Chapter 3 Maple Plains
Kudou Shin's clothes were all the same when he was a child. Sora chose a set that looked newer and put it on, then walked out with the other one in his arms.
When he walked down the stairs, Kudo Shinichi was looking at his father Kudo Yusaku's old glasses.
Spectacles of destiny.
Kudo Shinichi put on his glasses and felt a little dizzy.
What's unscientific is that Kudo Shinichi looks like a completely different person when he puts on glasses - although the difference is almost invisible, that's what Sora feels.
Sure enough, glasses are the protagonist’s true identity, and they are also a good thing for disguise. But there is no need for him to wear it, because...there are two children here who are exactly like Kudo Shinichi when he was a child.
Kudo Shinichi, who was also aware of this, temporarily took off his glasses and put them in his pocket... These glasses have prescriptions and are inappropriate.
After changing their clothes, the two identical children sat down and planned to discuss the next step.
But basically Kudo Shinichi was talking and Sora was listening.
Soon Kudo Shinichi decided to go to Dr. Ali next door for help.
Dr. Agasa's name is Dr. Agasa. He is a scientist whose level and reputation are completely unequal, and he is also the person Kudo Shinichi trusts.
A moment later, Kudo Shinichi stood on tiptoe and pressed the doorbell of Dr. Agasa's house.
"Who?"
"Doctor, it's me, Shinichi!"
"It's Shinichi," Dr. Ali, a balding middle-aged and elderly man wearing black short-sleeves and a dusty white coat, opened the glass door and walked out, "Eh? Where's Shinichi?"
"I'm here, A-Kasa, B-Shi! I'm Shinichi!"
"Oh, they are the children of Shinichi's relatives! No wonder they look so much like Shinichi when he was a child..."
These two are not on the same channel.
Sora silently stepped back and let Kudo Shinichi negotiate with Dr. Agasa.
However, it is obviously hard to believe that after taking medicine, he not only turned into a child but also split up. Even if Kudo Shinichi revealed Dr. Agasa’s secret and showed his extraordinary reasoning ability, Dr. Agasa still could not believe it. Not very convinced.
Kudo Shinichi continued to tell the story.
From the first time he met Dr. Agasa, Kudo Shinichi racked his brains and told almost all the stories he remembered between him and Dr. Agasa, so that Dr. Agasa seemed a little doubtful.
"Okay, I believe you are Shinichi," Dr. Ali touched his head, glanced at Sora who was watching the show, and pulled Kudo Shinichi aside, "But, Shinichi, take medicine and you will become smaller. This kind of thing is already outrageous, are you sure, uh... you have become two people?"
"Well... although it's hard to believe, it should be true." After hesitating, Kudo Shinichi replied, "He said... he is my subconscious mind, and the current me is my conscious mind, so in terms of character It’s different too.”
"I didn't expect that you would actually speak for me." Kong said suddenly.
Dr. Agasa and Kudo Shinichi were shocked.
"Hey, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
"I didn't eavesdrop on what others were saying," Kong deliberately emphasized the word "others," "Besides, I stood still and didn't move."
"So, doctor, do you believe that we are all Kudo Shinichi?" Sora then said to Dr. Agasa without waiting for Kudo Shinichi's reply.
"This... I still can't completely believe it, but let's go inside and chat slowly..."
They say they talk slowly, but they are not slow at all.
Sitting on the sofa at the doctor's house, Kudo Shinichi quickly got to the point and told Dr. Agasa the details of how he was drugged.
Then, under the reminder of Dr. Agasa, Kudo Shinichi also realized that the fact that he had become smaller and cracked was a matter that must be kept secret and must not be told to others to avoid endangering himself and others.
"So, the name Kudo Shinichi must not be used anymore!" Dr. Agasa said.
"And Shinichi, you became two people."
"So, two fake names are needed."
"How about we each think of something and talk about it together later?" Kudo Shinichi tried again.
"Okay. Then count to three." Kong responded simply, "Three——"
"Hey! This is too urgent!"
"two--"
"Damn it! I haven't thought about it yet!"
"one."
"Edogawa Conan!"
"Edogawa Conan."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
"..."
"Pfft." Dr. A Li couldn't help laughing, "I mean, Shinichi, you...your names are so funny...hahahaha..."
"I can't help it. This guy suddenly limited himself to three numbers, so I can only think of this kind of name." Kudo Shinichi said helplessly.
But...this guy actually thought about me. Could it be that he was really torn apart? This is too unscientific.
"What a terrible name."
