"How is it possible? Why would my mom come here to pick me up? Could it be that she learned about me from Professor Agasa and rushed back to Neon?"
'It's not impossible. No, Xiaolan was calling Conan's mom, not Shinichi's mom. What's going on?!' His mind was working rapidly, and at the same time, Conan suddenly raised his head and looked at the doorway that Xiaolan had made way for.
"Hi, Conan, long time no see, your mother is here to pick you up!~" A fat aunt with glasses was standing there, looking at him with a smile.
Conan blinked blankly, his train of thought completely interrupted.
"Auntie, who are you?"
. . .
"Just brought it down like that?" In a hidden corner of another convenience store on the street, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kudo Yusaku, who had dressed up in disguise, stood shoulder to shoulder where books and periodicals were placed, looking at the situation in the direction of the detective agency with the help of magazines and newspapers in their hands.
"With Shin-chan's suspicious personality, he would definitely come down with Yukiko even if he had doubts in his heart. After all, he knows very well his identity as Edogawa Conan." With a smile of success in his eyes, he looked at Conan who was obediently taken to the car by Yukiko after changing into casual clothes, and Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect Shin-chan looked like this when he was little wearing glasses."
"Are you so surprised? Didn't I show you Conan's photo before?" Looking at Kudo Yusaku beside her strangely, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head in annoyance.
"Really? With all this commotion, I don't know how to call that brat."
"There's no rush. Since Yukiko has already taken the people away, let's go and prepare." Putting the newspaper in his hand back on the shelf, Kudo Yusaku stretched his windbreaker.
"That's fine. I'll just show up for a bit, but the main deception will still depend on you and Sister Yukiko." Nodding slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka followed in Kudo Yusaku's footsteps.
"But is it really okay for you to play with Shinichi like this? If he figures it out, he'll probably be very angry."
"It doesn't matter, because we are also angry, so it's even." Shaking his head slightly, Kudo Yu said the coldest words in the calmest tone.
"And there's no danger to his life. I just want to give Shin-chan a good scare. He needs to understand that I don't care about ordinary cases, but when facing a worldwide black organization, he needs to know what danger is and how his impulsive actions will bring about disastrous consequences."
"Yeah, Shinichi is just too impulsive sometimes." Nodding in agreement, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was originally a little worried about Shinichi, instantly hardened her heart.
A kid like this who is so impulsive and has no idea of safety needs to be given a good scare.
"Let's go, I'll drive, but Yusaku-nii, are you sure Shin-chan will go find Dr. Agasa after he escapes from Yukiko-nii?"
"Believe me, Xiaojing, he is my son, I know very well what he will do." With a confident smile on his lips, Kudo Yusaku smiled faintly.
"..." Nodding silently, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt a little sorry for Shinichi.
. . .
"It's so cold, why hasn't the doctor come back yet." Conan was shivering and hiding at the street corner near Dr. Agasa's house. He looked carefully at the street in front of his own house and the doctor's house.
Conan, who had just escaped from the woman's hands during the chaos, said he was really panicked.
He didn't know when his tracks were exposed.
"Is it because of that time at the karaoke bar before? Damn it, I really shouldn't have revealed my name." Conan slammed his fist hard on the wall next to him, his heart full of regret and fear.
"What should I do now?"
Panic, unprecedented panic enveloped Conan's heart.
Is there something wrong with Xiaolan?
This was the first question that came to Conan's mind.
If that woman really was a member of the organization that drugged me and turned me into a smaller person, and they were able to find me at Xiaolan's house, it means that they were also aware of the relationship between me and Xiaolan.
Now that I have escaped from that woman, will they be angry and go looking for trouble with Xiaolan?
Go back and take a look?
No! This thought was extinguished as soon as it arose in Conan's mind.
If the other party is lurking around the detective agency, going back would be like walking into a trap.
If I don't go, they may be hesitant and just wait and see what happens to the firm.
So after hesitating for a long time, Conan had no choice but to come here to find Dr. Agasa.
"They probably won't be able to investigate that thoroughly. Let's talk to Dr. Agasa first." Holding a glimmer of hope, Conan endured the cold and waited for the doctor's return.
"Oh! You're finally back, Dr. Agasa!" The arms that were hugging his body kept rubbing against each other. When a chubby figure holding an umbrella appeared in his sight, Conan had never felt so intimacy.
"Squeak!" Conan, who was about to call Dr. Agasa, was interrupted by the harsh sound. He looked over subconsciously and found a familiar figure getting out of the sports car parked on the street.
"Aunt Jing is here too? Isn't this unstable?" The surprise in his heart doubled in an instant. Conan, who couldn't help cheering in great joy and sorrow, suddenly found something wrong.
