Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

"Rinya! Haibara is missing!" Rinya ran to where Rinya was in a hurry.

"Gone?"

It seems that he has been taken away by Pisco.

Lin also frowned and looked thoughtful: "It is possible that the guys in the organization recognized her. Conan, you go and think of a way to contact her with the doctor. I will go look for her."

Conan nodded and agreed to the suggestion: "If we use the microphone and the intercom, we may be able to contact Huibara!"

What a mistake.

I should have listened to Rinya's suggestion and disguised Haibara a little more.

Rin also looked at Conan who was running out in a leisurely manner, and slowly turned to the elevator to go upstairs.

Although he didn't remember the plot as clearly as Aze, he still had some impression of this part.

Pisco should have temporarily locked up Haibara Ai in an old building of the hotel.

There is also a chimney that leads directly to the top floor, probably one or two floors away from the top floor.

The elevator stopped at the 17th floor and opened the door. After Rin came out, he did not move immediately but began to observe the ground carefully.

Because it is a warehouse, few people come here, let alone someone comes here to clean.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and on the dust there were still fresh footprints and wheel marks similar to those of a trolley.

The footprints were of moderate depth, not too sunken, suggesting that the person who left them was of a balanced weight, neither too fat nor too thin.

The heel part of the footprint is more obviously worn, which usually means that the center of gravity is shifted backward when walking. This walking style is more common in older people whose leg muscles may not be as strong as those of young people.

Of course, this way of walking may also be to maintain body stability and reduce the possibility of being discovered.

The stride length is relatively consistent but not large, this person is of medium height and walks at a steady pace, without being hurried or impatient.

The wheel marks of the trolley were not very deep, and the cargo loaded was not very heavy.

A well-trained old man of medium height and relatively old pushed a light cart...

It seems that Pisco is the Haibara Ai who is imprisoned on this level.

Following the footprints, Lin came to the door of a room. The door was locked, and he didn't have any tools to open it...

Rin thought about it for a moment, opened the next door and walked in.

……

After being knocked unconscious, Haibara Ai woke up again and found herself moved to a warehouse somewhere unknown.

Conan's call kept coming to my ears.

"Kudo?" Haibara Ai rubbed her aching head and sat up.

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the reply: "Haibara! You finally woke up! I'm in the doctor's car parked in front of the hotel. I'm using the microphone and intercom to talk to you now!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I should be the one asking you this! What exactly happened in the corridor outside the venue just now?"

Huihara Ai carefully recalled what happened before she passed out: "Outside the venue? Oh, yes, at that time I was pushed away by the crowd and separated from you."

"Then suddenly someone came from behind me..."

When Haibara Ai recalled this, she finally remembered all the details. It must be someone, no, someone from an organization recognized her and brought her here.

Conan still didn't understand the situation, and asked in confusion: "What happened if someone came up behind you?"

"Someone drugged me and knocked me out, then took me to some wine cellar and locked me up there."

"What?" Conan was shocked: "The person you are talking about is..."

Huibara Ai sneered, lamenting the unfairness of fate: "Yes, I think it must be the member of the organization, Pisco, who boldly killed people in the venue under close police surveillance."

"What did you say?" Conan lowered his voice quickly: "That guy shouldn't still be with you now, right?"

"No, that person is not here now." Huiyuan walked to the door and turned the door lock, but it couldn't be opened. "The lock on the door is locked firmly. Now there is only a cart with cardboard boxes on it and a cleaning staff's uniform."

"uniform?"

Conan remembered that he had a cold and drank white liquor and his body returned to its original state.

Huiyuan nodded and approached the car: "Yes, I think after he used the drug to make me unconscious, he must have taken me to the toilet first, changed me into the uniform he prepared in advance, put me in a cardboard box, and then took me here.

In my opinion, if he didn't kill the congressman in the meeting, he would have killed him in the toilet and sent him to this room, right?"

"No matter what, the most important thing now is that you find a way to escape from that wine cellar. Rin is still looking for you at this time. When the time comes, we will make other plans after the two of you meet up."

Huihara Ai was silent for two seconds, then interrupted Conan and said, "Listen carefully, Kudo, remember what I said, the AP in APTX-4869 that can rejuvenate us stands for apoptoxin, which means programmed cell death.

Simply put, cells have their own self-destruction skills, and they can survive by suppressing the signals of this skill."

"Hey, Haibara..." Conan felt a lot heavier when he heard the tone of voice that sounded like someone was telling him about his last wishes.

But Huiyuan did not intend to respond to Conan, and continued to describe the details of the drug: "However, this drug can not only induce programmed cell death, but also increase the growth capacity of cells with telomerase activity."

"Stop talking, Huibara!" Conan frowned and interrupted Huibara Ai: "If you really want to say it, wait until you escape from there, I'll let you talk as long as you want..."

"Don't make noise! ​​Now listen to me quietly!" Huiyuan said harshly, but then lowered her voice in frustration: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to talk to you again in this life."

Unfortunately, the other shrunken person was not there at that time, and his voice may not be heard from again in the future.

That warm feeling like a sister, that reliable feeling that is different from the unreliable detective on the other end of the phone, I may never feel it again...

It's a pity that I never met him when I was in the organization. Maybe he belonged to a different base...

If they had met earlier, would the ending of her and her sister have been different?

"what?"

"Don't you understand? Even though they saw how small I was, they still locked me up. Even if I managed to escape from here, they would find me in less than two days.

By then, not to mention the doctor who took me in during this period, anyone who has anything to do with me will be ruthlessly eliminated in order to keep the secret. "

Huibara sighed, with reluctance hidden in her eyes but also a relieved smile.

"You should understand now, right? Why did Kurokawa and I prevent you from contacting the organization? After something like this happened, whether I was dealt with by them here or escaped safely, the facts prove that from now on I will never see you again."
