Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 266 Beihu Shopping Mall
It's spring again, the mountains are dark blue, the water is blue, and green is everywhere. Agasa welcomes Conan at his house.

"Doctor, are you listening?"

Conan looked at the busy figure at the workbench and felt himself weak, pitiful and helpless...

Dr. Agasa stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Ah? Shinichi, what did you just say?"

Conan: "..."

Oh my god, it seems like all his half hour of talking was wasted.

He sighed helplessly, "That's right, I was just talking about the recent cases... From the murder of the councillor in Nishitama City to the explosion in the councillor's villa this time, don't you think it's strange?"

"You're talking about this. I heard it just now." The doctor put down the tools in his hand and came to sit opposite Conan. "Now that you mention it, it seems that there are indeed a lot of unsolved cases recently..."

"…So, Doctor, you just didn't hear what I just said!"

Conan grabbed his hair and frowned: "That police officer, I always suspect that he is related to that organization, or he has other problems."

The doctor blinked and said, "That Officer Matsuda? I think he's a nice guy."

"But he is at the scene of every bombing." Conan still remained skeptical.

"…But didn't you also say that he used to be a member of the Explosive Disposal Task Force?"

The doctor looked helpless.

I don’t understand what Shinichi is suspecting... He thinks it’s normal for a policeman to appear at the scene of a bombing, right?
"It's because it's so normal that I find it suspicious!"

Conan made a stern face and mentioned what Officer Sato had mentioned about Matsuda Jinpei's past:

"According to Officer Sato, this person was resentful of the bomber seven years ago because his friend died in the explosion, so he took a lot of effort to be transferred to the First Investigation Division. Since three years ago, Officer Matsuda has only taken over cases related to explosions."

"What I'm more concerned about is the strange man in a helmet he met when he was defusing a bomb in the Haido Mall three years ago." Conan put his hand on his chin and entered a state of ecstatic thinking. "He also mentioned this person in the Moriya Teiji incident, and all the bombs were defused by that person..."

"And whenever there is an event involving that organization, it seems that this person can always be seen..."

Conan strongly suspected that Jinpei Matsuda might also be a member of that organization, specializing in destroying evidence at the scene.

Moreover, the scene of Jinpei Matsuda eating a lollipop kept replaying in his mind - he remembered that this police officer seemed to be smoking every time? Why did he suddenly eat a lollipop this time?
Dr. Agasa scratched the back of his head in distress.

He had absolutely no idea what Conan was suspecting. It was obvious that Officer Matsuda was very concerned about the case and was very capable. This time he even caught the mastermind behind the bombing.

"Don't pay any attention to him, Doc."

Haibara Ai came out of her own little territory, and after hearing Conan's long speech, she calmly poured herself a glass of milk and then sat down next to Dr. Agasa.

"His situation is a typical manifestation of over-vigilance towards some people and things after suffering a trauma." Huiyuan Ai took a sip of milk and drooped her eyelids. "It is also called post-traumatic stress disorder, referred to as 'PTSD'."

Conan: "..."

He wants to report it! Huiyuan slandered him!

Conan stared at her for a while and chuckled: "If you say so, I also think you are suspicious."

Huihara Ai glanced at him and said, "Don't you want the antidote?"

"..."

Conan clenched his fists - threatening him again, damn it!
But speaking of the antidote, Conan's attention was successfully diverted, "By the way, haven't you developed the antidote yet?"

Huihara Ai paused while drinking milk, her eyes remained unchanged: "No, because the previously developed drugs were not perfect, and it will take more than one or two days to make an antidote... But because you told me that drinking Lao Baigan can act as a temporary antidote when you have a cold, so there is still progress."

After saying that, she continued to drink the milk with a guilty conscience.

In fact, she had already completed the temporary antidote and had obtained the original information...but after learning about Gin's plan from Noah, her research progress slowed down and she was no longer in a hurry.

"Who knew that this ice cube uncle would start planning so early..."

Huibara Ai felt quite resentful inside.

She now knew why the data copied from Pisk's computer was so unrecognizable - it was all tampered with by Gin.

Upon hearing that there was no hope of finding an antidote for the time being, Conan collapsed on the sofa and drew circles in despair.

After noon, Mao Lilan came to the door and brought Suzuki Sonoko with her.

"I'm going to take Conan to the mall for shopping."

When Dr. Agasa learned of Xiaolan's purpose, he looked at someone running over and asked, "Conan, do you want to go with us?"

"That place has just been renovated recently, and I heard there are a lot of fun things there. Conan, how about coming along? We'll have dinner out tonight after we finish shopping." Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and began to seduce Conan to go out.

"Good~"

Conan responded cutely, and then took Xiaolan's soft hand.

Just as Xiaolan and Sonoko were about to leave with Conan, Dr. Agasa suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Ran, I may need to purchase some research materials later. Can I ask you to take care of Ai as well?"

Dr. Agasa grabbed Haibara Ai, who was about to sneak back to the laboratory, and held her in front of Xiaolan.

This is a rare opportunity to take Ai out for a walk, and I must not let it go.

Haibara Ai:"?!"

Doctor! What do you want to do? Let her go!
She wants to play... and chat with her sister!
Mao Lilan blinked her eyes, and happily took over the panicked Haibara Ai, "Don't worry, Doctor! I will definitely take good care of Ai... Ai, just have fun with Conan today, right?"

Faced with the enthusiastic Xiaolan and Dr. Agasa's closed door, Haibara Ai was speechless.

With a 'happy' look on her face, she followed a few people to Beihu Shopping Mall.

However, when he sat on the small train specially provided for children in the mall, he turned into Conan with a "happy" look on his face.

"You look unhappy?"

Ai Huibara looked at Mr. Ke, who had lost all hope in life, with a gloating look on his face.

She was having a lot of fun herself...it would be doubly fun if her sister could play with her.

Mr. Ke twitched his lips: "Come on, this thing is so childish... Only little kids would like this thing, right?"

Huibara Ai glanced at him indifferently.

After getting off the train, Huiyuan Ai grabbed Xiaolan's trouser legs and squeezed out two tears:
"Sister Xiaolan, Edogawa said I was childish, wuwuwu..."

Conan: "???"

Huihara, be more normal, I'm scared!
Seeing such a cute little girl being made to cry by Conan, Mao Lilan immediately frowned: "Conan! You can't say that to others."

"This brat is just a brat." Suzuki Sonoko also helped to scold Conan, rolling her eyes, "How can you say that about such a lovely girl from the Ran family? It's really not gentlemanly at all."

Conan: "..."

What kind of gentleman does a kid like him need?... Besides, Huibara is older than him!
