Seeing Conan's bewildered expression, Professor Agasa explained with a touch of pride, "Because I've been assisting a friend's toy company with the development of a new product recently, they paid me a large deposit, hahaha!"

Dr. Agasa suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

"Professor, what is this thing?" Conan examined the card for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so he looked at Professor Agasa with some curiosity.

"Kamen Rider Transformation Card!"

Just as Conan was wondering what was going on, a strange voice suddenly came from the back row, startling him.

"what!?"

Conan turned around in alarm to look behind him, only to see the three members of the Junior Detective League each holding one of these cards and showing them off to him.

"Haha, Conan, you were startled, weren't you!" Ayumi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the frightened expression on Conan's face.

"Professor Agasa gave each of us a Kamen Rider transformation card this morning!" Genta explained to Conan.

"Kamen Rider transformation card?" Conan looked puzzled.

"After recording your voice with this card, you can transform it into various different sounds and play them back." Mitsuhiko waved the Kamen Rider transformation card in his hand, excitedly explaining its function to Conan. "This is Kamen Rider's latest product!"

"Isn't that just like my bow tie voice changer?!"

Upon hearing Mitsuhiko's explanation, Conan couldn't help but glance at the voice changer on his collar and silently mutter a complaint.

However, Professor Agasa didn't hear Conan's inner monologue. Instead, he watched Conan smugly as he boasted, "How about that? You always said my stuff was just junk, but now this product is being distributed nationwide! Hahahaha..."

After saying that, Professor Agasa finally laughed heartily.

This time, he finally proved himself in front of that kid Kudo and vented his anger.

Professor Agasa always remembered what Kudo had said before: that the things he invented were all useless and defective products, but he had no way to refute it.

This time, I can finally turn the tables and be the master of my own destiny.

……

Seeing the professor's proud expression, Conan helplessly shrugged. Although the Kamen Rider transformation card mentioned by the professor had been distributed nationwide, Conan still felt that something might go wrong.

After all, based on Conan's own experience over the years, none of the popular inventions by Dr. Agasa have ever been reliable.

Of course, things like custom-made bow-tie voice changers, tracking glasses, watch-shaped tranquilizer guns, and detective badges are a different story.

and many more……

From this perspective, it seems that Professor Agasa is only talented at inventing things like this?

This seems like a rather unsafe sign!

……

Meanwhile, in Akemi Miyano's car.

Akemi Miyano glanced at Ai Haibara, who was silently watching the scenery outside the window in the back seat, through the rearview mirror, and suddenly asked with some concern, "Ai, is it really okay for you not to ride in the same car as your friends?"

For some reason, Akemi Miyano always felt that Ai Haibara seemed a little out of place with the other children.

Unlike the lively children, Ai Haibara, who was with them, seemed rather quiet and reserved.

This scene, when seen by Akemi Miyano, unconsciously reminded her of her younger sister, Shiho Miyano.

She always seemed to prefer being alone, appearing out of place with everyone around her.

Since their parents passed away, it seems that her younger sister has no one else to talk to but herself.

Because of the cautionary tale of her younger sister Shiho, she was somewhat worried about Ai Haibara's current situation.

She was afraid that she and her sister would end up in the same situation.

"Come to think of it..." Miyano Akemi thought to herself, then glanced at Haibara Ai in the rearview mirror again, "This little girl really looks like Shiho!"

"No, it's okay, Yami-neechan!"

Ai Haibara, who had been pretending to look at the scenery outside the window but was actually paying attention to her older sister, was overjoyed when her sister took the initiative to speak to her.

Seemingly sensing her sister's worry, she quickly feigned innocence and explained, "Because if I were in the doctor's car, it would be very crowded, and such a long journey would definitely be very uncomfortable!"

"Okay." Hearing Ai Haibara's words and realizing that what she said made sense, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but nod. However, she still couldn't help but remind her, "Ai, you must get along well with your friends!"

"Mmm!" Ai Haibara nodded obediently at her sister's words. "Don't worry..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Yuu Aragaki, who had been sitting in the passenger seat looking at online news, put away his phone.

He glanced at Ai Haibara with a smile before interrupting him, "Ayami-nee, you really need to talk to her about this. Ai is usually so cold and aloof, and she never really participates in the kids' activities!"

