Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Does this really work?

"It's not a big problem," Zheng Yi said.

He handed the antidote to Conan, saying, "However, we still don't know if there's any..."

Before Zheng Yi could finish speaking, Conan stuffed the antidote into his mouth.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry," Zheng Yi said softly.

He originally planned to point out the potential dangers, then encourage Conan and comfort him to try the drug.

But I didn't expect Conan to be so reckless.

Before Zheng Yi could say two words, he swallowed the pills.

and.

"You should at least take off your clothes before taking your medicine," Zheng Yi said.

"Uh, I forgot."

Conan touched his forehead and felt his head was a little hot.

Knowing that the drug was taking effect, Conan didn't care about anything else and started taking off his clothes in front of Shoichi.

"Sigh~"

Zheng Yi covered his eyes, unable to bear to look.

Kids these days have no sense of boundaries at all.

"I'll go get you some clothes."

Zheng Yi walked out of the room and waited for a while. He heard Conan coughing incessantly inside the room, so he slipped his clothes through the crack in the door.

Soon, Shinichi Kudo came out of the room.

But he didn't seem overly happy.

"Can it really be completely restored?" Shinichi Kudo asked uncertainly.

He walked up to the mirror, looked at himself, and smiled.

The previous antidote only provided temporary relief; the duration of this one is still unknown.

Zheng looked at him and said, "My researchers said that this antidote either provides a permanent cure or it doesn't work."

It should be fully recoverable.

But Shinichi Kudo was still not quite sure.

Last time, he told Xiaolan decisively, and then had to make up a new reason.

"It's better to be cautious," Shinichi Kudo said. "Let's wait until I can maintain this state for a while before making any moves."

Zheng Yi nodded, agreeing with Shinichi Kudo's words.

We need to observe the mice closely before we can get Xiao Ai to take the medicine.

“How about this,” Zheng Yi said, “you can stay at my research institute for a while, so I can better check your physical condition.”

"Leave Xiaolan to me; just tell her you're coming on a trip with me."

"Okay." Shinichi Kudo nodded.

Conan and Shoichi have a good relationship, so if Conan says he's going on a trip with Shoichi, Ran won't suspect anything.

After the matter was settled, Zheng arranged for him to work at the research institute.

A room in the research institute.

Shoichi and Ai, one big and one small, were observing a screen that was monitoring Shinichi Kudo's daily life and behavior.

Ai was holding a report in her hand, which recorded her physical indicators.

"So far, everything is normal," Ai said, her tone very cheerful.

Shinichi Kudo's condition has remained unchanged for five days.

"We still need to be more cautious," Zheng Yi said.

Ai nodded in agreement.

She doesn't have Conan's impulsive personality, so we have to be extra careful.

Last time, I took a temporary antidote, which made me feel very awkward in front of Zheng Yi.

Looking at the screen in front of her, Ai's thoughts suddenly drifted far away.

If I really recover, what will my relationship with Zheng Yi be like?

Last time, it felt like we were complete strangers, which was very awkward and uncomfortable.

Masahiro suggested to Ai, "Should we add new test subjects?"

"So you're still eyeing Sera Masumi's mother?" Ai's eyelids twitched.

"I just think that individual cases are not easy to identify, and might the situation differ between men and women?" Zheng Yi suggested sincerely.

"Never mind." Ai shook her head.

She was not familiar with Sera Masumi's mother, and was not very willing to get close to her.

For now, having Shinichi Kudo as our guinea pig is enough.

Seeing that Ai refused, Masaichi reached out and ruffled Ai's hair.

Ai refused and slapped her hand away.

Zheng Yi reached out his hand again, but Xiao Ai slapped it away.

Shoichi grabbed Ai's hands with one hand and pressed the other hand onto her head.

She muttered under her breath, "It won't be convenient to touch you soon, and you won't even let me touch you a little more now."

Ai glared at Zheng Yi with resentment, her little hands unable to break free, forced to endure the pain.

Time flies.

Shinichi Kudo has always been in a normal state.

He's been at the research institute for two weeks now, and Ran has called more than once to ask about Conan's situation.

Shinichi Kudo couldn't stay here any longer either.

"Brother Zhengyi, I really can't stand it anymore. It's been two weeks already, and I feel like this antidote is really working." Shinichi Kudo said to Zhengyi.

