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

"Ah? What's going on?"

Junairik looked puzzled.

"It's nothing, just hit me."

Ai Haibara didn't want to talk about these things with boys, so she went back to watching TV.

Junais scratched his head, puzzled, dialed the number, and was answered after about ten seconds.

"Hey, Mindful, is the seminar over?"

The voice coming through the receiver, however, was Xiaolan's.

Junairek was slightly taken aback, but knowing that Ying Sheng and Xiao Lan were very close, he quickly nodded: "The seminar has been successfully completed, and the experts and scholars from the Suzuki Foundation are urging both sides to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible and carry out research."

"I understand. Here's a phone number. Talk to her about the uniqueness of your technology, and then entrust all subsequent business cooperation matters to her." Xiaolan read out Eri's number. "Is there anything else?"

"Uh, that's all..."

"Where's Mizuki-kun? Is he drunk by now?"

Just as Junai was about to hang up, Ai Haibara interrupted.

"He had some other things to take care of, he'll come over when he's done." Xiaolan had probably gone to a secluded spot, and the noise and laughter seemed to fade into the distance. "Sorry, Ai, you'll have to cook for yourselves again."

"There shouldn't be anyone in the Maori house right now, I know that. The curtains are drawn and the lights aren't on."

Although it sounds a bit tragic, Ai Haibara and Junai Ruik used to go months without seeing the sun and didn't think much of it.

"Is Mizuki-kun in some kind of trouble? Do you need our help?" Ai Haibara asked.

"I don't think that's necessary. I think this was probably within his expectations." Xiaolan's tone became inexplicably lower. "Michika, your computer skills are pretty good, right? Could you please compile a list of the major events that happened in Tokyo today?"

“No problem.” Junerek nodded quickly.

"A major incident?" Ai Haibara's tone also lowered. "Ran-neechan, do you mean that what happened last night might happen again?"

"I don't know either, the probability should be quite small."

After all, Shuiyue-kun is probably under police surveillance right now, unless he really arranged everything in advance.

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but...

Shinichi isn't stupid, right?

Now that Shuiyue-kun is under suspicion, he'll probably be a little more restrained and won't dare to commit crimes against the wind.

Ran thought to herself, comforted Ai Haibara with a few words, said goodbye, and hung up the phone.

As Ai Haibara listened to the busy tone on the phone, her eyes dimmed slightly. But when she felt Junai's worried gaze, her spirits lifted again, and she shook her head.

"Honestly, do these two really treat me like a child? They keep saying that even if someone dies, it's not my fault. I've already told them I know."

She looked up at Junerek: "But just how many drugs have you been secretly hiding?"

"Forehead……"

Junerek scratched his head awkwardly: "Just one box. You know, the organization didn't pay much attention to APTX-4869 before; they used it as a poison. Gin has some too, and Curaçao has some as well."

"Oh, that's right too."

Ai Haibara sighed softly, reached for the collar of her purple shirt, but found nothing, and sighed again.

"I used to carry one with me, in case I ever felt like I had no will to live and decided to commit suicide..."

"Ai, please don't commit suicide! I..."

"Of course not now, let me finish."

Ai Haibara was interrupted halfway through her speech by Junai Ruik, who looked panicked. She then interrupted him again, glaring at the terrible listener.

“On Friday night, when I thought my sister was dead, I thought about swallowing the A pill to end it all. But just as I made up my mind, Vodka came over and kept watching me, so I didn’t have a chance. Then Kiyoko Yukimatsu came in and was humiliating me. I thought that dying from the A pill might be a quicker death, so I turned my head to bite it. But she saw me and snatched it from my mouth. The A pill ended up in her hands.”

Ai Haibara finished speaking in one breath, looked at the stunned Junairik, and snorted.

“I know it’s fortunate that I didn’t eat it, otherwise I wouldn’t have survived. Tell me, when did you discover that APTX-4869 only works on the Miyano family bloodline? I didn’t even realize it.”

"Ah, that's probably because you weren't putting in the effort, Ai. After all, the organization has been forcing you."

Junairek snapped out of his reverie and thought for a moment: "When you took drug A, as long as the effects didn't take hold immediately, Kiyoko Yukimatsu might have thought you were dead. If you had left that place, you could have survived without any problems."

"hehe…"

Ai Haibara shrugged: "If that's what you're saying, then if I had taken the A drug and shrunk before Vodka came to guard me, wouldn't I have been able to escape through the ventilation ducts when no one was around, without having to wait for anyone to rescue me?"

