Unexpectedly, as he followed the "research institute floor plan" provided by Jiang Hang, which appeared to have come from an unknown source, through the garbage chute, and at Jiang Hang's suggestion, he first arrived at the gas chamber, where he directly discovered their target for this operation, Shiho Miyano.

When he saw that Shiho Miyano was handcuffed by the Black Organization, he recalled Jiang Hang's prediction before he came that Shiho Miyano might be in danger.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hang was right again, even guessing that the Black Organization might imprison Shiho Miyano in a gas chamber!

However, Conan quickly put away his admiration for Jiang Hang. After crawling out of the garbage dump, he introduced himself to Shiho Miyano, who was still in a daze.

"I am Conan Edogawa, a detective, and I've come to save you."

Shiho Miyano's gaze was fixed on Conan's unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face.

Because it was a covert operation, Conan naturally didn't wear the disguise glasses and appeared before Shiho Miyano in his true form.

Almost instinctively, Shiho Miyano revealed Conan's true identity.

"You are...Shinichi Kudo?"

Conan's heart tightened. He had previously learned from Jiang Hang that Shiho Miyano might already know his identity, but because the Black Organization hadn't made any moves recently, he had temporarily put the matter aside.

Unexpectedly, she recognized him at a glance during their first meeting.

Seeing the surprise on Conan's face, Shiho Miyano seemed to have confirmed it and muttered to herself.

"It's unbelievable that such a thing actually happens... It's unbelievable. My thoughts were right after all. APTX48691 really does have the ability to make people young again. But why is it only you who gets smaller... Is it a matter of probability or your constitution?"

After muttering a few words, perhaps sensing the sudden wariness in Conan's eyes, Shiho Miyano shook her head slightly at the person who had suddenly appeared and offered to "save her."

"Don't worry, Shinichi Kudo. When I first had this suspicion, I already changed the details of your death. No one in the organization knows about you except me."

Shiho Miyano did not report this matter to the organization, which relieved Conan slightly.

Shiho Miyano's gaze remained fixed on Conan: "But I don't know, given how you've become, why are you here? And... how did you learn my name?"

Without waiting for Conan's reply, Shiho Miyano looked at the gas chamber again: "But you're pretty lucky. The organization doesn't like to leave evidence when eliminating targets, including when killing their own people."

"So the surveillance in this gas chamber must not be turned on. Otherwise, if you were here now, those people would arrive soon. Not only you, but everyone around you would be implicated because of you."

Shiho Miyano still doesn't believe that Conan, a five or six-year-old child, can rescue her.

She even threatened Conan, warning him how cruelly he would be treated by the organization if he were discovered.

"So before the organization finds out about you, you'd better run away as soon as possible. It would be best to escape to a remote area where the organization can't find you and hide there. In ten or twenty years, when you've grown up again, no one in the organization will remember you."

Shiho Miyano continued to warn Conan to leave the gas chamber immediately to avoid getting into trouble.

Listening to Shiho Miyano's words, Conan's gaze fell on the surveillance camera above the gas chamber, but quickly returned to Shiho Miyano.

"So your organization has this kind of habit? We spent a lot of effort to hack into this research institute's surveillance network before."

Miyano Shiho was slightly stunned.

As he spoke, Conan took out a mold from his person and continued to say to Shiho Miyano, "Your sister is still waiting for you outside. If she knew you were saying such discouraging things, what do you think she would say to you?"

"My sister?" More than a month later, Shiho Miyano heard about her sister again, and her eyes were even somewhat shocked.

She thought of the intelligence the organization had told her. She had always thought it was just something the organization made up. She never expected that there was actually an organization called "Brotherhood".

"So you're one of the Brotherhood... My sister, you're the one who rescued her?"

“That organization was made up by my friend. Your sister is doing very well now, so there’s no need to worry about your organization finding out,” Conan’s lips twitched, and then he gave a simple explanation. “However, you can ask about these things anytime you want after you leave here, so you’d better hurry up now.”

As he spoke, he quickly imprinted Shiho Miyano's fingerprint onto the gel mold on his hand: "What secrets about the organization are there in the research institute? What information about the drug you studied that turned me into this? And what coded information are there? Please tell me in the shortest possible terms."

Seeing Conan's actions, Shiho Miyano knew that now was not the right time to discuss how her sister had been rescued.

Upon hearing the news that her sister was still alive, Shiho Miyano's will to live was immediately aroused.

Between the possibility that Conan is deceiving her and the possibility that her sister has been rescued, she is more inclined to believe the latter.

Without much hesitation, Shiho Miyano told Conan all of this.

Having obtained this information, Conan did not linger in the room any longer.

Before returning through the garbage chute, Conan looked at Shiho Miyano with a serious expression: "Please wait patiently for a moment, someone will come to rescue you soon."

Chapter 164: Chapter 162: Sherry or Vodka?

As darkness fell, Gin was now in the monitoring room, reviewing all the surveillance footage within the research institute.

Although everything was normal inside the research institute and the security measures had not been triggered, he still had a bad feeling.

Compared to his past missions, this task of monitoring Sherry and ultimately killing her was utterly insignificant.

However, he could not calm down whenever he thought about the failure he suffered in the mission to Miyano Akemi more than a month ago, and the things he encountered in the following two weeks while investigating that mysterious organization.

