Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"However, I thought he was a rather dull person. It is surprising that he is willing to participate in a drama," she said.

"That's right, you can't tell from the outside, but he's a really great actor! Winnet, you must come and watch him and Xiaolan fall in love!"

"Yuanzi..." Xiaolan stopped her.

"You'll be fine as long as you don't let so many guests get you drunk."

"It's okay. The air conditioning in that stadium is broken. It's like taking a sauna during the performance. I heard that the attendance of guests was very bad last year."

Xiaolan waved her hand.

Conan, who was playing video games, had dead eyes.

Winette also felt that Sonoko did it on purpose. Moreover, Sonoko had already prepared a countermeasure: the drama society sold a lot of delicious cold drinks in the gymnasium. This was not good news for her. The more people watched, the greater the possibility of Kudo Shinichi's appearance. However, big is relative. At present, photo blogs and vlogs are not popular yet, and the channels for spreading information are limited. No one should be so bold as to post Kudo Shinichi's photos in the online chat room.

Because they came to visit after school, the three children stayed with Conan for a while. Xiaolan and Sonoko said that the visiting time was over and it was getting late, and the children had to go home for dinner. Winnet, a social person, was not restricted. She followed the two to the ward. On the way, she heard someone arguing in the ward, which happened to be from Conan's room.

"What on earth are you thinking about? Why are you here buying lilies?"

"Are you annoying? It's just buying flowers. It doesn't matter what you buy."

Winnet had heard it.

They are Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

"Come on, the flower language of lily is beheading, which is a very bad omen! Who would buy lilies when visiting a patient?"

"Then why didn't you make it clear from the beginning, idiot!"

When they walked to the door, they happened to see them arguing face to face, which was normal, just like ordinary couples strengthening their relationship.

Winnet still remembered the last time she was misunderstood. They were all jealous people with a wide top and a narrow bottom - they would fall over at the slightest touch.

"It's Hattori and Kazuha, why are you here?"

Hattori Heiji bent down to the height of Conan, holding the bouquet horizontally, "I heard that this kid was seriously injured, so after school, I took a plane and rushed over."

"How is he now?" He Ye asked.

Xiaolan had met with the doctor before, and she said that Conan was in good condition and would be discharged in two or three days. However, his resistance would be reduced after the operation, so he now had some cold symptoms.

Reduced resistance...

Winnet suddenly thought of the time when Baigan Liquor made him transform. He was also suffering from a severe cold, and his immunity was reduced. However, according to Xiao Ai, it would be difficult to succeed the second time. Moreover, in his current physical condition, if he became bigger, he might tear the wound as well. She only had full application in practical fields, but she was very good at medical theory, and only knew some knowledge of toxicology and trauma.

"Really? That's great."

Hattori said in a commanding manner, "In that case, go buy a nicer bouquet of flowers."

"What are you showing off for..." He Ye complained.

He looked at Xiaolan and Sonoko again, "He Ye is a woman with a poor sense of direction. Please lead the way."

"it is good."

They left the room and asked Miss Winette if she wanted to go with them. Miss Winette said she had eye problems and decided to wait for them in the hospital.

After watching them walk away, Winette opened the door again and saw Conan and Hattori who were trembling with fear.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Conan asked her.

“I am a disabled person with limited mobility.”

Conan showed his usual expression of twitching mouth, as if complaining: Only at this time do you remember your settings. After he woke up, he specifically asked about the case, and it turned out that the criminals had a more miserable end than one another. He glanced away. From Winnet's appearance, he would never imagine that she had such a brutal skill. The last time the bandaged monster showed was just the tip of the iceberg. There was also the feat of breaking the water pipe with his fist, but these were nothing compared to this incident. In a small space with limited space, subduing three gangsters with guns is something that can only be accomplished with sufficient fighting experience - just possible.

But not only was she not hurt at all, she injured all three of them to the point where they were unable to move.

This means that she can handle them with ease and can even manipulate them without endangering their lives.

This made his guess even more certain: Winnett was related to the Black Organization.

However, judging from the current situation, she and Huibara are on the same side, and Huibara can be considered as his companion - the kind who is unwilling to cooperate. In this way, she can also be considered as one of his companions. He thought that perhaps following her could get some information about the Black Organization, but this might be a bad move; if she knew, she would not cooperate, and if she didn't know, she would be regarded as a spy. In any case, this is using a living person as a chess piece to test the waters.

Since she already knew his true identity and he was lying well in the hospital bed, it meant that she would not collude with the Black Organization to deal with her.

