No, it's because they're young to begin with...
Upon witnessing this, Conan's face immediately fell, a look of utter speechlessness crossing his face. His lips twitched involuntarily, and he thought to himself, 'Heh, Mom's shamelessness is really something...'
"Besides, if Anxia calls you 'sister,' won't the generational hierarchy be messed up? Does that mean I have to call Anxia 'uncle'...?"
The more Conan thought about it, the more speechless he became.
However, Conan did not voice his thoughts. He knew that the more he talked, the more excited Yukiko Kudo would become.
Given the current situation, it's better to just let it be. After all, Chen Anxia and Kudo Yukiko have limited opportunities to interact, and the number of times I'll witness this kind of scene is also very limited.
Dr. Agasa, standing to the side, didn't seem to think it was a big deal, and his expression remained unchanged.
Just then, the television in the living room, which was on, suddenly started broadcasting a news report, drawing everyone's attention.
"According to reliable sources, a large quantity of explosives containing ammonium nitrate was stolen from the Dongyang gunpowder depot the day before yesterday by unknown individuals."
"Currently, the police have deployed hundreds of personnel to conduct the search, but so far, they have not found any useful clues..."
After seeing the news, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but say, "This matter may be of great importance."
Upon hearing this, Conan immediately replied, "Yes, if you fix the gunpowder in plastic, you can make a plastic bomb..."
Before Conan could finish speaking, another news report was broadcast on the television.
The news report stated that the home of Daizo Kurokawa, a well-known doctor from an island nation who was previously murdered, was burned down.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia was taken aback and blurted out, "Kurokawa Daizo, isn't that the home of the victim in the case you solved before, Kudo?"
Conan was also stunned when he saw the news, seemingly not expecting such a thing to happen.
After hearing Chen Anxia's words, Conan came to his senses and nodded slightly, replying, "Yes, that's his house."
As he spoke, Conan seemed to remember something and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, there have been quite a few arson cases lately. I remember there were two arson cases reported yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia frowned slightly, looking at the burned-down house of Kurokawa Daizo on the television screen, her expression solemn, lost in thought.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat heavy because of these two news items.
In the midst of this heavy atmosphere, Yukiko Kudo spoke up, saying, "Alright, the police will handle these matters; we don't need to worry about them."
"Let's hurry up and get down to business. Let's help Anxia with her makeup and disguise."
No one had any objection to this.
Next, Kudo Yukiko led Chen Anxia to the dressing room specially prepared by Professor Agasa to begin the makeup and disguise process.
Watson, Conan, and Professor Agasa waited inside.
Time passed by, and after about an hour and a half, the landline in Professor Agasa's living room suddenly rang.
Seeing this, Professor Agasa didn't think much of it, walked up to the phone, and answered, "Hello, who is this?"
After hearing Professor Agasa's question, a voice that had clearly been altered came from the other end of the phone and asked, "Is Shinichi Kudo there?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa couldn't help but feel a little strange.
What Professor Agasa found strange was not that the other party had called his house looking for Shinichi Kudo.
Because Professor Agasa has forwarded all calls to Shinichi Kudo's home to his landline.
What Dr. Agasa found truly strange was the other person's voice.
Sensing something was amiss, Professor Agasa said into the phone, "Wait a moment."
Immediately, Professor Agasa covered the receiver of the phone and whispered to Conan, "Shinichi, it's for you."
"But he was a bit strange; his voice sounded like it had been altered when he was on the phone."
Conan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but he quickly recovered. He turned on his voice changer and answered the phone, using Shinichi Kudo's voice, "Hello, this is Shinichi Kudo. May I ask who you are?"
Upon seeing this, Watson and Dr. Agasa couldn't help but turn their attention to them.
Soon, they saw Conan's expression suddenly change.
Because Conan heard the voice, altered by a voice changer, say, "I was the one who stole the explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot."
"Don't be surprised, just tell me your phone number now."
Upon hearing this, Conan refused without hesitation, saying, "I have no obligation to give my phone number to someone like you!"
Upon hearing this, both Watson and Professor Agasa couldn't resist pressing their ears close to the landline phone in Conan's hand, wanting to hear the conversation between Conan and the mysterious person.
As they got closer, they heard the voice, altered by a voice changer, sneer, "Oh, so you want to cut off our only means of communication?"
Upon hearing this, Conan seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he gave the other party his phone number.
Watson and Dr. Agasa, having missed the earlier parts of the story, were unaware of the specifics of what had happened, but based on the current situation, they knew that something bad must have occurred.
Otherwise, Conan wouldn't have reacted this way.
Before they could think any further, the mysterious person on the other end of the phone continued, "Very good. Now, bring your mobile phone and come to the Tsukigawa Green Park on the embankment. I'll show you something interesting."
Before Conan could even ask a question, the mysterious man suddenly laughed and said, "If we don't hurry, those children will die!"
After speaking, the mysterious man hung up the phone immediately, giving Conan no time to react.
Watson and Dr. Agasa, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but show expressions of shock upon hearing this.
Seeing Conan heading towards the Tsugawa Green Park without hesitation, Watson offered, "I drove here, let me give you a ride!"
Conan agreed and instructed Professor Agasa, "Professor, call the police now, and then tell Anzai about it."
