Soon, Aragaki Yu arrived at the department store that Professor Agasa had mentioned on the phone by taxi.

At the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot, Yuu Aragaki noticed the police cordon that had been deliberately set up by the police.

At the entrance, several police cars flashed their lights, alternating between red and blue. Uniformed police officers stood around, their expressions serious, maintaining order and preventing unauthorized personnel from approaching.

Fortunately, the police officer at the parking lot entrance was an old acquaintance of Aragaki Yu.

"Young Master Aragaki!" Officer Chiba looked at Aragaki Yuu, who was walking towards him, with some surprise. "Did Inspector Megure send you?"

The reason he asked this question was because he clearly remembered that Inspector Megure had been muttering to himself in the car earlier, hoping that Aragaki would also be there.

After all, nobody wants to work overtime on the weekend!

"What a coincidence, Officer Chiba." Yuu Aragaki walked up to Officer Chiba and greeted him with a smile.

"Actually, it's because Ai isn't feeling well, but it seems that because of an incident that happened here, she and Professor Agasa have been locked up in the underground parking garage, so I came to check on her."

"Ai, Professor Agasa?" Officer Chiba was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He was naturally familiar with these two people who frequently appeared in various cases.

Seeing the slightly worried expression on Aragaki Yu's face, Officer Chiba didn't hesitate much. "In that case, I'll go with you to pick them up. After all, it's more important to take the child to see a doctor first."

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Under Inspector Chiba's arrangement, Yuya Aragaki rode in a patrol car into the blocked parking lot and found Professor Agasa's Beetle in a corner of the parking lot.

However, the four Porsches parked near Professor Agasa's Beetle also caught Yuu Aragaki's eye.

After all, this type of car is not very common in Japan, and it is even rarer to see four of them parked together at the same time.

After finding Professor Agasa's car, Yuu Aragaki quickly found Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara lying in the back seat, looking somewhat dazed.

"Aragaki, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Yuu Aragaki suddenly appear beside him, Professor Agasa seemed somewhat excited and hurriedly got out of the back seat.

"What happened to Ai?" Yuu Aragaki nodded to Professor Agasa, then bent down and reached into the back seat of the car to lift Ai Haibara out of the car, asking as he did so.

"It's probably because I caught a cold a few days ago and didn't get enough rest that I suddenly developed a fever this morning," Dr. Agasa said with a worried expression.

As soon as he held Ai Haibara in his arms, Yuu Aragaki felt the warmth emanating from her body.

Her face was burning red, like a ripe tomato about to bleed.

His eyes were half-open, his gaze unfocused and vacant, his body seemed limp, and his head drooped listlessly.

He kept making indistinct murmurs, his voice weak and broken, making it impossible to understand what he was saying.

However, I don't know why.

Ai Haibara, who had initially appeared extremely distressed, suddenly became much calmer the moment Yu Aragaki lifted her from the back seat.

Chapter 612 A Date? Ms. Judy and Dr. Araide?

"Where's Conan?"

As Yuu Aragaki took off his coat and wrapped it around Ai Haibara's trembling body, he looked at Professor Agasa.

"Conan, he..."

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "I think he probably went off somewhere to play... Hahaha..."

After saying that, Dr. Agasa chuckled awkwardly twice.

There was no way he could say that Conan went to solve the case so that the police could lift the lockdown on the underground parking garage as soon as possible.

After all, in Aragaki Yu's eyes, Conan is just an elementary school student, and saying that would definitely arouse his suspicion.

"I see." Aragaki Yu nodded, without asking any further questions.

Anyway, he was just asking casually. If a murder occurred, wouldn't he know what Conan would do?

Dr. Agasa secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Aragaki Yu didn't press the matter.

"Doctor, little brother Aragaki, get in the car!"

At the same time, Officer Chiba in the patrol car also urged them on.

Firstly, he wanted to get the child to the hospital as soon as possible; secondly, it would be bad if Inspector Megure found out that he had abandoned his post.

