The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Just as Conan was looking around the ward, he noticed Ran sleeping soundly by the bedside, with a suit jacket draped over her back.

And this coat looks...

It seems to belong to Uncle Mori.

You should thank her properly!

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's voice suddenly came from outside the ward door.

Conan turned around and saw Kogoro Mouri yawning as he walked into the ward.

He tiptoed up behind Xiaolan, straightened the clothes covering her, and said, "She took care of you here all night, and only just closed her eyes. If it weren't for Aragaki Yu donating blood first, she would have given you her own blood."

As Conan looked at the IV catheter on the inside of his wrist, Kogoro Mouri continued, "You little brat, you're lucky. It's fortunate that Ran and Yuu Aragaki have the same blood type as you. If you had a rare blood type, the hospital wouldn't have enough blood, and you might not have survived this time!"

Although Kogoro Mouri said that, Conan could tell from the dark circles under his eyes that Uncle Mouri had obviously been worried about him all night.

……

"Doctor, please use my blood! This child has the same blood type as me."

Conan suddenly recalled the scene he had witnessed while he was in a daze.

Looking at Ran's sleeping profile, Conan, lying in the hospital bed, felt extremely conflicted.

He knew that none of this was a coincidence.

"Xiao Lan's tone was very certain at the time. She knew her blood type very well, as well as my identity..."

Just as Conan was lowering his head, Kogoro Mouri suddenly flicked his finger and hit Conan on the head.

"Whoa!" Conan looked up in surprise, only to notice Kogoro Mouri glaring at him fiercely, saying, "You brat, with so many people going to great lengths to care about you, if you don't get better soon, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Hmm~"

Conan nodded, feeling embarrassed.

……

Ten days later.

Conan's condition has finally stabilized, and even the wound on his abdomen has healed.

During this time, many acquaintances came to visit Conan to check on his condition.

Besides Ran and Kogoro Mouri, who come to the hospital every day without fail, Sonoko, Professor Agasa, and the Detective Boys also become regulars at the hospital.

Even Akemi Miyano came to the hospital twice with Yuu Aragaki, but unfortunately she never met Ai Haibara.

Other familiar faces from the police force, such as Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi, also came to visit Conan.

After hearing that Conan had been shot, Heiji Hattori rushed to Kazuha's house in the middle of the night without any regard for the consequences. He pulled Kazuha away amidst the shocked expressions of her parents, and then rode his motorcycle to take her to the hospital overnight.

……

However, after Hattori and Kazuha visited him at the hospital...

After talking with Hattori, Conan silently made up his mind.

If a stand-in cannot be found to replace "Shinichi Kudo" on stage.

So, all I could do was tell Ran everything, including how I was ambushed and knocked unconscious while tracking the men in black during a transaction, and how I was poisoned and shrunk into "Conan".

Deep down, he already believed that Xiaolan knew everything, but was just waiting for him to confess to her.

……

That means she's waiting; she's waiting for you to explain the whole story to her in person.

Late at night, Conan lay in his hospital bed, his hands behind his head, thinking about what Heiji Hattori had said during the day.

After a long silence, he gave a helpless, bitter laugh. "Heh, it seems I have no choice but to speak..."

Kara~

Suddenly, Conan noticed the sound of a gun being pulled back in the ward.

"what!"

Conan was startled, his whole body trembled, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

In the darkness, a small figure was slowly walking towards them.

Conan: "!!!"

As the figure drew closer, Conan finally made out who it was, thanks to the dim moonlight streaming through the window.

She is Ai Haibara!

What made Conan's eyes widen and his pupils shrink was that Ai Haibara was holding a pistol and aiming it at him expressionlessly.

The black muzzle of the gun emitted a chilling, bone-chilling glint.

"Haibara... Haibara!?"

Haibara actually pointed a gun at me!

Conan finally realized the situation he was in.

Seeing Conan's terrified expression, Ai Haibara also put one leg on the hospital bed and pressed the gun firmly against Conan's forehead.

Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh. "Hmph, I'm sorry to say, but it seems that my body, like theirs, flows with cruel black blood!"

"What!?"

Conan stared incredulously at Ai Haibara, who had suddenly turned cold.

"Oh, don't you understand yet?" Ai Haibara's smile was unusually strange. "My true identity has been exposed, that is, those men in black you mentioned."

Conan: "!!!"

Ai Haibara narrowed her eyes and explained slowly, "You should know very well that it was at the Beika Municipal Hotel. I never dreamed that, besides Pisco, there would be members of another organization present at that time!"

(Vermouth: "Heh, you're absolutely right!")

"Actually, it was because of what he said that the organization began to suspect that I might have been shrunk by the drugs."

Conan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Ai Haibara's smile grew increasingly cold. "Moreover, the organization found my place today. I thought they would kill me to silence me, but they said that as long as I agree to help the organization continue developing drugs, this betrayal can be considered as if it never happened."

When she said this, Ai Haibara's expression seemed to become a little conflicted. "The condition is that the research on APTX, which has been stalled since I left the organization, must be restarted as soon as possible."

"So, you've come to kill me, the thorn in your side who knows about the organization!" Despite being incredibly nervous inside, Conan tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face.

However, he was unaware that his slightly trembling fingers had already completely exposed his inner panic.

Chapter 478, you better delete it right now!

"Correct."

Ai Haibara said without changing her expression, "This is also one of the conditions they put forward for being willing to accept me back."

"Of course, your parents and that teenage detective from Osaka will also disappear from the world tomorrow. I'm really sorry, Professor Agasa has been taken hostage by them, and with my current status, rescuing her is already a huge challenge."

"However, you should still thank me, because you won't have to witness the horrific deaths of your parents and friends. Because you'll go to hell before them!"

After saying that, Ai Haibara pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Conan: "Ah!!!"

The next second, accompanied by a soft explosion, a bouquet of flowers popped out of the muzzle of the pistol.

"A magic... magic pistol!?" Conan's face twitched involuntarily, terrified.

Damn it, Haibara... that guy!

Why would you do something like this to scare yourself so late at night!

"What if that happens?"

At this moment, Ai Haibara finally put away the sinister expression on her face and smiled as she plucked the flower from the muzzle of the gun.

"Whoo~"

Conan, finally regaining his senses, let out a long sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at Ai Haibara.

At the same time, he subconsciously touched the bed sheet beneath him.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened.

"If there were other members of the organization at that meeting, or if they had found my hiding place and taken Professor Agasa hostage, I would have taken the same action I did back then!" Ai Haibara said as she turned and placed the flowers in her hand into an empty glass on the bedside table next to her hospital bed.

Conan watched Ai Haibara's retreating figure, his lips twitching. He could tell that Haibara wasn't joking.

Then, Ai Haibara suddenly changed the subject, "But if that day really comes, they should eliminate me and everyone else connected to me, leaving no survivors."

"Hey!" Only now did Conan realize that Ai Haibara probably wanted to say something to him. "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Hmph, I'm here to give you a piece of my mind," Ai Haibara snorted.

"You've come to give me this advice?" Conan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s right.” Ai Haibara turned around and stared at Conan, saying each word clearly, “If you are driven by your emotions and actually reveal the organization’s affairs to her, then she will definitely be the target that the organization will try its best to eliminate.”

"Uh..." Conan paused for a moment, then his face turned pale. "The 'she' you're talking about, you mean Ran?"
