Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

But over this period of time, especially after Zhiyong brought Xiao Ai to her.

Haibara Mikoto genuinely became good to Tomoyuki.

Of course, it's possible to achieve such results so quickly.

Haibara Mi's rapid change in attitude towards Chiyu was due to the influence of the illusion.

During this period of time.

To ensure that Ai Haibara would follow him wholeheartedly, Zhiyong would use the illusion function every day.

Of course, the effect is also very significant.

While illusions cannot truly control people's hearts, they can slowly influence them.

Over time, it can also have the effect of controlling people's minds.

“It’s not good for Ai to stay at home all the time. People will become suspicious of her. I think it’s better to let Ai go to school.”

"Go to school? I don't want to go to school."

"Actually, Ai, you didn't have many friends growing up. Going to school is a way to interact with people and make more friends."

“But I’m still a child, and going to college will make me too conspicuous,” Ai replied.

Perhaps because Akemi Miyano didn't die, Ai Haibara isn't as aloof as she was in the original series.

"I didn't say you should go to university."

"Does this mean I should go to high school?"

"You look about six or seven years old, so of course you should go to a school that's appropriate for your age!"

"It's age-appropriate, you're not going to make me go to elementary school, are you?"

“Yes, it’s elementary school. I heard from Xiaomei that you didn’t have a good childhood. Now that you’ve become a child again, you can relive your childhood. Isn’t that great?”

Haibara Miya happily said, "Yes, Ai, I think this is the best way too. It won't expose your identity. Conan is just a first-grade elementary school student right now."

"But, but..." Ai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister and brother-in-law."

Looking at the well-behaved Ai, Zhiyong felt a little unreal.

Is this really the aloof and cunning little girl in front of me?

Did Ai Haibara get the wrong script?

"Then let's be in the same class as Conan. I need a lab rat for my research on the antidote," Ai replied.

So that's how it is. No wonder Ai didn't react much to starting elementary school.

"Conan! This isn't good. He's still a child." Haibara Mi said in confusion.

"Xiao Mei, Conan isn't a child. He was fed a drug developed by Ai Haibara by Gin, which turned him into a child. His original name was Shinichi Kudo."

"Shinichi Kudo, that famous high school detective?" Haibara asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's him." Zhiyong nodded affirmatively.

"No wonder he doesn't seem like a child. It turns out he really isn't a child," Haibara Mi exclaimed.

"Ai, Conan and three other kids have formed a Junior Detective League. If they invite you, you can join if you want. However, if they give you a detective badge, hand it over to me when you get back. That badge has a tracking function and might even be able to eavesdrop, so be careful."

"The Junior Detective Club? That sounds interesting," Ai replied with a smile.

"Also, Conan actually has the attributes of a grim reaper, so you have to be careful when you go out with him."

"What should I be careful about?" Ai asked curiously.

"When Conan goes out, there are bound to be deaths and injuries. It's like a curse."

"What does it mean?"

"Whenever I travel or go out with him, I will definitely encounter a murder case or an assault case. In short, I will definitely encounter a case. This has not changed so far. Of course, the good thing is that although his curse has injured the people around him, no one has died yet."

"Is it really that amazing?" Haibara Mi asked in surprise.

"It's true. Inspector Megure always thought Kogoro Mouri was a jinx, so he would always be by his side whenever a case occurred. But before Conan came to the agency, Kogoro Mouri rarely encountered anything like this."

"So, is Kogoro Mouri's sleeping Kogoro also because of Conan?" Ai asked.

"That's right. Every time, Conan uses a tranquilizer dart to anesthetize Kogoro Mouri and then uses Kogoro Mouri's voice to make deductions. Conan thinks no one knows, but I suspect that Kogoro Mouri already knows, but just hasn't exposed him."

Ai asked curiously, "Isn't Kogoro Mouri supposed to be a bumbling detective?"

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Ten years ago, Kogoro Mouri was an excellent policeman. Even if his reasoning ability wasn't good, how could he not know when he was shot with a tranquilizer dart? It might be possible once or twice, but how could he not notice after it happened so many times?"

“That’s true,” Haibara Miya said, puzzled.

……

Chapter 198 It's still not safe.

Zhiyong added, "I suspect that Kogoro Mouri also has other identities. He might be a government official or a member of some organization. Therefore, you must be careful around him in the future. Don't treat him like a clueless detective, or you'll be the ones who suffer."

"I see."

Although Ai didn't know whether Zhiyong was telling the truth or not, she still believed that Zhiyong wouldn't be wrong.

Haibara Mi said worriedly, "If Conan is really that dangerous, it's best not to have any contact with him, lest Ai gets hurt."

