The Split-Actress in Conan's World
Chapter 156 Before the Autumn Thunder
After eavesdropping on the conversation between Shiratori and Takagi, the three fake children all felt a little heavy-hearted.
Conan was searching for keywords, looking thoughtful.
Ai Huihara saw what he was thinking at a glance and said, "Don't think about it. Glenfiddich was still in New York three years ago, and he wasn't the kind of person who would give a warning before an explosion."
Having his thoughts seen through, Conan smiled awkwardly and did not refute.
Chiyoko suddenly said, "In this story, although the other bomb was found, the murderer was not caught, right?"
Conan was stunned, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
"Have you ever thought about where the robbers who robbed the post office got the bombs?" His expression was serious.
"If someone provided them with explosives, instructed them to place a bomb in a crowd, and sent a warning letter to the Metropolitan Police Department..."
He watched Officer Shiratori walk to his car and was about to open the door when he seemed to think of something: "Not good!"
"If it was really just the robbers who wanted to cause chaos, how could they have accurately placed the bomb in Officer Takagi's car after he was in disguise?"
“These are two incidents!”
As soon as Conan finished speaking, Chiyoko moved.
He quickly lowered his body like an agile cheetah, his amber eyes reflecting a cold light. He took two steps instead of three and rushed to the white bird, pulling him away with an unbearable force.
Before Shiratori could react, he took a few steps back, but his hand was already on the door handle, and with this step, he opened the door.
boom! ! !
The flames and blast instantly blew away the car door, and Chiyoko and Officer Shiratori were blown far away. The deformed car door pressed on them and they were motionless.
Haibara Ai's pupils shrank, and she ran over to open the car door regardless of the fierce flames and thick smoke. She saw two people lying on the ground with blood on their heads, and Shiratori had fainted.
Because they were closer when the explosion occurred, Officer Shiratori had obvious burns on her chest and arms, while Chiyoko was crushed underneath the explosion, with a large bloody patch on her back caused by the road. There was almost no intact skin, and her silver-white hair was stained blood red.
"...Please move away for me. Officer Shiratori is pressing on me so hard that I can't breathe..." Chiyoko twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and forced a smile in a voice that could be described as dying.
"Come and help!" Haibara Ai shouted to Conan, and the two of them moved Officer Shiratori who was pressing on Chiyoko, let them lie flat on the ground, and then called 120.
"Stay awake, the ambulance will be here soon." She said calmly to Chiyoko who was lying on the ground.
However, Chiyoko just blinked, her amber pupils were a little blurred, as if she was trying her best to concentrate but couldn't find a focus point. Haibara Ai vaguely felt that he seemed unable to see her, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Chiyoko's pupils did not change.
"How do you feel now?" Haibara Ai reached out and felt his carotid artery. She felt that his pulse was a little weak and the situation was obviously not optimistic.
"Are you talking? I feel like the whole world is shaking, and I have a little tinnitus..."
Haibara Ai had no choice but to bend down, almost close to his ear, and repeat it again in a louder voice.
"I feel... a little itchy on my back, and something is dark in front of my eyes... I can't see you."
A somewhat cold little hand was placed on his forehead. Haibara Ai tried her best to keep calm and judge Chiyoko's current condition.
The skin is hot, the consciousness is blurred, and he cannot organize logical speech. His hearing is impaired. There is a significant blindness reaction, and it is impossible to determine whether it is temporary blindness caused by stress. His limbs are weak, and the nervous system may be damaged. I am afraid that the brain is injured.
This is not a minor injury like a concussion. The close-range explosion brings about an instantaneous impact and sonic boom.
She took a deep breath and looked back to see that one end of the street was blocked off due to the previous explosion and the ambulance might not be able to get in.
The Tokyo Spirits victory parade blocked the intersection at the other end.
Takagi quickly arrived with Inspector Megure and took over the scene. The first thing they received when they arrived here was not Conan's questions, nor the clues provided by the children, but the somewhat cold instructions of Haibara Ai.
"Please drive away those irrelevant people who are blocking the traffic hub. Every second that the ambulance is late is like a knife stabbing the injured."
Inspector Megure was almost frozen in place by that gaze. You know, he had a good impression of this little girl before. After all, every time the three little ones made trouble and Conan and Chiyo asked random questions, this little girl behaved very quietly. He thought this was probably the only normal child in the Junior Detective League.
I didn't expect the fire to be so scary...
