Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Sano lit a cigarette and asked an unexpected question: "So are you here to accuse me, or are you here to complain about him?"

"Both sides."

Haiyuan sighed, because both of them were annoying guys.

"I really want to complain about you."

Sano rubbed Haihara Ai's head: "How dare you think about it. Playing such an outrageous substitute technique. Mao Lilan has been with that guy for so long. If he notices something is wrong, he will be with you." Exposed.”

"Then what can be done?"

Haibara Ai tilted her head to avoid Sano's hand, and said expressionlessly: "If you don't do this, he will still have to be exposed. If he is exposed, it will be impossible for me to hide. I hope that Kaitou Ji, who can disguise himself, will Virtue can appear again, but isn’t that impossible? I can only gamble.”

Sano stopped talking, and Haihara Ai also fell silent.

It wasn't until two or three minutes later that there seemed to be some faint movement in the gym behind them. The two of them turned around and saw a certain knight in black lying on the ground, surrounded by everyone in the middle.

"No, the medicine seems to have taken effect!"

Hui Yuan Ai's expression changed and he immediately rushed into the gym.

Regarding the temporary antidote given to Conan, Haibara Ai told the other party that it was in the research and development stage and that if you eat it, you may die. However, in fact, it has been tested by her countless times... although it has not been carried out yet. to the human stage.

But at least the safety is somewhat guaranteed. He said that just to scare the other party, and he didn't want Conan to become too dependent on it.

However, in terms of timeliness, Haihara Ai is really not sure.

Logically speaking, before Mao Lilan's suspicion is dispelled, there is a high probability that he can persevere, but how long he can persevere depends entirely on luck.

... Judging from today's situation, if it develops normally, there will be ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent no problems. But who knew that just today, another case would happen, and this would delay the process. time.

Damn detectives, they are all really plagues!

After Haibara Ai, who was secretly cursing in his heart, blended into the crowd and confirmed that although Kudou Shinichi had fainted, there did not seem to be any signs of changing size, he breathed a sigh of relief and allowed Mao Lilan and the others to take him to the hospital. The school's infirmary.

But beyond this, there is another problem that needs to be solved.

Haibara Ai turned her attention to the noisy melon-eating crowd: "Sano, let everyone present today never leak the reappearance of Kudo Shinichi."

"don't want."

Sano next to him refused without hesitation.

"……ha?"

Haibara Ai never expected to get such an answer, and looked at Sano with wide eyes: "Why?"

Sano stamped out the cigarette butt: "I should be the one to ask why."

"What else could be the reason? Kudo Shinichi, who is supposed to be dead, appears again. If the organization notices it, isn't it telling them that something is wrong?"

Looking at Haibara Ai with questions on his face, Sano shook his head: "No, the reason I'm asking is not why I do this, but why I want to help you."

"for……"

Haihara Ai was stunned: "Because if we are exposed, you who know our identity will also be included in the scope of silencing by the organization!"

"I don't care."

Facing Sano, who looked disheveled, Haibara Ai hit a row of points.

Looking at the gossips who were gradually showing signs of planning to go back to each other's houses, Hui Yuan Ai's slightly confused brain suddenly twitched and he stretched out a finger: "A cake with the most expensive antiques."

Sano raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and lifted one of Haihara Ai's fingers.

"Two pieces, plus a vanilla latte."

Huihara Ai: "...deal."

"Okay."

Sano immediately approached Officer Megure and began to control the situation.

…

Kudo Shinichi quickly woke up after being sent to the infirmary.

This gave those who were worried about it a sigh of relief.

...especially Hattori Heiji. After all, Conan mentioned the last diplomat incident to him. Although there are still many unclear situations, he has every reason to suspect that Kudo Shinichi is going to shrink again. .

Just because Mao Lilan refused to let go of Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji couldn't force him to leave, so he could only worry about it.

Fortunately, nothing major went wrong, and Kudo Shinichi didn't feel any smaller after he woke up.

...In fact, Hattori Heiji still had a lot of doubts in his heart and wanted to ask the other party, but for the same reason as above, he couldn't find a chance to communicate with the other party at all. Even Conan was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn't until "Conan" appeared again and dragged Hattori Heiji to the school's warehouse that his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

"...Are you Kudo?"

Regardless of whether the Conan in front of him was Kudo Shinichi or a substitute found by Kudo Shinichi, he was undoubtedly a teammate who knew about this matter, so Hattori Heiji didn't take it into consideration and asked straight to the point.

"I am not Kudo. The one lying in the infirmary now is the real Kudo Shinichi."

Hui Yuan Ai took off the mask, and without the voice changer underneath, her voice immediately returned to its original state.

Hattori Heiji stared at that face for a few seconds, and finally remembered who this familiar voice was.

"So you are the little girl who has always looked like a young lady... Wait a minute, since Kudo will tell you such dangerous things, could it be said that you are not actually a real child, but are following him? Same?"

After all, he was a famous detective, and Hattori Heiji quickly figured out the logic of the whole thing.

In this regard, Haibara Ai also nodded and admitted: "Yes, just like Kudo Shinichi, I became what I am now after taking that medicine."

"Knew it."

Hattori Heiji asked again: "Then what is the situation now? Why has Kudo changed back to his original state? Has the antidote been found? Then why don't you go back?"

"Is this important?"

Haibara Ai suddenly took a few steps back, and the gradually cold look in his eyes gave Hattori Heiji a bad premonition.

"The important thing is that you, an insider who was deliberately hidden by Kudou Shinichi, actually took the initiative to bump into it. It really saved us a lot of trouble."

"……What?"

Hattori Heiji tilted his neck in confusion, unable to realize what Haibara Ai meant.

"You should know that Kudo Shinichi was fed poison and accidentally turned into a child because he investigated the existence of a black organization."

A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of Hui Yuan Ai's lips: "Aren't you curious as to why I was fed that poison and turned into what I am now?"

Before Hattori Heiji could think about it, Haibara Ai told him the answer directly.

"Because unlike Kudo Shinichi, I took the poison on my own initiative."

"APTX4869, this is a drug that I personally developed. Because it is not perfect, it has been used as a poison."

"When I personally conducted experiments on myself and discovered this unique situation, I immediately conducted a second investigation on all targets who had taken the drug."

"In the end, it was unexpected that Kudo Shinichi was discovered to have slipped through the net."

"Although Kudo Shinichi escaped our silence at the cost of his willingness to cooperate and become experimental material, we still need to deal with other insiders of this matter."

Under Haibara Ai's patient "explanation", Hattori Heiji's body began to feel cold unconsciously, and a look of horror gradually appeared in his eyes, because although the development of the situation was similar to what he thought, at the core point, it was It's completely different.

In a daze, the word "danger" kept growing in Hattori Heiji's mind.

"...In short, we plan to shut you up forever. Do you understand, Hattori?"
