Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 60 Doubt
Late that night, Xiaolan walked back to the Maori Detective Agency alone.

When she opened the door and saw Conan who was still struggling to sleep, she was a little surprised, but her heart warmed, and she complained that he shouldn't wait for her, and the child should go to sleep quickly.

Conan smiled and said he knew, and asked gossipingly, "Sister Xiaolan, are you having a date with Brother Xinyi today, are you happy? Did you hold hands or kiss..."

"Conan, what are you talking about!" Xiao Lan interrupted the other party's question in embarrassment, and said anxiously, "It's just an ordinary movie, how could we do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the handbag in Xiaolan's hand again, and asked tentatively with his fingers: "Oh, so sister Xiaolan, is this a gift from Brother Xinyi?"

"No, this is a gift I bought for him..." At this point, the expression on Xiaolan's face dimmed again, "He said there was something urgent, so he left after watching the movie, and I didn't have time to send it out .”

"Is that so? Brother Shinichi must be too busy to get away. It's okay to give it to him next time I see him!" Conan tried to say something nice for himself.

Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is to pretend to be me, but judging from the results, not only helped myself out of the siege, but also solved the bomb incident and protected Xiaolan and other citizens.

As for the other party who left in a hurry without accepting Xiao Lan's gift, Conan was somewhat satisfied with the other party's understanding of current affairs, but also dissatisfied that the other party did not take care of Xiao Lan, and his heart was indescribably complicated.

Seeing that Xiaolan turned pale after hearing his comforting words, Conan took the opportunity to ask again: "Sister Xiaolan, is there anything strange about brother Xinyi today?"

"Strange place?" Xiaolan was a little curious about why Conan asked that question, but she still thought about it seriously, and said with some uncertainty, "He seems to have touched his hairspray today, but his hairstyle is still the same as usual, which is a bit weird..."

"Maybe he slept on his hair, so he needs to fix it, haha." Conan felt that imitating his hairstyle with hairspray was a routine operation, so he proposed a reasonable explanation and skipped this topic.

He suspects that the other party is as good at disguise as his mother, so he intends to continue to guide Xiaolan in this direction: "I'm afraid it's because Brother Xinyi thought of going on a date with you, so he didn't sleep because of excitement last night... Then what will he do today?" How does your spirit look? Has your skin gotten any worse?"

"I don't think so. He looks very energetic today." Xiaolan thought about it carefully, "I think his complexion is also very healthy, and he also looks like a hippie smiling face. It's probably because he was happy to solve the case." Very much!"

Seeing Xiaolan's sullen expression, Conan didn't dare to continue to give himself a negative impression, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Hahaha, brother Xinyi is such a person. Sister Xiaolan, it's already late, let's go to bed early !"

Being interrupted by Conan, Xiaolan's originally depressed mood was relieved a lot, so she stopped thinking about Kudo Shinichi leaving in a hurry, and went back to sleep after washing up.

Conan, who was lying in the futon, was staring at the ceiling, trying to think about what Xiaolan said.

The other party was able to make rich facial expressions and maintain natural skin color changes in close contact with Xiaolan without Xiaolan noticing abnormalities. It is a master of disguise, false voice and acting who is better than his own mother.

So he decided to secretly call his mother early tomorrow morning and ask her if she knew there was such a character.

……

Early the next morning, Conan made an excuse that he had an appointment to go to Dr. Ali's house, so he went directly to Dr. Ali's house and made an international long-distance call to his mother.

It was already night in the United States at this time, so Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku were both at home, so they sat on the sofa and answered the rare call from their cheating son.

Conan roughly talked about his experience yesterday and being impersonated, and also said that the first target he suspected was his mother.

After all, not many people know that they are Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Shinichi really has no way to attend the appointment, so it cannot be ruled out that Dr. Ali secretly notified his parents and asked them to help him out.

However, Dr. Ali, who was standing aside, repeatedly shook his head and denied it, and the Kudo couple on the other end of the phone also expressed that they did not know.

After ruling out this guess, Conan asked his mother again if he knew someone who could surpass her in disguise and acting skills, but was scolded by the other party.

As a former actress with strong self-esteem and a little conceited about his professional skills, he naturally would not admit that anyone could surpass him in these areas, so he gave a strict education to his son with low EQ.

However, after the education, she still mentioned a person's name, but her tone was a little lost: "I have a senior sister in the entertainment industry who is indeed a little bit better than me in this area, but she passed away last year... ..."

Of course, their teacher, Black Feather Pirate One, is even better than their senior sisters in these aspects, but this relationship needs to be kept secret from Conan, and Black Feather Pirate One has passed away long ago.

Hearing his mother's answer, Conan couldn't continue to ask, and the clues in this direction were interrupted.

In the end, when he carefully asked his parents the question "Do you have another illegitimate child", the phone was hung up directly...

……

When Conan made no progress and left Dr. Ali's house with a helpless expression, the two Kudos sitting on the sofa in the United States were also frowning.

"Yusaku, who do you think is impersonating Xiaoxin?" Yukiko looked worriedly at her husband who was thinking.

"Hmm... don't you think it's a little strange?" Yusaku Kudo thought for a moment and asked his wife.

"Strange? The whole thing is very strange, so don't keep it a secret." You Xizi didn't understand the meaning of the other party, so he asked him to speak directly.

"According to Shinichi, the people who were with Xiaolan that day, besides the person pretending to be him, were Mr. Ishino and Miss Natsumi."

"That person was able to hide his flaws in front of Mr. Ishino. Either he was very clear about the intersection between Shinichi and Mr. Ishino, or Mr. Ishino discovered it but didn't expose it..." Yusaku Kudo pointed out the crux of the problem.

You Xizi clapped her hands in agreement when she heard her husband's point of doubt, "That's right, if that Mr. Ishino is present, if the other party is pretending to be Xiaoxin through disguise, he will definitely be able to see through it!"

　Yesterday was a busy day at work, and there is another chapter to be presented this afternoon.
