Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo was about to explain when Kudo Yusaku, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, took over the conversation, "Is it Conan's call?"

"Ah."

"Then let me tell him..."

Kudo Yusaku took over Qin Zhibo's call, "Shinichi, what happened?"

This voice...

Conan was even more surprised when he heard this familiar voice.

"Dad?"

"Well, Mr. Qin, your uncle and I are all in the United States right now, discussing some very important matters, so we can't go back right away."

Hearing this, Conan's already uncalm brain became even more confused.

Because he couldn't figure out whether he should ask them what they were discussing in the United States first, or talk about Haibara Ai first.

After hesitating for two seconds, he told Kudo Yusaku that Haibara Ai had been kidnapped.

"Is it the little girl who is boarding at Dr. Agasa's house?"

Kudo Yusaku had heard of Haibara Ai from Professor Agasa, and knew her background, but he had never seen her in person.

"Yes! It's her!" Conan replied.

"Are you sure now that she was kidnapped by the organization?" Kudo Yusaku changed the subject, "Or did she take the initiative to go with the organization?"

"Ok?"

Conan was immediately puzzled, not knowing what his father was talking about.

If Haibara Ai goes back with the organization, she will lose her life!

Meanwhile, Kudo Yusaku remained calm and analyzed further, "From the current situation, the mother of the child named 'Graybara Ai' is still alive and working for the organization."

"If that's the case, then we have to consider whether her mother sent someone to pick her up."

"Because APTX-4869 is a drug her mother researched, it has the effect of making people smaller, and her mother must have known about it."

"That is to say, the child's current identity may not have been a secret from the beginning..."

Kudo Yusaku's analysis suddenly enlightened Conan on the other end of the phone, and a new idea was opened up.

Indeed, Haibara Ai once said that her research was inherited from her mother Elena.

If Elena were still alive, she would probably have known that drugs have the potential to make a person smaller.

As long as you understand this, combined with the organization's deep-rooted intelligence network, it will not be difficult to grasp the identity of Haibara Ai.

In this way, my identity will also...

"But... since the organization already knows her whereabouts, why don't they bring her back immediately?"

Conan still wanted to defend Haibara Ai because he really didn't want to assume the worst.

Kudo Yusaku also heard the hesitation in Conan's words, and understood that their "revolutionary friendship" had a certain foundation, and was unwilling to doubt each other easily.

However, facing a powerful enemy, any indecision is unacceptable.

"Shinichi, although I won't assume that the child is still a member of the organization, it is better to be cautious for the sake of insurance..."

"You should have met the FBI during the last video conference. The most urgent thing now is to contact them and inform them of the situation."

"They will help you hide, and the Mori family and Dr. Agasa will also be protected in secret."

What Kudo Yusaku said about being on the safe side sounded like he had completely treated Haibara Ai as a member of the organization.

Although Conan wanted to refute, he didn't know how to start.

Because even if Haibara Ai does not surrender, the organization can follow the clues to find out all the people she has contacted during this period and then kill them.

Kudo Yusaku's approach is the most sensible.

"Okay, I'll do that..."

Conan agreed, but his voice was low.

Kudo Yusaku also knew that his son must be feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, but comforting him over the phone was like scratching an itch and was meaningless.

He returned the phone to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo took the phone and said, "I'll ask my assistant to find out the whereabouts of Huiyuan Ai..."

assistant?

Conan was stunned at first, but then he remembered that Qin Zhibo admitted last time that his former detective assistant, Amuro Toru, was an undercover agent in the organization.

This was also the only solution Qin Zhibo thought of when Kudo Yusaku was on the phone just now.

Let Bourbon, Kiel, and Curacao collect relevant information within the organization.

After all, by the time I return to Japan and cast the locating spell, it will be too late.

As for the person who kidnapped or took Haibara Ai away, Qin Zhibo first ruled out the possibility that it was Vermouth.

Because Vermouth's attitude towards Haibara Ai is to kill if she can, without holding back.

In the train incident, in order to kill Haibara Ai immediately, she even planned to blow up Bourbon as well.

Therefore, Vermouth would not take such a troublesome action as bringing Haibara Ai back to the organization.

Yusaku Kudo believes that there is a high probability that this matter was manipulated by Elena Miyano.

After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

Qin Zhibo told Conan about his remedial measures, which immediately won Conan's approval.

"Well, this is the only way now..."

……

With the episode brought by Conan, the content of the meeting also changed temporarily.

