Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

"Oh, little Haro, you are so good at acting coquettishly. Do you miss us?" Facing the cute little Haro, Akikawa Sarina couldn't help but speak. She kissed the little Haro who was acting coquettishly in her arms again.

Then he turned his head to look at Amuro Toru, "Haro is the puppy you raised, Amuro Haro, do you still remember it? Every time we went on a mission, someone helped take care of Haro, or sent it to a nearby pet store for foster care."

Amuro Toru looked at the puppy acting coquettishly in his girlfriend's arms, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. "I still have a little impression, but I couldn't remember what it looked like before I saw Haro."

Hearing him say this, Akikawa Sarana touched Haro's head and said, "Haro, Daddy didn't forget you on purpose, he still remembers you, how about letting Daddy hug you?"

"Woof~!" Haro licked Akikawa Sarina's cheek.

Then he looked at Amuro Toru, hesitantly wanting to be touched. Of course, he also wanted his father, but the instinct of the little animal told him that the father at the beginning felt a little wrong, and he was a little afraid of the father just now, so he jumped into his mother's arms.

Toru Amuro looked at the hesitant Haro, touched its head with a smile, then reached out and took Haro from Akikawa Sarina's arms.

Feeling that his father was still the same father, Haro became happy again. He wagged his tail wildly and gave Toru Amuro the same face-washing etiquette as he did with Sarina Akikawa.

It was assumed that the two of them had started chatting, and Akikawa Sarana was no longer shy about it. "Our little Haro is still as smart as ever. I sensed that you had changed before, so I didn't dare to act coquettishly with you directly."

Amuro Toru, who was warmly received by Haro, held it in his arms, not giving it a chance to attack him again, and then said with a smile: "So that's how it is. I'm sorry I scared you just now, Haro."

"Woof~" Haro, who was already lying obediently in his owner's arms, looked back and forth between his two owners.

Amuro Toru held Haro in one hand and Akikawa Sarina in the other, and walked into the villa. They had no luggage. They came back from Los Angeles with nothing but their ID, wallet and cell phone. They went back to Japan empty-handed.

It had been almost half a month since the two of them left Japan. The house had a fresh air system, so there wasn't much dust. In addition to Fumi helping to clean the kitchen and Haro's toys in the refrigerator, the house was still in the same state as when the two of them left.

Toru Amuro put Haro in his arms on the ground and began to look at the structure of the room.

"How is it? Any impression?" Akikawa Sarana asked softly from the side after watching for a while.

Amuro Toru shook his head. "There are only some fragmentary memories of those times when I was with you. I don't know where they were before."

Hearing these words, Akikawa Sarana did not feel disappointed or anything like that. "It's okay. Your current condition is already a pleasant surprise. We haven't started treatment for your condition yet, but it will definitely be resolved later..."

She took two steps forward and took the initiative to hug Amuro Toru, "Toru, you are really amazing."

He relied solely on his strong will and belief to resist the organization's brainwashing, and even began to break through the organization's confinement on his own.

He remembered his friends, even if it was just blurry so that he could not see their faces or hear their voices. This was his will, belonging to Rei Furuya, resisting.

Likewise, Akikawa Sarana was glad that her role as Limu was one of the safe words set by the organization, so that he would not have to face those people in the organization alone as soon as he opened his eyes.

The moment Akikawa Sarina hugged him, Toru Amuro hugged her as well. This time it was not a subconscious reaction of his body, but he wanted to hug the person in front of him.

"It's also thanks to you, Sarina, to accompany me." Amuro Toru lowered his head and buried it in Akikawa Sarina's neck, "I'm glad you're here."

Haro, who was placed on the ground, looked at the two people hugging each other. It also hummed and lay at the feet of the two people, looking eagerly at its two masters who it felt like it hadn't seen for a long time.

A Li's house.

Dr. Agasa, who was doing research at home, heard the doorbell ring. He took off his welding glasses in confusion and walked to the door while muttering to himself, "You didn't buy anything today?"

