Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1462: Disappearance of Huiyuan Ai
At this moment, in addition to being nervous and uneasy, Haibara Ai was more confused.

Why does Wakasa Rumi seem so familiar with the organization's affairs?
Not only did she know Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, she even seemed to know some of Rum's secrets, as well as the secrets that Rum wanted to know.

Because the gunman from that organization didn't seem to be planning to shoot Wakasa Rumi in the short term.

This means that Rum has agreed to Wakasa Rumi's request for a meeting.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

The large patch of sunset shining in front of the window gradually shifted until it completely faded away.

The entire building became dark.

In this depressing atmosphere, Haibara Ai's breathing unconsciously became heavier.

Scotch Whiskey, who was standing on the other side, trembled slightly and raised his leg to walk towards the waste building materials.

Haibara Ai, who was looking outside through the gap, suddenly had her pupils shrink and she quickly covered her mouth and held her breath.

And Wakasa Rumi also moved sideways to stop Scotch Whiskey.

"what are you up to?"

"check."

"It's not necessary."

Wakasa Rumi's tone was cold and her attitude was firm.

Although there was no strong hostility in Scotch Whiskey's eyes, there was no evasion at all.

Just then, rhythmic footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Haibara Ai looked in that direction and saw a bald old man wearing a black leather jacket standing at the door.

Whether it's the dress or the appearance, he looks unattractive.

Haibara Ai even thought that the old night watchman of this abandoned building heard some noise in the building and came in to check.

But the next second, an invisible black wave swept through Huibara Ai's little heart.

Haibara Ai's eyes suddenly widened. She dared not look at the bald old man anymore and pressed her hands tightly on her heaving chest.

"I am coming……"

Rum walked over to Scotch and stood across from Wakasa Rumi.

"Tell me what you know about the secret of that 'ship' and who else knows my identity..."

"Then I can consider letting you die more peacefully."

Rum's head drooped slightly, but his eyes stared at Wakasa Rumi sinisterly.

The originally honest and simple square face and wide chin were also tainted with a fierce and cold aura.

In his words, the secret about the "ship" was obviously more important than to whom his identity was exposed and how much was exposed.

Wakasa Rumi on this side should not be underestimated either. Her eyebrows are raised and a crazy smile with a quirk is revealed at the corner of her mouth.

This sudden change made Rum on the opposite side a little stunned and his brows slightly frowned.

"Humph……"

"No wonder mother always calls you 'an ordinary and confident old man'. Just because you inherited your father's code name, do you really think of yourself as the second in command of the organization?"

"You've been accustomed to flattery for so many years. Has no one ever told you that your ability does not match your ambition?"

Wakasa Rumi's words were quite provocative.

This made Rum on the opposite side stunned for the first moment, and his brain was unable to react.

Even if he racked his brains, he would never have thought that the female bodyguard who escaped from him 17 years ago would say such words when she was surrounded by him.

The next second, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he was very angry, he still forced himself to keep his expression steady and maintained a sinister smile.

"very good……"

"If this is your last words, then I will grant you your wish!"

Rum suddenly pulled out a gun with lightning speed and pointed the muzzle at Wakasa Rumi's head.

Piu——!
The bullet flew out of the gun at high speed.

But just when the bullet was about to hit her, Wakasa Rumi turned her head and dodged the bullet.

Seeing this, Rum wanted to fire a second shot.

But before he could pull the trigger, the left eye with a translucent pupil suddenly became hot.

The burning sensation was accompanied by a sharp, stinging pain, as if a red-hot iron rod had pierced through the forehead and penetrated deep into the brain.

"Bah..."

Rum dropped the gun in his hand to the ground. He knelt on one knee, covered his left eye with his left hand, and used his willpower to resist the pain.

Wakasa Rumi, who was standing opposite him, stared at him, and her smile, which was tainted with a weird quirk, became more provocative, even with a hint of contempt.

"Scotch, kill her!"

Rum turned his head and angrily shouted orders to the Scotch next to him.

