Conan's World, I'm Genta's Cousin

Chapter 2: Conan's World, I'm Genta's Cousin

One month later.

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

Shu Yunwen lay comfortably on the bed in a hospital gown, the white quilt and gleaming floor surrounding him.

On the bedside cabinets on either side, one held a bouquet of flowers sent by visitors, while the other was filled with fruit.

From outside the door, muffled voices could be heard. On the stool next to Shu Yunwen's bed, a drooling little brat stared intently at the strawberries and bananas in the fruit bowl, his saliva flowing uncontrollably. "Brother Yunwen, can I eat the strawberries from the fruit bowl?"

"Hah... If you want to eat them, then eat them. Who's stopping you?" Shu Yunwen replied casually. The little brat immediately grabbed strawberries from the fruit bowl and began eating. Hmm, quite a gluttonous kid. 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 utterly bewildered.

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

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

Yes, that was 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 the current Kojima Genta, happily eating fruit beside him.

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

Then there were Tsukamoto Kazumi, Seko Kunishige, and Mononobe Masao, who had visited him earlier. They all claimed to be 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 rather unusual relationship.

Of course, it didn't matter if 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. It was already good that Shu Yunwen could recall his family situation. The lost memories could be recovered slowly later.

As for future plans?

Previously, 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 college. Shu Yunwen's own idea was to inherit his cheap father's exorcism agency—that's right, Shu Yunwen's cheap father was a fake spiritualist, known in Japan as an exorcist, Onmyoji, and so on. They were all pretty much the same.

Based on the memories from his predecessor, Shu Yunwen could confirm that his deceased cheap father was a charlatan who lived by a book of Maoshan Daoism he brought when he illegally entered Japan, along with 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 fraud.

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

With this "useless" Daoism and talismans, his cheap father had managed to fool many influential figures, establishing close relationships with certain politicians and big corporations. 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 that Shu Yunwen could potentially control in the future.

In the dispute between continuing his studies 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 operate 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 painstakingly 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 solely on his own will, he really couldn't do it.

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

Upon seeing Kojima Genta stuffing his face, Kojima Mie immediately grabbed his ear. "Genta, these are visiting gifts from your friend Brother 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, "Aunt Mie, I can'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, "Aunt Mie, you're too kind. It's I who should be causing you trouble."

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

The doctor smiled and said, "Shu-san, your body's recovery speed over the past month can only be described as miraculous. Now, apart from being slightly weak and needing rest, there are no other problems. You can be discharged at any time."

Kojima Genji said earnestly, "Yunwen, we've discussed it with Dr. Tanaka. You'll rest here for one more day. Tomorrow, Dr. Tanaka will give you another thorough examination, 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 need to start preparing for your re-enrollment. Considering your age, Genji and I think you should enroll in the second year of Teitan High School... Your academic performance was excellent before, 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!

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

He did remember the knowledge from his predecessor's body.

"That's good," Kojima Mie nodded. "I'll contact Teitan High School and arrange your entrance exam. If your health permits, 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 replied gratefully.

Kojima Genji also added, "After all, Yunwen was in a coma for two years and is out of touch with society. So, it would be best for you to read more newspapers and watch the news during this time."

"Understood, 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 came back with several newspapers, placing them in front of Shu Yunwen. "Brother Yunwen, these are today's newspapers. Dad told you to read them more!"

"Uh..."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes.

Little brat!

He picked up a newspaper and opened it. The dense Japanese text, thanks to his absorption of the previous owner's memories, was easy to understand.

The front-page headline was about a student.

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

Kudo Shinichi?

Shinichi?

Shinichi-kun?

Washing machine?

What the hell is going on?

In his past life, although he wasn't exactly an anime fan and mostly skipped through anime, he still knew of the famous "washing machine"!

This is a character from the manga Detective Conan, isn't it?

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

And now, it seems I've 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 is... Kojima Genta?

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

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

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

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

Well, well!

Not only did I transmigrate into the world of Conan, but this cousin of mine is also a member of the famous Junior Detective League.

You've got to be 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! Dong dong!
