Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Actually, your sister is not dead."

Shuichi Akai's words stunned both Ai Haibara and Conan.

not dead?

"You, what did you say?"

Ai Haibara's voice trembled slightly.

"You mean, my sister is still alive?"

Hideaki Akai nodded.

"She was rescued and secretly smuggled out of the country."

"She then joined the witness protection program and is currently staying in the United States."

In that instant, an unprecedented hope shone in Ai Haibara's eyes.

"That's great...that's great..."

She raised her hands to cover her face, crying and laughing at the same time.

Overwhelmed by her intense emotions, Ai Haibara gasped for breath.

After a long while, she managed to calm down.

"Can I...can I contact my sister?"

She looked at Shuichi Akai with hopeful eyes.

Shuichi Akai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He took out his phone, dialed Akemi Miyano's number, and handed it to Ai Haibara.

Chapter 263 Conan and Kurosawa's Interaction

"Beep...beep...beep!"

The call was answered.

Ai Haibara held her breath until a familiar and gentle voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Your Majesty?"

Tears welled up in her eyes again, and large teardrops kept flowing out. Haibara cried out.

"Sister...Sister! Waaah...Sister!"

She clearly had so much to say, but all she could actually utter were the words "sister" and suppressed sobs.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by some hesitation.

"...Shiho?"

"It's me! Sister, it's me!"

Ai Haibara responded immediately.

In her emotional state, she didn't notice her sister's unusual behavior.

"Sister, I miss you so much..."

"I……"

Ai Haibara begins to express her longing.

She recounted everything that had happened to her, without hiding anything.

Akemi Miyano listened quietly, her voice gentle, occasionally responding with a few words.

She wasn't surprised that Ai Haibara would contact her.

Kurosawa had mentioned this to her not long ago.

Akemi Miyano was both surprised and grateful for this.

She was afraid to meet the current Ai Haibara.

However, it seems there is no problem if we are just communicating by phone.

Listening to Ai Haibara's rambling voice in her ear, Akemi Miyano smiled contentedly.

That's great! Shiho is living a completely new life.

She broke free from the organization, was able to attend a regular school, and even made a few friends.

Although she has turned back into a child, this can make up for the childhood she missed.

Akemi Miyano is very satisfied with the current situation.

She is alive, and her younger sister is alive too.

Moreover, they all broke away from the organization.

Isn't this the life they've always dreamed of?

Although we can't meet yet, it's only a matter of time.

Kurosawa never lied to her!

Akemi Miyano confirmed this fact once again.

Therefore, she couldn't let Kurosawa down!

No matter what, it's absolutely not allowed!

The future that Kurosawa painted for her was too beautiful.

It was so wonderful that she was willing to sacrifice everything for it.

……

Seeing the satisfied expression on Ai Haibara's face as she talked with Akemi Miyano, Conan suddenly wanted to talk to someone about the question that had just come to mind.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo went upstairs to get the first-aid kit. Shuichi Akai and Professor Agasa were looking at Ai Haibara, so Conan's gaze fell on Kurosawa.

He walked directly to Kurosawa and sat down next to him.

"Kurosawa-kun, I've run into a problem."

Conan cut to the chase: "Is justice for those who kill still justice?"

"Life is of paramount importance. In principle, no one should trample on or trifle with life for any reason, but..."

Kurosawa raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

Is he thinking about infiltrating an undercover agent to commit murder?

He raised his hand and ruffled Conan's hair.

"Conan, there is no answer to your question."

"What?" Conan didn't understand.

"Everyone has a different definition of justice."

"You have encountered many cases and witnessed all kinds of murderers who use the name of justice to satisfy their own selfish desires."

"So in your view, the bottom line of justice is that you can't kill people."

"But that's not the case for some people."

"You should still remember Asagi Minoru, right?"

Conan nodded; this incident left a deep impression on him.

Kurosawa continued.

"When justice is not served, pure revenge becomes the only justice."

"This is a quote from Sherlock Holmes, and it is also the most accurate description of Asano Minori."

"So for Asano Minami, revenge is justice."

"This..." Conan was momentarily speechless, "But, Asano Minami's actions were wrong..."

Kurosawa nodded.

"Individual justice can conflict with each other, so we need a standard of measurement."

"When the scope of justice is expanded to a group or even a nation, justice may simply be the interest of the masses."

"The public's...interests?" Conan asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, if you approach it from this angle, you might get the answer you're looking for."

Conan lowered his head in deep thought.

Is it in the public interest?

Mr. Amuro went undercover to eliminate the organization.

This is undoubtedly in the best interests of the public.

So, his killing for this reason was...

"Okay, don't overthink it."

Kurosawa patted Conan on the head.

"If you have the chance later, you might be able to ask him for his opinion."

Is this my personal opinion?

Conan nodded.

"I understand."

"Can you answer one more question for me, Kurosawa-kun?"

Kurosawa gestured for Conan to ask.

What is your sense of justice?
