I'm writing a fictional immortality script in Detective Conan.

Inside the study of the Kudo residence.

"So my opinion is the same as Mr. Kuromon's: Shinichi, your shrinking must never be revealed!"

Professor Agasa angrily pulled at his beard, pacing anxiously in circles.

"If those thugs knew that Shinichi Kudo was still alive, they might attack you again to silence you, and it might even affect the people around you."

Beside Professor Agasa, Yoya Kuromon secretly took photos of Shinichi Kudo after he changed his clothes, subtly borrowing lines from the original work while making unintentional comments.

Despite the claim of keeping it a secret, in the end, only Xiaolan and her close friends and family were kept in the dark; most of the other key figures knew.

But Kuromon Yōya definitely can't reveal this.

If this self-destruction expert knew he could act with impunity, he was truly afraid that one day Conan would jump in front of Gin and try to capture him by kicking a soccer ball.

If either side crashes, he'll be the one with the biggest headache...

"Shinichi, so you're home!" A clear, bright female voice came from the porch, reminding Yoya Kuromon of a morning oriole.

Upon hearing his childhood friend's voice, Conan's already large head became almost twice as big.

"Oh no, why is Xiaolan here at this hour?!"

Upon hearing this name, Kuromon Haruya turned her head to look at Professor Agasa with a puzzled expression, "Ran?"

"Her name is Ran Mouri. She's Shinichi's childhood friend and also likes girls." Professor Agasa glanced at Conan with a teasing smile.

"Who said I like her!" Conan immediately popped his head out and shouted, but hearing the approaching footsteps, he quickly hid behind the cabinet.

"No, this isn't the time to talk about this. You guys cover for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolan strode confidently to the front of the study.

"Shinichi, I can hear your voice. Ah, is there a guest?" Ran Mouri immediately concealed her presence when she saw a refined-looking stranger standing in the study besides Professor Agasa.

"Professor Agasa, who is this?"

Seeing that Professor Agasa was about to speak, Kuromon Renya quickly interrupted him, "Good evening, madam, my name is Kuromon Renya."

"I just returned to Japan from Italy a while ago, and I came here today to catch up with Shinichi. I just happened to run into Professor Agasa at the door, so we came in together."

Fortunately, after a few seconds of stunned silence, Dr. Agasa immediately received a look from Yoruichi Kuromon.

"Oh right, Shinichi called me and said a friend who was returning from abroad wanted to visit and asked me to open the door for him."

"The Black Gate... I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before..." Ran Mouri tapped her chin with her index finger, lost in memories.

"Ah! Could it be that you are Mr. Kuromon, whom the landlady mentioned, who rented three rooms in the apartment next door last week?"

Kuromon Haruya was somewhat surprised: "So, the Mouri Detective Agency next to the apartment is run by Ms. Mouri's family. Please take care of me in the future."

A dull thud came from behind Professor Agasa, catching Ran Mouri's attention.

"Hello, my name is Ran Mouri. Hey, what's that sound coming from behind me?"

She walked past Professor Agasa and was immediately captivated by the young version of her childhood friend, Conan, and hugged him tightly. "This child is so cute! What's your name?"

Whether Kuromon Haruya is cute or not is hard to tell, but Conan's dreamy look is quite lewd.

Considering the upcoming scene where he might take a bubble bath with Ran, he suddenly felt an urge to expose Conan's true identity immediately.

Conan: Why do I suddenly feel a chill?

"My name is Edogawa Conan!"

At this moment, the other three people standing in the study had no idea that with the birth of the name Conan Edogawa, the first year of the ruthless Conan era would begin.

After some persuasion from Professor Agasa, Conan successfully stayed temporarily at the Mouri Detective Agency and was taken home by Ran Mouri.

Meanwhile, Yoruichi Kuromon stayed behind to describe in detail the process of Shinichi Kudo shrinking to Professor Agasa, in order to facilitate future investigations and reverse analysis.

"Mr. Kuromon, thank you for saving Shinichi. You're welcome to visit me anytime!"

Haruya Kuromon estimated the time, and when Conan had already participated in the dog-riding incident, he left under the pretext that "there is still a filming commission to complete."

"Oh my, it's rare to meet a young person with whom I get along so well."

Watching Kuromon Yoru depart into the distance, Professor Agasa let out a sigh of relief. As for the figure that seemed to stagger, perhaps it was just his eyes playing tricks on him.

"Damn it, I'm still young, how could I possibly get along with an old man?" Ten meters away, Heimen Yaoye gritted his teeth, took out his phone, opened the navigation system developed by the organization, and located Erqiao Middle School.

"I wonder if the protagonist's halo from Detective Conan works in reality. I hope I don't waste my twenty years of anticipation."

Ever since confirming that she had transmigrated into the world of "Detective Conan", Haruya Kuromon has been looking forward to personally immersing herself in Conan's story and persecuting (crossed out) getting to know those vivid and lovable characters.

