He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Ying Sheng shrugged: "Me too. I just did what I wanted to do. There aren't that many reasons. If I had to give a reason, Gin almost killed me last Monday night. I wanted revenge. Is that enough? I don't usually have the chance, but when I do, I'll definitely stab him in the back."

"But you should know that they are already suspicious of you, and the more you do, the more likely you are to expose yourself."

"Because of Miss Aida?"

"Correct."

“That doesn’t make sense. I just asked her to go and help.” Ying Sheng smiled. “Besides, they have no evidence.”

If Shinichi Kudo and Gin had exchanged information, then the fact that Shinichi Kudo himself had no memory of Sherry, while Hotaru Mizuki said that Shinichi Kudo regarded Sherry as his "white moonlight," would probably add another three points of suspicion to Hotaru Mizuki.

However, Gin was shot in the forehead and only managed to stay in the research institute for a short time before falling into a coma. He really didn't believe that this person could wake up so quickly.

Besides, couldn't Shinichi Kudo have lied?

Can't Shuiyue Yingsheng be a fool who gets taken advantage of?

At worst, he would just be suspected again, which would be completely harmless. Moreover, after the Aida Masayo incident, even if it wasn't about Sherry, Hotaru had a reason to challenge the organization.

The organization suspected me first.

I am heartbroken!

At this point, Ai Haibara's eyes twitched slightly, and she lowered her head: "If it's because of me..."

"Stop."

Ying Sheng grasped Xiao Lan's hand, raised it on the table, and laughed, "I'm not interested in little girls."

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes as she looked up and glared at him: "I'm talking about drug development, about Drug A!"

"That one..."

Ying Sheng shook his head and chuckled: "Mingzhi, why don't you tell her about your discovery?"

Ai Haibara turned her head.

Junairek quickly shook his head: "I didn't find anything. I just told Mr. Mizuki that he can contact me if he needs any research. Although I'm not as good as you, Ai, I can do most things. You can live the life you want and don't have to do the things you hate anymore."

The last sentence was something Ying Sheng had taught him before.

Looking at this coward who often bothered her in the organization, Ai Haibara's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

Live the life you want...

Ha, it's not that simple.

But since things had come to this point, Ai Haibara nodded slightly to Junai Ruike in thanks, then looked at Hotaru:

“My sister has a hidden identity and rented a safe house in Beikacho 6-chome. If the person who rescued me lets me leave alone, I might go there.”

“The person who saved you wouldn’t let you leave alone, that would be too fake,” Ying Sheng said. “The police have a reverse tracking program to trace phone calls, and the organization should have one too, right? Just call them.”

Ai Haibara asked in confusion, "But that's a safe house. The organization doesn't know it exists."

“I’ll let them know tactfully. By the way, is there anything you’re interested in there? I can help you take it,” Ying Sheng said.

Ai Haibara hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head: "I have nothing left. Could you buy me a voice recorder?"

"of course can."

Ying Sheng paused for a moment: "You seem to have already decided that Miss Akemi is dead. Why is that?"

Ran, who had been silent all along, immediately sat up straight. Since Mizuki-kun had taken the initiative to ask about this matter, then what Ai had said before, and what was published in the evening paper about the robbery at the Mizuki branch of the Yotsubishi Bank, was not Mizuki-kun's doing, right?

Ai Haibara was silent for a few moments: "The newspapers say that all the bank employees were killed. Vodka also sent his peripheral members to investigate, and they came to the same conclusion."

Ying Sheng pressed further, "Why is it so blurry? Is it impossible to completely determine the identity of the deceased?"

Ai Haibara said in a low voice, "First there was the explosion, then the gasoline fire. Many people at the scene were unrecognizable."

"In other words, it's impossible to be sure."

"Is there any other possibility?"

"of course."

"Um?!"

Chapter 227 Naive Ai is manipulated.

"Gin told me that Akemi went to that bank to rob 1 billion yen to pay your ransom... Is it possible that..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Before Hotaru could finish speaking, Ai Haibara interrupted, "The explosion and gunshots both happened after my sister answered my call. Even if she wanted to rob a bank, what are the chances of that happening?"

Moreover, she had promised Kiyoko Yukimatsu that she would take me away safely if given the chance, and she would never do that.

Ying Sheng shrugged: "What I mean is, did she encounter other bank robbers, or even that her accomplices in the robbery launched the attack in advance?"

"Eh?"

Ai Haibara was stunned. Was that even possible?

Ying Sheng said, "The main thing is that you have to think about it. Nobody has a reason to kill Miyano Akemi."

First, there's Yukimatsu Kiyoko. According to what you said before, Akemi told you the whole story of Yukimatsu Kiyoko's plan in a phone call, and that call was overheard by Gin. So even if she was faking unconsciousness at the time, there was no need to silence Akemi.

Even if there's a mastermind behind it all, he hasn't even shown his face, and Miss Akemi only mentioned Yukimatsu Kiyoko. Why would he silence her?

sad.

