Conan didn't know when the black lines on his forehead turned into cold sweat.

What does this little girl in front of me mean?

Could it be that the other party suspects that my name is a pseudonym... But on what basis?

A little girl...

Conan began to look people straight in the eye and glanced at Shirley seriously a few times, but couldn't see any clues.

Then, their eyes moved upwards and met each other's gazes, giving the impression of elementary school students making an appointment to fight after school and releasing their auras to each other.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop doing that." Dr. Agasa pulled the two apart, complaining in his heart that Shinichi was already seventeen years old, yet he was still arguing with a child.

He looked at Shirley with a kind look and said, "Little friend, do you still remember where your home is? Or do you have a home phone number or something like that?"

Shirley brushed the hair by her ear and pointed out the window with her right hand: "That's my home."

Conan and Dr. Agasa looked in the direction of the finger, and the next moment their expressions fell at the same time.

"That's the Kudo family. I don't remember there being such a young child in the Kudo family."

Dr. Agasa glanced at Conan, as if asking, does your father have another woman outside?

Or, this girl is actually the daughter born to the Kudo couple in the United States.

This hair color...Yukiko seems to have this color hair.

"Impossible, my mother's brown hair is dyed, she actually has black hair." Conan saw Dr. Agasa's suspicion and whispered in his ear.

"I see. But if that's the case, then this girl is..."

"That's even more impossible. This little girl looks six or seven years old, eight at most. My dad was busy with his manuscripts every day for those two years. How could he have the time... Besides, my dad isn't that kind of person."

Professor Agasa gave Conan a teasing look. Shinichi's thoughts on adult matters were still too naive.

"That's Shinichi's brother's house, how can it be your home?"

"Actually..." Shirley squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes and bit her lip and said, "I am actually my father's illegitimate daughter. I just came back from the United States. This time I came back to find my brother."

"Brother?" Dr. Agasa was confused and believed it most of the time. How could such a cute little girl lie?

"Shinichi, I think you are still..."

Dr. Agasa was just about to call Kudo Yusaku to confirm. If it was true, he would have to ask the Kudo couple to come back.

"Impossible!" Conan firmly pushed Dr. Agasa away, took two steps forward and came to Shirley and said, "You said you are the daughter of Kudo Yusaku, do you have any evidence?"

"No." Shirley paused, put her hands behind her back, and leaned forward as if observing Conan's expression.

Seeing Conan's uncertain face, she didn't wait for Conan to speak, and said: "But, you said your name is Edogawa Conan, and you don't have any evidence."

"My identity is registered with the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"It's not like I don't know what the situation is with Neon's population information system. This doesn't prove anything. Unless your parents appear in front of me right now, your name might just be randomly chosen."

Conan chokes (*⊙_⊙).

It is a bit novel that a little girl actually noticed that Neon’s population information system has big loopholes.

Moreover, the more they talked, the more he felt that there was something seriously wrong with this little girl. She didn't behave like an elementary school student at all. Instead, she was just like him...

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Shirley waved her hand. She felt that Conan had been speechless and her face suddenly became serious.

It only took a moment for her expression to change from pitiful to solemn. The more Conan watched, the more frightened he became. The speed at which her expression changed was almost as fast as his own mother's.

Before he could think too much, the other party's next words made his legs go weak.

"Your real name is Kudo Shinichi, and you are the son of Kudo Yusaku at 21 Beika-cho -chome."

Chapter 192: A Warm Greeting

"Due to an accident, you went from being a 17-year-old high school student to a first-grade elementary school student.

After becoming small, you lived in the home of your childhood sweetheart, Maori Ran, and solved many cases with the help of Detective Maori Kogoro.

It should be exciting to hide your identity and live in your childhood sweetheart's house... maybe you can see something that makes you blush and your heart beat faster."

Conan was horrified, his violently beating heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and boundless darkness came from all directions, gradually enveloping him.

"Dr. Agasa!"

He turned to look at Dr. Agasa, hoping that he could give an answer.

I hope this little girl is just a joke from Dr. Agasa, otherwise things will be serious.

Dr. Agasa shook his head dumbfoundedly, "I haven't told her your identity. Even if I mentioned your name, she shouldn't know it so clearly."

That's true. It sounds more like something he found out through investigation rather than something Dr. Agasa told him.

Also, he didn't understand what blushing and heartbeating meant.

Who on earth is this little brat...

"Who the hell are you?" Conan took two steps back, bending his knees slightly, as if he would squat down and turn the knob of his foot-strengthening shoes if the other party didn't give him a reasonable explanation.

