Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 23 Silver Bullet
After Terusuke informed Shuichi Akai, he lay down at Professor Agasa's house until Conan found him.

Looking at the happy Huisuke in front of him, Conan felt a sense of imbalance in his heart. He had been helping Maori Kogoro solve cases these days, but Huisuke was playing games here. He couldn't help but complain:

"You're such a badass! Ever since I made the bet with you, cases have been happening all the time. But it's a blessing in disguise. Uncle Maori's passbook is almost full with money from clients, so I'm going to get a new one tomorrow."

"But Sister Xiaolan and I agree that he is obsessed with Miss Hirota Masami, so Sister Xiaolan wants you to go with her tomorrow to look after Uncle Maori and have a meal to celebrate."

"Oh?" Huisuke was a little surprised when he heard Conan's words, but it was not because he was concerned about Miyano Akemi's robbery, but because he was amazed at Conan's efficiency.

You know, Kogoro Mouri's passbook had sixty pages, and before Conan came, he had only used no more than twenty pages.

What's more, nearly half of the cases he solved did not require anyone to pay for them, but he was able to save up enough money with this. You can imagine how "diligent" Conan is.

After hearing Xiaolan ask Huijie to go with her, Huijie thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "No, there's a high probability that a case will happen tomorrow, so I won't go. Or if there's no accident, you can call me again!"

After hearing this, Conan immediately shouted, "You guy, if you don't want to go, just say you don't want to go. There are not so many cases!"

"Besides, even if I encounter a murder case, I will solve it quickly!"

"Haha," Huisuke laughed, then said, "Since you, the Grim Reaper, said you were going to the bank, then there's a high probability that there will be a bank robbery, right?"

"Ahem!" Hearing Huisuke's words, Conan coughed and interrupted Huisuke, saying:
"Okay, I'll tell Sister Xiaolan, but you're such a sharp-tongued guy. You're acting like the case only happened because I was there."

……

The next day, Siling Bank.

As expected, the bank encountered an accident.

Watching the robbers go away, Conan leaned on his "solar skateboard" and hammered the ground, saying, "Damn it! They got away after all!"

He then returned to Siling Bank to understand the case and conduct an investigation.

But he didn't notice that not far behind him, a man with dark green eyes, a knitted hat and black clothes was looking at him thoughtfully.

This person was Shuichi Akai. After investigation, Shuichi Akai found out that Miyano Akemi was working in a bank under the pseudonym Hirota Masami.

During the investigation, he discovered that Miyano Akemi was under surveillance, but he did not act rashly. Instead, based on Miyano Akemi's behavior, he tried to protect Miyano Akemi while arresting the cadres of the Black Organization.

But just as he followed, Shuichi Akai discovered that Conan's behavior was different from that of ordinary children, and he couldn't help but pay attention.

After all, he did not forget that in this incident, there was a "stranger" with unknown purpose!
……

At night, at Dr. Agasa's house.

"Please, Terusuke!"

Huisuke looked at Conan who wanted him to check the bank's surveillance footage and said, "So you think Hirota Masami was framed, but she has problems herself, and you want me to help you check the surveillance footage?"

Conan analyzed calmly: "Yes, there is a lip print on the mask left there, but the position is obviously wrong. There must be something wrong here!"

Huisuke nodded after hearing this, and then said: "You are right, and then what?"

"Since someone wants her to take the blame, then Miss Hirota Masami might..." Conan suddenly thought of something, turned around, picked up the skateboard and ran away.

Huisuke looked at the impetuous Conan and thought with some emotion: "No wonder he can become a famous detective. Unlike me, I can only stay at home and lie down to develop."

Dr. Agasa was holding a plate of freshly cut watermelon, looking at Conan's back and asked, "What happened to Shinichi?"

Huisuke picked up the watermelon and said while eating, "I guess he has figured out the case and went to find Hirota Masami who was supposed to take the blame."

……

After leaving Dr. Agasa's house, Conan asked for Hirota Masami's address in the name of Mouri Kogoro.

Conan banged on the door and shouted, "Ms. Yamei!"

Conan's mood gradually became depressed as there was no response. He fumbled around and found the key to the door under the flowerpot.

After entering, Conan saw the tidy room and sighed. Suddenly, he found a socket hidden behind the cabinet, from which Conan found a key to a rental safe deposit box.

Conan guessed that this might be the storage location of the 10 billion yen.

At this moment, a knife-handed attack came from behind Conan. Conan, who fell to the ground, blurred his vision and saw only a strange man in black clothes, and Hirota Masami was standing behind him.

Then, before Conan could speak, he fell into a coma.

Miyano Akemi looked at Conan in surprise and said, "Conan?"

Then he introduced Akai Shuichi beside him: "This is the foster child of the famous detective Maori Kogoro. However, I have only met this child twice. Could it be that Detective Maori has already discovered him?"

"No!" Akai Shuichi denied Miyano Akemi's guess and said:
"After we robbed the bank today, this kid has been following you. Compared to Maori Kogoro, I believe that he discovered something on his own and came here to investigate."

"Well," it was obvious that Miyano Akemi believed in Akai Shuichi's judgment more, and then asked: "Then what should we do? That organization..."

Akai Shuichi interrupted Miyano Akemi and said, "They won't let your sister go. Shirley is a high-end scientist in that organization, and they would never let a traitor go."

"I'll go with you tomorrow!" Then Akai Shuichi looked at Conan and said, "As for him, let him rest here for one night!"

"Once the dust settles tomorrow, I'll take you to the United States for the witness protection program."

"What about you?" Miyano Akemi looked at Akai Shuichi and asked, "Will you go to America with me? Or will you stay and continue to investigate that organization?"

Looking at Miyano Akemi, Akai Shuichi fell silent, which also let Miyano Akemi know his answer, so Miyano Akemi said:

"I won't go. You're here, and my sister is here too. I can't let you go to a completely unfamiliar country and live a peaceful life while you continue to fight against that organization here!"

"Okay!" Looking at the stubborn Miyano Akemi, Akai Shuichi sighed, agreed with Miyano Akemi's statement, and then said:

"But I'm afraid you'll have to change your identity, cut off all your previous social interactions, and start from scratch."

Looking at Akai Shuichi in front of her, Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "It's not starting from zero. You are still by my side this time, aren't you?"