Junairek nodded in agreement: "Oh, right, there's another way. That research institute was built a long time ago, and it seems there aren't even any cameras in the solitary confinement cells."

"..."

Ai Haibara wonders if this guy, despite being timid, is actually an optimist.

How could such a thing be possible?

Junerek asked with considerable interest, "If you escaped that way, Ai, where would you go?"

Where will you go?

Ai Haibara suddenly froze, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head.

“I don’t know, I’ll probably go to my sister’s safe house first, and then…” She picked up the remote and turned up the TV volume. “Let’s not talk about these things anymore. Life is actually pretty good right now.”

It would be even better if my older sister were here too.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things."

Junelek stood up and walked towards the kitchen, his face resolute: "As an apology, please let me cook!"

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at him: "What's with that look on your face, like you're going to your execution? Ran-neechan made a bento box for lunch, just eat that."

"Huh? What about tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's not like I can't cook, and I even have sandwiches."

"Um...that's right."

Junairik turned around: "When I saw you being consumed by flames outside the incinerator, I was already disheartened and had completely lost faith. When Mr. Shuiyue pointed out that drug A might be able to save you, I shouted out in a very outrageous manner."

If Kiyoko Yukimatsu had been hiding nearby at the time, she would very likely have heard that sentence.

She may not know now that you've shrunk, but after everything that's happened, she'll probably realize you're still alive.

"Given your example, what do you think of drug A?"

Ai Haibara's eyes lit up: "You mean, Kiyoko Yukimatsu thinks APTX-4869 is a miracle drug? If that's the case, the person she wants to save will actually die because of her..."

That wouldn't be...

Although she knew her thoughts were somewhat malicious, Ai Haibara still felt a small, malicious excitement.

Anyway, the person that Yukimatsu Kiyoko is going to save will definitely be a bad guy, so wouldn't it be better if that person died in agony?

Her mood inexplicably lifted, and Ai Haibara suddenly felt a certain anticipation for this kind of thing.

However, out of good manners, he didn't say "That's really great."

Moreover, she actually had some concerns about this matter.

Ai Haibara said dejectedly, "Kiyoko Yukimatsu saw me trying to take the A drug; she probably guessed that there's something wrong with it."

Junairek thought for a moment: "Not necessarily. She didn't know you wanted to die at the time. She might have thought you wanted to take drugs to fight back. Considering the situation later, she might have thought it was a drug that could unleash a person's life potential."

"Makes sense."

Ai Haibara saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness and asked, "Are you sure APTX-4869 only works on the Miyano family bloodline? I don't want another case of rejuvenation to occur, otherwise the risk of me being exposed will increase."

"That's true."

Junairek nodded, pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head: "That doesn't seem to be accurate either."

"What do you mean?"

“Your parents developed drug A using their own genes as a template, but drug A can also work on you, which means that they did not use completely unique gene pairs, but rather genes that have some universality.”

Ai Haibara, being a genius scientist, immediately understood upon hearing this.

"You mean, drug A works for me, it will work for my sister, it will work for the Miyano family relatives, and the closer the bloodline, the greater the likelihood?"

"That's it."

"A relative of the Miyano family..."

Ai Haibara pondered upon hearing this. She had never seen her parents since she could remember. Did they have any brothers or sisters?

After a long while, Ai Haibara, having gained nothing, shook her head.

"Even if there is, the chances of running into Kiyoko Yukimatsu are slim. Get me a bag of potato chips."

"OK, what flavor?"

The daily routine continues here, while on the other side, in Tsuburaya Town.

Looking at Shinichi Kudo lying in a pool of blood, Vermouth's right hand trembled slightly as she took out a capsule from her chest.

Red and white color options, APTX-4869!

Chapter 287: The incident concludes, and Conan Edogawa is born!

Why did things suddenly turn out this way?

Hua Ying was quite distressed.

Although her sole purpose was to prevent Amuro Tooru from escaping with Vermouth, and to make the incident appear more closely linked to the brewery in the eyes of the police, she subtly informed the brewery of what was happening here, letting them know that Vermouth was not dead.

Early Saturday morning, Chianti, the distillery's sniper, shot a suspected Vermouth in the head.

So, after they find out about this, Vermouth's fate will probably be the same.

boom--!

Under the gloomy sky of Tsuburaya Town, the familiar sound of sniper rifles rang out.

Hua Ying smiled smugly, picked up her binoculars and looked at the scene, but two seconds later, her expression froze on her face.

why?
