Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1809 Cooperation Experiment

"Let's start over."

In response to James' question, Shuichi Akai replied:

  In response to this, James could not help but nodded slightly, and said as if he had a premonition:

"Well, it's a simple truth to get up from where you fell... So, what are you going to do? You successfully grabbed the left and right arms of that person, but as for the original..."

"Do not……"

  Having said that, Akai Shuichi took the initiative to stop James from speaking and began to speak:

"Now we have new intelligence... The failure of the original operation might be due to their second-in-command's direct dispatch. Therefore, I should set my goals for the long term..."

"So, you took the initiative to let go of the person who had fallen into our hands?"

James asked calmly.

"No...or rather, this is the price of obtaining intelligence."

At this point, Akai Shuichi said this seriously.

So, after hearing what Akai Shuichi said to him in person, James thought about it for a while and sighed slightly.

"It seems that the timing situation here is far more complicated than the report you submitted."

"That's why I have to rely on you to take charge of the situation."

At this point, Akai Shuichi said this in a slightly joking tone...

……

"The foreigner disappeared without a trace before the statement was taken..."

On the other hand, after the criminal who wanted to kidnap Mr. Hawke but mistakenly took Mr. James as his target was successfully captured and taken away by the police, facing the fact that James finally disappeared, although Xiao Ai already knew Gao Yuan's attitude towards this person, she still tried to ask Conan for his opinion:

"Don't you find it strange?"

"Will he? He seems fine."

Conan replied casually, and then couldn't help but get a cold look from Ai -

"It's just that the name is a bit strange."

Seeing the look that Ai was giving him, Conan finally changed his words slightly and said this.

"Name? Because 'Black'?"

A little confused, Xiao Ai asked back unexpectedly, after all, "black" pronounced "Blake" means "black".

"No! It's James."

But at this point, Conan denied it.

"Really? James Bond, James Dean... I think this name is not bad."

  Ai was puzzled, but then Conan read out a name:

"James Moriarty..."

"what?"

  Now, as the name appeared, Xiao Ai was stunned, but then Conan finally smiled and said:

"Haha... Or maybe it's just Sherlock Holmes fans who think so. After all, the name James is still very common..."

After hearing this, Xiao Ai's expression became even more indifferent. She felt that there was no need to talk to Conan about this.

I should go back and ask Gao Yuan. After all, he seems to know the other party's true identity...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai didn't plan to continue chatting with Conan, so she was about to leave and walked towards the direction of the Junior Detective Team. But seeing this, Conan couldn't help but feel bad, and realized that it was not a solution to drag it on like this. Since it was something that had to be faced sooner or later, he should just -

"Wait a moment!"

  Conan hurriedly called out to Ai with a smile on his face, but Ai turned away indifferently and asked:

"what happened?"

So, faced with this situation, Conan thought about it and decided to get straight to the point:

"Um... since the last antidote didn't work for us, have you made any progress in developing a new antidote?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai finally understood what Conan was planning, and couldn't help but let out a faint smile.

It seems that Edogawa couldn't hold back anymore.

  So, in response to Conan's question, Ai immediately said with confusion:

"What's wrong? Is there something that you need an antidote to deal with?"

So, hearing Xiao Ai's ambiguous response, but watching her expression change, Conan knew that she was deliberately avoiding the subject, but she had the final say on the antidote, so Conan had no other choice but to suppress his inner depression and continued to ask with a smile:

"Well... I'm concerned about your research... How is it going? Any progress? Have you made any antidotes? If you're worried about the results, I can also cooperate with you in the experiment!"

Having said that, Conan felt extremely depressed at the moment. However, since Huibara should have taken the new antidote before, his so-called "cooperation in the experiment" was actually to ask Huibara directly for the antidote that had been proven to be effective. So in order to get this, Conan was obviously prepared -

Endure it!

As for this, looking at Conan's slightly interesting look, she couldn't help but smile slightly. She knew clearly in her heart that Conan could behave like this just for the new antidote she had researched, which inevitably made Ai feel interesting.

However, regarding the antidote, it is impossible not to give it to Conan. Otherwise, given his personality, I don’t know how long he will continue to pester me. However…

"Hmm? You said... you can cooperate with the experiment, right?"

With a slight smile and her arms folded in front of her, Ai couldn't help but ask this question to Conan who volunteered.

"Uh……"

Seeing this, facing Xiao Ai's expression, Conan was stunned, and couldn't help but realize that something was wrong...

……

"What about James Blake? Did he just arrive in Japan, or has he been here a long time ago?"

At the same time, after Xiao Ai and the others had dealt with James's matter, Gao Yuan, who had learned about what was happening on their side, couldn't help but think like this -

After all, according to the original plot, FBI agent James Blake's first appearance was to meet Akai Shuichi, and he had obviously just arrived in Japan, and it was not yet the "Full Moon Arc" at that time.

As a result, the events of the "Full Moon Chapter" planned by Vermouth have ended, and this is the first time that James appears in Conan and the others' knowledge, which is a bit surprising to Gao Yuan -

In short, a deviation occurred, and it seems to be quite large, but in relation to the situation where James was kidnapped due to being mistakenly identified as a wrong person, the incident itself seems to have not changed much.

This situation...

Gao Yuan was a little skeptical as to whether it would still be appropriate to use some reference methods with clear time points when facing some original plots in the future.

Or, has James actually been to Japan for a long time?

But no matter what, it is certain that James' contact with Conan and the others was to test Conan and the others. I just don't know whether Conan and the others' encounter with James this time was a series of events that extended due to coincidence, or whether everything was designed in advance by the FBI.

Just like that, Gao Yuan suddenly received an email from someone who was...

It's Kuroba Kaito!
