Conan's other self

Chapter 18 Familiar Strangers (2)

"However, Xiaoxin, you are too silent, please give me some reaction~" Yukiko Kudo sat on the sofa in the suite, leaned next to Fengyuan, reached out her hand and pinched Fengyuan's face, "Quick, call mom, listen. listen."

Feng Yuan chose to remain silent in order to refuse.

If the original Kudo Shinichi was not here, and it was the senior time travellers he had read about, he would probably be able to shout out naturally.

But he felt a little awkward.

Dr. Ali tries to save him.

"Haha, this Shinichi is subconscious," Dr. Ali patted his head, "It's normal for me to be a little alienated from you."

But the rescue failed.

Hearing this, Kudo Yukiko's eyes suddenly brightened, "Yes, subconscious... Doesn't that mean," she turned sideways and pressed Fengyuan's shoulders with both hands, "This Xiaoxin has never called me Where’s mom!”

"No wonder you are so shy! Really, Xiaoxin! Don't be so alienated from your mother! Just call me, okay? Xiaoxin~?"

There is no escape.

Maplehara gave a slight hint in his mind that he was Kudo Shinichi, and the emotion from before came back a little. This finally allowed him to shout awkwardly.

that's enough.

Kudo Yukiko's eyes were filled with joy, as if it was the first time she heard someone call her that.

Maple Principle breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kudo Yusaku was not such a person.

Thanks to Kudo Yukiko's mediation, the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

Feng Yuan's "subconscious" setting saved him a lot of trouble. Kudo Yukiko didn't care at all about Maplehara's completely different personality from Shinichi in her memory, and even found it very interesting. She seemed to completely believe in Maplehara's identity as "Kudo Shinichi's subconscious".

But Kudo Yusaku obviously didn't believe it so easily.

It is very difficult for people to believe that a person not only shrinks but also becomes two, especially for Kudo Yusaku, who tends to be rational.

But at least at this moment, he won't spoil his wife's interest.

There is always endless talk between family members who have not seen each other for a long time, not to mention such a "strange" situation.

From what happened after becoming smaller, to talking about interesting things in the new hour, until even the most excited Kudo Yukiko couldn't help but yawn, everyone decided to go to bed.

Although Dr. Ali, who had just woken up, was not sleepy at all, he still went to get a room again. Fengyuan insisted on rejecting Yukiko's proposal to sleep with her and ran away with Dr. Agasa.

Yukiko's intimacy was a bit overwhelming for him.

Watching Maplehara and Dr. Agasa walk to the elevator, Kudo Yukiko closed the door.

"Honey~" Yukiko called sweetly, but Kudo Yusaku was keenly aware of the danger signal. As he expected, Yukiko put on an unhappy expression in an instant, "You just mentioned Shinichi when he was a child. Was it intentional?"

"cough--"

"Really!" Yukiko Kudo said dissatisfied, "I told you he must be Xiaoxin. I knew it the first time I saw him."

"If the identification results——"

"Then the identification was wrong."

"...What about that kid Conan?"

Before this, the couple had already learned about the specific situation of the two children from Dr. Agasa. Since Conan's personality was basically consistent with the original Kudo Shinichi, they were more inclined to believe that Conan was Shinichi.

"Of course it's Shinichi," Kudo Yukiko said as she walked towards the bedroom. "Dr. Agasa, didn't he say that one is the subconscious and the other is the conscious mind? Shinichi took the medicine and became two people."

"Anyway!" After a pause, Kudo Yukiko continued, "You are not allowed to test Xiaoxin anymore! Subconscious...he hasn't experienced his own life in so many years, has he? If it weren't for the splitting of the drug, he would definitely have no choice but to A lifetime of silently watching the other person live the life he expected..."

"It's obviously so heart-wrenching, yet someone's identity is still being questioned by a certain father... It's really..."

Kudo Yukiko glanced sideways at Kudo Yusaku, and Kudo Yusaku chose to submit.

As a mystery novelist, he believes more in "rational" and "scientific" things. Compared to the emotional Kudo Yukiko, he still believes in evidence more.

In the previous test, the child answered the questions that only a few of them should know without any hesitation... But despite this, the differences in personality and wording habits still made him suspicious.

Of course, if one person becomes two people, these differences can be explained.

So the key lies in DNA identification.

Just wait a few more hours and the expedited report will come out. Therefore, there is no need to draw conclusions now.

After coaxing Yukiko, who had been in a state of "brain-restoring", Kudo Yusaku fell asleep with his thoughts.

Then a few hours later, I was woken up by a gentle knock on the door.

Glancing at the sleeping Yukiko, Kudo Yusaku stood up, put on his coat, opened the door, and saw Dr. Agasa waiting outside with a laptop in his arms.

After walking in and closing the door, Dr. Ari couldn't wait to open the screen of his laptop. The screen lit up, and what caught Kudo Yusaku's eyes was an email.

The expedited appraisal report is also attached.

Kudo Yusaku didn't know what kind of "expectations" he had when he opened the email. In fact, from Dr. Agasa's expression and reaction, he had vaguely guessed the result.

This is obviously a big impact on his worldview - but for a rational enough person, no matter how unbelievable it is, as long as there is sufficient evidence, he can believe it.

At the table, he clicked on the appraisal report.

Dr. A Li watched quietly from the side.

Kudo Shinichi has really become two people.

Kudo Yusaku was silent for a while, digesting this "fact". Then he looked up. He also needed a "piece of the puzzle."

"Dr. Agasa, can you tell me the specific process of obtaining Shinichi's hair?"

This is an important part of rigorous reasoning. But Dr. Ali felt that this was like a final struggle.

As he recounted what happened yesterday, he reflected on his feelings. He didn't know exactly what he was feeling...it was a little complicated, and he felt like the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

But no matter what, since Xiaokong is really Shinichi, then... it should still be possible to live with him?

On the other side, after listening to Dr. Agasa’s story, Kudo Yusaku let out a long breath.

"Thank you very much, doctor, for helping us such a big help." Kudo Yusaku said. For safety reasons, their names were not marked on the samples sent for identification, but finding a trustworthy place that could expedite the identification in such a tight time really relied on Dr. Ali's connections.

"It's okay, I'm curious too." Dr. Ali touched his head, "There is such a wonderful drug in the world. It can not only make people smaller, but also turn one person into two people..."

"Shinichi's situation may also be a special case." Kudo Yusaku pointed out. Dr. A Li also told him the conversation when the men in black gave Shinichi the medicine. It is not difficult to deduce from the conversation that those people thought the drug was fatal.

"Yeah..." Dr. A Li agreed. Maybe it was because Shinichi had been schizophrenic a long time ago? Speaking of which, he actually never noticed..., "Well... Yusaku, have you thought about what to do next?