"!!!"

Ai Haibara: (?▼Profit▼)

Chapter 343 The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them cannot be hidden.

You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you.

Ai Haibara gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Yuu Aragaki, who had exposed her secrets.

If looks could be deadly, Aragaki Yu would probably have been torn to pieces by Haibara Ai right now.

Instead of showing any fear, Yu Aragaki took advantage of Ai Haibara's inattention and snapped a picture of her expression.

Another photo worth saving...

"!!!"

Ai Haibara was momentarily bewildered as she watched Yuu Aragaki begin admiring the photos he had just secretly taken of her. "What... is this man doing?"

It's unclear what Yuu Aragaki did on his phone, but he showed the screen to Akemi Miyano, who was driving.

After glancing at it, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but laugh, even giving Yuu Aragaki a reproachful look, before glancing at Ai Haibara through the rearview mirror.

However, the smile that she couldn't hide in her eyes made Ai Haibara suddenly realize that Yuu Aragaki must have done something good!

"hateful!"

When Ai Haibara noticed that Yuu Aragaki had hidden his phone in his own pocket and had no intention of showing it to her, she was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.

……

Fortunately, Ai Haibara didn't have much time to be angry.

Not long after, the two cars stopped in front of a villa in the woods.

When Ai Haibara got out of the car, her face was still visibly puffed out; she had originally intended to settle scores with Yuu Aragaki.

As a result, as soon as Ayumi got off the car, she ran to her side, took her arm, and started chattering away.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's relieved expression, Haibara Ai couldn't break free and had no choice but to let Aragaki Yu go for the time being.

Judging from its appearance, this villa is quite old. Although the exterior walls are not dilapidated, they are covered with vines, some of which have even climbed up the windows.

It's clear that this place hasn't been maintained for a long time.

"The woods, the villa... Hehe..." A smile involuntarily crept onto Yuu Aragaki's face at the sight of this classic scene.

"Wow, what a huge villa!" Ayumi, arm in arm with Ai Haibara, exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the magnificent villa in front of her.

Mitsuhiko looked at Professor Agasa with some suspicion, "Is this really Professor Agasa's private villa?"

In his memory, he had never heard Professor Agasa mention having such a wealthy relative.

"Yes, that's right!" Professor Agasa's expression turned somewhat nostalgic. He put his hands behind his back and introduced to the children, "My uncle's name is Agasa Kurisuke. He's a very wealthy man that everyone in this area knows!"

At this point, Dr. Agasa seemed to suddenly remember something and continued with great interest, "It is said that my uncle hid his vast fortune in a villa 50 years ago and then passed away."

"what!"

Upon hearing the professor's words, the three members of the Junior Detective League immediately became excited.

Seeing that the children were clearly captivated by his story, Professor Agasa smoothly revealed the purpose of the treasure hunt: "To be honest, I came here to borrow the wisdom of your Junior Detective League!"

"So, there really is treasure in this villa!" Genta clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming, and excitedly said to Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.

"So this treasure wasn't prepared in advance by the professor, making the search even more exciting!" Mitsuhiko's expression was also somewhat excited.

Ayumi also cheered excitedly, "I told you all before, didn't I? The Doctor wouldn't do such tricks to fool children, right, Doctor!"

After saying that, Ayumi looked at Professor Agasa with her innocent eyes.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing the children's discussion, Professor Agasa froze on the spot, awkwardly scratching his head.

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Professor Agasa stammered a reply to the children, "Heh, heh... Of course not..."

Seeing Professor Agasa's embarrassed look, Ai Haibara couldn't help but shrug and spread her hands, giving off a "hopeless" expression.

Conan's lips twitched as well, and he muttered to Yuu Aragaki and Akemi Miyano beside him, "Heh, these guys actually guessed it right..."

Seeing the amusing child, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

However, Yuu Aragaki didn't say anything. Instead, his gaze suddenly fell on a patch of grass not far from the villa.

Conan also noticed Aragaki Yu's actions. He followed Aragaki Yu's gaze but did not find anything suspicious.

"Brother Aragaki, what happened there?" Conan asked, frowning.

Just when Conan thought that Aragaki Yu had discovered something.
