"Hey, yeah. Shinichi is here with me right now."

Dr. Agasa's deliberately lowered voice came faintly from behind the door.

"!!?"

Conan put his hands against the wall, paused, and his pupils shrank to the size of needles in disbelief.

"He's in my living room right now. Ah...are we still going according to plan? But...but..."

There was a hint of embarrassment in Dr. Agasa's voice, but Conan's heart sank a little bit behind the wall.

He clenched his hands into fists and stood still.

"But, alas, I get it. I will continue to cooperate with you."

After saying the last sentence, Dr. Agasa seemed to have made some important decision.

It also completely crushed Conan's hopes.

How could this be?

Conan's nails dug into his flesh so hard that it almost bled. He took one last look at the doctor's room, then ran away without looking back.

"Hurry up, you have to run faster!"

Conan was breathing heavily. The familiar road stretched forward into an unknown direction and seemed to never have an end.

Conan originally thought that Dr. Agasa, who was willing to accept him unconditionally and gave him countless equipment, was someone he could trust and respect for the rest of his life.

I never expected that...

did not expect!

Conan gritted his teeth and slammed his hands against the wall unwillingly.

Why did Dr. Agasa help that group of people?

What kind of threat was it?

Or was this so-called ten-year neighborly friendship fake from the beginning?

Subconsciously, Conan would rather believe the former but couldn't help but speculate more.

If it's the latter...

For an instant, the faces of the Kudo couple flashed in Conan's mind, and his face turned pale.

Conan paused, took a deep breath, and tremblingly took out his phone from his pocket and quickly pressed a few buttons, "The number you dialed is busy, please call again later..."

"The number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later."

"The number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later."

After trying again and again, the originally gentle and polite mechanical voice sounded a little sarcastic and cold because it was repeated too many times.

Every time it happened, it made people feel cold all over, until the end - Conan put down his phone dejectedly and sat down on the side of the road.

Kudo Yusaku is in the United States now, how could he still be on the phone at this time?

-

On the other side, Dr. Agasa and Kudo Yusaku rearranged the process and were planning to go upstairs to "reasonably" let Kudo Yukiko run away.

But I saw an empty hall and a completely open door.

"Shinichi? Where are you?" Dr. Agasa looked around and called out tentatively.

"?"

"Strange, did he go to the toilet?" Dr. Agasa lowered his head and muttered to himself as he planned to get some dry food.

But I happened to notice that the entire corridor along the basement was now covered with small, barely noticeable footprints.

This is Shinichi's sneaker print!

"broken!"

Dr. Agasa reacted, slapped his forehead immediately and called Kudo Yusaku again.

Yin Jiu had no idea how his suggestion had contributed to the playability of the Kudo family's parent-child games. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa at home, happily opening a bag of potato chips.

"I hope the Kudo family has fun, but Conan is a smart kid. He might be able to kill them by hiding in the corner. What if he goes all out and knocks Yukiko down and calls the police? How will it end?" Yin Jiu paused for a moment, put the potato chips into his mouth, and muttered to himself, "Emm, it's not a big problem. Anyway, this is not a problem I should worry about... Speaking of which, Gin and the others are so slow. How long will it take to deal with it?"

Gin, who was being talked about, did not let Yin Jiu wait too long. He came directly with the trading items and took Yin Jiu with him.

"It was very imprudent of you to bring such an important document with you."

The original research room had been cleaned up. Yin Jiu walked around the researcher whose expression had become even more flattering, and tried to pick on Gin in his words.

Gin ignored Yin Jiu's provocation and turned his head to the researcher, "Report to me everything about this kid last night."

"Last night..." The researcher had a bitter look on his face. He had just cleaned up the laboratory and was still in shock at the tragic scene. He was sweating all over, and he hesitated to speak, glancing at Yin Jiu secretly.

"Isn't there a surveillance camera?" Yin Jiu looked innocent and puzzled at the researcher whose face was full of "grievance" and "fear". He took the initiative to walk to the operating table, tapped the main control keyboard with his fingers skillfully, and made room for the two people. "If you want to see it, it's all here. I'll leave first."

