Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

This face appeared countless times in her dreams.

The person she thought she would never see again was now standing right in front of her.

For a moment, Ai Haibara was caught in a dilemma, questioning the nature of reality and her dream.

At this moment, Akemi Miyano, who was standing to the side, also frowned and carefully examined Ai Haibara in front of her.

If she wasn't mistaken, the little girl seemed to have called her "sister" just now?

Sister...

Come to think of it, she had felt that the little girl's face looked somewhat familiar.

She looks remarkably similar to my younger sister when she was little…

Could it be? !

As if she had thought of something extraordinary, Miyano Akemi's eyes widened instantly.

She and Ai Haibara, who was standing in front of her, stared at each other.

Seeing the two of them standing dumbfounded at the door, Longye shook his head helplessly.

"Gentlemen, could we go inside first and talk?"

After saying that, Ryūno grabbed Ai Haibara with one hand and closed the door with the other.

After entering the house, Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano sat facing each other on the sofa.

Akemi Miyano was the first to break the silence.

She stared in shock at the little girl's face before her, and asked incredulously, "N-Could you be Shiho?!"

"Sister...you're alive! That's wonderful!"

"..."

After glancing at the touching scene of the sisters recognizing each other, Longye turned and walked to the mini bar next to him, pouring himself a glass of Sherry.

Sherry is a type of wine, and generally speaking, it doesn't have a high alcohol content.

The bottle Longye was drinking was sweet, with a light fragrance and a sweet aftertaste.

After pouring the drinks, Longye leaned against the bar and turned to enjoy the "soap opera" in front of him.

He took a few sips of his drink as he read.

After a while, the sisters calmed down a bit and remembered that Longye seemed to be inside as well.

After wiping away her tears of joy, Ai Haibara turned to look at Tatsuno, who was leaning against the bar, and thought to herself, "So this is the surprise you were talking about."

At that moment, Akemi Miyano also stood up from the sofa.

She walked quickly to Longye's side, grasped his hands, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you so much! We sisters are only able to gather here because of you..."

Upon hearing this, Ryuno smiled gently at the two of them: "Instead of thanking you... Miss Akemi, perhaps you should settle the bill~"

"Bill, please?"

Under Miyano Akemi's questioning gaze, Ryuno started counting on his fingers one by one: "Of course, do you think I would save you for no reason?"

Let me do the math: your and Ai's lives, the cost of learning disguise and voice changing, the rent for this apartment, and daily expenses…”

"Since we're acquaintances, I'll round it down and give you a friendly price~"

"What do you think of 10 billion?"

"A billion?!"

Upon hearing this number, Akemi Miyano's forehead creased with annoyance.

Ai Haibara, who was standing behind him, rolled her eyes immediately after hearing what Ryuno said.

Just now, after seeing Longye's "gentle" smile, she knew that Longye had started again.

Unlike Ai Haibara, who was familiar with Tatsuno's personality, Akemi Miyano seemed to believe Tatsuno's words.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked down and muttered to herself, "Hmm... Am I going to rob a bank again?"

Although she spoke softly, the room was extremely quiet at that moment.

Therefore, not only Tatsuno, but even Ai Haibara clearly heard these words.

When Miyano Akemi said those words, Tatsuno was also taken aback.

"Good heavens, is Gin such a good judge of character?!"

"Could it be... that Akemi Miyano really has some hidden talent or... interest in robbing banks?"

If that's not the case, why did Akemi Miyano immediately think of robbing a bank after he mentioned 10 billion yen?

It even gives the impression that she seems eager to try it out?

Not only was Tatsuno somewhat puzzled, but even Ai Haibara was a little surprised.

"Robbery of a bank?!"

"again?!"

"Sister, what exactly happened to you..."

……

half an hour later

Only after Ai Haibara was forced to sign an unequal treaty did Tatsuno bid farewell to the Haibara sisters.

After all, the two sisters had finally met, and he didn't want to be a third wheel.

Before leaving, at Tatsuno's suggestion, Miyano Akemi also adopted a new name, like Haibara Ai – "Haibara Sachi".

After greeting the two, Longye walked out of the apartment.

Ai Haibara walked to the French windows and watched Ryuno's figure until he slowly disappeared from sight.

Upon seeing her younger sister's appearance, Akemi Miyano smiled.

"Shiho...no, Xiao Ai~"

What's your opinion of him?

It wasn't until she heard her sister's words that Ai Haibara came to her senses.

She glanced at Miyano Akemi and said disdainfully, "Hmph! What could I possibly think of that guy who likes to play pranks?"

Seeing her younger sister's smug expression, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but smile: "I'm really grateful to him~"

"If it weren't for him, we would never be able to be together like this..."

After speaking, Akemi Miyano gave a kind smile.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara was taken aback at first, then broke into a bright smile: "Yes... Sister!"

Seeing the smile on her younger sister's face, Akemi Miyano felt a little dazed.

In her memory, her younger sister had never laughed so genuinely since she became aware of things.

Thinking of this, Longye's image immediately appeared in her mind.

"Ryūno, thank you..."

The next moment, Akemi Miyano smiled, her eyes narrowed, and said, "Ai, you seem to listen to him quite a bit~"

"You agreed to everything he just mentioned without hesitation, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara immediately blushed and retorted, "No, that's not it! I just miss Ran-neechan..."

"Oh?" Miyano Akemi immediately put on a suspicious expression.

However, she didn't delve into it. Instead, she bent down and hugged Ai Haibara into her arms, saying gently, "It's enough that you're here by my side."

You absolutely must tell me everything these next few days. What has happened since you shrunk?

"Ok!"

……

Tatsuno family

Seeing Ryūno return home alone, Rin smiled gently.

"How is it? Is everything going smoothly?"

"Yes, Ai is planning to stay with her older sister for a while."

"Really? That's good. It's wonderful to have found Ai's sister! Ai must be so happy!"

"Hmm, it seems those sisters have a lot to talk about."

After saying that, Longye walked up behind Xiaolan and hugged her from behind.

Then, amidst Ran's shy expression, Ryuno whispered in her ear, "While Ai isn't here, I have so many things I want to talk to you about~"

"Um…"

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. I've recently secretly learned a lot of new skills, and I'll show you around the next few days~"

"Eh?!"

"It's already dark, isn't it?"

……

Chapter 135 Detectives Never Disappear

The next day

After glancing at the still-sleeping Xiaolan, Longye quietly got up, put on his pajamas, and left the room.

After a quick wash, Longye went to the kitchen and prepared a hearty breakfast.

After glancing at the clock on the wall, Ryuno went back to his room and patted Ran's head.

"Get up, little pig! Breakfast is ready!"

"Hmm... I barely slept a few hours last night. I want to sleep a little longer~"
