Stay away from Conan.

"Hmm? Why would Haibara have developed this kind of drug?"

Once Shinichi Kudo had fully ingested the new antidote and was trying to sense when its effects would take hold, and his emotions and thoughts had completely calmed down, he gradually realized something—

Why would Ai Haibara develop an antidote that quickly renders the antidote for "APTX4869" ineffective for no apparent reason?

Logically speaking, there should be no reason to manufacture this kind of drug unless there are special circumstances.
After all, even now, the antidote for "APTX4869" cannot be considered complete. It's just that as Ai's research progresses, the duration of the antidote has increased. But in reality, it can hardly be considered an antidote that can completely eliminate the effects of "APTX4869".

In this situation, as the duration of the temporary antidote's effect increases, why would Ai Haibara specifically develop an antidote that accelerates the drug's failure, unless there is a special reason?

Although she had taken the antidote several times before and maintained her appearance as Shinichi Kudo, she had become a little carried away and almost exposed her identity, but did Ai really need to specially develop an antidote to deal with this?

Or is it not because of myself, but for some other reason—

A temporary antidote is needed to restore the body to its original state, but the restoration cannot be reversed by the drug wearing off. Instead, a specific drug is required to control when the body reverts to its original state. This is why such a drug is so necessary...

So, if we think about it this way, isn't it possible that Ai and the others...?

Thinking of this, Shinichi Kudo frowned slightly, seemingly realizing that it was highly likely that Takato and Ai had already done many significant things against the organization without his knowledge—

After all, the only person who needs that antidote, besides myself, is Ai.

Having kept this matter in mind, Shinichi Kudo suddenly felt his body react, as if the antidote he had taken was about to take effect...

……

"Given the current situation, with the FBI's capabilities, it shouldn't be difficult to control when the organization learns that Rena Mizunashi is here, right? Therefore, you have enough time to prepare for the next operation."

"Given the precedent of Rena Mizunashi being trusted by the organization, she must know exactly what she needs to do to regain that trust upon returning. Therefore, in the initial stages, finding a way to get Rena Mizunashi back into the organization shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Inside Beika Central Hospital, when Takato and Shuichi Akai went to a room alone to discuss some details of the follow-up plan, Takato simply glossed over some arrangements, as if these were just unimportant points. The main point was still "getting Rena Mizunashi back to the organization."

Gao Yuan was well aware that this was a crucial step in the original work. At least in this way, there would be an insider within the organization who could transmit information back in a timely manner. This was also the key to Conan and the FBI being able to learn that "Bourbon" and "Rum" had begun to take action.

Of course, for Gao Yuan himself, such a cryptic message was not important. It was just a precaution, since Gao Yuan now knew that his actions could lead the development of events astray. Therefore, it was safer to place an informant within the organization.

Therefore, based on this point, Takato naturally hopes that the handling of the matter by Rena Mizunashi will follow the development of the original work, and at this point in time, it is also a matter of going with the flow.

Of course, to stay true to the original story and ensure the smooth progress of this operation, it's best not to have too many people aware of the true purpose. Otherwise, if the information leaks, everything will be for naught. Shuichi Akai didn't question Takato's brief explanation much. After all, when it comes to actually carrying out the plan, it ultimately depends on their own side—the FBI. Asking outsiders for instructions on every step would only make the FBI seem incompetent.

However, despite this, Shuichi Akai knew that Takato hadn't finished speaking, and his tone clearly implied that "this matter won't be over until Rena Mizunashi returns to the organization."

So, Shuichi Akai casually asked:
"Then?"

"Of course, it shouldn't be too difficult for Rena Mizunashi to return to the organization, but what's truly difficult is something you can't imagine."

At this moment, Gao Yuan turned the tables and asked Akai Shuichi a question in return:
"Rena Mizunashi has been in your hands for so long. Even if your plan goes smoothly and the organization can't find any flaws, given the suspicious nature of everyone in the organization, would they really trust Rena Mizunashi who has been 'rescued'? You should know that the first time Rena Mizunashi was trusted by the organization was at the cost of the lives of two intelligence agents."

That concludes Takato's remarks; he believes Shuichi Akai understands what he's saying.

For the organization to trust Mizunashi Rena, a corresponding price had to be paid. The reason the organization trusted Mizunashi Rena at that time, besides the "ruthlessness" she displayed, was the two CIA agents who were truly sacrificed, which were the real and irrefutable "evidence".

Therefore, Shuichi Akai understood what Takato meant.

After a long silence with his head down, Shuichi Akai did not continue the topic. He clearly knew that if things really came to that point, what would a detective amount to? In the end, it would still have to be the FBI to accomplish this.

only……

"So... Detective Akechi, what is your purpose?"

Having said all that, ultimately only the FBI could carry out this plan and help Rena Mizunashi return to the organization. Therefore, upon meeting Rena Mizunashi, they revealed her identity and explicitly identified the mastermind behind all of this—

Wise and far-sighted.

What is this guy's purpose in doing this?
This statement suggests that Shuichi Akai is questioning Takato's motives.

In response, Gao Yuan gave a non-sequitur, chuckled, and said:

"One of my intelligence sources wants me to ask the FBI a question. From what I understand, the FBI once sent an agent undercover into the organization, and because of his outstanding performance, he earned the codename 'Rye Whiskey' within the organization. But later, his identity was exposed, and he fled back to the United States…"

"This person used the name Moroboshi Dai at the time, but he was clearly a masked man. Therefore, the person who gave me the information wanted me to ask who this agent's real name was." (End of Chapter)
