Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 64 Thank you very much, Mr. Hentai
A soft marshmallow shot out from the muzzle, hit Conan's glasses accurately, and then bounced into the air.

Haruhiko caught the marshmallow and put it into his mouth.

Well, it tastes pretty good.

Could it be that the designer of this toy pistol had this in mind? To swallow the bullet stained with the enemy's blood, completing a second reckoning with the enemy?

Conan on the opposite side sat on the ground in a daze. Perhaps even his brain, which was smarter than an ordinary person's, could not understand why Haruhiko appeared in this way?

Conan's reaction was within Haruhiko's expectations, but Haibara Ai's reaction on the other hand was a bit interesting.

Haruhiko noticed that when he first came in, Haibara Ai was still sitting quietly on the chair, but her pupils were slightly dilated, but they were well concealed.

But the moment Haruhiko pulled out the gun, Haibara Ai quickly looked around and put down her legs that were originally folded together.

She might have wanted to escape.

However, after seeing Haruhiko eat the "bullet", Haibara Ai raised her legs on the swivel chair again, with an expression on her face that said "Actually, I've seen through everything a long time ago."

It's really kind of cute.

At this time, Conan stood up from the ground. He looked at Haruhiko and Huibara Ai in confusion and said, "Who... are you?"

Due to Haruhiko's sudden joining, the already complicated situation became even more confusing, and Conan was no longer able to analyze the reasons behind this farce.

Maybe this group of people joined together to perform a prank to trick themselves?

But what's the reason? Today isn't a holiday, nor is it his important day, so why is he suddenly doing this?

Before Haruhiko could explain, the lights in the room suddenly came on.

Immediately afterwards, Dr. Agasa walked out of the basement. His clothes were covered with dust and he kept coughing.

"Ahem, eh? Ai is back? And the new...that Conan is here too?" Dr. Agasa quickly changed his words after seeing the stranger Haruhiko.

Conan was not too surprised to see that the doctor was not dead. The moment Haruhiko shot the marshmallow bullet, the horror atmosphere of the whole farce directly changed from a thriller to a comedy thriller.

Conan pointed at Huihara Ai: "Doctor, do you know her?"

The doctor said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, I was the one who gave her the name. The "Gray" in "Graybara" comes from "Goldia Gray"...

Dr. Agasa began to introduce the origin of Haibara Ai's name.

After he finished speaking, Haruhiko suddenly interrupted, "So you really don't consider calling me Kosaka..."

"I wouldn't call you that kind of name." Huiyuan Ai glared at him coldly, "Why did you follow me here? If you do this, I'm going to call the police."

At this time, the doctor's eyes fell on Haruhiko and asked the question in his heart: "By the way, Ai, who is this?"

Haruhiko returned to the entrance, picked up the watermelon and handed it to Dr. Agasa: "I am Haruhiko Kousaka, a friend of Haibara. I am sorry to bother you. This small gift is not a token of respect."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, how can I accept such an expensive gift? But it just so happens that I've been craving watermelon these past few days. It really is what I want."

Huiyuan Ai jumped down from the chair, her hands behind her back, looking like a housekeeper: "Didn't I tell you that your body can't take in too much sugar? I remember you had chocolate this morning, didn't you?"

"But it should be okay to eat just a little, right?" Dr. Agasa said with a smile.

"I really can't do anything about you. I can only eat one piece." Huiyuan sighed and walked towards the kitchen. "Bring the watermelon over and put it on the table. I'll cut it."

Dr. Agasa's face lit up with joy. He picked up the watermelon and said to Haruhiko, "Kousaka-kun, come and eat some too. Let me tell you, summer watermelon is really..."

Haruhiko and the doctor walked towards the kitchen counter together.

Conan stood at the door, staring blankly at the three people who were as close as a family.

Was I just being played a prank?
Is it me?
How come I suddenly became an insignificant person?
"No, please explain yourself clearly to me." Conan also chased after him with his calves.

...

Dr. Agasa's house has a circular bar, where he usually eats and entertains guests.

At this time, everyone was sitting around the bar, with pieces of cut watermelon on the plates in front of them.

Conan picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite. He said dissatisfiedly: "So, you went to the basement to repair the circuit just now?"

Dr. Agasa: "Yeah, I don't know what happened, but the power suddenly went out at home."

Huiyuan Ai interjected, "I controlled the power outage using a computer program."

Dr. Agasa's mouth, which was about to take a bite of the watermelon, froze in mid-air: "Huh? Why?" "Of course I was just playing a joke on this shrunken detective. I thought he could see the flaw." Huibara Ai said regretfully, "And, doctor, the circuits in your house should be checked, right?"

