Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

But, shouldn’t she have been picked up by Professor Agasa?

and……

Mao Li suddenly thought of the clothes he changed for her last night, and also thought of his daughter Xiaolan who was at Sonoko's house at the moment...

I'm sorry, Lan! Dad is going to jail! It's probably going to be at least three years!

Chapter 52: All the Ghosts and Honest Conan

Perhaps it was because Maori saved her that she subjectively judged that Maori was not a bad person, or perhaps it was because she had investigated a lot of information about Maori - in short, Haibara did not keep anyone in suspense, and after giving herself a new name, she told Maori her identity and experience very directly.

However, what surprised the latter was that after escaping from the Black Organization, Haibara's target seemed to be himself, and not the Conan kid mentioned in the information in his mind.

When Maori asked her why she did this, Huiyuan said something in a very calm tone that made Maori's scalp tingle and his pupils suddenly shrink:

"Detective Maori Kogoro, after you solved the case of Tsukikage Island, you have attracted the attention of the organization... I think we are now grasshoppers standing on the same line."

……

A few days later, one evening, in the Dadujian area, in a newspaper office next to a police station, a gunshot broke the silence of the neighborhood, and the falling glass fragments startled the police on duty.

"boom!"

"Fa, what happened?"

Inside the newspaper office, Huibara coldly put away his pistol and looked at the woman in black slumped in front of the window opposite him. His expression gradually returned to calm. Only Conan and others who were frightened were left standing beside him.

"Hai, Haiyuan-san..."

Conan was sweating profusely. He had never expected that this cute little girl who had just transferred to the school today would suddenly shoot. And it was really strange. It didn't look like she was shooting for the first time at all...

"Okay, so awesome!"

It took the nervous children a long time to come back to their senses, and they immediately became excited when they saw Huibara's cold look.

"Haibara-san is so handsome!"

“This is the first time I’ve seen a real gun!”

"Yeah, I also want to shoot once..."

The children's words made Conan's mouth twitch. He finally realized the necessity of Maori's desire to teach the children a good lesson...

(I have to urge my uncle to train them as soon as possible after I get back! Otherwise, if we let these kids do whatever they want, even if they turn into cats, they won’t have enough lives!)

After a while, the police, who were always a step slow, finally arrived at the scene. Officer Megure also led a team to arrest the criminals who were subdued by Conan and his companions.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the leader of the gang, the woman in black who was frightened by Huibara's shooting: "Humph, you're so scared that your legs go limp after such a small scene. You're really useless. I think you should confess everything to the police, including the huge organization behind you..."

"organize?"

The woman in black stopped in confusion.

"Stop pretending. You should have a code name like 'Gin' or 'Vodka', right?"

Conan confirmed - he had heard these two names from the two bombers who pretended to be from the Black Organization on the Shinkansen.

"Gin? Vodka?"

The woman in black looked confused at first, then said unhappily, "I'm sorry, I've quit drinking a long time ago. I'm not interested in what you're talking about."

"what?"

"What are you talking about, Conan?"

Inspector Megure laughed at this time, "This person is a habitual counterfeiter, nicknamed Silver Fox. Although she has had some plastic surgery, I will never forget her face!"

"what?"

Such a result made Conan speechless, and he could only laugh dryly and force an explanation, "But, maybe I was wrong, because on TV..."

"Edogawa Conan..."

Haibara stood by and watched Conan pretending to be stupid, with the corners of her mouth rising slightly inadvertently.

"alright,"

Officer Megure didn't take Conan's mistake seriously and said sternly to the woman in black, "Not only did you kidnap someone this time, you also violated the gun control law and fired a gun... You should stay in jail for a while longer."

“Please,” the woman in black said angrily, “It wasn’t me who fired the shot this time. It was the girl with brown hair.”

"what?"

Officer Megure was startled for a moment, then turned to Huibara fiercely, "Little boy, how could you do such a dangerous thing?!"

"Because, because... woooo..."

Huiyuan was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes and she cried with her hands covering her eyes. This made the grown man Megure panic and he began to comfort her in a panic:

"I'm sorry, it's all uncle's fault. I'll apologize to you, okay? Don't cry..."

Even after the police left, Huibara continued to cry. The children went home first, and Conan escorted the crying Huibara with a helpless look on his face.

Seeing the familiar routes around him, Conan asked curiously, "Do you live around here?"

Huibara did not respond to him, but continued walking in front while wiping her tears.

"What bad luck..."

Conan said with a bitter face, "Don't cry, it's so late, your family must be very worried, go back quickly."

"I have no family and I live with a detective and his daughter."

Huibara suddenly stopped crying and stood still.

"A detective and his daughter?"

Hearing Huibara's answer, Conan's expression suddenly became extremely strange, "That's quite a coincidence, I also lived with a detective uncle and his daughter before, but some time ago..."

As he spoke, Conan's voice gradually became quieter - he finally reacted and realized that something was wrong with this coincidence.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, Conan stared at Huiyuan face to face, his face was extremely ugly, and he was sweating profusely:

"Habara, could it be that you are..."

"My name is not Huiyuan,"

Huiyuan put her hands behind her back and smiled mysteriously, "My name is Shirley, which is the code name you just mentioned, 'Gin' and 'Vodka'. How about it? Didn't expect it, high school detective Kudo Shinichi?"

"you!"

Conan's body tensed up, "Are you an accomplice of the man in black?!"

"Are you just reacting now?"

