Ran looked at Conan and smiled very gently.

"That's someone who's very, very important to me, do you understand?"

Conan immediately became extremely vigilant, and his entire tone changed.

"Is he...more important than Shinichi-nii-san?"

Ran patted Conan's head and said softly, "Silly boy, that person is not the same as Shinichi. They can't be compared at all."

Conan was struck dumb!

He and that person... are simply incomparable?

How could he not know that Xiaolan has such an important person by her side?

Even he can't compare, so who is that person?

Who is it?

"Okay, Conan, I'll go buy you a cake. Once you get the cake, go home obediently, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Conan was completely taken aback.

Even if that person is more important than him, why can't even Conan, a kid, be there when they meet?

Ran looked at Kazuma Kudo: "Kazuma, Conan really doesn't belong here. Could you please take him back for me later?"

Kudo Kazuma nodded, his tone full of schadenfreude: "Don't worry, I'll take him back properly."

Seeing his petrified older brother, he began to regret that he had forgotten to mention the mini camera to Shuichi Akai when he met him the day before.

With that thought in mind, he quickly took out his phone and started typing away.

Remember to bring me a mini camera next time we meet.

After sending the message, Kudo Kazuma noticed that his miniature, unlucky brother was still in a state of shock, and couldn't help but ask with amusement, "What's wrong? Your sister Ran didn't let you come along, and you're already upset?"

Conan then realized that in his bratty younger brother's eyes, he was just an elementary school student living at Ran's house, and not Shinichi Kudo at all.

He quickly composed himself and said angrily, "I don't believe that there's anyone more important to Ran than Shinichi! Maybe Ran has been fooled by some smooth-talking playboy!"

"Of course there are!" Kudo Kazuma bluntly contradicted his older brother. "Her parents are more important than your Shinichi brother, aren't they?"

"Didn't you hear what Ran just said?" He shook his head, embellishing the story, "Compared to that person, Shinichi Kudo is like the glow of rotten grass, or the bright moon in the sky—completely incomparable!"

Conan was almost furious.

Even if that brat doesn't know he's Shinichi Kudo, doesn't he know about Ran's relationship with him?

How could he speak so sarcastically to him behind his back? This younger brother is hopeless!

"I'll stake the reputation of the Junior Detective League on this! I'm going to see just what kind of extraordinary person could possibly get Ran-neechan to come here for a date! Just you wait and see!"

He clenched his fists, whether out of jealousy or resentment towards Kudo Kazuma, it was hard to tell.

Kazuma Kudo rolled his eyes.

Do the Junior Detective League have any concept of honor?

If someone can even gamble with this stuff, this unlucky guy is probably going to lose big this time.

Like a hunting dog intently watching its prey, Conan began to scrutinize the entrance carefully, muttering under his breath as he analyzed each customer who entered the café.

Kudo Kazuma pretended not to hear, idly stirring his coffee with a spoon, looking down at the tiny bubbles swirling inside...

Wow~ What a beauty~

Suddenly, Conan's very quiet sigh came from not far away.

When Kudo Kazuma looked up, he found that Conan had already run to the other side of the table and was now facing away from him, peeking at the beautiful woman at the next table.

What kind of beauty could make my own brother forget that he was jealous?

He couldn't help but become curious as well.

Following Conan's gaze, he met the somewhat sharp eyes of the mature woman opposite him.

She is indeed a beauty, and has a very strong presence.

However... Kudo Kazuma was a little puzzled. Why did this beautiful auntie look so familiar?

Another point is that the beautiful aunt clearly had emotions when she looked at him for the first time; she seemed both proud and dissatisfied, as if she were looking at her own junior.

But then all those emotions disappeared.

what's the situation?

As he was pondering this, he heard the wind chimes at the door ring again, and a young man with long, flowing hair who looked like a playboy walked in.

The man's voice carried a hint of frivolity: "I'm here to meet a young woman. Hasn't she arrived yet?"

Conan instantly locked onto his target, keeping a close eye on the playboy.

Kudo Kazuma, however, felt that was not the case—did Ran Mouri seem like the kind of person who would meet with a playboy like that?

But... who could it be?

He became curious too.

"Hey, this is Prince Ruo!" The playboy made a phone call while waiting for someone. "I have an appointment with a girl, please don't mess it up, okay? Which girl? Of course, it's..."

Conan was furious when he heard the prince's endless stream of scumbag remarks, but Kudo Kazuma suddenly thought of something.

If it's a prince?

Huang Yuyi?

And... the "Fei Law Firm" on the beautiful aunt's file folder...

He remembered!

Although he hadn't watched Detective Conan for over a decade and couldn't remember many of the plot points, he was still a long-time fan and remembered some of the classic elements.

The names that Old Thief Qingshan often gives to extras... to put it nicely, are cleverly designed; to put it bluntly, they're just lazy.

For example, in the episode where Eri Kisaki appears, all the extras, including the murderer and the victim, have surnames that follow Eri Kisaki's style, all of which are related to the royal family.

and so……

His gaze inadvertently fell on the beautiful auntie who was passing by him.

Now he knew why Conan blushed when he looked at her, why she looked familiar to him, and why this beautiful woman looked at him so strangely.

Because Ran looks like Eri Kisaki, her older brother blushes when he sees her.

Because I don't know when I saw Eri Kisaki's photo at my mother's house, I felt that she looked familiar.

When Eri first looked at him, she was emotional, probably because she mistook him for her unlucky older brother at first glance!

and so……

Kudo Kazuma's gaze fell on Conan, who was about to activate the Foot Regen and give Prince a kick.

How severe were the psychological traumas this unlucky guy suffered as a child?

He really didn't recognize his future mother-in-law!

Suddenly, the phone rang in the store. The waiter answered it and asked loudly, "Mr. Edogawa? Who is Mr. Edogawa?"

Kazuma Kudo nudged Conan, who turned to look at him and asked, "They're not looking for you, are they?"

"Are you stupid?" Kudo Kazuma waved his phone. "I have a phone."

Conan couldn't help but give a half-moon look.

[You silly little brother! You're the one who's stupid! Who told you to use Edogawa as a fake surname?]

He snorted, ran over to answer the phone, and said irritably, "Who is this?"

Then, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his voice unconsciously became more effeminate: "Sister Xiaolan~ Is there something you need?"

"Hiss—" Kudo Kazuma gasped.

Then he suddenly lowered his head and started typing rapidly on his phone.

I don't need the mini camera anymore, do you have a mini camcorder? Ideally, one that can record both sound and video!

Shuichi Akai replied to his messages instantly.

【? 】

You need to take your medicine!

Kudo Kazuma's lips twitched.

Shuichi Akai, you're finished!

He angrily deleted Shuichi Akai's text message.

He believed that Shuichi Akai could definitely get him a mini camera.

If he really can't get it, then I'll rip him off once I get the Maple Leaf Coins.

Anyway, he only promised to save Miyano Akemi's life, but he didn't promise not to hurt Akai Shuichi. Besides, when the organization takes action, he can't be blamed, right?
