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

After washing his hands, Conan went to find the old policeman.

After seeing the sheet music that Keiji Aso left for his son, Aso Minami, Conan finally understood everything.

While Kogoro Mouri was looking for him in the broadcasting room, Conan knocked out his future father-in-law with a single shot and began his crime-solving performance.

After Kogoro Mouri's mystery show ended, everyone realized that Makoto Asai, or rather, Makoto Asai, was missing...

Kudo Kazuma was speechless. It was Inspector Megure who was having a conversation with "Kogoro Mouri" from afar. Why were the others listening so attentively when they had nothing else to do?

Well, now the murderer has gotten away, hasn't he?

Just as everyone was searching for Asagi's whereabouts, melodious piano music drifted from the piano room of the community center...

Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback: "It's moonlight..."

Kudo Kazuma frowned, his face full of doubt: "There aren't any more dead people, are there?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure led the way and ran towards the community center.

When everyone arrived at the piano room, it was already engulfed in flames.

Amidst the flames that threatened to engulf everything, the melodious sound of a piano played continuously, much like it had twelve years ago.

Seeing Conan rush in without regard for anything, Kudo Kazuma quickly followed.

Asagi is already contemplating suicide; this unlucky guy can't afford to get himself involved.

With a "bang," Conan pushed open the door and strode towards Asano Narumi, holding the sheet music in his hand.

“It’s not over yet! Look, this is the sheet music your father left you!” He stood on tiptoe and tried his best to hand the sheet music to Ma Shengcheng’s eyes.

"It says on it, 'Sung-shi, you must survive on your own.' Take a look and come out with us!"

Asagi looked down at Conan, who had a determined look on his face, and then looked up at Kudo Kazuma, who was following behind him and watching him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Thank you, but it's too late, little detective..."

Not only did her father's dying words come too late, but the truth that Kudo Kazuma brought also came too late.

If he had known all this beforehand, he might have sought revenge for his family in a different way, by sending all those people to the police station.

In this way, he wouldn't have to get his hands dirty with blood, and could enter Kudo Kazuma's company with a clean slate...

He gave Kudo Kazuma a deep look, then suddenly grabbed Conan, shoved him into Kudo Kazuma's arms, and pushed the two of them out.

"Honest Doctor!"

Conan wanted to return to the fire, but Kudo Kazuma wrapped his arms around him and held him tightly.

He slapped Kudo Kazuma's arm hard: "Let go of me! Kazuma, we can't let Dr. Makoto die like this..."

"The fire is too big, we can't get in... cough cough cough..." Kudo Kazuma was choked by the smoke and coughed heavily a few times.

These few coughs probably reminded Conan that Kudo Kazuma's health wasn't very good. He sighed, lowered his arms, and stopped struggling.

Amidst the fire, a discordant piano melody drifted out. Conan looked up sharply upon hearing it, only to slowly sink back into despair...

"I... I never imagined that he was an innocent person before he committed murder..."

Conan's deep voice rang out, and Kudo Kazuma didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and ruffled his hair.

At the same time, the slightly regretful voice of the system Moon Fox rang in his mind.

Witness the change in mindset of the chosen one, and receive a reward of 100 points.

The fire burned for a long time, and eventually the entire community center was reduced to ashes.

Where the morning light shone, only the wreckage of the piano remained, along with Asagi's lifeless corpse...

The next morning, Inspector Megure led a team to clear the fire scene.

After confirming that the murderer was dead, he ordered the arrest of Hirata's secretary, who was suspected of drug trafficking, and led the team away from Tsukikage Island.

Since Secretary Hirata wasn't on the mission list and didn't know about other people's contact with the organization, Kudo Kazuma ignored him.

Kazuma Kudo and Conan stood next to the former site of the community center, looking at the ruins before them.

"After we escaped, the honest doctor played the piano in a strange way. Was it a code?"

Conan nodded: "Yes."

Seeing the eager look in Kudo Kazuma's eyes, he cleared his throat: "Thank you, little detective. Thank you for letting me know the truth."

Having gotten the answer from Conan, Kudo Kazuma looked up at Asano Saki, whose spirit was wandering nearby: "So that's what you meant."

"What do you mean?" Conan asked, somewhat confused. "Who are you talking to?"

Kazuma Kudo sighed, feigning seriousness: "Of course, I was talking to Dr. Honesty..."

"Our ship will be leaving soon, so go and get ready. I want to be alone here for a while."

After dismissing Conan, Kudo Kazuma stepped forward and blocked Asano Minami's path.

"If I could find a way to give you a second chance at life, wouldn't that count as a new life?"

Asagi's soul was stunned: "Wasn't I dead? How can you see me?"

"What others cannot do, I can."

"Not only can I see you, but I can also talk to you, and even take your soul away."

Kudo Kazuma looked around at the ruins: "This world has no underworld, no netherworld. After everyone dies, their souls will slowly dissipate within 48 hours."

"However, I can protect your soul, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I can find a way to help you be reborn."

"Who would choose to die if they could live?" Asagi sighed and asked, "What was the first thing you said when you blocked my way?"

Kazuma Kudo tilted his head: "If I could find a way to give you a second chance at life, wouldn't that count as a rebirth?"

"Calculate."

"You said that if there are any newborns, you would come to my company and work for me... Don't forget that."

Asagi smiled, a smile he had never felt before: "Okay, I won't forget."

……

"What? You want me to help you hook up with a dying stray cat?"

In Kazuma Kudo's home, a snow-white Persian cat meows incredulously at the home phone.

“There’s no other way,” Kudo Kazuma shrugged in the bathroom. “There are only thirty-odd hours left, and I can’t understand cat meows, so I can only ask for your help, since you can understand both human speech and cat meows…”

"I won't let you run errands for nothing; I'll thank you when we get back."

"Did you save another soul?" Jingguang Cat on the other end pondered for a moment, then slapped the hang-up button with its paw and leaped out of the house.

……

After arriving at their destination with Asano Minami's soul and following Kagemitsu Neko, Kudo Kazuma looked at the dying "stray cat" in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"So..." He gestured with his hand to the creature in front of him, which was half pure white with light gray fur on its back, had a three-lobed mouth, and a pair of long ears, and asked, "Do you cats all call this kind of creature a stray cat?"

Jingguang Cat pointed helplessly at the little creature's still bleeding thigh with its front paw: "It's not that easy to find a dying stray cat... Before you have your episode, could you please treat this rabbit's wound first?"

"And..." He looked at the gentle, quiet, and faintly smiling female doctor's soul behind Kudo Kazuma and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, due to time constraints, I only found one male rabbit."

Kudo Kazuma coughed heavily twice, took out the bandages and iodine that Kagemitsu had asked him to prepare in advance, and while treating the dying little rabbit's wounds, he suppressed a laugh and recited poetry.

"It's alright. The male rabbit's feet are twitching, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry. When the two rabbits run side by side, how can you tell which is male and which is female?"

Jingguang the cat tilted its head.

Danpo is reciting what looks like an ancient Chinese poem. What does that mean?
