Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 61: Dr. Agasa: Your daughter? [Seeking follow-up reading (.)]

"Goodbye uncle!"

"What haunted house? Who said that?"

"Isn't Dr. Agasa home yet?"

"Want to go to the park?"

In the setting sun, the three little ones were led away by Conan. Their energetic figures seemed to cast a layer of nostalgic filter over the street.

Youth, childhood friends...

This damn childhood sweetheart feeling.

Gao Mo watched the children leave while talking and laughing around Ayumi, and even forgot to correct the "uncle".

Why doesn't he have a childhood sweetheart in this world?
Is it because he is just a passerby with no role?

Only after watching the young figures disappear at the end of the street did Gao Mo retract his gaze and turn to Huihara Ai who was hiding by the living room window.

This little sad...

Why did it feel like he had memories of the future? A future rebirth?
It's not impossible. Whatever happens in this weird world is normal.

Hmm…wait a minute, if I were reborn, would I remember any winning information?
living room.

Ai Haibara leaned against the window, immersed in memories for a long time without moving.

"What do you think of Ayumi and the others?" a question suddenly came from behind.

"return……"

Huihara Ai reacted and turned around, her expression slightly tense as she met Gao Mo's inquiring gaze.

"You mean those kids just now? Kudo Shinichi was too close to them. It was dangerous."

"Is it dangerous?"

Gao Mo tried to see something from Huiyuan Ai's cold face, but he could only vaguely see tiny traces of tears.

"If nothing else, I'll take a rest first."

Ai Huihara covered her mouth and yawned loudly, then walked past Gao Mo in slippers.

"Kudo Shinichi, I don't want to meet him for the time being. If you have any questions, just tell him directly. You seem to know everything anyway."

Gao Mo followed Huibara Ai who was trying to change the subject.

It seemed like this woman pretended to be unconscious yesterday.

I was almost fooled by its cute appearance.

No matter what is the case now, Haibara Ai is still the genius scientist Miyano Shiho, and her intelligence is far higher than that of an ordinary person like him.

"You really don't want to go to school?" Gao Mo continued, "It would be a bit noticeable if a child didn't go to school, and you also need a suitable new identity."

"Don't go."

When talking about going to school, Haibara Ai froze in her tracks, shivered as if due to stress, shrank her body and hurriedly quickened her pace.

It's as if school is a monster.

"Good night……"

Gao Mo felt that he didn't quite understand it, but he didn't dare to ask too much.

It was still early, but he was not sleepy. Seeing Haibara Ai return to her room, he temporarily put aside other thoughts and returned to the study at the end of the corridor.

There were half-read books on the desk.

Because of the appearance of Haibara Ai, all the important work was delayed.

"Ok?"

Gao Mo glanced casually and suddenly noticed that the books on the bookshelf had been slightly moved.

Because there was no time to clean it thoroughly, there was still some dust on the bookshelf, and you could faintly see small handprints left on it.

Haibara Ai?

This little Ai is really weird.

Could it be that something was hidden here in advance?
If there is memory of the future, it is not impossible.

Gao Mo took a closer look, but didn't find anything. He didn't think any more about it and returned to his desk to continue checking the note projection.

For the actor profession, promotion to level 3 has already met the additional conditions and only requires accumulating 30 stars.

To advance from Detective Level 2 to Level 3, you also need 30 stars, but the additional requirement is to open a detective agency...

As luck would have it, I haven’t been bothered by any additional conditions lately.

Not enough stars.

The number of stars that a case can get is still a bit small.

I don't know if there are any achievement rewards for setting up a detective agency.

Gao Mo thought about the professional achievement he got when he first participated in a TV series. Although the reward was only one star, it was indeed a direction.

Although he hasn't made any new achievements in the acting industry, he is making rapid progress in his detective work.

The image of the detective vest "Kindaichi" has been successfully established, and the detective agency will be opened soon, waiting for Dr. Agasa to help complete the house procedures.

If there were no achievement rewards, or if the rewards were not much, he would probably have to run around completing tasks.

Honestly.

After one case after another, he always feels like he is looking for a scapegoat.

The death rate has spread several times, and the last time it almost killed Little Mustache.