"So, do you admit that you are Kudo Shinichi?"

Shirley smiled slightly. After being in the organization for a long time, he became a bit sinister, especially after coming into contact with Tequila recently. This guy likes this style.

How uncomfortable she felt before, how happy she felt now. It was really fun to tease others like this, so much so that she didn't even want to explain her identity.

But this obviously wouldn't work. Looking at Kudo Shinichi's posture, it seemed as if he would attack and hurt someone if she didn't give a reasonable explanation.

Her body shrank, and her strength and stamina became no different from those of an ordinary child. Coupled with her cold and fever, if Conan wanted to attack her, she would have no ability to resist at all.

A porcelain doll that falls over at the slightest touch.

The two men stood facing each other, their eyes met, and their gazes seemed to materialize into red and blue lightning, colliding anxiously.

Dr. Agasa was standing aside, not quite sure what he should do. He didn't know how to resolve a quarrel between kids. All his skill points were focused on science, and in other aspects he was no different from an ordinary person.

What should ordinary people do now?

Should he be standing by and eating melon?

Dr. Agasa suddenly came to his senses and stood aside with his ears pricked up, wanting to know the identity of this little girl and why she knew about Shinichi.

No, it's not just knowing, it's knowing Conan inside and out.

"Who are you?" Conan clenched his fists and had some guesses.

As for the other party's questions, he would not answer them, because answering at this time would put him in a passive position.

"It seems you have already guessed..."

Shirley smiled sinisterly, with her arms folded across her chest. Her pale face looked particularly terrifying in Conan's eyes.

While Sherry was playing tricks on Conan, Gin sent out multiple teams to look for Sherry.

"To be honest, if there are no footprints, she probably didn't pass through here...No normal person would choose to leave through the sewer. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just take a taxi?"

Xiachuan wore a mask and frowned, saying that he couldn't complain. Gin was too rigorous and even the sewer was not spared.

After staying in the sewer for more than an hour, the mask was no longer useful. Xia Chuan felt that he urgently needed a gas mask.

No, the gas mask affects the disguise mask, but the mask is less likely to cause accidents.

Gin was also outrageous. He actually asked all peripheral and code members to conduct a carpet search within the Rice Flower Cup household.

As Gin's most trusted people, he and Vodka were sent to the "bitter and cold place" - the sewer.

"Indeed, we'll go up after we get through this sewer." Vodka also had a sad face, feeling extremely helpless. "Where on earth did that damn woman Shirley go? The ventilation duct is so small, how could she get out from there?"

Until now, Vodka still couldn't figure out the reason, but the only way to escape from the institute without being discovered was through the ventilation duct.

But unless you are a very small child, it is impossible to squeeze out of that ventilation duct.

"How should I know what you were doing last night? Why didn't you notice that Shirley had escaped?" Xia Chuan was the first to attack. This matter had nothing to do with him, and he was not permanently stationed at Baijiu Pharmaceutical.

Vodka looked around and whispered mysteriously into Xia Chuan's ear.

Xia Chuan pushed him away. There were stains, dust and bad breath on the other person's mask.

Besides, there are only two of them in the sewer now, so there is no need to talk like that.

Vodka was not annoyed. He took out a new mask from his pocket and put it on, then said, "Last night we found someone investigating the electricity usage of Baijiu Pharmaceutical. If it weren't for the people at the power bureau, we wouldn't have discovered it.

Because of this incident, my brother and I wasted several hours outside, and when we came back, Shirley had disappeared. "

"Investigating Baijiu Pharmaceutical's electricity usage? Do you know who they are? If we have been discovered, why haven't we evacuated yet?" Xia Chuan asked with a frown.

The other party was most likely from the Neon Public Security Bureau. As expected, Yuri had a high probability of discovering Baijiu Pharmaceutical, but why hasn't he taken any action yet?

"It's not a big problem. My brother and I followed the other party yesterday and found that they were investigating all companies with abnormal electricity usage. For a company as big as Mihua and Beihu, there must be at least 20 companies with abnormal electricity usage. And that group of people seems to be from the Metropolitan Police Department. If they are not the public security, there will be no impact on us. At most we will have to pay a small fine."

Because of the existence of the underground research institute, Baijiu Pharmaceutical's electricity consumption naturally exceeded the upper limit of a normal pharmaceutical company. However, many companies on the market now have problems with electricity consumption, and Vodka did not take it to heart and just treated it as a normal electricity investigation.