Scotch pulled out his pistol and was about to raise his hand to aim, but was glared at by Wakasa Rumi.

The next moment, Scotch Whiskey seemed to be restrained by some invisible force, and its body began to twitch.

"Scotch!"

Rum covered his left eye, glanced at Scotch next to him and shouted.

But even this was of no avail, as Scotch Whiskey's body seemed unable to move freely.

"What on earth did you do!"

Rum turned his head and glared at Wakasa Rumi, roaring while enduring the severe pain in his left eye.

Wakasa Rumi slowly approached and said coldly: "I said that your ability is not enough to support your ambition..."

“You have been able to climb to where you are today by relying on the strength of others.”

"You inherited your father's title, snatched the eyes of others, and even few of your confidants were trained by yourself..."

"What a pathetic man."

Rum stared at Wakasa Rumi in a daze.

It was not until this moment that a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes.

This woman actually knows so many of my secrets!

Not only the origin of the code name "Rum", but also the origin of the eyes and the origin of each confidant...

"W-who are you!"

Rum opened his eyes wide in horror and asked almost angrily.

But Wakasa Rumi did not answer his question.

She walked over to Scotch and took the pistol in the latter's hand.

"You don't need to know..."

"Because you're useless, Rum."

Just as Wakasa Rumi was about to pull the trigger, a flash bomb fell out from Rum's sleeve.

A dazzling white light suddenly flashed, and Wakasa Rumi subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes.

When the white light faded, only Scotch whisky was left in the hall, and the rum was nowhere to be seen.

Wakasa Rumi hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran to the window.

I saw a bald man downstairs quickly get into the Bentley S3 parked on the side of the road.

Then the car started and sped away from the scene.

Wakasa Rumi looked at the black Bentley car that was getting farther and farther away, and curled the corner of her mouth in disdain.

At the same time, Haibara Ai, who was hiding in the waste pile, looked at the situation on the field in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, was forced to use a flash bomb to escape!
And it looks like Wakasa Rumi didn't do anything!

At the same time, Wakasa Rumi walked back from the window to Scotch Whisky and stared at him expressionlessly. She said calmly, "The era of rum is over..."

"You will just follow me from now on."

After saying that, Wakasa Rumi threw the pistol in front of Scotch.

The next second, the invisible force exerted on Scotch Whiskey suddenly disappeared, and his movements became smooth again.

Wakasa Rumi turned around and walked straight towards the scrap pile, not worrying at all that Scotch Whisky might stab her in the back.

"Come out, it's over."

Wakasa Rumi came to the waste pile and looked at Haibara Ai who was squatting inside.

Haibara Ai looked up at Wakasa Rumi, her porcelain doll-like face still showing an expression of shock and astonishment.

At this moment, there were many unanswered questions in her mind.

But when she met Wakasa Rumi face to face, she couldn't ask anything.

Moreover, her legs had become numb from squatting from the beginning until now. Just as she was about to stand up, her legs suddenly went limp.

Fortunately, Wakasa Rumi reached out and supported her in time.

"Be careful~"

Wakasa Rumi's tone was a little gentle, although not much, but it was much more comfortable than when she was facing Rum just now.

Then he took Haibara Ai out of the waste pile.

When Haibara Ai came out, she first glanced at Scotch Whiskey who was still standing there in a daze, then turned to look at Wakasa Rumi.

"who are you?"

Haibara Ai turned her head and stared at Wakasa Rumi and asked with a serious face.

Wakasa Rumi was stunned for a moment, then she squinted her eyes a little more relaxedly.

"I told you before, we all have the same mother, so we are sisters."

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to see her."

Wakasa Rumi's tone was flat, as if she was stating an indisputable fact.

"Elena Miyano?" Haibara Ai asked tentatively.

Wakasa Rumi nodded in affirmation.

And in Haibara Ai's mind, she couldn't help but recall that person's voice.

To be honest, Haibara Ai...or Miyano Shiho doesn't have a very accurate impression of their mother Miyano Elena.

