My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Compared to this news, even her father's name seemed insignificant, and Ai Haibara felt a chill run through her body.

"This is truly something I never expected."

Looking at the screen in front of her, Ai Haibara muttered to herself. She had never imagined such a scenario, as it was simply too insane.

Still wary and not entirely convinced, Ai Haibara took a deep breath. If what that person said was true, her father might be even darker than she imagined.

Twenty years ago...

Twenty years ago must have been a pivotal moment. Judging from those words, it was likely that the father of the current organization's BOSS was engaged in a battle with the current power grabber, Kudo Yusaku.

The final outcome of that battle might be that his own father, who was the organization's boss, was defeated, and Kudo Yusaku became the victor, ruling the organization as it is today.

Ai Haibara was already imagining the scene from twenty years ago: a night when torrential rain poured down from the sky and a cold wind swept through a corner of the city.

Raindrops mingled with blood on the ground as Conan Edogawa and Yusaku Kudo, fathers of Conan, engaged in their final battle in that corner.

Twenty years ago, Conan Edogawa was ultimately defeated by Yusaku Kudo and fled to another place to plot a comeback.

At this moment in Beika Town, Conan is unaware that within Ai Haibara's mind, he had already fought a bloody battle with his father before he was even born.

Meanwhile, at the brewery base, Ai Haibara seemed to understand something as she recalled the information given to her by the mysterious hacker who called himself a craftsman.

That false information was probably intentionally designed to mislead us.

He wondered why the name Conan Edogawa sounded so familiar; it turned out he had heard of it before.

That hacker who called himself a craftsman seems to have said that Shinichi Kudo has now changed his name to Conan Edogawa, right?

If the twin theory is true, how could Shinichi Kudo, still a high school student, have engaged in a fierce battle with his father before he was even born?

It's impossible to even think about it.

Ai Haibara didn't fully believe the information provided by either side, but compared to the craftsman who had tricked her, she felt that the twins were more credible.

Why are you telling me this?

Looking at the screen in front of her, Ai Haibara slowly typed, and a message quickly appeared on the other side of the screen: "Because of your bloodline, you have inherited your father's bloodline."

So naturally, you should also possess that power, that power enough to change the world.

Consider this a heads-up before placing your bet: I have high hopes for your potential and your father Conan Edogawa's abilities.

Upon seeing the words before her, Ai Haibara remained silent for a moment, pondering how to respond. After analyzing her own usefulness, she chose to ask for more information first.

"I'm sorry, it probably won't work today. I'm quite busy with work. As for more information about your father, I'll have someone log into this account and send it to you tomorrow."

Hei hope replied that she and Mi Qi hadn't discussed how to arrange the next part of the plot yet, and they couldn't just make it up on the spot.

Even if you improvise on the spot, you still need to be coherent; if something goes wrong, the several scenes you prepared beforehand will be wasted.

Hei hope and Xia Qing had already finished the beginning and the end, but the middle part was not yet finished, and the ending also needed to be polished.

"I understand, thank you."

Ai Haibara thanked her and replied, "It seems my usefulness is greater than I thought."

Ai Haibara thought for a moment, then opened the file the craftsman had sent her and began reading the rest of it.

Although the craftsman's document might contain incorrect information, it couldn't be completely wrong, otherwise I would be able to spot it at a glance.

Much of the information in that document was correct. After browsing the document on her computer for a while, Ai Haibara was pleasantly surprised.

I've discovered some of Yusaku Kudo's identity information!

A famous detective novelist... So that's how it is. The BOSS uses this identity to disguise himself in the outside world.

When she received the news, it was almost dawn. Ai Haibara, who couldn't sleep at all, finally couldn't resist her body's interference and drowsiness surged into her heart.

With her mind barely clear, Ai Haibara did some stretching exercises for twenty minutes while thinking. Then she took off her researcher's white coat, but without taking off her undershirt, she lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep, sleeping as soundly as a baby.

When she woke up, it was already noon. She sat up in bed and looked around in a daze.

"Shinichi Kudo killed Yusaku Kudo, why am I having such a strange dream?"

Ai Haibara, who had just gotten up, said in a low voice with doubt that the dream she had last night was about that rainy night 20 years ago, as mentioned by the twins.

She dreamt that 20 years ago, Shinichi Kudo and Yusaku Kudo fought with pistols on a stone bridge stained with blood and rain.

In the end, Shinichi Kudo killed Yusaku Kudo, and the dream abruptly ended at that moment.

Chapter 443: I can recognize you even from three streets away

Speaking of which, Shinichi Kudo and Yusaku Kudo seem to share the same surname, right? And the information the craftsman gave them also seems to indicate that Shinichi is Yusaku's son.

Ai Haibara's expression froze for a moment: "This... father and son killing each other, father's kindness and son's filial piety?"

Speaking of which, Shinichi Kudo seems to be on the list of victims of that drug, the poison that Gin fed him in the previous report.

After Ai Haibara felt deeply that Yusaku Kudo was ruthless for a while, the computer screen, which had already gone black, suddenly flickered.

Looking at the screen, Ai Haibara saw a message from the twin she had been communicating with yesterday.