After saying that, Yin Jiu waved his hand and walked into the locker room without looking back.

After changing out of his black bunny ears outfit, the boy came out again wearing a white shirt, with slightly curly bangs that half covered his eyebrows.

His face was still a little pale. He held his forehead with one hand and looked at the ground, his long eyelashes drooping slightly.

"What's wrong?" When the researcher saw Yin Jiu's actions, he moved forward uncontrollably and asked.

"It's okay, I'm just adjusting my mood." Yin Jiu put down his hand that was supporting his forehead and raised his eyes slightly. His wine-red pupils were now filled with a naive clarity, reflecting every corner of the laboratory, harmless yet confused.

researcher:??

No, are you savvy!?

-

"Mr. Masuyama?"

Kenzo Masuyama received Yin Jiu's medical examination report early in the morning. As he expected, Yin Jiu was physically weak due to his congenital deficiency, but what surprised him even more was the column regarding his mental state in the record - he had anxiety and difficulty falling asleep, suspected of neurasthenia.

Kenzo Masuyama repeated the test results softly, "What is the most difficult disease to treat?"

That's naturally a heart disease!

Since Yin Jiu has such a fatal flaw, why worry about not being able to control him?

Kenzo Masuyama showed a determined smile, turned around and saw the boy who called his name walking in front of the researcher, running towards him happily.

"Hey, slow down, don't run so fast." When Kenzo Masuyama saw Yin Jiu, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips no matter what. Fortunately, the scene at the moment was quite appropriate.

"Mr. Masuyama!" Yin Jiu called out again, and saw the old man opposite him smiling like a daisy with his arms open.

"......?"

This old man is so shameless!

Yin Jiu took an imperceptible step and hesitated for a moment. Then he lunged forward and taught the 70-year-old man a lesson with his "hard power".

"!" Kenzo Masuyama's face instantly turned green, but his many years of 'work' experience prevented him from getting angry immediately and he chose to endure it.

"You must be hungry after staying in the pharmaceutical factory for so long, right?" Masuyama Kenzo held his waist with one hand and opened the car door with the other hand, and said what he had prepared at the beginning, "It's just right, let's go to lunch together at this time. I have reserved a buffet at the Rice Flower Hotel."

"Okay." Yin Jiu lowered his head, his hair hiding the mischievous smile on his lips, and sat obediently in the passenger seat.

The buffet restaurant in the lobby on the first floor of the Mika Hotel is very large. Masuyama Kenzo did not store his package and directly took Yin Jiu to choose a seat by the window.

"This is your first time staying in Japan for a long time. You probably haven't tried the buffet here yet."

The old man skillfully picked up the matcha powder on the table and made a cup of tea for Yin Jiu. He introduced, "The buffet at the Rice Flower Hotel is one of the best in Japan, especially because the food here includes a lot of special ingredients that you can't get outside."

"I happen to know the boss here, so I made a reservation for two people and brought you over to try it."

"Is that so?" Yin Jiu calmly glanced at the store mascot printed with a six-point resemblance to the Karasuma family crest, and his eyes wandered around the food pictures on the wall. The smile on his face became more sincere, "Thank you so much, Mr. Masuyama."

He seemed to have found another colleague who knew how to live, how to eat and drink, and how to enjoy the organization's benefits.

Piske unexpectedly... can handle it!

Kenzo Masuyama suddenly felt that Yin Jiu's attitude towards him became closer, and he immediately felt that he had figured out the other person's preferences.

This is good news again!

The two of them looked at each other with gentle gazes, which really had a bit of the image of a loving father and a filial son.

It was not until Kenzo Masuyama stood up to get the plate that Yin Jiu slowly took out his cell phone.

Gin should learn this!

As old cadres in the organization, other members live like human beings, while Gin lives like a dog.

"Click."

A photo was successfully sent to Gin's number, and Yin Jiu turned his phone to landscape mode and pretended to play games as if nothing had happened.

However, the moment he raised his eyes, he saw a figure that shouldn't be here.

"Conan?"
