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

Garden had other things to do, so after saying goodbye to the others, she left.

Kazuma Kudo is fine, but he also wants to leave.

Unfortunately, he didn't make it, and instead ended up with a leg accessory.

Eri and Ran walked ahead, discussing whether Eri should go back to live there.

Kudo Kazuma walked behind, speechless as he watched the miniature version of his older brother clinging to his leg. He had initially wanted to cling to Ran's leg, but after being glared at by his future mother-in-law, he quickly grabbed his own.

"Tell me, are you that afraid of Aunt Eri?"

That said, Kudo Kazuma had actually heard his mother talk about Shinichi Kudo and Ran more than once before.

This also includes the time when her older brother would drag Ran on adventures when they were little, only to get a scolding or even a beating from Aunt Eri every time they came home...

Wow, is this the kind of domineering aura a mother-in-law exudes?

It's a pity I'm still pretending not to know that Conan is my older brother, otherwise I would definitely hold him down and make fun of him.

Conan couldn't explain those past events to his younger brother, so he could only play the victim.

"But, but that Aunt Eri is really scary..."

Seeing his older brother staring at him with those big, bright eyes, trying to look cute, Kudo Kazuma imagined what Kudo Shinichi would look like and almost kicked this leg accessory away...

Just then, Eri and Ran, who were walking ahead, stopped and looked at the advertising TV on the side of the road.

"This is Daddy's deduction from last time." Ran smiled at Eri. "I've been wanting Mommy to see it for a while now. What do you think? Isn't Daddy cool when he's deducing?"

Watching Kogoro Mouri's calm demeanor, composed attitude, and clear reasoning on television, Eri Kisaki's lips gradually curved into a gentle smile.

But before the smile could fully bloom, the television broadcast Kogoro Mouri's infuriating remarks over the phone.

"My wife? Never mind her, we're separated! How about we spend a passionate night together..."

Xiao Lan wished she could jump into the screen and cover her father's mouth.

Unfortunately, Eri Kisaki's emotional expression had completely returned to her aloof demeanor.

"I don't think it's time for me to go back yet."

She then looked at her daughter and said, "Xiaolan, you also need to be careful of that detective boy who's your childhood friend, understand? Try to see him as little as possible!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xiaolan quickly chased after her: "But Mom! Mom..."

Conan paused for a moment, then immediately let go of Kudo Kazuma and chased after him.

Only Kazuma Kudo shook his head as he watched Kogoro Mouri laughing heartily on TV: "Was this the last time he laughed before he died?"

After informing Tsugami Yuuki of the interview results, Kudo Kazuma went home and stayed home again.

After spending two days petting cats and bunnies, he finally received a message from Shuichi Akai.

"So, is there nowhere else we can meet besides here?"

On the rooftop of the Oni-Sakura Building, Kudo Kazuma was rather speechless.

Shuichi Akai raised an eyebrow: "There aren't many people I can trust."

"Aren't you afraid I'll have someone cordon off this place beforehand?" Kudo Kazuma held out his hand to Akai Shuichi. "Where's what I asked for?"

Shuichi Akai frowned: "What I want, you may not be able to give me."

"Isn't that obvious?" Kudo Kazuma slapped the mission data he got from Gin onto Akai Shuichi's chest. "Take a look for yourself."

While Akai Hideyoshi was looking at the documents, he kept muttering to himself.

"Miyano Akemi's mission plan doesn't start until tomorrow, so it's not appropriate for me to do anything right now."

"But there's something I'm confused about. Miyano Akemi should be at the Yotsubishi Bank right now. Why don't you just go and take her away? Why bother with all this trouble?"

Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment: "Gin is wary of me. There are quite a few people from the organization hiding around Akemi."

Kudo Kazuma pouted: "You're not even willing to take risks for Miyano Akemi, yet you have the nerve to say you'll take her away."

Shuichi Akai completely ignored the sarcastic remark and said seriously, "The Maple Leaf Coins are all sorted out. Give me a secure account and I'll transfer the money to you. I really don't have a mini camera, only a mini camera. Take it or leave it."

"Sure," Kudo Kazuma said, reaching out his hand without hesitation.

As he took the mini camera, he casually slipped a small note to Shuichi Akai: "Pay the money here."

"Don't try to pull a fast one, or I'll tell Miyano Akemi that you're on missions with a blonde woman every day in America, and that you two are very close, and that she's your ex-girlfriend who still can't get over you!"

Shuichi Akai was taken aback: "How did you know?"

He and Judy usually carry out secret missions together, which even Yusaku Kudo doesn't know about. How did this kid find out?

Could there be an organization's mole among the FBI's top brass?

"Wow! I was just saying it offhand, and it actually happened?" Kudo Kazuma waved his phone. "I wasn't sure before, but now I really know. I have to thank you."

"You recorded me!" Shuichi Akai rushed over to grab the phone, but Kazuma Kudo dodged it.

He immediately moved far away from Shuichi Akai and waved his phone again: "Remember to transfer the money as soon as possible."

Not long after leaving the Oni Sakura Building, humming a song, Kudo Kazuma received a message from Akai Shuichi—the money had been transferred.

After confirming the amount at the bank, he happily drove to the Dahei Building.

The bar on the top floor of the Big Black Building is a core stronghold of the organization. Unlike the base that serves as a place for eating, living, training, scientific research, and interrogation, it is just a bar, usually a place where codenamed members gather when they have nothing to do.

Before he went to the bank, he received a message from Vermouth telling him to go there and see some interesting things.

Although I don't know what Vermouth is up to, I have to go there anyway, given what she's going to do next.

As soon as Kudo Kazuma entered the bar, he saw Vermouth and Chianti standing on either side of a table in the corner, seemingly surrounding someone, with sobbing sounds coming from inside.

Although Cohen was standing at the bar, half of his body was sticking out. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of gossip.

Gin sat at another table, slowly drinking and looking at some documents, as steady as a mountain.

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Working under these conditions, he truly deserves to be called a model worker!

"Big brother, busy?" He greeted Gin with a grin, then greeted the others one by one. He saw Vermouth waving at him, while Chianti's eyes were bright and strange.

Anyway, they won't harm themselves.

Kazuma Kudo strode over, and then he heard Vodka crying.

"Waaaaah... Seven tasks... Waaaaah, Danpo is so mean... Even my older brother never gave me seven tasks at once! He gave me seven at once! I'm exhausted, waaaaah..."

Vermouth and Chianti weren't offering any comfort; their faces were practically beaming with amusement as they watched the drunken vodka and then at Kudo Kazuma...

Kudo Kazuma's expression changed as soon as he grasped the key words, and he immediately turned and pounced on Gin.

"Big brother! You never gave Vodka seven missions in one go? You gave me fourteen in one go! Are you even human, Gin?! You've gone too far! I'm about to cry!"

No, is he even less important to Gin than a vodka guy who can only drive?

Why?
