Kazuma Kudo originally intended to entrust all legal matters related to the company to Eri Kisaki.

Hiring Attorney Xun was just an excuse to complete a task.

It's not that unfamiliar people are untrustworthy, nor that other lawyers lack professional competence.

In the entire Detective Conan world, apart from Eri Kisaki who is certain to be safe, who knows if other lawyers might cooperate with a company one day and then be killed by someone the next?

Well, it's also possible that he could become a murderer like Attorney Xun, and then be sent to prison by the Grim Reaper.

No matter how you look at it, apart from Eri Kisaki, no one else is safe.

After being given a heads-up, he doesn't need to worry about company matters for the time being.

Because of his previous hospitalization and the fact that he had completed both missions well, Gin hadn't given him any missions in the past few days.

Kudo Kazuma has been having a really leisurely time these past few days.

On this day, he took some time to visit Base 2 and subtly learned from the research team that Vodka had had the DNA of four people tested a few days earlier.

It was indeed Shinichi Kudo, Kaito Kuroba, Souji Okita, and Heiji Hattori who aroused Gin's suspicion.

It seems that Vodka, that idiot, did manage to get Hattori Heiji's blood sample after all.

After the DNA comparison, Gin's suspicions were probably completely dispelled.

Even so, Kazuma Kudo couldn't help but wonder if Gin would be depressed to death if he saw other Shinichi Kudos with the same face in the future.

For example, there's Hakuba Saguru, who looks like both Kaito Kuroba and inexplicably like a male version of Sherry...

But that's a matter for the future; he's too lazy to worry about it now.

Gin's doubts have been dispelled. If you and Mom want to come back for a visit, you can prepare anytime.

After sending a message to Yusaku Kudo, Kazuma Kudo drove back home.

Since he has no duties to perform, he can continue to rest.

As he passed the Metropolitan Police Department, he only glanced at it once and almost drove his car onto the department's gate.

WTF?

How could he not know that his unlucky friend could also perform acrobatics?

Seeing Conan kicking the soccer ball in such a flashy and acrobatic way that it was more like an acrobatic performance, Kudo Kazuma's eyes widened in disbelief—wait, is this how you play soccer?

He couldn't help but pull over and ask his question.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

"We're waiting for Uncle to come out." Conan juggled the soccer ball a couple of times. "There's been a little problem."

"How to say?"

"My uncle was hired to follow someone for three days..."

"and then?"

Isn't this the kind of work that Kogoro Mouri excels at?

"That man is dead."

"Did you bring him to his death?"

How normal.

According to the laws of science, anyone who suddenly takes the initiative to contact Kogoro Mouri, even if they had no prior connection with him, is either the murderer or the victim.

If he's the murderer, he'll use Kogoro Mouri as an alibi; if he's the victim, he'll say he was taken away by Conan, the Grim Reaper.

Is this weird?

Conan jumped up in anger: "What does this have to do with me? I just glanced at it out of curiosity!"

"Besides, the idea of ​​'dying under the influence of a curse' doesn't sound scientific at all! The deceased was clearly murdered!"

Kudo Kazuma gasped.

"Uncle Mori followed you for three days and nothing happened, but you died after just one glance, and you still say it wasn't you who caused his death? Isn't that just like Detective Conan?"

Conan was so angry at his bratty younger brother's nonsense that he wanted to activate a foot massager and kick him.

Xiao Lan couldn't stand it anymore and offered an explanation.

The real problem was that Kogoro Mouri had been following a man named Masaki Negishi for three days. However, on the third day of his pursuit, Masaki Negishi's body was found on the high platform of the Red Demon Village Fire Festival in Gunma Prefecture!

Hey!

Kudo Kazuma was filled with awe.

Now you're even more knowledgeable than Ke Xue, aren't you?

Seeing Conan's look that seemed to want to kick him, Kudo Kazuma reluctantly suppressed his mocking expression towards the Grim Reaper and used his imagination to think about it for a moment.

“The one the uncle was following, and the one who got killed, one of them definitely wasn’t that tree guy. I’m saying…” He put one hand in his pocket and rested his chin on his hand thoughtfully, “Could it be… that person had a twin brother?”

"We've encountered a case involving twin brothers before, haven't we?"

Ran was slightly taken aback when she saw Kazuma Kudo's actions.

She hadn't noticed before, but now it seems that Kazuma's gesture is really similar to Shinichi's...

"Ah!" Conan suddenly shouted as if struck by lightning.

He grabbed Kudo Kazuma's sleeve, his face serious and earnest: "What you said makes a lot of sense! I'll go tell Uncle Kogoro right now!"

Kazuma Kudo looked down at the hem of his clothes and said speechlessly, "Then hurry up and go. I'm just passing by. I have things to do at the company..."

Conan nodded upon hearing this, then left Ran behind and ran into the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kudo Kazuma also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Ran and leave.

What a joke! The corpse's spirit is in Gunma Prefecture. There's only one case here that requires some brainpower, so he doesn't want to waste his time staying here.

Isn't it better to stay home and play on your phone?

……

Sometimes, playing on your phone isn't so enjoyable...

Especially when I saw two messages on my phone in the afternoon.

One of the messages was from Yusaku Kudo, telling him that his parents in this world would be landing at Tokyo New International Airport around 9 p.m. and that he could come pick them up.

The other message came from Gin just as Kudo Kazuma was about to reply "I'm busy".

There's an assassination mission tonight. The target is arriving at Tokyo New International Airport at 9 PM. The mission is assigned to him.

Kazuma Kudo was speechless.

He suspected that Gin and Yusaku Kudo were in cahoots...

On the way to the airport in Gin's Porsche 356A, Gin handed the mission information to Kudo Kazuma.

According to the information, the target is very strong in combat and quite difficult to deal with, which is why the task was assigned to Kazuma Kudo.

The organization has an accomplice on the same plane who can lure the other party to the airport's public restroom, where Kazuma Kudo can then make his move.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Kazuma Kudo suggested that everyone go and check out the area near the public restroom.

Of course, the main point is to give Gin and Vodka something to do too—why should he be the only one who needs to do a mission when the other two come to the airport?

What's even more frustrating is that after finishing the task, I still have to pick up my parents...

On their way to the public restroom, the three of them suddenly heard an emergency announcement from the airport.

"Mr. Yutaka Abe, who is scheduled to take Seattle Flight 99, a friend of yours named Masaki Negishi is waiting for you in the parking lot..."

Kazuma Kudo raised an eyebrow.

What kind of tree is this? Isn't it the one that Ke Xue killed?

Judging from this situation, it's probably my unlucky brother causing trouble...

My gossipy nature is stirring.

Kudo Kazuma suddenly stopped walking: "I can't take it anymore, I suddenly feel unwell~ I'm so tired~ Big brother, I'll leave the reconnaissance to you and Vodka, I'll take care of the target as soon as he lands~"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Gin guessed he was just slacking off, snorted, and took Vodka to scout the location.

Meanwhile, Kudo Kazuma returned to the parking lot...

hiss--

Conan was sitting in Gin's beloved Porsche 356A, talking to a tall man in a khaki coat...

What an extraordinary coincidence!