Moreover, over the past few years, Baijiu Pharmaceutical has paid many fines for abnormal electricity usage, it's just that this year's fine came a little earlier.

"That's not right. Normal electricity inspections affect fire safety, right? The fire department should be in charge of it. Why is it the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Xiachuan frowned. It seemed that Gin didn't take this matter to heart. This was a reminder for Gin.

Vodka was stunned for a moment, but then waved his hand nonchalantly: "Because Shirley escaped, Baijiu Pharmaceutical can no longer be used as a scientific research base. Since three o'clock in the morning, a large number of research equipment have been transported to the safe house.

Once the important equipment is transported away, Baijiu Pharmaceutical will be burned down. No matter what the purpose of this investigation is, by the time they confirm that there is a problem with Baijiu Pharmaceutical, it will be too late.

After all, there are twenty of them. By the time they confirm that Baijiu Pharmaceutical is available, we will have already left."

Xia Chuan shook his head and declined to comment. It was hard to say. If Yuri knew that it was a scientific research base, then Baijiu Pharmaceutical, a research-oriented company, would easily attract attention.

The two of them patrolled the entire sewer smoothly and found no trace of Shirley.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as he returned to the ground, Vodka found Xiachuan walking towards the car alone.

According to the eldest brother's request, after the search in the sewer was fruitless, they also had to retrieve surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store.

As for whether the convenience store agrees or not, haha, they have forged Metropolitan Police Department documents, so it won't be a problem for them to pretend to be the search division and ask for surveillance.

"I think there's something wrong with this investigation. I'm going to go find my brother. You take care of the surveillance first. I'll come back to you when I'm done."

Gin was very angry this time, but he did not go down to look for him himself.

If it was a week ago, he might have to go out and search by himself, but now that he has Tequila, a smart man, under his command, he doesn't have to work so hard.

After Xia Chuan returned to Baijiu Pharmaceutical, he drove around the area and checked all possible surveillance points.

"Fortunately, Yuri may still be in the screening stage, so there is still time..."

Back at the underground research institute of Hakuba Pharmaceutical, Natsukawa went straight to Gin.

"Brother..."

"Tequila, what are you doing back?" Gin's tone was very unhappy. It was unclear whether it was because of Shirley or something else.

Shirley's disappearance made him extremely angry, and he was scolded by his boss for this. He wanted to force the other party to death, but he didn't expect that the other party would escape when he was not paying attention.

Until now he still couldn't figure out how Shirley managed to get out through such a small ventilation duct, but there was no other possibility except that ventilation duct, right?

Or maybe this ventilation duct was just a cover, and someone in the organization secretly took Shirley away.

However, he checked the surveillance footage of the past two days but could not find anyone who might have let Shirley go.

The last time he and Vodka entered the storage room to see Shirley was when he and Vodka entered. After that, no one entered or left the storage room until they discovered that Shirley had disappeared.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Gin put these things aside for the time being. Tequila suddenly came back, which gave him a bad feeling.

"We may be being targeted." Xia Chuan looked directly at Gin and said word by word, "I heard from Vodka that someone went to the power bureau to check the electricity usage last night. It is very likely that someone is looking for us, and the most likely person is the public security police.

They often use the name of the Metropolitan Police Department, but this time they did it in a way that backfired. Power inspections are part of the fire department's job, and they used the wrong name, which exposed their true colors and allowed me to discover them."

"Public security police?" Gin narrowed his eyes, couldn't help but stand up and began to pace: "Do you have any evidence?"

Xia Chuan shook his head and said firmly, "There is no evidence, this is just my speculation. When I came back just now, I checked the area nearby and did not find any arrangements made by the police.

However, just because they haven’t found anything now doesn’t mean they won’t take action next. Once they finish the screening, they will probably take action later.”

"There is no reason. Why would they suddenly start investigating us and even know that we have a base in Beihua or Haido?" Gin was puzzled.

"I'm afraid it's related to blackmail. Suzuki Jirokichi didn't hide the fact that he was blackmailed. I'm afraid the police have discovered some clues."

This was an excuse that Natsukawa had thought of a long time ago, and it was also the reason why he did not emphasize that he was Kaito Kid when he was trading with Suzuki Jirokichi.

The reason why Kaito sent out another notice was to have an excuse later, so that Gin could direct the criticism towards other aspects and exclude himself and Miyano Akemi.

Otherwise, if Gin were to investigate the traitor, Natsukawa might not be able to keep his identity secret.