In reality, Kiyoko revealed herself in front of Akemi Miyano, and Hotaru was worried that the various parties in the research room would immediately exchange information, so he controlled Akemi Miyano.

If he had known those guys would faint so quickly, and that Vermouth would later cause trouble by murdering Sherry, he could have pinned the blame on Vermouth back then.

The fake Qingzi will pay the price for the real Qingzi's actions!

After listening to Hotaru's words, Ai Haibara pondered silently, feeling that they made some sense, but not entirely.

Ran was also deep in thought. From her perspective, Hotaru and Miyano Akemi were cooperating. Although the plan to use Vermouth failed at first, Sherry was still rescued in the end. No matter how you looked at it, there was no need for him to kill her.

A few moments.

Ai Haibara asked, "Did you send that notebook containing the experimental data to the research institute?"

Ying Sheng frowned: "What notebook?"

Ai Haibara sighed softly and revealed her belief that Kiyoko Yukimatsu had multiple personalities, adding:

“I also believe that it wasn’t you who brought the notebook in. This has nothing to do with saving me and will only increase other people’s attention to Kiyoko Yukimatsu, making the plan more difficult. But this means that there is someone else behind this, and their purpose is unknown.”

Ying Sheng pondered for a moment: "If his focus was solely on Yukimatsu Kiyoko, or even if his plan was to ruin her, he would have even less reason to silence Miss Akemi."

Ai Haibara nodded slowly, a glimmer of hope gradually appearing in her eyes: "If all of this is really just a coincidence, then how can I find my sister?"

Ying Sheng shrugged: "How would I know? Don't you two have any secret ways of contact that only the two of you know?"

"That safe house!"

"Let's put the baiting aside for now. Why don't you leave her a message there first? And isn't there any other way? Miss Akemi is currently in a state of suspended animation, so she might not necessarily risk going to places she's been before."

"This……"

Ai Haibara pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and looked up, saying, "Once before, my sister sent me a floppy disk containing travel photos. I opened it on my computer and quickly sent it back."

After that, a floppy disk containing my medication information went missing; I guess it was sent by mistake.

I didn't pay much attention to that floppy disk at the time, but now that I've left the organization, it's very important if I want to continue researching drug A.

Logically speaking, I would go and retrieve it.

"Mr. Mizuki, could you perhaps use this to spread the word that I'm still alive? If my sister is still alive, if she finds out about this, she'll definitely think of the safe house, and then we can re-establish contact!"

Ying Sheng said, "It should be possible. Do you know where that disk is now?"

Ai Haibara shook her head: "I don't know. Maybe it's at my sister's house. The organization went to my sister's house this afternoon. Maybe they've already found that disk."

However, my sister mentioned that the photo was stored on a floppy disk by a professor from Nanyang University who accompanied her on the trip. His name was Hirota Masami. Perhaps my sister would return the disk to him without question after receiving it.

Ying Sheng laughed and said, "It would be best if he had the floppy disk, but it doesn't really matter if he doesn't. Anyway, the organization doesn't know how much data you left behind outside. As long as it makes sense, you can have it anywhere you want."

Ai Haibara's lips curled slightly: "That's how it is."

But she immediately became serious again: "The organization sent the emails for me. It wasn't a big deal when I was in the organization, but after I escaped, they might investigate in these directions. My negligence could harm Professor Hirota, and I have to make amends."

"May I ask you for a favor, Mr. Mizuki?"

Ying Sheng downed the contents of his glass in one gulp. "Tsk," he thought, "it's orange juice." He smacked his lips in slight disappointment, then smiled and stood up.

"Of course, I'm very happy to help others."

He turned to Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, would you mind taking them to the Maori residence for the night? I suspect the old man who was watching them should have left long ago, so there shouldn't be any risk."

Xiaolan nodded, then pouted somewhat unhappily: "I hope that ghost lady doesn't leave anything strange in my room."

She clearly had a strange misunderstanding.

"Forehead……"

Ying Sheng was also somewhat uncertain about this matter: "Let Mingzhi pave the way for you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Junerek asked in confusion, "What strange thing?"

"Nothing much, just some small toys."

Ran rolled her eyes, stood up and looked at Ai Haibara: "Ai, do you want me to hug you? It'll be more discreet."

Ai Haibara silently pulled up her hood and stood up: "If I'm still discovered like this, then I'm really unlucky."

After a short while, watching the taxi carrying the three of them drive away, Ying Sheng let out a big yawn.

He really wants to sleep right now.

Ding dong——!

The email notification rang, and Ying Sheng sighed. He was truly destined to be a workaholic.

[Border] It will be more than five hours before we arrive. Before that, what will this frail human body use to replenish its energy?

Ying Sheng opened the email, which contained a list of programmers sent to him by Amuro Tooru.

He walked back to the izakaya while flipping through the pages.