“Seele… that tone is probably just an act. How could the organization have a member who speaks like a naive little girl?”

Ai Haibara mentally labeled Seele, who had just introduced herself, as an imposter. Perhaps... this Seele is an online fraudster?

In her view, no member of the organization would use this kind of chat method that starts with a complete self-introduction such as name, gender, and age.

This way of chatting... Miss Seele, are you living in the past?

The organization prioritizes efficiency, so when issuing tasks, orders, or intelligence, they usually send the information directly without deliberately introducing pseudonyms first.

"They won't even tell me the name of the wine. They're really cautious."

After saying that, Ai Haibara walked to the chair to reply. She didn't believe the organization would give a trainee member without a name to contact her.

"Um...is Ai Haibara here?"

Meanwhile, inside the castle, Seele, the other personality of the woman who was slacking off, looked at the manuscript in her hand and sent out a message somewhat timidly.

Having spent a long time in the deserted Quantum Sea, Seele was somewhat afraid of complete strangers. Although she spent most of her time sleeping, she was actually awake for quite a while as well.

"Who is Ai Haibara? Have you got the wrong person?"

The other party replied quickly. At this point, Ai Haibara, who was still playing as Shiho Miyano, was a little confused about the name.

"Huh? But in the information she gave me, your name is Ai Haibara."

Ai Haibara, seeing Seele's seemingly innocent demeanor across from her, quickly responded, her fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard. She replied to Seele:

"Alright, Miss Seele, what brings you here?"

At this moment, Ai Haibara vaguely felt that the person opposite her who called herself Seele might have some special purpose in mentioning that name.

Hmm, Ai Haibara... is this a fake identity she prepared for herself?

The doubts in her heart remained unanswered, and the next second, Seele on the screen began to recount the information she had to tell Ai Haibara.

"Teitan Elementary School...Is my father there right now?"

She muttered to herself, as if her father's experiences were unfolding before her eyes.

After the defeat, my father was severely injured. To recover from his injuries, he may have hidden himself in a school and worked as a teacher.

Yes, that should be the case.

Ai Haibara concluded that her father couldn't possibly go to elementary school to be a student.

As for employees, that's also being considered, but Ai Haibara still prefers the possibility of her father becoming a teacher.

My father is also a top medical researcher, but to avoid attracting too much attention due to his highly specialized expertise, he will probably choose the opposite career path.

If Chinese literature corresponds to mathematics, then the father's career reversal might correspond to history.

Oh, by the way, do elementary schools have history classes?

"Would you like to go see your father?"

Just as Ai Haibara was thinking this, a message from Seele on the other end of the screen jolted her awake.

"May I?"

Ai Haibara looked at the screen with some confusion and typed, but Seele's reply came quickly: "Sure, she said before that you should have a chance to go out soon."

Your father's current location is no secret, but due to the rules of the underworld, no one will attack him for the time being, and he won't pretend that he has regained his memories.

Ai Haibara was stunned when she saw the message from Seele, and then slowly replied, "I understand."

After using the organization's specially designed communication device to ask the member named Bourbon, who was in charge of guarding her, Ai Haibara finally received the answer: "Yes, do you want to leave now?"

......

My name is Conan Edogawa, and I currently attend Teitan Elementary School. My age is... I'm seventeen. Is this considered an absurdly high number of years I've repeated?

Conan stared at the questions on the blackboard, bored. It would be a real problem if he were stumped by these kinds of questions.

Speaking of which, what was the purpose of the sword we found at the address left by Shinichi Kudo? Could it be that drawing that sword would grant some kind of magical power?

But I've already drawn it, and there's no reaction at all. How do I activate the power inside that sword from the West?

The questions on the blackboard were not difficult at all. Conan was getting bored and began to think about how to use the power of his "legacy" when a black car slowly drove up to the school gate.

The black car was unremarkable, but Amuro Tooru, who was driving it, was quite satisfied with it.

It would be problematic to travel in a luxury car on a mission; missions should be conducted in a completely ordinary manner.

Gin drives his iconic discontinued Porsche as if he's afraid no one will know he's there, and Amuro Tooru finds that behavior incomprehensible.

Gin's car was recognizable even from three blocks away; his car had only three words: conspicuous.

"We've arrived at Teitan Elementary School. Now, are you planning to go see your father?"

He glanced at Ai Haibara and asked Amuro Tooru, and Ai Haibara nodded: "From now on... you should stay away from me, so that my father doesn't find out."

Ai Haibara naturally knew what Tooru Amuro was there for: to monitor her and her father's interactions.

However, according to Seele, her father probably wouldn't admit it. According to the rules of that other world, as long as her father doesn't admit his identity, Kudo Yusaku won't be able to take action against him.

As for hiring ordinary people to do the work, according to Seele's answer at the time, even a few ordinary people would have been murdered back then.

Ai Haibara still doesn't understand what that sentence means, and Seele didn't intend to say anything more at the time.

"Who are you looking for?"

Ai Haibara, who was being followed by Amuro Tooru at just the right distance, heard the gatekeeper say this as she reached the school gate. After thinking for a moment, Ai Haibara replied directly:
