Model worker and his little darling

Tsk, he must know him very well.

"I've never seen them, I've only heard of them. They're all codenamed members. Right now, I'm just an ordinary member, so I have no chance to meet them at all."

Conan said with some regret, "I see. But this organization is quite interesting. The members are all names of alcoholic beverages, just like a distillery. I wonder who founded it."

Pingqing thought of the old man he had just met. "Tch, just a frivolous old man." But he still agreed with Conan, "Indeed."

"Brother Pingqing, do you know any other codenamed members?"

“I’ve met one. He was a dark-skinned, blond man. I heard his name was Bourbon.”

Sorry, Touko-kun, you've been targeted by Death.

Conan instantly recalled the dark-skinned man he had seen at the Supernova. He was an actor, and Ran quite liked him. He never expected that the man was actually a member of the organization. Great! He had learned about another member of the organization.

"Have you ever seen a man with long black hair and wearing a knitted hat?"

"No."

As for Shuichi Akai, he didn't know what Ai Haibara had told Conan, so he wouldn't say anything more. Otherwise, the identity he had just established would be ruined.

"No? I feel like that person looks familiar."

Seeing Conan deep in thought, Hirai's eyes flashed. Come to think of it, Conan had only met Akai Shuichi twice, one of which was at night. Was he already familiar with him?

"Brother Pingqing..."

Upon hearing Conan's description, Hirai raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this the face he had once disguised?

I'm standing right in front of you. Do you see how much I resemble my former self?

"Conan, you overestimate me. Anyone who can work with Gin is definitely not an ordinary person. How could I possibly know them? Besides, there are so many people in the organization, it's impossible for me to know them all."

Seeing that Conan had asked enough questions, Taira no Kiyoshi changed his tone.

"Conan, Ran, what are you going to do? I remember you took a bath with her once, and after you shrunk, you took advantage of Ran quite a bit, didn't you?"

Hearing Pingqing's teasing, Conan's face instantly turned red. "I...I didn't mean it, Pingqing-nii-san, don't talk nonsense."

As he spoke, Conan lowered his head. "I know Ran has been worried about me, but I don't dare tell her these things. I'm afraid I can't protect her, and I don't want her to be exposed to this darkness, after all, Ran is a simple girl."

"Have you ever considered that Ran already knew you were Shinichi Kudo?"

"Xiao Lan did suspect me, and I thought about telling her the truth many times, but I... was afraid she would beat me to death."

"Hahaha..." Pingqing couldn't help but laugh. So Conan was afraid of Ran's karate.

Seeing Pingqing laughing so hard he almost fell over, Conan grabbed Pingqing's clothes. "Pingqing-nii-san, what should I do?"

After laughing enough, Ping Qing slowly took a sip of water. Trying to get advice from him was not so easy. "I think Uncle also knows your identity."

Conan sighed, "Uncle does know my identity, but neither of us has revealed it."

Wow, this family is really fun. Everyone knows each other's identities, but no one says anything. They just play around.

"Hey, Pingqing-gege, why did you suddenly bring up Uncle? Weren't we talking about Xiaolan?"

Ping Qing crossed his legs. "Speaking of Xiao Lan, I feel quite sorry for her. She's been deceived by you all this time. Last time, she cried her eyes out in front of me, and it melted my heart. When I carried her into the car, she was trembling all over. Sigh, last time Uncle even said he wanted Xiao Lan to marry me."

Upon hearing Pingqing's words, a long-forgotten memory suddenly overwhelmed Conan, making him instantly jealous and causing him to pounce on Pingqing's lap.

"Brother Pingqing, you already have a girlfriend, so you're not allowed to have designs on Xiaolan. We saw those ambiguous marks on you last time, you two must have already slept together. By the way, how's your relationship going?"

Seeing that Conan was clearly anxious but still had the mood to gossip, Hirakiyo picked up Conan and threw him aside, deciding to give him another jolt.

Thinking of Gin, Ping Qing smiled slightly, "We have a great relationship. We've hugged, kissed, and slept together. How about it, are you envious?"

Seeing that Pingqing's expression had softened considerably, Conan understood that their relationship was truly wonderful, and he felt a little envious, wondering when he could be like that with Ran.

"However, even if you wanted to, there's nothing you could do now. Oh dear, it's so pitiful to have shrunk like this. I wonder if it will affect your sex life."

After saying that, he looked Conan up and down, and when he saw a certain spot, Hiraikichi laughed.

Conan sat to one side with his arms crossed, glaring angrily at Hirai. "That guy is so shameless!" he thought. As he fumed, Conan remembered Hirai's words. "Won't he really become impotent? What will I do then?"

Seeing Conan's expression change, Hirai suppressed a laugh; he wanted to enjoy the spectacle a little longer.

After a while, Conan scratched his head and said, "Ahhh, what should I do?"

“You and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts, and your relationship is the envy of many. I think you should talk to Xiaolan and make things clear. Xiaolan has been waiting for you to explain to her in person. It’s different if you take the initiative to tell her than if she forces you to.”

Conan lowered his head. "I...I don't want Ran to touch the darkness I'm in."

“I think you underestimate Xiaolan. Haven’t Xiaolan seen enough of those cruel murder methods and bloody crime scenes growing up? But she is still strong, kind, and brave, and always treats people with sincerity. You should have faith in Xiaolan; she is a girl with a strong heart.”

If one's heart weren't strong, one wouldn't have waited for Shinichi Kudo for so many years without complaint. A text message, a phone call, or a bag of candy from Shinichi Kudo could make Ran happy for a long time.

"Most importantly, a person gets tired of waiting for too long. You can continue this kind of life, but if it goes on for too long, Xiaolan will also be disappointed, and by then it will be too late even if you tell her."

“I’m afraid that one day my identity will be discovered by that organization, which will implicate Lan.”

"So you want to leave with a lifelong regret?"

"I... let me think about it first."

Seeing Conan's bitter expression, Hirai pursed his lips. If it were him, as long as he knew you had lived in the Mouri family, he wouldn't care whether you knew about the organization or not. Even Eri Kisaki and Professor Agasa wouldn't survive, and he might even set off a few big fireworks.

The people in that organization aren't exactly soft-hearted. Do you think you can escape punishment just because you don't know? Dream on!

Ugh, now that he's messed things up, I have to protect these two lab rats too. It's really a headache.

He tossed Conan, who was deep in thought, back to the agency. Although he was curious about what choice Conan would make under his influence, Conan was simply an eyesore.
