Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
The two chatted for a while and sorted out the context of the matter a little bit.
......
Conan sat dejectedly in the Beetle.
Outside, Dr. Agasa was calling a tow truck.
The Rice Flower Hotel was extremely bustling, and the area was filled with Rice Flower citizens who came to watch the fun.
There were crowds of people, and the sound of conversation was constant, but the mood was quite stable.
"Haibara, because I was captured by the organization."
Conan was in low spirits, with his head lowered and his whole body weak.
Gin left no trace and was so steady that he could even blow up a Porsche 356a to destroy the evidence.
That's right, from his perspective, the car was blown up by Gin himself.
It might be to prevent leaving any clues, plus he had installed a bugging device before, so doing so could completely avoid being targeted by him again.
Before long, there were a few more police cars than before.
The one who came after hearing the news was Odagiri Toshiro.
Inspector Megure found the body of Kenzo Masuyama in the wine cellar of the Beika Hotel. Together with the previous death of Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi, two important figures died in the Beika Hotel in one night.
Although it has been confirmed that Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi was killed by Kenzo Masuyama, Inspector Megure has not found the murderer who killed Kenzo Masuyama.
Coupled with the exploded Porsche 356a at the door, the whole case was shrouded in mystery.
He couldn't afford to take responsibility for this matter, so he had to ask the leader for help.
Reporters quickly arrived, asking about this case that had shocked the whole country, and vying to contribute their modest efforts to the freedom of information in Japan.
Conan can be sure that the death of Kenzo Masuyama was caused by Gin.
Apart from the Black Organization, no one dared to kill two big men in succession in one night.
As a code member of the Black Organization and ostensibly the president of a car company, Gin was ruthless to such a heavyweight code member. Conan did not expect Gin to be so decisive and ruthless, catching him off guard.
In this case, the possibility of Haibara Ai surviving is very slim.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on installing the bug, Gin wouldn't have found out. If I had stopped in time when Gin found out, handed the case over to the police, and returned home to quietly wait for news, Haibara Ai might not have gotten into trouble at all."
"She was so careful every day, researching an antidote for me and for those who took APTX4869, but in the end, it was all in vain."
Conan looked up at the roof of the car blankly. The dark roof was just like the road ahead for him.
Once Haibara Ai dies, perhaps the possibility of him growing up again will completely disappear.
"Xiaolan..."
It will take another ten years for him to grow up again. By that time, Xiaolan will be 27 years old. With such a long time, can their relationship really withstand the ravages of time?
For the first time, Conan felt panic in his heart.
Before Haibara Ai appeared, perhaps because he didn't know about the medicine, he still expected the Black Organization to develop an antidote. But Haibara said that becoming smaller was just an accident, and the Black Organization didn't know that the medicine had such an effect, let alone researching an antidote.
Therefore, Conan placed his hopes for the antidote on Haibara Ai, but in the end he ended up sending her to her death with his own hands.
In a trance, Conan suddenly felt someone calling him. He lowered his head, wiped away his tears, and pretended to be strong.
"What's wrong, Dr. Agasa?"
"Xiao Ai called and said she wanted to see you."
Dr. Agasa handed over the phone with a smile.
To be honest, when he first received the call from Haibara Ai, he was a little bit unbelievable. Fortunately, Ai was really fine. Not only was she safe and sound, she had even returned home.
"Is she okay?"
Conan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't believe it but couldn't wait to confirm it.
He snatched the phone and yelled, "What happened on the rooftop, and what's your situation now?"
"Calm down a little first."
Haibara Ai's voice returned to normal, but it was a little hoarse, not sure if it was because of a cold or because she had shouted too loudly just now.
"How do you ask me to calm down!"
He had tried hard for a long time to accept the news that Haibara Ai was dead, to accept that even her body had been taken away by Gin, and to accept that his own growth had become impossible.
I have made up my mind to protect Xiaolan for ten years and let her be a single dog for the next ten years.
Before I even started planning how to deal with the Black Organization and avenge Haibara Ai, I received a call from them.
And the voice is so bland.
"What happened on the rooftop? Did you crush the detective badge yourself?"
"I crushed it. Your voice was too loud, and don't you think some of the words were rude?"
"Aha?"
Conan's momentum was lost, and Doudouyan recalled that if he remembered correctly, he asked the other person whether he was wearing clothes.
"That's obviously caring, okay? And what I like is..."
"It's your childhood sweetheart, Xiaolan, right?"
Huihara Ai changed the subject directly: "Okay! I'm home safely now. Gin didn't see me shrink, so they should have left. You should leave quickly too, and don't be discovered."
Conan still has many questions he wants to know, so he naturally won’t let Haibara Ai go easily.
"Hey, what's with the bullets and vodka bottle fragments on the rooftop?"
"It was Tequila, that guy saved me."
Unable to reveal Aunt Joel's identity, Haibara Ai could only use tequila as an excuse.
(Ask for monthly ticket)
Chapter 316 Sorry, it’s all Anya’s fault!
This excuse is still very reasonable. After all, Tequila is a member of the organization, so it is normal for him to know Gin's movements.
After thinking for a moment, Conan believed what Haibara Ai said. If it was tequila, it could indeed be explained.
"He saved you in this situation. Surely, he has relatives or friends who were poisoned by that drug. But, wouldn't that expose his identity? Gin will not let go of those who betrayed the organization, right?"