"Thank you so much, Officer Chiba!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa hurriedly ran to the patrol car and helped Yuu Aragaki open the back door. After Yuu Aragaki carried Ai into the back seat, Professor Agasa followed suit and climbed in.

After confirming that Aragaki Yu and Professor Agasa were seated securely, Officer Chiba quickly drove the patrol car out of the underground parking lot.

The entrance and exit of the underground parking lot.

Because Officer Chiba is not yet able to leave the crime scene.

Therefore, after getting off the bus at the entrance, Yuu Aragaki and Professor Agasa planned to walk Ai Haibara to the clinic near the mall.

Anyway, it's not far, and it's not a long walk.

However, just as Aragaki Yu was carrying Haibara Ai and Professor Agasa across the plaza in front of the shopping mall.

Suddenly, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of Aragaki Yu's heart.

He instinctively stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing slightly, the feeling growing stronger.

Aragaki Yu subtly tilted his head to look around, because he sensed a familiar gaze fixed firmly on him.

Just as the Snow Maiden flew out of the Yin-Yang Domain, a familiar voice came from afar.

"Isn't this Aragaki-san and Professor Agasa? Hello!"

The group looked over at the sound and saw Dr. Shinichi and Ms. Judy walking toward them together.

Because of the bus incident, the group was not strangers to each other.

"It's Dr. Araide and Ms. Jodie!" Dr. Agasa seemed a little surprised to see Dr. Araide and Ms. Jodie, but his expression quickly turned to one of delight.

Because of Ai's illness, Conan had previously tried to contact Dr. Araide, but the call didn't go through.

I never expected to run into you here.

"But, are Dr. Araide and Ms. Jodie really not dating?" Dr. Agasa tilted his head and thought to himself with a hint of gossip as he watched Dr. Araide and Ms. Jodie walking together.

It's worth noting that the two of them appeared together during the last bus incident.

That's very suspicious!

"Good afternoon," Yuu Aragaki greeted Judy and Dr. Araide with a nod.

However, his gaze paused slightly when it passed over Dr. Shinichi.

"It's that wicked woman!" At the same time, Yuki-onna, sitting on Aragaki Yu's shoulders, reminded him.

Of course, Yuu Aragaki understood what kind of bad woman Yuki-onna was referring to.

It's simply Vermouth replacing the newly appointed doctor.

Vermouth, who had been staring at Yu Aragaki, naturally noticed the subtle change in Yu Aragaki's expression when he saw her.

Her heart skipped a beat when she realized that the other party had noticed her identity.

hateful!

I don't know why, but my disguise skills are completely useless in front of this guy.

However, there were other people around, not only Professor Agasa, but also his English teacher who kept "enthusiastically" pestering him.

Vermouth naturally intends to continue playing the role of the newly introduced doctor.

"What's wrong with this child?"

The next second, Vermouth also turned her gaze to the little girl in Aragaki Yu's arms.

—Ai Haibara.

With just one glance, Vermouth recognized her.

Beneath Dr. Araide's face, Vermouth's lips also curled slightly upwards.

"Ai seems to have a fever!" Before Aragaki Yu could speak, Professor Agasa anxiously interjected, "Conan contacted you this morning, but for some reason he couldn't get through to you."

"what!?"

Vermouth was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then she took out her phone from her pocket and looked at it with a puzzled expression.

Then, as if he had just realized something, he apologized to Professor Agasa, "I'm so sorry, because I was on vacation today, I didn't even notice that my phone was out of battery."

Vermouth's performance was so convincing.

However, Yuu Aragaki knew that the reason Vermouth didn't answer the phone was either because she was with Gin and Vodka, or because she was entangled with Jodie.

"Can I see this child?"

The next second, Vermouth quickly looked at Aragaki Yuu and changed the subject.

Despite this, Yuu Aragaki did not reject her simply because she was Vermouth.

After all, he knew in his heart that Vermouth had probably already realized Ai Haibara's true identity by this time.

The reason she hasn't made a move against Ai Haibara yet is probably because of herself and Conan.
