“Ran, it would be better for you to eat these now,” Suzuki Yusuke put down the lunchbox, looked at the hungry, clueless detective and Conan, and took out three more large lunchboxes. “These are for the teacher and Conan.”

The two opened it and were greeted by a wonderful aroma.

"What are all these?" Kogoro Mouri's nostrils were wide open, and you could even see his nose hairs.

"Milk-flavored corn pancakes, glutinous rice balls, and a serving of glutinous rice balls."

After finishing their meal, Yusuke Suzuki drove the Mori family to Teitan High School.

Ran Mouri has changed into her school uniform today and is naturally going to school, but before that, she needs to go and visit Tomoaki Shinide.

Upon arriving at their destination, Kogoro Mouri once again mercilessly mocked his daughter's idea about a mischievous boy.

"Doctor, how is Xiaolan now?" The muddle-headed detective, who had been laughing, suddenly became serious.

“Her cold is completely cured,” Niide Tomoaki said gently. “She is very healthy now.”

Angle, whom I admire, has recovered from her cold. Vermouth must be quite happy, right?

Yusuke Suzuki stood behind Conan, his hand on Conan's head, saying nothing and expressionless.

Vermouth has looked at her several times since she entered the room.

After exchanging another glance, Shinichiro's eyes crinkled into a smile. "With Ran's healthy body, even ghosts would run away."

After the examination, Conan suddenly spoke up, "Brother Shinichi, where's that old lady from before? And the maid too?"

"I'll send the two of them to Aomori to prepare for the work first."

“Oh, right,” Ran Mouri said, looking at Tomoaki Shinichi, “the doctor said he was going to work at a hospital in Aomori, so they’ll be going with him too.”

"Yes, but I have to refer the patients here to other hospitals before I leave. I've already spoken to the other hospitals. Also, I have to go to court to testify about the murder that happened here before."

Yusuke Suzuki didn't glean any additional information from Vermouth's words, so he simply ignored her.

He was actually torn between taking action to eliminate Vermouth first, but he still hoped to become allies with this woman.

Now that the Full Moon arc is over, this goal is very likely to be achieved, so he can still endure it.

Moreover, he was fearless, believing that as long as Conan was with him, Ai Haibara would be safe.

More importantly, Conan will protect Ai Haibara and will not help Vermouth fight him.

As they walked and talked, Ran Mouri was still preoccupied with the matter of the ghost.

"With medicine and science so advanced these days, what ghosts could there possibly be?" Kogoro Mouri thought his daughter was a bit obsessed.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Then you're wrong. It's just that narrow-minded people can't see it. Those ghosts still often appear in my apartment and play pranks."

Everyone turned around, but Suzuki Yusuke was stunned for a moment.

There is a text message.

He glanced at Vermouth first, but she didn't look at him.

Yusuke Suzuki took a step back, took out his phone, and the next moment, boundless anger surged up.

The phone screen displayed a photo of Ai Haibara with her mouth taped shut, her expression terrified, and tears welling up in her eyes.

【Wild Sparrow, let me see who you really are. —Rye】

Chapter 200 The Abandoned Building Full of Mysteries

Shuichi Akai?

Do you want to die?!

Yusuke Suzuki's knuckles tightened as he gripped the phone.

But then he realized something was wrong.

How could Shuichi Akai possibly kidnap Ai Haibara?

At least in his attitude towards Ai Haibara, he should be the same as himself.

Furthermore, how did the other party know his code name within the organization and send such a message to his phone?

He didn't recall anyone revealing his code name during their previous encounters.

Yusuke Suzuki calmed down and realized that the address on the email was not his organization's address.

It seems the FBI has already seen through my identity.

Or is this just Shuichi Akai testing the waters?

Was his code name simply overheard by accident?

In a very short time, Yusuke Suzuki thought of many possibilities, but he still had to accept the invitation.

"Teacher, I have to go now."

