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

Kazuma Kudo ruffled Conan's hair and pointed to the newspaper office entrance diagonally across the street.

Conan immediately understood: "It's him!"

The two brothers chased after him together. Kudo Kazuma grabbed the man's arm and twisted it behind his back, while covering the man's mouth with his other hand before he could shout.

The man winced in pain, and the shopping bag he was carrying fell to the ground with a clatter.

Upon seeing this, Conan immediately sprinted into the police station next door on his short legs.

A moment later, two police officers followed Conan out of the police station.

"Where? Where are the counterfeiters?"

One of the officers came out and immediately started asking questions in a loud and boisterous manner.

Conan pointed to the man still being restrained by Kazuma Kudo: "Him!"

The two officers glanced at the man, then looked at each other, and the one who was making a big fuss burst out laughing.

The other one is slightly better.

He first waved his hand, ordering Kudo Kazuma to release the man, then squatted down and said to Conan, "Little brother, this man is an employee of the newspaper next door. We see him often. How could he possibly be a counterfeiter?"

Conan frowned, his face serious: "How can you be sure it's not him? Didn't you notice there was a lot of special paint in his shopping bag? Maybe their hideout is right here in this newspaper office. Shouldn't you check it out?"

"What are you investigating? Are you going to find a bunch of newspapers and magazines? Are you kidding me? Who's ever seen counterfeiters making money right next to a police station? Don't be ridiculous, little brother."

"How can you say someone's acting like this? We're the Junior Detective Club!" Genta suddenly jumped out from the corner. "We all saw this person use counterfeit money!"

"Exactly! They even kidnapped Junya's brother! All for the sake of drawing Natsume Soseki!"

"We've found a lead, shouldn't the police investigate it?"

"Hmph! If they won't go, we will!"

Suddenly, a group of children who were supposed to have left all appeared...

Conan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He promised to send them back, but no one listens to him!

Kudo Kazuma didn't say anything—he had long suspected that the children were still following them, but he just didn't say anything.

If Ai Haibara doesn't come along, how will she be able to start her little skit to scare Conan later?

"What nonsense are you kids spouting?" The loud and boisterous police officer's face turned red with anger. "And you, as an ordinary citizen, it's wrong to detain other ordinary citizens without authorization. Release them right now!"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't be bothered with the two of them.

He shoved the man to the ground, pressed his knee against the man's neck so that he couldn't struggle or make a sound, and then took out his phone to call Inspector Megure.

A short while later, Inspector Megure arrived with his subordinates.

"Brother Edogawa, I heard you've tracked down the counterfeiters!"

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "It's just a suspicion for now."

"However, we have both witnesses and physical evidence, and we even saw this person using counterfeit money, so it's highly likely. The inspector can also interrogate this person..."

Inspector Megure placed great trust in his younger brother Edogawa, who could help him solve cases, and the children of the Junior Detective League.

Besides, the person is right here, so arranging an interrogation wouldn't be difficult.

The man, who had been acting very self-righteously because of the attitude of the police officers from the Otsuma Police Station, even tried to struggle when Kudo Kazuma held him down.

But now that he saw the Metropolitan Police Department officers arrive, and even the two officers who had spoken up for him were being questioned, the man finally gave up struggling and confessed everything.

“Brother Edogawa was right after all!” Inspector Megure waved his hand. “Since there aren’t many of them, be quiet and go upstairs to arrest them!”

By this time, the man had been handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department officers and put on a silver bracelet. With nothing else to do, Kudo Kazuma decided to follow him and take a look.

Conan also took the opportunity to sneak in, and even reminded Inspector Megure, "Be careful, those people might have guns!"

Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but glare at him.

The unlucky guy still thinks these people are part of an organization—so even knowing they might be members and have guns, he still rushes in headfirst. Looks like Xiaolan isn't keeping a close enough eye on him…

Yes, it definitely needs a good talking-to.

Seven or eight police officers, including Kudo Kazuma, and six little followers, all sneaked into the Otsuma newspaper office.

Soon, all members of the counterfeit money organization were arrested, and Junye's brother was also rescued.

"Hey! Now you can confess everything!" Conan stormed up to the woman in black. "Where is your hideout? Where are your accomplices?"

"Gin, Vodka, Tempura, Vermouth, Rum! Where are they?! And what's your codename?!"

"Huh? What codename?" Inspector Megure looked completely bewildered. "Conan, what are you talking about? This guy is Silver Fox, a habitual counterfeiter. I didn't expect him to end up here this time!"

He glanced at Conan with some suspicion.

Was that child just reciting the names of alcoholic beverages?

Kudo Kazuma was speechless, and exchanged a glance with Haibara Ai, who also had crescent-shaped eyes.

[I knew it! My props were all prepared!]

[Heh, you're really willing to screw over your brother.]

Ai Haibara suddenly realized that Tanpo was not only willing to betray his own brother, but also Gin, who supposedly raised him for ten years and mentored him for eight...

So, in Danpo, Shinichi Kudo and Gin are treated the same?

I wonder how Shinichi Kudo would feel if he knew all this?

How interesting…

The counterfeit money case was solved, and Jun-ye's brother had to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement, so Jun-ye went with his brother.

The three children were taken home by officers arranged by Inspector Megure.

Kudo Kazuma went to the convenience store to get his car, and Conan naturally went with him.

Ai Haibara, who had been quietly following behind the group and had little presence, naturally caught up with the two brothers who wrote "Edogawa" but read "Kudo".

After walking through the alley near the convenience store, Kazuma Kudo said, "I'll start the car first, and you guys follow slowly."

you?

Conan was taken aback and turned around to find that the little girl, Ai Haibara, who had just transferred to the school that day, was following behind him.

"Um, you..."

“APTX-4869,” Ai Haibara said coldly. “The name of the drug you were forced to take.”

Conan's expression changed slightly: "What are you talking about? I didn't take any medicine..."

Ignoring Conan's questioning, Ai Haibara continued reciting her script with a cold, villainous face cultivated with Danpo's help: "Is that so? But I can't be wrong, that was a drug I personally formulated and researched under the organization's orders..."

"A...organization?" Conan's eyes widened instantly. "How could a little kid like you...?"

“Because I also took that drug~” Ai Haibara said lightly, “so that I could find you, the only case where someone went missing after taking the drug.”

"You're quite worthy of study. Come be my test subject, Shinichi Kudo!"

Conan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He subconsciously looked in the direction where Kudo Kazuma had left.

Ichijin hasn't arrived yet...

Although disappointed, I felt a strange sense of relief. At least... at least this brat wouldn't be implicated because of me...

Ai Haibara observed Conan's expression, flicked her hair, and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you looking for someone from the organization? I might as well tell you, my code name is Sherry."

She gave a cold laugh: "Come on, Gin wants to see you."

Conan's expression changed drastically.

What is she talking about!
