Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Dr. Agasa's house.

Dr. Agasa looked at Huihara Ai, who came up from the basement to pour coffee with dark circles under her eyes, and asked worriedly: "Ai-chan, are you okay? Is the time for research very tight? If it's not too urgent, why don't you take a rest first?"

After the child received an email yesterday, she did not leave the basement except to pour coffee, and she did not even take a break.

In response to Dr. Agasa's suggestion, Huihara Ai just shook her head silently, "I don't want to rest for the time being, but don't worry, Doctor, I know what I'm doing."

She had already finished reading the data that was passed to her, but it only contained the content that she had analyzed... After seeing that content, she was a little unable to sleep.

Haibara Ai only replied to Dr. Agasa with this one sentence, and then silently returned to the basement where she usually worked with her coffee.

Sitting back in front of the computer, she looked at the physical data in front of her, which were obviously the same person at different times. Looking at the data going from the worst state to gradually stabilizing and then starting to get worse and worse, Huihara Ai's face did not look good.

According to her speculation, this physical data is most likely from Li Mu himself, otherwise she would not have asked herself to keep this data report confidential.

And with this incomplete drug data, Haibara Ai took a sip of coffee and began typing quickly on the keyboard with her hands.

She will go on a cruise with the doctor and others in two days, and will not be in Japan for at least a week. So she plans to make some medicine for Limu based on this physical data report and the incomplete drug data to alleviate her current condition.

According to the data, the efficacy of the drug that Li Mu was taking was probably slowly losing its effect, and her body should be beginning to show signs of this. Li Mu must have realized this, so she took the risk of stealing the drug data and her own body data.

Huihara Ai pursed her lips tightly. Just because Limu saved her sister, she must make a medicine for Limu that is better than this one.

Of course, only she herself knew what she was thinking at this moment.

......

A warehouse somewhere in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, wearing a disguise, stood in a warehouse in the corner, looking at the empty warehouse, and fell into deep thought.

According to the female police officer in Fukuoka who was replaced by Limu, she woke up once after being knocked unconscious. Through reasoning, she found that she was in a warehouse complex that was still in operation. Because she could not escape at the time, she left a mark at the place where she was detained.

Later she fell into a coma again, and when she woke up again she found herself in her bed at home. Her kidnappers even left her a warning letter, telling her not to tell anyone, otherwise they would kill her.

In order to avoid being killed suddenly and also to avoid alerting the enemy, the policewoman remained silent for a period of time and even withdrew from the joint investigation team on the pretext of feeling unwell.

It was because of this action of hers that Morobushi Keimitsu and Fūya Rei noticed that something was wrong with her.

After Zhu Fu Jingguang found the policewoman and showed her ID, the policewoman told Zhu Fu Jingguang about her reasoning and the investigation she had conducted secretly.

And told him the location of the warehouse.

"That woman's eyes are not black. I noticed that her cosmetic contact lenses were slightly slipped. Her pupils are blue."

Zhu Fu Jingguang squatted in the corner and looked at the marks left on the dust on the ground. They were traces of ultra-small wheels, somewhat like a swivel chair or a cart. The distance between the wheels...it really looked more like a chair.

The policewoman didn't look particularly heavy, and an average adult should be able to lift her. But even so, even if it would reveal something, Li Mu still needed to use tools.

He thought about what he had thought of when he had close contact with Li Mu before. As expected, Li Mu's body was much worse than that of ordinary people, not to mention those in the organization?

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up and glanced at the warehouse again. It was consistent with the organization's methods. Apart from the pattern left by the policewoman's shoes and the wheel mark in the corner, there were no other traces left.

He turned and walked out, thinking as he walked.

Come to think of it, he had never met anyone with Limu's physique except those who were seriously ill...

What kind of experiments are being conducted in the organization that they would use them on the second generation of the organization like Limu, and Shirley who is being hunted down...

No, wait, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly stopped, someone like this who is in very poor health... He has one by his side! Akikawa's health is also very poor, and her hair and pupils have changed color, which is not a normal experience at first glance!

For some reason, Zhu Fujingguang remembered what the policewoman said, "Her pupils are blue... blue..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang froze in place. He thought of other things, the back of that woman in Nishitama City, and Akikawa who appeared in the crowd of people being tested...

Some things that he had ignored before now seemed like a movie, and every single event that happened at that time appeared in his mind.

The email he received before escaping the organization reminded him that the member of the organization who injured him but did not hurt him vitally, and Qiu Chuan who happened to appear and save him when he was being hunted down...

The rebellion was accomplished too easily...

A bad guess arose in Zhu Fu Jingguang's mind, and this guess instantly made his clothes on the back soaked with cold sweat.

He looked at his mobile phone which he had taken out out of habit, and did not immediately share his guess with his childhood friend and colleague as usual. This time was different from before. He could not tell anyone without solid evidence.

Zhu Fu Jingguang had to admit that he had selfish motives.

As someone who has watched the relationship between the two people develop all the way to the present, he really couldn't do what he did in the past and directly tell You Xunran his speculations without evidence, and then have the two of them analyze their own situations together, and finally go their separate ways to find evidence to confirm the results of the analysis.

He was afraid that Akikawa was really as he guessed. If that was true, it would be an extremely sad thing for both Zero and Akikawa if he told Zero so rashly.

Zhu Fu Jingguang put the phone back and continued walking out.

Fortunately, things have not reached the worst point. In addition to the fact that they have reached a relatively pleasant cooperation with Limu, according to the information he and Zero currently have, Limu, as the second generation of the organization, is very different from other people in the organization.

There was just one more thing he needed to check, and he needed to be more cautious.

......

Akikawa Sarina, who didn't know that Morobushi Keimitsu almost stripped her naked body with just one sentence, was lying in a private beauty salon with Vermouth receiving a full body beauty treatment.

