The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Naoto Hayashi thought for a moment and said, "I have some special intelligence channels."

Ai Haibara sneered: "You've planted a spy within the organization, haven't you? I've heard that there are a lot of spies in the organization—the FBI, the CIA, the Japanese Public Security Bureau… Gin is always arresting them, but spies keep popping up. Which organization are you from?"

"Heh, I suppose you're here for the special effects of that drug? I advise you to give up. Currently, the lethality rate of that drug is close to one hundred percent. People within the organization even consider it a poison that kills without leaving a trace."

In her view, the fact that Naoto Hayashi was able to intercept her accurately before the Black Organization and deliver her to Professor Agasa must mean that he had made preparations in advance.

They've figured out all their intelligence, haven't they?

Lin Zhiren felt that communication was a bit difficult, so he decided to drop a bombshell: "I saw your sister. I'm sorry, I couldn't save her in the end."

Ai Haibara suddenly stood up, staring intently at Naoto Hayashi: "You mean... my sister?"

“Ah, that’s right, Akemi Miyano.” Naoto Hayashi leaned back on the sofa and said, “She should be your older sister, right?”

“When I arrived, she had already been shot in the heart… but in the end, she hoped that her sister could live well in her place.”

Without a sound, Ai Haibara was already in tears.

Her layers of strong defense had completely vanished, and she had now become a little girl who could only cry.

"Why...why..."

Ai Haibara wiped away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed, and she couldn't stop them.

Lin Zhiren sighed, took the beetle-shaped gold ornament out of his pocket, and handed it over.

"This was left by your sister. Please keep it safe and don't damage it."

"...My sister?" Ai Haibara took the beetle-shaped gold ornament blankly, intending to say that she had never seen her sister wear such a style of jewelry before.

But as soon as Ai Haibara got her hands on the golden beetle, her body trembled.

She could feel a warmth emanating from the beetle, the same as the scent emanating from her sister!

She held the golden beetle in trembling hands, and in her mind's eye, she seemed to see her sister appear before her, with her usual gentle smile on her face, gently embracing her.

In that instant, all the grievances, sorrow, pain, and confusion that had been building up in Ai Haibara's heart erupted.

She burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Professor Agasa, who was chatting online, peeked over, hesitated for a long time, and finally withdrew.

I really don't know how to comfort you.

He's been single all this time because of his own abilities, so he wouldn't understand this.

After crying for a long time, Ai Haibara finally felt much better.

She trembled as she put the golden beetle around her neck, feeling as if her sister was always by her side, which made her feel incredibly at ease.

She quickly wiped away her tears, raised her head, and looked at Naoto Hayashi with a firm gaze.

"Tell me, which organization are you? I can join you! Just because you brought back my sister's belongings, I'll do anything for you!"

Naoto Hayashi is numb.

No, what's wrong with your thought process?

So you can't avoid mentioning a certain mysterious organization, right?

Unfortunately, Ai Haibara wouldn't think that way.

If you know so much information about the Black Organization, who would believe you if you said you didn't have an organization supporting you?

Do you think you can uncover the organization's secrets all by yourself? Do you think Gin and the other executives are just figureheads?

Moreover, she already knew that Gin and Vodka were the ones who silenced her sister.

If these two were involved, the deceased would never have had a chance to leave a last message; they would die instantly.

The man in front of him, Naoto Hayashi, not only heard his sister's last words, but also took her belongings from her!

What does this show?

This means he definitely fought Gin and Vodka head-on!

Even if we didn't win, at least we bought some time...

Regardless of his motives or the organization supporting him, Ai Haibara owes him a debt of gratitude for this alone.

Even if he is another black-clad organization, I'll accept it!

Naoto Hayashi looked at Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara looked at Naoto Hayashi.

Lin Zhiren couldn't hold back any longer, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

You can't get through this, right? You just have to have an organization, right?

After a moment's thought, a dangerous smile appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Our organization is called 'The Emperor'..."

Chapter 61 The Imperial Organization

Ai Haibara's pupils contracted slightly.

Imperial Organization!

What a boastful tone!

This organization is clearly not an ordinary one, given that it dares to use such a name.

Naoto Hayashi glanced in Professor Agasa's direction and whispered, "The organization's affairs are top secret. No one but you may reveal them, or the consequences... you know."

Ai Haibara nodded slightly, her expression solemn.

I get it, isn't it just like the Black Organization? Explosions and silencing.

One death means one household registration.

Professor Agasa is a good person; we shouldn't implicate him.

Naoto Hayashi made up a story: "Our organization's headquarters are in Europe and America. However, we've also infiltrated high-ranking police officers and some large corporations in Japan."

“Although the organization is powerful, it also has several formidable enemies, led by your ‘Dragon Factory’ and ‘Assassin Alliance,’ as well as the FBI and CIA of the United States. Therefore, to prevent leaks of secrets, you must never mention the organization's name at any time. Also, your direct contact is me, understand?”

Ai Haibara nodded again.

At the same time, they were secretly terrified.

She knew about her own "winery," the FBI, and the CIA—they were all enormous entities.

I've never heard of the other "Assassin's Alliance," but the name sounds pretty sinister.

