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

In the coffee shop, Kazuma Kudo slowly sipped his coffee.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki sat opposite him, whispering to each other.

Although Sonoko Suzuki sincerely praised Kazuma Kudo, saying from the bottom of her heart that he was much more handsome than Shinichi Kudo.

In reality, she mostly disliked this face that looked exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

When Ran Mouri sees Kazuma Kudo's face, she is reminded of Shinichi Kudo, who hasn't returned for many days, and her mind wanders.

As a result, after the necessary pleasantries, neither of them knew what to say to Kudo Kazuma, so they just left him aside.

Kudo Kazuma didn't care.

His goal was simply to get acquainted with the Mori family so he could easily get some of the unlucky guy's spirit souls, and to get to know Sonoko Suzuki so he could have connections with the Suzuki Group in the future.

But Sonoko Suzuki is, after all, Sonoko Suzuki.

If it were another handsome guy in front of her, she might be a little more reserved.

But with Kudo Kazuma's face, what's the difference between him sitting across from Shinichi Kudo?

Sonoko Suzuki quickly got used to and ignored Kazuma Kudo's presence, and her voice became increasingly unrestrained.

"...It's that Minagawa Katsuhiko I met here last time, don't you think he's really handsome?"

"Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and with chocolates made by the dignified young lady Sonoko herself, winning over this handsome guy will be no problem at all!"

Kudo Kazuma silently rolled his eyes.

Although he didn't know who the person was, he knew that the fist thrown by the dignified young master of kicking could easily take down that person.

Sonoko Suzuki got more and more excited as she talked, almost praising Katsuhiko Minagawa to the skies.

Having achieved his goal, Kudo Kazuma politely declined to leave first.

Sonoko Suzuki probably subconsciously mistook him for Shinichi Kudo, and naturally pulled Ran Mouri along as they walked out together.

As she walked, she didn't forget to continue gossiping.

“And then there’s Wakamatsu.” Sonoko Suzuki nudged Ran Mouri with her elbow, winked at her, and said with a deliberately amused smile, “Don’t you think he’s a good match for you?”

Ran Mouri, who had been pulled out by Sonoko Suzuki, was thinking about the chocolate when she heard this and looked blankly at the question: "Huh?"

"What?" Sonoko Suzuki hugged Ran Mouri's arm. "He seems to have feelings for you."

Kudo Kazuma, who was standing to the side speechless, cleared his throat and said to Mouri Ran, "Miss Mouri, this is just a token of my appreciation today. I will formally visit you tomorrow to express my gratitude."

"Please continue your conversation, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Once Kudo Kazuma was out of sight, the petrified Suzuki Sonoko awkwardly spoke up: "Uh, I forgot, he's not Shinichi..."

She suddenly buried her face in her hands: "Aaaaaah, this is so embarrassing! It's all your jerk detective's fault!"

Kudo Kazuma, who was away from the two, discovered the Grim Reaper elementary school student hiding behind a telephone pole. As he looked down at his unlucky older brother, he agreed with Suzuki Sonoko's words in his heart.

That's right, it's all Shinichi Kudo's fault.

Conan was slacking off and avoiding the Junior Detective League's flyer-giving activity when he saw Kazuma Kudo approaching, and his first instinct was to stay away from him.

But the thought that his younger brother didn't know his true identity made him stop after taking two steps back.

Seeing the unlucky guy's reaction, Kudo Kazuma didn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation: "Little brother, I'm here to thank you."

"No need, no need." Conan took another step back, waving his hands repeatedly and saying with a dry laugh, "It's nothing."

He was terrified that his little brother would fall flat on his face again because he was too close to him, but he couldn't tell his little brother the truth directly. He was so conflicted.

Kudo Kazuma pretended not to know anything, and even moved closer to Conan, relying on the fact that he had absorbed enough spiritual energy, resting his chin on his hand and looking down at the little guy in front of him.

"Little brother, you seem... a little afraid of me? Why is that? And you look kind of familiar..."

Conan was startled when he noticed the scrutinizing look in Kazuma Kudo's eyes.

[No way? Has Kazuma figured something out?]

No way! That must be a powerful criminal organization! He's been sickly since childhood; how can we involve him?

He quickly moved closer to Kudo Kazuma, flashed a big smile, and said in a cute voice, "Why would I be afraid of...big brother? Besides, we both have the surname Edogawa, this is our destiny..."

As he was talking, he turned his head and saw a muscular man talking to Ran Mouri in the direction that Kazuma Kudo had come from. He immediately forgot about his act.

"Big brother, Sister Xiaolan is calling me, I have to go now, bye-bye~~"

She called you a damn thing!

Kudo Kazuma rolled his eyes at his unlucky brother who had taken the opportunity to escape, then turned and walked towards Beika-cho 4-chome.

The new house is a two-story detached house.

According to Kudo Kazuma's wishes, the living room was directly arranged as a reception room, and the Japanese-style room left by the previous owner was directly converted into a cat room, so that Kagemitsu could live here later, saving him a lot of inconvenience at the company.

Kazuma Kudo went to the study to take a look. Looking out the window, he could see the Mouri Detective Agency diagonally behind him.

It's not exactly close, but it's not far either.

Kudo Kazuma slept there that night, and the next morning, he specially brought two bottles of wine to the Mouri Detective Agency to express his gratitude.

Kogoro Mouri seemed to be heavily intoxicated last night and was still not sober this morning, looking completely dazed.

Kudo Kazuma didn't mind, and made an appointment to visit again next time before leaving.

To his surprise, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Sonoko, the young lady, who had just been brought over by her own driver.

"So you finally remembered to look for Xiaolan?"

After giving Kudo Kazuma a disdainful look, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized, "Wait, aren't you Edogawa-kun?"

After receiving confirmation from Kazuma Kudo, Sonoko immediately looked at him with disdain: "So that guy didn't even think to come back to see Ran on Valentine's Day."

After expressing her disdain for Shinichi Kudo, Sonoko Suzuki then extended a warm invitation to Kazuma Kudo to attend their Valentine's Day party. It's hard to say what she was thinking at that moment.

Since he would receive spirit souls anyway, Kudo Kazuma didn't care about these things.

When Toshihide Wakamatsu, who came to pick him up, learned that Kazuma Kudo was not Ran Mouri's boyfriend, he readily agreed on behalf of the others to let him attend the party.

So not long after, the group appeared together at Minagawa Katsuhiko's house.

During the introductions at the start of the party, Kazuma Kudo simply stated his name, while the host, Katsuhiko Minagawa, waved to everyone.

"I am Katsuhiko Minagawa, the president of the tennis club at Beika Medical School. It's nice to meet you all."

Great, the president of the university tennis club is also the president.

Kudo Kazuma glanced discreetly at his unlucky older brother hiding outside, then looked at the lucky president.

Although he couldn't remember the plot clearly after so many years, judging from the mortality rate of club presidents in the Detective Conan world...

Death has come; he is the one who will die today.