Because there were outsiders present, the two of them only talked about some topics that could be heard by outsiders. Vermouth and Akikawa Sarana, who had not aged, looked like sisters, and the age difference between the two was completely invisible.

However, after the two of them chatted for a few sentences, they stopped and enjoyed the rare quiet time.

After the beautician who had finished the treatment for the two of them left quietly, Vermouth slightly opened her eyes. With a bit of tiredness after being completely relaxed, she glanced at Akikawa Sarina who was lying on the bed next to her and seemed to be asleep.

As if she noticed Vermouth's gaze, Akikawa Sarana opened her eyes. With clear eyes, she knew that the relaxing massage just now had no effect on her.

"Why, this is not like you." Vermouth closed her eyes again with a faint smile on her face.

"I was too tired recently, and now I'm a little uncomfortable with relaxing."

It had been a long time since she had been as tense as she was in the last mission, especially since she had to take into account the clever people on the Red Team and change her original plan at any time. Of course, this cleverness was not a derogatory term, if those people were not so clever, she would not be so tired.

Vermouth was silent for a moment, then asked without any context, "Will that time come next month?"

"Yeah." Akikawa Sarina knew that she was asking about the time she would go to the laboratory this year.

"Do you hate me?" Vermouth asked lightly, without any emotion in her words.

"I hated you when I was a kid."

Akikawa Sarina raised her lips with a smile that seemed like a prank and also contained some self-mockery. "At that time, every time I took medicine, I would curse you eight hundred times in my heart."

Hearing her words, Vermouth also laughed, a laugh that came from the heart, "What now?"

Hearing her mention the present, the arc on Akikawa Sarina's mouth turned straight again, "I no longer hate you, or should I thank you for giving me a choice under that situation back then?"

She really couldn't kill children of similar age to survive, especially since she was an adult with an adult soul.

Vermouth was silent. She seemed to see again the stubborn but silent black-haired girl, who looked just like her mother when she was young. However, she had more temperament than her mother, which was not something that people in an organization like theirs should have. She belonged to those people in the sun.

Even though this child has hidden herself very well for more than twenty years, as someone who has watched her grow up and taught her how to hide her emotions and how to act, Vermouth can naturally discover her true feelings hidden beneath her lunatic-like appearance.

The two fell into silence again. Just when Akikawa Sarana thought that Vermouth was not going to chat with her anymore and she stood up to leave, the other party spoke again.

"Sarina, do you know the Silver Bullet?"

This was one of the few times that Vermouth called Akikawa Sarana's name after she got the code name.

Her tone no longer had the usual lazy and calmness. Although her eyes were closed, her tone was much more serious than in every other conversation that Akikawa Sarana had had with her since they met.

"Silver bullet?" Akikawa Sarana had naturally heard of this, no matter what the meaning was.

But I don’t know whether the silver bullet in Vermouth’s words refers to the traditional silver bullet, or the extended meaning is the "silver bullet shot at the heart of the organization."

"I've read the last mission report."

Vermouth still had his eyes closed. Although the organization's report was not long, a large-scale mission like this still required a mission process report. "You seem to have blurred some content."

"Just some unimportant stuff."

Akikawa Sarana was not nervous at all. She turned around and sat on the sofa in the room. She poured herself a glass of water and said, "It's the Maori Kogoro that you guys are all staring at. I think since you all think that there is nothing wrong with that confused detective, you are too lazy to report his affairs."

She said as if she had thought of something, "Oh, right, Bourbon should have taken Rum's job to investigate that confused detective, so I don't think there is anything to report."

Vermouth had long known that Limu had appeared next to the people she cared about, and had even had contact with the two children, and might have even met that woman Shirley.

In the past, she would never dare to let anyone from the organization get close to the two children, not even Li Mu. But recently she changed her mind. Since Li Mu is a different existence in the organization, she can use Li Mu's hand to reveal more intelligence to the cool guy.

She believed that Limu would also be happy.

She had invited Limu here today for this matter. She knew that Limu would board the ship tomorrow, and the two children were on it. There was a dangerous Bourbon following them, and Vermouth was really worried, so she wanted Limu to protect the two children from Bourbon.

"I met a 'silver bullet,' you know who I'm talking about."

Vermouth opened her eyes, and she also sat up and looked at Limu who was sitting on the sofa, "I will help you cover up your little actions, but you have to promise me one thing."

Akikawa Sarana put down the water cup in her hand. She knew what Vermouth was going to say, "You say."

"Don't hurt the two children around Maori Kogoro."

She said in a serious tone, "That child is hope."

Vermouth did not say who it was because she knew that Limu must know who she was talking about.

"Okay, I promise you." Akikawa Sarana also said seriously.

Hearing her promise, Vermouth lay back down again. Her tone was full of meaning, "I will help you cover up the news about the two policemen from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1."

She was the one who personally picked up Limu when he was a child, so she naturally still remembered the two little boys.

Akikawa Sarina closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again. She looked at Vermouth, "Then it's settled."

It's a good thing that everyone has weaknesses, so that we can trust each other without any worries.

She stood up again and said, "I will be out to sea tomorrow, so I may not be able to receive news at any time."

She went there on behalf of the company this time, and although she stayed in the highest-end suite kindly provided by Suzuki Sonoko, it was still a business trip after all.

Vermouth warned worriedly: "Be careful of Bourbon when you are working with him. He has too many tricks up his sleeve. Be careful that he might plot against you."

She said this sincerely. After all, although she had some feelings for Limu, and because of her parents' relationship, he was more or less her nephew. The two of them were now working together again. Vermouth didn't want to see Limu being deceived by Bourbon, that bad guy.

"I see."
