"I seriously didn't think you would go through with it," said Ai Haibara, removing the needle from Conan's arm. "Genta was probably joking when he said it,"
"I'm even surprised you could even make such a thing," said Conan, annoyed and rubbing his stomach.
"You tend to come up with a lot of crazy things when you're working to reverse a fountain of youth," sighed Ai, shrugging her shoulders.
"So you think it will work?" asked Conan.
"The lab mice showed a positive effect. The subject grew double in mass in just a week," said Ai, "But humans are diffferent...so I estimate...you'll be as fat as that kid was in three weeks,"
"Ugh...I never though I'd have to become fatter than Genta to solve a case..." frowned Conan, arms folded across his chest, before his stomach began to growl.

(Earlier that day...)
"Whoa...he was huge..." thought Conan with a sweatdrop, as he looked at the photo of a fat little boy, sucking on a lolipop. He was a blonde with a big fat belly and chubby cheeks. He was the fattest kid Conan ever saw, easily a dozen lbs heavier than Genta...or maybe even 2 dozen.
Wakamashi Benki, Age 10
WHAM!!!
"Ow, what was that for?!!!" frowned Conan, rubbing the bump on his head from Kogoro's fist.
"Don't stare at the victim's photo in front of his sad mother," whispered an annoyed Kogoro, before looking back to the sobbing chubby woman in front of him.
{Wakamashi Suzu, Age 42. Widow/i}
"I'm sorry, Detective. Its been six years since my little baby disappeared," cried Suzu.
"So why did you hire me again?" asked Kogoro.
"I found evidence about his disappearance," said Suzu, "I was going through his things when I find this," She pulled out a journal, and said, "He wrote down his whole planned day...the day he disappeared,"
"So you think that could that lead to who kidnapped him?" asked Kogoro, remembering that case. The son of a late and wealthy business disappeared one day and was found dead a week later, his body dumped in the river.
"Yes...if we could just retrace his steps..." said Suzu, as Conan snuck by the two and opened the journal. He pulled out his smart phone and took some pictures of the notes, before getting lifted by a familar hand.
"Enough, you little pest!" shouted Kogoro, before throwing Conan out.
Conan landed at the feet of a passing by man in a business suit.
"Oh? Where'd you come from, little boy?" asked the man, a greasy smile on his face, one that unnerved Conan.
"Uh...I'm Moori-san's assistant," smiled Conan, nervously.
"Oh right...my wife hired him to find out about her son...I do hope you find something to get her closure..." said the man, before walking away.
Wakamashi Kai. Business owner
"That man married into the Wakamishi family sometime after Benki's father died...Benki was set to inherit the fortune..." thought Conan, suspicious.
Later...
"UGH!!!! I can't figure it out!" shouted Conan, having go down the list several times in one day. He just couldn't figure out why retracing Benki's steps wasn't working out so well for him.
"Hey Conan, what's up?"
Conan looked to see his friends, the Detective Boys, looking at him. He figured they'd press into it, so he told them about the case.
"Hey...I got an idea why you're not getting anything..." chuckled Genta.
"What?" asked Conan, curious.
"Because you're too thin, Conan! If you really want to walk in someone's shoes...you should be able to fit them...and his pants!" laughed Genta.
"...wait a second..." began Conan.

"So you're using my fat formula to get as fat as that kid," said Ai, as she and Conan ate some take out she confiscated from Agasa.
"It's not my first choice...but maybe there's something to it...if I'm as fat as Benki was, I could get into his role and figure this case out," said Conan, before biting into his hamburger.
Ai grinned a bit when she looked at Conan's waist...he was already getting a nice little belly.
