Yuecheng Xuejian took the elevator to the basement. This house had been specially modified, and the elevator went directly from the third floor to the basement. From the outside, it looked like just a closet filled with clothes.

Miyano Akemi did not show up. She had told the other party to hide when she heard the sound of the elevator running, because she could not guarantee that this place was impregnable. When she heard her voice, she counted to three, and did not hear other people talking before she showed up again.

Mingmei followed the instructions and crawled out from under the stone slab, holding the little hamster in her arms. The little hamster was a gift from her to Mingmei. She was afraid that Mingmei would become depressed because she had not seen the sun or strangers for many years.

This basement is not very big. You have to open a heavy iron door after you get out of the elevator to see the whole picture. The decoration style is simple and warm. A table, a chair and a bed are all Mingmei's current belongings.

She came over eagerly, wanting to hear what Xuejian said about the outside world, especially whether there was any news about Shiho. After being rescued by Xuejian, she learned from her a few days later that her sister had stopped her research in protest of her death and was thrown into the gas chamber. Although Xuejian said that Shiho had escaped and no one knew where she had gone, no news was good news. But Mingmei was still worried. She cried secretly for several times because of this, and she had already determined that she was dragging her sister down.

Before she could say anything, Xue Jian spoke up. "I saw Shirley."

Mingmei grabbed her hand excitedly, "Really? Where is she? How is she now? Has she gained weight or lost weight? Can I see her?" Then she came to her senses, "You saw her, does that mean, she, she..." She was caught by the organization.

Xuejian interrupted her wandering thoughts in time, "She is fine, the organization has not discovered her existence yet. She was accompanying her companion to see a doctor, and happened to visit my clinic."

Mingmei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Shiho was safe, she didn't care about anything else. She asked again, "Your clinic..."

"Yes, just now, she was standing above your head." Xuejian observed Mingmei's expression, not wanting to miss any of her subtle changes. "I'm sorry that I can't let you sisters recognize each other. She has changed a lot, and her companions don't know her true identity. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Mingmei covered her mouth to stop herself from crying. Xuejian had done enough for her. She thought that her relationship with Xuejian when they were in the organization was not good enough to the point of being at each other's throats, not to mention that everything the other party said made sense.

She shook her head, trying to maintain her dignity. "Thank you, Xuejian. You have helped me a lot. As long as Shiho is still alive and well in this world, I will be satisfied."

Is this a relative? Xuejian still couldn't figure it out. "As long as Shirley is alive and well, it doesn't matter if you can't leave the basement for the rest of your life and live in hiding?" She added, "If you ask me to, I can protect her." Although Shirley already has the strongest bodyguard, Akai Shuichi, by her side.

Xuejian obviously underestimated Mingmei's love for her sister. She agreed without thinking, "Of course. Xuejian, I really don't know how to thank you. Is it too much trouble for you?"

"No, it's just a matter of convenience. I'll probably see Shirley more often in the future." Seeing that Mingmei still hadn't considered herself, Xuejian decided to take drastic measures. "Shirley has become smaller, like a child, and is now hanging out with a group of elementary school students. I don't think the organization will investigate the files of all the elementary school students in the city."

"As for you, your clinic often receives members of the organization, especially Gin. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were discovered?"

When Mingmei heard about Gin, her face turned pale, but she quickly remained calm and asked Xuejian, "If I were discovered, you would also be punished. Xuejian, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you save me?"

Xuejian tilted her head. She didn't expect Mingmei to ask this question, and she really didn't know the answer.

"To make up for the regret." When I watched anime, I couldn't bear to part with you. "Also, I want to know how deep your love for Shirley is, and why you love her so much that you are willing to sacrifice your life for her."

My first impression of you was just Haibara Ai's sister. I always wondered what kind of good sister you must be to make Haibara Ai lose control of her emotions and cry while hugging Conan.

Mingmei was stunned by the question. She said blankly, "Why? Because we are sisters. I am Shiho's elder sister. Isn't it normal for an elder sister to care about her younger sister? Besides, in the organization, it has always been Shiho who protected me. We are each other's closest family, and it is natural for us to sacrifice for each other."

As it should be, right? But why was there no one visiting me when I was lying on the hospital bed dying? Aren’t they all my relatives?

Xuejian felt like she was drowned in the sea water, her body was salty, and her face was covered with bitter water. Why has no one ever taken my love for granted? I even asked a person who was supposed to be dead in the game why she loved her relatives. Mingmei must think my question is ridiculous.

Miyano Akemi panicked. Why was Xuejian crying? She remembered the rumors in the organization that Xuejian was bought from her father by Gin. She realized that she had said the wrong thing. She hurriedly comforted her, holding Xuejian in her arms and letting her lean on her knees.