"Strange, why is Aunt Jing so anxious? She ran towards the doctor. What's with that serious expression on her face?"
A feeling of uneasiness instantly enveloped Conan's heart.
Not wanting to wait any longer, Conan raised his hand and was about to run out of the corner.
"Ugh!" Conan felt something was wrong the moment his mouth was covered, but he eventually closed his eyes helplessly and lost consciousness.
"What's wrong? Are you fainted?" Seeing Yukiko in casual clothes carrying Conan out from the corner, Professor Agasa and Shizuka Hiratsuka, who met them on the street, all came over.
"Well, it's done. Next it's my and Yusaku's turn." Yukiko nodded with a smile and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka jokingly.
"Not bad, Xiaojing. Your anxious expression just now is very similar. If you work hard, maybe you can really inherit my legacy~"
"Forget it, it's too troublesome." Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the unconscious Conan and resisted the urge to punch him on the head.
"You go ahead, Dr. Agasa and I will go get ready."
"Well, I'll leave it to you~"
"Haha, it's okay. I haven't had such an activity for a long time. I feel a lot younger!" Dr. Agasa touched his beard with a smile. His interest was even higher than Hiratsuka Shizuka had imagined.
"So I say, if you have time, you might as well find a partner. Your conditions are good, wouldn't it be nice to have someone to take care of you?" Looking at Yukiko and Conan walking away, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained helplessly.
"Well, I don't have that idea for the time being. Besides, aren't you always alone, Xiaojing?"
"I! I can always find it, and I still have many opportunities. Doctor, if you don't seize it now, it will be too late."
"What? I have someone I like, okay? You make me sound like..."
"Hey! Doctor, what did you just say?!"
"Ahem, nothing, let's get ready for the next step. Ah, it's really not easy to get past that brat Shinichi just once!"
"Hey! Doctor, don't change the subject!"
Chapter 210: 206's mentality collapsed
"You really can come up with some weird things."
After a night's rest at Dr. Agasa's home, Shizuka Hiratsuka rushed back the next day and helped Dr. Agasa put on the human skeleton frame he had made in an emergency with a helpless look on his face.
"Haha, these are just some simple skills, and they can be done very easily." Nodding with a smile, Dr. Agasa manipulated the skeleton machine he made and moved it slightly.
"Well, although I can't do any very precise movements, it can be used to deceive Shinichi. As long as I can walk normally, it will be fine."
After taking two steps with satisfaction, Dr. Agasa looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a wry smile.
"Yes, yes, I'll help you out again, right?" Shaking her head with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka put down the coffee in her hand, rolled up her sleeves and walked over.
"Okay, in this case, we just need to load these things into the car and change into them when we get to the Rice Flower Restaurant."
With a few clicks, he folded the mechanical skeleton he made together, and Dr. Agasa stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.
"No matter how I think about it, I feel that you guys, Professor Agasa, are too excited." He scratched his hair. Although he was quite into the game and didn't even accept Yukino's invitation, Shizuka Hiratsuka always felt a little guilty. Teasing Shinichi like this, would it be particularly frustrating when the truth was revealed?
"But I think it's Yukiko and the others who should be worried. Shinichi wouldn't dare do anything about me." Recalling how Kudo Shinichi had been as a teacher before her, Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded gently, putting away the slightest worry in her heart.
"Let's go, Dr. Agasa. Sister Yukiko and the others just sent a message saying that Shinichi has already hidden away from them. They are now heading towards the Beika Hotel. Let's go there now."
"Oh, okay, let's go now." Dr. Agasa and Shizuka Hiratsuka each held half of the things they needed for casual wear, and walked out of the door of their house.
"Hey, Xiaojing, have you changed your car again?" Looking at the unfamiliar SUV in front of him, Dr. Agasa blinked blankly.
"No, Shinichi knows both of my cars. Didn't you leave the secret code in the parking lot? I thought it would be bad if Shinichi accidentally found my car. So, I rented a new car last night, so I'll just use it for now." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile, patting the door of the SUV.
"Ha, you're talking about me, Xiaojing. Aren't you enjoying it just as much?"
"You don't have to tell me, let's go!"
. . .
"Dr. Agasa has come up from the parking lot. He said Shin-chan is following him." Looking at the email on her mobile phone, Yukiko, who was in casual clothes, smiled and nodded.
"We have prepared everything very well. We are just waiting for Shinichi to come." After changing into a set of clothes like those in a stage play, Kudo Yusaku sat on the sofa and spoke with a smile.
"But Shinichi is a little slow. It seems his deduction skills are still not up to par."
