"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Shinichi is so outstanding, how could he possibly lose to your son? Megure, you must be mistaken."
"Inspector Megure, I understand your desire for your son to succeed late in life, but he's only a few years old. How could he possibly be more capable than Shinichi, who's almost an adult? Impossible!"
"What's impossible?"
Hey Yusaku, let me tell you, my son is young, only a fraction of Shinichi's age, but I think his reasoning ability is currently the best among young people in Japan, definitely better than your son Shinichi!
Moreover, even if he is slightly inferior to you, Yusaku Kudo, as long as he experiences more cases over time, I think he will soon surpass you and become much better than you.
Brother Yusaku, although my reasoning ability and current status are not as good as yours, or those of big shots like Superintendent Hakuba and Chief Heizo Hattori.
But speaking of sons, my son Conan Megure is someone who can defeat Shinichi at such a young age, while your sons, at the age of my son Conan, are probably playing in the mud and playing house.
I, Inspector Megure, have finally found something that surpasses all of you big shots, haha... that is, even your sons are no match for my son, Conan..."
Hearing Megure laughing maniacally on the phone, Yusaku Kudo immediately thought of Megure's partner, Kogoro Mouri. It seems that madness can be contagious.
Meanwhile, in the hallway outside the stairwell, Conan felt like dying:
If the other person's real father found out that he was Shinichi Kudo and that he had called someone else "Dad," especially if the person being called "Dad" got cocky and went to show off in front of his own father, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, there is still a real Conan in this world. As long as I find him and make him take the blame, I, Shinichi Kudo, will be safe.
Of course, before finding the real Conan, you must never let your biological father know that you are Conan!
Of course, while Conan was thinking these things, he was already under control.
When Jiang Chengbei learned that Megure was calling Yusaku Kudo, he immediately restrained Conan to prevent him from causing trouble.
Chapter 69 My Scumbag Brother Who Abandoned His Wife and Children
Megure's laughter was so grating that Kudo Yusaku got angry and said sarcastically:
"Yes, yes, your son is amazing. Megure's son is the most amazing. Our sons are nowhere near as amazing as Megure's son!"
"Brother Yusaku, it's great that you can face reality so quickly. But in the end, Conan is so amazing because of your good genes, otherwise he wouldn't be so outstanding."
Kudo Yusaku: "..."
Inspector Megure has gone completely insane, suspecting he's been cuckolded. He's even settled in Da Meili, yet he still suspects himself. This guy is truly insane.
“Inspector Megure, I think you’ve misunderstood. My genes have nothing to do with your son. You don’t need to test me. I haven’t been back to Japan for the past few years, so you can rest assured.”
“Brother Yusaku, there’s no need to test him. As soon as I see Conan’s appearance, his clever little brain, and his full hostility towards Shinichi, trying every means to outdo Shinichi, I know whose son he is.”
I'm calling today, firstly to thank my friend Yusaku, and secondly to let him know that Conan is safe and sound.
Let me tell you, Conan is with me now, living in my house. He's my son now, and his name has been changed to Megure Conan.
He was even moved by my deep affection, and today he finally started calling me "Dad." You can't take your son back; he's mine now, hahaha…
Megure is so happy right now, it's like he stole his ex's girlfriend, and he wants to show off to his ex.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, Kudo Yusaku was completely dumbfounded. Had he accidentally caused someone's death sometime during one of his stays at home? The thought was terrifying!
Yusaku Kudo: Holy crap, I have a son outside of our relationship, how come I didn't know?
At this moment, Yusaku Kudo realized that his so-called son Conan was not Megure's biological son, but an adopted child. So why was he so happy?
Back when I had my own son Shinichi, I wasn't as overjoyed as I am with Inspector Megure!
Is it because she was over 40 when she had her son that she was so happy that she lost her composure?
That makes sense. More than 20 years ago, the Megure couple lost the opportunity to have a child. Now that they suddenly have a child, it's normal for them to be a little happy and speak without restraint.
