Summary

Xia Ri, a young man of Chinese-Japanese descent, returns to Beika, Tokyo, after graduating from the Royal Academy of Arts in England. He intends to focus on painting, but a good Samaritan act brings him into contact with the bumbling policewoman Sato Miwako, and his neighbor Mouri Kogoro draws him into the world of detectives. A circle gradually gathers around him: Haibara Ai, taken in as a younger sister; Suzuki Sonoko, who calls herself his biggest fan; and female characters such as Miyamoto Yumi, Kisaki Eri, and Vermouth. The story is linked by cases; Xia Ri participates in solving them through observation and deduction, and also interacts with original characters such as the Mouri family and the Detective Boys. The romance line and the case line advance together.

Editor's review

This is a fan-fiction mystery built on Detective Conan, with an original Chinese-Japanese painter protagonist who enters the world of cases through the Mouri Kogoro family. The appeal lies in interactions with original characters and light, comedic daily life; the opening mix-up of the policewoman arresting the wrong person sets the tone, and most cases are rewrites or extensions of original events. Weaknesses are also clear: the deduction is not hardcore, the multiple-heroine setup leans otaku, and the barrier is high for those unfamiliar with the source. Suitable for fans of Conan fan fiction and light detective stories.
