Stay away from Conan.

"Hey, Shinichi, you...can't you..."

As Conan left Hattori Heiji's ward, Dr. Agasa followed closely and came to a secret place. Dr. Agasa caught up with Conan and seemed very concerned and nervous about what Conan had just said and asked.

In this way, Conan naturally knew what Professor Agasa was asking, so he nodded seriously and responded:
"Well, now that things have come to this, since the police have known that Hattori Heiji had appeared with Kudo Shinichi today because of some previous events, then now that Hattori Heiji has an accident, there is no reason for Kudo Shinichi not to come out...

"and……"

Conan said this with a sense of fate, turned his head and looked into the distance, sighing:
"I probably already have some ideas about this incident. And to use this idea, I have to change back!"

Seeing that Conan had made up his mind, Dr. Agasa knew that he couldn't persuade Conan. And Conan was right. In Kyoto, with Hattori Heiji's accident, if Conan didn't do anything, Ai and Kazuha who were kidnapped...

Can't delay too long...

Therefore, Dr. Agasa could only say to Conan who made such a decision:

"Okay...what can I do for you?"

……

"Kurama Mountain..."

At the same time, when Conan and others arrived at the hospital and had their own ideas about the topic of Kudo Shinichi, Gao Yuan, who acted alone, had successfully found the location of Ai reflected on the "stars" through the connection between the two props of "stars" and "lover". After comparing it with the map, Gao Yuan basically knew the approximate location of Ai.

As a result, Gao Yuan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, and he began to further analyze the incident of Xiao Ai being captured.

After all, Gao Yuan already knew about this incident when Dr. Agasa explained to him that those who kidnapped Ai were not actually targeting her, but Toyama Kazuha, but Ai was accidentally involved.

So, from this point of view, Kyoto, the mysterious man, the target Kazuha, Mount Kurama...

Although the places Gao Yuan could see about Kurama Mountain on the electronic map were tourist attractions such as Kurama Temple, Kinone Road, and Kifune Shrine, but for Gao Yuan who knew the plot of the original work, these key points of this incident combined always seemed to be somewhat related to an event in the original work that he knew.

Therefore, Gao Yuan felt that if what he thought was correct, then based on the location of Xiao Ai that he could lock on now, it seemed that it was probably in the deep mountains of Mount Kurama. Gao Yuan was basically certain that the place where Xiao Ai and the others were kidnapped should be an abandoned temple called "Yulong Temple".

So, in this case...

"'Crossroads in the Labyrinth'? The incident about Hattori Heiji's 'first love'? However, if this is really what I imagined, Ai was kidnapped... I feel like the development of this situation is different from the original work..."

Gao Yuan analyzed this and found some differences -

After all, according to the original work, the Metropolitan Police Department should first hold a press conference about the murder case of the "Genji Hotaru" thieves gang before a series of subsequent events will occur. However, there is no press conference from the Metropolitan Police Department in the news now, but the situation in Kyoto has already occurred.

This situation seemed to have gone wrong even though he had not participated in it. Gao Yuan felt helpless for some reason.

I am afraid that because I have repeatedly changed the development of the original plot, such deviations will become more and more frequent in the future...

However, now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do. I can't just not face it just because things will go wrong in the future, right?
Therefore, Gao Yuan, thinking this way, did not choose to go to Ma'anshan immediately to rescue Xiao Ai and the others. He decided to find a way to confirm the specific situation of the whole incident first...

So, thinking this, Gao Yuan did not choose to meet up with Conan and the others, but continued to head towards Ma'anshan. At the same time, he tried to connect to Conan's device through the software on his mobile phone to listen to what Conan was doing so that he could judge what information he could get at the moment. As a result, as Gao Yuan put on the headphones and successfully connected to Conan's device, he was ready to listen to what was going on there, but what Gao Yuan heard was Conan's screaming and painful cry, which made Gao Yuan's ears tremble. He quickly took off the headphones and felt a headache.

Just like the noise just now, that was Conan's heart-wrenching cry...

"This kind of movement..."

It was quite unexpected. He had just wanted to eavesdrop on Conan's movements, but what he heard was this situation. Gao Yuan was stunned, but then he immediately thought of what was going on -

"Did Conan take the antidote?"

So, realizing this, Gao Yuan recalled what Dr. Agasa had told him.

Ai and Kazuha were captured by a mysterious person, and Hattori Heiji was in a coma after a car accident...

So, at this time, in order to deal with the current situation, did Conan choose to change back?
In this regard, Gao Yuan was not surprised at all. After all, it was a bit beyond expectation that Conan waited until now to use the antidote for the first time after getting the antidote.

So, Gao Yuan temporarily noted down the current time point as data that Ai might need, and then continued to head towards Mount Kurama according to his original plan, and tried to pay attention to the situation on Conan's side, or Kudo Shinichi's side.

……

"Humph... You failed, but I succeeded. As you said, if you want to successfully get the white hair back, you don't have to rely solely on force... However, if you succeed in getting the white hair back this time, I will get a bigger share after selling the Buddha statue!"

In an old Japanese-style wooden house, Sakura Masazao met Nishijo Taiga and said this to him in a somewhat arrogant manner.

In response to Sakura Masao's somewhat unreasonable request, Nishijo Taikawa had a calm expression and nodded slightly, as if he agreed with his meaning.

Seeing this, Sakura Shozo laughed heartily and said:

"Okay... you're smart. Now, I'll leave the hostage to you. As for how to use the hostage to get Baihao back, it's up to you... How do you think? Just notify him to exchange the hostages!"

"There's no rush for this."

Hearing this, Xijo Taiga shook his head and said:

"They kidnapped someone in broad daylight. If we directly notify them to exchange hostages now, it will easily attract the police and our efforts will be in vain. Therefore, we need to think carefully..."

"What are your plans?"

Sakura Shozo said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Tonight... let's go to the teahouse in Miyagawa Town to relax, and by the way... ask for some information, and then it won't be too late to make plans. Anyway, the hostages can't escape from me!"

Saijo Taiga proudly suggested... (End of this chapter)