Zheng Yi felt that there was no problem with the antidote, but his eyes were full of regret.

“I don’t think there’s a problem. I’ll go and discuss it with the researcher,” Zheng Yi said.

“Okay,” Shinichi Kudo said. “By the way, who is that researcher? I’d like to thank him in person.”

“There will be opportunities in the future,” Zheng Yi said.

After discussing it with Ai, Masakazu quickly released Shinichi Kudo.

The aftermath of letting Shinichi Kudo go is...

Ran was told that Conan had been taken away by his parents, and that his childhood friend had also returned to school with him.

Ran is still very reluctant to part with Conan.

After spending so much time together, Shinichi Kudo had no choice but to beg Masakazu to let his AI impersonate Conan to deceive Ran.

Shinichi Kudo kept sighing.

I can only gradually reduce my contact with Xiaolan.

The longer time goes on, the less noticeable Conan will become, and Ran will eventually forget about him.

He still didn't have the courage to be honest with Xiaolan.

The Kudo family, including Yusaku Kudo, felt completely relieved and were very happy to see his son recover.

Zheng Yi takes money and gets things done.

Kudo Yusaku felt a little guilty. He had actually suspected Shoichi back then, suspecting that he only wanted to make money off the Kudo family and didn't really want to research the antidote.

In retrospect, it seems I was judging a gentleman by my own petty standards.

Yukiko no longer has to work herself to the bone to earn money.

But they also knew the importance of money, so they planned to take on some jobs to save some money for the family.

This made Zheng Yi very happy.

The antidote was also sent to Sera Masumi, and Akai Mary took it, returning to her original state.

She and Zheng Yi had also arranged a time to meet.

Both sides are making preparations to try to make a good impression on their relatives.

Sera Masumi was also very curious about what Ai would be like when she grew up.

Thinking about how I used to poke Ai's cheeks all the time, and imagining what she would look like when she grew up, I suddenly felt a little itchy to touch her cheek.

After careful consideration, Ai Haibara also became Shiho Miyano.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

On the day Ai recovered, Shoichi appeared very sad and regretful.

She hid in her room and 'cried' all day, leaving Shiho Miyano and Akemi completely baffled.

Akemi was confused and wanted to go over and comfort her, but Shiho stopped her.

Zhengyi's sadness ended the next day, turning into confusion.

因为，在度过了3月2日之后，依旧没有迎来3月3，而是直接变成了11月23。

The date is still incorrect.

"I've already returned to my original form, so you don't need to protect me anymore, right?" Shiho Miyano said, looking at Curaçao. She was finally no longer a child.

To celebrate Shiho Miyano's return, she even had Shoichi expel Ai from school.

She was going to say goodbye to Ai Haibara completely.

Curaçao said businesslike, "The person who was monitoring you hasn't been caught yet, and you are still in danger."

"That person is spying on Ai Haibara, what does that have to do with me, Shiho Miyano?" she muttered under her breath.

"This is what Zheng Yi told me."

"Too much trouble," Shiho Miyano muttered under her breath.

Since she turned back into her original form, her interactions with Masakazu have become awkward again.

It wasn't exactly awkward; it was more like they treated each other with the utmost respect.

They speak very politely, but it's hard to tell if that's a sign of closeness or distance.

Anyway, she hasn't moved out of Zheng Yi's villa yet.

Her sister, who also likes to meddle, said that Zheng Yi was a virgin with no dating experience, probably because he was shy.

Shiho Miyano was baffled.

What does this have to do with having dating experience? What's there to be ashamed of?
But her sister turned around and teased her instead.

baffling.

"Goo~"

Curaçao suddenly clutched her stomach.

"What's wrong?" Shiho Miyano asked.

"My stomach is a little upset," Curaçao said.

"Go to the restroom first, you don't need to keep an eye on me all the time," Shiho said.

Curaçao looked around, nodded, and walked toward the toilet.

The two are currently in a luxury store; Shiho hasn't been to a luxury store in a long time.

When we were little kids, we were looked at strangely when we came here to shop.

After Curaçao went to the restroom, Shiho watched over the bag alone.

Inside the store, the fragrance was strong yet oppressive, and the sales assistants wore well-tailored professional attire with smiles on their faces.

