Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 288 Entering the Main Storyline

Previously, Conan had to do everything he could to prevent Ran Mouri from discovering his identity.

Now, to everyone's surprise, Ran Mouri didn't believe him after he revealed his identity.

"I really am Shinichi Kudo!"

Conan said somewhat anxiously, and then revealed a series of things that only Shinichi Kudo knew.

However, Ran Mouri frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Shinichi, that guy, why does he tell you everything?"

"I'll definitely teach him a lesson when we meet again."

As she spoke, Ran rubbed her wrist.

Conan swallowed hard, but right now he really wanted Ran to teach him a lesson.

"Xiaolan, do you remember when we went to the tropical amusement park? I saw people making shady deals there!"

"Just as I was intently observing them, another person knocked me unconscious from behind!"

"After that, my body was... my body was tampered with, and it became like this!"

Conan made another confession, but still omitted many details.

For example, APTX4869.

He originally intended to tell Ran Mouri that Qi Ming was a bad guy.

However, judging from Qi Ming's current relationship with Xiao Lan and even with everyone else besides himself, they seem to get along quite well.

If Qi Ming discovers that Ran Mouri's attitude towards him has suddenly changed, he may inevitably do something unpredictable.

Conan has seen many cases, and some of the murderers with psychological problems still get along well with their friends after committing murder.

However, once the murderer notices that his friend is behaving strangely towards him, he will definitely make his move.

Ran Mouri listened to Conan's words in a daze, and after a long while, she slowly said:

"Conan, I never expected you to actually..."

Conan lowered his head and sighed.

The anxiety that had been building up because of the secret finally eased at this moment.

Xiaolan will probably give me a good scolding, right?

But it's alright, it's what he deserves.

"Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I..."

"Hehehe, Conan, you're really mischievous."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Ran Mouri suddenly burst out laughing.

"Conan, have you been reading too many fantasy novels? How did you come up with such an interesting story?"

"Oh, I get it. Shinichi must have asked you to play a trick on me, right?"

"...Huh?"

Conan was stunned again.

I've already explained it in such detail, why doesn't Xiaolan believe me?!

Do you have to tell me exactly when and where he saw your underwear before you'll believe me?

Do you think Shinichi Kudo has such a big heart that he can tell a relative's child so many things?

Ran Mouri crouched down and patted Conan's head, then laughed.

"Conan, Ran-neechan has something to tell you. Do you know what the law of conservation of energy is?"

Conan nodded.

Normally he would have said he didn't know.

But now that he's laid his cards on the table—that he is Shinichi Kudo—there's no need for him to hide his extraordinary wisdom anymore.

"Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred from one object to another or transformed into another form."

After hearing Conan's answer, Ran Mouri smiled and clapped her hands.

"Bingo! Conan is so smart! He even knows this kind of advanced knowledge!"

"..."

Conan's lips twitched slightly.

what happened.

I've already been so honest with myself, Xiaolan, if you don't believe me, fine, but why does your tone of voice sound even more like a preschooler's?

Ran Mouri looked at Conan with a smile, then asked:

"Then let me ask you, Conan, if you really are Shinichi who shrunk, where did your energy go? Can you explain that to me?"

"Energy must be..."

Conan immediately blurted out an answer.

But after saying something like "explain" in his speech, his mind went completely blank.

That makes sense!

Where did the energy go?

I've gone from being such a big young man to the little kid I am now...

Is this even scientific? This is totally unscientific!

"So, Conan, do you know the answer to the question?"

"me……"

Conan's expression turned ashen.

Oops.

He can't do this problem, he really can't do it!

Seeing Conan's dazed expression, Ran patted Conan's head again, then turned around and went up the stairs.

"Alright, Conan, this is a really interesting story. You can play by yourself now. I'm going to take a shower..."

"Xiaolan!"

Conan snapped out of his daze and quickly waved and called out again.

However, Ran Mouri did not turn her head this time.

"..."

Conan watched Ran's figure slowly walk away, stood there in a daze for a moment, and finally returned to sit down on the sofa.

So where did the energy go?

It was only now that Conan realized this.

The idea that someone could shrink to a small size with just one pill is a bit too surreal, isn't it?!

No, no, no, there's no point in discussing these things now.

The important thing is...

Xiaolan not only lied to him today, but she doesn't even believe him anymore!

He was clearly determined to be honest with Xiaolan!

goooo~

"..."

Conan clutched his stomach and bent over with difficulty.

Oh no, I haven't had dinner yet.

……

Inside the Mori Detective Agency room.

Ran Mouri sat on the bed but did not immediately go to take a shower as she had said.

She was thinking.

Ran Mouri was genuinely surprised when Conan told her that he was Shinichi Kudo.

Could it be because I went out to eat with Qi Ming today, and he suddenly became jealous and wanted to reveal my true identity?

It shouldn't be possible, right?

If you really like me, why haven't you confessed to me for so long?

Ran Mouri suddenly blushed and shook her head.

Although Conan revealed his identity for the first time today, Ran Mouri really wants to acknowledge Shinichi as her father.

But Ran Mouri felt it wasn't the right time to be honest.

Shinichi's consistent concealment of his identity, and Qi Ming's similar concealment of Shinichi's perfunctory attitude when facing the enemy today.

It was obvious that they didn't want to get involved.

But Shinichi has already turned into a child and is still fighting against darkness, so how could she be willing to do nothing?

Leaving aside Mr. Qi Ming for now, even Conan, in his current state, wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from her when he grows up, let alone in his current form.

Ran Mouri felt she should do something.

This young lady is not very talented, and she doesn't want to be protected like this!

"Hmph, since no one is telling me, I'll find the answer myself."
