Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

"Goodbye, Kudo Shinichi. I hope you can be back to normal when we meet next time."

The expired young girl detective disappeared into the darkness, as if she had never been there.

This ghost-like hiding technique is exactly the same as the one Yan Shuangying once used in front of Conan. However, Conan already knew that Yueshui Nanatsuki was one of Yan Shuangying's assistants, so he was naturally not too surprised by this.

He's just a little weird——

Hattori Heiji told him that Yan Shuangying had two assistants, one was a male doctor named Asai Narimi and the other was a female detective named Koshimizu Nanatsuki. But why did Asai Narimi look so much like a detective? Did Hattori Heiji remember it wrongly?

Shaking his head, Conan put these things out of his mind.

His face suddenly turned gloomy. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Haibara Ai without hesitation.

Didi————

Inside Dr. Agasa's laboratory, the sound of keyboard tapping was heard simultaneously in two places.

Ai Huibara took a sip of the coffee, then put it down. She pushed her plain glasses to protect her eyesight, and worked overtime on the keyboard, recording information and data about APTX-4869 and the antidote.

The ringing of the phone at this time interrupted her thoughts a little. If the sender had not shown as [Kudo].

Then Haibara Ai probably wouldn't answer the call - in fact, even if she didn't answer the call, Haibara Ai could roughly guess what Kudo Shinichi's purpose was in calling at this time.

He went to Nagano Prefecture today, while Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Narumi Asai were in Nagano Prefecture at this time.

Most likely, he got information about Yan Shuangying from Koshimizu Nanatsuki or Asai Narimi, and came here to question him, right? This famous detective always seems to be so impulsive, doing things regardless of the cost.

Haibara Ai turned her head and glanced at Dr. Agasa who was typing furiously to meet the deadline.

Then, she pushed the door open, walked out of the room, closed it, and then pressed the answer button on the phone. Just as she put the phone next to her ear, the impatient voice of the great detective came from the phone.

"Hui Yuan! What are you hiding from me? Don't you know where Yan Shuangying went? Why didn't you tell me?"

Haibara Ai's voice was calm and she spoke directly.

"Because that's something you already know—remember? When Yan Shuangying first came to Dr. Agasa's laboratory, what question did he ask before leaving?"

Conan on the other end of the phone was stunned. His memory quickly recalled and he finally got the answer.

What Yan Shuangying asked was [Is Karasuma Renya in Tottori Prefecture]? At that time, he also asked Huibara Ai who Karasuma Renya was, and even had a big quarrel with Huibara because of this. As a result, Huibara was sniped the next day, and he went to save her once.

Then, the two parties reached a tacit cooperative relationship, and neither he nor Huibara mentioned this matter again.

Could it be that Yan Shuangying went to Tottori Prefecture to kill this important figure of the Black Organization named Karasuma Renya?

"Yan Shuangying asked me for the specific address, but I can't tell you."

"You are different from Yan Shuangying. Any investigation into this address would lead to disaster for you, but not for Yan Shuangying. He has already proven his strength. Besides, Yan Shuangying has already passed away. There is no need for you to inquire about this address again."

Huiyuan Ai said softly.

"Don't you believe in Yan Shuangying's strength the most? In this case, you can trust Yan Shuangying again."

"Sometimes, belief doesn't need a reason, right?"

————Why does this statement feel a bit strange?

Conan put the phone to his ear, his face a little heavy.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Haibara Ai said was true. He was different from Yan Shuangying. Yan Shuangying could investigate and even fight the Black Organization with real swords and guns, but he couldn't.

What happened to the Junior Detectives taught him that the Black Organization could take his life at any time.

He didn't die, but because of the life of the Black Organization code member named "Vermouth" whom he and Xiaolan saved in another country——

Detective Hakuba of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department asks Hattori Heiji to convey a message to him as Kudo Shinichi.

The content is [The electronic file of the kidnapping case of the counterfeit money thief Silver Fox in Odoran was modified, and the names of the two children, Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan, were erased. This is probably the reason why Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan were not kidnapped].

Conan didn't know why Hakuba asked Hattori Heiji to convey this to Kudo Shinichi.

Perhaps Hakuba Tan has already guessed his identity, or perhaps he simply thinks that he is connected to Kudo Shinichi.

But his safety in this crisis had nothing to do with him. It was entirely because Vermouth modified his electronic files and helped him get through this crisis. If there is a next time——

Conan doesn't think that Vermouth can always help him out of trouble at the right time.

If you walk on the small road too much, you will eventually fall one day. He is not afraid of the consequences of investigating the Black Organization, but he cannot help but think about his friends, relatives and acquaintances around him.

"...I understand. I'll discuss the rest when I return to Tokyo."

Conan was a little tired and was about to hang up the call, but Huiyuan Ai on the other side brought up something that had nothing to do with Yan Shuangying or the Black Organization at this time——

"Kudo, Dr. Agasa has received an invitation to the closed beta test from the game development group."

"Do you want to come with me? Let's go see what this legendary next-generation holographic fully immersive game is like."

she asked.

"You should shift your focus. Focusing on this impossible task for too long will only cause your mental stress threshold to exceed your tolerance, and you will become completely trapped in the role you're playing."

...maybe.

Conan rubbed his forehead. Behind him, Ran Mouri had already started calling his name.

He turned around and looked at the Nagano Prefectural Police who had already dispersed and the still smug Kogoro Mori. In the end, he decided to put the investigation of this matter aside and have some fun with Xiaolan for a few days.

Family, yesterday's chapter has been moved to this afternoon's update

The author's work and rest schedule has been irregular recently and I have a little stomachache. I suspect that my stomach disease has relapsed. I will adjust my writing time and resume my work and rest schedule. I'm sorry.

