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

After making up his mind, Kudo Kazuma summoned his clone that very night and went to see Urashi Seiran.

At that moment, Pu Si Qinglan was looking at a photograph, seemingly lost in thought, when Kudo Kazuma suddenly appeared in the room. Startled, she instinctively tried to attack.

Kudo Kazuma dodged instantly, and seeing how decisively his opponent attacked, he also decisively used the [Sound Bewitching] skill.

"Pusi Qinglan, Shi Kaobing, a descendant of the sorcerer Rasputin?"

Pu Siqinglan was startled. Under the influence of the [Sound Bewitchment], she did not refute her identity, but subconsciously asked, "How did you know? No, that's not right, you are not allowed to insult my ancestors."

Kudo Kazuma pointed to the photo that Urashi Seiran hadn't had time to close on the table: "To be honest, what's the difference between carrying a photo of your ancestors and carrying an ancestral tablet? Isn't that just telling others who you are?"

"Looks like that unlucky guy who took a picture as soon as he walked in was the one who got this photo taken, which is why you silenced him."

"Anyway, you'll be an assassin wherever you are. You might as well take my orders and come back to the organization with me. With your skills, if you change your habit of always aiming for the right eye, you'll get a codename very quickly."

Pu Siqinglan's face showed obvious struggle, as if she was resisting something.

She hesitated before asking, "What organization are you talking about?"

Kudo Kazuma frowned slightly and emphasized again using [Sound Bewitchment]: "Don't worry about what organization it is. You'll find out when you're qualified to get a codename. Until then, just be yourself and follow my orders when it matters."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Except when there are missions, neither I nor the organization will interfere with your activities."

Pu Siqinglan's expression gradually relaxed, then became blank, and finally she nodded in agreement in a daze.

"Go about your business for the next few days, just pretend I wasn't here tonight. I'll come find you after this is all over."

Pu Siqinglan nodded blankly.

After saying that, Kudo Kazuma disappeared from the spot.

The next day, after the ship docked, Shiro Suzuki and Sonoko Suzuki left, while the others traveled by car to Yokosuka, to the Kosaka family's castle.

To protect the Memory Egg that might still exist, Shiratori also came along.

To their dismay, at the castle gate, they encountered Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara... and the three little ones behind them.

Professor Agasa said he was there to deliver something to Conan, but...

Kudo Kazuma glanced at the three little ones, speechless: "Why did they follow us?"

Dr. Agasa smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I didn't notice, and they sneaked onto the car."

Kudo Kazuma smirked and leaned down to look at the three children: "I'm warning you, there's no guarantee there won't be danger in this castle. You'd better not come in, otherwise, if anything happens, no one will care about you, understand?"

Faced with Kazuma Kudo's dangerous gaze, the three children all took a step back and obediently said, "We understand..."

As they were talking, Inui, who was a little late, arrived carrying a large travel bag. Once everyone was there, they followed Natsumi Kosaka into the castle.

Kogoro Mouri specifically instructed the old butler, Sawabe, to lock the castle gates, leaving only Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara, and the three children outside.

"Okay, let's go back."

As soon as Professor Agasa finished speaking, the three little ones said in unison, "Alright, let's get started!"

"What are you doing?" Ai Haibara coldly warned, "Be careful your brother Ichishin teaches you a lesson."

Yuan Tai retorted confidently, "He said we couldn't go in, but he didn't say we couldn't go exploring other places!"

Ayumi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, such a beautiful castle must have places to explore around it!"

Ai Haibara was speechless: "Have you forgotten what happened at the Blue Castle last time?"

“But…” Mitsuhiko said softly, “That time it only looked dangerous, but nothing happened, right…”

"Hurry! Let's go look around, maybe there's another place we can get in!"

"There might be treasure inside!"

"Could there be a princess inside the castle?"

The three little ones ran off like that, leaving Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara with no choice but to follow.

Once inside the castle, everyone followed behind the old steward, Sawabe, as he introduced them one by one.

"This is the knight's room; this is the lady's room, where the old lady often spends the whole day; this is the emperor's room..."

As Sawabe explained, the interior of the castle was gradually revealed to everyone. Unlike the others who were full of amazement, Kudo Kazuma just lagged behind them, playing on his phone, occasionally snapping a photo when something caught his eye, just like a typical tourist.

During this time, Inui said he needed to go to the toilet, and Sawabe didn't think much of it and kindly pointed him in the direction of the toilet. Who would have thought that a little while later everyone would hear Inui exclaim in surprise.

Upon following them, it turned out that this guy was stealing from the noblewoman's room, but had gotten trapped by a trap in the castle...

Sawabe was actually quite kind-hearted, even helping this ill-intentioned customer open the mechanism.

Shiratori checked the contents of Qianjiang's bag and could only say that the equipment was incredibly complete, enough for a dungeon raid.

He pulled out a flashlight, both amused and exasperated, and tossed it to Qian Jiangyi: "From now on, you are not allowed to bring anything except this flashlight."

Conan leaned close to Kazuma Kudo and whispered, "This Mr. Kudo seems to enjoy making contraptions. Do you think there might be a hidden mechanism in the basement, and the Egg of Memories might be in that basement?"

“Possibly.” Kudo Kazuma shrugged. “In my experience, this kind of place is either in the study or the bedroom.”

Shiratori, who had been listening in, chimed in, "The bedroom is more private. If there really is a secret mechanism, it's probably in the study, right?"

He then asked, "Excuse me, where is Master Xiyi's study or office?"

A moment later, the old butler, Sawabe, led several people to the office where Master Kiichi had lived before his death.

After touring for a while, the group mentioned Rasputin in the photograph.

During this time, Kogoro Mouri started smoking. Conan deduced from the direction of the smoke that there was a basement entrance in the room, and also found a switch for entering a password nearby.

After several attempts, the password still didn't work. Finally, Conan remembered the strange pronunciation that Natsumi Kosaka had mentioned. He translated it into Russian and entered it back in, and sure enough, he opened the entrance to the basement.

Looking at the dark passage, Kudo Kazuma turned to Inui Shoichi: "What a coincidence! Your flashlight is much more useful than those random tools now."

As the group walked downstairs, Conan asked curiously, "By the way, what does that string of Russian text mean?"

Pu Siqing frowned slightly: "It's... the magician of the end of the century."

Xiaolan was slightly taken aback: "From Kidd's pre-announcement letter?"

Kudo Kazuma glanced at Shiratori, who shrugged at him.

He had realized long ago that although his cousin was a troublemaker, he still had some principles.

As long as he doesn't admit it, then he is Shiratori.

As long as he doesn't admit it, his cousin can't trick him.

That's it!
