Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 177: Confused Huihara Ai
Almost as soon as Conan left the Haido Hotel.

The flames ignited by the bomb, fueled by alcohol, directly swept across the entire old hotel building.

Conan almost gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, but there was nothing he could do... Fortunately, the police he had called earlier had not left yet.

But when Conan got back to the car, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"Shinichi, didn't you find Ai?"

In the car, Dr. Agasa looked at him with some concern.

Conan lowered his head heavily: "More than not finding it? Just now, Huibara's signal should have disappeared on the rooftop... I thought she might have had an accident and fell down the chimney and broke her glasses, so I went directly to the wine cellar, and the result..."

"The result?" Dr. Agasa clenched the steering wheel.

"The one coming down from above was Gin..." Conan also clenched his fists, "And that man also killed Pisk. He was the one who caused the explosion just now!"

Dr. Agasa's expression was unusually solemn: "Then, Ai..."

"It is very likely that someone from the organization has discovered it."

Conan closed his eyes, his thoughts racing, "Doctor, let's go back first."

If Haibara really fell into the hands of those men in black, and they discovered the secret of their shrinking, the consequences would be disastrous!
……

The cold night wind blew on my face, and my dazed mind gradually returned to its original state.

Is she still alive?

Obviously, Gin has discovered it...

Where is she now? It feels so warm...

Haibara Ai opened her blurry eyes, and her vision gradually became clear. The restored sense also allowed her to clearly feel that she seemed to be held by someone.

"…Have I become smaller?"

Haibara Ai was confused for a moment, but after she saw the black in front of her eyes, her memory before she fainted was completely restored.

Her pupils shrank rapidly.

Oh, she was knocked unconscious by Gin... So Gin knew the secret of her shrinking? Is this person Gin?
Huibara Ai raised her head tremblingly.

When she saw the man's appearance clearly, she was stunned: black cloak, white mask... not Gin?
"……Who are you?"

Huibara Ai asked stupidly.

Only then did she realize that she was still wearing the work clothes she had found when she grew bigger.

However, after hearing her question, the masked man just looked down at her without saying a word.

The cold eyes under the mask and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made Haibara Ai's body stiff for a long time.

At this time, the cold wind was still biting.

Only then did Huiyuan Ai notice her situation—she was actually being carried by this masked man and flying between buildings! !

Fortunately, her brain was as confused as paste, so she didn't scream out when she felt the weightlessness.

However, an inexplicable fear made her bury her head in the black cloak...

She is not afraid of heights!

……

It was past nine o'clock when Conan and Professor Agasa returned home.

They were surprised to find that the lights in the doctor's house were on!
After they entered the house nervously, they found that Haibara Ai had returned home at some point and was sitting on the sofa drinking juice.

"Gray, Huihara? When did you come back?"

Conan blinked blankly.

What? It turns out that Huibara was not captured?

Huihara Ai glanced up at him and said, "Probably ten minutes earlier than you guys."

"...No, how did you come back? Didn't you meet Gin?" Conan shook his head and said anxiously, "And why was the communication interrupted? How did you escape from the roof?" Listening to Conan's series of questions, Haibara Ai took another sip of juice.

Then, her eyes highlighted four words with a complicated look: "I don't know."

Conan: "...Huh?"

"I also want to know how I escaped." Huihara Ai put down the juice and looked at the confused Dr. Agasa and Conan, with a confused look on her face, "I was on the rooftop... and was knocked unconscious."

"Gin?!"

"...I don't know."

"..."

"Anyway, a masked man sent me back just now." Huihara Ai supported her chin, "He didn't say anything no matter what I asked...but it was definitely not Gin, that person's hair was not silver."

She even had some suspicion that the streak of silver hair she saw on the roof was the reflection of the snow on the person's hair.

However, after a moment of shock, Conan's eyes were full of nervousness: "Masked man? Is that man also a member of the organization? How did he know that you lived in Dr. Agasa's house..."

"It's unlikely that he is from the organization." Huiyuan Ai shook her head. "There is a five-pointed star mark on his mask, which seems to be a special mark. Maybe he is from another organization, who knows..."

"Pentagram?" Conan was stunned.

"Yes, a cyan five-pointed star."

Huihara Ai nodded, thinking back to what happened just now, as if she was in a dream, "That person's eyes were also blue... By the way, Doctor, do you remember what I said, I should have fallen in front of the door of Kudo's house, but I don't know why you found me sitting in front of the iron gate..."

The doctor hammered his hand, "Oh! It's true..."

Conan had also heard the doctor mention this, "So you suspect that the person who sent you back last time and this time is the same person?"

"I don't have any other guesses." Huiyuan Ai took another sip of juice to calm her nerves. "But if that's the case, that person knows the secret of our shrinking. I just don't know if he's a friend or an enemy."

But judging from the other party's current attitude, it should be friendly...

After Haibara Ai finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence.

A man in a black robe, a mask, a five-pointed star... Who could he be?

-

Donggang Expressway.

A black Porsche was speeding on the road.

Vodka conscientiously performed his duties as a driver and drove the black car attentively.

However, in addition to Gin, there was another passenger in the car.

"Don't you have a car yourself, Vermouth?"

the back seat of the car.

Gin took off his hat, took out a notebook and a pen, and wrote down the draft of the email he would send later, while looking at Vermouth with disdain.

He was originally going to go back to the base to sort out what happened tonight, but Vermouth suddenly contacted him and asked him to drop her off back at his place...

"Why, do you hate giving me rides so much? Vodka didn't say anything."

While putting on her makeup, Vermouth rolled her eyes at Gin, then winked at Vodka.

Chrissie Wynyard plays the role in her true self, and is one of the important guests at tonight's memorial service.

Vodka: "..."

I really hope that when Sister Vermouth and Big Brother are fighting, he won’t be involved!

Gin also rolled his eyes: "Yeah, in order to give you a ride I can only sit in the back...don't put on makeup, it won't change the fact that you're almost fifty years old."

"Crack~"

The expensive lipstick just broke in Vermouth's hands.
