Conan's other self

Belmore's guess was correct, it was Akai Shuichi who was threatening her life at this moment.

Life could end at any time, but Belmode was in a good mood. Although the trap she set became a trap set by others for herself, her main purpose was achieved anyway.

Looking at Feng Yuan, Belmore put some distance between him and said, "It's really amazing. Even Akai Shuichi is included in your plan..."

When she pretended to be the FBI and went to the other party's stronghold to inquire about information, she didn't even get any information about Shuichi Akai, and Shuichi Akai didn't play a role in Judy's plan at all...

Now it seems that Akai Shuichi himself does not trust his teammates and deliberately concealed his existence, but he trusts the cool boy so much...

Fengyuan still didn't reply, but watched the laser red dot move from Belmod's forehead to the upper right. Considering the current wind direction and speed, Shuichi Akai was ready to shoot at any time.

However, Maplehara promised Akai Shuichi that Bellmore would have to be handled by him, so Maplehara did not take any unnecessary action.

And Belmore was also ready to run away.

"I will never attack Shirley again...and in exchange..." Belmore blinked at Fengyuan, and then put on Kudo Yukiko's voice, "Forgive me for my willfulness tonight, Xiaoxin?"

"..."

She stood in the cold wind and waved in the direction of Akai Shuichi, as if to say goodbye. Then she turned her head and blew a kiss to Feng Yuan before jumping into the water.

She didn't emerge from the water right away, so apparently that was her escape route...she planned to escape by diving.

Before that, Akai Shuichi obviously had enough time to shoot, but he didn't fire a single shot.

What a hassle…

Fengyuan glanced in the direction of the black tool truck and vaguely saw that the car had started and was going down the road.

Maybe he wanted to catch someone alive...

Feng Yuan looked away and couldn't help but sneeze. His body was still wet, and he felt like he was going to catch a cold again this time. Fortunately, Kudo Shinichi learned to drive a speedboat in Hawaii, and Maple originally planned to drive the speedboat back first.

Hui Yuan Ai is still waiting for him to return.

…

On the bridge, the Megure Police Department was preparing to mobilize police officers and speedboats to search for the kidnappers and Maplehara who was taken away by the kidnappers. After seeing Maplehara rushing back on his own, Chief Megure breathed a long sigh of relief.

The recent serial disappearances of children have left the Metropolitan Police Department worried. This time, a familiar child was taken away. Therefore, as soon as they received the report from Dr. Agasa, the Megure Police Department dropped what they were doing and immediately went into action. .

Fortunately, Maplehara and Haibara Ai, who were taken away, had transmitters made by Dr. Ali, and they quickly caught up with them. Unfortunately, the gangster seemed to be aware of the police's quick response and decisively gave up his target and fled the scene.

The other party was in disguise, and the children didn't know what the other party looked like, so the clues were cut off like this - except for the car and the speedboat left by the other party.

But in any case, this criminal operation was stopped.

Maplehara and Haibara Ai could no longer leave the matter of taking notes to Conan, because Conan's matters were negotiated between the FBI and the police.

Since Maplehara was wet now, Officer Takagi took him to take a shower and change clothes first, and asked the doctor to check him out. Haibara Ai sat in the Metropolitan Police Department with Dr. Agasa who arrived later and waited for Maplehara to come back. Take notes together.

Hui Yuan Ai was a little silent.

The look in Belmode's eyes made her feel something was wrong, and she wanted to ask Fengyuan something, but there were always police around, and Fengyuan needed to deal with himself, so she didn't have the chance to ask for the time being.

But...he must be hiding something from himself.

Thinking this way, Dr. A Li's mobile phone rang.

Dr. A Li took a look and found that it was an unknown number. It was late at night, and thinking that it might be Conan calling from another phone, Dr. A Li immediately answered the call.

But the opposite is not Conan.

"PhD?"

"Uh...Teacher Judy?"

"Yes! It's me!"

Downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency, Judy was leaning against the car door. She had already sent Conan and Xiaolan back. "I have heard about what happened over there. Conan told me that Xiao Kong and Xiao Ai are now Maybe with you..."

"Ah, yes..."

Because he had communicated with Maplehara and the others before, the doctor also knew that Mr. Judy was actually the FBI, so he spoke with confidence.

"I have something to tell Xiao Ai, is that okay?"

"okay…"

The doctor moved the phone to his ear and looked at Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting beside him and had been silent, "Xiao Ai..."

Hui Yuan Ai raised his head.

"Teacher Judy is looking for your phone number..."

Hui Yuarai was stunned for a moment, then took the phone, listened to a few words, and walked towards a deserted corner.

"It's okay now." Hui Yuarai said softly. Judy wanted to talk to her alone, and neither of them really wanted anyone else to know.

"Let me get straight to the point," Judy said. "We want you to accept our witness protection program."

"Eh?"

"I already know what happened to you. You should know, right? Chrissy Wynyard, the woman known as Belmode is going to kill you and silence you..."

"Um."

"That is to say, you have very unfavorable information about her, right? This plan is a system for protecting witnesses after we provide evidence. It can change your name and address into another person completely...

Of course, it's up to you whether to accept it or not.

Once you decide, you can no longer see your friends and family, and you can't even make phone calls... But if you are afraid of the woman's revenge, and if you don't want your friends to be involved..."

Judy paused, "I know this kind of decision is difficult to make. I'm waiting for your good news..."

"I refuse." Hui Yuan Ai replied without hesitation.

It might be safer to change her name and address and become a complete stranger...just like her sister, but she also experienced the feeling of worrying about her sister being discovered and missing her sister.

She believed her sister was the same.

She also promised her sister and Kudo that she would not miss it.

"And someone told me," Haihara Ai continued, "that I should not run away... He did the same thing... so I don't want to run away..."

"Really... It really is like that..."

"You won't object, right?"

"Yes, of course," Judy said, "As an FBI agent, I absolutely object...but as a girl who has been hunted before...I hope you can cherish this feeling..."

Judy hung up the phone.

She sat in the cold wind for a while before sitting back in her car. A man in black was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Refused?"

"Well, I refused very decisively."

"Just like you when you were a child," James said with a nostalgic look, "...rejected the witness protection program, and as a condition of participation, strongly requested to enter the FBI..."

"...What did Xiu say?" Judy suddenly changed the subject.

She already knew from James what Shuichi Akai had just done, and therefore roughly knew the situation around the real Haibara Ai. But what she didn't understand was why Shuichi Akai let Belmode go.

Do you also want to catch someone alive...

James recalled the conversation with Shuichi Akai.

…

"Oh...that's because I was underestimated."

In the black tool cart, Akai Shuichi said.

"What's the meaning?"

"After discovering that I was sniping at her, she deliberately distanced herself from the child... This was because she was worried that I would hurt the child..."

"That kind of person can also...?"

"No, no," Akai Shuichi took a cigarette and lit it, "Don't you understand yet? This shows that the child is very important to her...more important than her life..."

"The prey has a weakness..."
