Chapter 88 Kudo Natsuichi
Zhu Fujingguang walked alone in the forest with a flashlight.

Just now, he hugged Xia He in mid-air, thinking that he would be able to see Kidd’s true face this time, but he didn’t expect… the other party would turn around and punch him right on the jaw.

That punch was so fast, accurate and fierce that it completely caught him off guard.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Fu Jingguang felt a black screen in front of his eyes and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already in the dense forest.

He looked up at the moonlight above his head, then glanced at the time on his mobile phone – twelve o’clock noon.

I was unconscious for less than an hour and a half.

And obviously, an hour and a half was enough for Kidd to escape from Osaka to Nagoya.

“Did Kidd escape?”

He sighed to himself.

Now, how long will it take before I can meet him again?
……

“Hey, what’s going on?”

After getting off the plane at Tokyo Airport, Xia He received a call from Kuroba Kaito.

“I’m still in Osaka,” Kaito said.

“So what?” Xia He was stunned.

“There are police everywhere blocking my way. I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to Tokyo in the short term.”

“Are you calling me for help?”

“No, I just want to ask… can you do me a favor?”

“You said.”

“Return a favor for me.”

Xia He: “?”

……

Two o’clock in the morning.

Downstairs of Maori Office.

Xia He, disguised as Kudo Shinichi, stood at the door.

Rain kept falling from the sky, soaking his hair and clothes.

That was the school uniform of Teitan High School. He stopped by the Shinichi family and “took it” out.

In addition, he also changed the length of his bones, reducing his height from 187cm to about 174cm.

It has to be said that shortening one’s bones… is indeed a very painful thing.

At least during this process, even though Xia He tried to control himself, he couldn’t help but hum several times.

However, after successfully changing his height and body shape, he became more curious, that is… to what extent can his bones be reduced?

Is it possible to shrink directly from an adult to an elementary school student like Conan?

But he just thought about it and immediately put it behind him.

What a joke! Being shortened by ten centimeters is already painful enough for him. Who would be willing to try to shrink to the size of a primary school student?
Unless you have serious M tendencies…

Shaking his head, he walked up the stairs and gently pushed open the door of the detective agency.

……

Just like in the original storyline.

Shinichi, who has been forced into a desperate situation because of his own “recklessness”, is planning to have a showdown with Xiaolan.

But at this critical moment, Xia He pushed the door and walked in.

“Xiaolan, it’s so late, why haven’t you slept yet?”

“Shinichi?!”

Xiaolan’s eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. “Are you really Shinichi?” she asked.

“What kind of question is that? Who else could I be but Shinichi?” Xia He imitated Kudo Shinichi’s tone and demeanor. “I heard that you were involved in a case, so I rushed back to see you. I didn’t expect you to not recognize me…”

“Idiot! Where have you been all this time? Why haven’t you contacted me?” Seeing the person she had been thinking about day and night suddenly appear in front of her, Xiaolan could no longer control her emotions. She rushed forward and questioned Xia He with tears in her eyes.

“I’m sorry, there are just too many cases and it takes time to deal with them…” Xia He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

As expected, when Xiaolan saw Shinichi’s appearance, her anger immediately disappeared.

Her eyes swept over Xia He’s wet hair and shoulders, “Wait a moment, I’ll get you a towel!”

After saying that, he ran upstairs in a hurry.

“Hu~~”

Seeing this, Xia He let out a long sigh, and then took advantage of the time when Xiaolan was looking for a towel for him to leave the office.

At the same time, Conan, who witnessed the whole process, rushed out of the room and chased after Xia He’s back.

……

Who is that guy?
Why would he pretend to be me?
Yes……

It must be Kidd!
He came to my rescue because I took care of his injured pigeon.

Conan, who had figured everything out, ran into the rain and looked at Xia He who was standing on the side of the road and said, “Hey, Kidd, I have a question… How did you manage to get on the cruise ship by using Xia He’s identity?”

“Well…” Xia He didn’t expect Conan to ask him such a question, but seeing that the other party didn’t seem to see the clues, he couldn’t help but smile, “You should ask him this question yourself.”

After he finished speaking, Xia He slowly walked into the shadow under the tree, and then disappeared from the spot strangely as if he had teleported.

The pigeon magic performed by Kaito in the original plot was naturally something he learned from Kuroba Toichi.

But since he didn’t raise a large number of pigeons like Kuroba Kaito, he could only temporarily perform other visual dislocation magic to maintain the image of Kaito Kid.

On the street, looking at the road that suddenly became empty, Conan was a little dazed for a moment.

Xiaolan, who had chased down from the office building, was now standing behind Conan blankly, holding a brand new shirt and towel, with a lost look on her face.

the other side.

“Hey, you owe that brat a favor, now you have to transfer it to me.”

After turning the corner of the alley, Xia He called Kuroba Kaito again and said this.

……

The next day.

“Xia He, when did you come back?” Yuanzi ran to Xia He’s house early in the morning and asked him worriedly.

“I flew back yesterday morning.” Xia He replied, “It’s strange. I went to bed early the night before, but when I woke up, it was already nine o’clock the next night. I wanted to call you, but I didn’t know where my phone was. I had no choice but to catch a plane and went straight back home. Fortunately, my wallet was still with me, otherwise I would have had to run to the nearby police station to call the police for help.”

When Sonoko heard this, her first reaction was that Xia He was drugged by Kid.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” She covered her chest with her hands, still frightened.

Conan, who had also followed at some point, stood behind the sofa and said, “Kid will not kill anyone.”

“Really?” Sonoko blinked.

“As for whether he is good at drugging, I’m not sure.” Conan added.

Xia He: “.”

……

same moment.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Shiratori Jinzaburo, who had just returned from a trip to Karuizawa, pushed open the door of the interrogation room with his bag on his back.

Megure Jusan and Takagi Wataru, who were sitting at the table interrogating Pu Siqinglan, greeted him with a smile on their faces: “Hey, Shiratori, good morning. It’s thanks to you that we were able to catch the criminal this time.”

Shiratori Renzaburo: “?”
