This time, Conan did not hesitate and walked directly to the masked man lying on the sofa.
Not long ago, he had just heard from this person that they were going to secretly deal with him to keep him away from the Organization. He was very curious to know what the true face under the other's mask looked like.
And then, the moment he held his breath and lifted the other's mask, he was shocked again, to the point of almost having a cardiac arrest!
How could the man under the mask be his dad?!
No, that's not right. His dad should be in the United States right now. It's impossible for him to be here!
Conan seemed to have thought of something. He quickly looked with a hostile expression at the "himself" behind him, who was showing a smile that was not quite a smile, wanting to know if this was a prank deliberately set up by the other party.
Although he had only known this man for less than an hour, Conan could already see his unreliable personality.
If this was really deliberately designed by the other party, it would, on the contrary, seem normal.
Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This expression was indeed the most wonderful expression he had seen on Conan's face tonight.
"It seems you really don't watch your father's works much," Miyauchi Hikage shook his head. "Have you still not discovered that his getup is exactly the same as that of the most famous 'Night Baron' from your father's novels? This is the biggest flaw your father left for you."
Hearing this, Conan suddenly reacted. There really was such a famous character in his father's novels.
The expression on his face instantly became bewildered.
Could it be that the person sleeping soundly on the sofa right now is really his own father?
Then why did he kidnap me?
"By the way, if you tear off that woman's face, you will see your old mom's appearance. It's just that both of them have been put to sleep by me with a special method right now, and they probably won't wake up until tomorrow morning," Miyauchi Hikage unhesitatingly exposed the Kudo couple's plan.
Conan was now even more doubtful of his life.
My old mom is also involved?
They all know about me shrinking?
So all of this was just a prank deliberately set up by my own parents?
To put on a fierce appearance to kidnap him and throw him in this broken place to put psychological pressure on him, is this something normal parents would do?
"Because they want to tell you that the organization that turned you into this state can really do this kind of thing," Miyauchi Hikage shook his head and continued.
"Having a strong curiosity for all mysteries is your strength, and also the reason I invited you to join my team. But at the same time, an overly strong curiosity is also your biggest weakness. You're really not worried about your identity being noticed, are you? If I let you turn back into Kudo Shinichi now, are you going to just go back to school normally as if nothing had happened?"
Miyauchi Hikage walked in front of Conan, looking down at him with Kudo Shinichi's face.
"The person who fed you that poison, the organization behind him is a huge transnational criminal organization. For decades, the governments of various countries have been trying to infiltrate this organization and figure out their purpose. But until now, those countries have not been able to figure out what that organization really wants to do."
"You know your father's identity. Besides being a mystery writer, he is also an excellent detective with acquaintances in various countries around the world. His understanding of that organization should be much more than yours now."
"Do you know that because they haven't found your body, your current status on that organization's drug list is not 'deceased' but 'unknown'? They are still looking for Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts, and even secretly search your house. If they investigate and find that your childhood clothes have been moved recently, what do you think they will think?"
"At that time, Kudo Shinichi, everyone around you will be implicated by you, and even killed!"
"I think your parents must have appeared in front of you in this way because they thought of this possibility. This is both a test and a reminder for you."
After harshly grilling Conan and watching his helpless appearance, Miyauchi Hikage's mood improved a lot.
After letting Conan reflect on himself for a few minutes, Miyauchi Hikage continued.
"Of course, you don't have to worry. I'm relatively clear on the situation of that organization. I have arrangements for all these things. As long as you don't court death again yourself, no one will notice you in the short term."
"If we cooperate happily in the future, I can also slowly tell you the information about that organization."
"But you should still use the tranquilizer watch as little as possible in the future. The Sleeping Kogoro... this kind of title itself is very easy to attract others' attention. It would be better for you to just have a showdown with your big sister Ran, tell her your identity, and let her take the initiative to cooperate with you and become your spokesperson."
"I..." Conan hesitated, still unwilling to let Ran come into contact with these dangers.
Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear these things.
At the same time, he was muttering in his heart: Still struggling, are you? One of these days when you have a cold, I'll lock you and Ran in a room together, and then stuff a bottle of strong liquor into your mouth. Let's see how you can argue then.
"Anyway, you've figured out the situation now. Whether you directly expose your parents' test and have a showdown with them to make your thoughts clear, or play along and prank them back, that's something you should consider yourself."
"As for my affairs..."
Before Miyauchi Hikage could finish, Conan took the initiative to speak up. "This is a cooperation between you and me. I will not reveal your affairs. If they notice the abnormality tonight, I will tell them that you, like me, are a victim of that organization and are secretly assisting me."
Regardless of how much truth there was in his "savior" claim, this matter was clearly more unsuitable for the people around him to know than the Black Organization.
Seeing Conan's reaction, Miyauchi Hikage nodded with satisfaction.
"Then in the future, if I need to find you, Jerry will appear in front of you. You should know what to do then," Miyauchi Hikage said, and at the same time, extended his hand to Conan. "I can't tell you my real name at the moment. As for a title, you can temporarily call me 'Tom'."
"I hope you can change your face the next time we meet," Conan shook hands with "himself," feeling a bit of dissonance.
"That's a real pity. There are quite a lot of people in this world who have the same face as you. Among the people I'm paying attention to, there is one person who looks exactly like you except for the hairstyle. Even his voice is not much different."
"According to my estimation, that person will probably appear in front of you not long after. And at that time, he might even directly borrow your identity to appear in front of others. If you can't get used to it, your future will probably not be too pleasant."
Conan looked at the Tom in front of him with great suspicion. The person he was talking about wasn't himself, was it?