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and said, "Indeed, when I went down, I saw that many of the wires were aging. Luckily you reminded me."

Conan slapped the table: "Now is not the time to talk about this, right? Why did she suddenly appear here?"

"I took the initiative to find the doctor." Huiyuan Ai took a small bite of the watermelon, "The reason I came here was actually to make it easier for me to contact you."

Conan frowned: "Contact me? What is your purpose?"

Ai Huihara licked the watermelon juice from the corner of her mouth with her tongue and said, "Don't you know? The organization has sent investigators to your home twice, because you are the only one on the list of people who took that drug who has not been confirmed dead."

"What? You said that group of people went to my house to investigate?" Conan was shocked and had no interest in watching melons anymore.

Huihara Ai: "Yeah, I didn't find any useful clues the first time, and even I thought you might have died in some corner.

But when I went to your house for the second time, I discovered a strange phenomenon. All your childhood clothes that were in the closet had disappeared.

As a researcher on this drug, I naturally thought of a somewhat absurd possibility.

After Kudo Shinichi was fed aptx-4869, his body turned into that of a child, just like the rats in the previous experiment.

Conan put down the watermelon in his hand: "Then...does it mean that everyone in your organization already knows that I have become smaller?"

If that was the case, then his current situation would become extremely dangerous. Not only that, but the people around him would also be targeted by that group. But since she took the initiative to find him, things shouldn't be that simple.

As expected, Haibara Ai shook her head. "You still have me to thank for that. I've already changed your status on that list to 'death'. But if the organization finds out that this information was modified by a traitor like me, they might start to suspect you again."

"Traitor? Which organization did you betray?" Conan asked in confusion.

"Yes, because they used immature drugs on humans without authorization, but the most important thing is what they did to my sister, which I cannot accept.

So I managed to escape from the organization. Although some mistakes occurred during the escape, I was forced to swallow aptx-4869 to shrink and barely escaped the pursuit of that group of people.

But I managed to escape from the organization and was rescued by a strange guy and brought back home, and finally came to the doctor."

Haruhiko: "I think the phrase 'a bit strange' is unnecessary."

Ai Haibara glared at Haruhiko coldly, then continued, "As for why I came to find you, it's because we are both in a shrunken state now, and observing you will help me develop an antidote that can turn you back into an adult.

Besides, since we're both being hunted by the Black Organization and are both in a smaller state, I think we should be able to understand each other."

Conan couldn't help it after hearing this. He threw the watermelon in his hand onto the plate and said, "What a joke! Who would understand a guy like you who invented a murder drug?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the inner room angrily.

"Shinichi, you actually misunderstood. Haibara..." The doctor chased after her.

Haibara Ai froze in her place, her eyes suddenly darkening. "As expected, there's no way someone like me would be accepted. It's ridiculous that I was actually looking forward to this meeting. It seems it was all just wishful thinking on my part."

Haruhiko seemed to see an option of "feedable" above her head.

He immediately took out the freshly bought Japanese confectionery from the bag he brought with him and handed it to Huiyuan Ai: "Ignore that brat, just let him calm down. It's not your fault for this kind of thing."

Haibara Ai looked at the wagashi in Haruhiko's hand, and her eyes, which had gradually become cold and desperate, showed a slight fluctuation, but she did not reach out to take it.

Haruhiko grabbed her little hand and stuffed the snack into her hand: "I remember you like this flavor, right?"

Haibara Ai's little hands were soft, and because she had just eaten watermelon, there was still a lot of semi-dried watermelon juice left on her hands, which felt sticky and a little warm.

Haibara Ai held the snack in her hands and slowly lowered her head, her brown bangs covering most of her expression. But from an angle that Haruhiko couldn't see, a charming smile blossomed at the corner of her lips.

Haruhiko thought she was still blaming herself for Conan's words, so he ruffled her hair and said, "Don't worry, if he still doesn't accept you, I'll tell Xiaolan about his identity as Kudo Shinichi and see how he explains it then."

Huiyuan Ai raised her head, restored her impeccable queen expression, and said in a cold voice: "Pervert."

"It's usually more appropriate to say 'thank you' at a time like this, right? You guy." Haruhiko was speechless.

Huiyuan Ai thought for a moment, jumped down from the stool, held the gift in front of her, and bowed in a very well-behaved manner to express her gratitude:
"Arigato, Mr. Pervert."

"You..." Haruhiko reached out and deliberately messed up her hair, "You're really not cute at all."