Everyone discussed the consequences of this incident and made new plans for the next itinerary.

The good news is that although Haibara Ai has always been by Conan's side, she doesn't actually have a deep understanding of the situation on the red side.

The bad news is that even if we don’t know the specific plan, we know who is currently hostile to the organization and that Curacao has been whitewashed as an undercover agent.

Even if Haibara Ai doesn't say it on her own initiative, it is still a question whether a little girl can withstand the torture of the organization.

Therefore, Japan is definitely short of manpower at the moment, and the FBI and the Japanese police alone cannot control the situation.

So, the Kuroba couple decided to return to Japan immediately.

Kudo Shinichi also has to make final contacts in the United States and coordinate various investigation organizations around the world.

Luc Villiers of the Nine Angels was responsible for going to Los Angeles to meet with Walter Marsh Jr. of STK to discuss joining forces to fight the organization.

Luc Villiers knew quite a bit about the Marsh family, once the first family of Innsmouth. Although they were not close friends, at least they could talk to each other.

Originally, Qin Zhibo was going to return to Japan immediately, but he had something else to deal with, so he had to delay for a few days.

……

On the streets of Beika-cho, Tokyo, Japan.

In the darkness of the night, an elementary school student wearing glasses looked lonely.

Ten minutes ago, Conan, who had just finished a phone call with Qin Zhibo, contacted James from the FBI.

After briefly telling the other party the situation here, James said he would send someone to pick him up immediately.

While waiting, the three little ones also received news through the detective badge that Inspector Megure had arrived with the police.

After weighing the pros and cons, Conan ultimately decided not to tell Officer Megure about the fact that Haibara Ai had been taken away.

After all, the organization's affairs are not something ordinary police can interfere with.

But Conan has been wondering, who on earth saved Haibara Ai in the alley next to Teitan Elementary School?

If the organization's target is Haibara Ai, then what is the position of the unidentified adult?

Is he a brave passerby?

Or is he someone related to the organization like Haibara Ai?

Suddenly, Conan had an idea and thought of someone.

Wakasa Rumi!

Wakasa Rumi was a person related to the case of Hiroshi Haneda 17 years ago, and was also related to the organization in some way.

The place where the incident happened is not far from Teitan Elementary School. It is very likely that Wakasa Rumi, who was planning to go home, encountered people from the organization who were trying to capture Haibara Ai?

Probably!

Thinking of this, Conan quickly took out his cell phone and scrolled down the address book until he came to Wakasa Rumi's name.

Fortunately, I left her phone number before...

Conan felt a little relieved and dialed the number.

beep--

beep--

The busy tone continued, with no sign of picking up the phone.

After 45 seconds, an electronic reminder tone indicates that the other party is busy and cannot be answered temporarily.

Seeing this, Conan still called the number a second time without believing it.

But the result is still the same.

This situation gave Conan a bad feeling.

Because Wakasa Rumi's number is a mobile phone number, and she can carry the phone with her at any time to answer calls.

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove over from a distance and stopped next to Conan.

The front windows rolled down, revealing the faces of James and Judy.

"Cool kid, let's get in the car first..."

……

In the car, Conan repeated the details to James and Judy.

Under the current circumstances, he had no choice but to tell the two of them Haibara Ai's true identity.

"The organization's scientist, codename 'Shirley'?"

"It seems that you can't judge a person by his appearance..."

Both James and Judy had met Haibara Ai before, but at that time they felt that the little girl was a little mature, yet a little shy and not very talkative, and they couldn't tell anything else.

"No, she's not actually a little girl, at least not as old as you look..."

"In fact, she and I are both older than we appear to be."

"We shrunk because we took a drug developed by the organization."

"My real name is actually Kudo Shinichi..."

At this point, Conan no longer feels the need to hide his identity.

If things are just as Kudo Yusaku speculated, and the organization already knows the secret of the shrinkers, what is the point of him hiding it now?

Now that the confrontation with the organization has become increasingly intense, continuing to hide one's identity will only increase unnecessary communication costs.

James and Judy, who were sitting in the front seat, were stunned for a moment when they heard Conan's confession.

However, James was obviously less surprised and he quickly regained his composure.

"If that's true..." James sighed softly.

"James, have you known about this a long time ago?" Judy turned her head and asked in surprise.

"Do not."

James shook his head gently while steering the wheel. "I just confirmed this, but I did have some suspicions about this before..."
