Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

To be honest, she had never thought about love until she met Winnet, and judging from Winnet's behavior, it was easy to tell that she had no experience at all.

Being misunderstood is not a bad thing anyway. At least it saves me from the possibility of being harassed by others, she thought.

"Then I'll ask you directly. What was your state before you drank? Think carefully and describe the changes before and after as detailed as possible."

Conan nodded repeatedly. This was a matter of great importance as to whether he could be himself again.

"I had a cold at the time, and the high school detective Hattori Heiji from Osaka brought a bottle of wine called 'Bai Gan Er', and lied to me that it was a good medicine for colds, and poured me a glass. After I drank it, my cold not only did not get better, but it got worse rapidly. During the whole process, I felt as if I was put on a grill, and my body seemed to be melting. This lasted for a while, and suddenly I felt my heart beating violently as if it was about to explode - when I was about to lose consciousness, I found myself turning back into Kudo Shinichi."

Ai listened quietly to Kudo's story. She remembered that Winette said she saw the changes in Edogawa with her own eyes. She immediately gritted her teeth, frowned, and looked at Conan with a very strange expression.

"Is there any problem?" Conan was a little scared when he saw Ai's expression suddenly changed.

"She told me that she witnessed your transformation with her own eyes. Let me confirm, were you wearing clothes at the time, or were you naked? Were your clothes not bursting?"

Exaggerated scenes from the animation appeared in Ai's mind.

"Uh……"

Conan didn't know how to explain. He couldn't just tell Haibara that his clothes were taken off by Winnet, right?

"So, she saw your..."

"no!"

"Yeah……"

Xiao Ai didn't investigate it carefully. It didn't matter if it was force majeure. It was the same as visiting an art museum anyway, and the latter had more graceful shapes.

She had no interest in exploring art, but she should give Conan some advice.

"Aren't you going to ask me what my relationship with Winnet is? Then I'll tell you."

Conan pricked up his ears, perhaps this was another secret of the Black Organization that Huiyuan had hidden. To deal with this huge criminal group hidden in the dark, he had to peel off its veil layer by layer through various details.

"She's my ex-girlfriend."

"what?"

Conan's eyes turned into dotty eyes in an instant.

Did he hear it wrong? He must be a good friend! Alas, it seems that the sequelae of the cold are still quite serious. Even though I slept for nearly a day and a night, I still have some symptoms.

"Do you think you heard it wrong? It's okay, I'll say it again, she is my ex-girlfriend. Yes, we are the kind of relationship you think in your head."

Conan was shocked. His CPU was occupied too much and his brain went into a shutdown state for a short time.

After a struggle between himself and himself, he finally understood everything. No wonder Huibara knew Winnet's orientation clearly. It turned out that she was the same type! It seemed that everything was solved, including their quick relationship. It must have been from that time that Winnet felt that Huibara and Miyano Shiho were very similar! When Xiaolan first saw him, she must have felt that he was very similar to Shinichi when he was a child, so she was so kind to him.

"That is to say, she knows that you are..."

"Ah."

"Then you are..."

"The rekindled love is awesome."

"Eh!"

Conan was dumbfounded again.

Obviously his identity shouldn't be told to Xiaolan and the others, so why did you just tell them directly?

"Aren't you afraid of putting her in danger?" Conan asked back.

"You guy, think about who caused this trouble!" Ai pretended to be excited and pulled Conan's collar.

like……

He was the one who caused it.

Conan remained silent, and even an apology seemed pale at this moment.

"Instead of feeling guilty, you should think about how to hide your identity. Although I don't want to admit it, we are probably a 'community of shared destiny' now. If the organization finds out, you know what I'm doing, right?"

"know."

As Ai showed his true colors, Conan also raised his alert level in his heart. He continued to explain the feeling of physical changes and said that he would show the bottle to Ai after school.

"No need. After Winnet found out, she bought a bunch of the same ones and sent them to me. At the moment, it seems that it may not only be the effect of the wine, but it may also be related to the cold you have. The transformation time is only ten minutes, which means that the effect is very short. It may be the time it takes for some part of the body to eliminate the effects of the wine. I'm sorry, great detective, I guess it would be difficult to produce the same effect even if you drink another whole bottle."

"Why?" Conan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the future of his hope of changing back was uncertain.

"You'll know if you try it. It's a good opportunity for me to write a new experiment record."

"You think I'm a guinea pig?"

Xiao Ai nodded, not avoiding this conclusion.

Conan is a little embarrassed——

"At least be more tactful!"

Then he looked at Xiao Ai and said this.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I need to satisfy their curiosity properly, otherwise I'll need psychological counseling."

Xiao Ai walked towards the teaching building and out of the surveillance range of the trio.

In fact, she was approaching them along the side of the teaching building. Then, she suddenly jumped in front of the trio, put on a helpless and uninterested expression, and when the class bell rang on the loudspeaker, she asked:

"Do you have anything to ask?"

"Ah... I've been discovered."

Mitsuhiko took a step back in fear, while Ayumi hesitated as to whether to speak or not, and murmured:

"Xiao Ai, could it be that..."

Ai could already guess what she was about to say. Edogawa was really a sinner. She quickly denied it with a categorical "no". Then she walked towards the classroom and said calmly:

"He was trying to figure out how to apologize to me because he accidentally broke the gift I gave to Winette. I asked him to come out to tell him that I had forgiven him and to tell him not to look at me in that way that could lead to misunderstanding."

Ayumi did not doubt the lie that Xiao Ai made up on the spur of the moment, and her expression quickly changed from gloomy to bright. She also wanted to invite Xiao Ai to her home. Xiao Ai said that it would be better to stay at Dr. Agasa's house, where all the members of the Junior Detective Team could gather.