Shinichi is working on a case with Maori and his daughter today, so he can't come. In the minds of the boys in the Junior Detective Team, he and Ai are still in China, so there shouldn't be any guests at his house.

When he reached the door, Dr. Agasa looked at Natsuho Arano, who he knew, and heaved a sigh of relief while opening the gate to the yard. "Arano-san? Why are you here?"

"There are some things I need to tell the doctor and Xiao Ai." As Niino Natsuho entered the room and talked to the doctor, she also pulled her face with her hands, "It's not a disguise, it's me."

The doctor, who was confused by her sudden action, came back to his senses and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He locked the door again and said, "Hey, then let's go home first, Niino-san. Ai is in the basement now. I'll go call her up."

The two of them walked into the house while talking. Before entering the house, Niino Natsuho turned her head to glance at Kudo's house next door, then waved to the room on the second floor with the curtains drawn, as a greeting to Akai Shuichi who was peeking inside.

At this time, Akai Shuichi, who was observing Dr. Agasa's house at Kudo's house, withdrew his gaze after seeing Niino Natsuho greet him, and turned to walk downstairs.

On the first floor, Yusaku Kudo, who was chatting quietly with Yukiko Kudo, looked downstairs at Shuichi Akai, "Okiya-kun, are you going next door?"

He had just heard the doorbell ringing at Professor Agasa's house next door. When he saw Akai Shuichi coming downstairs, he understood everything.

"It seems that the person next door is not simple."

Akai Shuichi gave a positive answer to Kudo Yusaku's guess, "It's her friend, the little girl who is very good at sniping and hacking."

There are some things he doesn't need to say, Conan has told Mr. Kudo everything, so he is not worried that Kudo Yusaku will not understand what he means.

Of course, Kudo Yusaku understood who this "she" and the "little girl with great sniping and hacking skills" were. Not only did he understand, but Kudo Yukiko beside him also understood.

"That little girl suddenly went to the next door..." Kudo Yukiko's voice was filled with worry, "Did something happen again?"

Although she didn't know what exactly happened a few days ago, the excellent actress Yukiko Kudo could still see the changes in emotions from the handsome FBI agent's face.

It's the kind of worry mixed with the joy of receiving important intelligence.

Akai Shuichi pushed his camouflage glasses, thinking of the unclear news he had received, and his smiling eyes opened a little, "It seems that something really extraordinary has happened."

That's why he decided to go next door after seeing the little girl greet him.

------

Next door is Dr. Agasa's house.

As soon as Professor Agasa and Natsuho Niino entered the house, they saw Haibara Ai walking out of the basement with big dark circles under her eyes.

The other person was not holding an empty coffee cup. It was obvious that he did not come out to refill coffee during the half-time break. Instead, he heard the noise above, so he came out to check.

Seeing that it was Niino Natsuho, Huihara Ai raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why are you here at this time?"

There was a rare hint of light-heartedness and teasing in her voice, no longer the bitterness and hatred that had characterized her voice in recent days.

After listening to Edogawa's words that day, Haibara Ai felt a little uneasy, and in this situation, only research could calm her down, so except for a short sleep these days, she had been in her research room in the basement.

After changing her shoes, Niino Natsuho handed the gift she brought to Dr. Agasa, then walked straight to Huihara Ai and squatted down, "I have two things to ask you."

Seeing her getting straight to the point, Huihara Ai's originally relaxed expression turned serious, "You go ahead."

Niino Natsuho didn't waste time talking to her and said directly: "Conan said that the information he got from that laboratory before is kept here with you, and I need to take it away. I contacted Conan before I came here, and he said he would tell you."

Hearing her say this, Haibara Ai took out her cell phone and saw an email she had received from her friend not long ago.

She opened the email and took a look at the content. After confirming that it was the same as what Niino Natsuho said, she nodded and said, "I'll give it to you later."

The thing had been in Edogawa's own hands before, and he gave it to her two days ago, asking her to keep it for herself. It seems that Edogawa already knew that someone would come to take the information.

