Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

On a sunny afternoon,

Haibara Ai ended her nap today with a shrill cry.

The white ceiling and medical bottles that came into view, as well as the lingering smell of disinfectant in her breath, made her realize clearly again that she had left the building where she had stayed for several days.

As an innocent victim of abduction, she was rescued from an ocean freighter by the police and returned to the light of day and to Sister Xiaolan and the others.

"Xiao Ai, you're awake."

A familiar voice came from beside her. Huihara Ai turned her head and saw Sera Masumi approaching with a concerned look on her face:

"How do you feel now? Are you still dizzy? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something or drink some water?"

Huihara Ai shook her head, and after being helped up by Sera Masumi thoughtfully and half leaning against the head of the bed, she whispered:

“I don’t want to stay in the hospital any longer.”

Outside the ward, the shrill cries continued, penetrating the closed door harshly and vaguely, reaching every ward on the two floors.

Sera Masamune nodded:

"Okay, I'll go ask the doctor. If it's okay, we'll go back to Beika Town tonight."

Sera Masumi stood up and walked out of the ward. As soon as the door was closed, Haibara Ai's expression turned cold.

The fingers under the quilt pinched the palm tightly.

In her lowered eyes, she showed the fragility and guilt that she tried hard to hide but couldn't help revealing.

When she first regained consciousness in the oak barrel, Haibara Ai was thinking of the person who secretly covered her mouth and nose with a drugged handkerchief from behind before she fell into a coma.

At that time, she was full of resentment and even thought that the guy had better go back and pray that he would not meet her again next time.

Otherwise, he will be punished.

However, she did not expect that just as she was rescued from the oak barrel by the police happily and excitedly, she was carefully and nervously carried to a stretcher by medical staff, and carried to the ambulance parked at the dock, which drove not far away.

A resounding explosion and the billowing smoke that almost filled the entire sky turned the entire Tokyo Port into a hell on earth in an instant.

When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes in the hospital ward, everything she saw and heard told her.

The sound she heard when she was delirious was not an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, but an explosion.

An explosion created by Whiskey behind the scenes destroyed the entire Tokyo Port and caused countless casualties.

At this time, Haibara Ai finally truly tasted the meaning behind the idiom "Dances with Wolves".

It was a psychological pressure deeper than tension and fear, heavy enough to drive a person crazy, making even breathing feel like suffocation and burning pain.

Soon, perhaps the medical staff in the hospital came to persuade the deceased's family to leave, the shrill cries lingering in Huibara Ai's ears gradually faded away, and peace returned to the ward again.

After a while, the sound of footsteps belonging to Masumi Sera was heard near the ward.

The moment the ward door was opened,

Only then did Haibara Ai slowly loosen her clenched hands under the quilt, and let out a breath like a fish that finally returned to the surface of the water from the suffocating air.

After entering the room, Sera Masumi noticed that Haibara Ai didn't look very good, but she didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Haibara Ai didn't sleep well, so she was in a bad mood and looked bad.

"I asked the doctor, and he said I could be discharged after I finish the remaining bottle of IV drip."

As he spoke, Sera Masumi glanced at the infusion bottle on the infusion stand, which was almost empty, and continued to comfort him:

"The remaining bottle is a small one. We will be able to finish the discharge procedures in about half an hour."

"By the way, mom just called to ask about your situation. I told her that you would be discharged from the hospital later, and she said she would come to pick you up."

Huiyuan Ai pursed her lips:

"This is too much trouble for her. Isn't there someone injured who needs to be taken care of?"

Shira Masumi immediately understood who she was talking about and immediately shook her head:

"Mom went to Xiu Ge's place to handle work matters and exchange information, not to take care of him specifically."

"Besides, I believe that Mom and Xiu Ge must have returned to Tokyo or are on their way back to Tokyo now."

"If Brother Xiu isn't seriously injured, he can personally drive over to pick you up, believe it or not."

Haibara Ai stopped talking immediately.

After a while, the medicine in the infusion bottle was empty. A nurse in a nurse's uniform came over with a treatment tray, hung up the last small bottle of drip, then turned around and left with the empty infusion bottle.

