Almost a minute passed before Shuichi Akai finally spoke.
Ai had roughly guessed the answer, but at that moment, she almost couldn't hold back and picked up her newly bought bag, smashing it directly onto the head of the scumbag in front of her.

Chapter 87 Has my acting deteriorated to this extent?
"No! Wait! I can't make a move now. Even if I have to, I have to wait until I've asked all the questions!"
Ai gripped the bag's shoulder strap tightly, trying to steady her breathing, and continued to ask, "So, during your later interactions with my sister, did you ever really fall in love with her?"
Shuichi Akai's heart tightened, and his eyes, which had just calmed down, flickered violently again.
Is there even a need to ask this question?
He is indeed a secret agent and an undercover agent, but he is not truly devoid of emotions.
Women, in particular, have very sensitive intuitions, and the best way to deceive Akemi Miyano was to genuinely fall in love with her. So, after dating for a while, he truly fell in love with Akemi Miyano.
But the question is, can he really tell Ai like that?
What if Ai tells him to go back to Miyano Akemi after hearing this?
He's already being watched by the organization. If he gets together with Akemi Miyano again, wouldn't that drag Akemi Miyano into it again?
"I--"
"Ai-neechan! This old man is lying! He actually likes Akemi-neechan!"
Just as Shuichi Akai was about to speak, Anya, with her adorable big eyes, spoke first.
Of course, this was because Xiao Aihua had asked her for five ice creams in advance.
Shuichi Akai was taken aback by what he heard, and subconsciously turned to look at Anya, feeling speechless.
"Has my acting deteriorated to such a degree that even a child can see through my thoughts?"
This is, after all, a world where Conan is a fictional character, so Shuichi Akai, whose thoughts had been seen through, didn't think much of it. He was just a little surprised that his emotions had fluctuated so much that he couldn't keep up his acting, and even a child could tell.
"Okay, I did have a crush on your sister back then."
"What do you mean by 'okay'?!"
Ai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, her eyes flashing with angry rage.
Thankfully, Conan wasn't around, otherwise a murder might have happened!
"Calm down! Ai, you have to calm down! This guy can't die yet!"
At this moment, Ai's consciousness seemed to split into two people. One kept reminding herself that she couldn't get angry, while the other subjected Shuichi Akai to every cruel punishment she could think of.
Yes, last night she watched a movie called 'The 10,000 Ways a Detective Dies' with Elaina and Sonoko.
"Then why did you run away alone instead of waiting for her?" Ai asked again.
Shuichi Akai didn't hesitate this time and explained seriously, "I escaped the organization by faking my death. I thought I could keep fooling Gin, but I didn't expect to be exposed later."
"As for why I didn't take your sister with me, it's because I knew she wouldn't come with me."
"Because you are still in the hands of the organization."
"Your sister will stay even if there is only a sliver of hope, so as not to implicate you."
"So I thought I'd rescue you first and then go find your sister, and take her with me."
"But before I could find the lab where you were, I saw the news in the newspaper about the pharmaceutical factory explosion, and your sister also disappeared."
Ai was taken aback at first, staring intently into Shuichi Akai's eyes for a few seconds before turning to Anya. Seeing Anya nod, the expression on her usually icy face finally softened a little.
Although she was still a little annoyed, she wasn't an unreasonable person.
From a rational perspective, Shuichi Akai did not do anything wrong.
Most importantly, her sister clearly still likes Shuichi Akai and can't let go of him even after so much time has passed.
"What if I asked you to get back together with my sister now?" Ai asked.
“No way,” Shuichi Akai refused decisively. “Since you and your sister have already escaped the organization, don’t get involved with me again. I’m different from you. I not only work for the FBI, but I also have my own reasons for destroying this organization.”
His decision did not surprise Ai.
In fact, if possible, Ai wouldn't want him to have anything to do with her sister anymore.
Unfortunately, although she had never heard the saying, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?", she understood a similar principle.
Once you take feelings seriously, you can't just get rid of them easily.
“I understand, and I don’t actually need you to go back to my sister and be with her. I just hope you can call her occasionally, so that she won’t continue to be sad, and time and distance can gradually cool down your relationship.”
Shuichi Akai was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what she meant.
This is similar to how many couples in the throes of passionate love will feel extremely sad and unable to forget each other for a long time after a sudden breakup.