Niino Natsuho then continued, "It will still be dangerous for a while. Sarina asked me to protect you and the doctor."

Huihara Ai pursed her lips. She glanced at the doctor who was watching the two of them, then looked at Niino Natsuho again, "What happened again?"

"Some troublesome things happened, and I can't tell you for the time being..."

Xinye Xiasui raised her hand and scratched the back of her head. "Originally, we planned that you and the doctor would stay in China for a while longer, but now it's good that you're back. It's not necessarily 100% safe in China. There's always the possibility of encountering some 'accidents', and it would be bad if we were unable to help you. Anyway, I'll protect you from now on."

After hearing her vague explanation, Haibara Ai lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Suddenly, Haibara Ai seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Niino Natsuho with a nervous look in her eyes.

"Although I haven't opened the document that Jiang Duchuan gave me, he once mentioned that laboratory. That laboratory has two research directions, one is R cell research, and the other is hypnosis brainwashing..."

She spoke faster and faster, with a hint of urgency in her voice, "Was it her or someone else who was subjected to a brainwashing experiment?"

If it was normal, it wouldn't be Xinye who came here, it should be her...

Dr. Agasa, who was standing by, was also stunned when he heard Haibara Ai's guess. He looked at the two people here in amazement.

Huihara Ai clenched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, "Is she in danger, so you are the one coming?"

However, Niino Natsuho was stunned by Haibara Ai's guess. She urgently contacted her host for help in her consciousness. [Sarina, Haibara Ai...]

Akikawa Sarina, who was busy, was distracted. [Don't be nervous, just tell her it's not me. ]

At this moment, Huiyuan Ai, who was staring at Niino Natsuho, regarded the other party's stunned and momentary silence as the other party's speechlessness and sadness after she guessed it. She wanted to say something, but found that she seemed to be unable to help at all...

Just as she was about to fall into sudden self-blame, Niino Natsuho, who had already finished communicating with her host, spoke up, "It's not Sarina."

Haibara Ai, who was already beginning to feel sad, had her emotions cut short in an instant, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Even the doctor who was beginning to feel sad was surprised, "Ah?"

"Not Sarina."

Natsuho Niino repeated it again. She was always more cautious when facing people other than her host, and she realized belatedly that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say. She simply pretended that she didn't notice anything and just repeated what she had just said.

Hearing her repeat it again, Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the door of Dr. Agasa's house was knocked again.

Although Natsuho Niino was a little surprised to see that it was Subaru Okiya outside the door, she was not particularly surprised. After all, she knew clearly that this man had been staring at everyone who came to Professor Agasa's house.

She just thought it was a little strange that Okiya Subaru didn't bring his beef stew with potatoes. Was it because he didn't make it today?

But no matter what, she had already said what she wanted to say to Haibara Ai, and she was not afraid that Okiya Subaru would hear something.

After Dr. Agasa opened the door and let people in, Niino Natsuho took out a not-too-thick document from her bag.

"Doctor, I have a project here. This is the effect we want to achieve. Please see if you have time."

Although she could make this thing herself, and even draw a blueprint for people to follow to assemble it, but when she came to the doctor's house, although everyone knew it, there had to be a little reason, so this was the reason her host gave her.

"Okay, let me take a look." Dr. Agasa took the document and glanced at Subaru Okiya who had just come in.

Whether it is Shuichi Akai or Subaru Okiya, he himself is more or less a British gentleman in his bones, so he will not make things difficult for Professor Agasa.

He nodded back at Dr. Agasa and said, "Doctor, you don't need to greet me. I came here to ask this lady something. I want to borrow a place in your house."

Xinye Xiasui didn't need the doctor to do anything. She pointed at herself and said, "Look for me."

She looked calm on the outside, but in her heart she had already begun to harass her host crazily, [Sarina, Sarina! ]

Akikawa Sarina, who was still busy, glanced at Okiya Subaru, who was smiling with a bit of inquiry, through the system panel, "It's okay, please give you a place to chat, Doctor. 】

After hearing what the host said, Niino Natsuho also calmed down.