"The other party claims to be a criminal who stole explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot. It's too dangerous to let him go like this. We must catch him and take him into custody as soon as possible!"

After Dr. Agasa called the police again to report the incident, he immediately went to the dressing room to tell Chen Anxia about it.
Because the door to the dressing room wasn't closed, Professor Agasa walked straight into it.
As soon as he entered the dressing room, Professor Agasa couldn't help but shout, "Anxia, something terrible has happened..."
As he called out, Dr. Agasa looked at Chen Anxia's face reflected in the mirror.
Upon seeing this, Professor Agasa seemed to forget what he was about to say, staring blankly at the mirror with an incredulous expression, muttering, "Shin...Shinichi..."
Indeed, in Professor Agasa's eyes, Chen Anxia's reflection in the mirror was none other than Shinichi Kudo.
If Professor Agasa didn't know that the person in front of him was Chen Anxia in disguise, he would probably really think that he was Shinichi Kudo.
Even if Professor Agasa had watched Shinichi Kudo grow up, he would still mistake him for someone else, because this time the disguise was so convincing that it was hard to tell the difference.
At that moment, Yukiko Kudo also stopped what she was doing.
Looking at the face in the mirror that was exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo's, Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in amazement, "Anxia's natural features are just too good. She doesn't need much disguise or disguise to achieve such a lifelike effect."
“I also performed exceptionally well this time. I’m sure that Anxia’s disguise and disguise this time have reached or even surpassed Sharon’s level.”
Chen Anxia, who was resting with his eyes closed, naturally heard what Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo were saying, but he did not open his eyes.
Because Chen Anxia was building a data model of Shinichi Kudo in his mind.
For Chen Anxia, if she was going to disguise herself, she had to do it to the best of her ability.
Chen Anxia was also confident that he could use the construction of a data model to make his portrayal of Shinichi Kudo so realistic that it would be indistinguishable from the real person.
Just as Chen Anxia was building the data model, Kudo Yukiko seemed to remember something and looked at Professor Agasa, asking, "By the way, Professor, what did you just say?"
As she spoke, Yukiko Kudo glanced towards the living room and continued, "I think I just heard Shinichi say something about calling the police, and I also heard someone leaving the house. Did something happen?"
After hearing what Yukiko Kudo said, Dr. Agasa suddenly realized what had happened and hurriedly told Yukiko Kudo and Chen Anxia what had just happened.
Yukiko Kudo never expected that such a serious thing would happen while she was helping Chen Anxia disguise himself.
Subconsciously, Yukiko Kudo looked at Chen Anxia.
Not only Yukiko Kudo, but also Professor Agasa turned his gaze toward Chen Anxia.
They were all very clear about Chen Anxia's abilities, and at this moment they regarded Chen Anxia as their backbone.
Under their gaze, Chen Anxia slowly opened her eyes.
Whether it was Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo's imagination or not, the moment Chen Anxia opened her eyes, they seemed to see Shinichi Kudo 'come alive'.
Before they could react, they heard a very familiar voice say, "Let's go, let's head to Tsutsumigawa Green Park."
Upon hearing that incredibly familiar voice, both Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but exchange a glance, their faces showing astonishment and disbelief.
On the other side, the embankment leads to Tsugawa Green Park.
With Watson speeding along, they quickly and successfully arrived at the Tsutsumigawa Green Park.
Upon arrival, Conan and Watson got out of the car and rushed towards Tsugawa Green Park, regardless of whether the car was parked in a no-parking zone.
On the way, Conan said to Watson, "The other party said on the phone that it was a child, which should be true, so let's split up and start with the children in the park to see if they are carrying any unusual items."
Watson's detective skills, while not as good as Conan's, were not far behind. He naturally understood the key point and agreed without hesitation.
Then, Watson and Conan split up and acted according to the plan.
After the operation began, Watson encountered a problem.
Because the embankment leads to Tsugawa Green Park, where many children are playing, Watson has no idea where to begin.
However, Watson did not hesitate and directly used the most time-consuming and laborious method to observe each child one by one to see if they were carrying any unusual items or items that might be hiding bombs.
In his heart, Watson couldn't help but think, 'If Anxia were here, with his keen insight, he would surely have noticed the anomaly very quickly.'
On the other side, not long after Conan took action, he saw three familiar figures playing with a remote-controlled airplane.
These three familiar figures are none other than Conan's classmates at Teitan Elementary School, or members of the Detective Boys: Ayumi Yoshida, Genta Kojima, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
Upon seeing familiar faces, Conan was initially taken aback, then his gaze fell upon the remote-controlled airplanes in their hands.
As if he had thought of something, Conan rushed straight towards the three of them.
Unbeknownst to Conan, who was on his way, the mysterious person who made the phone call was watching his every move from the rooftop of a high-rise building not far from Tsugawa Green Park.
No, more accurately, they were monitoring the every move of Ayumi Yoshida, Genta Kojima, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
Naturally, the mysterious man also noticed Conan rushing towards them.
Upon seeing this, the mysterious man frowned slightly, looking at Conan through the binoculars, and muttered, "Isn't this the kid who used to follow Kogoro Mouri around? What's he doing here?"