Therefore, he must personally protect Conan's life, just like a diligent farmer who protects his crops!

Twenty minutes later, in the alley opposite Erqiao Middle School.

Just when Kuromon and the others thought they might have missed the plot, a blurry black figure carrying something darted out from a distant street corner and flew into the campus at an extremely fast speed.

Watching Conan and his friends' perfect harmony as humans and dogs, I had the illusion that dogs were as easy to ride as horses.

"Hey, Conan!"

The sound of the wind whistling past his ears seemed to be mixed with shouts, but considering that saving lives was the priority, Conan didn't have time to think about it.

As Kuromon Haruya walked to the school gate, the Great Dane named Loki hurriedly ran out.

As he approached, intending to have the Great Dane lead the way, he saw the dog, as if it had been targeted by a predator, tuck its tail between its legs and run in the exact opposite direction.

Wait a minute?! According to the plot, shouldn't you be asking Xiaolan and the others for help?

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll step in and help out."

The dog's escape was completely unexpected, so Kuromon Haruya had no choice but to take out his specially modified and reinforced camera from his backpack and run quickly toward the stadium warehouse.

"Heh heh, kid, I'm going to take you down with me!"

Faced with the vicious thugs in front of him, Conan instinctively kicked out a soccer ball to attack, but forgot that his body had shrunk, and the impact of the soccer ball was no match for the thugs.

"Hehehehe..." The thug in front of him approached step by step, letting out a silly laugh that wasn't very clever.

Damn it, are we going to be wiped out?! There must be some other solution!

At this critical moment, Conan looked up and saw something unusual.

Bathed in moonlight, a dark figure overlapped with the assailant's silhouette, standing behind him. The figure moved with an identical pace, like a doppelganger from an urban legend, slowly approaching.

Just as the assailant picked up the baseball bat and was about to launch another attack, the dark figure raised a huge, gleaming cube and swung it at the assailant's head.

After a whooshing sound, the kidnapper landed on the ground.

"That scared me to death!"

The familiar voice appeared again, and this time Conan easily recognized who it was.

"Mr. Black Gate, what are you doing here?"

"I saw you ride in on a big dog, and soon after, only the dog came out, covered in wounds. That's when I guessed something had happened!"

Kuromon Haruya's face still showed lingering fear. When he used trembling hands to untie Tani Akiko, Conan finally saw his weapon clearly—a heavy, large black camera.

"Is this man sent by that organization to kill you? And is this little girl one too?"

Seeing the solemn expression on Kuromon Haruya's face, Conan immediately realized that he had misunderstood something and quickly explained what had happened.

Hearing Conan's explanation, Haruya Kuromon visibly relaxed, but immediately tensed up again, "What should I do? Did I kill someone?!"

"What? Who killed someone?" Kogoro Mouri heard the word "murder" as soon as he entered the room. He looked around warily, but found nothing except the unconscious thug.

Ran Mouri followed the big dog's directions to the scene, only to overhear this hilarious conversation: "Mr. Kuromon, don't worry, this thug is still breathing!"

"Mr. Kuromon? Ran, do you know this kid?" Kogoro Mouri pinpointed the key point.

"Dad, Mr. Kuromon is Shinichi's friend. Didn't you hear about him moving in from the landlady next door?"

Ignoring his daughter's words, Kogoro Mouri warned, "If you want to pursue my daughter, you'll have to get past me first."

"Okay, Dad, stop talking nonsense!" Ran Mouri pushed her father away when she heard him about to say something strange again.

Ran Mouri handed over the perfectly intact camera. "Mr. Kuromon, thank you so much for saving Conan this time! I'll definitely come to thank you in person when I have time."

A piercing gaze pierced his hand as he took the camera. Kuromon Haruya looked down and, as expected, saw Conan's jealous expression.

No wonder he's known as the King of Jealousy in East Asia, is it really necessary?

Yoya Kuromon took the camera and gave Ran Mouri a smile that was half grateful, half forlorn, and half thankful: "Miss Ran, that's too kind of you. I'm new to Beika Town and don't know the area well. I don't have any other friends here. It's already wonderful that you both came to visit me!"

"Of course, no problem! Mr. Kuromon, you can always ask Dad for help if you have any trouble."

With Ran Mouri's response, the presence of that gaze became so strong that it was impossible to ignore.

He remained oblivious, crouching down beside Conan and whispering in his ear, "What's wrong, Kudo? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Conan looked hesitant, then finally sighed, "...It's nothing. You saved me again, thanks."

Meanwhile, with the confession of little Gu Jingzi, the truth about this self-directed and self-acted kidnapping case was finally revealed.

Amidst Kogoro Mouri's cheers, Akiko and her father's discussions, and Ran Mouri's words of advice, the night came to a close.

To gin, vermouth, rum, and Pisco;

A meeting will be held tomorrow night at 8 PM in the top-floor conference room of Tokyo Metropolitan Base No. 2. Please be present on time.
