Does Xiu actually have this opinion?

But why?

Judy's hand holding the notebook trembled slightly.

He told Hodgson about it, but kept it from himself...

She instinctively wanted to deny the authenticity of the notebook.

However, the origin of this notebook, and the familiar handwriting recorded on it, made Judy's doubts seem weak and unconvincing.

The dead can sometimes be far more powerful than the living.

Judy's mind was in complete disarray as her past feelings of longing and trust in Shuichi Akai converged with the explosive information she received at this moment.

She suddenly thought of many things.

Show... Did he hide it from me because he thought I was too close to James and wouldn't be able to accept the fact?

No, he didn't explicitly say that the mole was James.

But if it wasn't him, who else could it be?

Because of her childhood experiences, Jodie has a natural trust in James, so it makes sense that Shuichi Akai chose not to tell her.

But it was precisely because it made sense to her that she felt the shock and tremor that the reality brought to her brain.

The woman flipped through the diary almost numbly, but the later entries contained no more relevant information, only simple records of actions and daily life.

Until the day he sacrificed his life, the diary contained no further entries.

"..."

Long afterward,

The woman stood in the empty room, bewildered, for a long, long time.

Chapter 436: Ai Haibara is sulking

"How is it? The Suzuki Tower, built with all the efforts of our Suzuki Group, has a pretty good view here, doesn't it?"

The top of the towering building

The invited tourists marveled at the magnificent view of Tokyo from the sky and took out their phones to capture the moment.

Xiaolan was also one of the invited tourists.

Dressed in a refreshing outfit despite the hot summer weather, she gazed brightly at the scenery below and exclaimed with delight, "This is really wonderful! Sonoko, thank you for the invitation."

"Hmph~"

The garden was somewhat smug.

Then she looked at the few kids beside her: "You guys should also thank me properly! Otherwise, no unrelated people would be allowed into this opening ceremony."

"Ok!"

"Thank you so much, Sonoko-neechan!"

"Thank you so much!!"

"Thank you, Sonoko-nee."

"Gurgle—!"

The man's voice, mixed in with a group of children, made Sonoko's expression turn awkward.

She turned to look at Lin Jiashu standing behind her, and said a little shyly, "Jiashu-ge, what did you say?"

"Haha."

Lin Jiashu smiled, walked forward, and stood by the railing of the observation deck, gazing out the window.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Suzuki Tower that I saw with Tooru Amuro at the agency not long ago.

Below, television stations were conducting interviews and politicians were watching for business purposes. Among the tourists invited up there, some were partners of the Suzuki Foundation, while others were simply lucky enough to receive an invitation.

Right now, Kogoro Mouri is having a lapse in his fear of heights again.

He stubbornly insisted that there was nothing to see, but when he was about to leave, he accidentally walked onto the transparent glass floor and was reminded by Conan that when he looked down, he saw the ground in the infinite distance.

In that instant, Kogoro Mouri's legs began to tremble, his bladder tightened, and he let out a sharp popping sound as he frantically rushed toward the elevator, frantically pounding on the elevator panel and pressing the buttons.

The elevator responded very quickly.

however,

"Welcome aboard this elevator. This elevator will take you to a special observation deck. Please enjoy the world 460 meters above you."

On the elevator screen, the 350-meter marker was rapidly ascending, a sight that instantly turned Kogoro Mouri's face blue and purple.

"No!!!"

His screams faded into the distance as the elevator rapidly ascended.

As if hearing the wailing, Lin Jiashu turned around with a smile.

Today he wasn't wearing his usual suit; instead, he looked clean and refreshing in jeans and a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

"Oh dear, I'm wearing a skirt today."

Leaning down beside Ai Haibara, Yoshiki Hayashi said with a beaming smile.

Ai Haibara, dressed in adorable clothes, turned her head away and refused to look at him.

"What's wrong?" Sonoko asked, puzzled. "Is the child having a tiff with Yoshiki-nii?"

"I do not know."

