Conan and I start the hell-level main line

Chapter 173: Following Ai's Shadow

"This morning, the suspect, Fudo Kyosuke, who killed two police officers in succession and seriously injured another police officer, has been arrested."

"According to reports, Fudo Kyosuke was the murderer who killed Ninoho last year. The criminal has been arrested and the case will be handed over to the police for the final trial..."

At Dr. Agasa's house, Conan and the three members of the Junior Detective Team were eating watermelon together, enjoying a leisurely weekend.

(It seems like you guys don’t have classes.)

Watching the news on TV, the three little ones were very excited while eating watermelon in big bites.

Mitsuhiko: "The criminal who hurt Xiaolan-sister has finally been caught. It's really gratifying."

Yuanta: "Yes, a bad guy like him should never be able to eat eel rice in his life."

"Now that the murderer has been caught, the matter has come to an end." Xiao Ai, who was sitting by the window reading a magazine, was not very concerned about the news on TV.

"But I always feel like there's something off, but I don't know where it is, and what's more..." Conan looked at Ai with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"When we met at Fountain Square, you seemed a little strange and unnatural. What happened?"

Xiao Ai narrowed her eyes slightly, and in the light and shadow of her pupils, there was a chaotic shadow. She was holding a magazine, deep in thought.

"It's nothing, maybe you read it wrong." Xiao Ai flipped through the magazine and said indifferently.

"Really?" Conan glanced at her. There was nothing unusual, but he always felt something was wrong.

Ai looked at Conan who was no longer paying attention to him, then looked at the three little ones who were discussing the news, lowered his head, and looked at the magazine but couldn't read a single word.

When she was in Tropical Paradise, she once again felt the terrifying aura of the organization, but after discovering that Kyosuke Fudo was missing, she suddenly felt a gaze like an abyss that she had never experienced before.

Fear is like being trapped in a death spiral.

This is a terrifying murderous aura, which I have never felt before even from Gin. Who... is he...

Anyway, with the reckless personality of a detective like Edogawa, if that person notices us, all of us...will die. . .

Just pretend it doesn't exist, maybe we can live peacefully as usual.

"Conan, how is Sister Xiaolan doing recently?" Ayumi came up to Conan and asked.

"What else can I do? Everything is back to normal. Going to school, doing karate, and managing Uncle Maori are all back to normal." Conan also picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating, saying casually absentmindedly.

"Really? That's great~"

"Sister Xiaolan's memory has been restored. The Junior Detective Team's operation plan has been a great success!"

The three little ones were extremely excited, and they posed with Conan, who looked very resistant, and flowers and banners appeared in the background for no apparent reason. . . .

Conan: Please...

"Doctor, in this case, let's have a party tonight~"

"Agree!"

Conan is eating melons with his eyes wide open. . You are not mistaken, it seems that you didn't contribute anything at all before. .

"Okay, that's a good suggestion." Dr. Agasa said as he fiddled with his miscellaneous scrap metal.

"I can cook dinner." Xiao Ai said calmly, and took out the prepared recipe.

"Great!!"

You guys must have been prepared for this a long time ago.

"It seems like there are no ingredients left in the refrigerator. Let's go to the mall to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner." Dr. Agasa said worriedly while looking at the refrigerator.

Yuan Tai: "Great, let's go buy some eels. I want to eat eel rice!"

. . . . (?_?) Others: You only have eel rice in your mind, right?

"Oh, by the way, I also need to buy some parts. Brother Natsume has gone to school. When he comes back, I want to show him my new invention. Then we can make it together, and it will definitely sell like hot cakes!"

"By then I'll be a multi-millionaire, hahaha~" Dr. Agasa laughed...

"Dr. Agasa, you didn't invent some junk again, did you?" Conan glanced at the alarm clock, scissors and other things on the table...

Ayumi: "Yes, as we all know, everything invented by Dr. Agasa is useless."

Dr. Agasa felt embarrassed and said, "Don't say that."

"And do you remember the way the judges looked at Dr. Agasa's invention last time we went to the TV station?" Yuantai and Mitsuhiko secretly exchanged and laughed.

"Remember, it's like I was going to throw it in the trash can, hehehe..."

"Humph, this time my invention will definitely be recognized by others! And then it will sell like hot cakes..." Dr. Agasa encouraged himself and cheered himself up.

"I hope so, Dr. Agasa, we can set off now." Conan said after cleaning the table.

