The world of science is unscientific

This equipment is mainly designed to make Shimabukuro Kimie's body look like Suzuki Yusuke's by inflating it.

Of course, a certain degree of rigidity is also required, so that at least when making physical contact with others, it won't be immediately obvious that there is a problem.

Height is also a big issue. Although Kimie Shimabukuro is considered tall for a woman, she is still nearly 15 centimeters shorter than Yusuke Suzuki.

These tasks were left to Kaito Kuroba, while Yusuke Suzuki continued to monitor the Sheep Village's protective activities against Ai Haibara from a distance.

So far, there haven't been any problems.

Since he had nothing else to do, Yusuke Suzuki decided to go and take a look for himself.

After giving his instructions, he drove to Teitan Elementary School and parked two blocks away.

He did not inform Numabuchi Kiichiro of his arrival this time.

When they were still about 500 meters away from Teitan Elementary School, Yusuke Suzuki spotted the first member of the Sheep Village.

Then, the second, the third...

In no time, he located the five members from a distance.

The disguise wasn't particularly sophisticated, but it was good enough.

All they need to do is keep an eye on Ai Haibara and prevent her from being approached or taken away by suspicious individuals.

There should be quite a few members on the other side. According to the rotation schedule provided by Kiichiro Numabuchi, each shift will have 12 members on guard together.

The Sheep Village now has exactly 24 members, including those with codenames and Kiichiro Numabuchi himself, enough for two shifts without any problem.

Boss, what brings you here?

Upon seeing the email, Yusuke Suzuki gave a brief reply.

Come and see, don't be nervous, you've done a great job.

He put away his phone and walked a little closer. Soon, several probing eyes swept over him.

Is the vigilance range approximately 300 meters?

This distance is more than enough for them to protect Ai Haibara. Good, let's go back and give them a raise.

Yusuke Suzuki controlled the entire raid and inspection within 30 minutes, and once the time was up, he left the Teitan Elementary School area.

I'll follow them again later and see how they protect Ai Haibara on the road.

Meanwhile, in a house some distance away across from Teitan Elementary School.

A blond foreigner looked away from his binoculars and picked up his phone to type a message.

It has been confirmed that there are 24 people guarding the area around the target in shifts. Their true purpose is currently unclear, but I personally speculate that they are providing protection.

After thinking for a moment, he edited another message.

At 13:47, Ghost Orchids appeared nearby. I followed the rules and did not look at him, so he should not have noticed me yet.

Another foreigner in the room next to him sent almost the same message.

FBI base.

Shuichi Akai frowned slightly as he looked at the report on his phone.

Are those 24 people related to Yusuke Suzuki?

But isn't he a member of the Public Security Bureau? Those people don't look like police officers at all.

Was it a force he cultivated himself...?

Shuichi Akai suddenly sat up straight; an idea had formed in his mind.

As long as it is confirmed that these 24 people are subordinate to Yusuke Suzuki.

Therefore, in his mind, Suzuki Yusuke and Weizaku were basically the same person.

Initially, his suspicions were aroused by the similarities between the two in terms of physique and physical fitness. Later, Suzuki Yusuke suddenly warned him through Jodie to behave himself, which further aggravated his suspicions.

After all, during that period, he did nothing except ambush Weique in Hokkaido.

Shuichi Akai suddenly chuckled, stood up, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

That's interesting. The deeper you think about it, the more information you can deduce.

He looked out the window and muttered to himself, "What exactly is your stance...?"

Chapter 359 Conan and Ai Haibara's Reactions

After school, Ai Haibara and the three little ones walked out of the school gate together.

She stood with her hands behind her back, listening silently to the children talk, occasionally adding a comment.

As for Conan, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

These past two days, he's felt like someone is following them.

But that feeling wasn't quite accurate; at least he had suspected no fewer than ten people.

With so many people following you? If you want to do something, you can just do it directly.

