Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Ryūno and Ai were walking home.

"So the reason they were on the bus was to follow Vermouth?"

“That’s right. The FBI must have received information that Vermouth had been frequently visiting our school recently. Then, they learned that Vermouth was planning to disguise herself as a new doctor. So they sent Judy to our school to become a teacher.”

"As for their actions today, they probably wanted to track Vermouth down to find the organization's base so they could capture Gin."

At this point, Ryuno chuckled lightly: "Ever since the failed operation to capture Gin two years ago, the FBI seems to have developed a considerable obsession with capturing him."

"Two years ago? Speaking of which, how did you know all this?" Ai Haibara stared curiously into Ryuno's eyes.

"Just call me and I'll tell you~"

"..."

Seeing Ryuno's grinning face, Ai Haibara gritted her teeth.

But... she really wanted to figure this out.

Only after Longye "confessed" to her did she realize that Longye had known her true identity all along!

Whether it's the sisters, APTX-4869, or the organization's affairs... he seems to know everything.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara gritted her teeth even harder and forced out, "Dad...Dad..."

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you, speak louder~" Ryuno looked at Ai Haibara with "curiosity" and then put his ear to her mouth.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara lowered her head and glared fiercely at the 'one-eared' in front of her.

next second.

"Ah!! Ai, you actually kissed me! Let go!"

"Ugh! (No way!)"

"Ai, you need to know that naughty kids get punished there!"

"Snapped"

"what!!"

……

A week later

The holidays are here again.

Longye opened his eyes groggily and headed to the bathroom.

After washing up, Longye went to the living room.

"I was just about to go up and call you! Breakfast is ready~" Xiaolan, wearing an apron, walked gently to Longye.

After dinner, Xiaolan said, "I'll leave the house to you today~ My mom finally has some time!"

"Okay, you guys go ahead! Oh, and try to get..."

"I understand..."

After they finished speaking, the two of them playfully pecked at each other.

"Be careful on the road~"

"Ok!"

Watching Xiaolan confidently step out the door, Longye couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xiao Lan went out today with an important mission!

A few days ago, at Ryūno's suggestion, she enrolled Eri Kisaki in a "cooking class"!

The reason why Ryuno and Ran decided to do this is because Eri recently unintentionally revealed that she wanted the two of them to have dinner at "her apartment".

At that time, Xiaolan and Longye temporarily escaped disaster by remaining silent.

But you can't hide forever. Since you can't solve the problem... then solve the person who raised it!

Under this guiding principle, Tatsuno took the lead in proposing the solution of "why not improve Aunt Eri's cooking skills".

After listening, Xiaolan thought about it carefully for a while, and then nodded heavily.

She felt that Longye's suggestion was quite feasible! Besides, if her mother's cooking skills could improve, maybe she and her father would reconcile!

With that in mind, she immediately began looking for a suitable "cooking classroom".

After all, if a "cooking instructor" is too skilled, it might not be of much help to their mother...

And today, Mom was finally able to go to cooking class with her!

After watching Xiaolan leave, Longye sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

A boring soap opera is playing on TV.

Seeing this, Longye sighed.

At times like these, he really wants to take out his game console and have some fun.

Unfortunately, in the current timeline, apart from the various arcade games in game halls, there are no fun handheld game consoles available.

The most advanced game console right now is something similar to the GBA. As for computers, at most they can only play games like "Spider Solitaire" and "Minesweeper".

Having been spoiled by various AAA games in his previous life, he couldn't muster much interest in these "newborn" games.

If Ai were here, she might even be able to play chess with him.

However, she went back to her sister's place the day before yesterday and will probably stay with her sister for a few more days. She hasn't returned yet.

After changing a few channels, Longye turned off the TV and prepared to go out to the arcade.

"buzzing"

Just then, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

Longye took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered the call out of curiosity.

"Hey, Professor Agasa? What's up?"

"Longye, do you have time today? Could you come to my house?"

"I do have time, what's wrong, Doctor?"

"Please come here first, then I'll explain. Please!!"

After hanging up the phone, Longye curiously walked out the door and arrived at the doctor's house in less than a minute.

Before Tatsuno could knock, Professor Agasa opened the door.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Tatsuno looked curiously at Professor Agasa, who was covered in sweat, and walked inside.

Soon, the two sat facing each other on the sofa.

"Doctor, where is Aunt Xiaoxing?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you! Her new bag design is about to be released, and she's incredibly busy at the company right now. She just called and asked me to come over and help out..."

"What do you need me to do?"

"This, actually..."

As soon as Dr. Agasa opened his mouth, several surprised shouts came from upstairs.

"Brother Longye!"

"Long time no see, Longye-nii!"

"Ah, I know! The professor wants Tatsuno-nii to take us out to play!"

Longye: "..."

Amidst the chatter of a few children, Conan and the three members of the Detective Boys walked down under Tatsuno's helpless gaze.

Seeing Ryūno's expression, Professor Agasa scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry! I promised to take them camping a few days ago. But Fusae suddenly asked me to come help..."

Longye didn't speak, but sighed helplessly.

When Professor Agasa saw Tatsuno's expression, he quickly tried to bow his head and beg again.

Seeing this, Longye immediately stepped forward to help him up: "Alright, Doctor, you should go to your aunt's place. I'll take the rest of them camping."

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa gratefully grasped Ryuno's hands: "Ryuno! Thank you so much! If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help you!"

After saying that, Professor Agasa hurriedly ran out the door and drove away.

After Professor Agasa left, Mitsuhiko and the other two stared at Tatsuno with pitiful eyes.

Seeing this, Longye shook his head: "Don't worry, you don't need to stare at me like that. Just like the Doctor, I will definitely do what I promise. So, where are you planning to camp?"

"yeah!"

"Brother Longye, you are such a good person!"

Conan: "..."

Longye: "..."

The next moment, Mitsuhiko pulled a map out of his bag and pointed to the marked location: "We were originally planning to go here! But now we don't have a car..."

Longye took the map, examined it carefully, and then gave a kind smile.

"Yes, it is quite far. But don't worry, I can get you there 'fast', it won't take long~~~"

Amid Conan and the others' puzzled looks, Ryūno casually dialed a number.

"Hello? Is this Director Oyama? You don't want to..."

Less than twenty minutes later, an SUV pulled up in front of Professor Agasa's house.

Conan asked in confusion, "Brother Ryūno, who is Director Ōyama?"

"Oh, don't worry about it~ This guy tried to use some 'low-level tricks' to buy a few properties from me at a low price."

"and then?"

"And... never mind that, you guys hurry up and put your things in the car, we're ready to leave~"
