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

Behind the partition curtain, Kudo Kazuma, like Conan before him, had his upper body bound and lay on his side on the ground as if he had been abandoned.

He looked pale, with blood on his lips and a wound on his collarbone that was slowly bleeding.

Seeing Kudo Kazuma like this, Conan felt a lump in his throat, and his brain raced.

How to do?

What can he do to rescue Ichijin as well?

While Conan was in a state of confusion, Kazuma Kudo had already started memorizing his lines.

"Who are you?"

Yukiko Kudo chuckled coldly, turned her back to the wardrobe, and began another long speech with a dramatic tone and a blank expression.

"Edogawa Kazuma has the same appearance as high school detective Kudo Shinichi. He appeared next to Mouri Kogoro five days after Kudo Shinichi took that drug and his body disappeared."

"Before this, there was no trace of you in Tokyo or even Japan."

"Afterwards, you participated in many cases involving Kogoro Mouri, and your speed in solving these cases surpassed even the rising star Kogoro Mouri..."

Kazuma Kudo curled the corners of his lips into a pale, weak smile: "So, you suspect I'm Shinichi Kudo?"

"Unfortunately, you guessed right."

Conan, who was hiding in the closet, unconsciously opened his mouth wide.

What nonsense is Yizhen spouting?

Yusaku Kudo raised the replica gun in his hand: "Whether it's Shinichi Kudo or not, we'll know once Danpo comes back and we compare them."

Conan, who was inside the closet, was surprised that the other party had pulled out a gun before he could even say two words. In a moment of excitement, he pushed open the closet door and aimed at Yusaku Kudo, who was wearing a cloak and a mask, intending to give him a tranquilizer injection.

To everyone's surprise, the buttons on the anesthesia watch were completely unresponsive!

"Heh..." Kudo Yusaku calmly fired a shot at the big guy before turning around and pointing the dark muzzle of his gun at Conan's forehead.

"That little gadget is ruined. Little mouse, if you had stayed put in the closet, you might have survived a little longer..."

Conan glanced at Kudo Kazuma, who was tightly bound, and then at the large man who had been shot and whose body was bleeding profusely. His heart sank, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He clenched his fists tightly, but couldn't suppress the chill that kept creeping up his spine.

He clearly... he clearly came to save people...

Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out.

Kudo Kazuma, who was lying on his side, had somehow broken free of the ropes binding him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the others were not paying attention to him, he leaped up from the ground, grabbed the "Edogawa Fumiyo" that Kudo Yukiko was disguised as, and put his right hand directly into her throat.

"That brat is just someone I found at a relative's house to cover up the truth. If you don't want anything to happen to this woman, let that brat go."

Conan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he held back.

He came here to save people, but now he's being protected by his younger brother and has to figure out how not to make things harder for him. It's really...

What a mess...

“Rum, let that brat go…” Yukiko Kudo said with great difficulty, “We can always catch him again…”

While secretly lamenting that his older brother should hone his acting skills under their mother's guidance, Kudo Kazuma pretended to tighten his grip again, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! Let them go!"

Yusaku Kudo slowly lowered the gun that had been pointing at Conan...

Suddenly turning around, he shot Kudo Kazuma in the chest.

Seeing Kudo Kazuma collapse helplessly, Conan's mind went completely blank...

"Ichima!"

He wanted to rush over to see what was wrong with Kazuma Kudo, but Yusaku Kudo grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

"You...you're such a jerk..." Kudo Kazuma feigned extreme weakness, staring intently at Conan, adding his own dramatic flair with each breath, "You made me guess for so long...If only, if only you had told me sooner, I could have...protected you..."

After adding his own scene, Kazuma Kudo peacefully closed his eyes, but Conan was stunned on the spot, filled with regret and anger.

Looking at his youngest son, who added drama to his life at a crucial moment, and then at his eldest son, who was deeply affected and looked like a miniature version of himself, Yusaku Kudo could barely contain his laughter under his mask, but he still forced himself to deliver his lines.

"Ridiculous, he didn't even know to hide his body behind Vermouth."

"However, thanks to him, I've finally confirmed your identity—Shinichi Kudo!"

Conan's heart suddenly stopped, and after a long while, he began to breathe shakily, clinging to Yusaku Kudo's hand.

He originally thought that as long as he concealed his identity, he could quietly use Uncle Mori's detective identity to investigate this black-clad organization.

If he can find a clue, he can find the antidote to that drug and return to his original form.

Only now does he truly understand how dark and ruthless this organization is.

If they want to hold onto him, they don't need any reason, and they don't care about anyone's life...

If, if there's still a chance...

"Heh! I'm not that research madman Danpo..." Rum, who was holding Conan, slowly said, "A rat that knows the organization's secrets is better off dead."

A gun was pressed against the back of Conan's head: "Don't worry, soon all those who know 'Edogawa Conan' will be going down to join you."

The trigger was pulled with a "whoosh".

A large stream of water poured down on Conan's head, soaking him to the bone...

Looking down at the water droplets sliding down his hair, Conan was somewhat stunned.

What's happening here?

The organization still wants to put him on the testing platform, so they don't plan to kill him?

For a moment, Conan's brain was completely blank.

It wasn't until he heard the familiar phrase, "Oh no, Shin-chan, Shin-chan's really been knocked silly," that he suddenly snapped back to reality and started frantically thrashing about in Yusaku Kudo's hands.

"Let me go! Put me down!"

After jumping off Yusaku Kudo's hand, Conan, his eyes red, turned around and glared angrily at the four people lined up behind him.

"You...you're playing me?"

Don't think he didn't hear it; the person who just spoke was clearly his mother, Yukiko Kudo!

And isn't this brat little brother perfectly healthy and lively?

The lively and energetic Kazuma Kudo expertly reached out and ruffled Conan's hair, saying with a half-smile, "There's an old saying that children are just for fun..."

Conan jumped up in annoyance and kicked his brat in the knee: "What the hell is that got to do with you!"

Kudo Kazuma dodged his miniature older brother's short legs and said with a grin, "I couldn't refuse. My beautiful, gentle, lovely, and generous mother personally invited me to come and play."

Conan snorted and glared angrily at them one by one.

"So this plump woman is Mom?"

“Yes, that’s right~” Yukiko Kudo lifted the human skin mask off her face and removed the disguise from her body as she spoke, “It’s me, the female celebrity who can bewitch men all over the world and won a major award at the age of 19 before retiring at the height of her career—Yukiko Kudo.”

Conan's annoyed gaze fell on Yusaku Kudo again.

Yusaku Kudo took off his mask and winked at him: "Shinichi, you can't blame your father for this. I wrote about the Dark Baron in my new book, and I was just pretending to be him. You were just too careless."

Before Conan could do anything else, Professor Agasa emerged from the tall, lifelike doll with a grin.

Looking at the four smiling people standing in a row, Conan huffed angrily, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way!" he asked through gritted teeth, "Who hit me in the car earlier?"

The smiles on their faces froze, and they all looked at the innocent-looking Kudo Kazuma...
