The world of science is unscientific

“However, although he is a member of the organization, his status is not high,” Ai Haibara said casually. “The organization only valued his agility and intended to train him to be a top assassin.”

"He just failed the organization's expectations and was transferred to me to be a guinea pig for human experiments. However, he escaped before that, and I escaped from the organization afterward, which is why we haven't met."

"They escaped?"

"Yes, I think he was also very scared, right? The organization's power is irresistible, so he was afraid of the organization's arrangements for him and desperately wanted to escape the organization's control."

"I originally thought the organization no longer cared about his life or death, but I never expected..."

Conan was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what do you mean by 'because of Numabuchi Kiichiro'?"

“Don’t you understand? My sense of the organization… has weakened or even disappeared,” Haibara sighed. “The ability to sense danger used to be my only reliance, but now it seems I’m losing it too.”

Ai Haibara recalled her school days and the moments she spent with Yusuke Suzuki, and said with self-deprecation, "It must be because I got used to this peaceful life that this ability disappeared."

Suddenly, Ai Haibara felt her head being touched.

Yusuke?

She looked up and around, but didn't see him.

Yeah, who knows what that guy is doing right now, how could he possibly be here?

By the way, if he were here, what would he say to me?

It was probably something like, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

This gentle haven that I've become so enamored with...

Ai Haibara couldn't help but think that perhaps it was because she had truly become less afraid?

"Isn't this a good thing?" Conan comforted him. "It just means you're becoming more and more like an ordinary person."

Ai Haibara smiled faintly, "That's true. Alright, let's go find Mitsuhiko."

"Ah, maybe I still have a chance to catch that guy!"

On the other side, Suzuki Yusuke had caught up to within two meters of Numabuchi Kiichiro.

The other person started running away as soon as they saw him, their expression filled with extreme fear.

Why do you keep chasing after me?!

Numabuchi Kiichiro was certain that this man was different from the three people he had killed before; this man must be from the organization.

That aura that made his soul tremble was absolutely true!

"I just want to talk to you."

Yusuke Suzuki accelerated again and tackled Kiichiro Numabuchi to the ground.

This guy's explosive power is indeed not to be underestimated; after running for a long time, he was still able to put up a fight.

But it was only for a moment.

After subduing Numabuchi Kiichiro, Suzuki Yusuke first held his breath and listened to the surrounding sounds, but no one was there.

He chuckled coldly, "Let me introduce myself. My code name is Weique."

"Please, please let me go. Don't take me back to that horrible organization..." Numabuchi Kiichiro struggled as his face was pressed to the ground. "Take me to the police station or just kill me, just don't take me back."

"Please, I'll do anything you want!"

Yusuke Suzuki sighed. "Then you shall pledge your allegiance to me."

?

Numabuchi Kiichiro was taken aback.

"Swear allegiance to me and do my bidding, and I will transform you so you can live like a normal person."

Seeing that Numabuchi Kiichiro was still silent, Suzuki Yusuke continued, "You have no choice now. Believe me, you can live well. If you don't believe me, I will take you back to the organization right now."

Numabuchi Kiichiro, guessing that he had already developed organizational PTSD, nodded hastily.

“That’s more like it,” Yusuke Suzuki said, immediately easing his grip. “You’ll definitely have a bright future working with me. I’ll pay you 100 million yen a month. What do you think?”

Numabuchi Kiichiro was still in a daze, nodding subconsciously, then shaking his head, his pig brain already overloaded.

At that moment, Suzuki Yusuke heard faint footsteps approaching from afar, and immediately lifted Numabuchi Kiichiro up the nearest tree with one hand.

Within two minutes, Mitsuhiko walked over, panting, and then collapsed to the ground. About ten meters away from him, in a tree, were Suzuki Yusuke and Numabuchi Kiichiro.

"I'm just like this kid..."

Numabuchi Kiichiro suddenly murmured something to Suzuki Yusuke, "I promise you, I don't want anything, but can I give this child away? He's lost."

"can."

Yusuke Suzuki immediately let go of her hand.

Perhaps surprised that he would agree so easily, Numabuchi Kiichiro paused for a moment, then nodded gratefully and jumped down.