Lin Jiashu didn't seem to know the reason either.

In contrast, Ai Haibara clearly scoffed.

Because she was always seen as a very individualistic child, Sonoko and Ran didn't know what to say when they saw this.

 

"Hey... what's wrong with you?"

Conan's lips twitched as he watched her unusual reaction.

Ai Haibara ignored him, remaining sullen to herself.

During that airship incident, she mustered up her courage and kissed Hayashi Yoshiki hard...

And then, that was it.

Since the incident ended, Lin Jiashu has not shown any particular reaction.

I didn't talk to her afterward, nor did I send her any text messages... It was as if I was giving her the cold shoulder when she acted impulsively.

A cold shoulder is a silent rejection.

Although it's upsetting, it's not incomprehensible.

Although Ai Haibara still vaguely regrets her impulsiveness back then, she is not unable to accept reality.

just,

Hayashi Yoshiki, however, smiled and acted as if nothing had happened, praising her for looking cute in her dress, and his childlike attitude towards her infuriated Ai Haibara.

Is he pretending, or does he genuinely not consider himself an adult?

Ai Haibara was secretly angry about this.

Lin Jiashu thought for a moment, then gently rubbed her head.

Ai Haibara ignored him.

She kept her face tense, as if deliberately ignoring Lin Jiashu.

So Lin Jiashu deliberately ruffled her hair, making it completely messy and resembling a bird's nest.

Ai Haibara ignored him as if he were still there.

But after only a few seconds, as if she couldn't stand the change in her appearance, she obediently smoothed her hair with both hands—looking like a kitten stroking its own fur.

Lin Jiashu laughed.

"Brother Jiashu, don't bully Ai-chan." Ran said softly, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Jiashu smiled, and then, without waiting for Ai's reaction, picked her up.

"Professor Agasa, is it alright if I take Ai away for a bit?"

"Oh, it's alright, go ahead."

Dr. Agasa said with a chuckle.

"...Let me go."

"Ai Haibara said angrily."

But Lin Jiashu ignored her and left with her.

Ayumi Yoshida watched this scene with a hint of envy... Ai always seemed to receive preferential treatment from her older brother.

If I were to sulk and ignore him like Ai did, would he carry me around like that?

Her attention was quickly drawn back to Conan's explanation of the landmarks.

Just as the group was recognizing major landmarks in Tokyo and discussing how to do their summer homework, Conan suddenly noticed a faint reflection on a tall building in the distance.

He paused for a moment.

They quickly realized it was the reflection from the sniper scope, and in that instant, the outer glass of that floor of the observation tower shattered.

A bullet pierced through the glass and struck a man in a suit squarely in the chest, shattering the monitor behind him as it continued its trajectory.

"what!!!!!"

The tourists screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events.

"Sniper fire! Get down!!"

Conan let out a loud roar.

However, his voice, while prompting a few people nearby to react quickly and lie down, actually caused panic among the tourists.

Everyone screamed and scattered.

Fortunately, the sniper did not take any further action.

Using the magnification function on his glasses, Conan caught a glimpse of the assassin on a distant building, who was putting away his gun and preparing to leave. He immediately ran to the elevator and rushed downstairs.

It wasn't until he was completely gone that Hayashi Yoshiki arrived late, carrying Ai Haibara in his arms.

"What happened!?"

"A sniper just killed someone, Yoshiki-san!"

"Where's Conan!?"

He ran down in a flash!

"...In any case, don't gather here yet, run to a place with cover first."

"it is good."

Everyone did as instructed, and Xiaolan, after hiding, immediately took out her phone and skillfully hugged it tightly.

After waiting a moment and confirming that the sniper had stopped moving, Lin Jiashu looked at the body lying on the ground.

Chapter 437: Is your mouth blessed?

Boom!

The motorcycle engine roared with intense heat as the throttle was fully engaged.

Following Conan's instructions, Sera Masumi drove her motorcycle at full speed through the alleys of Tokyo's Shimogang Port.

"He stopped!"
