Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro tidied up the tie of his white suit very handsomely and raised his hand to hail a taxi on the roadside.

As he got into the car, Mouri Kogoro showed a seductive look in his eyes.

"Miss Yoko~"

"I'm coming~"

After saying that, Mouri Kogoro dived in.

The "Conan" next to him shook off his signature disdainful look and got on the bus.

The taxi passed by the roadside, and the two people in the car did not see Conan standing on the sidewalk with a confused look on his face.

Conan's eyes widened and he looked at the taxi driving away in disbelief.

What's happening here?

What's going on with that "I"?

Why does that "Conan" live in the office and is still with Uncle Mouri...

Beep--

Conan Leng Shen stood there, and the vehicles waiting at the zebra crossing were already a little impatient and began to whistle to urge them.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo picked up Conan from the waist and took him to the other side of the road first.

Across the street, Qin Zhibo put Conan on the ground, and Conan's brain finally came to a conclusion.

"It's a fake!"

"Then someone must be impersonating me!"

Since his body became smaller, fake Kudo Shinichi often appear on the market, such as Hattori Heiji version and Kaito Kidd version.

But this is indeed the first time someone is pretending to be Conan.

Conan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and pretended to be Kudo Shinichi. He even pretended to be an elementary school student himself.

Are you leaving a way for people to survive?

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan's reaction, thinking about what Conan said as a "fake", and couldn't help but frown.

Although the disguise in this world can be exactly the same as the person's, height is always an insurmountable obstacle.

Neither Kuroba Toichi nor Belmod could disguise themselves as Conan just because of their height difference.

Unless the legs are amputated.

or……

Qin Zhibo thought of another possibility, that is, the person pretending to be Conan is not a human, but Mi-GO.

Mi-Go does not use the art of disguise, but the art of camouflage.

This technique is more advanced than disguise, and can imitate the target's entire body, including height.

But if it is MI-Go, human language and facial expressions are a big problem.

Even Mi-Go like Mr. Clock, who often mixes in human society, is not very skilled in making facial expressions and can feel a little stiff.

This is because when MI-Go disguises itself as a human and makes facial expressions, it needs to use the short tentacles on the ellipsoidal head to control the internal contacts of the biochemical doll.

There are not many human facial expressions that can be disguised in this way, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and no expression, that's all.

However, "Conan's" perfunctory and contemptuous expression just now was a very complicated expression for Mi-Go.

Even after spending so long with Mr. Clock, Qin Zhibo has never seen him use a similar expression.

Are there any masters in the Mi-Go family?

This reminded Qin Zhibo of the Mi-Go that stole from Dr. Ali's house. Like Mr. Clock, it should have often wandered into human society.

Could it be it?

But why is he pretending to be "Conan"? What's the purpose?

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Conan next to him said in a serious tone.

"Let's stop fighting first and work together to figure out the identity of the 'fake'. What do you think?"

At this time, Conan submitted an armistice agreement to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was startled for a moment. It was really not easy for Conan to show weakness once.

"Okay~"

Qin Zhibo looked very talkative and didn't care about Conan.

After all, who cares about children?

…

The two hit it off immediately and decided to work together to figure out the mystery of "Conan".

According to what Kogoro Mouri said just now, they were going to attend an international banquet hosted by the Kingdom of Vespania's mission in Japan.

Due to the recent discovery of unknown ores, the Kingdom of Vespania has gained a lot of attention internationally and has become the target of many non-neutral countries.

It's just that Conan has never heard of the Kingdom of Vespagna's mission to Japan and the fact that Kogoro Mori was invited to attend the banquet tonight.

Could it be that he was invited temporarily when he was at school during the day?

Conan thought this was very possible because he didn't see Mao Lilan following him.

Wednesday is the weekly training day for the Didan High School Karate Club. Except for illness and final exam review, Mao Lilan is almost never absent.

Therefore, if you want to expose the conspiracy of the fake "Conan", you must go to the international banquet and take a look.

It's just that Qin Zhibo is now wearing a brown windbreaker, which is still stained with dust that cannot be shaken off, and Conan's body smells of sour garbage.

If the two of them wanted to attend a formal banquet with this appearance, the guards at the door would not be able to get through.

"Let's go to uncle's office and change into clean clothes first..."

…

At Conan's suggestion, the two came to the third floor of the Mori Detective Agency.

Conan took out the door key on a string that a primary school student carries with him and opened the door. There was no one inside, and the living room with the lights off was only dimly lit by the street.

Qin Zhibo stood in the living room and glanced at the house of Mouri Kogoro's house. The layout was similar to the third floor of his office, but the layout was switched from north to south.

"come here."

Amid Conan's greeting, Qin Zhibo came to Mouri Kogoro's room, which was also the room where Conan laid the floor.

There is only one large wardrobe in the room, which can be used by two people.

Conan opened the cabinet above the wardrobe and said, "These are Uncle Maori's clothes. You can choose whatever you want."

After saying that, he opened the chest of drawers under the wardrobe. There were several blue classic skins neatly stacked inside, as well as three or two pieces of casual wear.

Next to these clothes, there are Mouri Kogoro's swimming trunks, trousers, and socks.

So it's not that the Maori family is reluctant to buy Conan clothes after receiving 10 million in child support, but that Conan's wardrobe is too small and there is really no space for it.

Qin Zhibo glanced at Mouri Kogoro's wardrobe. It was almost filled with dark blue suits, which were the work clothes that Mouri Kogoro often wore.

However, Qin Zhibo finally chose a black suit. He vaguely remembered that Kogoro Mori had worn this suit before.

Since Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro have similar figures, Moori Kogoro's black suit fits them perfectly.

Conan quickly changed into a classic blue suit.

Conan threw all the changed clothes into the washing machine in the toilet.

However, Conan sniffed his wrists and body again, and could still vaguely smell a sour smell on his body.

It will definitely be too late to boil water for a bath at this time.

So Conan pushed open the door of Mao Lilan's room, jumped to the bookshelf, and took down the bottle of perfume on it.

Conan took the perfume and sprayed it on several key places on his body, then carefully put it back away.

Mao Lilan rarely uses perfume. This bottle of perfume was a birthday gift from Fei Yingli, so Mao Lilan uses it with great care and only uses it on important occasions and when she meets Fei Yingli.

Qin Zhibo took a look at Mao Lilan's boudoir. It was clean and tidy, the colors were simple, and there were not many elements in a girl's life.

On the desk, he saw something familiar.

It was a metal disk, standing on the table with the support of a bracket, with a twisted five-pointed star engraved on the surface.

This is an old seal that Qin Zhibo found in the Arkham boutique. In order to help Mao Lilan avoid the harassment of the King in Yellow, he gave it to Mao Lilan.

Qin Zhibo murmured in his heart, he hasn't thrown it away yet...

It has been some time since the King in Yellow incident. Apart from the role of the old seal itself, this metal disc is actually quite ugly as an ornament, but Mao Lilan still preserves it carefully.

This moved Qin Zhibo a little. How did the Maori couple educate such good children?

…

After changing clothes, it was time to find out where the banquet would be held.
