bother him lately—Gin has indeed made his move?

That day, Kazuma Kudo received a call from Conan, asking him to meet him at Tokyo Station.

"What the heck? Hattori's coming?" Kudo Kazuma glanced at the time, somewhat speechless. "What time is it? He won't arrive until after 1 p.m. Is he planning to have lunch in the car?"

"Hehe, that's not it..." Conan on the other end of the phone was also speechless. "They're about to arrive at the station, so they asked us to pick them up. They even said that since he treated us to a tour of Osaka last time, we should take him to tour Tokyo this time."

Kudo Kazuma smirked: "You're inviting us to tour Osaka and throwing in a life-or-death case for free, huh? You guys go ahead, we'll meet up at the station."

Soon after, Kazuma Kudo arrived at Tokyo Station, first meeting up with the three from his agency, and then began searching for Heiji Hattori's striking figure, a silhouette against the dark background.

Just as he saw Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Hattori Heiji also saw them.

Despite being separated by a crowd, the Grim Reaper of Osaka raised his right hand and enthusiastically shouted, "Over here, over here! We're over here, Kudo!"

Kogoro Mouri also shouted, "What? What did you say, Kudo?"

Conan immediately gave a half-moon look, while Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Keep your mouth shut, YYDS!
