"Then Dad, let's go together now."
On the side, Xiaolan ran to Maori and said with a sigh of relief.
Although strictly speaking Colin did not do anything inappropriate, she still felt stressed out by a strange man constantly begging her to take pictures.
"Ah, let's go now!"
Maori first found a place to put the wine in his hand, and then walked towards the door.
Behind him, Conan took the book and handed it to Colin, who was a little indignant.
"Back to you."
He would never abandon his beloved sister Xiaolan just for a small gift, even if it was an autographed book by Sherlock Holmes!
"Tsk, you're really going too far, little brat." Colin glanced at the book handed over and didn't take it. He rubbed Conan's head with some dissatisfaction and said, "It's just taking two photos. I'm not trying to snatch your sister Xiaolan from you. Is it necessary to have such a jealous expression?"
"But never mind!" Colin said, taking a few photos of Conan's dead eyes with his camera, and walked towards Maori and the others, saying, "At least I got something. As for the gifts, there's no reason to take back what I gave. If you really don't want them, just find a place to throw them away."
Conan frowned after being flashed by the camera flash. He looked at Colin who was walking forward, trotted over and said, "Hey, Uncle Colin, you didn't even know Uncle Maori and us would be here before you came to Vesbania, so how could you take out a gift for us?"
"Besides, how did Uncle Colin come up with the gifts for us? Generally speaking, no one would carry red wine and karate uniforms with them at all times."
Conan asked like a curious baby.
He noticed many suspicious points about this person who claimed to be a fan of Uncle Maori after just meeting him for the first time.
And most importantly, in front of this person, he always had a sense that everything he saw through was happening.
"What do you think? Conan-kun, oh no, I should say Kudo-kun."
Looking at Maori who was walking in front, Colin showed an ambiguous smile on his face.
Conan listened, his pupils contracted for a moment, but soon, he pretended not to understand and said, "Ah hey! Uncle Colin, what are you talking about..."
“No matter how a person’s body changes, as long as the person is still the same person, the soul will definitely remain the same.”
As he spoke, Colin squatted down, pointed his finger at Conan's forehead, and chuckled, "But in my eyes, your soul is completely different from your current body, Kudo Shinichi!"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and soon, Conan scratched his head and laughed, "Uncle Colin said something I couldn't understand, and the soul doesn't exist at all, but I do look a lot like Shinichi when he was a child. I didn't expect Uncle Colin to know Shinichi's childhood..."
"Are you pretending not to understand?" Looking at Conan who was pretending to be stupid, Colin stood up with a bit of evil taste and said coldly: "APTX-4869! I think you should know about this drug that turned you from a high school detective into the elementary school student you are now."
"After all, the woman who developed this drug, Miyano Shiho, who is now known as Haibara Ai and codenamed Shirley in the organization, went to elementary school with you, right?"
As the words fell, cold sweat broke out on Conan's body.
Was it exposed? When was it exposed
No, now is not the time to think about that!
This man must be defeated as soon as possible and inform Huibara and the doctor!
My hand subconsciously rested on my watch, but at this moment, I heard the man's voice again.
"I guess you are thinking of using the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun you brought from Dr. Agasa to knock me out, and then notify your companions?"
"But don't waste your time. With your current body condition, I can knock you out before you make a sound while I'm on guard. Then I'll tell Mr. Maori that I'll take care of you. Once things here are over, I can just arrange an accident to kill you, your beloved girlfriend, and Mr. Maori."
"Ah! By the way, there are also all your relatives and friends who know about this, such as your parents, the black boy in Osaka, the doctor and Shirley who live near your house... It's really a bit troublesome. Even for an organization, it's very troublesome to kill so many people at the same time."
"But it's just a little trouble. Now, it's time for you to faint, Kudo Shinichi!"
In the corridor, Colin, who looked like a villain boss, stopped and reached out his hand towards Conan with a cold face.
On the other side, Conan, who had not found a suitable opportunity to escape, gritted his teeth, leaned back, opened his mouth to shout, and at the same time, his hand, which had been on the firing button of the watch-shaped anesthetic gun, suddenly pressed it and fired towards Colin.
call out!
There was a slight sound of breaking through the air, and the anesthetic needle was easily caught by Colin between two fingers. He was about to shout, but no sound came out because his throat was instantly strangled.
As he watched the anesthetic needle that had been fired earlier gradually piercing towards him and frantically thinking of a way to break the impasse, the hand that was strangling his neck suddenly loosened, and the anesthetic needle that had already touched his skin was turned over and handed to him.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he looked at Colin who was walking towards Uncle Maori and Xiaolan with his hands in his pockets, and he strode after him.
"You are not from the organization?"
Although this conclusion is incredible, it is the only reasonable reason at present.
"Of course not. Did I say I was a member of the fake wine organization?" Colin raised his eyebrows.
"Then how do you know so much?" Conan asked immediately.
There is no way to ignore this kind of thing.
"This is a little hard to explain, just assume that I have a secret intelligence channel."
"Also, you don't have to worry about me. I have nothing to do with the organization you are investigating, and they are not qualified to send me there."
"Just be clear that I have no ill will towards you, Mr. Maori, or your sister Xiaolan."
Colin answered with a smile and teased Conan, which instantly made him feel much better after he failed to take a photo because Conan prevented him from doing so.
Conan listened, nodded, and did not ask any more questions. He changed the subject and said, "Even if you are not a member of the organization, you must know a lot of information about the organization. Can you tell me?"
"I don't know much, actually. Of course, there must be some things you don't know yet."
"However, now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about this. I'll tell you after you've dealt with the matter at hand."
Colin stopped and looked ahead toward the late Queen's room.
He himself didn't care whether to tell Conan about this, but it wouldn't be long before the time came for him to confront Duke Girard, and if Conan couldn't get the evidence by then, that was something he didn't want to see.
Thanks to the lovely male guest for the 200-point tip.
