Chapter 690 Close at hand
Driven by curiosity, he asked the two how they cheered each other on.

Then I saw two little girls stacked on top of each other, putting on a set of clothes that Frank had left in the car.

The two children, whose combined height was nearly 1.6 meters, were wearing black coats, masks, and sunglasses, making it difficult to tell that they were two children pretending to be a human pyramid.

After finding Ai Haibara and Anya, he should have started his journey home. However, Anya was too cute and begged him, and since he had promised to grant her a request when he asked her questions earlier, he had no choice but to agree to bring the two of them to Kyoto.

He now seriously suspects that he has been tricked, that he fell into the trap set by two children from the very beginning.

wrong!

Shinichi shook his head vigorously, banishing the embarrassing thought from his mind. He couldn't possibly be that stupid; he simply found Anya and Ai Haibara cute.

He has also informed Mr. Frank that the two children are fine, but it's too late to go home, so they will have to stay overnight in a hotel in another city.

As long as we don't run into Mr. Natsukawa in Kyoto, we can keep all of this a secret!
Moreover, with his newfound wisdom and intelligence, he was certain that the two little girls would be safe. He swore on all the skills he had learned from Frank these past few days!
"Huh, has a case been solved here?"

On the banks of the Kamo River, Tomoaki Araide stopped the car.

I originally planned to come here to enjoy the cherry blossom season along the Kamo River, but it seems that something terrible has happened here. The red lanterns are flashing under the high-hanging full moon, which is a bit of a downer.

"So beautiful!"

Anya didn't notice what was happening on the riverbank. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, after a long day, the sight of the beautiful Kamo River actually brought tears to her eyes.

That wretched father, that wretched Aunt Joel! Such a beautiful view and they didn't even bring Anya along! Luckily Anya is quite capable!

"Did you arrive just in time for the cherry blossom season at the Kamo River?"

Ai Haibara was a little better off, but she was still leaning against the window.

Two little girls shared a car window, their big heads squeezed together, looking particularly funny and attracting frequent glances and kind smiles from passersby.

"Hey, Haibara, do you know her?"

"Of course, I've wanted to come and see this for many years, but back then..."

Ai Haibara reached out towards the moon, as if she wanted to touch it.

Suddenly, a few cherry blossom petals drifted down in the wind and landed right on her hand.

Ai Haibara remained silent, swatting away Anya's outstretched hand and carefully putting it into her pocket: "Take these cherry blossoms back as a souvenir, to prove that I was in Kyoto."

"You're still so young, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Shinichiro said with a chuckle.

Seeing that the two little girls seemed to really enjoy the tourist attractions they had found, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

"We'll just stay for a bit and then leave. We'll go to the hotel later and visit Mr. Mori at Sannoji Temple tomorrow, shall we?"

"Just do as you say."

Shinichi raised an eyebrow. Even though they had met several times, he was still not quite used to Ai Haibara's grown-up appearance.

He's only five years old, so how can he say something like he wanted to come here years ago?

And then there's the phrase "do as you say," which sounds like ordering someone around.
Although he was Xia Chuan's subordinate, Xia Chuan's two daughters were his young masters.

But times have changed, and something still feels off.

"Yes, young masters."

Shinichiro smiled and made a joke.

"Wait a moment."

Ai Haibara glanced at the passenger seat, then suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke up, before reaching out to take a device from the passenger seat.

This thing is the culprit behind Araide Tomoaki's ability to find them.

This culprit now has a chance to redeem himself!
"Perhaps we don't have to wait until tomorrow; we can find out where Conan is today, saving us the trouble of asking someone tomorrow."

"Haibara, what's your brilliant idea? Tell me quickly." Anya was naturally delighted and stared at Haibara Ai with an inquiring gaze.

"The detective badge is also equipped with a positioning device. As long as there is a signal source from the Conan detective badge, it can be input into the positioning device to locate his position."

"What do you mean? Anya doesn't understand?"

(O_O)?
"It's like the detective badge you're wearing. Its model and type are on the same frequency as Conan's detective badge. Once you extract it and import it into the device, you can locate the source of the signal."

Anya still didn't understand, shaking her head wildly and swinging her hair from side to side, slapping Ai Haibara in the face repeatedly.

Ai Haibara grabbed Anya's chubby cheek with one hand and said seriously, "It's very simple. As long as you study hard, you will understand it soon. Once you have these skills, you can solve many strange cases like Uncle Natsukawa, or at the very least, be about the same as Conan."

"Is it that great?"

Although Anya enjoys causing trouble for Conan, she has to admit that Conan is indeed very smart.

"of course."

Ai Haibara removed the detective badge from Anya's chest, then skillfully pried it open and pulled out an electronic component.

Immediately afterwards, the back cover of the locator was removed, and Anya was stunned by the intricate wiring and electronic boards inside.

Ai Haibara searched diligently and soon found the electronic component used for signal storage.

Disassembly, reassembly, and cover replacement were extremely smooth.

"Hey, Ai Haibara, are you really only five years old?"

Shinichiro initially thought Ai Haibara was just trying to show off, but he never expected that she would actually do it.

Having been trained by Frank, he had begun to understand some things, and Ai Haibara's accurate and targeted treatment just now was truly astonishing.

"Or are you five years old?"

Caught off guard, Shinichiro couldn't continue speaking, so he chuckled twice and waited silently.

"All right."

Once the monitor restarts and the screen lights up, use the crosshairs as their positions, and the flashing red dot represents Conan's location.

"It's so close."

Looking at the red dot so close to her on the screen, Anya couldn't help but sigh.

"really."

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then turned to Tomoaki Niide. "Mr. Niide, how far is this distance approximately?"

"It's only about three kilometers."

Shinichiro leaned out of the car window and looked around. He quickly said, "It should be in those buildings along the river, maybe the place where the police car just appeared!"

"Wait a minute, the signal is moving."

Anya immediately became interested when she saw the signal source suddenly begin to move.

"Uncle Shinichi, quickly lead us to catch up with him, let me see what Conan is doing."

"Ok!"

Out of curiosity about the police car, Shinichiro also wanted to know what had happened.

Conan will definitely be with Kogoro Mouri, and the cases that Kogoro Mouri encounters are usually very entertaining.

Even if he can't help, he can still learn something from it.

With one last glance taking in the cherry blossom night view, Ai Haibara and Anya both turned their heads back, sat in their seats, and carefully watched the signal changes to avoid losing track of them.
