"The reporter came to the Tokyo Tower in Minato City tonight..."

"The Tanabata stargazing event is currently being held here at Tokyo Tower. Thousands of astronomy enthusiasts gathered here to observe the 'wandering planets'..."

A news program is playing on the TV in the room.

Conan was packing his schoolbag for school tomorrow and holding the phone on his shoulder.

"Okay, Ayumi..."

"I know, I will never be late tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Conan looked helpless and thought to himself: Really, it's not the first day of school.

Strictly speaking, he may be the strongest elementary school repeater in history...

Conan was packing up when he suddenly found that an exercise book was missing from his schoolbag.

I searched the living room and bedroom but couldn't find it, so I went to the kitchen.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you know where my math homework is?"

Xiaolan was preparing ingredients on the workbench. She glanced at Conan and said, "Go downstairs and see if there is anything in dad's office..."

"oh."

Conan pushed open the door and followed the steps to the second floor, where Kogoro Mori usually worked and died.

He raised his hand and turned the door handle. It was dark inside.

Conan took advantage of the light from the streetlight outside the window and started searching in the office without turning on the light.

"exercise book……"

"It should be in these drawers, right?"

Conan opened a drawer, which was very messy, including case materials, miscellaneous items, etc.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Found it~"

In Okino Yoko's photo album, there is his math homework book.

Conan grinned and smiled helplessly.

This uncle is really...

It seems like we are going to play mahjong all night outside tonight, right?

Bang.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound outside the office door.

Conan turned to look at the door and asked doubtfully: "Is it Sister Xiaolan?"

There was silence in the air, and no one answered.

So he walked out of the office again and came to the stairs in the corridor.

I glanced up and down, but there was still no one there.

Seeing this, Conan relaxed and smiled, "I must have heard wrongly..."

He returned to the office again, closed the door, and turned around, when a big hand suddenly pressed his mouth from behind.

"Long time no see, Kudo Shinichi..."

"No, I should call you Edogawa Conan now, right?"

The man's gloomy voice was filled with murderous intent.

Conan, whose mouth was covered, took a closer look and saw that what was in front of him was Gin!

Gin squatted in front of Conan, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and his dark green pupils between snow-white hair stared at him closely.

"I didn't expect you to turn into a kid and still be alive..."

As he spoke, Gin held Conan's cheek with one hand and slowly stood up.

Behind him, Vodka put his hands in his pockets and sneered: "Huh, that's really surprising."

Conan struggled hard, but his two hands were on one of Gin's big hands like a fly shaking a tree, and it had no effect at all.

With his feet dangling in the air, he couldn't kick anything to free himself.

Why?

Why was my identity exposed?

Conan struggled and thought to himself.

But at this moment, Mao Lilan's voice came from the corridor outside the door.

"Conan?"

"Is it Conan? What's wrong?"

Conan's eyes suddenly changed, and he tried desperately to stop Mao Lilan with a muffled sound from the depth of his throat.

However, Mao Lilan continued to walk towards the office.

"Conan, I seem to hear something?"

"Are you there? Conan..."

The frosted glass on the door of the office showed a figure with horns on his head, and Mao Lilan was standing at the door.

Gin smiled evilly, grabbed Conan and took two steps back.

Vodka took out his pistol and slowly came to the door, ready to shoot.

While forcing Conan's body to face the door, Gin whispered in Conan's ear, "Watch carefully what will happen to those who are involved with you..."

"Hmph..."

As the door of the office was slowly pushed open, Mao Lilan stuck his head into the office.

But what greeted her was a black muzzle pressed against her forehead.

Conan kept twisting his body in Gin's hands, trying to get out of control, while making "eng", "eng" sounds from the bottom of his throat.

Xiaolan!

Xiaolan!

…

"Xiaolan!"

"Xiaolan——!"

Conan suddenly woke up from the bed, gritted his teeth, and looked like he had just experienced something terrible.

He propped himself up and stared at the ceiling in astonishment for several seconds before taking a few deep breaths.

Everything that just happened was...

"Huh...huh..."

There was a steady sound of snoring next to him. Conan turned his head to the left and saw Mouri Kogoro sleeping soundly on the bed.

Conan, who was still in shock, finally realized that he had just had a nightmare.

"hateful……"

"To have such a dream."

Fortunately, it's just a dream...

Conan didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed, he could only smile with relief, and helplessly touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

Even though Gin has been dead for a long time, I can still dream about him...

It shows how much I fear gin from the bottom of my heart.

But why didn't I realize it was a dream earlier?

Obviously there are many flaws in the dream, but the dreamer himself is unable to realize it.

For example, the most obvious thing is that Gin's hair is golden, not white...

"call……"

Conan breathed a long sigh of relief, lay down again, and put his hands behind his head.

After experiencing this nightmare, he couldn't sleep for a short period of time, and his restless brain cells began to think.

Although you are the one who dreams, the logic in the dream is not completely under your control.

For example, your identity may have been exposed in reality, but not in this way.

When he was in London, Kuroba Kaito, who used the identity of "Kudo Shinichi", attended that aristocratic dinner and left his name.

This led to the other party kidnapping Mao Lilan and asking Kudo Shinichi to come and save her.

As for why the other party asked Kudo Shinichi, Conan also heard about it from Kuroba Kaito on the way back to Japan by plane.

It turned out that after they separated from him on Vauxhall Bridge, he still used the identity of Kudo Shinichi, which caused the other party to equate "Kudo Shinichi" with "Kaitou Kid".

What the other party is looking for is actually Kaitou Kidd.

For Conan, this was an unforeseen disaster.

However, this does not mean that the situation between himself, Xiaolan and others is absolutely safe.

On the one hand, the news that Kudo Shinichi is still alive has indeed been exposed to the enemy.

This enemy also includes black organizations.

It's just that the organization doesn't know yet that Kudo Shinichi has become smaller and turned into Conan.
To be continued...
