Masuyama was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Just wait and see. This is the last time."

After hanging up the phone, Kenzo Masuyama stood in front of the window, looking at the courtyard in the night. His eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was recalling the past and thinking about the future. He knew that this mission would be a difficult challenge, but more importantly, it was his last loyalty to the organization. He didn't want to continue on this bloody road, but he didn't know whether he could succeed.

The night wind blew into the study, ruffling his clothes. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists. After a moment, he turned and walked out of the study, as if he had made up his mind.

Chapter 438 Gin's Car

That afternoon, the sun shone softly on the playground of Teitan Elementary School. The school bell rang crisply, and students poured out of the school like a tide.

Conan, Haibara Ai, as well as Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were walking on the sidewalk together, chatting about trivial things that happened at school.

"Haha, Huibara, it's ok to sleep in class, but you're also talking in your sleep!"

Conan had a teasing smile on his face, scratching his head as he spoke, "I really don't understand how you could sleep so soundly that even the teacher didn't notice you."

When Haibara Ai heard this, her brows frowned slightly, but she did not refute. She just walked quietly with the same indifferent expression as always.

She seemed to be unconcerned, but Conan captured every subtle change in her expression clearly.

"But luckily I helped you cover it up."

Conan pretended to be thoughtful and lowered his voice deliberately. "If you dream about... the Black Organization, it would be bad if other people heard it. Although they may not understand it, they will laugh at you for daydreaming."

Conan thought that this was just a casual remark and would not cause much reaction, but Haibara Ai's expression changed instantly.

Her eyes swept towards Conan like a sharp blade, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes: "What did you say? Are you serious?"

Conan raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Of course. Your voice is not small. If I hadn't pretended to sneeze to cover the sound, they would have heard everything you said."

Haibara Ai's face suddenly turned ugly. She bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of annoyance and worry in her expression.

During this period of time, the days with Kogoro Mouri and his sister were really peaceful.

Kogoro Mori's open-mindedness and humor made her feel like she had returned to a safe harbor; her sister Akemi Miyano's happy life was the scene she had always dreamed of.

She actually lost her vigilance and even fell asleep in class without any precautions.

"Really..."

Huibara Ai murmured softly and lowered her eyelids slightly.

Seeing her like this, Conan seemed to regret breaking her "defense line". Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly pulled Huihara Ai, slowed down his pace, and signaled her to stop.

The other three members of the Junior Detective Team had already run to the front, happily discussing their afternoon snack plans, and did not notice that they had fallen behind.

"what happened?"

Haibara Ai was startled by Conan's actions and looked up at him.

"Hey, Haibara," Conan lowered his voice and pointed to the distance with his eyes, "That car, is it...?"

Following Conan's gaze, Haibara Ai looked carefully and saw a car parked on the side of the road in the distance - a black Porsche 356A, its gleaming metal shell emitting a low-key but disturbing luster in the sun.

The license plate number made her feel even more as if she was falling into an ice cellar: Shinjuku 54み43-68.

Gin's car!

Haibara Ai's pupils suddenly contracted and she held her breath involuntarily.

Her thoughts were instantly pulled back to the nightmare-like past, the cold and ruthless Gin, and those murderous eyes... Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

"It's him." Conan's voice was low and solemn, "Why is he here?"

Huibara Ai gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

She said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a coincidence. He may have noticed my presence, or his target may be someone else."

Conan stared at the black Porsche 356A.

In the sunlight, the metal of the car body reflects a cold luster, like a dormant beast, making people tremble in their hearts.

Huiyuan Ai's face had turned pale. She whispered, "No, we have to leave. The owner of this car is more dangerous than you can imagine."

Conan shook his head stubbornly, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "Haibara, this is Gin's car! There must be something wrong with him appearing here. I must find out what he is going to do."

"Are you crazy?"

Huibara Ai lowered her voice, her tone revealing obvious anxiety, "Gin is very likely nearby. If he finds you... no, he finds us, you know the consequences!"

Conan was not frightened by her warning. Instead, he showed a slightly confident smile: "I won't be discovered. It's impossible for him to stare at the car all day. It only takes a dozen seconds to plant the bug."

After saying that, he took out the miniature eavesdropping device made by Dr. Agasa from his trouser pocket and held it in his hand.

Huihara Ai's brows were furrowed. She stared at Conan and said in a cold and urgent voice: "Are you kidding with your life? Do you think Gin is an ordinary criminal? He never shows mercy and will never let go of any flaws!"

Conan did not answer, but quickly observed the surrounding environment.

Pedestrians were coming and going on the roadside, and apparently no one noticed the car.

There was no one in the car and the window was slightly open, which provided an opportunity for his plan.

"Gray, keep an eye on it for me. If there's any movement, tell me immediately."

As Conan spoke, he half-crouched down, preparing to approach the Porsche.

"Kudo Shinichi!"

Huibara Ai lowered her voice and called out his real name for the first time.

Conan paused and turned to look at her.

Haibara Ai's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including worry and a hint of fear that could not be concealed.

She said slowly: "Even if you are Kudo Shinichi, you can't escape unscathed from Gin. He and the organization... are not as easy to deal with as you think."

Correct.

No one except Uncle Maori took advantage of them.

Conan gave a soothing smile: "That's why I need to know their plans in advance and know their next move. Huibara, if we keep running away, when will it end?"

