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

After entering, Kudo Kazuma and Gin found a place to sit down.

His attention then turned to Kogoro Mouri and his group.

No one knew what they had talked about before, but a man with a small mustache on his chin said to Eri Kisaki, "Please, stop being so stubborn. Every time Mr. Mori solves a case, you carefully cut out and kept the related news reports. Do you think I don't know that?"

Eri blushed: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? Dad's the same way. Every time the newspaper reports a case that Mom is in charge of, he sneaks up in the middle of the night to read it. It seems Dad and Mom are the same!"

Kogoro Mouri blushed upon hearing this, then punched Conan on the head in an annoyed tone: "You brat! How did Ran know what I was doing in the middle of the night? Did you tell her?"

Conan covered his head with both hands, looking helplessly at his father-in-law who was taking the opportunity to beat him up: "So what if you peeked? A man should be responsible for his actions!"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After his older brother reveals his hand, he'll probably get beaten up even more.

Conan had a feeling that his younger brother was nearby. Upon hearing the laughter, he immediately stood up and craned his neck to see if Kudo Kazuma was really there.

Unfortunately, he's a bit short now, and looking across the rows of booths, he can only see the tops of some people's heads. Based on that alone, he didn't see anyone he recognized.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

It wasn't until the lawyers who had come with Eri Kisaki persuaded them to go together and find a place for a drink, and they left their seats, that Conan inadvertently caught a glimpse of a cold, silvery-white figure...

Gin?

Conan paused.

Just then, Ran noticed Kazuma Kudo and Gin not far from them: "Hey, aren't these the two Kurosawa gentlemen?"

She leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered, "Shouldn't we go say hello?"

As the two were discussing, Kogoro Mouri came over to greet them.

Disguised as Kurosawa Kagaku, Kudo Kazuma pretended to have just seen the group and greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Mori, Ms. Mori, Conan, hello there, and who are you all?"

Kogoro Mouri then introduced, "This is my wife Eri and her friends."

Eri Kisaki greeted the two of them first, and Kogoro Mouri and Ran exchanged a few pleasantries. However, Conan, who was theoretically the person most familiar with Kurosawa, remained silent.

He is observing.

Observe Kurosawa's every move.

After all, every time he saw Kurosawa, he would vaguely sense that Kazuma was nearby; that subtle sense of familiarity was always there.

From beginning to end, Conan never completely dismissed his doubts about whether Kurosawa and his younger brother Kudo Kazuma were the same person.

So far, the only time he's ever seen Kurosawa and Kazuma appear together was once, in Osaka. Even at the Beika Central Building incident, the two who "appeared at the same time" didn't actually meet directly.

Moreover, these two simultaneous appearances—one where Kurosawa left in a hurry, and the other where Kazuma spoke a few words to him and then ran away—make it not at all strange to say that one of the two was someone else in disguise.

So, if Kurosawa is indeed Kazuma...

Who is Kurosawa Jin?

Is this person who looks almost exactly like Gin really not Gin?

Conan was curiously observing Kurosawa Jin when he was suddenly stared at by an impatient gaze, and coincidentally, he met Kurosawa Jin's eyes.

Conan was taken aback. This gaze was full of impatience, but there was no coldness in it. It was no different from the last time Gin looked at him from the Tokyo Tower.

Could it be that he really is...?

"Conan?" Ran pulled Conan's hand a little tighter, bringing him back to his senses. "Say goodbye to Mr. Kurosawa and the others, we should go now."

Conan responded almost reflexively, "Oh, okay. Mr. Kurosawa, Brother Koin, goodbye."

As Conan left with Mori and his group, he couldn't help but look back one last time.

Can't go wrong.

Whether it was the subtle connection between him and Kazuma, the twins, or that one glance from Kurosawa Jin...

If Kurosawa is Kazuma and Kurosawa is Gin, then wouldn't the "big brother" that Kazuma often mentions be Gin?

This explains Gin's attitude towards him last time at Tokyo Tower.

But if that's the case...

What exactly did Yizhen go through without his knowledge, and what was he hiding from himself?

Is he... also a member of that organization?

How could this be?

It must be my imagination, right?

It must be...

"Conan?" Ran noticed that Conan was acting strangely. Since she was lagging behind anyway, she picked him up before Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki noticed and asked softly, "What happened? You seem a bit off?"

Conan shook his head slightly, his tone a little strained: "I can't be completely sure about this right now... I'll tell you later, okay?"

Ran nodded: "Okay, I believe you. Shinichi, no matter what happens, I'm here for you."

Compared to being completely unaware before, she was already very satisfied that Conan, or rather Shinichi, was able to tell her the truth.

Normally, Conan might not be so happy to hear Ran say that.

This time, however, he merely nodded blankly, his expression still very solemn.

In the coffee shop, Kazuma Kudo watched Ran leave with Conan in her arms and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Gin glanced at him and said nothing.

Kudo Kazuma, however, took the initiative to ask, "If I were to come clean, I'd probably fall out with Conan. Brother, do you think... Kassasa might take the opportunity to cause trouble?"

Perhaps because he forcibly appeared in this world and occupied half of Shinichi Kudo's position, his feelings for Shinichi Kudo were far stronger and more obvious than Shinichi Kudo's feelings for him.

Even so, this was the first time in his life that Kudo Kazuma had noticed his older brother's turbulent emotions—although it wasn't very obvious on the surface, Kudo Kazuma could tell from his own intuition that his brother's heart was in a state of turmoil beyond description.

Even when he guessed that Conan had committed murder last time, Conan's emotions were not this intense.

Needless to say, he must have guessed that he was a member of the organization.

In fact, Kudo Kazuma had known all along that, given his brother's intelligence, as long as the filter of "his younger brother talking nonsense every day" was removed, and with a little deeper thought and analysis, his identity could not be kept secret for long.

After all, even if he could create a clone to confuse the situation, he couldn't erase the stronger connection between him and his brother that was far more pronounced than that between ordinary twins.

This connection was both a shackle on him and a bond between them. With the blessing of the world's will, they were like the brightest star in the night sky in each other's eyes, impossible to ignore.

He was just a bit hesitant.

While he was still being targeted by Kashasa, before he could dismantle the organization and take control of its core, should he confront them directly?