If the enemies of one's own organization are so powerful, then how powerful is the organization itself?

It's terrifying to even think about!

However, she also had a question in her mind, asking, "What is the goal of our organization?"

"A goal?" Naoto Hayashi smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out later."

Let me think about how to write it.

"Your current task is to continue researching the drug that shrinks people, disguise yourself as a primary school student to avoid the distillery's subsequent search for you, and maintain good relations with Conan and the others."

Lin Zhiren said that after you calm down for a few months, you will gradually realize that this so-called "imperial organization" is a complete fabrication.

Since you won't believe anything I say anyway, I might as well let you investigate on your own.

Also, spend more time with Conan and shift your thinking from the black side to the red side. Don't always look like you're about to do something bad.

Ai Haibara was startled: "The organization... has its eye on Kudo? They want to study his body?"

Lin Zhiren was a little annoyed. Why do you always think the worst of people? Is that the evil image you have of me?

He shook his head and said, "No, what we value is his intelligence."

Ai Haibara suddenly realized: "I understand now. You want to bring him into the 'Monarchy' organization as well? Use his identity as a detective to gradually get in touch with the upper echelons?"

Yes, yes, yes.

You're absolutely right.

Lin Zhiren glanced sideways at the cunning little girl, utterly speechless.

Say whatever you want, I'll be a dog if I try to explain anymore!

At this moment, Ai Haibara felt both fear and a sense of relief.

What terrified her was that she had just escaped from the tiger's den of the winery, only to fall into the wolf's den of the imperial organization;

As for Xin An, he knew that he had once again aligned himself with a powerful force... Although it was also Black, it seemed to be more humane than the brewery.

Even if they were using conciliatory methods to gain control over her, Ai Haibara had to admit that they had indeed found her weakness.

She is now all alone, penniless, and her body has shrunk. If she doesn't attach herself to this imperial organization, she will probably have a hard time escaping the distillery's pursuit.

"Then I'll join this organization temporarily and observe them secretly for a while... I suppose they also need my research capabilities as a medical genius."

Ai Haibara regained her composure.

Seeing that she was no longer as nervous as before, Naoto Hayashi smiled and said, "Do you need me to help you enroll in a school? Teitan Elementary School, in the same class as Conan. You can find an opportunity to talk to him about your situation, form an alliance, and fight against the Black Organization together."

Ai Haibara glanced at him and said, "Thank you, but no need. Professor Agasa has already arranged my enrollment. As for Conan, I'll handle that myself. Don't interfere."

Lin Zhiren shrugged and said, "Whatever you say."

Suddenly, Naoto Hayashi remembered something and advised, "If you don't want to be discovered by the Black Organization for being too conspicuous, you'd better not act abnormally. Just act like a primary school student."

Haibara chuckled and said, "What you need to warn is that arrogant famous detective."

"Let's leave it at that for now." Naoto Hayashi stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Haibara called out to him, hesitatingly asking, "Um... how do I apply for research funding?"

Lin Zhiren's face darkened.

Do you really think I'm some big organization? Applying for research funding?

My three melons and two dates are not enough to bring you any trouble.

Look at that model worker Gin in your organization, running around making money all day long, yet he still can't fill your bottomless pit of scientific research.

Besides, what would I need that shrinking drug for? I'm a Soul Devourer; I probably won't age in my entire life...

Naoto Hayashi said irritably, "As for funding, we don't have any right now. You can borrow Professor Agasa's research equipment for now. It's a bit rudimentary, but it's usable."

Ai Haibara's face also darkened.

She didn't feel that the new organization was short of money, but rather felt a sense of disparity, thinking, "I'm so awesome, yet you guys don't value me."

No money? No money to research eggs?

Tired, let's destroy it.

Ai Haibara didn't bother to think about it anymore. With the equipment here at Professor Agasa's place that had virtually no connection to drug development, how could she possibly think of researching the Black Organization's shrinking drug? Dream on.

You can have anything in your dreams.

Ai Haibara decides to lie down and slack off.

We'll talk about R&D when the new organization starts to value us.

As for now... let's give Conan a good scare...

A dangerous glint flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes.

Naoto Hayashi bid farewell to Professor Agasa.

Professor Agasa sighed, "Ai... sigh, I originally named her 'Ai Haibara,' but she insisted on calling herself 'Ai Haibara,' the 'Ai' in 'sadness,' it's not cute at all..."

Lin Zhiren smiled and said, "Doctor, thank you for taking care of her. I will come to see you often in the future."

Professor Agasa laughed and said, "It's not hard work at all. Ai is such a cute and sensible child. I feel like I have gained a granddaughter."

After saying goodbye to Professor Agasa, Naoto Hayashi drove to the Mouri Detective Agency again.

I've been slacking off for several days now, and I wonder if Mr. Mori has any cases piling up.

Naoto Hayashi quickly arrived at the office building. Just as he was about to go up, he saw a woman wearing a mask, a hat, and a turtleneck coat walking towards him.

She approached and asked in a low voice, "Are you Detective Mori's assistant, Hayashi Naoto?"

Lin Zhiren was taken aback, then nodded and said, "It's me, and you are...?"
