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

After seeing Hattori Heiji and Kazuha off, Kudo Kazuma parted ways with them and went to the Oni Sakura Building.

On the way, he didn't forget to send Conan a message.

[I told Xiaolan she liked you, and your father-in-law punched you. Did he finally realize your true identity and decide to quit the act?]

Upon receiving the message, Conan frequently turned to look at Kogoro Mouri.

It shouldn't be... right?

Uncle Mori must have gotten used to hitting him.

Besides, that brat is so fast, it would be difficult for Uncle Mori to beat him up if he really wanted to. And since he happens to be Ichima's "little brother," that's probably why Uncle Mori beat him up...

That must be the case!

If Uncle Mori really knew his true identity, how could he tolerate me being in contact with Ran like this every day? He would have thrown me to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw and kicked me out of the detective agency long ago, right?

For the next period of time, Kazuma Kudo was busy with the issue of the company's new address.

Meanwhile, Gin was busy with something, and he went to the base twice but didn't see him. However, he did receive two missions from Gin, both of which were sniping missions, and they were relatively close-range, which suited him very well.

After the new company address was finalized, the existing team at Kurosawa Software quickly moved there. Yuuki Tsugami went to Osaka first, while Kazuma Kudo went to see Ai Haibara to express his thoughts.

"You mean...skincare products?"

Ai Haibara was somewhat puzzled: "How did you connect drug A with skincare?"

When it comes to making money, Kazuma Kudo is incredibly patient: "Think about it this way, since APTX-4869 has the effect of making people younger, then its ingredients must have the effect of making people look younger."

"If we reduce the amount of drug A indefinitely, we will also reduce the drug's toxicity and age-reducing effect indefinitely, while ensuring its stability... Do you think putting these drug ingredients into skincare products would make users look younger?"

That's not just making you look younger, it actually makes you look a little younger, right?

Ai Haibara frowned slightly: "But drug A itself is supposed to activate the cell's self-destruct program. Is your hypothesis really feasible?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Anyway, putting aside the dangers, Drug A only makes people younger. I've never seen anyone who has used Drug A and become older."

"If we can infinitely reduce the amount of ingredients and improve stability and safety, why not give it a try?"

"Anyway, I'll provide the equipment and the research funding. If it succeeds, you'll be a core R&D staff member for the brand. If it fails, it'll just be another research experience for you."

Ai Haibara stared at Kazuma Kudo for a while, then her eyes suddenly flashed with an uncontrollable light.

It seems she has a new research direction.

I was not forced by the organization to research those poisons, nor was I researching antidotes to atone for my sins.

It was for another person's sake, and also for her own new life.

The usually aloof girl suddenly smiled, a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Kudo Kazuma: "Although it's a bit unrealistic, I think it's worth a try. I have to say, just like your brother said, many times your ideas take a different approach, but... they are very effective."

In a great mood, Ai Haibara waved to Kazuma Kudo: "Alright, I'll go check out the possibility you mentioned. I'll contact you if I get a result. That's all for now, bye~"

After giving the order to leave, Ai Haibara walked briskly towards the underground research lab.

"Ai, dinner's ready." Seeing her sister head to the underground lab, Haibara Haruka turned to Kudo Kazuma. "Why is she in the lab at this hour? She seems to be in a good mood. Did you say anything to her?"

Kazuma Kudo blinked and said innocently, "I just gave her some suggestions on her research."

This suggestion, however, might require her to spend a long time in the research lab...

After lunch, Ai Haibara still hadn't come out of the lab, so Haruka Haibara had no choice but to go and bring lunch to her sister.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Kudo received a call from Yuki Tsugami, went back to the company to pack up, and planned to go to Osaka the next day.

Before he even left the company, Kazuma Kudo received a call from Conan, asking if he wanted to go to Osaka together.

It turns out that the Suzuki family has opened a Suzuki Museum in Osaka Castle Park, where they will be exhibiting a treasure called "Egg of Memories".

They received a notice from Kaito Kid a few days ago, so Shiro Suzuki specially invited Kogoro Mouri to help catch Kaito Kid.

Kazuma Kudo was also among those invited, which is why Conan called to ask if he wanted to come along.

"No, my negotiations are scheduled for tomorrow, and I've already told Sonoko I'll be a little late. You guys go ahead, and I'll meet up with you after I'm done here."

The next day, Kudo Kazuma and Tsugami Yuuki went to Osaka.

In reality, while it's said that he was needed for the negotiations, it was actually Tsugami Yuki who was in charge. As the president, he mainly played a decorative role and made the final decision.

So rather than saying he was busy all day, it would be more accurate to say he was bored all day in Osaka.

After finishing my work at the company, it was already past 5 p.m. Then I had dinner with Yuki Tsugami, and before I knew it, it was 7 p.m. The sun was setting and it was getting dark.

Yuuki Tsugami booked two rooms at the hotel, but since Conan said that Kid might take action at 3 a.m., he decided to meet up with Conan and the others first.

As soon as I stepped out of the hotel, a slight chill settled over me.

"Hmm? Is it raining?"

Kudo Kazuma looked up and saw not only the shimmering raindrops under the neon lights at night, but also a snow-white dove flying across the sky.

He curled the corners of his lips into a smile and waved to the air: "Hello, little pigeon."

The pigeons, of course, did not respond to Kudo Kazuma's call, but instead flew all the way to the top of Tsutenkaku Tower.

On the Tongtian Pavilion, under the moonlight.

Dressed in a white suit and wearing a white cape, Phantom Thief Kid reached out, accepted the pigeon, and removed the listening device from its leg.

A moment later, Phantom Thief Kid opened his arms, facing the myriad lights below, as if facing countless spectators.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The real show is about to begin!"

As he finished speaking, dazzling fireworks lit up the sky above Osaka Castle.

Watching the dazzling fireworks bloom one after another, Phantom Thief Kid put his hands in his pockets and smiled with satisfaction.

"So many fireworks, you didn't steal them, did you?"

The sudden sound from behind made Phantom Thief Kid's smile freeze, and he slipped, almost falling from the height.

He looked down speechlessly and saw Kudo Kazuma sitting not far from him on the edge. When he saw him looking over, he waved to him and said, "We meet again, little brother~ Are you happy to see your good older brother?"

Kaito Kidd: “…”

Why is he everywhere?!
