Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

It goes without saying that the organization must have targeted my sister!

Thinking of this, she sat down on the ground helplessly, tears streaming down her face.

Vodka, who was standing nearby, did not say anything.

Instead, they had the grieving Shiho Miyano locked in an empty room in an attempt to calm her down.

Before leaving, Vodka coldly said, "I'll give you two days. If you don't intend to continue researching drugs for the organization, what will happen to you... I don't need to tell you, do I?"

At that moment, Shiho Miyano silently watched Vodka's retreating figure.

She had cried all her tears.

A moment later, she reached into her shirt pocket.

He took out a red and white pill and resolutely put it in his mouth.

"Is it time to say goodbye to this world?"

"Sister...will I ever see you again?"

……

Evening

It was drizzling outside, and it was already getting dark.

Longye came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

After placing the dishes on the table, he glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Xiao Lan should be back soon by now."

"I was planning to make shredded pork with garlic sauce again. Sigh, looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Just as Long Ye finished sighing, he suddenly heard a system notification.

[A person who can be bound has appeared nearby.]

The door opened as soon as the system's voice finished speaking.

Xiao Lan ran in carrying a little girl.

"Longye! This child collapsed outside. I saw no one around, so I brought her back first."

"She seems to have a fever. I'll go find her some clothes to wear. You go and get some cold medicine!"

After saying that, Xiaolan hurriedly picked up the little girl and ran upstairs.

Upon seeing the little girl's face clearly, Ryūno exclaimed in surprise: "Ai Haibara!?"

……

Shortly after

Ran carried Ai Haibara downstairs and placed her on the sofa.

Since there were no children's clothes, she dressed Ai Haibara in one of her own shirts.

At this moment, Ryūno also rummaged through the medicine box and found some fever reducers. He then grabbed a blanket, walked to the sofa, and draped the blanket over Ai Haibara.

At this moment, Xiaolan spoke up to explain, "On my way back, I saw this little girl lying on the ground."

"She was wearing a very large white coat, and she was completely soaked. Her head was burning hot, so I just carried her back."

"I wonder where this child came from, and where her parents are."

"Let's take her home after she wakes up."

After hearing Xiaolan's words, Longye nodded.

But he sighed inwardly.

parents?

Family?

She probably doesn't have any of these things anymore...

When she was young, her parents died in a laboratory fire.

That laboratory was funded and established by the Karasuma Group—that is, the organization itself.

There must be something fishy going on here! Even if you beat Longye to death, he wouldn't believe it!

From then on, her only relative was her older sister.

Now that she has appeared as "Ai Haibara," it means she already knows that her sister was killed.

That's why she swallowed APTX-4869, hoping to find relief.

As for her—because she had an extremely intelligent mind, she was sent to study in the United States by the organization before she could remember.

After studying abroad, I joined the organization and participated in the development of APTX4869.

Her parents were killed by the organization, but she continued to work for the organization, developing drugs.

Later, her only relative, Akemi Miyano, was also killed by the organization.

Upon learning of her sister's death, she desperately swallowed APTX4869…

From this perspective, she is one of the most tragic characters in the world of Detective Conan.

Thinking of this, Ryūno helped up the unconscious Ai Haibara and fed her the fever reducer.

……

Chapter 89 My name is—Ai Haibara

after an hour

"Where is this?"

Shiho Miyano opened her eyes, covered her head, and sat up.

She looked around in confusion, the unfamiliar surroundings making her extremely wary.

After regaining her senses for a while, she remembered.

After taking the medicine, she didn't die, but instead shrank!

Then, using the child's body, she successfully escaped from the organization's laboratory.

She just kept running forward as fast as she could.

Finally, she exhausted all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

She didn't know what happened after that.

Hearing the noise coming from the sofa, Ryuno and Ran, who were sitting at the dining table, immediately stood up and walked towards the sofa.

"You're awake! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Seeing that the little girl had opened her eyes, Xiaolan asked with concern.

Upon hearing the words of the unfamiliar woman in front of her, Shiho Miyano immediately realized that she had met a good person.

The man and woman in front of them did not have the "aura" of those guys.

This beautiful woman with "horns" gives off a very warm feeling.

The handsome man smiling beside him, though giving off a mysterious and strange vibe, probably wasn't a bad person.

After observing the two people in front of her, she replied, "I'm fine now. Who are you?"

"My name is Ran Mouri, and this is Tatsuno Takeda. Little sister, what's your name? Where do you live?"

After hearing Xiaolan's question, a look of sadness appeared in her eyes.

Yes, her sister has been killed by the organization.

She also shrank because of that drug.

Although she escaped the organization, she was no longer "Shiho Miyano".

What can she do next...?

Revenge? With her?

If revenge is impossible, then what is the meaning and purpose of her life now?

After a moment of silence, Shiho Miyano said with a sorrowful expression, "Ai Haibara... My name is Ai Haibara."

"I have no home, and my parents passed away long ago..."

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Xiaolan's eyes also showed a trace of sorrow, and for a moment she did not know how to speak.

She grabbed Ryuno's arm and shook it gently, as if seeking help from Ryuno who had "seen the same experience".

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn somber, Longye cleared his throat, looked at Xiaolan, and said, "In that case, you can stay here for the time being."

“You can think of me and Xiaolan as your father… uh, brother and sister.”

Upon hearing Ryūno's words, a glimmer of light appeared in Ai's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

She did need a place to stay, but the two kind people in front of her had just saved her.

If, due to their own actions, these two people are targeted by the organization…

Thinking of this, she said softly, her expression darkening, "But..."

"That's right, you can stay here! This older brother and I will take care of you! I've wanted a little sister for so long~"

"But I..."

Seeing Ai Haibara's hesitant expression, Tatsuno guessed what she was thinking and casually said, "You look scared. Were you being targeted by some bad guys before?"

"Don't worry, both I and this older sister will protect you. You don't need to worry at all, just stay here and relax."

After saying that, Longye smiled and looked at Xiaolan beside him, saying in an exaggerated tone, "Don't let this older sister's soft appearance fool you, she's very capable!"

"No matter what material the table is made of, she can easily split it in half with her hands~"

Seeing that Longye was joking with her, Xiaolan snorted softly, then placed her slender hand on Longye's waist and twisted it forcefully.

Although Ryūno's physique was such that he didn't feel any pain.

But he still let out an exaggerated shout and then kept begging Xiaolan for mercy.
