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

"Could it be... that she committed suicide? Or was she murdered by someone?"

“No, neither of these possibilities is correct…” Fukuyama Rokuro, Ebihara Sumi’s fiancé, picked up a thick wooden stick with a rope tied to it. “Sumi has this around her neck.”

The other end of the rope tied to the wooden stick was tied around Ebihara Toshimi's neck.

Fukuyama Rokuro explained to everyone, "These are fixed ropes set up on the riverbank to prevent the danger of being swept away."

"Is that so?" Kogoro Mouri immediately stepped forward to examine her. "I see. In other words, Miss Sumi walked to this riverbank in the dark, lost her footing, and although she grabbed the rope, the current was too fast, causing the wooden stake to break off. As a result, she was strangled to death by the rope that happened to be around her neck while she was falling..."

Kudo Kazuma barely managed to hear this much, and he wanted to make a comment, but unfortunately his mind was already quite foggy.

He vaguely heard Hattori Heiji say something about the festival taking place under the waterfall, but before he could understand what Hattori was saying, he heard Ran and Kazuha exclaim in surprise, and then everything went black, and he completely lost consciousness...

Ran and Kazuha were initially focused on the body's condition, just like the others. By the time they realized that Kazuma Kudo had fallen unconscious, he was already on the verge of collapsing to the ground.

Fortunately, Kurosawa Jin, who was standing nearby, reached out and grabbed his collar, preventing him from having a close encounter with the ground.

Ran quickly reached out to help Kudo Kazuma: "I'll take care of it, thank you for your help."

Gin casually pulled the unconscious Kudo Kazuma up, subtly avoiding Ran's hand, and skillfully hoisted him onto his shoulder.

"I'm getting a bit bored and don't want to watch the show here anymore. Yin and I will take him back."

"Sigh..." Before Ran could say anything, Gin had already turned around and started walking back with Kudo Kazuma on his back. She could only awkwardly say, "Well, then I'll have to trouble you..."

Conan, engrossed in the case, only then noticed that his younger brother had been carried away by Kurosawa Jin, who resembled Gin.

He quickly scurried over to Xiaolan's side and asked what was going on.

Xiaolan frowned slightly: "Yizhen just fainted. When we found him, he almost fell, but thankfully Mr. Kurosawa caught him. Mr. Kurosawa didn't want to stay here anymore, so he said he would take Yizhen home on his way."

Conan looked in the direction where Kurosawa Jin had left, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Kurosawa Jin isn't Gin, then he's just helping out, and Kazuma won't be in any danger.

If Kurosawa Jin really is Gin, then given his suspicions about Kurosawa Kakuzu, I'm afraid... Isshin would be even less in danger, right?

For some reason, he felt a little lost.

After suspecting it for a while now, he doesn't seem to be as resistant to the idea that Kazuma might be Kurosawa or a member of the organization as he initially was. I really don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

While Conan was struggling with various dilemmas, Gin was carrying Kudo Kazuma and walking towards the hotel under the cover of night.

Kurosawa followed behind him, also looking like he was about to collapse.

"Can we put it away?" Gin frowned as he looked at the puppet Kurosawa.

He didn't want to have to carry another one later.

Even if this is a puppet body, it can't just be left here and abandoned after losing its consciousness, right?

Inside the puppet Kurosawa, the last vestige of Kudo Kazuma's consciousness was also on the verge of collapse.

"I've never done it like this before... I'll give it a try..."

Perhaps because his true self was right beside him, he tried to put the puppet's body into his true self's system space, while that wisp of consciousness returned to his true self.

Without the burden of the puppet body, the main body managed to wake up, but its condition was still quite poor.

"Big brother, you...you should put me down...walk by yourself, I..."

"Hmph! If I put you down, can you even walk?" Gin sneered. "I said I'd take you back, so that's it."

"No, I..." Kudo Kazuma coughed a few times, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of arguing, "My stomach hurts... Big brother, slow down, it's making my stomach uncomfortable..."

He was perched on Gin's shoulder, and Gin's not-so-broad shoulder was pressing against his stomach. Being carried upside down was incredibly uncomfortable.

Gin, however, completely ignored him and continued walking quickly.

"Cough cough, big brother...you, I...be careful, I might throw up all over you in a minute..."

Not only did Kazuma Kudo spout nonsense, he also twisted and turned, trying to get off Gin's shoulder.

Gin: "..."

He impatiently helped Kudo Kazuma adjust to a more comfortable position and then continued walking.

Kudo Kazuma sighed, "Never mind, big brother, I... I'll do it myself."

Then, under Gin's incredulous gaze, he slowly rose upwards, leaving Gin's shoulder and floating in mid-air.

"That's much better..." Kudo Kazuma coughed a few times, then slowly descended, hovering a dozen centimeters off the ground in the low air. "Let's go, big brother."

Gin: "..."

He felt he couldn't go on.

What other bizarre, inhuman abilities does Danpo possess that he is unaware of?

After forcing himself back to the hotel, Kudo Kazuma collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately. Gin couldn't bear to see him like that, so he took off his coat and covered him with a blanket.

Kudo Kazuma didn't wake up until noon the next day after he fell asleep.

I woke up to find I had a fever...

When Hattori Heiji, who shared a room with him, saw him wake up, he quickly came over and asked, "You've been sleeping for so long, are you feeling any better? Kudo, you were so scary, how could you just faint like that?"

Kudo Kazuma raised his hand to support his forehead, and after a while, he spoke in a muffled voice: "Only the two of you think it's scary, right? My brother and the others are probably used to it."

Heiji Hattori waved his hands repeatedly: "This is not a good thing~ I'll go call them over. It's fine that Kazuha and Ran are not available, but for some reason, Kudo doesn't come to watch over you either. The old man from the agency comes to check on you from time to time."

He then went out to call for help.

After taking a nap, Kudo Kazuma's headache eased considerably, since he hadn't released the puppet's body all night. As for the fever...

He's gotten used to this from spending so much time with his brother.

When Hattori Heiji went to call for help, Kudo Kazuma heard some noise from his phone, so he took it out and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a Bond message from Gin.

Controlling that puppet must have been mentally taxing, right? Let's go back. Let Shinichi Kudo be suspicious; if he really wants to do something, I'll handle it for you.

Kazuma Kudo put away his phone and sighed speechlessly.

Was he afraid of what his brother might do?

He was clearly worried that if his brother suddenly found out the truth, their relationship would deteriorate, okay?

However, judging from Conan's recent behavior, it seems that he is gradually lowering his bottom line.

Actually, once he lowers his standards to a certain level, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just tell him the "truth" he had told the Kudo Yusaku couple.

Anyway, it's not like Kudo Kazuma hasn't done things that push other people's boundaries before.

Isn't Gin a perfect example?