Masumi Sera sat aside and watched the nurse's operation, and then kept guarding by the side.

Before the medicine in the infusion bottle ran out, Dr. Agasa and Mary Akai pushed open the door of the ward.

As soon as the two entered the room, they first set their eyes on Huibara Ai lying on the bed.

Seeing that Haibara Ai was safe and sound, except that her face looked a little unwell, Dr. Agasa, who had been worried these days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Akai Mary walked to the bedside of Huihara Ai, first carefully looked at Huihara Ai's upper body leaning against the head of the bed, and then said with a little apology:

"I'm sorry to come see you so late."

Hearing the sincerity in Akai Mary's words, Haibara Ai shook her head a little nervously, indicating that she didn't care about it.

Due to the current environment and to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, Akai Mary did not elaborate.

In fact, the reason why she appeared here just now was because it was shortly after the explosions occurred at both Tokyo Port and Yokohama Port yesterday.

Someone made a phone call and informed the Kanagawa police of the hiding place of the elite team composed of the FBI and MI6, in the name of discovering dangerous elements.

Superintendent Matsuo, head of the First Investigation Division of the Kanagawa Headquarters, immediately took his men to the address mentioned in the report and ran into the elite team.

The two sides were chasing each other, and when they inadvertently passed a street, they happened to meet a panicked person.

The other party was running while trembling and holding up his cell phone to call the police. Seeing this, Superintendent Matsuo sent two subordinates to inquire about the situation, and he took the rest of the people to continue chasing the elite team.

After one of the policemen revealed his identity, the panicked man immediately acted as if he had found a savior. He quickly said that he heard several gunshots and screams coming from the house behind and suspected that someone was killing someone in the house.

After hearing this, the police immediately followed the direction indicated by the man who reported the case, went to the specific location, and pushed open the door which was not locked.

Then they found signs of a fierce gun battle, several bodies, and Yuuki Sanada and Minako Sanada lying unconscious on the bed in a room inside.

The news was passed back to the Kanagawa Police Headquarters and immediately caused a sensation.

When Yuki Sanada and Minako Sanada were rushed to the hospital by the police on the scene, the elite team that Akai Mary and Akai Shuichi originally intended to use to kidnap Yuki Sanada were directly labeled as accomplices of the kidnappers and put on the wanted list.

The amount is considerable.

At that time, Shuichi Akai, the highest-ranking FBI official in Neon Japan, had just been stabbed on the stretcher by a grumpy doctor with a sedative because he tried to forcibly get off the stretcher, and then was sent to the hospital operating room.

The elite team being chased by the Kanagawa police could not contact Shuichi Akai, so they could only place all their attention and hopes on Mari Akai.

So, Mary Akai, who had finally escaped from the Tokyo Port explosion, did not have time to take a look at her daughter and niece after confirming that both of them had been sent to the ambulance and were not affected by the Tokyo Port explosion.

I went to Kanagawa as quickly as possible.

While commanding the elite team to evade the search of the Kanagawa police and withdraw from Kanagawa, he went to see his son and the Kudo family to learn about the specific situation there.

And by the way, let’s see if we can rescue Cameron and others from the police headquarters.

Then when she arrived in Kanagawa, Mary Akai learned that when the explosion occurred at Tokyo Port, a huge explosion also occurred at Yokohama Port.

The son lost contact because he was hit by the blast, which broke two ribs and injured his leg with rubble. The doctor gave him a shot of sedative and he was sent to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

Moreover, the explosion in Yokohama Port also affected the nearby signals, which resulted in not only Akai Mary being unable to contact Akai Shuichi.

Even when Conan wanted to contact his father Kudo Yusaku through the phone to ask about his situation and confirm his safety, he was unable to do so.

After Akai Mary finally finished her work and before she had time to sit down and catch her breath, Akai Shuichi, who had just come out of the operating room, insisted on being discharged from the hospital.

Mary Akai couldn't persuade him, so she had to knock the man unconscious and then watched him personally for the whole night.