Yusuke Suzuki gave a casual greeting and left.

"Wait a minute, Yusuke..."

The bumbling detective was a bit confused, but his disciple showed no sign of stopping.

"Maybe Yusuke's company is in some trouble?" Ran Mouri guessed.

Conan, however, was frowning deeply. He knew his friend's emotions were definitely violent, something that had never happened before.

Could something really bad have happened?

However, even if he asked, the other party probably wouldn't say anything; in their eyes, he was just a slightly more talented child.

Perhaps you could call Ai Haibara and ask her. She might know something, since her good comrade has been spending most of her free time with Yusuke Suzuki lately. She should be able to glean some useful information.

Heh, Conan suddenly chuckled. Why was he worrying so much? He knew how capable Suzuki Yusuke was. When he got serious, there was probably nothing that could stump him.

Shinichiro simply glanced back at them with a normal attitude, showing the expected doubt, before turning his head back to look at the old man who had spoken to them earlier.

After leaving, Yusuke Suzuki went home first.

They found all sorts of things, including bulletproof vests, pistols, and grenades.

In the end, he decided not to bring grenades, in case he accidentally hurt Ai Haibara.

His physique is very standard; once he puts on his bulletproof vest and then his jacket, he is practically undetectable.

As for handguns, he was very experienced with them, having witnessed Gin pull out guns from various places up close.

There are only three magazines at home, with a total of 24 bullets.

That's it. He went out, disguised himself, and then drove the black Mazda that Gin had given him last time, heading towards his destination.

During this time, he received two more emails, both of which changed the final location.

Don't worry, this is the final address. You won't break your promise, right? —Rye

Oh, and there are two more new photos. —Rye

When he opened the new photos, he found they were all close-up shots of his face, which made him so angry that he smashed his phone.

Shuichi Akai may have chosen to take the photo close to his face because he was worried that the photo would reveal too many environmental details.

However, this way of filming makes Ai Haibara's expression even clearer; Yusuke Suzuki has already sentenced Shuichi Akai to death.

Eight hours later, Yusuke Suzuki finally arrived at his destination.

Abandoned buildings in Hokkaido.

By this time, the sky had darkened considerably, and night would soon fall completely.

Yusuke Suzuki glanced at the black Mazda and inexplicably thought of Bourbon, but he quickly cleared his mind of those thoughts.

He took out his phone, which he had just bought on the way, and remembered the other party's email address.

【I have arrived. 】

About two minutes later, the email from the other party arrived.

[Go up to the 7th floor. If you're afraid of an ambush, you can leave now. —Rye]

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't going to be a fool and rush straight in; he was there to save people, not to die.

He first listened carefully to the sounds inside the building. It was very quiet, giving him the feeling of a desolate, abandoned building.

There was no beeping sound either, so at least we can be sure there's no time bomb.

Nobody...no bombs...

What does it mean?

The Empty City Stratagem?

A new email arrived.

[If you're too scared to go upstairs, just go back. —Rye]

Can you see my actions?

Yusuke Suzuki immediately scanned his surroundings and finally spotted red dots at several corners of the concrete staircase.

The other party kept trying to provoke him into the building, so there must be something wrong with the building, but he didn't know exactly what the problem was.

My actions are being monitored, leaving me in a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, he sent an email.

"You wanted to know who I was, didn't you? Why don't you come out? Your sniper rifle isn't aimed at me, so there's still room for maneuver, isn't there?"

How do you know I wasn't aiming at you? —Rye

The next moment, Yusuke Suzuki instantly fell to the side.

The concrete wall in front of him was riddled with bullet holes, leaving a large crater.

Judging from the bullet's impact point, Shuichi Akai was aiming at the leg.

Is this an attempt to arrest me?!

Using the momentum of his roll, Yusuke Suzuki rolled two meters away, then forcefully changed his direction and rushed into the building.

Sure enough, a bullet landed right on his heel.
