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

The ambulance came quickly.

Conan hurriedly led the doctors carrying the stretcher upstairs.

Narumi Rabbit nestled on the sofa, somewhat conflicted: "If I weren't the way I am now, I would have noticed something was wrong with Edogawa-kun much earlier."

“Asou, you don’t need to blame yourself,” Jingguang said. “I heard from Dan… Edogawa’s assistant that his health fluctuates, and he himself can’t explain it.”

Narumi Rabbit nodded and said nothing more.

Kogoro Mouri and Ran went to the hospital in the ambulance, but Conan stayed behind under the pretext of looking after his cats and rabbits.

Jingguang Cat didn't care about any of that. Instead, she circled the house and, sure enough, spotted a familiar Porsche 356A at a nearby corner.

Gin is really worried about Danpo.

It seems that he made those two urgent phone calls, and when no one answered, he guessed that Danpo was in trouble.

Taking advantage of Gin's ignorance of her identity, Jingguang Cat simply jumped onto the hood of the Porsche, openly listening to what Gin and Vodka were saying.

"Um... Brother, they've already taken Danpo to the hospital, should we still care? Should we go to the hospital to check on him?"

"No need." Gin stubbed out his cigarette. "Send a message to Danpo, let's go."

Having heard no useful information, Jingguang Cat flicked its tail and jumped off the hood.

……

With Conan not around, Kazuma Kudo woke up quickly, and even the uncomfortable feeling disappeared as if it had never happened.

After realizing he was in the hospital, he thanked Kogoro Mouri and Ran repeatedly.

"No need to thank us," Kogoro Mouri said. "It was Kei who notified us, and Conan was the first to react, which allowed us to bring you here in time."

He scratched his head in confusion: "But the doctors were very nervous when they were at your house. After you came to the hospital and they examined you again, they said that you were perfectly healthy and there was no problem at all."

"If it weren't for the blood on your clothes, I would have thought I was dreaming."

Kazuma Kudo couldn't explain to them why staying away from Conan was the safest option.

Since everything is alright, there's no need to stay in the hospital any longer.

After paying the fee, Kudo Kazuma called home to let his family know he was safe and sound, and naturally discovered the vodka information on his phone.

"I have some business to attend to at the company. Here are my house keys. Could you please lock the door for me after you pick up Conan?"

Anyway, everything that's really related to the organization is in the system space, so he's not worried about Conan rummaging through the house. Let them do what they want.

After entrusting his home to the father and daughter, Kudo Kazuma took a taxi to Base 2.

Gin and vodka are waiting here.

When Kudo Kazuma entered, Gin looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was alright, handed him a thin document.

"Sniper mission, tonight."

"Where are Chianti and Cohen?" Kudo Kazuma took the data, glanced at it, and couldn't help but complain, "They could have done this mission too, why did they give it to me..."

So those two only take action when they're attacking their own people?

"Enough with the nonsense!" Gin snorted. "Once you're feeling better, go do the mission."

"You could have just sent me a message. Didn't you send me a message before? You made me come all this way..."

Kudo Kazuma grumbled as he folded up the mission documents: "If someone has to come to the base, are you going to reimburse them for the taxi fare?"

Gin gave him a cold look: "Finish that mission as soon as possible. I'll double the reward for both missions. Now get lost!"

"You should have said you'd pay more earlier!" Kudo Kazuma's mood improved considerably. "I'll be going now, bye-bye, big brother!"

That night, he first completed the sniping mission and incidentally gained +1 Soul Essence.

The next afternoon, he made a special trip to his home and invited Conan and Ran to accompany him to the vet to pick up Akemi the cat.

Conan initially didn't want to go because of his younger brother's health, but he couldn't bear to leave Ran alone with his brother, so he had no choice but to go along.

After the three of them took the kitten home and worked together to set up the cat room, they called Kogoro Mouri and went out for dinner at a nice restaurant nearby.

Since the restaurants were not far apart, the four of them walked there, and on the way back, they naturally took a stroll, chatted, and had a meal.

Kogoro Mouri remarked with some emotion, "It seems like we've been eating out quite often lately."

Xiaolan said shyly, "Yizhen is too kind. He's been treating us almost every time lately..."

Kudo Kazuma smiled and shook his head: "Wasn't this specifically to thank you for taking me to the hospital?"

Conan then took her hand and said, "That restaurant is really delicious, isn't it, Ran-neechan?"

My little brother is treating, what's there to be embarrassed about?

After saying that, he turned his head and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, we're at John's house. I wonder what John is doing now?"

Ran smiled and said, "I know their family. Shinichi used to come here often to play with their dog."

Kogoro Mouri stared at the name on the doorplate: "Masayoshi Sakaguchi? That name sounds familiar..."

"You heard it from Aunt Eri, right?" Kudo Kazuma rubbed his nose and smiled. "She's a lawyer who specializes in youth issues. I heard about it from a colleague."

Kogoro Mouri coughed awkwardly twice: "That woman isn't in charge of this kind of thing, who knows if I heard it from her?"

Ran first complained about Kogoro Mouri, then said, "I remember when I was in third grade, a middle school student in their family committed suicide... right?"

Just as Conan was about to say something, a melodious scream rang out through the night sky, coming from the Sakaguchi Masayoshi residence.

The group exchanged glances and immediately began knocking on the door.

Kogoro Mouri asked anxiously, "What happened?"

A young woman opened the door and ran out in a panic, accidentally falling to the ground.

Xiao Lan quickly went over to help her up: "What's wrong?"

The young woman said in disbelief, "The dog...that dog..."

Conan quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with John?"

Kudo Kazuma gasped.

Goodness, the first thing he asks is the dog. My brother and John are really close.

"It...it killed someone..." the young woman said in a panic. "It pounced on Xiaogang..."

Conan led the charge, and the four of them quickly ran into the room, only to freeze in shock.

A young man lay motionless at the corner of the stairs, his eyes wide with terror.

At the very top of the stairs stood a fierce-looking dog, none other than John, whom Kudo Kazuma had seen a few days earlier.

Conan looked at John and said incredulously, "It's me, John. Do you still recognize me?"

John suddenly moved, lunging at Conan like a gust of wind...

He licked his face repeatedly.

"Haha, stop licking, it tickles, John~"

Watching the miniature version of his older brother embracing the dog's neck and laughing heartily, Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but sigh: These two really have a deep bond between human and dog...
