Chapter 474 The Heartless Shinichi Kudo 1
Chapter 474 The Heartless Shinichi Kudo 1
After greeting Professor Agasa, the children turned their attention to Shinichi Kudo.
"Hey, big brother, you look familiar..."
When he saw the children's eyes turn to him, Shinichi Kudo felt a little embarrassed, as if things had changed since they last met.
Seeing the children frowning in thought, Shinichi Kudo finally took the initiative to introduce them.
"Hello, I am Shinichi Kudo."
The children relaxed, looking at Shinichi Kudo with surprise and delight.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Ran's boyfriend, the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo!"
Shinichi Kudo gave a somewhat awkward smile.
If it's just a compliment that he's a famous detective, that's fine; he accepts it readily.
But when it came to Ran Mouri's boyfriend, he became unusually shy.
He hasn't told Ran Mouri that he's recovered yet, because he's waiting to give her a surprise.
"Ahem, yes, yes."
After all, the children only knew Conan and didn't have much in common with Shinichi Kudo. After a brief chat, they turned to look at Professor Agasa.
Qi Ming and Shiho Miyano also came over. When Shinichi Kudo saw this, he took a deep breath, waved and smiled.
"It's been so long since I've seen Brother Qi Ming."
Whether it was nervousness or habit, Shinichi Kudo still spoke in a strained voice.
Therefore, both Qi Ming and Shiho Miyano couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Qi Ming glanced at Shiho Miyano out of the corner of his eye. Why didn't his girl inherit her playful way of speaking after she grew up?
Oh, maybe it's because they all use the same voice actor.
Shiho Miyano glanced back at Qi Ming, guessing what he was thinking, and said in an annoyed tone.
“I would never talk like that.”
"Do you believe I can make you talk like that?"
"...I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Shinichi Kudo looked at the two of them with a blank expression, not knowing what they were talking about.
However, there was one thing he knew.
I feel a slightly electric glow on my body right now.
After a while, Qi Ming stopped joking with Shiho Miyano and looked at Shinichi Kudo.
"Alright, you're making me feel a bit disgusted. Take away the word 'brother' from your name."
With Qi Ming's reminder, Shinichi Kudo realized that his tone was inappropriate and immediately scratched his head embarrassedly to change the subject.
"Okay, okay, Brother Qi Ming, who is this lady next to you...?"
"Uh, sorry, I asked a stupid question."
Shinichi Kudo always felt that his brain wasn't as sharp as it had become as he grew up.
Now, Qi Ming also had a strange feeling when he saw Shinichi Kudo.
The grown-up Shinichi Kudo inexplicably looked much kinder.
What brings you here today?
Shinichi Kudo glanced back at the children who were chatting well with Professor Agasa and replied softly.
"I'm dropping out of school. You can see how I am now. I've taken my medication. It's impossible for me to stay here as Conan anymore."
Seeing that Shinichi Kudo had come for the same reason, Qi Ming couldn't help but sigh and said with a sad expression.
"Oh, you heartless person! You just throw away the bonds we shared like that? What do you take your old friends for?"
"..."
Shiho Miyano suddenly had the feeling that Qi Ming was making veiled criticisms.
No, she took it personally; Qi Ming was definitely not talking about herself.
Meanwhile, a child and Professor Agasa asked them what they were doing there.
After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Agasa sighed and told them the answer.
The three of them, including Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, froze, their faces instantly falling down, just like before.
"Conan is transferring schools too? Waaaaaah!"
"Um, don't cry, Conan is just... oh dear."
Seeing that Professor Agasa was having some trouble handling the situation, Shinichi Kudo quickly stepped forward to help explain.
However, the more they explained, the louder the children cried.
Although Ai Haibara transferred schools, Shiho Miyano said that they could run into each other again no matter what.
But Professor Agasa said that Conan flew to America with his parents and might never come back. No, maybe that should be removed.
"Ugh."
Qi Ming glanced at Shinichi Kudo, who was still explaining, and then leaned forward to hand him a red and white pill.
"I'm too kind-hearted; I can't bear to see people suffer. Here, take this. If you feel bad about it, you can eat it later when you have the chance."
"Ok?"
Shinichi Kudo looked at the pill in his hand in confusion, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he almost dropped the capsule on the ground.
It feels so familiar. Wasn't it all thanks to this medicine that I shrunk back then?
"Brother Qi Ming, please stop teasing me, okay? All I want to do right now is live a peaceful life and solve cases occasionally."
"You talk as if you didn't go through this before."
"..."
Shinichi Kudo chooses to stop arguing with Qi Ming.
The three children are still crying, with Genta sobbing uncontrollably.
"Conan is such a bad friend! How could he just transfer schools like that? I've never heard him mention it before!"
"We all made plans to go out together, but he just left all by himself, waaaaaah!"
Shinichi Kudo was speechless in the face of Genta's condemnation.
He knew that all three children were very good, but there was nothing he could do. Conan's life was not his own, and he had to return to his own life.
Qi Ming stopped watching the scene unfold and walked into the school gate with his arm around Shiho Miyano's waist.
"Look at this kid, he's so heartless, abandoning his friend and running away. Oh dear, what a tragedy."
Shinichi Kudo felt as if an invisible blade had pierced his chest.
He glanced at the still-crying children, pondered for a moment, and then silently walked into the school gate.
"..."
Professor Agasa was dumbfounded when he saw Shinichi Kudo leaving.
No, this pot is yours, why did you leave me here to deal with it?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Because the children's crying was so loud, many passersby had stopped to watch.
Dr. Agasa felt that if he couldn't find a reason to explain himself, he would be on tomorrow's news.
A strange man in a white coat tried to abduct a child at the school gate but failed, and then made the child cry.
"Um, children, please don't cry. I... sigh..."
Just as Professor Agasa was feeling a bit overwhelmed by his own limited abilities, a phone suddenly rang.
"Ok?"
Ayumi felt her shirt pocket vibrate. She wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes and took her phone out of her pocket.
The phone screen lit up and showed Conan's call.
"It's Conan calling!"
As soon as the call connected, Conan's greeting came through the phone.
Inside the wall behind the three children, Shinichi Kudo, using a voice changer and switching to Conan's voice, comforted them.
After pretending to agree with them to come back and visit often, Shinichi Kudo hung up the phone and put the voice changer back in his pocket.
I feel like this action is strangely familiar.
He used to use a voice changer to hide it from Xiaolan, but now he's using it to hide it from his former friends.
Alas, sin.