However, when he saw the injuries of Chiyoko and Shiratori, his expression became serious. He knew that he could not delay any longer, and immediately sent people to forcefully drive away the crowded crowd.
When the three little ones saw that Chiyo was seriously injured, they also ran over from Sato's side. Ayumi had two big tears in her eyes and was about to cry, Mitsuhiko also looked worried, and even Genta's expression was very sad.
However, before they could run over here, they were stopped coldly by Haibara Ai.
"go back."
Ayumi cried out in grievance: "But Chiyo..."
"Now, hurry up and go home." Before she could finish her words, Haibara Ai interrupted her without hesitation, her voice calmly silent.
"We are the Junior Detective Team. How could we just leave our injured companions alone?!" Mitsuhiko looked at her angrily.
"I won't say it for the third time." Haibara Ai looked at them calmly. Her tone was not fierce, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Conan also came over and said in a softer tone: "Okay, okay, let's follow Officer Sato back first. There have been two explosions in a row. It's too dangerous here for children."
Finally, after Conan's coaxing and deception, the three little ones had no choice but to get into the car with depressed expressions and left.
"I'm talking to you. You usually pamper them so much, but now you suddenly put on a scary cold face. How can the children get used to it..." Conan sent the three little ones away and felt a little tired, so he walked over.
Haibara Ai didn't say anything. She asked the children to go back quickly out of concern. If it were normal, she would naturally be generous and explain the reason to them, but now she was in no mood to say so much to make these children realize the seriousness of the matter.
She doesn't have time to take care of the children.
The moment she saw Chiyoko's lifeless eyes, she felt like she was hit by something and her emotions almost went out of control.
This reminded her of the experimental log she saw that night.
He had finally climbed out of hell, and she couldn't let him fall back.
She couldn't allow herself to be destroyed by him a second time.
Haibara Ai is a very strange person. She always keeps doubts to herself. She never admits that she will become someone's savior, but she tries her best to take the harm suffered by others on herself and regards herself as the murderer who hurts others.
For example, Chiyoko.
Undoubtedly, it was the organization, not Haibara Ai, who really tortured him.
No one would hate the person who made the gun after being shot by a gun, but Huibara Ai would. She was the one who made the gun and she firmly believed that she should go to hell.
Guilt is a good knife, and this woman is best at using this knife to cut her own flesh back and forth.
She does not think that Chiyoko owes her anything because her medicine gave her a second life, but she tortures herself and suffers restless nights for the harm that was not caused by her.
In terms of sainthood, she is actually slightly better than Conan.
Because Conan just thinks that everyone should be saved, but Haibara Ai wants to directly cut off the rescue process, she doesn't want anyone to be hurt.
Her high moral standards and strong empathy often cause her to have an excessive sense of guilt, and one manifestation of this sense of guilt is the fear she feels when she sees other members of the organization.
The essence of her fear of the organization's members was not the fear of violence and power, but her high level of empathy made her think of the harm they had caused to many victims, which triggered her guilt. Innocent people should not be harmed.
Her resistance to the organization was not simply fear, but more of a rejection, because she realized that every normal activity she took within the organization was helping the organization hurt others, and her sense of guilt made it impossible for her to accept this fact, so she rejected the organization.
Then again, why wasn't she afraid of Glenfiddich?
This brings us to a contrast.
Around other members of the organization, everyone thinks she is a little devil because there are no angels in hell.
She may be weak, but they don't treat her as an alien. After all, everyone is dirty, so who looks down on whom?
It was the atmosphere in this environment that gradually assimilated her. This evil collective took the initiative to include her as one of them. Therefore, every evil they committed was a share of her, so she had an illusion -
It was me who failed to stop them, it was me who failed to save the victims. If I had been tougher, if I had been stronger, those people would not have died.
She could have done it instinctively, but she didn't do it. This was an important condition for triggering her sense of guilt through morality and empathy. Of course, even she herself was not aware of this.
She was afraid of the nature of the organization's members, that the organization treated her as one of its own.
And why wasn't she afraid of Glenfiddich?
Because Glenfiddich had never treated her as one of their own.
He never let her think, "If I had done something, Glenfiddich wouldn't have killed those people."
What did he do?
He made Huiyuan Ai realize an iron rule from the bottom of her heart -
No matter what she did or how she did it, she couldn't stop or affect Glenfiddich.
