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

After several phone calls, we successfully obtained Professor Hirota's phone number.

After I called and explained my purpose, Professor Hirota said that he did indeed have a strange disk.

So we agreed to visit him that evening and then I hung up the phone.

"Haibara, are you full?"

Ai Haibara put down her chopsticks and nodded.

Just then, Conan's stomach started growling.

He then realized that he hadn't eaten yet...

"Sorry, I've already finished mine."

Ai Haibara showed off her clean plate.

"Never mind, let's just set off."

Let's just go hungry for a while, getting the disk is the priority.

Since Conan had already said that, Kurokawa Saki swallowed his words. What he actually wanted to say was that there was still food in the kitchen.

Since you've put it that way, then I'll listen to you.

Kurokawasaki drove the two of them to Professor Hirota's house.

Then, unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.

The aura of death seemed to be at work, and Professor Hirota was brought to his death.

It also contributed a wave of locked-room murder methods.

"..."

No wonder no one died this afternoon; they were waiting here.

Two cases in one day, that's quite something.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki had no intention of helping and stood aside watching Conan's performance.

I hate having to use my brain.

Ai Haibara also checked the computer. Unfortunately, all records had been deleted.

“The people from the organization may have come and deleted the information from the computer beforehand.”

Hearing Ai Haibara's words, Conan was somewhat annoyed: "Am I still too late? Could Professor Hirota's death have been caused by someone from the organization?"

Both Kawasaki Tsuki and Haibara Ai cast concerned glances at Conan, as if he were a fool.

"Why would the organization go through all that trouble? If it's something that can be resolved with a single shot, why would they bother setting up a secret room for you?"

Ai Haibara nodded, completely agreeing with what Kurokawasaki Tsuki said.

Conan had no choice but to go back and bury himself in his work.

The murderer was quickly identified.

He then cast a pleading look at Kurokawa Sakizuki.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki didn't want to stay there any longer, so he spoke up: "Officer, this is a meticulously planned locked-room murder case. It's not an accident at all. Not to mention me, even this little kid could see it. Now let him explain it to us."

Without hesitation, Kurokawa Saki handed the job back to Conan and brought Conan in front of a group of police officers.

Conan never expected that Kurokawasaki Tsuki would help in this way.

So he scratched his head, and then, in his childlike voice, began to guide the police in their work and demonstrate the methods.

No one from the Japanese police stepped forward to question the performance; they watched with amusement as the elementary school students began their act.

The case was solved, and the murderer wept bitterly.

"It's all Professor Hirota's fault..."

The disk that Conan had been longing for was also taken away by the police as evidence.

The killer's motive was the photos on the hard drive, which contained pictures of him before his plastic surgery.

Conan looked helplessly at the disk that the police had put into a sealed bag.

In short, it was a wasted trip.

He even had an innocent university professor killed because of Conan.

The case has been solved.

Kurokawasaki returned Conan to the Mouri Detective Agency.

Then he drove Ai Haibara home.

on the way home.

Kurokawasaki glanced at Haibara Ai, who was sitting obediently to the side, and asked, "How did you get along with your classmates today?"

Ai Haibara was speechless. This guy really thought she was a child, but she still replied, "It's alright. I even joined Shinichi Kudo's detective club."

"Those kids were pretty enthusiastic, weren't they?"

"Hmm." Ai Haibara thought about it and realized it was true.

"Then don't let other people's enthusiasm go unappreciated."

Ai Haibara silently reflected, "I understand."

"The bento box I made for lunch today tasted pretty good, didn't it? Did you share it with any new friends? I made sure to increase the portion size."

Ai Haibara's expression froze.

No wonder I'm so full.

Seeing Ai Haibara's slightly embarrassed expression, Kurokawasaki Tsuki calmly asked a question.

"Ai, you ate all of your bento, right?"

Ai Haibara turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window. She didn't answer, but that was tantamount to her acquiescence.

"Little greedy cat."

Ai Haibara snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's what it is."

"I……"

Ai Haibara couldn't come up with a coherent answer and turned her head back to look at the scenery.

It was already quite late when I got home.

I knew running into Conan would never end well.

"Next time, try not to bring Conan home. If you can take him to Professor Agasa's place, don't bring him home."

"why?"

"He's having a bit of bad luck."

"……I see."

Ai Haibara revealed her crescent-shaped eyes. She didn't know how to comment. Although encountering two cases in one day was indeed a bit exaggerated, she felt that it was more likely just a coincidence.

"Okay, go wash up and go to bed early, goodnight."

"OK, good night."

After saying goodnight to each other, Kurokawa Saki went back to her room to wash up and go to sleep.

Ai Haibara stared blankly at the closed door, somewhat dazed.

She wasn't quite used to this feeling yet.

It feels like home.

After returning to her room, Ai Haibara called her sister across the ocean and chatted for a while.

They talked for a long time about recent events before finally hanging up and falling asleep after being reminded by Akemi Miyano.

The next day.

As expected, Ai Haibara yawned incessantly.

Even the big yellow dog crouching at her feet had eyes full of worry.

Seeing this, Kurokawasaki asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night?"

"I just chatted with my sister for a while."

"How long did you chat?"

"It's been less than an hour."

It was almost midnight when she got home. Let's say she took half an hour to shower, and then we chatted for about an hour, so it was almost 2 a.m.

"You're really something, kids who stay up late won't grow tall."

Ai Haibara pretends not to hear.

After sending Ai Haibara to school, Kurokawa Saki planned to take a nap.

.........

at the same time.

In the alleys of New York at night.

An FBI agent, with a gun stuffed in his mouth, stared in terror at the blond man in black in front of him.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you know anything about the operation that night?"

"I...I really don't know anything. Please, please let me go. I have a pregnant wife at home..."

Gin completely lost his patience and simply pulled the trigger.

As the bullet left the barrel, the FBI agent collapsed to the ground.

Before long, a burly figure also entered the alley.

"Big brother, the bombs are all planted."

The blond man in black nodded.

The two slowly walked out of the alley.

Soon after, a group of FBI agents rushed to the scene.

"there!"

Seeing their comrade's blood-soaked corpse, the FBI agents were filled with rage.

"Damn..."

Before the words were finished, a violent explosion was heard.

In an instant, towering flames engulfed the alleyway and the FBI agents who had come to provide support.

Meanwhile, the culprits, Gin and Vodka, had already run several streets away.

Gin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked, "Still no news from Bourbon?"

"not yet."

"Hmph, parasites of the organization."

Amuro Tooru, who was far away in Japan, sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Mr. Furuya, do you have a cold?"

"I'm fine, my nose was just a little itchy."

You need to take better care of your health.

"I will."

"Mr. Furuya, this is the information I have collected."

Kazami Yuya presented a file folder with both hands.
