The three of them chatted for a while, and then Haibara Ai also came over. She came alone.

Professor Agasa took the children back first. If Xiaolan asks about Conan, just say that Conan and the children went back with Dr. Agasa to play games.

As for Haibara Ai, she was going to see why Kudo Shinichi was able to maintain his physical condition this time, and to remind him that it would be better to stay out of the spotlight and not appear in front of everyone like last time.

Finally, she secretly drew a tube of Kudo Shinichi's blood, and told him to go to the doctor's house after Kudo Shinichi returned and let her check his body carefully to find out what component had kept him unchanged this time.

Kudo Shinichi also wanted Haibara Ai to develop an antidote as soon as possible so that he could restore his original identity. Upon hearing this, he nodded hurriedly in agreement.

When Xiaolan and the others came back, they were followed by a resentful Maori Kogoro and a smiling Officer Otaki: "You left without telling me. I stayed in the temple to solve the mystery. It was not until the Buddha statues were sent back that I realized you had found the murderer's lair..."

Well, they really seem to have forgotten about Kogoro Mori.

Officer Otaki said he wanted to pick up Hattori Kazuha and take him back. It happened that Kudo Shinichi's cold symptoms had already recovered last night, so they parted ways. Chu Ming was not willing to drive again, so he just left the car in front of Sannoji Temple and sent a message for someone to come and drive it away. He then got into Mouri Kogoro's car.

When they returned to Tokyo, Chu Ming got off the car at the intersection. Looking at Kudo Shinichi, who was still lingering in the car and should have gotten off with him, Chu Ming did not remind him.

Some people have been playing Conan for so long that they really treat the detective agency as their own home.

After Chu Ming returned, he simply started updating his article which had been discontinued for a long time and posted the sequel.

After being informed by Hideko, Nami was detained in a small dark room behind the cold palace.

The room was pitch black, and even colder at night. She huddled in a corner, hugging her knees, and felt that Hideko looked more and more familiar the more she thought about it.

——It’s her!

When Bozi was still a little palace maid, he had actually been to the cold palace. At that time, he met his best friend, Gezi. They talked about everything. Gezi was generous, gentle and considerate, and helped her a lot.

Before entering the palace, Bozi was just a child from an ordinary family. It was impossible for her to learn dancing, calligraphy and painting from a young age like the concubines in the palace.

At that time, she followed Gezi and learned a lot of knowledge that only aristocrats could learn. Her piano skills, dancing, and even her excellent cooking skills were all taught by Gezi. This was also the reason why she was favored as a palace maid later.

Gezi was a gift from a neighboring country to the general, but the general did not trust her. After favoring her for a while, he threw her into the cold palace because of a small mistake.

However, Gezi did not feel sorry for herself because of this. Instead, she treated life positively and lived happily even in the cold palace.

She also advised Bozi that it would be nice for the two of them to stay in the cold palace for the rest of their lives. Even if he was in the cold palace, he could protect a palace maid.

Although the general's wife rarely showed up and didn't care about the jealousies among the concubines, she was very strict with her subordinates and even the supplies in the cold palace were rarely withheld.

But Bozi was unwilling to do so. She also told Gezi about her ambition. She wanted to become the general's favorite concubine. At that time, she would ask the general to release Lanzi back to the neighboring country and let her go back to her hometown.

After all, she has seen a lot in the palace. If you are not favored, anyone can step on you. Who says that the cold palace is a comfortable home?

Take Lan Zi from the palace next to Gezi, for example. She is not someone that is easy to get along with.

Lan Zi's parents were the general's trusted subordinates. After the two sacrificed themselves to save the general, the general brought them into the palace. However, because they were too arrogant and willful, the general arranged them to live in a palace not far from the cold palace.

But Lanzi seemed to know that the general would not do anything to her. Even though she was in a side palace, she was still arrogant and domineering. From time to time, she would run around in the cold palace to show her presence, tease cats and dogs, smash the windows of this palace, and kick the door of that palace...

She even slandered Gezi as a spy from a neighboring country, allowing the people around her and those in the cold palace at that time to bully Gezi.

At that time, the person who bullied me the most was Hideko!!

In order to protect Bozi, a palace maid, Gezi eventually died in the dark cold palace.

She couldn't hold on, couldn't wait for her best friend to gain favor, and couldn't return to her hometown that she missed day and night. Her life ended in the cold palace of a foreign country.

If it weren't for Hideko, Gezi wouldn't have died!

Damn it! I didn't recognize this woman before!

I'm actually still friends with her!

Hideko must have been laughing at herself at that time, laughing at herself for making a friend of a thief.

Bozi held his breath and his heart completely turned cold in the cold palace.

Afterwards, she went to Lan Zi's palace with a smile on her face and humbled herself to her, enduring her bullying and ridicule. She offered her advice and suggestions, which made Lan Zi curb her arrogance and regain the general's favor. At the same time, she followed Lan Zi out of the cold palace.

After going out, he took advantage of Ranko's power to suppress Hideko and drove her out of the palace.

The foreign dancer before was cold in character and didn't like to compete for favor. When the general was annoyed by the quarrels among the concubines, he would go to her to enjoy a moment of peace. Nami gave Ranko some advice and slandered Kotoko, saying that she was indifferent to the general because she had a lover when she was in a foreign land.

The general could not bear this humiliation, so he immediately had Kotoko sent away.

There are also Aizi, Feizi, Tezi...

In the early days, when her own power was not yet established, she relied on Lan Zi and gave him advice on how to deal with several concubines who were favored by the general. In the later days, she took advantage of the general's favor to win over several allies, kicked Lan Zi away, and started to compete with her from then on.

But just when the two were competing for favor in full swing, the Beizi, who had always ignored the struggles in the harem, suddenly summoned everyone in the harem.

After everyone arrived, Beizi announced a piece of news that shocked all the young ladies.
