Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 63 The detective game ends here

Haruhiko Kousaka walked out of Beika Hospital through the revolving glass door and found that the sun was about to set.

There were still not many patients seeing the doctor at this time. The nurse at the front desk covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, the cleaning lady started to clean the floor, and everyone looked like they were getting ready to go off work.

Haruhiko recalled the misunderstanding that just happened in the ward and still felt a little scared.

Although in the end Sato Miwako successfully called her mother back and explained what had happened.

However, Haruhiko felt that Mrs. Sato looked at him in a strange way, and her face always had an expression that said, "I'm leaving my useless daughter to you."

This made Sato Miwako very unhappy, and she pinched Haruhiko's thigh several times in secret.

However, Miwako may not know that her little actions were completely seen by her mother, and each time it made the smile on Mrs. Sato's face even more kind.

Finally, Sato Miwako couldn't stand it anymore, so she forced Haruhiko back on the grounds that he had to go home to study.

Haruhiko noticed that when Sato's mother heard that he was a high school student, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

Maybe they were worried about the age difference between them? But this is also good, at least the misunderstanding can be cleared up.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang. It was a text message.

Haruhiko took out his cell phone and saw that the sender was Sato Miwako.

Was she blaming herself for not explaining things clearly? Or was she complaining to him about her mother's nagging?
Haruhiko opened the text message with doubt, but it turned out to be a very restrained message:
"Thank you for the gift, Kousaka-kun. After I'm discharged from the hospital, shall we have a meal together to celebrate?"

The corners of Haruhiko's mouth twitched. This didn't look like something Sato Miwako would say. Perhaps she was forced to post it by her mother?
He hesitated for a moment, turned off the message and pretended not to see it.

Because I don't know Sato Miwako's attitude, if I agree rashly, it may put her in an awkward position, so I'd better wait for the real Sato Miwako to contact me first.

After leaving the hospital, Haruhiko walked towards the nearby station.

In addition to visiting Miwako Sato today, he also plans to go to Dr. Agasa's house in the evening to see how the kitten he is fostering is doing.

By now, Haibara Ai should have already joined the Detective Boys, right? I wonder how her relationship with Conan is going?
After all, it was the first time to visit someone, so he had to prepare some gifts. Haruhiko planned to go shopping in the commercial street first and buy some food for Haibara Ai. He had already figured out what Haibara Ai liked to eat in the past few days.

Sitting on the subway, Haruhiko grabbed the handrail and swayed back and forth with the flow of people. The sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails reached his ears, which was a bit hypnotic.

In fact, Haruhiko has been hesitating these days about whether or not to confront Conan.

The advantage of a showdown is that you can get the halo of the protagonists.

Just because Conan was able to survive Gin's shooting, he turned the pure nightmare into Gin's nightmare.

This fully demonstrates that the Shinigami Elementary School Student's badness is not only about being able to encounter cases, but he may also have special skills that can save his life with a little blood when fighting against the Black Organization.

Hattori Heiji and the others who also knew Conan's identity, never died whenever they encountered danger. Perhaps it was because of this halo.

Moreover, the theft incident a few days ago showed that someone might have been targeting Haruhiko. Although he didn't know who the other party was, Haruhiko felt that the winery would come after him sooner or later.

Another advantage of Conan is that he has a very good relationship with Vermouth. It is not an exaggeration to even call Vermouth Conan's godmother. She can help Haruhiko conceal his identity to a certain extent.

This is also very important to Haruhiko now.

He has now gotten into trouble with the winery for saving Suzuki Sonoko. Although they may think he is a small fry for the time being or have no time to pay attention to him due to pressure, they can't necessarily avoid him forever.

Maybe one day they will come and ask Haruhiko to join the organization or die.

Haruhiko's current plan is to improve his strength as much as possible before the organization finds him, and delay as much as possible.