Shiho Miyano stood in front of a display case showcasing bags, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Miss, this bag is a limited edition this year, and it suits your style perfectly," the sales assistant said enthusiastically, holding a dark blue crocodile-patterned handbag in both hands.

Shiho reached out her hand, and her fingertips had just touched the cold metal chain when her body suddenly froze.

She suddenly smelled a strange odor.

She didn't turn around, but her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

"no need."

She coldly tossed out a sentence, not even glancing at the bag, and turned to walk towards the store door.

As she stepped out of the store, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She remembered that she seemed to have Curaçao protecting her, and Curaçao was in the shop's restroom.

Just as I was about to turn back, my gaze pierced through the bustling crowd and landed precisely in a pair of cold eyes.

Gin stood across the street, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, white smoke swirling around him.

He was wearing his signature black trench coat, the collar open.

He seemed surprised to see her here; his usually expressionless face froze for a moment.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Shiho felt all the blood rush to her head.

Her mind went blank.

run!
She turned abruptly, bumped into a passerby who was looking at a shop window, and ran wildly towards the alleyway in the opposite direction.

"Sherry!"

A low, murderous roar came from behind.

Shiho's heart skipped a beat, but she quickened her pace.

She heard hurried footsteps behind her, and Vodka's panting voice shouting, "It's Sherry! Grab her!"

She dared not look back, and could only run for her life.

She turned into a narrow alleyway, in the old town, which was out of place with the bustling outside.

The alley is lined with mottled walls piled with clutter and trash cans.

"what!"

Shiho's foot seemed to have tripped over something, and she fell straight to the ground.

Moreover, I don't know if it was because I ran too fast and was too tired, or if I was also afraid.

She was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and completely exhausted.

Gin and vodka were hot on their heels.

They never expected to run into Shirley here.

Gin was just there to kill someone nearby, but luck was on his side when he saw familiar hair.

He hadn't expected Shirley to be so bold.

The organization never stopped searching for her, but this girl was leisurely browsing luxury stores.

Gin was both surprised and angry.

He was surprised by Sherry's foolishness, which allowed him to find her so quickly.

She was also angry at Sulli's relaxed demeanor.

This guy is so relaxed that he doesn't even care about the organization.

Does she think the people in the organization are all dead or blind? Does she think that even if she wanders around aimlessly, she won't be caught by them?

While chasing after them, Gin secretly resolved to rectify the organization's atmosphere once again.

This is definitely not the first time Sherry has been so careless, but why didn't the organization find her before?
It must be those incompetent scoundrels who are wasting the organization's wages.

Curaçao, who was using the restroom, also heard the loud "Sherry" outside.

She instantly realized the situation outside.

Chop it off, wipe it, lift it up.

Gin and vodka are much faster than Shiho, after all.

“Brother, there’s a dead end ahead,” Vodka said.

They saw Shiho run into an alley.

That's where they just dealt with a traitor; the traitor's body has also been disposed of.

Shirley had nowhere to run.

A cruel smile appeared on Gin's face. He slowed his pace and pulled a pistol from his pocket.

Finally, we can deal with this traitor in the organization.

When the two entered the alley, Gin and Vodka were both taken aback.

Shirley has disappeared.

Then, their gazes shifted downwards, and they saw a little girl wearing the same coat that Shirley had just worn.

Ai squatted on the ground, shrinking into her oversized coat.

She looked up at Gin and vodka.

I was both confused and scared.

She didn't know what had happened either.

After running into this alley, my body inexplicably changed, and I turned back into a child.

"Where's Sherry?" Gin looked at the little girl in front of him dangerously.

Ai trembled with fear.

I felt incredibly helpless.

"Big brother," Vodka whispered, "Could it be that Sherry stepped on this little girl and escaped over the wall?"

Gin narrowed his eyes.

Given Shirley's physical condition, it was absolutely impossible for her to climb over the wall on her own.

"So, you're the accomplice of that traitor who escaped?" Gin stared coldly at Ai.

Ai squatted on the ground, remaining silent.

You might not believe it, but I am the traitor.

Gin raised his pistol.

The traitor deserves to die, and the guy who helped the traitor escape also deserves to die.

"and many more!"

"Wait!" (End of Chapter)