Therefore, there is no need to treat her as an outsider.

In fact, she would be more cooperative than Haibara because her personality is not as troublesome as Haibara's.

"Kudo, is everything okay?" Hattori asked.

"Yes." He said, "Not only does she know my identity, she is also Huiyuan's girlfriend. Just tell her what you want to say. You don't have to hide it from her."

"What are you talking about? I just came to see you out of kindness!" Hattori said with a smile, "Don't be so cold!"

"Don't be ridiculous. You would find an excuse to ask her to buy new flowers and then send her away. What on earth is this for?"

"You finally figured it out!" Hattori smiled happily.

Miss Winnett felt out of place. How come the relationship between these two people suddenly became so good? They had only known each other for a short time, but they had already exchanged a series of hot-blooded comic punches so quickly, and turned from competitors into believers who supported each other?

Hattori continued, "To be honest, I received a call from Dr. Agasa last night. He asked me to come here to discuss something with you."

"discuss?"

"Although I don't know the details... Kudo, I heard that you--"

He put on a serious expression.

However, seriousness only lasts three seconds.

He suddenly approached Conan with a gloating look on his face, "I heard that your identity is about to be discovered by that girl Xiaolan, right?"

"Ah, indeed." He couldn't think of so many loopholes at once.

"Really?" Hattori still didn't believe it. "Maybe you think that way because you are always worried that you will be found out."

"No, she's not about to find out," Winette interrupted, "she's already found out. That time at the Municipal Center, she learned that you and Kudo Shinichi have the same birthday. Last time you risked your life to save her, and according to her, you later confessed your love to her - using the same words her father used to his mother. And this time, your blood type is exactly the same as hers - and Kudo Shinichi. In addition, there are many other details."

"Just like she said, there are many details that indicate Xiaolan already knew about it." Conan sighed, "It seems that if I don't have a substitute, I'm afraid I can't keep this lie going. Maybe, like you said, Miss Winnet, she is waiting for me to tell her."

Hattori scratched his head and sighed. He saw through Conan. Although he saw through others, he was completely helpless when it came to himself. He said, "Remove the 'maybe'. Since she knows everything so clearly, she is just waiting for you to speak. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to tell her everything about that organization and the drug that made your body smaller?"

Conan crossed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling, a melancholy look on his face.

"Please, how can I say this to her, she is such a good person who can't bear to see others suffer and cries about other people's affairs as if they were her own?" He murmured, "But then again, seeing how she is pushing herself so hard, I really don't have the confidence to continue lying. I also want to talk things out as soon as possible, so that I can feel relieved. If it were you, what do you think is the right thing to do?"

Hattori couldn't answer.

"'Right' itself is a wrong idea." Winnett said, "It shouldn't be 'what to do is right', but what you want to do. It's a silent love or a vigorous love, that's the only difference. The reason you are hesitant is because you don't have the confidence to protect her. You actively chose darkness and danger. If you give up tracking down that organization, give up being Kudo Shinichi, and tell her the truth, she won't mind waiting for you for ten years."

……

477 The Third Option

Having said this, she left the room.

After a while, He Ye and the others who went to buy flowers also came back.

After a few words, the sky darkened. Hattori and Kazuha had to catch a flight back to Osaka, so they left first.

The three of them did not stay overnight in the hospital. They said hello to Conan and started their journey back.

As the night deepened, the hospital was shrouded in darkness. The nurses on duty patrolled the corridors with flashlights in hand to prevent any patients from having any emergencies.

On the bed in the ward, Conan tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.

Winnett's words during the day were still echoing in his head. In addition, there were Dr. Agasa's warning, Huibara's warning, and Hattori's words, which connected into a hazy night. In his mind, the imaginary streets of London and his figure looking at Xiaolan changed back and forth unsteadily, but in the end, this form stayed on Kudo Shinichi.

Xiaolan was looking at him.

"It seems that I have no choice but to say it..." Conan accepted his fate a little and decided to be more cautious in the future, even as Winette said. However, as long as he exists as Kudo Shinichi, the organization will never let him go.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of friction was heard.

He looked up.

It’s Huibara.

The pitch-black muzzle was pointed at his head. In the silent moonlit night, the light of the bullet seemed to be transmitted from the inside to the muzzle.

"Haibara." He couldn't move.

"I'm so sorry, it seems that I am a part of the cruel darkness after all, and cruel black blood flows in my body."