When his cheat can cut down the Tokyo Tower with a sword, he will not be afraid of anyone.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko analyzed the relationship between him and the main members of the winery.

Gin: Terrible (extremely dangerous)

Vodka: Seen it (a bit silly, but more threatening than expected)
Bourbon: Wage Thief (Non-threatening)
Vermouth: Conan's godmother (not much of a threat if she sticks with Conan)

Shirley: My own cat (cute)
Chianti: Crazy girl (nice tattoo)

Cohen: Sniper Tool (Threatened)
Pisk: Old man (threatening)
Tequila: I don’t know if he was killed or not (if he wasn’t dead, he’s still a threat)
Calvados: Licking dog (When he has the favor of Vermouth, the threat is reduced)
……

……

The rest are undercover agents or peripheral members and are not in any danger for the time being.

Judging from this probability, Haruhiko's chance of winning the jackpot is actually not that high.

What's more, he will inevitably have more contact with Haibara Ai in the future, and Conan has such a strong observation ability that it is very likely that he will easily find some clues over time. It is better to form a united front right from the start.

Just as I was thinking about it, the announcement of the subway arrival sounded.

Haruhiko followed the crowd out of the subway station.

At the same time, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Haruhiko pressed the answer button.

"It's over, my mother completely misunderstood." It was the voice of Sato Miwako. Her voice sounded a little tired, probably because she had been tortured just now.

Haruhiko was surprised and asked, "Could it be that my status as a high school student didn't make your mother give up?"

"No, she was actually more satisfied," said Sato Miwako. "She also taught me how to show my feminine charm in front of younger people."

Haruhiko: "..."

Haruhiko wanted to ask, "Have you learned it yet?" But he was afraid she'd give him a German throw the next time they met.

Suddenly, she wondered how her mother had such a skill. However, she couldn't ask that question, so Haruhiko changed the subject: "What about dinner?"

"Wait until I'm discharged from the hospital, and then consider it a celebration of my suspension." Sato Miwako sighed, "But I'll need your help in fooling my mom."

"Pretend to be your boyfriend?"

"It's not that serious. We're just ordinary friends. After a while, I'll tell my mom that our personalities are not compatible." Miwako seemed very experienced.

Haruhiko: “I see.”

"You seem a little regretful?" Miwako raised her voice.

Haruhiko was about to answer no when he suddenly remembered being strangled in the ward, so he tentatively asked, "Should I say yes now?"

"Judge for yourself~" Miwako's soft voice reminded Haruhiko of a young lady from Kabukicho, not at all like a female detective who could carry a gun.

Haruhiko: “I’m deeply sorry about this.”

Miwako was laughing on the phone, and she seemed to be slapping her thighs non-stop.

...

After hanging up the phone, Haruhiko walked along the commercial street.

Judging from what Sato Miwako said, she seemed to encounter this situation frequently and did not show any disgust.

Then he wouldn't have to worry anymore. Besides, it was just a meal. Just think of it as doing her a favor. Next time, if he needed to tie her up again, he would feel more at ease when doing it himself.

Putting aside Sato's affairs, Haruhiko once again focused his attention on choosing a gift.

What should I buy? After all, I was visiting without any prior knowledge, but Haruhiko didn't really know much about the local customs, and the original owner was also an autistic teenager who wasn't good at socializing.

However, fruits seem to be very expensive here. I heard that people here consider eating watermelon a luxury. In that case, it’s always a good idea to buy expensive ones.

At this time, I happened to pass by a store selling watermelons. There was a long table in front of the door, with more than a dozen large watermelons on it, all with conspicuous labels.

The female clerk in work clothes was working hard to attract customers, and many customers were already gathered there to choose items.

As soon as Haruhiko stopped walking, the sharp-eyed saleswoman came up to him with a professional fake smile: "Sir, there's a discount on watermelons today, and you can also enter a lottery."

As she spoke, she pointed to another smaller display stand, where various gifts were displayed, including watermelon coupons, boxed beef, toilet paper, children's toys, and so on...

