Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

"On the contrary, it makes people want to move even more."

So, the group bravely stormed the criminals' hideout.

Conan returned to the spot and stared blankly at the empty street.

"Damn it! A bunch of bastards!"

Conan arrived quickly.

With the ingenious tools he carried, he quickly subdued the group of criminals.

The last female criminal tried to grab the gun in a desperate attempt, but Ai Haibara beat her to it.

After picking up the gun, Ai Haibara gripped it tightly with both hands and fired a shot at the woman's hat, accurately knocking it off.

Conan was stunned.

That's a perfect gun-holding posture. Have you been to Hawaii too?

Soon after, Inspector Megure arrived to clean up the mess. Upon hearing that it was Ai Haibara, the little girl, who had fired the shot, he wanted to reprimand her.

However, Ai Haibara simply pretended to cry, perfectly avoiding a scolding, and even forced Inspector Megure to squat down and comfort her.

Finally, Conan took Ai Haibara home, while Inspector Megure went to handle the case.

This is quite a big case, and if it's not handled well, the already poor reputation of the Japanese police will be further damaged.

On the road.

Conan looked speechlessly at Ai Haibara, who was still rubbing her eyes with both hands, and sighed helplessly.

What kind of fate is this? How did I end up having to take a crying little girl home?

But it seems like the place she lives is on the same route as Kurokawa's house.

Conan didn't think much of it: "Um, Haibara-san, is your house around here?"

Seeing Ai Haibara nod, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll leave you here. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, Conan walked away without looking back.

Ai Haibara watched Conan's retreating figure and felt that it was about time, so she said, "APTX-4869, that's the name of the medicine you took."

Conan turned his head in confusion: "What are you talking about? I've never taken this kind of medicine."

"I won't forget the name, because it's a medicine that the organization ordered me to prepare myself."

Conan was somewhat incredulous: "The organization? Haha... What are you talking about, Ai Haibara?"

"Just like you, I was also affected by that drug. Due to the accidental effect of the cell's self-destruction program, all the cells in my bones, muscles, internal organs, and even hair, except for the nerve tissue, degenerated to the level of an infant during the growth process. It's a mysterious poison."

"Haibara, could it be that you..."

“My name isn’t Haibara, Sherry. This is my code name in the organization.”

Conan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Well, didn't expect that, did you, Shinichi Kudo?"

Conan swallowed hard: "So, you're an accomplice of those men in black."

"Now is not the time to be surprised by this."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you my exact address. Now listen carefully, my home is..."

Ai Haibara read out the address of the Kawasaki family's house.

Her voice was like the whisper of a demon, causing Conan's pupils to dilate in shock.

"This, this is Kurokawa-san's address!"

“At first I only wanted to find you, but I didn’t expect to run into him first, and he is one of the people who knows your identity.”

"What did you do to Kurokawa-nii?"

"Hehe, if you want to know, just go and see for yourself."

"hateful!"

After cursing, Conan took off running towards the Kurokawa residence.

Kurokawa-kun, please don't let anything happen to you!

Thinking of how Kurokawasaki had risked his life to save him, and how he might have been silenced by that organization, Conan's heart skipped a beat, and he ran at almost the fastest speed he had ever run.

No, Kurokawa-kun, you have to hang in there!

Ai Haibara didn't expect this guy to be so nervous, and he disappeared in an instant.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she would still have teased that idiot detective.

Conan ran all the way to Kurokawa's house.

But they found the inside brightly lit.

However, he remained vigilant.

Are members of the organization still inside?

Conan quietly pushed open the door and sneaked inside.

After looking around, no signs of a fight were found.

Business as usual.

Just as Conan was about to continue his exploration, someone suddenly grabbed his backpack and lifted him up, bag and all.

Oops, we’ve been discovered!

Conan was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat, but he quickly came up with a solution.

Without hesitation, Conan slid off the backpack like a cicada shedding its shell, then rolled over and activated his tranquilizer dart, aiming at the person who had just lifted him.

"Don't move... Kurokawa-nii?"

Conan was dumbfounded.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki was speechless.