It was not until she returned to her seat that Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief. She had successfully spent the day without having to learn any necessary elementary school courses.

On the way home, the trio decided to go to the library to study and finish their homework. Conan was lost in thought, and after putting down her schoolbag, Ai also went to the Maori Detective Agency to gather. It was the closest place to the destination, so it became the gathering place.

As a result, she was the first to arrive.

Ai happened to meet Ran who was returning home downstairs, and naturally accepted her invitation. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Conan, like a spy sneaking behind enemy lines, stepping over Kogoro who was sleeping on the chair, stepping on the small stool, and preparing to take down the thick wine bottle on the top layer of the mahogany lacquer cabinet.

"Conan!"

When Xiaolan saw Conan stealing wine, she quickly took action and put the bottle of wine, which had not yet been warmed up, back into the closet.

It couldn't have come at a worse time.

It seems that she overestimated the children's ability to act and concentrate. She was the only one who packed her schoolbag and rushed over quickly. If she didn't want to see Conan's changes after drinking, she wouldn't have been so active. It was a bit like she was self-defeating.

"You dare to drink at such a young age? Be careful or you will become an alcoholic like your father!"

Conan glanced at Kogoro, who was drunk and unconscious, and laughed dryly. He naturally noticed Huibara following Xiaolan and winked at her.

Xiao Ai responded with a helpless expression.

"Ai, I'm here to see you. I didn't expect you to be so popular among girls!"

"Kojima-san said we should meet at Edogawa-san's house. I just came a little early."

Xiao Ai's words were full of meanings that had nothing to do with Conan. After being glared at by her cold eyes, Xiao Lan said with an embarrassed look that she would prepare some juice.

Conan stood there, surprised that Huiyuan's killing power was the same for everyone. But his eyes were still fixed on the white wine bottle——

"Forget it. There's still a chance tonight."

While Xiaolan went into the kitchen, Xiaoai opened her schoolbag, and inside was white liquor that was exactly the same as the packaging in the cabinet. Conan was shocked when he saw it, and immediately reacted and took the cup.

Xiao Ai poured him a cup.

"You can't drink too much, right? Wait, we still have to go to the library, don't make a fool of yourself."

"——Uh, I don't think it's enough to drink one cup."

After all, Conan had never drunk alcohol before, so he wasn't very sure.

He swallowed and drank the entire glass of wine.

"How do you feel now, Kudo?"

"My throat is burning."

"I'm not asking a question that even a mouse can answer." Xiao Ai put away the bottle of wine, "Do you have any other feelings?"

"--I feel a little dizzy...why is it not working!" Conan wailed.

The taste and packaging are exactly the same as the wine in the cabinet, and the effect should be the same. Is there something special about that bottle of wine? Conan's evasive mentality makes him think that he must not have drunk enough.

Conan smiled bitterly and said:

"Maybe the amount is not enough. You also said that tolerance might develop. I think I must drink more than last time. I will try again after I get home today."

"Maybe it has something to do with your flu virus."

Xiao Ai gave a vague reminder.

However, Conan was still intoxicated with himself and didn't listen to her at all, sticking to his original idea.

"Conan!"

"Looks like they're coming."

Ai walked down the stairs and saw the lively Teitan Big Three coming up to her. Conan, who was behind her, greeted her awkwardly. Due to his illness a few days ago, he became the focus of attention.

"Ai, why are you still carrying your schoolbag?" Ayumi asked.

"I plan to take notes while I'm reading."

It was impossible for her to really enjoy reading children's books. If it was a world-famous fairy tale, she could accept it, so she planned to directly pick a book she had read before as a model and write directly. She had to continue the experiment at night and had to ask Dr. Agasa to help her get some guinea pigs.

With the information, it is not difficult to replicate APTX4869. Before researching the antidote, she needs a sufficient number of experimental subjects to improve the drug, and then develop an antidote from the successful experimental subjects.

……

Yūka-cho Library.

Facing the Teitan trio who were all smiling as they read picture books, Conan was struggling with a children's book in each hand in front of the bookshelf:

Seriously, every book here is so boring!

He glanced at Huiyuan and found that she was also reading those books with great interest, and sighed in frustration. Just when he was about to pick up a book at random, he found a cardboard box in the wooden cabinet next to him.

He picked up a book and felt very strange:

How do you put foreign original books in the children's books and newspapers section?

……

299 Play

Not only was the position strange, but a closer look revealed that the book was placed upside down in the cover, but the plastic cover was still there, so he didn't open it to check.

Before the book could even warm up in my hands, it was taken away by a big hand.

"what are you doing?"

Conan turned around and saw the kind-looking Director Jinchuan.

"These are not books for you little kids!"

"sorry."

Conan apologized and put the book back to its place, returned to his seat, and whispered to Ai:

"Why are you watching with as much interest as they are?"

“I think it’s quite interesting.”

Ai shook the book in her hand. The cover was labeled The Nightingale and the Rose. Although it was in the form of a picture book, it was a famous fairy tale by Oscar Wilde. Conan looked at Ai with a half-dazed expression. He had read these many times when he was in elementary school.

Even though I am still a primary school student now.

It is estimated that Huiyuan has no chance to read children's picture books while staying in that organization. He felt that the other party was quite unlucky, so he randomly picked a picture book fairy tale that was recently published in the past two years. Before he could open the page, he heard the sound of police lights.

Genta Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were already lying in front of the window, and Ayumi did not forget to greet Conan and Ai.
