Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Vermouth is secretly investigating Bourbon. This is a guess made by Hoshino Hikaru based on his memories of his past life and his current situation. The relationship between Vermouth and Bourbon is definitely not good. Given that the organization suffered a major blow not long ago, the possibility of them working together on a mission is very low.

From the Black Organization's perspective, it's more likely that Vermouth was investigating Amuro Tooru, since Amuro used his true identity while Vermouth concealed hers.

"What you say makes a lot of sense. Given the organization's current situation, it's more likely that one of them is investigating whether the other is an undercover agent. If that's the case, perhaps there's something we can do?"

Upon hearing this, Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and began to think about whether there was an opportunity to use the conflict between the two to do something.

When Conan suddenly encountered members of the Black Organization today, his first reaction was to follow them. However, after being stopped by Hikaru Hoshino, he immediately realized that this was too reckless.

This time, they unexpectedly encountered members of the Black Organization. Everyone went there under their real identities, one of whom was quite conspicuous: Tokyo's famous detective, Hikaru Hoshino. If the two of them later discovered that someone was following them, it would be easy to find them.

"I think you'd better not act rashly. Although I understand your eagerness to eliminate the organization, trying to contact those two so hastily will put you and those around you in danger."

Ai Haibara gave Conan, who seemed a little flustered, a deep look, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Sorry, I got too excited."

Conan felt as if he had been doused with cold water. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Don't be impatient. Dealing with the Black Organization is not something that can be accomplished in a day."

Hikaru Hoshino gently patted Conan on the shoulder, then spoke in a serious tone:

"My advice is that these two should not have any direct contact for the time being. Since Vermouth is suspected of investigating Amuro Tooru, it means there is infighting within the organization. What we need to do is wait patiently. They are probably both on high alert right now. If we investigate them, it will be dangerous."

"You're right. We can't act impulsively when dealing with the Black Organization. That's what my dad said too. He told me to stay calm and listen to everyone's opinions."

Conan took a deep breath, his tone softening considerably.

"Alright, Shinichi, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're not fighting alone."

Ran reached out and gently stroked Conan's temple, speaking in a tender tone.

"Yes, I know."

Conan nodded vigorously, then spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone:

"We have a holiday in a few days, let's go out for a walk."

"Is there another holiday in a few days?"

Hoshino Hikaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He raised his wrist and looked at the electronic calendar on his watch, which indeed showed a three-day mini-vacation.

"I'm telling you, are you too busy? You can't even remember basic dates."

Ai Haibara glanced at Hikaru Hoshino and spoke with a complicated expression.

"That's right, Hikaru, you're still in school. You don't need to think about work all the time. Detective agencies don't need to take on every case."

Dr. Agasa immediately spoke up, his tone somewhat concerned.

"No, actually my problem has nothing to do with being busy..."

Hikaru Hoshino shrugged, but faced with the gazes of Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara, he ultimately succumbed to his defeat.

"Perfect timing! I won a tour voucher for a cherry blossom viewing garden yesterday. Let's all go together in a few days, Professor, Conan, Ai, and Hoshino."

As Xiaolan spoke, she took out a group tour voucher from her pocket.

"As expected of Ran. Her luck in the lottery is still so good."

Conan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the lottery ticket in Ran's hand and nodded.

"Cherry blossoms? It's been so long since I've seen them. Okay, it's decided, let's all go together in three days. My car can still fit them all."

Professor Agasa glanced at the lottery ticket, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, before looking at Ai Haibara and Hikaru Hoshino.

"I don't care. If you all go, there's no point in me staying."

Ai Haibara shrugged, a slight smile playing on her lips, and looked at Hikaru Hoshino with a calm tone.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Hoshino Hikaru nodded slightly, not refusing, but couldn't help but feel uneasy. Ran winning a lottery ticket and going on a trip sounded like a premonition of a case.

……

Three days later, a seven-day holiday for reasons unknown arrived as scheduled.

Professor Agasa's Beetle carried five people—three adults and two children—towards the mountain where cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Xiao Lan, holding a digital camera, watched the petals fall to the horizon and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Cherry blossoms? I haven't seen this kind of scenery in so many years."

Ai Haibara crossed her arms, feeling the natural breeze, and was momentarily lost in thought.

In Ai Haibara's memory, ninety percent of her time was under the control of the organization. From childhood to adulthood, she went to school in an orderly manner, and then started helping the organization with research at the age of fourteen.

The only time she had seen her was more than ten years ago, when Miyano Akemi brought her along. It was only that one time. Seeing this scene now, she suddenly felt a little nostalgic for her sister.

"Ai, what's wrong?"

Ran slowly put down the camera, keenly sensing that Ai Haibara's mood didn't seem to be very good.

"When I contacted Uncle Yuzaku last time, he said that things would be settled down for your sister soon, and that we would be able to contact her in a few days. Maybe you two will be able to meet soon."

Hikaru Hoshino patted Ai Haibara's head and spoke calmly.

"It's okay, there's no rush. My sister and I are not in a good position to meet right now."

Ai Haibara skillfully broke free from Hikaru Hoshino's hand and gently shook her head.

Although she missed Miyano Akemi constantly, she knew that at most the sisters could only talk on the phone for a few minutes, and it was not appropriate for them to meet. Her current childlike body would lead to the annihilation of everyone if she were exposed to superpowers.

"Alright, Ai, since we're out having fun, let's have some fun and not overthink things. Come try Professor Agasa's professional barbecue!"

On the other side, Professor Agasa sat on a picnic blanket, holding a row of homemade grills, and spoke with pride.

"Doctor, your grill-making skills are indeed quite good, but the taste of your grilled meat is something else. Leave it to us."

Ai Haibara quickly composed herself and looked at Professor Agasa as he spoke lightly.

"Really? I think mine turned out pretty good."

Professor Agasa scratched his head sheepishly and said with a smile.

"Doctor, leave it to me."

Hoshino Hikaru shrugged, accepting the defeat with a somewhat helpless shake of his head.

Sometimes, Hikaru Hoshino really couldn't understand why Dr. Agasa, such an excellent scientist, whose hobby was eating, always had such mediocre cooking skills. Logically speaking, as long as one uses scientific methods to understand the principles of processing ingredients and controlling the heat, it shouldn't be difficult to do. After all, the doctor had done more complex and precise operations before.

However, this is perhaps the balance of the Detective Conan world. Giving the doctor the brain of a super scientist naturally comes with some corresponding shortcomings, just like lawyer Eri Kisaki is not good at cooking.
