Chapter 237 Another person knows

After seeing off the Kudo couple, the person Conan turned around to face was Ling Cheng. Ling Cheng smiled harmlessly, but Conan was frightened when he saw it.

Oh, he knows he is Kudo Shinichi, finished.

Conan immediately pointed the finger at Zero. It must be this guy who exposed himself. He was one of the masterminds who scared him this time!

"Zero hour, how did you tell him?"

Prove your innocence immediately at midnight,

"Hey, it has nothing to do with me. You exposed yourself. Your acting is so bad. If you are not more careful, there will definitely be more than just us who know about this."

Conan: "How is that possible? I pretended very well. Ran and the others didn't notice."

Conan was unaware of it and thought his disguise was perfect, while Zero was laughing in his heart.

Midnight: With your skill in deceiving people, if it weren't for the fact that these little girls couldn't imagine such a bizarre thing, and if you lived with me, I don't know how many times you would have been discovered by Mao Lilan.

Conan expressed doubt about Ling Shi's denial, and Ling Cheng came out to prove it to Ling Shi.

"Although he is not innocent, I did discover it myself. You let it slip yourself, although I didn't think so at first."

"You were too reckless in facing that so-called organization. You revealed too many flaws. No matter how impossible it is, that is the only truth."

Ling Cheng pointed out that there were many points in Conan's performance in this prank that deserved criticism, which made Conan feel embarrassed.

Ling Cheng: "And this time it was mainly thanks to your parents' amazing help, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of such a bizarre thing."

Conan: ...It turns out that my family was the one who tricked me.

Ling Shi: "Well, anyway, I know. Just try your best and we can keep it a secret from Huang Quan. Come on, Conan!"

Conan: "Why should I cheer for him? Could he be the one who took that medicine too?!"

Conan suddenly pointed out whether Ling Cheng was the same as him, but was slapped in the face by Ling Cheng.

"Hehe, I'm not. I'm a natural, okay? My overall abilities surpass those of a certain high school student. At least I won't be secretly plotted against and turned into a child."

Conan, who was stabbed, covered his chest with his hands. It was so painful. He felt like he was stabbed several times. The person was so vicious. Was he really not a Zero Hour child?

Ling Cheng continued:

"From now on, you should call Ling Cheng brother, Conan little brother."

Conan: ...

The fake child vomited blood and fell to the ground and died.

System: Being taken advantage of openly, a 17-year-old high school student has to call a 12-year-old elementary school student "brother". Is this a decline in morality or the extinction of humanity?

Midnight: It is Kudo Shinichi's defeat.

Ling Cheng seemed not to have had enough and wanted to continue bullying Conan, who had turned gray, but was stopped by Lingshi, who said he wanted to talk about something serious.

Zero looked at Conan and pulled his wandering soul back.

"You don't need to tell me that, you've already told your parents. If you still choose to go deeper, just one wrong step will put everyone around you in danger."

Conan remembered the scene where his parents faked their death and knew that this was a test prepared for him by Zero Hour, just like the previous few times, all to test him.

Conan couldn't deny that after experiencing betrayal by those around him and witnessing the death of his loved ones as a result, he really couldn't think straight at the time.

But even so, Conan said firmly to Zero Hour:

"I know what you want to tell me, but I won't give up. I will only be more determined to send those people to jail so that everyone can be protected."

"Even though I still have some shortcomings, I will work hard to achieve what you want, and then I will make you recognize me!"

After hearing the good male protagonist's speech, Lingshi raised his hand and applauded silently. Ling Cheng also cooperated and applauded Conan, which made Conan angry again.

"What are you doing? I'm serious. Stop making trouble. Stop it."

Conan, feeling ashamed, rushed over to stop them, but Lingshi and Ling Cheng successfully dodged them and ran around the sofa in circles while teasing Conan.

After feeling that the noise was enough, he lay down on the sofa and said:

"Okay, I think you've met the basic requirements. With Ling Cheng brought along, you can become an accomplice in fighting the organization."

Conan: "Really?"

Conan couldn't catch up with the two people, and he was exhausted and gasping for breath, but he still jumped up from the sofa excitedly because of Lingshi's words.

Lingshi: "Yes, but I still won't give you the information. You and Ling Cheng should go for it. I only agree to an exchange."

Conan: "Tsk, what's the difference?"

Ling Cheng put his hand on Conan's shoulder.

"Stupid, he's saying that he won't do that to you in the future. And you look down on me, don't worry, I'll help you beat him."

Zero Hour: "You two should get along well. You can't use the title of Kudo Shinichi, but you can use the title of genius elementary school student."

"Besides, you're a weakling with skinny arms and legs. Ling Cheng can knock you down with just one hand."

Conan couldn't refute it even if he was dissatisfied, because he had already seen Ling Cheng's fighting ability. He was no elementary school student at all, he could even stand shoulder to shoulder with Lan.

Conan: Haha...

Fortunately, he was ahead in terms of thinking. However, a high school student won against an elementary school student. He was happy for a while, but then he realized that he was not so happy anymore.

Kudo Shinichi: Why should I be so happy if I beat an elementary school student?

Ling Cheng patted his shoulder.

"It's okay, you're already very good, it's me who's a little bit against the will of heaven."

Conan: Do you consider this as comfort?

The quarrel was over, and the Lingshi family returned to their normal life. The only change was that Ling Cheng was going to elementary school. Conan said he didn't feel anything about it.

Conan: This guy should be in elementary school!

Ling Cheng: But I already have certificates from several colleges and universities, so I can be admitted to university.

Conan: ...Damn it.

Ling Cheng: So in some ways, going to elementary school feels similar to you, too boring!

Just when the two elementary school students were complaining that life was boring, Lingshi received a call from Mao Lilan.

When Lingshi answered the phone, Mao Lilan asked Lingshi if he knew where Kudo Shinichi was.

Zero hour: ? ?

What the hell, is the fact that I’m secretly keeping someone’s childhood sweetheart going to be exposed?

Because the audio was played out loud at midnight, Ling Cheng and Conan next to him heard it. Conan, who was drinking cold medicine, choked suddenly.

Ling Cheng reached out and patted his back to calm him down, then immediately responded,

"I don't know. How can I know where that guy went if you don't even know him?"

Mao Lilan's mood became lost, and Ling Shi asked:

"Xiaolan, why did you suddenly think of this? Did you find any clues about Kudo?"

"Well, this is because a high school detective who calls himself Kansai said, hey, don't grab my phone."

Xiaolan's voice became smaller, probably because her phone was snatched away, and then a male voice came out.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's what I deduced. Kudo Shinichi must be hiding nearby and observing Miss Ran, so he wouldn't care about her situation over the phone."

"And through today's phone call, I have a high probability of guessing that someone is helping him, so let Miss Lan give me a possible candidate!"

Midnight: ...

System: Quite accurate.