"Haibara, stop looking at it and let's go together." He said, looking at Ai who was sitting by the window and looked a little indifferent.

"Oh, okay." Xiao Ai put down the recipe and was about to get up, when suddenly, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at her outside the window.

Xiao Ai looked carefully, but there was no human figure. Was she seeing things?

"What's wrong?" Conan asked confusedly.

"No, nothing." Xiao Ai shook her head and kept looking out the window.

Years of organizational life have made her highly alert, which enables her to quickly react to secret thoughts that ordinary people cannot perceive.

Maybe it's good or bad... It's both a power and a shackle of fear.

The three little ones happily went out under the leadership of Dr. Agasa. Ai tied her hair up and put on a hat, following Conan closely.

At this moment, a figure hiding in the wall slowly walked out, looking at the group of elementary school students who seemed to be on a spring outing, and clenched his teeth.

……

Rice Flower Department Store

Rice flower~Hey, Xiao Hei is ecstatic...

"Wow, there are so many goods." Looking at the several-story shopping mall with a wide variety of goods, Yuan Tai said as if he had never seen the world.

"As the largest department store in Mika, it's normal for the Mika Department Store to have a lot of merchandise. Okay, I'm going to buy the materials needed for the experiment. Ai, please take care of them and go buy ingredients for dinner." After giving his instructions, Dr. Agasa left.

Only five primary school students were left standing, three of whom were like a bottle of Coke about to burst, unable to hold back their restless hearts. . .

"I'm telling you guys to stay close to me and don't run around." Xiao Ai put her hands in her pockets and spoke to the other four elementary school students like a big sister.

"Okay~" the three kids said excitedly, but Conan just responded listlessly and boredly.

Xiao Ai lowered her head and looked at the list she had made when she came here, as if she was the only one who was working seriously, "Then let's go buy it first... Wait, where are the people?"

When I came to my senses, I found three dotted circles around Conan, and a mysterious autumn wind blew over...

"They ran away and went to buy what they wanted." Conan shrugged and said indifferently.

"You're not going to take care of them?" Xiao Ai was speechless with surprise. . .

"They are moving as fast as if they were rushing to the cafeteria to grab food. We can't stop them..." Conan just came to his senses and found that there was only dust and smoke around him.

"Don't these guys know how dangerous this is?" Xiao Ai was furious.

Conan: "Why worry? They have detective badges on them, so they won't get lost."

"Hmph, we'll teach them a lesson when we get back." Xiao Ai was just saying this when suddenly, she once again felt a gaze monitoring them.

This time it was clearer! They were coming for them! And... and it felt like they were from the organization.

The identity is exposed...

Xiao Ai lowered the brim of her hat and pulled up her collar to cover her face as much as possible, and looked at the sea of ​​people around her with caution and fear.

This abnormality also attracted Conan's attention, "What's wrong with you?"

"Kudo, I... I feel someone is looking at me..." Ai's pupils were gray and her voice trembled slightly.

"What?! Could it be the organization's?" Conan looked at Ai's appearance and recalled what Ai had said before about her perception of the organization's members, and instantly thought of this situation.

"I don't know, maybe not." Xiao Ai could feel that the feeling this time was not as strong as last time, and there was no fierce murderous aura like that of most members of the organization.

For a moment she wondered if she had guessed wrong.

After all, given the current situation, they shouldn't be discovered.

"Whether it is true or not, let's leave here first." Conan took Ai's hand and was about to take her away.

Xiao Ai nodded, safety is the most important thing now.

Looking at Xiao Ai's uneasy and nervous expression, he smiled and said, "It's okay. Maybe you just felt it wrong. How could the organization appear here?"

"This is a shopping mall. What you sensed might just be a pickpocket hiding in the dark with ill intentions."

After that, a scream came from not far away, "There's a pickpocket! Help catch him!!"

Conan(=?Д?=), Ai←_←: Hehe, it’s true…

A fat otaku wearing a mask and looking like a bad guy rushed out of the crowd, holding an expensive bag in his hand.

"Get out of the way!" The pickpocket rushed over and bumped into Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai stumbled and fell to the ground, and her hat fell off.

"Haibara!" Conan quickly helped Ai up and looked at the hateful pickpocket angrily.

If you dare to bully my companions, I will bring you to justice!

Conan's sense of justice as a detective made him chase after him. Ai wanted to dissuade him from behind, but it was no use, so she had no choice but to follow him.

