The boy soldier next to the famous detective

"Of course I'm curious, but since Jonah didn't tell us, we should show him basic respect and not let our curiosity make Jonah a person who breaks his promise."

"Since Jonah didn't tell us the assassin's identity, it means they had an agreement. It's wrong for us to do this."

Seeing Ai Haibara speaking so eloquently, Conan Edogawa stopped, turned around, squinted at her, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"If that's the case, why did you follow us? If you respect Jonah, leave now."

"I was summoned by you to monitor you and make sure you don't do anything to betray Jonah. What does that have to do with where Jonah is going?"

Looking innocently at Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara raised her finger and pointed ahead, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"If you don't dare go up now, you'll be left behind by the Great Detective!"

"You wretched, treacherous woman! All you know how to do is deceive Jonah!"

"I will also make medicine, but if you feel that's not a good thing either, I can stop."

"...Jonah left so carelessly, was he really going to see that assassin?"

No longer arguing with Ai Haibara, Conan Edogawa looked at Jonah's small figure ahead, somewhat puzzled by Jonah's movements.

But soon, after turning two more corners, Conan Edogawa stood there in confusion, realizing that he could no longer find Jonah.

"Is Jonah really that good at hiding?"

"Jonah said he used to be a young soldier skilled in mountain warfare, so it's normal that he's good at concealment. So, do you still want to look for him?"

"Forget it, since we haven't caught up, it'll be difficult to find them anyway. Damn it, we had a chance to find out who the assassin was today."

Frustrated, Conan Edogawa grabbed his hair. Unbeknownst to him, Ai Haibara, who was following behind him, put her hand in her pocket and gently turned off the detective badge that had been in signal transmission mode.

Hidden ahead, Jonah saw the signal source on his watch face had lost its signal. He knew that Ai Haibara was telling him that Conan Edogawa had given up tracking him, so he quickened his pace and continued walking towards the place he had agreed to meet with Korn.

Jonah was surprised when he received a text message from Ai Haibara after leaving home in the morning.

He never expected that Conan Edogawa would want to follow him and then find the "good guy" who gave him guns and bullets.

Cohen is an assassin, and Jonah knows that concealing his identity is very important to him, so naturally he won't let Conan Edogawa have his way.

"Sorry I'm a little late."

At the agreed meeting place, Jonah saw Cohen dressed exactly the same as the last time they met, and nodded apologetically without explaining why he was late.

"It's alright, you were very careful, that's a good habit."

Shaking his head, Cohen had been observing Jonah's movements since he entered the residential area, and was very satisfied with the level of professionalism Jonah displayed.

Cohen really wanted to recommend Jonah to Gin, but considering the strange atmosphere within the organization, he decided against it.

"You told me we were running out of bullets, what did you do?"

Upon meeting Jonah, Cohen asked the question that had been bothering him the most: the number of bullets he had prepared for Jonah was not excessive, but it wasn't insignificant either.

In such a short time, Jonah said he was almost out of money.

Cohen even used the organization's intelligence channels to search through all the murder cases that had occurred in Tokyo during this period, but he couldn't find a single one that matched Jonah's ammunition consumption.

"fighting."

"Okay, the same bullets as last time, is that alright?"

Seeing that Jonah didn't seem keen on discussing the specifics of bullet consumption, Cohen didn't press further. Their conversation was quite interesting; although they were both curious about each other, neither would cross the line. Whenever the other showed signs of wariness, they would immediately back down.

It's a wonderful friendship, but both Jonah and Cohen are happy with their current situation.

"This is a gift I prepared for you, Mr. Oshima."

When Jonah last visited Cohen's safe house, he found it to be very clean, with no decorations other than basic living necessities. However, there were a few Yoko Okino CDs scattered around the CD player on the living room cabinet.

Jonah speculated that Cohen might be a fan of Yoko Okino, so before coming this time, he specifically asked Kogoro Mouri for a CD of Yoko Okino's latest songs signed by her.

Although he felt a little heartbroken, Kogoro Mouri remembered how Jonah had been protecting Ran Mouri day and night all this time, so he pretended to be generous and gave the CD to Jonah.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

With a blink, Cohen took the disc from Jonah's hand, glancing at his own unkempt cabinet, and realized what Jonah was thinking.

Feeling a little touched, Cohen didn't say that he wasn't actually a fan of Yoko Okino, and that these CDs were just things that Chianti had brought over to listen to when she last came to his safe house and then forgot to take with her.

"I'd like to give it to Chianti if I get the chance; she seems to really like these kinds of things."

"Oh, by the way, I've also prepared that thing you wanted."

After placing the bullets in Jonah's backpack, Cohen bent down and took a small package from under the coffee table, handing it to Jonah.

"This is the C4 explosive you requested. It weighs 100g. Please be very careful when using it."

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Oshima."

Jonah's eyes lit up slightly as he placed the C4 explosives in his backpack and looked at Cohen gratefully.

"Mr. Oshima, is there really nothing I can do to help you?"

Cohen didn't ask Jonah for money after replenishing his ammunition and equipment twice, which made Jonah feel indebted to him and want to do something to repay Cohen's kindness.

"Could you get me some autographs from celebrities?"

Blinking, Cohen thought for a moment and realized he really didn't know what Jonah could do for him. But he knew that if he didn't ask Jonah for help, Jonah wouldn't dare to ask him again next time.

He cherished his unusual friendship with Jonah and didn't want this situation to occur.

Cohen's gaze swept over the autographed CD Jonah had given him, and suddenly an idea struck him.

Since Jonah was able to get autographed CDs from celebrities, it means that his family must have some connection with those celebrities.

"Okay, I understand."

Nodding, Jonah thought that Kogoro Mouri often received invitations from TV stations to participate in programs, and he felt that this matter did not seem too difficult.

"By the way, Mr. Oshima, can you get your hands on a sniper rifle?"

"...I'm a professional at this, but I can't give it to you."

"oh."
