Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Professor, Conan, Ran, come help!"

At Professor Agasa's house, Hikaru Hoshino carried the unconscious girl back through the secret passage, calling out in a solemn tone.

"What's wrong, Hikaru... Hey? Hikaru, what's with that girl you're hugging?"

Professor Agasa walked out of the room yawning, but the scene before him instantly banished any sleepiness.

"She has a fever right now, but come and help her out!"

Hikaru Hoshino quickly placed the girl on the sofa, his tone grave.

"What happened?"

Conan and Ran walked out of another room together, both of them somewhat puzzled by what they saw.

"Did you find this girl outside, Hoshino-kun? Why didn't you take her to the hospital or notify the police?"

Xiao Lan muttered to herself as she quickly stepped forward, touched the girl's forehead, her expression changed slightly, and then looked at the girl's clothes that were soaked by the rain. She quickly took action and helped the girl change out of her wet clothes.

"Hoshino, could she be...?"

When Ran helped the girl change her clothes and wipe away her sweat, Conan's gaze fell on the girl's obviously ill-fitting clothes. He quickly realized something and his expression changed drastically.

"We'll talk about it later!"

Hikaru Hoshino nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging Conan's guess.

Soon, with Xiaolan's help, the girl changed into clean clothes, was given medication, and had her body wiped clean before being placed on the bed to rest. The other four people sat together on the sofa in the living room.

"That girl is Miyano Akemi's younger sister, Sherry, the codenamed member of the Black Organization, right? And she's someone who, like me, shrunk because of drugs."

Conan broke the silence by speaking first, his hands unconsciously clenching together.

"Huh? She's from that organization?"

Xiao Lan was startled and looked at the unconscious girl in disbelief.

"Is that so?"

Dr. Agasa's eyes widened instantly, and he was somewhat incredulous for a moment.

"That's right, it's Sherry, Shiho Miyano."

Hikaru Hoshino nodded and briefly explained how he discovered Shiho Miyano. Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The name Shiho Miyano is familiar to everyone. After the operation, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo quickly left, taking a plane overnight and leaving the Japanese islands. After landing, they quickly went to a safe place and contacted Conan by phone to review the entire operation.

Afterwards, Conan, along with Hoshino Hikaru, Ran, and Professor Agasa, reconstructed the entire battle: the first battlefield was the "Zero" team against the three codenamed members of the Black Organization—Ireland, Bourbon, and Scotland—and twelve other members; the second battlefield was Gin and his group, as well as the actions of "Silver Bullet" Shuichi Akai.

In order to gain Yusaku Kudo's trust and ask him to act as a go-between for cooperation with the "Zero" team, Shuichi Akai revealed a lot of information. As a result, Yusaku Kudo knew that Shuichi Akai was trying to save the Miyano sisters, Akemi and Shiho, and also found out that Shiho was suspected of researching some kind of drug.

Yusaku Kudo speculates that Shiho Miyano, codenamed Sherry, is likely related to the research on APTX-4869, or even to the developer herself, and tells Conan to be wary of an 18-year-old brown-haired girl from the Black Organization.

Conan had just told Hikaru Hoshino, Ran, and Dr. Agasa about this not long ago, but unexpectedly, only a few hours later, Shiho Miyano appeared at Dr. Agasa's house, and in the form of a child just like him.

"Although she is a codenamed member of the organization, according to the information provided by Dad, she and her sister were forced into it. They have no good feelings towards the organization and have been trying to find a way to escape. After she wakes up, maybe... we can talk."

Conan remained silent for a long time before meeting the gazes of the other three and speaking first. He suppressed his emotions and spoke, because it concerned the drug, and he had to express his opinion first. Although he had no liking for the "culprit" who made the drug, he still remained rational.

"Shinichi."

Ran slowly sat down next to Conan, gently placed her hand on his shoulder, and softly comforted him.

As her childhood friend of many years, she could sense that Shinichi was not at peace. He was somewhat angry when he saw the culprit who had shrunk him and created the drug, even though he knew that the girl in front of him was also a victim in a sense.

"I'm fine, Xiaolan."

Conan nodded slightly, feeling much more relaxed.

"I thought you'd consider her a cold-blooded scientist who creates harmful drugs!"

Hikaru Hoshino looked at Conan and spoke with a complicated expression.

Hikaru Hoshino clearly remembers that when Conan first met Ai Haibara in the original work, he expressed complete distrust towards her, believing that she belonged to that organization and was an executioner who made murderous drugs and killed many people. He only gradually accepted her as a companion later.

"If it were before, I might have thought that way, but now, I think she's probably also a victim who had no choice in the situation."

Conan spoke with a complicated expression, a white light flashing in his eyes, as if recalling the moment Asami died.

……

Meanwhile, the Black Organization, after searching for a long time without finding Sherry, was forced to abandon their search in Ireland, as Sherry could not be found.

This matter quickly reached the Boss's side.

In the basement of a private villa in the suburbs of Tottori Prefecture, an elderly man with gray hair, wearing a black coat, leaned back in his chair, quietly looking at the three reports in front of him.

The first document, submitted by Pisco, details the entire operation in Ireland, Bourbon, and Scotland, including information on the dozen or so operation members who were captured.

The second report was submitted by Gin, concerning two mysterious figures around Yusaku Kudo: a "Warrior of Light" and a "Female Fighter" who blocked Gin, Vodka, and Gil respectively, as well as the sudden appearance of Shuichi Akai, the captured Chianti, and Vermouth's report about a fake Shuichi Akai who was so convincing that she couldn't tell the difference.

The third report was from Tequila about the rescue of Akemi Miyano, and from Ireland about the disappearance of Sherry.

After a long silence, Karasuma Renya smiled, but his smile held a chilling undertone and murderous intent.

"Well done, Yusaku Kudo. The first trap was set for that idiot Pisco, orchestrated by the 'Zero' team. They repelled the three codenamed members—Ireland, Bourbon, and Scotland—and captured twelve other members of the operation."

"The second trap was designed for those who saw through the first one. By bringing in Shuichi Akai, the ace of the 'Silver Bullet' squad, Gin suffered a major loss."

"The third trap is to rescue Akemi Miyano, thereby depriving Sherry of her weakness and throwing the organization into chaos, thus preparing for the rescue of Sherry."

"The fourth trap is to first arrange for someone to try to save Sherry, so that we can lower our guard. Then, when we think that the rescue of Sherry has failed, the undercover agent will cooperate with Sherry to escape from the inside. Well done, Kudo Yusaku."

"I lost this game, a complete and utter defeat. But, Yusaku Kudo, our battle has only just begun!"

Karasuma Renya grabbed the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, a crimson glint flashing in his eyes.
