"Xiao Lan, it's me. I'm currently investigating a case and can't go back for the time being."
"That's Shinichi's voice..."
Ran Mouri's expression changed, and then Rōjin switched to Kogoro Mouri's voice, uttering his most classic line:
"There is only one truth..."
"Do you understand now?"
Luo Zhen said, "After he shrunk, he used this gadget to call you, including your father. The so-called Sleeping Kogoro was actually him who shot your father with a tranquilizer dart and then used this to impersonate him."
Ran Mouri is already half convinced. In fact, she had already begun to suspect Conan a long time ago. He looks like Shinichi Kudo, has a high IQ, and is good at and passionate about deduction. Except for the age, everything else matches up.
"But sometimes when Conan is around, Shinichi will call me too."
"The bow tie and the anesthetic needle were both made by Professor Agasa. He knew about it and was helping out."
“I called my uncle and aunt, and they also talked about Shinichi’s situation.”
“His parents were also in the know and helped cover for him.”
Luo Zhen said, "Besides, that dark-skinned detective from Kanto also knows about this, as do FBI agent Shuichi Akai and his mother Mary Akai. They may know now, or they may know after some time."
He was also unsure when the FBI agent and his mother found out about it.
"Besides that, there's also Kaito Kid."
Luo Zhen said, "Kaito Kid doesn't know his identity yet, but when your suspicions deepen and your probing becomes more and more direct, he will ask Kaito Kid to impersonate him because Kaito Kid looks exactly like him."
"Actually, there would be another beautiful girl who would meet him today, learn his identity and help him cover it up. The two would have many scenes of caring for and getting closer in the future, but I stopped it for you."
Even Ran Mouri can't tell the difference between the real and fake ones, so it's undeniable that they look the same.
He said to Ran Mouri, who looked shaken, "If you don't believe me, just insist that you know the truth and talk to them. You'll definitely see it."
Ran Mouri's smile vanished, replaced by a blank expression: "So, everyone else knew, but I was kept in the dark and even helped him hide it from me?"
She felt terrible. All her time chasing after Shinichi's trail had been like a joke. And in the eyes of those who knew the truth, and in Shinichi's eyes, her actions would probably be very troublesome.
Luo Zhen couldn't comment on this behavior. Conan didn't tell Ran Mouri because he was worried that she would get involved in the danger of the Black Organization, which was a good intention.
However, his high-profile promotion of Kogoro Mouri's fame was all for the purpose of pursuing clues about the Black Organization. Several times when he encountered members of the Black Organization, he would rush straight at them, without thinking about Ran Mouri's safety at that moment.
Even his parents couldn't stand his reckless behavior and joined forces to teach him a lesson, but it had little effect.
Feeling confused, Ran Mouri rummaged through her wallet, preparing to pay up and have some peace and quiet.
They just found that the money wasn't enough. Kogoro Mouri hadn't been earning any money to begin with, and his income had increased after Conan arrived, but he spent it all on drinking and horse racing, so it wasn't enough.
She was short of money: "Could I write an IOU? I promise to pay the full amount for the divination."
She thought of her mother; since things had come to this, she had no choice but to ask her mother for some money.
"I think you're a kindred spirit. No need for money, just take a few photos with me."
Luo Zhen smiled and took out his phone to instruct Ran Mouri on how to pose.
The two held hands tightly, their fingers intertwined, and made a heart shape with their other hands. Their faces were close together, looking like a couple deeply in love, while Conan, disguised as a baby, served as the background.
Ran Mouri's face flushed. Was this a little too intimate?
Seeing Conan and remembering his secrets, especially what Luo Zhen said about the beautiful girl who would know his identity, made her angry, but she didn't voice any objections.
How can I take a picture when both hands are occupied?
Just as Ran was wondering about this, she saw Ryouma's phone fly up and point at the two of them.
Is it ninjutsu? Or what?
She was astonished, and she believed Luo Zhen's words even more. With such miraculous methods, his divination must be accurate!
She took several photos with Luo Zhen in different poses, and they all looked very intimate.
When the last photo was taken, the two were nose to nose, as if they were about to kiss, and Conan slowly woke up and happened to see this scene.
Wait, why is Xiaolan kissing someone else?!
He cried out and realized his voice sounded strange.
Conan's crying startled Ran Mouri. Already nervous, she slipped and leaned forward, actually kissing him, completing the final photo.
The two parted ways immediately, and Luo Zhen smiled at Conan, saying, "Your girlfriend is great."
He didn't actually intend to win over Ran Mouri; this development was just accidental. But it was really interesting. As for Ran Mouri's previous intimacy with Conan and Shinichi, it's not a problem; the time reversal will take effect.
Since Shinichi Kudo is an ordinary person, a magic trick that subtly hints at avoiding intimate relationships and scenes of fan service will suffice.
After regaining her balance, Ran Mouri looked at the crying Shinichi Kudo and said calmly, "Shinichi, I think we should have a serious talk."
Conan felt a chill run down his spine. Did Ran know everything?
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back inside."
With Ran on one arm and Conan on the other, Luo Zhen went directly to Ran's house and clearly analyzed Shinichi Kudo's mental journey, his reckless actions, and the existence of the Black Organization for them, and gave them a piece of advice.
"Given Shinichi Kudo's current physical condition, he is no longer suitable for investigating cases, nor is there any reason for him to stay in Japan. It would be safer to hand him over to them to take to America, and it would also be more convenient for his parents to take care of him. We can't let Ran be his mother."
Shinichi Kudo was naturally unwilling. He saw through Ryouma's thoughts at a glance: This guy wanted to piss me off!