It seemed to be designed to cater to all kinds of people. Haruhiko noticed that at the top of the booth, there was a plane ticket to Hawaii.

The clerk explained at the right moment, "That's the grand prize. It's a trip to Hawaii, with hotel, food, and all expenses included."

Haruhiko wondered how many watermelons would he need to sell to break even? It was probably a marketing ploy to attract customers. But if he could get Ran Mouri to come along, maybe he could actually win.

After all, the title of Koi Girl is not earned for nothing.

In the end, Haruhiko chose two watermelons and had two chances to draw a lottery.

The clerk brought over a lottery box and Haruhiko randomly drew two cards.

The clerk tore open a piece of paper and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you won a watermelon coupon that can be used to deduct 10% of the purchase price."

Haruhiko's eyes lit up: "Can it be used to offset this purchase?"

"Sorry, no, the coupon is valid until next week's event."

Well, that’s about the same as not winning the prize.

The clerk tore open another lottery ticket, this time with an even brighter smile: "Congratulations, you won a Gundam robot."

The clerk handed him a green robot toy.

Haruhiko looked at the toy in his hand and thought that it was useless for him to have it, so why not give it to Conan?

But when I thought about the fact that I was going there to form an alliance with that guy, giving him this was a bit humiliating.

"Can you change it to another gift? I don't have any children at home." Haruhiko asked politely.

The saleswoman said, "You can exchange it for a 20% discount watermelon coupon."

"Other than that?"

"You can exchange it for two 2% off watermelon coupons."

Haruhiko was suddenly speechless.

At this time, a child's crying sound came from beside him. Haruhiko looked in the direction of the sound and found a little boy holding his mother's hand. He was holding a 10% discount coupon of the same model as Haruhiko's, and his eyes kept glancing at the robot in Haruhiko's hand.

Haruhiko walked up to the little boy and asked, "Do you like this?"

The little boy's eyes were shining with excitement, and it was obvious that he liked this robot toy very much.

Haruhiko handed the robot over and said, "This is for you. I don't have any children at home, so I can't use it."

The little boy looked as if he was dizzy with happiness, but he didn't reach out to take it.

"What's wrong?" Haruhiko asked.

"Mom said I can't just accept gifts from others." The little boy tried hard not to look at the robot in Haruhiko's hand, as if this could help him resist the temptation.

Haruhiko hadn't expected the child to be so sensible, so he thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I have to go visit someone important, and it's inconvenient for me to carry this. Can you help me get rid of it?" The little boy hesitated, then looked up at his mother. After receiving his mother's approval, he took the robot from Haruhiko and said sweetly, "Thank you, big brother."

Haruhiko patted his head and turned away.

"Big brother, wait a minute." The little boy took out a small pistol from his pocket. "Here, this is for you. It's a pistol that shoots candy bullets."

Haruhiko took it and held it in his hand. It was not as big as a normal pistol, but it basically restored the appearance of a pistol. It was pure black, but the handle was made into a can shape, a bit like a replica of a bubble gun.

The little boy was afraid that Haruhiko would not want it, so he said, "You can put this in your pocket. It won't affect you."

"Thank you. I'll accept it." Haruhiko put the child's gift into his pocket with a smile and left with the mother's thanks.

...

Miwa Town, 2-chome.

Two small figures walked one in front and one behind on the street at night.

Conan held his hands behind his head, followed by a little girl with short brown hair who was crying.

"Stop crying. Is your home nearby?" Conan asked.

But the other party did not answer and continued to sob.

Girls are such trouble. I really don’t know how she dared to shoot just now?

Conan had just solved a troublesome case and was in a good mood, or rather, he had been in a good mood these days, because Kousaka Haruhiko had not bothered him for the past few days, giving Conan the opportunity to face the case alone.

All of a sudden he became the omnipotent detective again and helped Kogoro Mouri improve his reputation.