The only accurate impression comes from the tape left by Elena Miyano.

The voice in the tape was extremely gentle and full of maternal love, satisfying all her beautiful fantasies about her mother.

However, it was only limited to the voice and the imagination of the smile and frown of the face named "mother" in my mind.

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to muster up the courage to try to understand the fate she had been carrying since birth.

Even though she knew that no matter what was waiting ahead, it would be difficult to turn back.

But this was her fate and she no longer wanted to escape it.

"take me."

Haibara Ai's words were short but powerful.

Wakasa Rumi's attitude remained rather indifferent, showing neither happiness nor disappointment.

"Okay, but you have to throw away the communication device you carry with you..."

"That place is very secretive, and mother doesn't want anyone to track your location through the device on you."

Haibara Ai was slightly stunned, but still took out the mobile phone from her pocket and threw it on the concrete floor.

"Is this okay?"

"Well, let's go."

……

On the other side, Conan was still tracking Haibara Ai's location on the street.

Without the location of the detective badge, Conan can only rely on the most basic reasoning to find the possible escape route of Haibara Ai.

Generally speaking, when facing a killer's pursuit, it is easier to hide in a crowded place and escape the killer's pursuit.

So, Conan followed the main road closest to Teitan Elementary School, and after unremitting efforts, he finally picked up a Little Red Riding Hood on the sidewalk.

This is exactly the hat that Haibara Ai is wearing on her head today!
Conan gritted his teeth and looked around, trying to find more clues.

It was almost evening at this time, and the streets were filled with pedestrians who had just got off work. They were in such a hurry that it was impossible for them to have seen Haibara Ai.

Conan could only turn his head and look at the alley that the side of his hat was facing.

Now we can only bet, will Haibara Ai escape to the alley or continue to escape along the main road?

After weighing his options, Conan decided to turn into the alley.

After entering the alley and walking along the back street for about 100 meters, an abandoned building caught Conan's attention.

There are no residential buildings near this building, and there are few pedestrians passing by the door, making it a suitable location for hide-and-seek.

And if the killer was still chasing Haibara Ai and the unknown adult from behind, it would be even more difficult to hide in the blocks ahead.

Thinking of this, Conan opened the cover of his watch and sneaked into the building.

……

In the dim building, Conan held the watch-shaped anesthetic needle on his right arm, always aiming.

In order not to alert the killer who might be lurking in the building, he did not turn on the flashlight function on his watch and explored each floor carefully.

layer……

Second floor...

Three floors...

Up to this point, Conan has not found any clues in the building.

Since the ground here is still an unfinished cement floor, there are no footprints or anything like that.

Just when Conan was regretting coming up to search the building, he saw a small mountain of waste building materials on the floor of the fourth-floor lobby.

Conan first looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else here, he walked quietly to the waste pile.

He leaned over to take a look at the space in the middle of the waste pile and found that there was enough space for an elementary school student to hide there.

But the bad news is that there is no Haibara Ai in it.

There was no choice but Conan to look away. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he kicked something on the ground.

He squatted on the ground, turned on the flashlight function of his watch and saw that it was actually a mobile phone.

And it’s Haibara Ai’s cell phone!
The evidence is that there is a small pendant with a Q version image of Bihu Longyou hanging on the phone!
Huihara has indeed been here!

Conan picked up the phone, tapped the screen, and found that the screen could not light up.

But apart from a few scratches, the phone's casing had no signs of serious bumps.

Could it be...

Conan pressed and held the power button with his thumb, and the phone screen lit up.

I opened the address book to check the call records, and sure enough, there was the call from me half an hour ago.

However, although Haibara Ai clearly received her own call, she did not answer it. Instead, she chose to turn off the phone.

This can only mean one thing.

That is, the person chasing her was a killer sent by the organization, and he may have already discovered her true identity.

In order not to implicate herself, she chose to cut off contact.

And now, her cell phone fell near the hiding place, but she was missing. There was only one possibility.

She was captured by the organization!
