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

Needless to say, Shinichi Kudo, under Kogoro Mouri's disapproving gaze, ultimately chose to spend the night at his younger brother's place.

Kudo Kazuma had only been dozing off for a short while when he was woken up by the noise.

I was woken up by Conan's voice.

He was jolted awake.

No, Conan?

Didn't Haibara say the drug's effects last at least 72 hours?

Did the night pass by in the blink of an eye, or did the effects of the medication shorten?

Kazuma Kudo suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shinichi Kudo sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a voice changer with a ribbon in his hand, making a phone call in Conan's voice.

"...Hmm, that does sound a bit off. Maybe Ayumi, your judgment is right. That guy could very well be the arsonist behind the recent series of fires..."

"Right? Conan, you're feeling better now, so you can go out tomorrow, right? I'm thinking of going to the Metropolitan Police Department to file a report tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

Shinichi Kudo thought for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Um... that's fine, but probably not too early..."

He didn't know when the effects of the drug would wear off. In his opinion, it would be best if he could last as long as possible, but he couldn't very well go to the Metropolitan Police Department with those kids when the time came.

"It's a deal then~" Ayumi on the other end of the phone sounded quite happy. "After school, we'll come find you, and we'll all go to the Metropolitan Police Department together!"

After making the appointment with Ayumi, Shinichi Kudo hung up the phone and turned to Kazuma Kudo: "Kazuma, do you have any recent newspapers here?"

Kazuma Kudo smirked: "Do I look like the kind of person who would save newspapers?"

However, just because he doesn't read newspapers doesn't mean that others don't.

So Kudo Kazuma yawned again and went to the guest room to get a copy of the day's newspaper from Asagi Minoru, who was still engrossed in taking notes.

Seeing that Asano Minami showed no intention of putting away her notes, Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but ask, "What time is it? Still studying? Are you taking the graduate school entrance exam?"

Asagi cleared his throat lightly: "That's about it. My mentor said that my basic knowledge of drug A is too weak. If she weren't short-handed right now, I wouldn't be qualified to practice with my limited abilities."

He said somewhat helplessly, "Since the basic knowledge is weak, it's always good to brush up on it."

Kudo Kazuma was filled with awe and paid high tribute: "If the drug's effects last longer than the expected 72 hours, I'll give you a bonus. If it lasts for an hour longer, the bonus will double."

With a slightly stunned look on Asagi's face, Kudo Kazuma took the newspaper and went back to his bedroom.

Seeing the newspaper reports of four arson attacks in recent days, he already understood. It seemed Ayumi had just happened to run into the arsonist, which was why she called specifically?

So... his chance has come!

He hadn't forgotten that he wanted to teach those three kids who caused his brother's shooting a lesson.

I wonder where Agave, who's using a puppet body, has gone. It's time for him to get to work...

"What are you thinking about?"

The newspaper was snatched from his hand, and Shinichi Kudo looked at his younger brother with some suspicion: "I have a feeling you're up to no good?"

“That’s true.” Kudo Kazuma snorted. “The thought of you having to take care of those three brats tomorrow makes me think of nothing good! You’ve probably forgotten how you got shot last time.”

At this point, he glared at his older brother with exasperation: "Can you please stop being so soft-hearted towards those brats? So what if they're kids? Did you cause this much trouble when you were their age?"

"I admit they are quite smart, but if they are too clever for their own good and don't listen to others, they will only cause trouble."

"Are you babysitting their parents for free? Don't be so polite to them. You should discipline them and teach them a lesson before rushing to rescue them. If they still don't listen to you, I'll beat them up for you!"

Shinichi Kudo was both amused and exasperated: "I know... but you don't need to be so hostile towards them, do you?"

Kudo Kazuma snorted and simply closed his eyes to go to sleep!

Of course, in Shinichi Kudo's eyes, his younger brother was just too lazy to pay attention to him and simply went to sleep. In reality, at this moment, Kazuma Kudo released his Yang clone and placed it in the cat room where a cat, a dog, and a rabbit currently lived.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was disturbing him in the cat room, Kudo Kazuma's Yang clone found a place to sit down and began to close his eyes to search for the connection between himself and the puppet's body.

The one closest to me is, of course, Ma Shengshi.

Next up is Beika Town 2-chome, which is of course Haruka Haibara.

The other one, located further away near the Oni Sakura Building, was clearly Hara Yoshiaki, who had rented a new apartment.

Then there's a place still within the Tokyo metropolitan area... Kudo Kazuma can't describe the direction.

Given that he knew that Morofushi Kagemitsu was disguised and following Amuro Tooru as an outer member of the intelligence group, and that there was indeed a puppet body that he felt was far away, then the one whose direction was unclear must be Agave.

Without saying a word, he directly contacted Agave using the connection between the puppet's body and its master.

"Hey! Tequila! Calling Tequila! We've got a crew here..."

Just as he was about to go to sleep, the teenage version of Tequila became instantly alert upon hearing the inexplicable voice in his mind. He looked around warily and asked, "Danpo! Where are you! What are you up to now!"

A voice filled with skepticism echoed in his mind, and Kudo Kazuma pouted, unable to resist mentally complaining, "What the hell? I told you I'm here for work! You haven't forgotten that you're still using the puppet body I created for you, have you? Listen carefully..."

Ignoring Tequila's questions and insults, Kudo Kazuma simply gave three addresses: "Go to these three places tonight and set them on fire. Don't worry about the results. Just make sure it's clean and don't get caught."

"...You wish! Who wants to do anything for you!"

On the other side, Tequila was still relentlessly refuting, but Kudo Kazuma was in no hurry. He coolly said, "So you don't want this body anymore? Or do you want me to forcibly control your body and make your own moves?" This silenced him instantly.

"Hurry up, and I'll give you a bonus later if you do a good job. It won't be less than the bonuses you get in the organization."

Tequila: "???"

Can we trust what Danpo says?

It's just setting a fire anyway, so why don't we... give it a try?

Kazuma Kudo didn't care what Agave thought.

He is the master of the puppet body, and even without coercion, the puppet body usually will not go against his will. Let Tequila think whatever it wants, as long as it gets the job done.

Let's just light a fire this time, consider it a small warning to those three brats.

After retracting his Yang clone, Kudo Kazuma went to sleep feeling refreshed.

Then, the next day, he was pulled out of bed again...

Kudo Kazuma, whose sleep was disturbed: "..."

This brother is hopeless, maybe we should just beat him up!