"Okay, you and your son are both absolute mystery geeks, so don't blame each other." Waving his hand lazily, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the blood bag in his hand in confusion.
"Sure enough, I still think this is too scary. I feel like the two of you are enough to scare Shinichi. I really don't need to put a dead body in a bag, right? Although it's not impossible to get in."
"Hey, what's the matter? It's just for fun." Yukiko smiled and blinked, looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka eagerly, which made Shizuka Hiratsuka's face twitch.
"Sister Yukiko, do you really like to pit your own son so much?" Helplessly throwing the blood bag in her hand aside, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up and stretched.
"I'm going to the room across the street to listen to the live broadcast. We'd better not pretend with the corpse or anything like that. It would be bad if Shinichi got scared. The impact of your lies and seeing it with your own eyes is different."
"Okay then, when it's over, we'll call you over, Xiaojing." Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka had made the decision, Yukiko had no intention of forcing her.
"Honey, Shizuka really cares about Shinichi." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka's figure disappearing in the room, Yukiko turned around and said to Kudo Yusaku with a smile.
"After all, Shinichi is the child who grew up under Xiaojing's care, so he must be cared for. Otherwise, Shinichi would not respect Xiaojing so much." Nodding with a smile, Kudo Yusaku turned on the eavesdropping device in the room, then picked up the mask at hand and put it on his face.
"Then let's get started."
"I can get into the role anytime, anywhere~"
. . .
In the room across the corridor, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who heard the entire development of the incident, had a subtle expression on her face.
Regardless of the script arranged by Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko, although she did not see the change in Shinichi's expression with her own eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka already knew it from the other party's few words.
Shinichi's mentality completely collapsed this time.
"Ahaha, are you all done?" After hearing Yukiko's call, Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed open the door of the room with a smile, and saw Conan lying on the sofa with a puffy look on his face, as if saying, "I'm angry, please ignore me, but if you don't give me a reasonable explanation to coax me, I won't forgive you." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled even more happily.
"Aunt Jing, forget about my parents, I can accept the doctor, but I didn't expect you to get involved in such a boring thing!"
Staring at Shizuka Hiratsuka with his dead fish eyes, Conan looked at her resentfully. Knowing that his identity was completely exposed, he no longer concealed anything.
"Well, from our point of view, this matter is quite interesting." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged innocently. She felt that in the whole thing, she was at most a tool, and the main processes were handled by the other three people.
"Besides, weren't you the one who lied to us in the beginning, you little brat? Such a big thing happened, and you still didn't contact us!" Sitting down next to Conan, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't coax him like Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku did, but directly reached out and rubbed his head.
"Auntie Jing, I'm angry!" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka angrily, Conan struggled to free his head from Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands.
"Yes, yes, take your time to get angry, I don't care." Nodding with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka touched her chin, looking at Conan with subtle eyes.
"But I didn't expect that I was so important to you. You almost cried when you heard that I was in trouble."
"I didn't!" Conan growled stubbornly, his face flushed red.
"Yes, yes, if not then no~"
"Damn it!!"
Chapter 211:207 Aunt Jing, have your skills declined?
After briefly teasing Conan, Shizuya Hiratsuka consciously withdrew from the atmosphere of the conversation with the Kudo family with Professor Agasa.
After watching Conan silently reject the proposal of Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko and refuse to leave and stay in Neon, Shizuka Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he had known their family for such a long time, but he had never seen such a serious discussion.
"So, are you still planning to live with Xiaolan? Xin... Forget it, until you grow up, I'll still call you Conan." Scratching her hair, there was no outsider present, and Shizuka Hiratsuka lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth without hesitation.
"You'd better get used to it, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I accidentally called your name wrong."
"Well, Aunt Jing, just do whatever you want." Conan nodded gently. To be honest, he was a little helpless. He obviously didn't want to get too many people involved, but he found that the people he wanted to avoid at the beginning were basically already connected to this matter.
"It's the same as what Dr. Agasa discussed before. I will still live in the detective agency and use Uncle Mori's identity to get involved in more cases. I also have to investigate it myself." Conan nodded seriously. Although Kudo Yusaku said that he would get rid of his Interpol friends, Conan himself did not give up investigating the matter.
"Tsk, is that really the case?" Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that with his personality, he would not just sit there and wait.
"If Yusaku-san and Yukiko-san have no objection, I won't stop you. But you have to promise me that you are a child now and be careful in everything you do." Shizuka Hiratsuka knocked on Conan's head unhappily and suddenly understood why Kogoro Mouri liked to hit Conan's head so much.
"Yes, I understand." Conan nodded obediently. He knew that he had no room for rebuttal to his somewhat violent aunt.
