Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 405 Conan's Doubts

The next afternoon.

The group of Detective Boys, returning to Tokyo from the outskirts of Nishitama, appeared at the foot of the Twin Towers skyscraper.

The young detectives originally thought they could only visit from the outside.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Sonoko Suzuki downstairs, who had been invited.

Thanks to Kogoro Mouri's connection to Mio Tokiwa, the six children, along with Professor Agasa, were able to enter for a visit.

Actually, Professor Agasa has his own solutions, after all, he is a well-known inventor in Japan.

However, since Kogoro Mouri has already taken action, there's no need for him to waste his breath.

"Wow, Anya, you're amazing! How did you know we could definitely get in?"

In the sightseeing elevator, Ayumi curiously leaned close to Anya's ear and whispered, "Just tell me secretly, okay?"

"Don't ask so many questions."

Anya stretched out her short index finger and shook it: "This involves celestial motion, solar flares, and Sister Lan's menstrual cycle. It's very complicated."

"Oh."

Ayumi nodded in disappointment. It was indeed very profound. She only understood what Ran-neechan and Auntie were. She didn't know what the other two were.

Ayumi turned her head and saw Conan's lips twitching. She leaned closer and asked, "Conan, you're so smart, do you already know how Anya found out?"

"Just a guess."

Conan shrugged. Anya was definitely spouting nonsense. Not to mention, Ran doesn't even have a period.

The reason they guessed correctly is probably because they were all children.

After all, children naturally lower people's guard.

"Conan, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Anya glared at Conan; this was the prophetic information she had received from Bond yesterday morning.

It's the result of her hard work!
"Instead of worrying about this, you should pay more attention to Haibara."

Mitsuhiko rested his chin on his hand, frowning like a little adult. "Ever since this morning, Haibara has been acting strangely. She didn't eat much breakfast, and she hasn't said a word since. Is something on her mind?"

"Yes."

Genta touched his bald spot and said in surprise, "I clearly saw her making a phone call from the phone booth in the campsite last night."

The elevator quickly arrived at the welcoming floor.

With his daughter's support, Kogoro Mouri walked unsteadily into the hall.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the abyss below.

The little ones huddled around Ai Haibara, asking her all sorts of questions.

They all showed the utmost care for this last member to join the detective team.

Professor Agasa, however, was already captivated by the equipment in the hall.

The reason I came here is because I heard that a software engineer named Hara Yoshiaki has actually developed a machine that can capture what people will look like ten years from now.

He was very interested in this thing and wanted to find out more about it, hoping it might inspire his research.

It would be best to exchange experiences with Hara Yoshiaki again.

Besides, Conan and Ai Haibara both go from being adults to children, and he's quite curious to see if this machine can capture that.

Perhaps Haibara can find inspiration from this and contribute to the research on APTX4869.

When Ai Haibara was mentioned, Professor Agasa's heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, Shinichi, I've noticed something very strange."

Conan asked in confusion, "What?" "I've noticed that Haibara often goes to the living room to make a phone call when she's halfway through her research. Every time she makes a call, she's very secretive, and she hangs up as soon as I get close."

"Do you think that the phone call Yuan Tai mentioned earlier might also be something like that?"

Conan looked at Ai Haibara closely for a few moments. "If you were to make a phone call, who would you call?"

Recently, Ai Haibara and Aunt Yoel seem to be getting very close. I heard that Yoel often goes to Professor Agasa's house to pick her up and take her home.

Could it be a phone call to Joel?
But that’s not right either.

Joel sometimes stays at Xia Chuan's house. If there's anything he wants to say, he can say it at night. There's no need to rush to call.

If it's an emergency, it's fine, but if this happens frequently, then there's a problem.

Based on the above, Conan deduces that Ai Haibara was calling someone else.

It's a bit of a mystery who it is, but if they fight frequently, it's definitely someone Ai Haibara knows.

Remove the Junior Detective League, the three members of the Natsukawa family, and then remove him and Professor Agasa.

These are the people Ai Haibara knows. If there are any others, it's Akemi Miyano!
That shouldn't be the case. Miyano Akemi should still be in the hands of the Public Security Bureau. Given the Public Security Bureau's modus operandi, it's impossible for them to give Miyano Akemi any opportunity to contact the outside world.

Akemi Miyano, on the other hand, would not expose her younger sister.

Ai Haibara is too important. If she is exposed, the police will definitely not let her go. She will be in jail while conducting research. Miyano Akemi could not have thought of this.

While Conan was pondering these things, Professor Agasa led the Detective Boys in a casual test of the Ten-Year Machine.

"Wow, it really works!"

Dr. Agasa compared the photos with those of several kids and discovered that the machine that photographed what people would look like ten years later was indeed quite remarkable.

He roughly understood that this thing used face shape and facial features to extrapolate time.

The machine first identifies the approximate age, and then the database should contain the evolutionary process of the face, such as age and skin condition.

Strictly speaking, this thing doesn't actually require much technology. As long as it consumes enough data, it can predict what someone will look like ten years from now.

For example, Genta has a round face now and will remain so in the future; the system hasn't considered the possibility of him losing weight.

So, this thing is really just for fun; it doesn't have any real practical use.

Anya put her photo in her pocket, planning to show it to her father, Aunt Joel, and Bond when she got back. Anya would be incredibly beautiful from now on.

After Ran and Sonoko finished filming, Sonoko's stiff and unnatural makeup and styling finally convinced Professor Agasa that this thing was actually just so-so.

"Hmm, what would Conan and Ai Haibara look like if they took a picture ten years from now?"

Anya knows that Conan will be Shinichi Kudo ten years from now, but Haibara only knows that he will be called Sherry and Shiho Miyano when he grows up, and doesn't know what he looks like.

Without hesitation, Anya quietly approached Conan and Ai Haibara: "You two should try it too, and see what you'll look like in ten years. It should be quite interesting."

Conan frowned slightly at Anya's innocent tone; when Anya spoke like that, she was usually trying to trick people.

But what's wrong with taking a picture?

He wasn't worried about what would happen if the photos turned out exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

Although Xiaolan was also there.

Ran also knew that he looked a lot like Shinichi Kudo when he was young, plus Kaito Kuroba's endorsement, and the two people who appeared at the Teitan High School Festival before.
Looking alike seems to be no longer a problem.

"Yeah, Conan, Ai, why don't you two give it a try?"

Ran and Sonoko Suzuki appeared in front of Conan, holding a photograph.

"Forget it, I don't really like playing."

Conan shook his head. The novelty of the Twin Towers skyscrapers was in the sightseeing elevators; inside, they were no different from other high-rises.

Ai Haibara remained silent, still in a bad mood, and had no interest in taking it for granted.