He felt it was a bit unrealistic, but just assumed he was overthinking things lately.

On the street, Yusuke Suzuki sat quietly in his black Mazda, watching.

Ai Haibara and her group quickly disappeared from sight, and the people of the Sheep Village followed suit, practically surrounding them.

There's no point in following them any further; they might even get discovered by Conan.

Yusuke Suzuki simply parked in the mall's underground parking lot.

Not long after he left, Conan suddenly slowed down to keep pace with Ai Haibara, who was at the very back, but he still couldn't get the question he wanted to ask out.

He only has some doubts right now, and there's no need to say it out loud and make Ai Haibara worry.

"What's wrong?"

Ai Haibara looked down at her toes and asked softly.

Conan's sudden approach was a bit too obvious.

"N-nothing... By the way, Haibara," Conan carefully chose his words, "that drug your parents researched before, can it really bring the dead back to life?"

“I don’t know either,” Ai Haibara looked up at the three little ones who were still talking in front of her, and lowered her voice, “After all, most of the research data was destroyed in that accident.”

"That's it..."

Conan stopped talking and began to ponder on his own.

"Conan, Ai, why are you two lagging behind?" Ayumi turned around and noticed that they had fallen behind, her tone somewhat displeased.

She jogged back, grabbed Ai Haibara's arm, and said, "Ai, let's go together?"

"Ah."

Haibara smiled and followed, while Conan simply put aside his own thoughts for the time being.

After turning the corner, the group of five had to part ways. After saying goodbye, Conan and Ai Haibara continued walking forward.

Suddenly, Conan turned around.

He had just felt a bit spied on again by the crowd behind him.

"We're being followed."

Ai Haibara said something in a low voice, but continued walking forward, showing no unusual reaction like Conan.

“You noticed it too?” Conan’s eyes narrowed. “I think I saw that man the day before yesterday.”

"Let's keep going, Kudo. Although we don't know their intentions, if they wanted to capture us, they would have done it already."

Conan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "That's true, but we still can't let our guard down. Let's shake them off as soon as possible."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran into the crowd, leaving Ai Haibara with no choice but to follow.

Seeing their actions, the group behind them exchanged glances and took out their phones to contact their companions.

They have men waiting ahead of them; they won't let these two kids get away.

But aren't these two kids a little too perceptive? The operation had only been going on for a few days, and they'd already been discovered?

Upon receiving the message, Numabuchi Kiichiro broke out in a cold sweat. After thinking for a moment, he decided to report to his boss first.

Yusuke Suzuki's expression immediately turned strange after he saw the email as he got into the taxi.

What do you mean?

There won't be any problem if he doesn't go.

As soon as he arrived to inspect the scene, Conan immediately noticed, right?

After letting out a sigh, Yusuke Suzuki began replying to emails.

[Just keep moving; whether you're discovered or not doesn't matter.]

There's nothing we can do about it. His only goal is to protect Ai Haibara. If he's found out, he's found out. Can Conan and the other guy really arrest the people from Sheep Village?

Meanwhile, Conan and Ai Haibara kept changing positions in the crowd, and the feeling of being spied on finally disappeared.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems there are no problems for now. However, I suspect they can also track our movements."

“I will go to the Mouri Detective Agency, and you will go to Professor Agasa’s house.”

"So, should we call the police for help?" Ai Haibara asked calmly, seemingly not too worried.

"Officer Takagi might believe what I say, but others might not."

Conan continued walking. "Let's look around some more. I'll take you back to Dr. Agasa's place today."

"No need. If they had malicious intent, I would have been arrested on my way home yesterday, wouldn't I?"

“Hey, maybe they’re just checking the route and whether they’ll be seen.”

Conan was getting a little anxious. Why did Ai Haibara seem completely unconcerned?

"Don't worry, Detective. If I sense anything is wrong, I'll call Yusuke directly for help."

Ai Haibara shut Conan down with a single sentence.

"That's...okay."