However, if you don't break up for the time being, and instead use time and distance to wear down the flames in your heart, you won't be as sad when you bring up breaking up later.
“That’s not a problem.” Shuichi Akai thought for a moment and then agreed.
"This is my sister's phone number. She's in Los Angeles right now. How and when to contact her is up to you. I just hope she can stop being sad."
Ai gave another reminder, then took out a note she had prepared beforehand from her bag and handed it to Shuichi Akai.
"I understand, and I will try my best to break up with Mingmei peacefully without hurting her."
Shuichi Akai took the note and assured Ai.
Seeing this, Kitagawa Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He had been thinking about whether to reveal the truth that they were cousins, but it seems there's no need to now.
Shuichi Akai's mother, Mary Akai, is the older sister of Elena Miyano, Ai Haibara's mother. Therefore, Shuichi Akai's true identity is actually Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano's cousin.
Unfortunately, they were still unaware of this blood relationship until this point.
More importantly, Shuichi Akai dated Akemi Miyano for several years and did everything that was supposed to be done.
Therefore, he doesn't want to reveal this cruel truth unless absolutely necessary.
but
"If we go back a hundred years, or maybe fifty, it would be quite normal for cousins to get married back then, wouldn't it?"
"Speaking of which, in Japan and some European countries, the law doesn't prohibit cousins from marrying."
"what?"
"So, if Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano were to get together, it seems there wouldn't be any legal problems?"
"hiss--"
"This is so exciting!!"
Suddenly remembering that Anya was beside him, Kitagawa Yu quickly dismissed those thoughts before any inappropriate images for children could surface.
"Hmm, I should think about what I need to buy to take back with me."
Thanks to Elena's spatial magic, Kitagawa Yu didn't have to worry about not being able to bring back all the things he bought, just like last time.
A pocket with a radius of five meters is more than enough to fit a small house inside.
"I need to take Conan's dad's novel with me, and it would be best if it could be converted into an electronic version so I can just print it out when I get back."
"I also can't miss those best-selling records from previous years in the record store, but I don't know if they come with arrangement and composition sheet music, otherwise I'll have to do it myself."
"And those movies from this world, we can take them back and give them to Chizuka."
"As for the animated films of this world."
Kitagawa Yu felt a shiver run down his spine at the thought of Kamen Rider.
"Let's just forget about this!"

Chapter 88 Sudden Confession
"Um... Yu! I like you! Please be my boyfriend and go out with me!"
What was destined to happen, could not be avoided.
In the clean, bright, and bustling hotel lobby, Kitagawa Yu, who had just checked out, was carrying his suitcase and walking out of the hotel with Elaine and the others, planning to quietly head to the airport to accompany Ai to leave Japan and fly back to America before returning to the main world. Kitagawa Yu felt extremely embarrassed as he looked at Sonoko, who had somehow gotten wind of the situation and came over to confess her feelings to him in front of Elaine, the others, and many passersby.
"So this is what it feels like to be confessed to in public?" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He originally thought he had a pretty thick skin, but when he suddenly encountered this situation, being stared at by Sonoko, Elena, Ai, and so many passersby, he actually felt his face burning and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Of course, if he also liked Sonoko and was prepared to date her, his feelings at this moment might be completely different.
He was a little embarrassed at the time, but he was probably more delighted than embarrassed.
For example, replace the garden in front of you with Elaina, Ayako, or Chizuka.
"No, no, now is not the time to think about these things!"
Seeing Sonoko's hands clasped tightly, her eyes full of hope and expectation, he hesitated for a moment. He didn't directly agree or refuse, but put down his suitcase and quickly pulled her aside.
Now, the passersby who had subconsciously stopped to watch, as well as Elena and her group, all turned their gazes away.
"Do you think Yu will agree to date Sonoko?" Ai asked Elaina casually, her eyes flickering slightly as she brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"This... I don't think so, right?" Elena said with a grin, though the smile seemed a little forced.
Although, but... what if Kitagawa Yu really wants a romance that transcends the world?
While this possibility is slim, it's not entirely impossible!
After all, from their perspective, although Sonoko's looks are a little bit less attractive than theirs, her cheerful, optimistic, cute, and friendly personality is actually quite appealing!
A huge question mark appeared above Conan's head: Meow meow meow? Are you really talking about Sonoko, that gossipy old woman?
The two couldn't help but exchange a glance, then turned to look at Anya in tacit agreement.
