Hanyu Nan recognized the three children at a glance. His lips curved slightly into a smile, and he teased, "Kudo, your observational skills are truly sharp! However, aren't you going to stop them from doing that?"
Hearing this, Shinichi Kudo quickly waved his hand, saying impatiently, "I don't have the time to bother with those little brats!"
Seeing this, Hanyu Nan offered, "Then let me do it."
Shinichi, however, shook his head dismissively and advised, "Forget it. They're just a bunch of snot-nosed kids; there's no need to pay attention to them."
However, the three children in elementary school uniforms were particularly eye-catching. One girl wore a pink and white hair clip, Teitan High School elementary division uniform, and had a pair of sparkling big eyes; another boy wore a blue shirt, had a few freckles on his face, and was slender; and there was also a tall, chubby boy with a somewhat pointed head, dressed in green.
It turned out that these three were none other than the future Death God Elementary School Student—members of the Detective Boys: Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, and Kojima Genta.
Hanyu Nan quickly walked over and blocked the three children's path. At this moment, Ayumi Yoshida, who was walking with her head down, was caught off guard and bumped into Hanyu Nan.
A tall figure appeared, blocking their path! Ayumi was so startled that she fell back onto the ground. She quickly explained, "Big Brother, please don't misunderstand! We weren't trying to sneak onto the roller coaster without a ticket!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Kojima Genta, who were beside her, couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, Ayumi, why did you tell him everything so quickly! Now we're in big trouble!"
"Children, you can't sneak in like this; it's very dangerous. Come out with me," Hanyu Nan said softly.
Reluctantly, the three little ones dejectedly followed Hanyu Nan back to the ticket booth.
Hanyu Nan squatted down and couldn't help but reach out to ruffle Ayumi's cute little head, asking gently, "Do you really want to ride the roller coaster?"
Ayumi nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Yes, Big Brother, I really want to."
Hanyu Nan's lips curved slightly into a warm smile: "Alright, Big Brother will treat you to the roller coaster, but you have to promise me one thing: you must never try to sneak in without a ticket again. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, the three elementary school students immediately showed excited expressions and shouted in unison, "Yay!"
Ayumi, standing nearby, was even more thrilled. She quickly walked up to Hanyu Nan, gave him a small peck on the cheek, and then, with a flushed face, said, "Thank you, handsome Big Brother!"
This scene instantly infuriated Mitsuhiko and Genta, who were standing on the side. They kept muttering, "What's going on...? How dare she, this Big Brother is too cunning!"
"You really like to meddle," Shinichi Kudo, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
Hearing Shinichi Kudo's assessment of him, Hanyu Nan almost burst out laughing. He thought to himself, 'Compared to Conan, I'm still far from it.'
However, Ran, who was beside him, had a different opinion. She said earnestly, "How can this be considered meddling? Yuusheng-san did the right thing."
Sonoko, with an envious expression, exclaimed, "Yuusheng-san is really popular with girls."
He was the one who discovered those three little brats trying to sneak in without tickets, yet Hanyu Nan stole his thunder! This really made Shinichi Kudo feel displeased.
He secretly regretted that if he had stopped Hanyu Nan and that gossipy busybody Sonoko from coming yesterday, this wouldn't have happened.
Hmph, it's all because of this meddling Sonoko! But it doesn't matter, I, Shinichi Kudo, will never give up easily! I'll get back the face I lost in front of Ran!
Just then, Hanyu Nan had already bought tickets for the three children, and everyone walked together towards the roller coaster entrance to queue up.
Suddenly, Shinichi Kudo noticed a long-haired woman standing beside him, wearing a long blue dress, a pearl necklace, and a blue hair clip, conversing with a freckled girl wearing glasses.
Shinichi Kudo had a flash of inspiration and immediately shouted, "I bet you're a gymnast!"
The woman in blue turned her head, a look of surprise on her face: "How did you know?"
Shinichi Kudo explained seriously, "I deduced it from the calluses on your hands."
"But sports like tennis can also cause calluses," Ran asked, full of doubt.
Shinichi Kudo smiled slightly and said softly, "Actually, when the wind blew just now, I saw your dress..."
"Shinichi!" Ran suddenly shouted, then mercilessly punched Shinichi Kudo on the head.
Shinichi Kudo was a bit dazed from the blow. He rubbed his head while looking at Ran with a puzzled expression.
Ran glared at him angrily, then turned and walked towards the woman in blue, who was covering her skirt and blushing, and bowed deeply, apologizing.
After the group apologized to each other, they walked together towards the roller coaster.
The real-life roller coaster was not like the humble 8-person car in cartoons. The facility before them resembled a giant dragon winding across the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Just then, two men wearing black round hats and black suits suddenly rushed past Shinichi Kudo. One was tall with dazzling golden long hair; the other was burly and strong, wearing black sunglasses, appearing exceptionally mysterious.
The thin man in black walking in front said coldly, "Hurry up, we're in a rush." With that, the two men quickened their pace and brushed past Shinichi Kudo.
Hanyu Nan only took one look and immediately concluded that the tall, male-model-like man was none other than the unique original from The Organization—Gin.
The burly, simple-minded fellow standing next to Gin was undoubtedly Vodka.
These two men were about to force APTX4869 upon the meddlesome Shinichi Kudo, causing him to transform into the Death God Elementary School Student, Conan Edogawa, and thus initiating the main plot of the story.
Just then, Shinichi Kudo suddenly turned his head, his gaze meeting Gin's. He involuntarily took two steps back, a chill running through his heart, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
That gaze seemed to convey a cold indifference to human life. Who exactly were these two mysterious figures in black? Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.