He had just led the Junior Detective Team to capture a counterfeit money criminal gang. It was a pity that he thought he could find information about the black organization, but unexpectedly he just wore the same clothes as them.

However, Conan felt that he had no choice but to continue the investigation on his own, and he would find the group of men in black sooner or later.

"Woooooooo..."

The crying sound behind him continued, and Conan felt a little annoyed. Why did he have to send a crying little girl home by himself?

Conan looked around and saw high-end villas everywhere, but he didn't seem to remember any family with the surname Haibara.

Forget it, let her find it herself. Conan turned around and said to her: "Your house should be around here, right? Then I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, Conan prepared to leave. He didn't have time to play with this kid.

"APTX-4869."

Conan turned around and looked at her in confusion: "What?"

"That's the name of the medicine you were forced to drink." Haibara Ai was no longer crying, and her voice was filled with the calmness of an adult.

Conan thought to himself what a strange guy, but he said, "What are you talking about? I've never eaten anything like that."

"I won't remember the name of that medicine wrongly." Huiyuan Ai raised her head, "Because that's the medicine the organization asked me to develop."

"Organization? How can you, a little kid, make medicine? You'd better go home quickly." Conan advised.

Shirley: "Like you, I took that drug, and because of the sudden effect of the cell self-destruction program, all cells except nerve tissue, bones, muscles, internal organs, hair, etc., have returned to the state of a child.

It really is a fascinating poison.”

"Hai... Haibara? Could you be..." Conan widened his eyes.

"My name isn't Huiyuan." She lifted the hair by her ear with her hand, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Shirley. This is my code name."

At this time, a gust of wind blew, carrying a few dead leaves past the feet of the two people.

The temperature around me seemed to drop several degrees suddenly.

Conan looked at the girl in front of him and had a bold guess in his mind, but because the guess was too absurd, he could not convince himself to accept the worst possibility.

Ai Huihara lifted the small red backpack on her back and pressed on, "How about it, are you surprised? Kudo Shinichi."

Conan: "You know my name? ...You are an accomplice of those men in black!"

Conan was sweating profusely. He kept telling himself to calm down, calm down. He must not lose his composure at this time.

The other party did not kill him directly, but met him in this way. There must be a purpose.

But Huiyuan Ai didn't seem to be going to let him go, and dropped another bombshell: "There's no time to surprise you now, confused detective."

"What do you mean?" Conan looked at the other person coldly.

Shirley: "Have you forgotten? I told you my house is at 22 Beika-cho, right next to yours. You should know whose house that is, right?"

Only then did Conan realize that the house next door to his own was Professor Agasa's house.

Could it be? !
He immediately took out his earring phone and called the doctor's home.

There was a beeping sound from the phone, but no one answered. Conan had a bad feeling in his heart: "Damn it, answer the phone quickly, Doctor!"

"It's no use." Huiyuan Ai said in that standard villain tone again, "He can't answer the phone because he is no longer in this world."

"You...Haibara!" Conan hung up the phone. He was already stunned by Haibara Ai's series of combined punches and had lost his composure.

He looked at the terrifying, snake-like woman standing under the street light with her hands behind her back. She looked like an elementary school student carrying a small red schoolbag, but her aura gave people the oppressive feeling of a queen.

"What did you do? What did you do to the doctor?" Conan asked angrily.

"The doctor must be very important to you, right?" Huiyuan Ai said, "The equipment you are wearing was made by Dr. Agasa, right? It's because of this that you can continue to be a detective. If you lose the doctor, you will just be a smart elementary school student."

Conan said in disbelief: "Just because of this? You killed the doctor?"

"This is the style of the organization. Do you only realize it now?" Haibara Ai spread her hands, as if she was talking about something very normal.

Conan squatted down and put his hands on his foot-strengthening shoes.