If Glenfiddich wants someone to die, then that person must die, and no one can stop him.
That man's death had nothing to do with Haibara Ai, because nothing she did could change anything. All the sins were borne by Grunfiddie alone, and he never gave her a single cent.
He is a devil, so he calls her Little White Rabbit.
He is an adult, so he calls her a child.
He is sin, so she has nothing to do with sin.
If a demon does not recognize her as a fellow demon from the bottom of her heart, then she can only be an angel.
There is no doubt that Chiyoko and Conan accepted her and treated her as one of their own, which made her even more miserable.
Gin used her medicine to make Conan smaller, so she took the initiative to put a knife called guilt into Conan's hand. Every time Conan was injured by the organization and was upset about not being able to recognize Ran Mouri, she would bump into the knife herself and stab a bloody hole in her body.
But the blood hole is also different. After all, Conan is still a righteous boy, and he rarely really blames someone.
Not to mention that because of the butterfly effect, Conan never said those harsh words to Haibara Ai, and Haibara Ai also found it difficult to imagine Conan blaming her, so the harm Conan brought to her was limited.
If the knife Conan used to stab a bloody hole, then what Chiyoko used was not a knife, but an electric drill.
Haibara Ai crashed into him and crushed herself to pieces.
Those inhumane experiments constitute the sharp threads on the drill bit, and the lives taken by drug A are the nuclear fusion power source that allows this electric drill to drill very fast.
The more serious the injury, the more guilty I feel.
The more guilty you feel, the more hurt you will be.
She was like a rabbit that was unable to get over its thoughts, and crashed headfirst into the wooden stake of Chiyoko.
She didn't dare to imagine that if Chiyoko really lost her life again, or lost hope again, and became numb, she might also collapse under the overwhelming sense of guilt.
The ambulance arrived soon and Officer Shiratori was carried onto a stretcher. However, because Chiyoko's back was injured so severely, she had to be carried into the car face down like a zombie.
Haibara Ai was worried, so she got into the car along with the bed and rushed to the hospital.
Before getting in the car, she looked at Conan coldly and said, "Find the criminal and try him, just like you have always done."
"You know you can do it."
Conan watched the ambulance drive away in silence and sighed.
He turned around and looked at the car whose flames had just been put out, his eyes sharp.
You know, Conan has a red angry state.
Trigger conditions include but are not limited to: the murderer is extremely vicious, the incident affects people around him, there is a disagreement with other detectives, and when the effect of drugs is about to wear off and the heart hurts.
Obviously, this incident is a standard case of "incident affecting people around you."
Whether it was the actual damage suffered by Chiyoko or the abnormal state of Haibara Ai, Conan felt heavy-hearted and full of anger.
He quickly determined from the remaining traces on the destroyed car that this was definitely not a copycat crime, and then displayed his oppressive power as the spokesperson for the god of death, with his aura fully activated.
Under the halo of the god of death, Inspector Megure and others swallowed their saliva at the same time and answered almost every question.
Combining the information provided by Officer Sato with the story he had heard from Shiratori earlier, Conan quickly understood the full picture of the incident three years ago.
The origin of the story begins seven years ago.
Seven years ago, bombs were found in two high-end apartments in Tokyo. The criminals took all the residents of the apartments hostage, demanded 7 billion yen from the police, and said that if any resident was evacuated without permission, he would immediately detonate the bomb.
The police racked their brains and finally managed to defuse one of the bombs within the explosion deadline, but they were helpless with the other one and had no choice but to agree to the criminals' request.
The criminals used a remote control to stop the countdown of the bomb, and then the police evacuated the crowd. The Suzuki Foundation funded the Metropolitan Police Department to collect 10 billion yen as ransom within an hour, giving up face in exchange for the safety of the people. Originally, the matter would have ended like this...
However, the gangster suddenly called again and asked why the countdown for the bomb was still ticking. The police quickly determined that the gangster was following the situation on the scene through the news footage on TV, so they immediately came up with a new plan. They used this information gap to stabilize the gangster, not only evacuated the crowd, but also dismantled the bomb.
Later, through the transmitter placed on the ransom, the police quickly found the location of the criminal and launched a capture operation. During the escape, the criminal had a car accident and died on the spot.
It looked like everything had been settled, the people were safe, the bomb had been defused, the ransom had been recovered, and the Metropolitan Police Department's face had been saved.
But no one expected that——
The gangsters... there are two of them.
