Conan's World, I Am Genta's Cousin

One month later.

Inside the bright hospital room, the pale green curtains were pulled open, and the window was half-ajar. Air carrying the fragrance of soil drifted in from outside, diluting the smell of disinfectant in the room considerably.

With a white comforter and a gleaming floor, Shu Yunwen, dressed in a hospital gown, lay comfortably on the bed.

On the bedside cabinets on either side, one held bouquets of flowers sent by visitors, while the other held some fruit.

From outside the door, the faint sound of voices could be heard. On the stool beside Shu Yunwen's bed, a drooling little brat stared at the strawberries and bananas in the fruit plate, his saliva flowing non-stop. "Yunwen-ge, can I have the strawberries from the fruit plate?"

"Hah... If you want to eat them, then eat them. Who's stopping you?" Shu Yunwen said casually. The little brat immediately grabbed a strawberry from the fruit plate and started eating. Hmm, a rather greedy little brat. No wonder he's so fat.

With his hands behind his head, Shu Yunwen pondered his current predicament.

Although he had been thinking about this for the past month whenever he was conscious, he still felt a bit clueless.

He remembered that he should have died in a car accident. But in a daze, he had woken up and, like a cuckoo taking over a nest, had replaced the original owner of this body and survived.

This was Japan, Japan in the 1990s.

The guy he had "possessed" was also named Shu Yunwen, a mixed-race Chinese-Japanese. His father was Chinese, and his mother was Japanese.

Two years ago, their family of three went on a trip. On their way back, they were in a car accident, and his parents died. Only he survived. After being in a coma for two years, Shu Yunwen woke up. The original guy seemed to have left forever, leaving behind only scattered, incomplete memories.

Yes, that's right. Shu Yunwen was now a stranger to everything around him.

Take Kojima Genji, who had been taking care of him, his wife Kojima Mie, and Kojima Genta, who was currently happily eating fruit in front of him.

Hmm, although these names sounded a bit familiar, and Kojima Mie was even the younger sister of Shu Yunwen's cheap mother, Shu Yunwen still only had a vague impression.

Then there were Tsukamoto Kazumi, Seko Kunishige, and Mononobe Masao, who had visited him earlier. They all said they were his high school classmates, but he couldn't recall them at all. However, the girl named Tsukamoto Kazumi seemed quite pretty. And he had a feeling that his predecessor and Tsukamoto Kazumi had a somewhat unusual relationship.

Of course, it was fine that he couldn't remember. The doctor had said that due to the car accident, Shu Yunwen's memory had gaps, and it was normal not to remember anything. And now, it was already good that Shu Yunwen could remember his family situation. The lost memories could be recovered slowly later.

As for future plans?

Earlier, when Kojima Genji, Kojima Mie, and Shu Yunwen were chatting, this topic had come up.

Kojima Genji and Kojima Mie's opinion was that Shu Yunwen should return to school and go to university. Shu Yunwen's own idea was to inherit his cheap father's exorcism agency—yes, Shu Yunwen's cheap father was a fake spiritualist, called an exorcist or an Onmyoji in Japan, they were all pretty much the same.

Based on the memories of his predecessor, Shu Yunwen could confirm that his deceased cheap father was a fraudulent charlatan who lived by relying on a book of Maoshan Daoism he brought when he illegally immigrated to Japan, and a few useless talismans. Well, the reason his cheap father married his mother was also because the fake spiritualist "exorcised" his beautiful mother and ended up in bed with her...

In short, his cheap father was a liar.

However, Shu Yunwen's cheap father was quite good at fooling people.

With this "useless" Daoism and talismans, his cheap father had managed to fool many important people, maintaining close relationships with certain politicians, large corporations, and influential figures. With the support of many people, he owned an exorcism agency with over fifty employees, making him a prominent figure in the exorcism world. In fact, just two days ago, someone claiming to be a member of parliament had visited Shu Yunwen.

These were all connections Shu Yunwen could potentially control in the future.

In the dispute between continuing school and inheriting the exorcism agency, neither side could convince the other. The final agreement was that Shu Yunwen would attend school normally, but he could continue to run his exorcism agency in his spare time.

This was the final compromise.

After all, Kojima Mie had cried her eyes out, and Shu Yunwen couldn't bear it!

It was this woman who had diligently taken care of his body for two years, and she was the only blood relative of this body. If he were to be truly heartless and turn his back on her, acting purely on his own whims, he really couldn't do it.