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "It doesn't really matter, but Ai, you must remember not to reveal your identity, and don't let Conan know that you know he is Shinichi Kudo."

"Why?" Ai asked curiously.

Zhiyong scoffed, "Shinichi Kudo has probably been overhyped by the media, which has made him extremely arrogant. Especially now, because of Gin, he's turned into a child, so when he hears about the organization, his IQ drops to negative. If he had the ability, that would be fine, but he thinks he can defeat Gin and the others with his reasoning skills? Isn't that wishful thinking?"

Ai asked in great surprise, "What? You defeated Gin by reasoning?"

Ai was somewhat aware of Gin's strength.

After all, she had worked in the organization and was a person with a code name.

It's wishful thinking for Shinichi Kudo to defeat Gin through deduction.

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "He has always wanted to rely on his intelligence to find evidence of Gin's crimes, capture Gin and the others, and then find the antidote. Although Dr. Agasa designed some equipment for him, it would be a powerful weapon against ordinary people, but against someone like Gin, it would be suicide."

Although Ai had heard of Shinichi Kudo, everyone said he was very smart, and even her older sister, Mii Haibara, had praised him.

I really didn't expect Shinichi Kudo to want to deal with Gin like this. Ai doesn't know whether to call him smart or stupid.

Ai Haibara was speechless and said, "The organization's strength is beyond his comprehension. If he could defeat the organization with just these things, then the organization wouldn't have existed for so many years."

"Yes, but he thought it was possible, so he desperately tried to find out. When he encountered members of the organization, he wanted to rush at them, but with his terrible fighting skills, that would be suicide. If your identity is exposed, it will implicate you."

"I will be careful."

"You need to remember this. I'm not joking with you. The organization has already attracted the attention of various countries, such as the public security bureau of the island nation, as well as the FBI and CIA of the United States. Conan's reckless behavior will definitely attract the attention of major organizations as well. If they investigate him and find out that he is Shinichi Kudo, your identity will be exposed if you are not careful."

"Ai, please be careful in the future, and don't make me worry."

"I will, sister, brother-in-law."

"By the way, some time ago, Conan turned back into Shinichi Kudo."

"Brother-in-law, really? Do you know how he turned back?" Ai asked excitedly.

"Of course, that time Conan caught a cold, and Hattori Heiji, who happened to be in Osaka, gave Conan some baijiu (Chinese liquor) to drink. Then, after an hour or two, Conan returned to being Shinichi Kudo. However, his recovery time was very short, probably only ten or twenty minutes, and then he shrunk back into Conan."

"Bai Gan? Is that the kind of Chinese liquor called baijiu?" Xiao Ai asked doubtfully.

"Yes."

"Could this wine serve as a temporary cure?"

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "It should be impossible. After Conan turned back into Conan that time, Conan thought he hadn't drunk enough baijiu, so he drank another bottle of baijiu, but there was no change."

Xiao Ai nodded and said, "It seems that only by studying the ingredients of baijiu can I know the reason."

"If you want to do research, tell me what research equipment you need, and I'll get it for you."

"Okay, let me think about it, I'll give you a form."

Zhiyong then introduced Xiao Ai to some other people.

People she might meet in the future, such as Professor Agasa, Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Ayumi, etc.

Let Ai understand this in her heart.

In the future, when interacting with them, Ai will be able to keep things in mind.

Zhiyong still has some things to do.

Although the research institute was destroyed today.

But Zhiyong still remembers that Xiao Ai was first exposed because that person had seen what Xiao Ai looked like when she was a child.

His name seems to be Pisco, and he's a veteran member of the Black Organization. He became a successful entrepreneur by leveraging the organization's resources.

Pisco recognized Ai immediately upon seeing her and even captured her.

If Pisco hadn't been filmed while committing the murder and the video of him killing hadn't been uploaded online...

Therefore, the organization's boss ordered Gin to kill Pisco.

This meant that Pisco didn't even have a chance to reveal Ai's secret of shrinking before Gin killed him.

That's why the secret that made Ai shrink back then wasn't revealed.

Now that Zhiyong has taken in Xiao Ai, he's about to resolve this trouble.

Otherwise, if things change and the organization finds out...

That would be very troublesome.

After all, Zhiyong didn't know much about that organization.

Although Zhiyong was not afraid of that organization, he did not want to cause too much trouble for it.

"Ai, do you know the true identity of the person named Pisco within the organization?"

Although Zhiyong knew that Pisco was an entrepreneur, he did not remember the man's true identity.

If Ai knew, Zhiyong would eliminate her right now.

But if Ai doesn't know, then Tomoyuki can only wait until later, when things happen, to deal with it.