"what?"

He asked. He remembered the toy gun incident clearly, but there was no flaw in Huiyuan's expression, and there was no trace of a joke.

Xiao Ai said in a sarcastic tone:

"Don't you understand? My identity has been exposed to them, those people in black you mentioned. You should know clearly that it was the time at the Beihu City Hotel."

"Although the mysterious man blocked Pisco's mouth, there was another person besides Pisco at the scene. After listening to him, the organization began to suspect that I had become smaller for some reason. Just this morning, they found me."

"I originally thought they would kill me to silence me, but they told me that as long as I was willing to return to the organization, this betrayal would be treated as if it had never happened, and they would also let Winnet, who secretly assisted me, go. The condition was that I had to start the APTX research, which had been stagnant since I left the organization, as soon as possible."

"So, you are here to get rid of me, the thorn in your side who knows about the existence of the organization?"

"Yes, this is also one of the conditions they proposed to accept me again. Of course, even your parents, the detective boy in Osaka will disappear tomorrow." Xiao Ai smiled and tilted her head, "I'm sorry. I think you should have guessed that Winette is related to the organization. With my current situation, in order to prevent her from being punished and to let Dr. Agasa live a few more years, I am already stretched to the limit. However, you should still thank me, you don't have to see the miserable state of your parents and friends before they die - because you will go to hell before them."

Conan didn't move. His current physical condition didn't allow him to dodge. He just watched until she pulled the trigger.

Cardiac arrest.

A cluster of broken-rooted daffodils burst out from the muzzle of the gun.

The Christian Easter flower symbolizes rebirth and hope.

Conan was terrified.

Xiao sighed, "What are you going to do if that's the case?"

She stuffed the flowers into the water cup beside her. "If that happens, I will take the same action as before. However, if that day really comes, they will just wipe me out and all the people related to me, leaving no one alive," she said.

He thought of this possibility the moment she fired the gun, but he still couldn't stay calm.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I'm here to advise you," she said. "If you really tell her about the organization, then she will definitely be one of the targets that the organization will try to eliminate. She is different from people like me. She has a family and stable relationships. She can't embark on the road of escape."

"You mean Xiaolan..."

"Yes. She has most likely guessed your identity, and you must have realized that you can no longer hide it this time. All you can do is tell her everything... In this way, you will be free."

relief……

This word shocked him. Maybe he didn't confess everything for Xiaolan's sake, but it was really hard to keep it secret. He began to think seriously and re-evaluate his courage.

"You guessed I was going to..."

"What's so surprising about that? Anyone who comes to visit you can tell it all at a glance as long as they see your face. I'm sure the girl knows it too. She must be thinking, 'He'll tell me soon.'"

"But I..."

"You only have three choices now."

"What do you think."

"The first is to continue to hide it from her like we are doing now." Xiao Aiping raised her right hand, then her index finger and then her middle finger. "The second is to not care about the organization knowing your true identity at all and tell her the whole truth. As for the third option——"

She pulled a mini pill bottle from her pocket.

"What is this?" he asked.

Xiao Ai's eyes narrowed.

"It's a temporary antidote to ATPX." She lifted the bottle, her expression seemed to say that even if Conan chose this method, he would be back to square one in no time. "I made it based on the ingredients of Baigan and the information of ATPX. After consuming a large number of experimental animals, a total of four of them degenerated to a young state. Three of them died from the various antidotes I developed. This is the only successful one. The experimental subject recovered in just three days. However, the effect on humans is still unknown. For the sake of conservatism, I reduced the dosage, which also means that its lasting effect is only one day or even shorter. Moreover, repeated use will inevitably lead to resistance. Once it accumulates too much, it may never return to its original state."

Conan is not a fool, so he naturally understood what she meant, which was that he personally became Kudo Shinichi and appeared in front of Xiaolan to divert her attention away from Conan. As for Conan, he looked at Xiaoai.

She saw his choice, "Then I will disguise myself as you, with your voice-changing bow. It will be very simple."

"Ah, thanks."

This is indeed the best way, he thought. Xiaolan had only recently become suspicious. After the last Skobing incident, for a while, she really treated him like a child. However, the flaw was Kaito Kidd, the thief who could disguise himself as anyone, so it was normal for Xiaolan to have some doubts - the fake Kudo Shinichi was too frivolous and came and went in a hurry.

478 True and False Black Knight 1

On the day of Teitan High School's school festival.

Conan arrived at the door in Kogoro Mouri's car.