After waking up the next day, Shuichi Akai did not directly tell his mother that he was going to be discharged from the hospital. Instead, he exchanged information with his mother and learned that Yuki Sanada and Minako Sanada had been found.

An email was sent to the high-ranking officers of the Neon Berry Army who were originally planned to be contacted, asking them to help rescue Kamal and others from the police headquarters.

Then he asked to be discharged from the hospital again with a wary look on his face.

Knowing that her son was on guard this time and that she couldn't knock him out like she did yesterday, Akai Mari sighed regretfully.

Therefore, it was not until now that Akai Mary appeared here.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Haibara Ai's discharge procedures did not take much time.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Haibara Ai and her group returned to Beika Town.

Kudo House,

Shuichi Akai was sitting on the sofa in the living room and heard the sound of a car coming from next door. Although he guessed who had returned, he still wanted to get up and take a look.

Seeing Akai Shuichi about to stand up, Kudo Yukiko said:

"Akai-kun, you'd better not walk easily with your legs now. I think Ms. Akai and Ai should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell of Kudo's house rang.

Yukiko Kudo hurried to open the door, and soon, Mary Akai and others walked in.

Ai Huihara looked at the woman with a bandage on her left leg on the sofa, and took two steps towards Akai Shuichi who was looking at her. When Akai Shuichi asked her how she was feeling, she replied softly:

"I'm fine, thanks for your concern. How about you?"

"I'm fine too, really. This injury only looks serious. It will heal in a few days."

After explaining, Akai Shuichi looked at Huihara Ai's slightly pale and weak face, then looked at Sera Masumi who was staring at him with a frown and a worried look, and said seriously:

"sorry."

I'm sorry that I didn't rescue you immediately after you were knocked unconscious and abducted.

After you were rescued by the police, he did not appear by your side immediately.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize."

Haibara Ai glanced at Akai Shuichi, then lowered her head and replied quickly, looking very uncomfortable with the situation.

Masumi Sera who was standing by was different from her. She looked at her elder brother in surprise. She never expected that one day she would see her wooden elder brother say sorry.

Kudo Yukiko came over with tea, and when she saw this scene, a gentle smile appeared on her face. Then she placed the only two cups of water in front of Haibara Ai and Sera Masumi.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Sera Masumi looked around and changed the subject:

"Sister Yukiko, Uncle Kudo and Conan, aren't they at home?"

"Yusaku went to the Metropolitan Police Department to help out. There are many deep connections behind the case of your disappearance and abduction."

"As for Shinichi, he left to meet Kaito. He said he had something important to discuss in person."

Shuichi Akai and Mary Akai looked at each other and confirmed that Kaito Kuroba's mysterious whereabouts in the past few days were definitely related to Yuki Sanada and Whiskey.

Huibara Ai held the cup of water and kept her head down most of the time, remaining quiet and silent until she left Kudo's house.

the other side,

The atmosphere between Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who were mentioned by Kudo Yukiko, seemed particularly tense.

At this moment, they were walking on a wilderness path near the Beihua Shinkansen, surrounded by weeds and sparsely populated.

After listening to Kuroba Kaito's story about his whereabouts in the past few days and the deal he reached with Whiskey, Conan looked at Kuroba Kaito, who was holding a piece of grass in his mouth and looked relaxed, and said in a cold voice:

"Kuroba Kaito, I admit that you are indeed very smart. You can easily escape from the scene when being hunted by all parties, easily steal the gems and treasures hidden under the heavy defenses, and fool countless policemen."

But Whiskey is different from everyone you have met before, and he is far more dangerous and terrifying than we have seen so far."

“A single spider in the zoo could have nearly killed you that night, but the entire Mystic Side was in Whiskey’s hands and couldn’t even make it through a single round.

You actually made a deal with a person like this, you actually dared to make a deal with him alone!!!"

Seeing the young detective so angry that he was almost shaking all over, Kuroba Kaito was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"I can't help it. My lurking skills are not good enough. If I don't agree to his terms of trade, I will just die first."

How could he choose to die? His Aoko was still waiting for him, and he had not yet avenged his father, found Pandora, or destroyed the zoo organization.

If he died like this, his Qingzi would definitely cry.