He overheard Conan and his friends' conversation from the tree; they must be looking for this child.

This child is here to see the fireflies too.

Numabuchi Kiichiro couldn't help but reminisce about his childhood before slowly walking towards Mitsuhiko.

Mitsuhiko was terrified, but he couldn't move an inch. He tried to get up, but stumbled and fell to the ground.

Judging from his appearance, the man opposite me was not a kind person, not to mention that his hands were handcuffed.

fugitive?

Shouldn't he be a vicious and ruthless murderer?

"take it easy."

Numabuchi Kiichiro tried his best to appear less frightening, but even the gentlest smile on his face became terrifying.

“We’re the same,” Numabuchi Kiichiro said, glancing at Mitsuhiko’s hands, which were also clasped together. “Now, I’m just like you, you brat.”

"What... are you saying?" Mitsuhiko swallowed hard, a chill running down his spine. The detective badge hanging on his backpack was still beeping incessantly.

Contacting Conan now would only drag everyone into a quagmire.

"What you're holding in your hands, are those fireflies?"

Kiichiro Numabuchi sat down next to Mitsuhiko. "In a while, many fireflies will come out of this forest. It will be a beautiful sight."

"Ah...yes." Mitsuhiko raised his hands and placed them in front of his eyes, opening a crack in the window. The green fluorescence inside was quite beautiful.

Although this man is frightening, he doesn't seem to have any malicious intent right now.

"May I see it?"

Mitsuhiko paused for a moment, then cautiously stretched out his hands.

Numabuchi Kiichiro leaned forward like a child and pressed his eyes against those small hands.

“That’s great…”

"Sir, you..."

"I'll take you to find your friends."

Numabuchi Kiichiro interrupted Mitsuhiko, stood up, and picked him up.

Mitsuhiko instinctively thought that the other person might want to find Conan and the others through him, but his intuition told him that this man really wanted to send him away.

Yusuke Suzuki watched from the tree as Kiichiro Numabuchi carried Mitsuhiko away, then gently jumped back to the ground and followed along the path.

Chapter 222 Call Me Boss

Not long after Numabuchi Kiichiro left, he heard Conan's voice.

On the other side, Genta and Ayumi suddenly heard the beeping sound of the detective's armband.

"Conan, did you hear the sound of the armband?"

Ayumi exclaimed in surprise, "The sound is getting louder and louder!"

“That means he’s getting closer,” Genta shouted. “Hey, Mitsuhiko!”

The next moment, Kiichiro Numabuchi appeared with Mitsuhiko.

Ayumi was startled again, alerting the nearby mountain village spies and the police officers.

"Numabuchi Kiichiro! Come quick! He's here!"

The beams of several flashlights immediately focused on Numabuchi Kiichiro.

"Don't turn on so much light, it's like daytime, how will they dare to come out?" Numabuchi Kiichiro looked around and determined the breakout route.

"You mean you have accomplices!?"

Numabuchi Kiichiro put Mitsuhiko down and said with a relaxed smile, "Yes, and there are quite a few of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed in the direction he had chosen, knocking down two policemen with lightning speed, like a ghost.

"Quick, chase after them!"

The police immediately gave chase, but they couldn't catch up.

"I now authorize you to fire!"

The next moment, gunshots rang out from the forest.

Numabuchi Kiichiro ran headlong without even thinking about dodging the bullets. He had very little strength left and was just barely holding on.

To be honest, he wasn't actually planning to run away, but when he thought about the man from before, he felt he needed to escape.

Since the other party has fulfilled his wish, he should also keep his promise.

"Numabuchi, I'll take you out to eat after we get out. You're too skinny."

Numabuchi Kiichiro had just heard the sound and before he could react, he found himself being tucked under his arm.

It was that man who called himself Wei Que.

"It's a matter of my constitution; I can't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

Numabuchi Kiichiro felt inexplicably relieved, while at the same time being surprised by the man's strength.

No matter how thin he was, he was still an adult. Yet the other person seemed to run with him on their back without much effort, moving as fast as lightning, even faster than when he was in good health.