He even wanted to request the organization to deploy a team of elite snipers to ambush people in various directions around the research institute, lock onto all suspicious individuals approaching the institute, and prepare enough explosives to blow the institute to pieces.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get a sniper from the organization. He only managed to get a team of junior combat members from within the organization, because it seemed that the organization didn't need such a large force for this mission. He and Vodka, two important members, were enough.

However, as long as they can ensure that no clues or incriminating evidence are left behind, the organization will provide them with enough gunpowder.

He has now placed those bombs in various locations throughout the research institute, and he will detonate them at the slightest disturbance.

He admitted that, despite his extensive combat experience, he was disturbed by this inexplicably appearing organization.

Having already failed once, he wouldn't allow any more surprises this time.

Will you come this time?

As Gin was pondering this, the monitor screen in front of him seemed to flicker slightly.

Although such situations often occur during surveillance, they usually happen only occasionally. But just now, it seems that this situation occurred simultaneously in the footage from four or five cameras.

Even knowing it was most likely a coincidence, Gin's gaze still turned serious.

He looked at several grassroots personnel who had been transferred from other parts of the organization.

"Did anything go wrong just now?"

"No...no, everything is normal right now," the programmer being stared at by Gin seemed a little nervous, perhaps because Gin's cold gaze was too intimidating.

They originally thought they were just here to do some normal work, but how did they suddenly end up with such a ruthless person?

Is it really necessary to expend so much effort to prevent something from happening when it's just dealing with a researcher who is unwilling to work for the organization?

Gin seemed unsatisfied with this answer. After a moment of silence, he gave instructions to Vodka.

"Vodka, go to the room where Sherry is being held and check on her condition. Let me know if there's anything wrong, and remember to stay alert."

Vodka sensed his older brother's attitude, nodded, and quickly walked towards the gas chamber.

Gin watched Vodka leave, then turned his attention back to the surveillance cameras.

Among the dozens of surveillance cameras, no one appeared, but the eerie feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Something is wrong!

Gin suddenly noticed that there were several surveillance cameras on the way from the monitoring room to the gas chamber. Vodka had been out for a minute, but he had not appeared on any of the surveillance cameras!

Someone had infiltrated the research institute sometime earlier, but they found nothing!

Gin's cold gaze fell on the others in the monitoring room, as if he wanted an explanation from them.

His hand was already on the pistol at his waist. At this moment, he even suspected that among the lower-level members of the organization was an undercover agent sent by the "Brotherhood".

With their lives threatened, these programmers were sweating profusely as they investigated where the monitoring systems were malfunctioning.

He contacted Vodka directly using his walkie-talkie.

"Big brother? Is something the matter? I've arrived at the gas chamber entrance. Everything has been normal along the way; I haven't noticed anything strange." On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Vodka seemed completely oblivious to the problem.

Gin's gaze was fixed on the surveillance footage, which contained no trace of vodka, without the slightest hesitation.

"Once we confirm whether Shirley is still in the gas chamber or not, we'll kill her immediately."

Vodka on the other end of the walkie-talkie seemed to be taken aback for a moment, not expecting his older brother to suddenly change his mind, but Vodka did not hesitate and quickly agreed.

"Shirley is still in the gas chamber. I'm going to kill her right now."

Gin put down his walkie-talkie, and at that moment, the programmers who had felt threatened with death finally found the problem.

"I...I found it! These cameras have switched back to footage from ten minutes ago. I'll switch the surveillance footage back now," a programmer said somewhat flusteredly.

"Our adversary is a highly skilled hacker; we're trying to find out exactly how they managed to infiltrate the research institute's internal network..."

"Turn on the surveillance cameras in Sherry's gas chamber," Gin commanded coldly.

With such a huge blunder, this group of useless programmers were already dead in his eyes.

He had originally wanted Sherry to die in silence, but now it seems that the "Brotherhood" that had disappeared for more than a month has really reappeared.

He now wants to see Shirley die on the surveillance footage with his own eyes.

However, when those people frantically turned on the surveillance camera to the gas chamber, all they saw was an empty gas chamber.

Neither Sherry nor Vodka could be seen at all!

Gin's breathing immediately became somewhat disordered.

In that instant, he realized that Vodka was probably in trouble.

The person who just spoke to him wasn't Vodka at all; it was one of the Brotherhood members!

Just then, the sound of "vodka" came from the walkie-talkie again.

"Brother, I've already killed that woman Shirley. Should I bring her body back?"

"How is Vodka now?" Gin gripped the walkie-talkie tightly in his hand.

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie came through after a while, but the voice had changed again.

"As expected of Gin, we were being extremely careful, yet you still managed to detect us before we could retreat..."

Even though more than a month has passed, Gin will never forget that voice.

"Since your organization doesn't want someone as talented as Sherry, our Hasasin Brotherhood will take her in."

As if remembering something, the voice quickly added something else.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the vodka is fine now, but your distillery always likes to play with bombs, so I put it next to the bombs you planted and set a five-minute countdown for it to explode."

"Our mission is complete and we're preparing to retreat. So, are you going to chase after us to get Sherry back, or go rescue your companions?"
