Model worker and his little darling

Conan looked at Ping Qing with a righteous expression: "Of course, I want to capture them all, get the antidote, and return to my true self."

"Little detective, I'm curious, are you sure he's really from Academy City? What if he's from another organization?"

Conan was dumbfounded, um...

After pondering for a while, Conan slowly said, "That urchin-haired guy said, 'The light dancing on your fingertips is my unchanging faith!' This kind of behavior of shouting slogans before taking action shows that he has a fanatical worship of that organization. That urchin-haired guy must be from Academy City."

Hearing this, Ping Qing pinched himself to suppress his laughter. He almost burst out laughing. He should have known better than to cause so much trouble in the first place.

"Those are definitely from Academy City. What I'm more curious about is how you plan to wipe out this entire organization?"

Hirai stared at Conan, curious about the answer to this question.

"Of course I will track them down and inform the police, who will then bring them all to justice. I believe the law will deliver the fairest verdict, and no bad guy can escape the law."

"Hahahaha..." Pingqing laughed until tears streamed down his face.

Conan looked at the man in front of him who was laughing so hard he was crying. Was what he was saying really that funny?

"Little detective, you're so naive. Do you know how many yakuza organizations there are in Japan? Do you know why they've existed for so many years?"

"This……"

“In Japan, there are countless gangs, big and small. Like the Academy City you just mentioned, I also know an organization called Glory, and I even had contact with Miyamoto Musashi from there. It's a huge organization, and those people have a lot of skills.”

"There's an organization called Akatsuki in Osaka, and their members all wear black trench coats."

Upon hearing the word "black trench coat," Conan immediately thought of the two men in black he encountered at the amusement park, but the person who knocked him out claimed to be from Academy City.

Could it be that I witnessed a transaction between two major organizations? Which organization gave me the drug?

Is he really that unlucky? He doesn't even know who his opponent is. When will he be able to get back to normal?

Could it be that he has to face two major dark organizations alone? Will he ever be able to turn back into his original form? Thinking of this, Conan scratched his head vigorously.

Seeing Conan's frantic state, Pingqing smiled and continued, "There's also an organization called the Zoo. I've heard they can even use magic. I believe you'll encounter someone connected to this organization in the near future."

Hearing this, Conan curled his lip. How could magic possibly exist in this world? This guy is just bragging.

"If you can turn into a child, what's so strange about the existence of magic?"

Seeing Conan's nonchalant attitude, this Conan-themed world is truly absurd; this elementary school student who's a death god should be locked up.

Pingqing sighed and continued his charade: "And you've definitely heard of the Yamaguchi-gumi, right? Others like the Shinwakai, Inagawa-kai, Sumiyoshi-kai..."

"So much darkness, little detective, what are you going to do?"

Conan clenched his fists, his breathing heavy: "I know this world isn't just black and white, there are many gray areas, and I can't handle them all; the government, the police, and the public security will handle them. But this concerns me personally, and I will definitely investigate this Academy City thoroughly."

This is the only piece of information he knows after shrinking for so long.

"So what makes you think you have anything to offer? Just your tranquilizer darts and soccer cleats? Two random people could easily kill you."

"I……"

"Do you have manpower? Do you have weapons and equipment? Do you have intelligence sources? Do you know the size of these forces? And how can you be sure that the people in the government are trustworthy?"

"To be honest, Shinichi Kudo, I'm very disappointed in you. I could understand your naiveté before; after all, you were considered a prodigy, your path to success was smooth sailing, and you even helped the police solve many major cases, earning you the title of 'savior of the Japanese police.' But after experiencing it firsthand, you're still so naive...it's truly ironic."

Pingqing recalled watching anime in his past life, where Conan actually thought of meeting the organization's boss alone. If that person hadn't been his godmother, ha...

Conan listened to the man's words, feeling immense pain in his heart and his head throbbing as if it were about to split open: "Am I really that weak? I can't do anything."

Suddenly his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Little detective, what's wrong? Are you scared?"

Conan was completely absorbed in his own world and didn't hear what Hirai said.

Ping Qing shrugged, letting Conan fill in the blanks himself.

【Host, you've almost completely fooled them.】

"He won't believe any of this stuff. But after what I've done, he doesn't know anything yet, not even Gin's and Vodka's codenames, and he's suddenly gained an adversary. After all, he does believe in Academy City."

【Host, you're really shameless.】

"Heh, you're not shameless. I didn't see you stopping me when I was causing trouble, and weren't you the one giving me bad advice?"

[Host, I'm doing this to make the story more exciting.]

"Go to hell..."

Just as everyone was making a ruckus, Conan slowly stood up.

After regaining his senses, Conan wore his signature smile and said, "Why did you tell me so much information? Since you know so much, it proves that your background is also unusual. You are probably a high-ranking member of some organization. But the fact that you've told me so much only proves that most of what you said is false."

Ping Qing said nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm not losing anything anyway. I just want to see how far you can go."

……

Ran returned home and found that Conan hadn't come home yet. She was very worried and didn't even care about her own father who was starving to death next to her.

One phone call after another was made to Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko's homes, but none of them came home.

This alarmed Xiaolan, who grabbed her elderly father and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Unfortunately, Inspector Megure was in a meeting, so Uncle Mori and Ran had to wait.

Uncle Mori could only wait while glancing at the newspaper: "It's all Conan's fault. He's made it so I can't even get a meal. It's really killing me."

Upon suddenly discovering the important information in the newspaper, they were shocked: "A group of robbers broke into the department store after closing time and looted it, taking everything from jewels to electronic products."

Upon hearing this, Ran immediately thought of Conan.

Inspector Megure was also discussing the robbery case at the department store when he finished his meeting. After learning that Conan and the others had gotten into trouble at the department store, he immediately led his men there.

As Hirai watched Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure approaching on the map, he drugged Conan again and stripped him naked, leaving him with his bare bottom in front of Ran who was about to arrive.

As soon as the door opened, Uncle Mori rushed in with a few people and saw that everyone was sleeping on the floor except for Conan, who was completely clean.

Uncle Mori angrily picked up Conan and examined him. Finding no obvious wounds, he dressed him first.

And so, everyone on the ground was taken to the hospital.

Upon examination, it was found that all of them had been drugged with a powerful sedative.

Uncle Mori seemed to have thought of something: "Inspector Megure, do you remember the drug that Akiko Tani was given not long ago? I think it was done by the same person, just for money."

Inspector Megure understood; it seemed to be a repeat offender.