"Hey, Kudo kid, what are you trying to do, sneaking into my house like that and pointing that stupid tranquilizer watch at me?"

"Kurokawa-nii, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but I think you're in trouble."

Kurokawasaki confiscated his tranquilizer watch and gave him a flick on the forehead on the head.

"I fell." Conan covered his head with his hands.

Just then, Ai Haibara's voice came from the doorway.

"I am back."

Upon hearing her voice, Conan revealed a half-moon eye.

He vaguely realized that he had been tricked.

Kawasaki Tsuki could easily see that Conan had been tricked by Ai Haibara.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

"I asked Conan."

"What? What happened? Didn't you see it?"

"Isn't Kurokawa-kun completely fine?"

"Did I say he was in trouble? I just told you to go and see for yourself if you wanted to know, and now you've seen it, haven't you?"

"Damn it, who are you?"

Didn't I already tell you?

"Are you really a member of that organization?"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded.

Conan felt that he couldn't trust anything this woman said, so he turned his gaze to Kurokawa Saki, who was standing aside watching the show.

"Kurokawa-kun, what exactly is going on?"

"That's how it is."

Kurokawa Saki briefly recounted how he found Ai Haibara.

"No, Kurokawa-kun, are you really that comfortable leaving a woman from that organization in your house?"

Ai Haibara sat at the dining table, silently eating the food prepared by Tsukuru Kurokawasaki.

He seemed indifferent, but in reality, his ears were twitching as he listened intently to their conversation.

"What's there to worry about? Ai is so cute."

"Is this some kind of cute or not thing! She's the one who invented that poison, and she was in that organization. Who knows how many lives she has on her hands!"

"What a coincidence, I also have a few lives on my hands."

Conan's expression turned serious: "Kurokawa-san, I'm serious. This is not the time to joke."

I'm not joking, you wouldn't believe me anyway...

Ai Haibara then spoke up calmly, recounting the two times she had visited his house to conduct investigations.

Conan's expression grew even more serious, even somewhat panicked: "So the organization knows about my current situation?"

"No, thank me. I've changed your status to 'dead' on the organization's list."

Suddenly, Conan became agitated: "What a joke! You're the one who ruined my body and invented that murderous drug? Do you even know how many people your drug has harmed?!"

Ai Haibara's hand holding the chopsticks froze for a moment, then she quickly recovered and continued eating, but she didn't say anything more.

"Enough, Kudo. This wasn't Haibara's intention either. Under that organization's control, Haibara was never given the right to choose from birth. She was forced to research that drug. No one wants to be born into that kind of hell. Do you want to uphold your so-called justice and make her resist and die? How is that any different from those people in the organization? Aren't you also depriving a victim of her right to live?"

"I……"

Conan was at a loss for words and fell silent.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the faint sound of Ai Haibara chewing.

Ai Haibara was somewhat flustered, so she could only keep her mouth busy to hide her turmoil.

He glanced at Kurokawa beside him, his expression somewhat dazed.

"Alright, having you kept under Kurokawa's watchful eye is a good option, much better than you running around outside."

Kurokawasaki Yue glanced at Conan: "What kind of word are you using? What do you mean by 'surveillance'?"

"Haha... Don't worry about the details," Conan chuckled, then looked at Ai Haibara, "However, since you personally prepared that medicine, you should be able to make the antidote, right?"

Ai Haibara snapped out of her daze, and after chewing slowly, said, "It's not that easy. There's so much information about drugs, how could I possibly remember it all?"

"Then you should know about the organization's base, right?"

"Don't even think about it. That place was burned to ashes after I escaped."

"hateful!"

Conan was a little disappointed, but then he heard Ai Haibara say, "However..."

So he raised his head expectantly again.

Ai Haibara explained that, by a twist of fate, she seemed to have sent out a disk containing drug information, which might be obtained from a professor at Nanyang University named Masami Hirota.

After hearing this, Conan couldn't wait to set off.

Do you know the place?

Kurokawa Saki asked a question, and Conan turned to look at Ai Haibara, who shook her head.

"..."

Left with no other option, Kurokawasaki Tsuki had to rely on his connections.
