Stay away from Conan.

As for Ai, she could tell that Gao Yuan had never thought that this incident would involve the organization, at least before she explained the situation. Therefore, logically speaking, when she said that the organization might be secretly involved in this matter, it must have made the matter more complicated for Gao Yuan. So, Gao Yuan must be a little worried about this.

But what does this mean?
He looked relieved, as if he didn't care at all that this matter was definitely related to the organization.

Seeing Ai's somewhat puzzled expression, Gao Yuan didn't immediately offer an explanation. He simply glanced at the route and said:

"We're almost home, let's go back first and talk about it later."

Calmly, after Gao Yuan finished speaking, he took Ai back to the Akechi residence. Now that they were home, there were no more worries. Ai, puzzled by the incident, asked directly:
"What's wrong? What are you thinking? Although that aura only appeared once, I'm certain it definitely appeared before!"

"That's how it is," Ai said to Gao Yuan very seriously. Clearly, Ai didn't think this matter could be easily dismissed. After all, in that kind of setting, almost everyone present had connections or was a member of the police force. If there were organized groups among these people...

Seeing Ai's serious expression, Gao Yuan's true feelings about the situation weren't that he didn't care about the organization's existence, but rather that he had a certain...

"Anyway, we've been clashing with the organization all along. Since we can't avoid it and we're bound to run into it eventually, let's face it head-on."

That's what Gao Yuan was thinking. Or rather, he hadn't expected to remain so calm in the face of this unexpected situation that was originally part of the original work and was supposedly related to the organization.

In the past, if such a familiar original plot suddenly deviated greatly, causing things to be completely unexpected, and this deviation might even come from the organization, he would definitely be very worried, feeling that at any moment, the existence of him and Ai and the others might be exposed to the organization, thus bringing great danger to his side.

But now, perhaps because of the reason why he and Shiho Miyano had made their feelings clear to each other before, after that moment, Takato, who had already made their feelings clear to each other, naturally understood that this was a problem that he and Shiho Miyano had to face and solve in the end, otherwise he would always be "Ai's guardian".

Therefore, because of this idea, when Gao Yuan learned that organized personnel might be involved in the incident, his concern wasn't whether this would affect his own safety, but rather—

You guys have revealed something again!

After all, the appearance of original content that I was unaware of, especially since it was about an organization, meant that I might be able to obtain more clues about the organization that I didn't know from the original work. If I could catch those people involved who were connected to the organization and follow the clues, who knows what I might find out.

Moreover, given the current situation—

He couldn't understand why things would turn out this way after the police set a trap using the bomb, and why the person they caught wasn't the murderer from the original story, but rather someone who seemed to have been framed.

Now, if we add the variable of organization, then a possibility naturally arises in Gao Yuan's mind—

Could it be that the murderer Kyosuke Kazato in the original work is a member of an organization, and that among the people present this time are members of other organizations, and even members of organizations that are hidden within the police force?

Only in this way, with a mole within the police force, can the real culprit be alerted after the police have made their deployment, thus assisting the other party in setting a trap to frame someone else, allowing the real culprit to temporarily escape the police's sight.

This is not impossible. After all, given the organization's structure, since they can place people in various sectors and their influence extends to political maneuvering like parliamentary elections, it's not unthinkable that they could also place their people within the police force. In fact, some extreme criminal organizations may have done this before. Why can't an organization like this, which can operate across borders and even attract the attention of intelligence agencies in various countries, do the same? Therefore, rather than Gao Yuan finding the possibility of the organization's involvement in this matter more complicated, it actually provides him with a reasonable explanation to clarify the logic behind it.

Upon hearing Gao Yuan say, "Since we can't avoid it, let's face it head-on," Ai felt a stirring within her, a sense of security welling up inside her. She felt that Gao Yuan seemed even more reliable than before, though she wondered if it was just her imagination...

However, since Gao Yuan chose to say this, I naturally chose to trust him.

In response to Gao Yuan's reply, Ai gazed at him silently for a moment, then sighed with a hint of helplessness and responded with a light laugh:
"What's wrong with you? Saying things like this all of a sudden is unlike you."

After saying this, they looked at Gao Yuan again, exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, then smiled faintly. Gao Yuan then seemed to be thinking of something and said:

"Well... I just feel so good to have you here."

"Humph--"

Hearing this, although Ai felt quite pleased with herself because the two of them had made their feelings clear to each other a few days ago, she couldn't help but respond with a teasing tone:
"It's as if I'm someone who can sense whether an organization exists for you."

"Um……"

Seeing that Ai didn't seem nervous when they talked about it earlier, Gao Yuan casually replied:

"I think that's the idea... So, could you please explain the details of what happened?"

Following Ai's words, Takato naturally began to seek more detailed information, wanting to see that in that situation, for Ai to sense the aura belonging to the organization, something must have happened.

Ai Haibara raised her head slightly and responded with her eyes half-closed:

"Alright, since you've begged me..."

As she spoke, Ai briefly recounted the situation, specifically mentioning the suspect who was eventually taken away by the police—

"I actually remember the person who was taken away by the police. It's because after I sensed the aura of the organization, I looked around and happened to see him suddenly turn around and walk out of the banquet hall in a strange way."

As Ai finished speaking, she looked at Gao Yuan again, only to see a hint of surprise on his face. This made Ai a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" (End of Chapter)