They kissed Xiaolan right in front of him. If he weren't there, who knows how things would have turned out!
"Shinichi, you really only think about yourself."
Luo Zhen said, "You need help even to go to the toilet now. Are you going to have Xiao Lan help you change if you poop on yourself?"
Shinichi Kudo was struck dumb. Yes, in his current state, his nervous system was not fully developed, he was unable to control his bladder and bowels, and he wet the bed every day.
Xiao Lan witnessed that predicament. Will she still be able to have romantic feelings for San Siqi after this?
After careful consideration, he realized that the best course of action was to temporarily tolerate and avoid direct confrontation.
We need to defeat the Black Organization as soon as possible and develop an antidote to turn him back to normal so that we can have a chance to win Xiaolan back.
The kiss just now was an accident, I believe Xiaolan!
Wait a minute, how did I shrink again? He looked at Luo Zhen, remembering that he had inexplicably fainted after arguing with Luo Zhen.
Could it have been him? Is he a member of the Black Organization? But why didn't he kill me?
Shinichi Kudo was completely baffled. If he knew so much about the Black Organization, he must either be a member or someone from an organization like the FBI. Could he be an ally?
He fell silent. Luo Zhen ended the discussion, and Ran Mouri informed Shinichi Kudo's parents. She looked at Luo Zhen, thinking of that kiss, and hesitated to speak.
Luo Zhen got up and left. Given Ran Mouri's personality, trying to poach someone from another company would be a long process, so there was no need to rush it. This was quite interesting.
Now we need to use the invincible Time Reversal!
With everything going smoothly, Ryougi returned to the Black Organization building. Ai Haibara did not enter the shack to call for help, indicating that she was not in danger.
"Sir God."
Akemi Miyano had clearly just come out of the bathroom, wearing a pure white bathrobe, with glistening water droplets still dripping from her hair. The hem of her bathrobe swayed gently with her movements, occasionally revealing a section of her fair, jade-like calves with rounded and beautiful lines.
Her neckline was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her delicate collarbone and an alluring shadow. Her bare feet were on the soft carpet, and her toes involuntarily curled up as they touched the downy fur.
She ran to Luo Zhen with small, quick steps, her skirt spreading out like flower petals as she knelt on the ground. She reverently took Luo Zhen's hand in hers, gently pressing her cheek against it and caressing it. Her moist eyes were filled with an almost fanatical reverence.
"My God, thank you for saving me. I am willing to dedicate my whole heart and soul to serving you forever."
False gods have many fanatical followers, and after personally experiencing miracles, Akemi Miyano has become extremely devout.
Luo Zhen stroked Miyano Akemi's smooth face and felt her devotion.
[Request: Akemi Miyano wants to offer you her body and soul]
[Reward for Commission: 100 Commission Crystals]
If you can even issue commissions, how can you not be devout?
Luo Zhen patted her cheek, and under his guidance, Miyano Akemi awkwardly bit the zipper of his pants.
"Is my sister planning to offer herself to the shop manager?"
Ai Haibara knew Miyano Akemi's intentions very well; anyone who saw her posture could guess what she was thinking.
She wasn't averse to it, or rather, if she hadn't taken the shrinking drug, she wouldn't have minded exchanging herself for her sister's resurrection.
"However, with such a big incident happening here, the Black Organization will probably take action. At the very least, they should realize that something has happened here."
She stared at the monitor in the control room, her gaze accidentally falling on Luo Zhen before quickly looking away. Then, like a thief, she stealthily glanced at him a couple more times.
Not long after, she realized something was wrong. In one of the surveillance cameras, a person entered, not through the main entrance, but by climbing through the window.
She was a mature woman with blonde hair and long, wavy hair.
Chapter 99 The Demise of the Black Organization / Swallowing the Essence of Wisdom Alive?
Vermouth infiltrated the Black Organization's base. As a high-ranking member of the Black Organization, and one with a special status, she held a significant position at the brewery and shouldn't have been able to enter like a thief.
But there was nothing she could do. She tried contacting Gin and Vodka, but no one responded. She pretended to be a passerby and saw the gate wide open. In a fleeting glance, she saw corpses everywhere, but strangely, no passerby noticed or called the police.
Since there were no police officers guarding the scene, it was probably not a breakthrough by police forces from any country.
Gin's car, a black Porsche 356A, is parked here; no one knows what happened to it.
Vermouth found it hard to believe that the expressionless man would have an accident, so she decided to sneak into the base to check. She was confident that with her skills, she could escape unscathed if not for being surrounded by elites from various countries.
As she walked, she felt extremely frightened. There were dead bodies everywhere on the road. She checked them briefly and found no signs of fighting or external injuries, so it didn't look like poisoning.
Despite her extensive experience in killing, she couldn't figure out the cause of death for these people.
Vermouth became alert. She looked at the surveillance cameras above and felt somewhat helpless. With her skills, she could easily avoid most of the cameras, but this base was managed by Gin. That paranoid man had installed the surveillance cameras too well, leaving no blind spots.
I wonder if the people who do this have access to the monitoring room.
She remembered that Shiho Miyano was imprisoned here, and she wondered if she could take advantage of the chaos to kill her.
She hadn't walked far when she noticed something amiss: a man and a woman kneeling before each other, neither of them in their own rooms, were brazenly standing outside.
In less than a second, Vermouth figured out what the two were doing, playing such a big game in a building full of dead bodies.
Where did Gin go?
The next moment, she met the man's eyes, and then, gravity struck, pressing her to her knees, unable to move.
What is this ghost?
No matter how much Vermouth resisted, she was unable to get up; gravity bound her body.
