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

Gin thought it was amazing enough that Danpo could conjure a person out of thin air, but he never expected there would be something even more amazing.

He watched as the boy moved his finger toward the person, or rather, the body, on the bed, and the white hair of the person on the bed turned black.

With another flick of his fingers, the body on the bed opened its eyes, and its red pupils turned into the same dark green as Kurosawa's current disguise, and also like Gin's.

He was certain that this method was definitely not a simple disguise...

As Kudo Kazuma muttered to himself, he adjusted the puppet's body, and before long, the puppet's body was exactly the same as his current disguise, Kurosawa Kakuzu.

"Alright, all that's left is the final wait." Kudo Kazuma manipulated the puppet's stiff limbs to sit up from the bed. "Big brother, look, isn't it exactly the same?"

Seeing the puppet body bearing the exact same appearance as Kurosawa, making stiff movements and expressions, Gin couldn't help but frown.

He wouldn't react like this even if you gave him a completely different face; this feeling is just too strange...

Seeing that Gin was not used to it, Kazuma Kudo simply waved his hand and put away the puppet body he had just sculpted.

He has already used his points to exchange for the Puppet Heart to activate the puppet body. In a couple of days, the puppet body will come to life and be no different from a normal person.

At that time, it will be possible to truly have both Kurosawa and Kudo Kazuma appear in front of Conan at the same time.

It's important to know that there's no connection between the puppet body and Conan like that between twins.

It's just that directly controlling the puppet's body is too energy-consuming, so Kudo Kazuma doesn't like using this method.

"Big brother, actually I was thinking of getting a puppet body of yours."

Gin: "What?"

His gaze toward Kazuma Kudo instantly sharpened.

"Ahem, I mean, I did have this idea..." Kudo Kazuma said with a dry laugh, "Since you're willing to cooperate, you can just appear with the puppet Kurosawa Kagura."

When Gin heard the word "puppet," he would think of the puppet body he had just seen, which had the familiar appearance of Kurosawa, but whose limbs and face were stiff and not like a real person, and he would unconsciously frown.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "You're saying that Kurosawa is a puppet? Is it controlled by you personally?"

Kudo Kazuma nodded: "That's right, it won't be so stiff in a couple of days. At that time, apart from being a puppet in essence, it will be no different from being by your side, big brother."

Gin paused for a moment, probably imagining what his own puppet would be like if it were controlled by Kazuma Kudo...

He let out a sigh of relief, somewhat helplessly: "I owed you one before, now I'll help you out this time."

Kudo Kazuma chuckled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother~"

Gin frowned, and seeing the brat's smug expression after getting the better deal, his fist unconsciously clenched.

Or should we beat this kid up again?

Kudo Kazuma sensed the malice emanating from his side and immediately shrank back, saying, "Big brother, you rest well. I'm going out to see Uncle Mori's gossip..."

After saying that, he slipped out and came face to face with a hotel waiter.

Seeing the waiter standing in front of the room Kogoro Mori had gone into, seemingly doing something, Kazuma Kudo curiously approached and asked, "What happened?"

"Um... it's nothing..." The waiter pointed to the sign on the doorknob with some confusion, "When I rang the doorbell last time, no one answered the door, but this sign appeared the next time I came."

Kudo Kazuma curiously leaned over to take a look; it was a sticky note pasted on the "Do Not Disturb" sign provided by the hotel.

The note read: Please remove the beef stew rice; I will pay for it anyway.

The waiter didn't have any beef stew rice in his hands.

Kudo Kazuma asked curiously, "Where's the food?"

The waiter shook his head: "There wasn't any beef stew rice originally. I just came to each room before closing time to ask if any guests still needed service. This is our hotel's routine service, because soon there will only be a few waiters on duty, and the service may not be as prompt after that."

Kudo Kazuma blinked. Why didn't you ask them?

He glanced back curiously and noticed a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the doorknob outside their room, which Gin had probably put up when he wasn't looking.

When Kudo Kazuma entered the female lawyer's room, he had already sensed the presence of a spirit inside. Hearing the waiter's words, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "So, it seems there might be something going on in this room?"

Besides the spirit, he also vaguely sensed Conan's presence nearby. Given Conan's current predicament, he would surely come out to check if he heard him speaking.

Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the room two doors down from theirs opened.

Conan poked his head out from inside, his brow furrowed slightly, but he still managed to feign calmness as he asked, "Huh? Brother Xiaoyin? What are you doing outside Ritsuko's room?"

Kudo Kazuma casually pointed to the card on the door: "It's strange. When I came back, I saw the lady who was with you and Mr. Mori go into this room together. Later, when the waiter rang the doorbell, no one answered the door. When he passed by again, he found this card on the door."

"But...the people in the room didn't order any beef stew rice. Isn't that strange?"

When Conan heard Kogoro Mouri enter the room, his expression changed. After hearing Kurosawa's analysis, he immediately stood guard at the door and then called Ran.

Eri and Ran couldn't find the drunk Kogoro Mouri in any of the hotel rooms, so they went out to look for him. He didn't go out because he had something on his mind. Who would have thought that Kogoro Mouri was with Ritsuko, the woman they had asked about at the beginning?

Eri and Ran rushed back immediately after being notified.

After learning about the situation, Ran immediately went to knock on the door, while Eri dialed Kogoro Mouri's number.

The phone did ring in the room, but no one came to open the door. The increasingly urgent knocking drew the attention of the two male lawyers who were with him.

Suppressing her temper, Eri Kisaki was about to call a hotel staff member to get a spare key when Ran Mouri, the master key user, thought about her father being in a room with another woman. She immediately kicked him, delivering a powerful blow.

The door was opened instantly, revealing the scene inside the room to the group.

Ms. Ritsuko is dead. Her body lies beside the bed, partially exposed, just enough for someone to see from the doorway.

Lawyer Saku Hoji, with a small mustache on his chin, stood to the side, frowning and looking conflicted.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, drunk in bed...

He sat up abruptly, groggily asking, "Huh? What was that sound?"

This scene left everyone stunned.

Only Kazuma Kudo tilted his head and asked curiously, "Huh? Sir, you didn't kill this lady and then try to make the drunk Mori take the blame, did you?"

The people at the door suddenly realized what was going on and all looked at Saku Norifumi.

Only Kogoro Mouri was still clueless: "What? Murder?"

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

The man drank quite a bit this time; he's probably really confused...