Akemi Miyano is a good example.
"No, the situation was complicated and I can't go into detail. Anyway, Gin didn't recognize him as Tequila."
"That's good."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Tequila is a mysterious traitor, at least he is friendly to them now and can be used. It is best not to expose him!
However, the fact that the other party knew his identity was still a pain point. He had to confirm Tequila's identity as soon as possible. Even if they wanted to cooperate, it should be based on mutual understanding. Now he was at a huge disadvantage and knew nothing about Tequila.
Conan paused and thought of an idea to find out Tequila's true identity.
"Is there any way to get the drug usage list? If we want to know Tequila's identity, we might have to start from the drug usage list and find the person behind him who was also shrunk by the drugs."
Conan began to talk to himself: "According to what you said before, Tequila is a person who suddenly rose in the organization this year. He had been unknown before. His rise must be related to APTX4869. The person next to him who was harmed by the drug might have taken this drug and become smaller this year. As long as we can get the list of drug use within this year, we will definitely be able to find something."
Haibara Ai listened silently, rolled her eyes, and poured a bucket of cold water on him as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Do you know how many people Gin has killed this year? Do you know how many people other branches of the organization have killed? After this drug was developed, it was not only used in Neon. Moreover, I did not bring out the drug use list of the Neon branch of the organization, let alone other branches."
"Besides, it is basically impossible to obtain the list. This kind of information is stored in the organization's base. There is no such thing in the information brought by Tequila. It is impossible to start from this direction."
"As long as the organization is still there, there will be a chance!" Conan shook his head and looked at the Porsche 356a whose fire had been put out.
"Then we will exclude those who are confirmed dead or have corpses from the list, and the number should be reduced to single digits!"
Huiyuan Ai pondered for a moment, "You are indeed very smart."
Conan's meaning is very simple, which is to find people like him who disappeared after taking drugs and whose bodies cannot be found.
Haibara Ai smiled. Although Tequila was just an excuse she made up temporarily, it didn't mean that she didn't want to know Tequila's identity. The plan proposed by Conan was quite good.
However, the prerequisite is to obtain the organization’s drug usage list.
"We should think about this matter carefully. We can't go ahead and do it again like this. The bug has been discovered but we still have to go ahead and put you and me in danger."
Haibara Ai was quite dissatisfied with this. She almost lost her life. It was a sign of her good self-cultivation that she did not lose her temper.
God knows how despaired she felt when she saw Gin and Aunt Joel who had not yet taken off her mask.
"Don't worry. After this incident, I won't do anything rash if I'm not sure."
"hope so."
There was a busy tone on the phone, and Conan was a little dissatisfied with Haibara Ai's last words.
But the good news that his teammates were safe and sound allowed him to suppress his dissatisfaction.
The Beika Hotel incident may have been resolved hastily today, and he may not be able to catch the culprit Gin for Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi and Pisco, but this is only temporary.
Now he has a new breakthrough - Tequila!
Although he still has to start with the Black Organization to make this breakthrough, he is still very confident. Detectives never lack the courage to explore the truth, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and even if they may fall on the road.
As long as the Black Organization is still active, it will eventually be exposed, and it is only a matter of time before it gets the list.
"By the way, when the explosion happened just now, I seemed to see the man from the Black Organization you mentioned."
After Dr. Agasa finished dealing with the Beetle, he remembered some clues and turned around to say, "There are four of them coming at once, plus the dead Pisker, a total of five. They really value Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi."
Conan was startled when he heard this.
"Four people? Isn't it two people?"
Excluding Pisco, there should only be Gin and Vodka. How could there be others?
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The silver-haired man and the fat guy, a combination of tall, short, fat and thin is quite rare. They should be the Gin and Vodka you mentioned. There are two other people standing with them, which is quite suspicious now that I think about it."
Dr. Agasa looked up and recalled, "But I can't be completely sure. At the time, there were reporters and onlookers at the door, and it was quite chaotic. I didn't see their faces clearly. I just took a quick glance and it should be a woman and a man."
Conan's face darkened.
A woman and a man.
What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
"Both of them seemed to be dressed very formally. The moment I saw them, the explosion happened, and then my glasses were blown off, and I didn't have time to see their faces clearly."
"Formal attire?"
Before coming, Conan had investigated and found out that there was only a memorial service at the Rice Flower Hotel tonight and no other banquets. In this case, were these two people hiding among the participants?
"Damn it, it happened right under my nose..."
Conan was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
The four men had already left, and now all he could do was review the situation, like a seasoned hunter waiting for the next opportunity to catch prey.
......
It was already past twelve o'clock when Xia Chuan returned home.
Today is a little special, the lights in the living room are still on.
Joel, Anya, Haibara Ai and Bond, the three of them and the dog were all waiting for him to come home.
"I am back."
As usual, Xia Chuan hung up his windbreaker, walked into the living room and threw a few snacks to Bond.
In his heart, he was silently observing the expressions of Yoel and Haibara Ai.
Both of them came back and were waiting for him in the living room. Does this mean that after Joel took Huibara Ai away, he and the other party informed each other of their identities?
What's next? Does Yoel plan to confess to him? What about Haibara Ai?
If the two of them confess, should I also confess my identity, tell Haibara Ai that I am a spy, and bring Tequila from the dark to the light?
There was nothing unusual on Yoel's face, but he never took his eyes off him for even a second.
