Chapter 10 Edogawa Conan

“………I understand.”

It was the first time that Kudo Shinichi saw the usually unreliable doctor showing such a serious attitude. He felt a little uncomfortable and forced a stiff smile on his face.

"By the way, where is that annoying guy from last night? Why didn't I see him today?" Shinichi tried to change the subject.

The serious expression on Dr. Agasa's face gradually softened: "You mean Xiaoyu, he went back to his room... Wait?"

The doctor had only said half of his words when he froze, as if he had discovered something. His eyes, which were blocked by lenses, suddenly widened and he stared blankly at the door of the study.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

Seeing Dr. Agasa suddenly stand there in a daze, Kudo Shinichi was a little surprised and looked in the direction he was looking.

Then he was also stunned, with a dull expression.

At the door of the study, a petite figure was hiding behind the door, half of her head was exposed and she was looking at them. There was no expression on her face, as calm as still water.

The guy hiding behind the door and peeping is none other than the little boy, Aragaki Sawaha, who just moved into the doctor's house last night!

Seeing that the two people opposite were looking at him, Ze Yu said expressionlessly: "Don't look at me, I just happened to pass by and didn't hear anything."

After that, he showed a disdainful expression on his little face, and said to the shrunken Kudo Shinichi: "However, there is something I need to tell you. Your taste is really terrible. The dress you gave me last night was a style from decades ago, right?"

"This dress is out of fashion! Do you understand? You should read more magazines and learn more about what styles of clothes are popular now!"

After angrily scolding Shinichi, Ze Yu turned his attention to Dr. Agasa and nodded gently: "Doctor, I'm going back to my room first, you two can talk slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ze Yu retracted the half of his head that was sticking out, and closed the door.

"........."

After Ze Yu left, the doctor and Shinichi fell into silence.

After a while, Shinichi said in a daze: "...Doctor, did he hear everything we just talked about?"

"That should be the case. Xiaoyu has recognized you as Shinichi, otherwise she wouldn't have said that just now."

The doctor smiled bitterly and then sighed.

They had no time to think about why Ze Yu suddenly appeared in Kudo Shinichi's house, because his appearance had disrupted their thoughts.

The most important thing now is to prevent Ze Yu from leaking out what he just overheard.

Just then, the door was opened again and Ze Yu stuck his head in.

"By the way, remember to close the door next time you talk. I closed it for you this time, but remember to close it yourself next time."

"One more thing. Before I came here, I looked down the street and saw a seventeen-year-old girl walking this way...Does anyone know her?"

Before the two people on the other side could answer, Ze Yu shook his head again and said to himself: "Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, I'll go back first."

Ze Yu closed the door again. The doctor and the other person standing in the study could clearly hear footsteps coming from outside the door, and then the sounds of opening and closing the door. It seemed that he had indeed returned to the doctor's house.

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked at the doctor.

"He just said that a seventeen-year-old girl was walking towards my house?"

Dr. Agasa nodded speechlessly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Xiaolan, and she is here to find you."

"Oops!"

Shinichi's face suddenly became flustered and he seemed a little at a loss.

He is not ready to face Xiaolan in his current identity.

Who knew that the other party would come to kill us so soon.

Just when Kudo Shinichi wanted to hide, Xiaolan's voice came through the door.

"Shinichi? Are you there?"

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi looked bitter. He knew that it was too late for him to hide now.

It's over, it's completely over now...

Xiaolan is about to recognize me!
When Shinichi heard Xiaolan's voice, he was a little panicked at first, but he quickly calmed down.

As a detective, Shinichi knew that the most important thing to do when facing danger was to stay calm. His brain started thinking quickly.

"Disguise... By the way, I need to hide my identity!"

But, where is there anything around that can hide my identity?

Shinichi suddenly remembered the pair of glasses that his father kept in the cabinet in the study.

Unfortunately, it seemed that because of Ze Yu's appearance just now, Kudo Shinichi did not hide behind the cabinet at this time, so he was now quite a distance away from the cabinet.

And now, the door is about to open. If I run over to open the cabinet, it will be too late.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi calmed down completely.

He turned his gaze to Dr. Agasa who was standing beside him.

At this critical moment, it seems that becoming a doctor is the only goal I can choose.

Thinking of this, Shinichi jumped up without any hesitation and snatched the glasses from the doctor's face.

Dr. Agasa: “???”

"Ouch...what's going on? Why can't I see clearly?"

After losing his glasses, the severely myopic doctor seemed a little shaky, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

Kudo Shinichi said in his heart with full of apology: "Doctor, I'm sorry."

He quickly put on the glasses, but because the degree of the glasses was very high, he felt dizzy as soon as he put them on.

After realizing what was happening, Shinichi chose to take action without hesitation, poked the lenses of his glasses off, and then put them on his face again.

Just at the moment when Kudo Shinichi put on his glasses, the door was pushed open and Xiaolan, who was 1.7 meters tall, walked in.

As soon as she walked into the study, she saw Dr. Agasa lying on the ground.

"Ah, Doctor, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaolan exclaimed, quickly bent down and helped the doctor up.

"I need glasses... Xiaolan, help me get them. My spare glasses are in the second pocket inside my coat."

"I see."

Xiaolan acted quickly, pulling out a pair of glasses from the doctor's coat and placing them in his hand.

Putting his glasses back on, Dr. Agasa breathed a sigh of relief and looked in Shinichi's direction.

When he saw the glasses on the other person's face, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

There was a silent roar in his heart.

It turns out it’s you, you little brat!
You've really become so capable that you dare to steal my glasses?
Are you bullying me because I’m old and weak?

Although he felt a little depressed, Dr. Agasa smiled in order to cooperate with the acting.

At this time, Xiaolan discovered Kudo Shinichi, who had been standing next to her and remained silent. She immediately squatted down in surprise and looked at him.

"What a cute kid, what's your name?"

"my name………"

Hearing this, Shinichi was a little stunned and looked back at the bookshelf behind him.

A lot of names flooded through his mind.

Sherlock Holmes...Ranpo Edogawa...Arthur Conan Doyle...

A name popped up in his mind.

"My name is, Edogawa Conan."

PS: I recommend the book "Detective Conan: The Handsome Sibling".