Huibara Ai was speechless. She clenched the strap of her schoolbag tightly in her hand, and her fingertips turned white.

Looking at Conan's stubborn expression, she finally sighed, stepped aside, and whispered: "Okay, but if anything goes wrong, I won't save you."

Conan smiled and said, "You don't need to save me. I won't let them find me."

He quickly lowered himself and moved closer to the Porsche.

Haibara Ai stood not far away, not daring to take her eyes off the movements around her for a moment.

Conan tiptoed towards the car door, reached out and stuffed the miniature eavesdropping device into the gap of the car window, then quickly retracted his body, and after making sure that no one noticed him, he quickly retreated back to Haibara Ai.

"Done." Conan clapped his hands, looking very proud.

Huihara Ai glared at him and said in a cold voice: "I hope your pride won't harm us."

Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, the Porsche's remote car locking sound suddenly sounded, and with a "beep", the car door automatically locked.

The two men stopped in their tracks instantly, and a cold wind seemed to rise behind them.

Chapter 439 I want to go too

Huiyuan Ai asked in a low voice: "Are you sure... that you didn't trigger any mechanism?"

Conan looked back at the car nervously, then shook his head: "Impossible, I only planted the bug, I didn't touch anything else."

Just as the two were trying to leave as if nothing had happened, a tall dark figure slowly approached from the corner.

That familiar figure made Haibara Ai’s face even paler.

"Come on!"

Haibara Ai said almost in a commanding tone, pulling Conan's wrist and running in the opposite direction.

Gin's figure gradually became clear. He stood next to the Porsche, his eyes scanning the surroundings, as if observing anything unusual.

However, he did not get into the car immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a slow puff.

Conan and Haibara Ai in the distance had already run out of his sight.

Huihara Ai lowered her voice and said, "You are too reckless! If Gin finds us, we may not even have a chance to escape this time."

Conan exhaled. Although it was indeed thrilling just now, he still insisted: "At least now we have another chance to understand their plan. It's worth it."

Huiyuan Ai did not speak again, but walked in silence, with complicated emotions surging in her heart. She knew that danger was not far away from them, and every step they took was like walking on a knife's edge.

……

In the evening, the wind was cold and the air was filled with tension.

Conan and Haibara Ai hid in the shadowy alley, holding their breath, carefully observing the familiar and frightening black Porsche 356A.

Gin had already sat back in the passenger seat and lit a cigarette, with white smoke curling up in the car.

He turned his head to look at Vodka who had just opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

After closing the car door, Vodka started the engine, and his deep voice broke the silence in the car: "Brother, I just received a message from Pisco. About that... memorial service for Akira Sakamaki held at the Haido City Hotel, and the congressman Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi..."

Gin's brows suddenly frowned and his eyes instantly became sharp.

He reached out to interrupt Vodka's words and shouted coldly: "Shut up, idiot!"

Vodka was stunned, and the steering wheel in his hand almost dropped. He stammered, "What...what's wrong, brother?"

Gin didn't answer, but slowly moved his gaze towards the car door.

He reached out his hand and picked up a tiny eavesdropping device from the crack in the door. After looking at it expressionlessly for a few seconds, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that a rat is eavesdropping on our conversation."

Gin's voice was low and deep, and dangerously, he used two fingers to easily crush the spiritual eavesdropping weapon, and a crisp "click" sound rang out in the small car.

Haibara Ai saw this scene in the corner and her face turned pale.

She subconsciously pulled Conan's sleeve and said in a very low voice: "It's over, he found out."

Conan frowned and stared at Gin in the Porsche.

They had to leave here immediately, but they dared not act rashly.

Gin pushed open the car door, got out slowly, and scanned the surrounding streets and buildings with cold eyes.

His high boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the ground, as if every step was stepping on people's nerves.

He lowered his head beside the car, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a thin, brown hair on the ground.

Gin squatted down, picked up the hair, held it between his fingers and looked at it, his eyes suddenly became gloomy and fierce.

He murmured, "Brown hair..."

Suddenly, his voice changed and he uttered a name in a low voice: "Shirley...?"

When this name came out of his mouth, it was accompanied by an indescribable complex emotion, including anger, murderous intent, and a subtle obsession.

Conan and Haibara Ai were hiding in a corner. When they heard Gin's words, their hearts almost stopped beating.

Haibara Ai's pupils suddenly contracted and her body began to tremble unconsciously.

She clutched Conan's arm tightly and whispered, "He found out... it's my hair."

Conan quickly covered her mouth with his hand and said in a low voice, "Hush, he hasn't found us yet."

However, cold sweat also broke out on his forehead.

Gin stood up, still holding the hair in his hand.

His eyes slowly scanned every corner around him like a cheetah locking onto its prey, and he murmured in a low voice: "Shirley... where are you hiding?"

His voice pierced into Haibara Ai's ears like an ice knife, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down, but her heart was beating as wildly as a war drum.

Gin stood on the street for a while, looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.

His expression grew darker, and as he loosened his fingers, the hair fell to the ground in the wind.

He turned back to the car and said coldly to Vodka, "There are rats here. Go and find out who did it. Hurry up."

Vodka nodded and replied, "Yes, brother."

Gin looked around again, as if trying to catch some clues from the air.

His gaze finally fell on an alley where no one passed by, and his brows furrowed slightly.