The same thing happened at the Rice Flower Library. If Jinchuan hadn't been so weak, and if he hadn't known about this guy's problems and subdued him in time, several members of the Junior Detective Team might have died. When he's around, it seems that only by quickly solving the case and killing the murderer can we prevent the spread of death.

If he doesn't restrain himself a little, he will become the "mastermind" and "incarnation of death" in the criminal world.

It’s hard to say what will happen then.

He is not very good at anti-reconnaissance and vest camouflage at the moment.

If something really goes wrong, even having a pseudonym may not be reliable.

If it causes a mass death incident...

Gao Mo looked quietly at the glowing words on the notebook projection.

I hope he is just overthinking it.

……

"boom--!"

The next morning.

Gao Mo was awakened by a loud bang and felt that the whole house almost shook.

I pulled aside the curtains and looked into the yard next door, but my view was completely blocked by thick smoke.

Needless to say, it must be the Doctor who has returned.

Opening a detective agency here... doesn't seem like a good choice.

It's so scary.

Gao Mo walked out of the room in his pajamas and happened to meet Xiao Ai coming out from across the street. She was yawning as if she hadn't gotten enough sleep, glanced at him, and then quickly looked away.

"I'll go prepare breakfast."

Ai Haibara walked into the kitchen skillfully, wearing slippers that were several sizes too big for her. She used chairs as a table and took out eggs and instant noodles from the refrigerator.

"The ingredients are too few, can you prepare some more?"

"I called the delivery number yesterday, and someone should be delivering it this morning," Gao Mo explained, "When the firm opens, there might be a private party for friends to come over and get together."

Huibara Ai blinked and looked back, very curious about who Gao Mo's friends would be.

“Will there be any celebrities coming?”

"Okino Yoko wanted to come, but her agent stopped her, and I don't want to cause any trouble, so it should be only Mori and the others who will come for dinner."

Gao Mo only plans to open the business in a low-key manner. With the "Kindaichi" vest, he will not be afraid of not getting commissions when the time comes.

If anything happened because of Yoko Okino, he might not be able to keep his detective agency going.

"Boom!"

There was another commotion next door, and it seemed as if the courtyard wall had finally collapsed.

Gao Mo observed from the door for a while, and after making sure it was safe, he said to Huiyuan Ai: "I'm going to visit the doctor next door later. Do you want to go?"

Haibara Ai's little hands trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and hummed softly after a long time.

……

"Cough cough!"

Next door courtyard.

Dr. Agasa crawled out of the ruins in the pungent smoke and dust. His protective suit was blackened by the smoke. After taking off his goggles, he touched his slightly burnt beard.

"I failed again. There's no reason."

The last time there was an explosion of this magnitude was when Gao Mo came.

The time before that was when Shinichi was still living at home...

"PhD!"

Gao Mo greeted Huihara Ai.

"When did you come back?"

"Amo," Dr. Agasa pulled his beard and came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Huiyuan Ai who was huddled beside Gao Mo in surprise, "This child... is your daughter?"

"I'm single, how can I have a daughter?"

Gao Mo pulled Huihara Ai, who subconsciously hid behind him, and followed the doctor across the ruins and into the living room before continuing his explanation.

"She took the same medicine as Kudo and became smaller. She's now living next door. I'd like you to help her find an identity, Doctor... preferably one that doesn't require her to go to school."

"Not going to school?"

Dr. Agasa touched his bald head, and before he could say anything, he saw Haibara Ai holding a large bag of slimming tea in both hands.

"..."

Is slimming tea popular now?

"You guys sit down first, I'll go change my clothes."

The doctor ran away in a hurry, completely unaware of the tears in Haibara Ai's eyes.

Although it only lasted for a while before she lowered her head to cover it, Gao Mo, who was watching quietly, still saw Huibara Ai's sadness.

What's wrong with this woman? It's like everyone is going to die in the future.

"I'll figure out the identity issue myself," Huiyuan Ai said, putting down the slimming tea. "I probably won't stay in Japan for too long. Leaving too many traces will cause trouble, so..."

Gao Mo opened his mouth in surprise.

What expansion is this?
