After Kaito Kuroba left, Kazuma Kudo withdrew his Yang clone.

Regarding the matter of Kuroba Toichi, he felt that he could ask his father, Kudo Yusaku, if he knew anything about it—it was better than letting Toichi take risks every day, right?

When Yang's clone disappeared, the real body had already driven Conan and the Golden Goddess Statue back to the Shiodome Museum, where they met the furious, real Suzuki Jirokichi.

"Damn it! That despicable thief! He impersonated me and stole my Blue Miracle! Damn it!"

Kogoro Mouri and Ginzo Nakamori have already taken Ran and Sonoko and set off in another car to chase after Kaito Kid.

Needless to say, you can't catch up with anything.

After Conan got out of the car, he called Ran. They were on their way back at that moment.

When Suzuki Jirokichi saw that the golden goddess statue with the blue miracle had been brought back by Kudo Kazuma and Conan, his mood improved considerably, and he showered the two brothers with praise.

However, after seeing several reporters with their cameras and microphones surrounding the two brothers, the old man's expression turned grim again.

Sure enough, the next day, the front page of the newspapers was full of reports about Kudo Kazuma and Conan driving away Kid and protecting the Blue Miracle from Kid. Some newspapers even pointed out that they were brothers and apprentices trained by the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, making them brother detectives.

Jirokichi Suzuki was furious when he saw these reports.

His headline has disappeared again!

Since it was already past midnight, the group did not return to Mika, but instead stayed overnight at Shiodome under the arrangement of the garden.

It just so happened that Shiodome was relatively close to one of the addresses where Kassasa had once lived, so Kudo Kazuma immediately released a Yang clone and used the [Sword Control Technique] to travel to that address.

After a night of running around, Yang's clone visited both addresses. Needless to say, he found no clues. At most, he could only prove that people connected to the organization had lived there, and...

One of the addresses shows that the resident had only left a few days ago.

If Vodka had acted even a little faster, Kassasa would have been in serious trouble.

However, you can't really blame the hardworking vodka; the cassa was just too slippery.

Because he had been running around in his clone form all night, and hadn't had any spirit income for the past two or three days, plus he was constantly in contact with Conan, Kudo Kazuma promptly fell ill again the next morning.

"You're burning up so high, could it be because you caught a chill from the wind on the rooftop last night? With your constitution, how could you possibly want to sleep on the rooftop? You should have listened to me and gone back inside to rest earlier." Kogoro Mouri complained as he wrung out a towel that had been soaked in hot water and handed it to Kazuma Kudo.

Kazuma Kudo covered his forehead with a towel and argued softly, "Didn't Sonoko have a screen brought up later? Besides, I wasn't sleeping there..."

Xiao Lan was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, Dad, let Yizhen rest. I'll cook some porridge later, and I'll have to trouble you to bring it over."

Kogoro Mouri huffed, "What's that brat doing? His own brother is sick, and he doesn't even come over?"

Ran couldn't explain to her father that Conan's presence would worsen Kazuma Kudo's illness, so she could only awkwardly say, "Conan has his own things to do, he'll come over later to keep watch."

Kudo Kazuma didn't mind and spoke the truth directly: "If my brother comes, my illness will get worse."

"What? You get angry just looking at him, and that's making your illness worse?"

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

To be honest, the guy that Uncle Mori said gets angry whenever he sees Conan is probably himself, right?

Because of their illness, they stayed in Shiodome for another half day.

Seeing that Kudo Kazuma's fever had lasted for half a day and showed no signs of subsiding even after taking antipyretics, Conan didn't insist and left with Ran in a taxi.

Sure enough, by evening, Kudo Kazuma's fever had subsided.

Amid Kogoro Mouri's bewildered question, "You're not kidding me?", Kazuma Kudo escorted him back to the office.

Having gained no spiritual souls, Kudo Kazuma simply went to Base 4 and strictly adhered to the principle of "staying away from death for safety."

At 8 p.m., Kazuma Kudo, who was being intimate with various desserts in the canteen of Base 4, was caught red-handed by Gin.

Kudo Kazuma noticed that his chocolate cake was being hidden by the tall shadow cast on the table. He immediately looked up and greeted Gin, looking slightly unwell, "Big brother, you're here for dinner too?"

Gin glanced at him: "Are you sick?"

Mouth, standing beside Vodka, expressed concern: "Danpo, are you still eating? Do you know how pale you look?"

Kudo Kazuma raised his hand and touched his forehead: "Oh no, I have a fever again. No wonder I felt a little cold."

Gin frowned: "Again?"

"It's nothing serious, he just had a fever all morning..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gin yanked him up from his seat.

"Still eating? Go see a doctor!"

After saying that, she pulled him outside.

"Hey, no... isn't that necessary, bro? A good meal and a good night's rest will do the trick. You don't understand the value of staying away from death and staying safe..."

As Gin dragged him away helplessly, Kudo Kazuma mumbled an explanation.

He thought he would be fine as long as he stayed away from Conan, but it seems this fever has a strong aftereffect and he'll probably need to sleep to recover.

Gin paused upon hearing his explanation, but then, without further ado, dragged him out.

Kudo Kazuma had no choice but to follow, and he also had to ask Vodka to bring the few small desserts on the table for him.

After receiving the injection, Kudo Kazuma gulped down a large cup of hot water before continuing his tender moment with his little cake.

Gin, sitting quite a distance away, asked with some disdain, "What do you mean by 'staying away from death for safety'?"

Kazuma Kudo: "...cough cough cough..."

When Gin opened his mouth, he almost choked. After a while, he finally recovered and explained to Gin, "Brother, you don't understand. There is a Grim Reaper in Mika who is feared by everyone. Wherever he goes, there are almost always murders. Even if it is unintentional, he often takes someone's life. If you get close to that Grim Reaper, it's easy to get into trouble."

Vodka, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Danpo, this person you're talking about is so powerful, how come we've never heard of him before? He sounds like a really skilled assassin; it would be great if he could serve the organization."

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

To be fair, he often helps the organization complete its tasks...

Gin glared at Kazuma Kudo and then glanced at Vodka. Although he didn't say anything, his disdain and contempt were perfectly conveyed.

Noticing Gin's gaze, Vodka belatedly realized what was happening: "Danpo, that Grim Reaper thing, was that just you talking nonsense again?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "At least staying away from death is true, isn't it?"

If Vodka hadn't been so loose-lipped, he really wouldn't have minded telling the truth—Little Vodka, you've even heard the song of death...
