Hc that when the media dropped the 'highschool' from Shinichi's detective title once he graduated, they latched onto a new one: The Kid Saviour

i know this sounds lame af but hear me out i'm going for the opposite of 'kid killer' and i think this is the funniest dumbest thing LOL

Apparently, Shinichi saving a kidnapped child―in his actual age body!―that one time plus paparazzis taking pictures of him being trailed by the detective boys everywhere is proof enough that he adores kids (he denies it he does tho but admits that he's begrudgingly fond) and will put his life on the line to save them (he will but that's true for all living things so.)

He becomes some sort of Protector of the Children™ in the eyes of the general public to the point where parents would teach their children, "Don't talk to strangers but if you're ever in trouble and you see this man, you go up to him and ask for help."

Of course, the parents' definition of trouble is far more nefarious than their children's innocent interpretation so while some kids will walk up to Shinichi and ask for help because they're lost or hurt, others will ask help on more pressing matters like:

"Onii-san, what do I do? I broke my mom's favorite cup. 😥"

or "Kudou-san, can you please teach me fractions? 😣"

or "Shin-niichan, I can't open my water bottle. Can you open it for me? 😔"

(the last kid just copied how their parents calls shinichi, okay! they're a fan of shin-chan, okay!!)

That's how Shinichi ends up doing odd jobs for random children (because he cannot say no to the little gremlins and he became used to it during his Conan Days™ anyways so.)