Chapter 206: Sneak into Tottori and attack Karasuma! (3/5)

The postal code #969#6261 belongs to Tottori Prefecture, and the circle was further narrowed by using the mobile phone number obtained from Haibara Ai.

If Karasuma Renya is really in Tottori Prefecture, then his specific location can be confirmed. What Yan Shuangying has to do is to fake his death and escape, seize the opportunity, sneak into Tottori, and attack Karasuma directly!

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as we get rid of Karasuma Renya, the leader of the Black Organization, the Black Organization will collapse!

“————Is this the place?”

Yan Shuangying's gaze fell on the villa complex not far away.

Ever since the day he faked his death and escaped, he rushed all the way to Tottori Prefecture without hesitation. Then he spent two days finally confirming the real location where the Black Organization leader, Karasuma Renya, sent the email, and was ready to take action tonight.

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of footsteps came from far away, and Yan Shuangying's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The villa complex's professional security team passed by here. They didn't notice Yan Shuangying's presence at all. After briefly confirming the surrounding situation, they continued on their patrol route.

Although they are already elite enough in the security industry, they are still far behind Yan Shuangying.

After the team of professional security personnel left, Yan Shuangying looked at his watch in the moonlight, confirmed the time, and made a simple prediction about the time when the next wave of security personnel would appear here.

Then, an eagle claw hook emerged from his sleeve, and he swung it directly, instantly hooking the edge of the courtyard wall.

After pulling it a little to make sure the eagle claw hook was firmly grasped, Yan Shuangying stepped on the ground, took off into the air, and lightly climbed over the wall. Then he flicked his hand, retracted the eagle claw hook, and continued to move towards the interior of the villa complex.

The surveillance cameras installed on various roads within the villa complex form a surveillance system with almost no blind spots.

However, Yan Shuangying did not appear on the display screen of any monitor in the monitoring rooms of the villa complex, as if this legendary figure who was known to be half human and half ghost and the best gunslinger had really disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

"Eh? Did a shadow just flash by? I didn't see it clearly, did you see it clearly?"

A security guard in the monitoring room glanced at the screen and was suddenly startled. He hurriedly asked another security guard sitting next to him, while the other security guard seemed a little puzzled.

"You might be hallucinating from working overtime. Where did the shadow come from? Have you been listening to too many urban legends lately?"

"That Tottori horror spider house thing? That's all fake. We've survived the bloodbath of the United States, so we'd be embarrassed to tell anyone else! In a few days, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Tottori Prefecture will establish a joint investigation headquarters, and those legends will be completely gone!"

Superintendent Seinaga Matsumoto of the Criminal Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has long advocated the establishment of a cooperative investigation headquarters for robbery cases in Tottori Prefecture.

The Tottori Prefecture Police Headquarters has already made this matter public. When the time comes, those artificially created urban legends will definitely be thoroughly investigated by criminals from outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Tottori Prefecture will soon become one of the safest areas in Japan!

"...That's not necessarily true. Isn't there an urban legend in Tokyo as well?"

The security guard sat back in his chair, muttering that he might be a bit overly nervous and making a fuss.

"I heard the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department tried very hard to uncover the truth behind that urban legend, but failed. Now the entire top brass of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is under investigation. I even saw the Minister of Transportation bowing and apologizing on Nichijou TV yesterday."

call out----

An uninvited guest quietly came to the villa in the center of the villa complex, which was the most heavily patrolled and guarded.

Even if Yan Shuangying didn't intend to attack these workers, he could still easily complete the infiltration. No matter what kind of protection measures were used, they were meaningless to him————

Trying to stop the world's best vanguard from sneaking in is about as difficult as trying to stop Kaito Kidd from stealing.

Click————

The window opened and closed.

What surprised Yan Shuangying was that there was no one in the bedroom. Not only was there no one, there was not even any sign of use. It could only be seen that the things here were cleaned and tidied by a special waiter every day.

He felt something was wrong.

Only Karasuma Renya's absolute confidant can confirm the existence of this place. In other words, the only member of the Black Organization who can come here is Vermouth, and the only one who may have found this place is Haibara Ai.

Since the Black Organization believed that Haibara Ai was dead and Karasuma Renya absolutely trusted Vermouth, there was no need for Karasuma Renya to deliberately hide his life traces in the base camp, unless——

"Karasuma Renya knew that Haibara Ai was not dead, so he moved to another place in advance to prevent his location from being leaked?"

Yan Shuangying came up with an unlikely answer.

Because this means that Vermouth has already told Karasuma Ren'e the true identity of Haibara Ai, and Haibara Ai should be the only researcher and developer of APTX-4869. Moreover, if Karasuma Ren'e knew about it, why didn't he take any measures?

The final outcome cannot be determined.

He stood at the door, waited for a moment, moved his ears slightly, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

As Yan Shuangying heard, there were no waiters moving around inside the villa during this time period, and after he scanned various places, he concluded that there were no other hidden security personnel inside the villa.

Tick, tick, tick.

Yan Shuangying walked down the stairs and came to the first floor hall step by step. His eyes fell on the seemingly empty wall. His black-gloved hand placed on the decorative vase on the table next to him, grabbed the neck of the bottle and turned it.

call out----

The secret door opened almost silently, and a secret passage leading underground emerged.

He reached into his black coat, took out two newly purchased black pistols, and slowly walked to the deepest part of the underground passage - there was only a computer there, and various codes were automatically appearing on the computer screen.

The next moment, Yan Shuangying heard the sound of liquid flowing.