Huiyuan Ai gave him a look of contempt and said, "Are you going to do it? But I advise you to go to the doctor's house now. If you go too late, you may not even be able to see the body."

Conan glared at Haibara Ai fiercely, hesitated for a moment, stood up, and ran towards the doctor's house.

Ai Haibara followed with her hands behind her back and light steps.

Conan ran to the doctor's house as fast as he could, and from a distance he saw that the lights were not on in the doctor's house.

Conan rushed into the house and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor, where are you?!"

His voice echoed in the empty room, but no one responded.

Damn, did this guy really kill the doctor?
Conan ran for a long time, and the power of Huiyuan's combination punches gradually disappeared. He regained his normal rationality and began to wonder why the other party didn't get rid of him himself? Instead, why did he attack the doctor?
Logically speaking, those men in black had such power. Could it be that they couldn't do it outside? Did they lure me to the doctor's house to silence me?
Then isn't he in great danger now?

Conan suddenly discovered that there was a cold chill coming from the dark corner of the room, as if a black gun muzzle would emerge in the next second and end his fragile life.

No, we have to escape quickly, or at least run outside so that they can't do anything to us.

Conan turned around and wanted to leave the doctor's house.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Haibara Ai standing at the door with an expressionless face.

"What? Are you going to escape?" Huiyuan Ai said sarcastically, "It seems that you are not a hero after all?"

Conan: "What do you want to do?"

Huiyuan Ai did not block the door, but walked to the chair at the round bar in the doctor's house and sat down. She crossed her legs and posed in a queen-like posture: "I want to play a game with you."

Conan said coldly: "I don't have time to play with you, and I noticed that you seem to be alone, right?"

"Do you want to attack me?" Haibara Ai asked in surprise.

"Is it not possible?" Conan squatted down and touched the switch of his shoes.

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately, as soon as I send a signal, the man who poisoned you will appear here and kill you again." Huiyuan Ai said, "He misses you very much."

Conan's heart sank. Could it be that Gin was here too? If that scary man was nearby, he would be in great danger today.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong——

They both looked towards the door at the same time.

Conan thought it was Gin, and he was ready to die together, but he saw an unexpected person standing at the door, holding two watermelons in his arms?

"Kousaka... Big Brother, why are you here?" Conan shouted, but in his heart he was wondering why this guy came. Doesn't he think this place is chaotic enough?
Haruhiko looked at the tense atmosphere in the room and suddenly realized that things seemed to have just reached the most interesting part. It was really better to arrive early than not. He smiled and said, "Conan is here too? That's great."

"Brother Kousaka, can you help me find Uncle Mori?" Conan wanted to send him away.

Haruhiko asked in confusion, "What do you want to see Uncle Kogoro for?"

Conan said hurriedly: "It's Dr. Agasa. He received an anonymous letter with scissors, apples and maple trees written on it. He wants Uncle Maori to help solve the puzzle."

Haruhiko knew it contained a message for help, but he ignored it: "No need, I've already solved it. You want to call the police?"

"What? You..." Conan widened his eyes, and the expression on his face was so wonderful that it was beyond words to describe.

Haruhiko placed two packaged watermelons on the floor at the entrance and walked into the room.

"It's unnecessary. Even if the police come, it will be useless." Haruhiko put his hands into his arms.

Conan's brain was about to shut down: "You...what do you mean by that?"

"Eh? Shirley, haven't you told him the truth yet?" Haruhiko pulled out a black pistol. "What a poor fellow."

Conan kept backing away, his body falling to the ground, his voice trembling, "Could it be that you are also..."

"Yes, you guessed right, but unfortunately..." Haruhiko pointed the gun at Conan.

At this moment, wind suddenly blew in from the door.

The temperature in the house seemed to have dropped to freezing point, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

A muffled thunder sounded in the sky outside the villa, followed by fine raindrops falling, hitting the glass windows and playing a beautiful melody.

"The detective game is over."

Haruhiko gently pulled the trigger.