With a creak, the hospital room door opened, and the doctor, Kojima Genji, and Kojima Mie walked in.

Kojima Mie saw Kojima Genta, who was stuffing his face, and immediately grabbed his ear. "Genta, these are visiting gifts from your friend Yunwen. How can you eat them?"

"Ah! My ear is falling off! My ear is falling off!" Kojima Genta cried out in pain.

Shu Yunwen quickly said, "Auntie Mie, I couldn't finish them, so I let him eat them."

Kojima Mie then released Kojima Genta's ear. "Yunwen, I'm so sorry, Genta caused you trouble."

Shu Yunwen replied, "Auntie Mie, you're too kind. It's I who should be causing you trouble."

Kojima Genta rubbed his ear on the side, looking like he had finally been saved.

The doctor smiled and said, "Shu-san, the speed at which your body has recovered this past month can only be described as miraculous. Now, apart from being slightly weak and needing rest, your body has no other problems, and you can be discharged at any time."

Kojima Genji said seriously, "Yunwen, we've discussed it with Dr. Tanaka. You'll rest here for one more day. Tomorrow, Dr. Tanaka will give you a thorough check-up, and then you can go home. Of course, you'll still need to come to the hospital for check-ups once a week..."

"I understand, Uncle Genji."

"Also, Yunwen-chan, you'll need to prepare for your re-enrollment in school. Given your age, Genji and I think you should enroll in the second year of Teitan High School... Your academic performance was excellent back then, and you even completed the high school curriculum on your own. Do you remember?" Kojima Mie asked with concern.

Damn it, I was almost graduating from university in my previous life, you know?

Shu Yunwen complained inwardly, but said, "I remember all of that."

Shu Yunwen did indeed remember the knowledge from his predecessor.

"That's good," Kojima Mie nodded. "I'll contact Teitan High School and arrange your entrance exam. If your health is fine, you should be able to enroll in about half a month."

"...Heh."

To be almost graduating from university and now having to attend high school in Japan, Shu Yunwen could only respond with a "heh."

Dr. Tanaka said, "Shu-san can resume his studies during this period, but he shouldn't overexert himself."

"I understand, thank you, Dr. Tanaka," Shu Yunwen said gratefully.

Kojima Genji also added, "Yunwen was in a coma for two years, so he's a bit out of touch with society. Therefore, it would be best if you read more newspapers and watch the news during this time."

"Got it, Uncle."

Kojima Genji and Kojima Mie had other matters to attend to, so they left first. Kojima Genta was left behind to keep Shu Yunwen company.

After eating two more pieces of fruit, Kojima Genta went out and returned with several newspapers, placing them in front of Shu Yunwen. "Brother Yunwen, these are today's newspapers. Dad told me to tell you to read them more!"

"Uh..."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes.

Little brat!

He picked up a newspaper and opened it. It was densely packed with Japanese characters, but thanks to receiving the memories of his predecessor, he could understand it easily.

The front-page headline was about a student.

"Kudo Shinichi, the Heisei Era's Sherlock Holmes, the savior of the police..."

Kudo Shinichi?

Shinichi?

Kudo-kun?

Washing Machine?

What the heck is going on?

In his previous life, although he wasn't exactly an anime fan and would fast-forward through most anime, he still knew of the famous "Washing Machine"!

This was a character from the manga Detective Conan, wasn't it?

Detective Conan, Uncle Seven's most successful work, serialized for over twenty years, countless fans, countless honors...

And now, it seemed he had transmigrated into the world of Detective Conan—

Are you kidding me?

Wait!

Shu Yunwen seemed to remember something else and turned to look at the little brat beside him...

This guy's name was... Kojima Genta?

"Genta, do you know someone named Ayumi?" Shu Yunwen asked.

At the same time, Shu Yunwen kept muttering in his heart, "I don't know," "I don't know..."

Kojima Genta withdrew his hand reaching for a banana. "Huh? You mean classmate Yoshida? Yoshida Ayumi is my classmate and a good friend. But I don't think I've ever told you about Ayumi, Brother Yunwen. How did you know?"

"Heh heh... I saw her in an anime, of course." Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched.

Well, well!

Not only had he transmigrated into the world of Conan, but this cousin was also a member of the famous Junior Detective League.

You're definitely kidding me!

Kojima Genta didn't understand. "Anime? I like Kamen Rider the most! Kamen Rider, transform~~ Dong dong dong..."

Dong dong dong...

Dong dong your sister!