"...You also chose this name!" Kudo Shinichi said angrily, "Also, we can't use the same name, right?"
…That’s a good question.
After thinking for a while, Sora said: "Then call me Fengyuan, Fengyuan Sora."
Sora was the name given by his master, and he didn't want to change it.
Both he and Kudo Shinichi were bad at naming names, so he had to think of a last name for a character in a game he had played before.
However, seeing Conan's suspicious look, Maplehara decided to add a setting: "This is the name we used when we played detective games when we were kids."
"Why don't I remember this?"
"There are a lot of things you don't remember," Fengyuan replied, "For example, do you remember what dad said when he first taught us how to fly a helicopter?"
"..."
"I just remember," Maplehara recounted a passage Kudo Yusaku said in Kudo Shinichi's memory, "and I still remember what we were thinking at that time - it's so annoying, it's so verbose, just look at this kind of thing You can learn it.”
Conan was a little embarrassed because it actually took him several days of learning to master it. But... Having said that, it seems that there is such a thing... It seems that this guy is indeed another himself.
So the two people's private titles were decided.
However, Dr. Agasa felt that it was better for the two of them to live as twins in order to hide it easily, so he gave Maplehara the name Edogawa Doyle as a public identity.
But in private, they would still use the title Sora Kaedehara to distinguish them from Conan.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again. Edogawa Conan and Maplehara closed their mouths in tacit agreement.
Edogawa Conan trotted all the way to hide behind the sofa, and waved to Maplehara. After thinking for a moment, Maplehara moved his short legs and hid together.
Dr. Ali then replied, "Who is it?"
"Dr. Ali! It's me, Xiaolan!"
Edogawa Conan and Dr. Agasa breathed a sigh of relief. But Conan immediately became nervous again. He had not yet decided how to face Mao Lilan, the girl who had grown up with him.
"Oh, long time no see, Xiaolan." Dr. A Li opened the door a second time, "What's wrong at this late hour?"
"Well...I'm actually here to see Shinichi. I haven't been able to contact him since Shinichi separated from me today...Doctor, do you know where Shinichi is?"
Dr. Agasa could tell that the girl was worried.
In fact, this is the second time Mao Lilan has come over. Some time ago, she came to Kudo Shinichi's house to look for Shinichi and left when she found no one at home. However, she still felt uneasy halfway through, so she turned back again and planned to ask Dr. Agasa.
"Oh, Shinichi..." Dr. Ali hesitated, "I don't know where that guy Shinichi is."
"Oh..." Mao Lilan was a little disappointed.
"Ah, by the way, Xiaolan! There are two children of distant relatives of my family...oh no, the new family..."
"well?"
"Their parents were in a car accident and were hospitalized, so they asked me to take care of them temporarily. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of them. Can you let them live in your house for a while?"
"Hey? Are you a relative of the Xin family? Yes, yes, but I have to tell my dad first..."
"Great! It's settled then!" Dr. Ali said quickly, then pulled Xiaolan into the room, "Hey! Conan! Doyle!"
"Conan Doyle?" Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment. This was one of the names that Kudo Shinichi said in her ear that made her ears feel cocooned.
"Oh, one is named Edogawa Conan and the other is named Edogawa Doyle. Their parents are detective novel fans... Hey, where are the people?" A Li explained, and then found that the person he mentioned did not appear.
Then a short hand appeared from behind the sofa and made a move.
"Xiaolan, these two kids seem a little shy, haha," Dr. Ali said while rubbing his head, "I'll go talk to them."
After Dr. Agasa walked around the sofa, Edogawa Conan lowered his voice and said: "Doctor! In this way, Xiaolan will soon know that I am——"
"What's wrong?" Xiaolan, who was following, poked her head curiously, "Hey!"
"X-Xiaolan..." Edogawa Conan stammered.
Fengyuan hesitated and decided not to take a step back, so the next moment he and Conan were embraced by Xiaolan.
"O-so cute! They look exactly the same! And they look just like Shin-chan when he was a kid!"
"Yes, yes, they are twins." Dr. Ali patched it up, "The one on the left is Conan, and the one on the right is Doyle. I'll leave them to you, Xiaolan."
"Okay." Seeing two children who were almost exactly the same as when Xin was a child, Mao Lilan's heart almost melted, and she didn't have the slightest idea of rejection. "Then, Conan and Doyle, go stay at your sister's house for a while, okay? good?"
"Okay... okay." Conan was so dizzy that he was hugged, completely forgetting that he was expressing dissatisfaction with the doctor just now.
Mao Lilan looked at Fengyuan who didn't reply.