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!" The pickpocket rushed through the crowd recklessly. For some unknown reason, he knocked down a woman with long golden hair as he rushed past.

The woman didn't react at all and fell to the ground. Conan and Ai chased after her, but they didn't have time to comfort the woman. The most important thing was to catch her.

Now the crowd has finally dispersed, after all, no one wants to be hurt.

Conan seized the opportunity, opened his football belt and BUG shoes, and a football missile hit the void like an arrow, hitting him in the head and sending him flying...

Everyone present was stunned. Are today's primary school students so fierce? ?

But in the world of science, these extras all have the memory of a goldfish, and will forget it in a short while...

Naturally, no one paid attention to it anymore. A security guard came and gave a brief explanation and then... it was over.

Today's case was so quick. However, Conan always creates cases wherever he goes. Even if no one dies, he will destroy the order of the environment.

"Okay, big sister, the bad guy has been caught, are you okay?" Conan noticed the blonde woman who was hit and asked kindly.

"Nothing." The woman seemed to subconsciously cover her face with her hands, glanced at them out of the corner of her eyes, stood up and left quickly.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Conan smiled reassuringly, but in the next moment he saw an extremely shocked expression on Ai's face, and he couldn't believe it.

"What's wrong with you?" Conan asked with a jolt in his heart.

Xiao Ai did not respond. Her mind was already overwhelmed by countless distracting thoughts, but the core of her thoughts was a name, a person she was very familiar with.

Qinlei.

It's Sister Qin Lei! Why is Sister Qin Lei here?

Qinlei, only Xiaoai knows that when she was still in the organization, she was Shirley's only friend and also APTX-4869's research partner.

Ever since my sister passed away and I made up my mind to resist research and development, Qin Lei and I haven't seen each other since her body shrank and she escaped from the organization. I never saw her again.

But why today...

"Well, that big sister seems to have dropped something." Conan noticed that there seemed to be something like an ID card on the ground and was about to go over to pick it up.

At this time, Xiao Ai said calmly with a gloomy face: "Kudo, don't pick it up, let's go back."

Conan was so curious and maybe because of the organization, he didn't listen at all and picked up the certificate.

[Qin Lei, researcher at a biopharmaceutical company]

Qinlei... the name of the wine!!!

Conan's personality changed drastically and he asked Ai: "Who is this Qin Lei? Do you know her?!"

"She is my partner in the organization's research on APTX-4869, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. She is not here to find us." Xiao Ai said in an extremely abnormal way that she was here to find them.

Do you think Conan believes it?

"How is that possible? Since she knows you and appears here, how could she not be coming for us!" Conan was a little anxious, but he didn't understand why Ai thought that way.

"She is definitely not here to find us! And even if she is, she will never do anything bad to us! Don't ask anymore!" Xiao Ai said with certainty and a gloomy face.

"Oh, okay." Conan shook his head. She seemed angry. He didn't understand why Ai would say that. Didn't she hate the organization the most?

"I hope they really aren't here to look for us." Conan could only comfort himself and stuffed the ID into his pocket.

"What are you doing?" Ai looked at Conan's actions and her pupils constricted.

"Take it back and study it, and check her identity at the same time." Conan said casually.

"You're crazy! The organization's certificates are all equipped with transmitters. If you want to die, don't take me with you!" Xiao Ai said anxiously.

"Huh! What!" Conan really didn't know that if he took it back, his house would probably be raided.

"Wipe the fingerprints off and put them back where they belong and leave!"

"Oh...Oh!" Conan nodded, did as he was told, and then quickly hid in a secluded corner with Ai.

At this time, Qin Lei also discovered that her ID had fallen, so she hurried back and was relieved to find that the ID was still there.

But when she picked up the ID, her eyes gloomy, as if she was in a bad mood and thinking about something.

"It seems like she didn't notice." Conan stared at her intently from where he was hiding. (Isn't this peeping...)

"Why are you still peeking at me without giving up?" Ai was about to complain.

Qin Lei took back her ID and sighed. Her eyes seemed confused. She could only shake her head helplessly and turned around silently in the afterglow.

At this moment, a cold voice appeared, "What are you doing here?"

A young man in a black suit and a monocle walked over gloomily and looked at Qin Lei, his eyes dark in the shadows.

! ! ! ! Conan, Xiao Ai! ! This outfit is Fu Huashi!