But even if you're going crazy, you can't try to pin the blame on me!
I'm a public figure. If the media finds out I have an illegitimate child, I'll be the subject of all the criticism.
After roughly understanding what had happened, Kudo Yusaku cursed inwardly, while solemnly saying to Inspector Megure:
"Inspector Megure, Conan isn't my son, don't talk nonsense!"
“I know, he is my son now, Brother Yusaku.”
Don't worry, even if anyone asks me, I'll say Conan is my own son, and I'll never reveal you to anyone. I swear, I promise.
Yusaku Kudo: "Megure, I beg you, please stop swearing. Every time you swear, I feel like I'm doomed."
"That's right. Conan and Shinichi look so alike, almost identical, and they've even been on TV and in newspapers. If you make a connection, it's hard to keep this a secret."
Thinking about it that way, I understand Yusaku's predicament. But I assure you, I will insist that Conan is my own son; you can rest assured about that.
"Megure, may I ask you, how old is Conan, what year was he born, where was he born, and who are his biological parents?"
“Brother Yuzuo, stop pretending. You think you, as his father, wouldn’t know the answers to these questions? I don’t believe it.”
"I really don't know, and I'm certain, Inspector Megure, you must be mistaken. Conan is definitely not my son!"
Yusaku Kudo was a little angry because he had been misunderstood by Megure, so his tone became much stern and his voice was very low.
Hearing Yusaku Kudo's reply, and his refusal to admit it, Inspector Megure, who had been feeling a bit cocky, grew serious and said solemnly:
“Brother Yusaku, if you don’t want to acknowledge him, that’s fine. Conan is so smart, there are plenty of people who want to adopt him as their son.”
Besides, he's my son now. I'm just calling to let you know I'm safe and sound, so you won't worry if Conan runs back to China alone.
Since you won't admit it, then there's nothing more to say. I'm hanging up.
"Wait, don't hang up yet." Just as Inspector Megure was about to hang up, Yusaku Kudo's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
Although Inspector Megure didn't want to deal with this man who didn't even acknowledge his own son, he stopped what he was doing and asked, out of respect for Conan's biological father:
"what's up?"
"Megure, why are you so sure Conan is my child? What evidence do you have? Besides looking like me and Shinichi, and being intelligent, what other proof do you have?"
"He claims to have no parents and to have grown up on his own, but how could a 7-year-old child, who did not go to an orphanage and had no guardian, possibly have grown up on his own?"
Therefore, I don't believe his statement and can only guess that he hates his biological parents very much.
Furthermore, I searched all over the country but couldn't find Conan's birthplace, where he lived, or his immigration records.
Before Conan appeared on his own, I couldn't find any information about his identity.
His Japanese seemed fluent on the surface, but I always felt something was off. It was as if he lived abroad but used Japanese as his native language, yet it was somewhat disconnected from our Japanese.
Therefore, I suspect that Conan was born abroad and has been living abroad all this time, communicating in Japan. He only recently smuggled himself back to China.
That's why I thought of calling you today to let you know I'm safe, so you wouldn't worry about not being able to find Conan.
Furthermore, he inexplicably hates Shinichi and the police, and he opposes us for no reason, using Shinichi and us to gain fame.
I guess he did this because he was jealous that Shinichi had a complete family, while he could only live as an illegitimate child, so he hated you and hated the things you liked.
You helped us solve many cases, so he indirectly hated the Metropolitan Police Department and tried every means to slander us.
Fortunately, I discovered him early and adopted him in time, allowing him to experience the warmth of a home early on. As a result, he has completely changed and is now the complete opposite of what he used to be.
Now not only are they no longer opposing the Metropolitan Police Department, but they've also helped me solve several cases in the last few days. They're like completely different people.
It was because I changed Conan with love that I became absolutely certain that his previous family was unhappy, so I am 100% sure that he is your child.
After all, he looks exactly like Shinichi when he was a child, even his clothes and hairstyle are the same, and he's even smarter than Shinichi. If this child isn't yours, Yusaku Kudo, whose could he be?
