Stay away from Conan.

"what?"

Seeing Xiao Ai reacting like this, Gao Yuan didn't react at all and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Regarding this, Xiao Ai looked a little helpless and explained:

"It's not so much about your expression...it's more about intuition...because I feel...a faint, organized aura from you.

"However, the fact that you can enter this basement means that you are not someone else pretending to be someone else, so there is a high probability that you may have come into contact with someone related to the organization not long ago.

"At the same time, if the situation is really related to the organization, and you have also come into contact with the organization's personnel, although you are a little anxious, you don't have that very urgent feeling... So, I think the situation may still be under your control. , that’s why you didn’t choose to tell me clearly...

"So, I simply cheated..."

Saying this, Xiao Ai paused for a moment, his expression looked very serious, he looked at Gao Yuan and said:
"But I also said... why do you need to hide this kind of thing from me? If you really encounter something related to the organization, you can discuss it with me!"

Frankly, Xiao Ai expressed her inner thoughts to Gao Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Ai's response, Gao Yuan seemed a little moved -

Originally, Xiao Ai in the original work wanted to escape as much as possible when facing organization-related matters for a long time...

However, Xiao Ai right now...

I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but it seems that during the Hokkaido incident, Xiao Ai had the courage to face the organization directly.

This is an obvious deviation from the original work. Gao Yuan cannot tell the specific reason for it, but he is certain that it is related to his appearance and the changes in Xiao Ai's experience.

In this regard, looking at Xiao Ai's resolute look, Gao Yuan sighed slightly, thought for a while, and without hiding anything, he explained to Xiao Ai what happened to Belmod today -

"Belmod found me."

Seriously, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan summarized the situation when he met Belmode.

Suddenly, after hearing these words, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief:

"Belmod? Found you? What do you mean!"

The voice sounded very anxious, and Xiao Ai stood up from her seat, came to Gao Yuan in surprise, stared at Gao Yuan and said.

Such a reaction was within Gao Yuan's expectation, but...

Seeing Xiao Ai's anxious look, but he didn't ask questions immediately, but nervously waited for him to continue talking. Gao Yuan didn't let Xiao Ai wait for long, and simply told Xiao Ai exactly what happened. told it once——

From the time Belmode disguised Kudo Yukiko to help Conan disguise his identity in front of Xiaolan, and then after he was exposed by himself after being alone in the car with him, what Belmode said to himself...

In this way, after listening to these strange situations that even Gao Yuan himself could not fully understand, Xiao Ai looked shocked and confused...

"So...you are Cointreau's back-up man?"

Subconsciously, Xiao Ai faced such a situation and couldn't help but feel that Bermod's guess about Gao Yuan was reasonable. But soon, Xiao Ai shook her head and denied:
"No. If you were 'Cointreau's back-up', then you shouldn't have known nothing before, and it took us so long to investigate and barely know anything about Cointreau... But obviously, our understanding of Cointreau , coupled with your appearance, this completely unexpected coincidence made Belmod think that you might be related to Cointreau, so..." Having said this, Xiao Ai analyzed it by himself and thought seriously. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Gao Yuan and said:

"What is the connection between Belmode and Cointreau?"

In this way, after seeing Xiao Ai still looking so calm after listening to all the situations he described, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at her in surprise. He thought that hearing that Belmode had found him meant that he , his residence, and even Xiao Ai's existence should have been discovered by Belmod. Xiao Ai should be extremely worried now, but he didn't expect Xiao Ai to be so calm now.

Involuntarily, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Ai, a little surprised——

"What's wrong? Look at me like that?"

Seemingly noticing Gao Yuan's gaze, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask.

"No... I just didn't expect you to be so calm now..."

Gao Yuan said this and felt a little relieved——

After all, in the original work, when Xiao Ai learned that Belmode had appeared around him, he was very frightened.

——Can you be so calm now?In other words, Gao Yuan doesn't think he should be calm at this time?
Thinking about this, Xiao Ai sighed a little helplessly, and said with a hint of regret:
"Is this how you see me?"

After saying that, before Gao Yuan could refute, Xiao Ai was minding her own business and murmured:

"Admittedly, normally, I should be scared when I hear a high-level figure in the organization like Belmode appear around me, or even if the other party knows your existence...

"However, maybe it's because we already had expectations about this? After all, we guessed that Bellmode might be related to Cointreau, so when we knew that this incident had happened, it wasn't that surprising. .

"It would be better to say that her reaction to you explains a lot of problems, and it also corresponds to some of our previous guesses..."

So, Xiao Ai said this, looked at Gao Yuan, and saw that he was also thinking, Xiao Ai couldn't help but said:
"How do you think Cointreau and Belmode first became connected?"

Then, Xiao Ai asked Gao Yuan this question.

Gao Yuan, who was a little surprised by this, thought for a while, and then said with a little surprise:
"Maybe... as early as 20 years ago, when Cointreau was still organizing!"

Gao Yuan had not thought about this issue in detail before. It was just because of what Bellmode told him that he knew that Jundu might have died. Maybe Bellmode was involved in it in some way, but he had not seriously considered it. If Cointreau and Bellmode have a close relationship, so when did this relationship begin——

If Cointeau had no contact with Belmod before Cointreau fled the organization, then why would Belmod return to Japan nearly 20 years later before Cointreau died without telling everyone?

At this point in time, Belmod's return to Japan must be related to Cointreau's death.

Therefore, the connection between Bellmode and Cointreau must have occurred before Cointreau escaped from the organization...

No, it's even possible that Cointreau was able to escape perfectly for so many years, and Belmod might also have contributed!
In this case, the relationship between these two people will be extended to 20 years. With such a long-term connection, there must be a secret between Belmode and Cointreau!

"So...in this case, do you know that Belmod probably knew what my parents were researching back then?"

Seriously, Xiao Ai actually told Gao Yuan this conjecture frankly. (End of chapter)
