Stay away from Conan.

"They wouldn't remember the deceased's name or face... Could it be true?"

Clearly, after hearing Gin and the others' conversation through Takato's eavesdropping device, and after learning some of the truth about Rena Mizunashi, Shiho Miyano's only remaining concern about what she had just heard was Gin's statement in that conversation: "Gin won't remember the faces and names of the dead."

Regarding this matter, although Shiho Miyano was not naive enough to believe that it was definitely true, based on her understanding of Gin, she felt that what he said was by no means a joke.

Therefore, if this is true, and Gin can't remember the so-called deceased, then could it be...?

Shinichi Kudo...

Therefore, Shiho Miyano felt that if this were the case, perhaps the threat that Shinichi Kudo would face from the organization might not be so great.

And then, seeing that Shiho Miyano suddenly asked about this matter—which was something he already knew about, something that actually happened in the original work, and the key reason why Shinichi Kudo narrowly escaped danger several times—

That is, at least Gin doesn't remember Shinichi Kudo, the person he "killed".

Therefore, when Shiho Miyano asked this question, Takato thought for a moment and then said:
"As far as I know, some restaurant waiters have excellent memories. They can remember the dishes ordered by different tables of guests very clearly, without even needing to write them down. However, when all the dishes for each table have been served, and you ask the waiter what dishes were ordered, he can no longer remember."

"This situation likely stems from a memory issue; for the sake of professionalism and efficiency, some things are treated as short-term memories."

"Therefore, perhaps Gin's situation is similar. His so-called not remembering the names and appearances of the dead is because, for him, those dead are like waiters remembering the dishes ordered at each table. It's just information that needs to be memorized in a short period of time because of the mission. But once the mission is over, that is, after the target dies, as these memories become useless, they will be forgotten and naturally cannot become long-term memories."

Thus, using his own understanding of the situation, Gao Yuan made an analogy and expressed his opinion on Gin's habit of "never remembering" the names and appearances of the deceased. In fact, this situation also has a theoretical basis.

Therefore, after hearing Takato's detailed explanation, Miyano Shiho was understandably surprised.

"This should fall under the category of cognitive psychology. So, according to you, you think Gin really does forget every single person who dies?"

Shiho Miyano asked this question.

On this point, Gao Yuan was almost certain, and thus replied:

"Probably, after all, he had no reason to lie in that situation..."

—After all, because of the original work, Gao Yuan can be sure that what Gin said is basically true. In any case, he really didn't remember Shinichi Kudo. So much so that when Vodka asked him if he remembered Shinichi Kudo in the original work, he had no idea who the other person was.

After saying this, Gao Yuan looked at Miyano Shiho, wondering what her purpose was in asking that question.

For example, she could fake her death so that Gin would forget she ever existed.

"but……"

After thinking about this for a moment, Gao Yuan looked at Shiho Miyano and said:

"Perhaps Shinichi Kudo doesn't remember, but if you..." Gao Yuan paused, then recalled the plot he had seen during the trial, specifically the part about the sequel to the original work, the one related to "The Shadow of the Black Iron Fish"—

Even though Shiho Miyano had already gone through the "Train Arc" and successfully made the organization believe she was dead with the help of Kaito Kid, when the organization discovered the possibility that she was still alive, Gin hadn't forgotten her at all. On the contrary, it could be said that Gin had a very deep impression of her...

Therefore, inevitably, based on this point, Gao Yuan continued:
“I think even if one day we could stage a fake death and make Gin really believe you're dead, he probably wouldn't forget it…”

"I know……"

Seeing that Takato said that, Shiho Miyano wasn't that naive, and then said this:

"If Gin really did forget the names and faces of those he harmed for that reason, it would only be because he used those people's memories as material for short-term memory, but..."

“I’m different. As someone who lived in the organization from the beginning and eventually became a traitor to it, Gin certainly won’t forget my memories easily.”

"Therefore, I don't believe that faking my death once will be enough to absolve me of all past karma, but..."

"I was thinking, if Gin really does have this kind of memory for people, perhaps... it's something we can use, isn't it?"

"You mean... you're going to actively take advantage of this?"

Upon hearing what Shiho Miyano mentioned, Takato couldn't help but feel a little surprised—

After all, given Gin's poor memory, all he could think of was that he had forgotten about Shinichi Kudo. This is why, on several occasions when Shinichi Kudo might have been exposed, Gin simply didn't remember him and therefore didn't take it seriously or investigate.

If Gin had paid any attention to Shinichi Kudo's situation and conducted even a little investigation into the people around Shinichi Kudo, given his personality, he would probably have quickly begun to suspect whether Shinichi Kudo was still alive. Even without concrete evidence, he would likely have taken action to eliminate the threat posed by those around Shinichi Kudo.

Therefore, Takato only considered Gin's ability to remember people as a reason to keep Conan safe for the time being.

However, according to Shiho Miyano, this is turning a passive situation into an active one—

If Gin is someone who doesn't hold grudges against those he kills in the short term, is it possible to exploit this weakness of his?
What purpose is there in creating something that he will forget, but others will not?
For a moment, Gao Yuan felt that Shiho Miyano's idea seemed to have some feasibility, but he was a little confused because he couldn't think of any specific application scenarios.

But just then, seemingly because the antidote's effects were wearing off, Shiho Miyano, whose body was clearly reacting, suddenly began to tremble all over, appearing somewhat pained, and curled up in her chair—

"What's wrong? Are you alright? Is it... the effects of the medicine wearing off?"

Seeing Shiho Miyano suddenly appear in pain, Takato couldn't help but ask with some concern, but he himself seemed unable to do the same.

"N-nothing...but...can you...hold me?" (End of Chapter)