After listening to Inspector Megure's long speech, Yusaku Kudo fell silent:
The child is 7 years old this year. He has no record of living in Japan, but speaks Japanese fluently. Eight years ago, his twin brother suddenly faked his death, abandoning his wife and children to come to Japan to live alone...
I can't think about it anymore. If I do, his twin brother will become a scumbag who abandons his wife and children...
Chapter 70 Becoming a Boss: Assigning Work to His Employees, Kogoro Mouri
While eavesdropping on Megure's phone call in the hallway, Jiang Chengbei, having just confirmed that Megure was talking to Yusaku Kudo, grabbed Conan and restrained him to prevent any accidents.
So after Megure ended the call, everyone who was eavesdropping in the corridor knew that Conan was Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son.
Then everyone stared at him with wide eyes and gossipy expressions.
"Conan, so you're Uncle Kudo's illegitimate son."
No wonder you always tried to impersonate Shinichi; it turns out you wanted to win back your father and his love.
After Ran said that, Conan suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder my ex-boyfriend Conan disliked me and always wanted to step on me and put me down."
However, since they are all Yusaku Kudo's sons, why is the former Conan so strong? He was able to deduce and solve cases at such a young age, and his fighting skills were even better than his, a high school student. He caught several murderers in just a few days.
He can't do any of these things!
Moreover, when he was 7 years old 10 years ago, he could only play house with Xiaolan and solve puzzles. He had no experience in real combat and could not actually catch criminals!
We're all Yusaku Kudo's offspring, so why is there such a big difference?
As the person on the other end of the phone was rendered speechless by Megure's questioning and unable to refute what Megure said, everyone tacitly accepted Megure's guess and believed that Conan was Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son.
Of course, the reason why Kudo Yusaku on the other side was silent was because after hearing Megure's description, he felt that Conan might be the child of his twin brother.
After all, eight years ago that guy came to Da Liang Mei alone, it's possible he accidentally caused someone's death.
Moreover, not only do the two brothers look exactly alike, but even though they married different wives, their two children not only looked exactly alike when they were young, but also their two cousins looked exactly alike.
Ultimately, it's because their paternal genes are too strong, and all their male offspring look exactly alike.
Because he suspected that Conan might be his foolish older brother's illegitimate son, Yusaku Kudo didn't say much and planned to find an opportunity to return to Japan to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Kudo Yusaku's subsequent silence emboldened Megure and his group, leading them to unanimously conclude that Conan was Kudo Yusaku's illegitimate son.
Finally, after exchanging a few polite words with Yusaku Kudo and hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure walked out of the stairwell. Only then did he realize that at the beginning of the call, he had only asked Yusaku Kudo if the call was safe, completely unaware that he himself had become a sieve, and the whole thing had been overheard by this group of people.
Now everyone knows that Conan is Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son, which leaves Inspector Megure feeling quite helpless.
Just as Kudo Yusaku had said on the phone, things turned out exactly as he had. He swore to keep it a secret, but that was something he simply couldn't do; it was too difficult.
Even though everyone already knew, Inspector Megure still asked everyone to keep it a secret, especially not to tell Shinichi Kudo, lest he be unable to bear the blow.
Conan was dumbfounded when he saw that everyone was willing to keep it a secret and not tell Shinichi Kudo.
Conan: You're serious about keeping this a secret from me?
Because of Jiang Chengbei's involvement as a troublemaker in the case, the truth of the case became a hot topic of debate in the following days, with both the public and the Metropolitan Police Department arguing back and forth.
Because the case was botched, Megure's promotion and raise were temporarily put on hold, his hopes of working in an office were gone, and he would continue to be a frontline inspector who had to respond to calls.
Meanwhile, amidst the public debate, Kogoro Mouri, the last detective to speak out, gained some fame, as did Jiang Chengbei, the hater, who became famous and a thorn in the side of Yoko Okino's fans.
