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

Upon arriving at the Beika Hotel, Kazuma Kudo led Conan up to the floor where the event was being held.

After showing his invitation and registering his identity at the front desk, Kudo Kazuma received a blue handkerchief from the front desk.

Conan tiptoed and observed that there were seven boxes at the front desk, containing seven different colored handkerchiefs. He then asked about the purpose of the handkerchiefs.

To complement director Sakamaki's masterpiece "The Rainbow Handkerchief," the organizing team specially prepared seven different colored handkerchiefs, which were distributed to each guest in the order of entry. After the memorial service, a specific color handkerchief was chosen, and the person holding that color handkerchief was invited to come on stage to share their thoughts.

Kudo Kazuma folded his blue handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket, thinking to himself that he was too lazy to express any thoughts. Fortunately, once Touki Shigehiko died, the whole venue would be in chaos and no one would care about this matter.

After registering, the two walked together toward the venue.

Conan was busy observing the venue, and the girl at the front desk was busy staring at Kudo Kazuma's back. No one noticed that a purple handkerchief was suddenly missing from the front desk.

Seeing the bustling crowd in the venue, Conan paused, remarking with some emotion, "They're mostly wearing black..."

"Isn't that obvious?" Kudo Kazuma said speechlessly. "Although a memorial service is not a funeral and doesn't need to be so formal, it is still a way to express our remembrance of the deceased. Wearing black is the most normal thing to do, right? Didn't you notice that I'm also wearing a black suit? If you weren't a child, you would have to change into black clothes too."

Conan said helplessly, "But everyone is wearing black, so it's impossible to tell who's from that organization, right?"

Kudo Kazuma really wanted to ask, "Do you recognize people just by their clothes?"

But when he thought about the way everyone in the organization dressed in black, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

I definitely need to get the action team to change his black clothes first!

Conan, unaware of what his younger brother was thinking, continued, "Luckily, I called Inspector Megure before I came. They should be here soon, right?"

Kazuma Kudo was speechless: "Using Shinichi Kudo's name again?"

"No," Conan said matter-of-factly. "It was a call made in your name, but I asked Inspector Megure to keep it a secret."

Kazuma Kudo: "...Six."

Good news, his brother is much more cautious than before.

The bad news is that his brother is now trying to shift the blame onto him.

This unlucky brother is really unacceptable.

"Oh~ Kazuma, and Conan too~ What a coincidence, we just happened to run into you at the door~"

A string of fluent English came from behind them. Kudo Kazuma and Conan turned around at the same time and saw Chris Vineyard, who was wearing a black dress and had a graceful figure and elegant gait, walking towards them.

Conan asked curiously, "Sister Chris, don't you speak Japanese?"

When they met before, this mother's friend's daughter spoke fluent Japanese!

Chris Vineyard walked over to Conan, put a finger to her lips, and whispered in English, "Shh—don't say it out loud~ I'll pretend I don't speak Japanese, so fewer people will bother me."

After saying that, she winked at Conan, then took his hand and said to Kazuma Kudo, "Let's go inside~"

Kudo Kazuma was speechless, but he still followed them inside.

Then Vermouth took Conan's hand and, while occasionally chatting with people she knew, walked towards a corner where no one would bother her.

Kudo Kazuma followed behind the two, somewhat speechless, and said, "Sister, you've taken Conan to a corner. He's so small, what if he can't see anything on stage later?"

He was truly speechless. He could even guess what Vermouth was thinking—that girl probably thought he would disregard Conan's safety for the sake of the mission, or even harm Conan's safety for the organization's mission, so she took Conan away, right?

Conan was already worried that if he stayed in the corner with Chris Vineyard, he wouldn't have time to react if something happened. Hearing his younger brother's words, he quickly said in a high-pitched voice, "Sister Chris, I want to go to the middle with my brother to see~"

Vermouth was taken aback by his sweet, childlike voice. She paused for a moment before reaching out to pat his head and saying, "Alright, Conan, be careful!"

Kazuma Kudo hugged Conan tightly, saying, "Don't worry, I'm holding him, so no one will step on him."

Kazuma Kudo is now considered one of the most outstanding young people. Although he is not involved in the arts or film industry, people still occasionally come to get to know him and chat with him.

When the two brothers strategically moved to the center of the venue, Inspector Megure had already brought a lot of people over, subtly protecting Shigehiko Tobuguchi in the middle.

Conan whispered, "With the police heavily protecting us now, let's see how that Pisco tries to make a move."

"Don't be careless," Kudo Kazuma reminded him. "It's best to keep a close eye on things."

What else could Pisco do? He could ask for help, of course.

The host on stage announced that some slides that the director had never shown before his death would be displayed. The lights in the entire venue went out instantly, leaving only the large screen emitting a dim glow.

"No..." Kudo Kazuma whispered a reminder, "Toguchi Shigehiko is no longer in his original position."

Upon hearing this, Conan shook his arm: "Put me down, let's go look for it quickly!"

Kazuma Kudo didn't put him down, but instead held him and said, "I'll look on the left, you look on the right."

After saying that, he began to move in the darkness.

Of course, at this moment he didn't even need to activate [Awakening Technique], his extraordinary eyesight alone allowed him to see that Shigehiko Tobuchi had circled around the back of the crowd and walked under the chandelier.

Seeing this, Kudo Kazuma quietly released his Yang clone and walked towards the chandelier.

The host said something that immediately made many people in the audience laugh.

Amidst the laughter, Kazuma Kudo heard a faint, silenced gunshot.

Conan whispered, "There's a sound!"

The two brothers looked in the direction from which the sound came, and then they heard the sound of a heavy object falling and a scream.

Without Conan saying a word, Kudo Kazuma immediately took off and walked over there.

Yang's clone used the [Sword Control Technique] to collect the chain fragments that had been knocked away by the spear and the fallen purple handkerchief, and put them into the system space.

Afterwards, he took out another purple handkerchief from the system space, stuffed it into Masuyama Kenzo's hand, and also took the gun from his pocket.

After doing all that, he went to the reporter he had noticed earlier under the cover of darkness, used the skill [Sound Bewitching], and said to the reporter, "You didn't get any photos this time because you lost your film, understand?"

After he finished speaking, he took the film from the reporter's camera with his gloved hand and disappeared just before the lights came on.

Shigehiko Tobuchi died; he was crushed to death by the chandelier in the venue.

Most people believe it was an accident.

But Conan knew this was the organization's doing, done by a man named Pisco.

However, he never found any evidence, so he couldn't determine who the murderer was, or even how the murderer committed the crime.

After all... the evidence is with Kazuma Kudo.

Kudo Kazuma was carrying Conan the whole time while searching for Tonguchi Shigehiko, so Conan naturally wouldn't suspect his own younger brother.