"Don't cry, don't cry, sister will protect you and drive away the bad guys." She unconsciously used the tone of voice she used when she was a child to coax Shiho, speaking childish words. At that time, she was only a teenager, and Shiho was found to have inherited her parents' extraordinary talents, so Boss planned to send Shiho to study in Eagle Country.

Shiho, who was not even old enough to go to primary school, cried and begged me not to go, and she nestled in her arms. But she knew that the group of men in black had lost their patience. After coaxing Shiho to sleep, she quietly injected her with tranquilizers and personally sent her sister to the plane. The next time they met was when Shiho returned to her country after completing her studies and took over her parents' research. They only saw each other briefly once a month under surveillance.

She knew that she was mediocre and her only use was to be Shiho's hostage. She was angry many times in the middle of the night that she had no sense of responsibility as a sister, that she could not protect her sister from the wind and rain, and even caused her sister to hide from place to place from then on.

Mingmei looked at Xuejian. Now her only use was probably to take care of Xuejian's mood and let her feel a little warmth. This poor woman had never received kindness from others. The only time, it was covered with a veil of deception, which caused her a lot of suffering. The better she treated Xuejian, the better Xuejian would treat Shiho. It didn't matter if she became a child. She hoped that Shiho could enjoy a complete childhood this time.

Mingmei believes that she and Shiho will definitely be reunited.

"Let me ask you, who is Yukishiro Yukimi? You only get scared when you sense someone from the Black Organization. Just now in the clinic, you were so scared that your hands were shaking. Is Yukishiro Yukimi related to the organization?"

On the other side, Conan was anxiously asking Haibara Ai what was wrong with Tsukishiro Yukimi. Although he was asking questions, he had already determined most of it in his heart: Mr. Amuro and Mr. Akai had acted so strangely after seeing Tsukishiro Yukimi at Polo Cafe before, where else could they have a common acquaintance? Of course, it was the organization.

Haibara Ai still didn't dare to tell Kudo that the fighting power of Jibsen was no different from that of a scientific researcher like her, but those who went to her for treatment were all martial artists, not to mention Gin. When she thought of Gin, she couldn't tell him. If Kudo knew about it, he would definitely rush in like a headless fly.

She made up her mind and turned her head. "I don't know what you are talking about. I am in a bad mood because Subaru Okiya is too close to me." Huibara Ai said, "So who is Subaru Okiya who lives in your house? You seem to know him very well. Did you know him before?"

Conan was speechless now, and just laughed it off, "What are you guessing? How do Mr. Okiya and I know each other? We just hit it off at first sight because we both like Sherlock Holmes."

Having interrupted the conversation, Haibara Ai had no intention of asking more questions. She closed the door and sent Conan away.

Sitting back on the sofa, Haibara Ai was still a little scared. Did Gipson recognize her? She was a child now, so she probably wouldn't recognize him. What if she actually recognized him, but just wanted to report it directly to Gin, so she didn't show any emotion?

After being driven out by Haibara Ai, Conan walked towards the office with his hands in his pockets with a lost look.

There must be something wrong with Tsukishiro Yukimi. Didn't he see that Huibara was deliberately changing the subject? He was just as stiff as Mr. Akai last time. Oh, right? Isn't there Amuro-nii? Conan stopped and looked at the cafe with warm yellow lights.

Conan has now confirmed that Toru Amuro is an undercover agent sent by the Public Security Bureau to the organization. It should be okay to ask him about people who are suspected to be members of the organization.

The Poirot Café was about to close. As usual, Natsumoto Azusa fed the cat at the door. When she was about to close the door, Conan ran over with a sweet smile on his face and said, "Sister Azusa, is Amuro brother here?" After getting a positive answer, he ran into the café.

Amuro Toru was arranging tables and chairs. He saw Conan sitting at the bar with a big smile on his face, waiting for him to finish work. His legs were shaking, and he knew that the little detective had another question for him. He liked this child very much and often told Jingguang that if all the children in Liben were as smart, brave and upright as Conan, Liben's future would not be a problem.

Having said that, he sometimes got annoyed by the kid's relentless pursuit of truth, especially since the kid always liked to meddle in dangerous matters like the organization.

After collecting his thoughts, Toru Amuro said to Azusa Natsumoto, "Miss Azusa, you can go back first. Leave the rest of the work to me." After the two of them saw Azusa Natsumoto off, Toru Amuro said to Conan, "What other questions do you want to ask me, little detective?"

Conan asked him directly, "Brother Amuro, is Tsukishiro Yukimi related to the Black Organization in any way? For example, is she the organization's personal doctor?"

The tender voice of a child coupled with words that contained a lot of information made Toru Amuro's pupils tremble. "Who told you that?"