Huibara looked at Conan and chuckled, "Huh, you don't know yet? We went to your house to investigate a long time ago. Of course, we also investigated the people around you, including the inventor who lived next door to you, and the famous detective who became famous after you disappeared and brought a little ghost with him..."

"Could it be that..."

Conan turned around with chattering teeth and looked towards the direction of the Mori Detective Agency on the other side of the street, his eyes bloodshot.

"Yes, the Maori Detective Agency, that's where I live now,"

Huiyuan continued, "But aren't you curious? Why did the Maori Detective Agency, where you were staying, suddenly say that they were going to renovate it, and also let you live in Professor Agasa's house first?"

"The answer is actually very simple. The real Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran have long disappeared from this world. The people who have been in contact with you these days have always been our people..."

"hateful!!!"

Conan only had time to glare at Haibara fiercely, then he ran away after saying these words.

Just as his figure disappeared at the end of the street, Huihara took out his cell phone from his schoolbag with a smile on his face and sent a text message.

"The fish is hooked! Please be ready!"

Chapter 53: Conan, who has done so many evil things, suffers revenge

"Uncle! Lan!"

What calmness, what caution - Conan, who was anxious, threw all these qualities that a detective should have out of his mind at this moment, running wildly on the street like a reckless man, and then rushed into the second floor of Maori Detective Agency.

Perhaps after calming down, he would realize that this was undoubtedly an act of "delivering food", but at the moment, he could not care about so much.

Panting, Conan unlocked the door to the second floor of the office, and then -

His pupils suddenly contracted, and the scene that appeared in front of him was Mao Li, who had collapsed on the chair! The latter's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something horrible, and his body seemed to have been shot multiple times, and was still bleeding.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Conan's face changed drastically and he hurried to Maori to check on his condition.

However, the moment he approached Maori's body and lowered his head...

Biu——!

A dizzy feeling like the world was spinning around in Conan's head. In just a breath, he lost consciousness and fell straight down.

It was not until this time that Mao Li, who had been slumped in the chair pretending to be dead, slowly stood up, smacked his lips, and touched his watch.

"I suddenly understand you, kid. You know what, using a tranquilizer gun to hit someone is really addictive..."

……

An hour later, Conan woke up groggily, still feeling a slight headache.

This is actually quite normal. After all, the tranquilizer gun that Maori asked Dr. Agasa to install on his watch is the same style as Conan's, but the dosage of the anesthetic is 20% higher. The dosage of the tranquilizer gun in Conan's hand was originally used for adult men.

Seeing Conan wake up, Maori and Haibara put down the tea in their hands and explained to him one by one without any further ado.

……

"Let's put aside the fact that you and uncle teamed up to play a prank on me..."

Conan carefully examined Huibara who seemed to be staring out the window in a daze, "What I want to ask is, you said you escaped from the organization? Where is the evidence? What is the reason?"

"You should be able to see the evidence tomorrow. As for the reason, it's simple, because I betrayed the organization."

Huihara's tone was calm, but a trace of barely detectable sadness flashed in his eyes. "Using drugs as poison on humans during the experimental stage is one of the reasons why I am dissatisfied with the organization...but the biggest reason is my sister."

"Your sister?"

"My parents died shortly after I was born, and my sister is my only relative. We both joined the organization when we were young, but I was a cadre with a code name, and she was just a peripheral member of the organization due to her talent problem. But just two months ago, she was killed by the organization."

"Killed? Why?"

Conan acted as if he would not give up until he got to the bottom of the matter.

Huiyuan was silent for a moment, and just as she was about to answer Conan, Maori interrupted her:

"She told me this before, so don't ask me again, Conan."

"……Understood."

Conan looked at Maori, then at Haibara, thoughtfully.

Hui Yuanze continued, "...After learning of my sister's death, I interrupted my drug research to protest, and was later locked up in a room in the laboratory awaiting punishment. I had originally planned to commit suicide by taking a pill I had hidden before, but I didn't expect that I would turn into a child like you..."

As Huibara spoke, she looked past Conan and quietly looked at Maori: "After that, I escaped from the garbage chute and was picked up by the famous detective Maori Kogoro..."

"I must tell you that although the organization doesn't know about my shrinking yet, if they continue to use the drug directly to carry out assassination plans, the same case may occur again. By then, they will know what I looked like when I was a child and will definitely find me, as well as you who have had contact with me..."

"It's true that we are on the same side, but if you want to get rid of me now, you may..."

Haibara's words were interrupted by Maori standing up and going upstairs. She looked at his back blankly, then looked at Conan.

"I've heard Xiaolan complain many times that her uncle likes to bet on horses. Over the years, he always loses, but he always bets, and he always only bets on that one horse."

Conan looked at Huibara, with an inexplicable smile on his face. "So do you understand? Maybe this choice is a bit stupid, but uncle is a person who will either not do something from the beginning, or stick to it no matter what happens after starting... Don't say things like getting rid of burdens or anything like that anymore."

……

A yellow Volkswagen Beetle sped past on the road to Shizuoka Prefecture.

"So Ai is also like Shinichi, taking that medicine to become smaller?"

Dr. Agasa, who was called by Mori to act as a free driver, was surprised after hearing about Haibara's situation. "So she will live in the detective agency in your place from now on? As for Xiaolan..."

"no way,"

Conan looked helplessly at Maori and Huibara who were taking a nap in the back seat, and muttered, "Compared to me, a male high school student, it is obvious that his uncle would rather a girl like her stay with Xiaolan. As for identity and so on... Congratulations, Dr. Agasa, you have another granddaughter of your distant cousin..."

"what?"
