Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Ai Haibara skillfully loaded the gun.

Conan's last glimmer of hope vanished; that crisp cocking sound was definitely not a fake gun.

Where were we?

"Oh, right, APTX-4869 is the name of the medicine you're taking!"

At this moment, Ai Haibara appears to Conan like a little devil.

"How do you know all this? How do you know so much?"

Conan had a vague idea in his mind.

"Oh my, hasn't the famous detective guessed it yet?"

Conan remained silent, glaring at Ai Haibara through gritted teeth.

Ai Haibara said slowly, "I took that kind of drug, just like you."

Conan thought to himself, "Just as I guessed."

No wonder Ai Haibara acts so maturely and doesn't go to school; it turns out she, like him, took a drug that made her smaller!

What's your code name?

"Looks like you're not completely clueless!" Ai Haibara glanced outside the alley to make sure no one was watching. "Guess how Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri are doing now?"

Ai Haibara did not reveal her code name, but instead asked Conan a question.

Upon hearing this, Conan instantly lost his composure, and Ai Haibara's unspoken meaning was self-evident.

He didn't care that a gun was pointed at him anymore, and rushed out in one stride.

Ai Haibara then strolled back to the Kitagawa Exorcism Office.

Conan ran back to the Mouri Detective Agency as fast as he could. He opened the door and shouted, "Ran!"

But the office was empty, and Xiaolan's bag was on the table, indicating that they had already returned from the Mihana Hotel.

He ran upstairs again, but still couldn't find anyone.

There were no signs of intrusion inside the house.

Conan's heart sank to the bottom.

Wait, if Ai Haibara is a member of the Black Organization, then Taki Kitagawa must know that.

Conan walked to the window, looked across the street, gritted his teeth, and ran out.

He rushed straight into the office on the second floor, where Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Taki Kitagawa were chatting animatedly.

Conan froze on the spot.

Ran saw it was Conan and looked behind him. "Conan, you're back! Where's Ai? Isn't she with you?"

Conan didn't understand what Ran meant at all, nor did he understand the current situation.

His head is buzzing right now.

"Brother Mori, this bottle of wine is for you!" Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan, got up, and took a bottle of wine from the cabinet in his desk.

Looking at the bottle, Kogoro Mori knew this liquor was expensive. He took it and exclaimed, "Tequila, Kitagawa, this isn't cheap, is it?!"

"Fortunately, I don't usually drink much, so I gave it to Brother Mori."

"Then I'll gladly accept." Kogoro Mouri rubbed his hands excitedly. He usually drank very little spirits, mostly beer.

When Conan heard "tequila," he was momentarily stunned. He was absolutely certain that Kitagawa Taki knew the code name of the Black Organization member who had been killed in the bombing earlier that day.

Chapter 114 Vermouth: I'm just tired of acting.

"I am back!"

Ai Haibara opened the door and walked in.

Conan saw Ai Haibara, turned around and walked outside. As he passed by Ai Haibara, he whispered, "Haibara, come out for a moment."

Ai Haibara knew that Conan must be completely confused, so she followed him out.

Conan walked into the stairwell, his face grim, and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Ai Haibara said coldly, "It's just a small warning to you."

Conan was confused. "A warning?"

"Do you think that Hideaki Nakajima will survive until tomorrow?" Ai Haibara squinted, then changed her mind, "No, it should be tonight!"

Conan's expression darkened.

Ai Haibara continued, "The organization won't let him go. I'm sure you went to the cocktail bar, right? How is it? Is it still there? Was it burned down or bombed?"

"After saying all this, you should understand what I mean, right? Your recklessness will plunge your family and friends into an abyss of no return!"

Conan gritted his teeth and said, "If you're part of the organization, why have you shrunk?"

Ai Haibara still didn't answer, but said, "You don't need to know that. By the way, the organization sent people to your house twice already, just to confirm whether you were dead or not."

"What?" Conan's heart skipped a beat. He had no idea his house had been burgled.

"Don't worry, I'll change the investigation results to show that he is dead."

Ai Haibara's words reassured Conan a little.

"To tell you the truth, the organization doesn't know yet that the drug can shrink people, and I don't want to expose it because of your recklessness."

After saying that, Ai Haibara prepared to go back to her room.

Conan quickly asked, "Wait, what are the names of those two guys who shrunk me?"

"Gin and Vodka, the one with long silver hair is called Gin, and the big guy is called Vodka."

Ai Haibara ignored Conan and went back inside.

Why do these two names sound so familiar?

Conan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that this was the name of the drink that Kogoro Mouri drank last night.

Could Ai Haibara be making this up? It doesn't seem like it!

Conan was alone in the hallway, pondering Ai Haibara's words.

Today, although his identity was exposed, he also learned a lot about the organization from Ai Haibara.

Especially those two guys who hit him with clubs.

However, Ai Haibara remains shrouded in mystery.

Also, there's Kitagawa Taki!

He must have known Ai Haibara's true identity to help her cover it up.

So what role does Kitagawa Taki play in this? Could he also be a member of the Black Organization?

Is it dangerous for Ran to continue seeing Kitagawa Taki?

Thinking about this, Conan felt a headache coming on.

He increasingly felt the sheer size of the Black Organization; what he had encountered so far was merely the tip of the iceberg.

……

"Take a look! This is what their deal is about."

Kitagawa Taki opened the black leather suitcase and spoke to Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai.

As for Kogoro Mouri and Ran, they had already gone back.

"Floppy disks?" Ai Haibara took out the two floppy disks from inside.

Kitagawa Taki guessed, "It's probably some kind of information."

Ai Haibara inserted the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive. "We'll know once we take a look."

Upon opening the file, I found it contained a list and detailed information.

Ai Haibara's gaze swept quickly across the screen. "These are the most talented programmers in the world."

"The organization definitely wants them to be used for their own purposes, to conduct certain research!"

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Do you know what kind of research it is?"

Ai Haibara shook her head and said, "The organization's internal management is very strict. I only know about my own research."

As for Akemi Miyano, who was an outsider, it was even less likely that she would know.

"Forget it, there's no point in worrying about it."

Kitagawa Taki took the floppy disk and put it back in his suitcase.

Akemi Miyano smiled and said, "Taki-kun is right."

Her greatest wish right now is that her peaceful life, as it is now, will not be disrupted.

Kitagawa Taki then asked, "How did it go with threatening Conan today?"

"Intimidating Conan?" Akemi Miyano was unaware of this.

Kitagawa Taki gave her a brief explanation.

"You guys are so mean!" Miyano Akemi couldn't help but laugh.

Although Conan looked pitiful, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Sister, this was entirely his idea!"

Ai Haibara tried to distance herself from the situation, but the smile on her lips betrayed her.

Ai Haibara can be quite cunning at times!

Kitagawa Taki smiled and shook his head, asking, "You didn't tell her much about yourself, did you?"

"No, I only said I was part of the organization."

"That's good."
