Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

Ran Mouri was able to call him by name not because she had regained her memory, but because they had met again last night.

Furthermore, if Ran Mouri had regained her memories, she would probably be calling him "Shinichi" now.

"I had a little trouble sleeping last night, don't worry about it." Conan smiled and shook his head. "Ran-neechan, a new friend is coming to visit you later."

"Is that so..." Ran Mouri said with a hint of sadness, "But I don't remember anyone."

The words fell.

The ward door was opened, and Sonoko Suzuki and Eri Kisaki came in with breakfast.

It's a bit late to have breakfast now.

However, diet and lifestyle should naturally be changed along with sleep schedule.

"Where's Uncle?" Conan asked curiously as he took the breakfast.

Eri Kisaki pursed her lips. "He went to the Metropolitan Police Department early this morning, saying he needed to follow up on the latest developments in the police investigation and would be back at noon."

She sat down by the bedside, showing her daughter the gentlest demeanor, "Xiaolan, don't rush, don't be confused, just take it slow."

"Whether you can regain your memories or not is not very important. Mom will always be by your side."

Suzuki Maruko, standing nearby, asked with some surprise, "Are you planning to move back in?"

Eri nodded. "Yes, how could I possibly let that unkempt, slovenly old man take care of Ran?"

"Sonoko, you didn't get much rest yesterday either. Go back and get some sleep before coming back. Thank you for your hard work."

Sonoko Suzuki quickly reassured everyone that she was still full of energy, saying, "It's not tiring at all. Even if Ran never remembers me again, I will still be her best friend!"

Breakfast time passed quickly.

Although Ran Mouri was not physically ill, she was in a bad mood, which resulted in a very poor appetite. She only ate a few bites and then stopped.

Conan told Sonoko Suzuki about the three kids' visit and then led Ran Mouri downstairs to the hospital park.

Let's soak up some sun and see the three little ones.

Seeing people you used to know more often at this stage can be very helpful in recovering memories.

Eri Kisaki went to the doctor to inquire about hospitalization and discharge procedures.

We arrived at the park downstairs.

The three little ones, who had rehearsed carefully, stepped forward one by one to greet Ran Mouri.

Seeing that the other party still had no recollection of them, they began to tell their stories one by one.

Unfortunately, it still didn't work.

Professor Agasa was heartbroken. "Ran, don't you even remember me? I'm Professor Agasa. Oh, right, Shinichi Kudo was in the same class as you since we were little. I was his neighbor and watched you grow up."

"Kudo...Shinichi...?" Ran Mouri slowly raised her eyes, her gaze seeming to brighten.

This move surprised everyone.

Conan quickly spoke up, "Ran-neechan, do you remember Shinichi-nii?!"

But Ran Mouri shook her head, "I don't remember."

Despite the bright and cheerful weather with lush grass and singing birds, one could feel a slight chill in the air.

Amnesia...it's truly a terrifying condition....

"Still no progress?"

At that moment, Ai Haibara walked over, carrying things in both hands, which together seemed to be bigger than her.

However, the two bunches of flowers make up the volume, and they don't weigh much.

Seeing her approach, Ayumi quickly said to Ran Mouri, "This is Ai Haibara, and also Conan's good friend. Don't you remember her?"

Ran Mouri shook her head again.

Ai Haibara put down what she was holding and picked out a mixed bouquet of flowers to give to Ran Mouri.

It contains various fresh flowers such as sunflowers and carnations, with bright colors and moderate fragrances, which can bring people a good mood.

Indeed, this was very effective; Ran Mouri's expression improved noticeably after receiving the flowers.

"Thank you, Ai."

"Get well soon, Sister Xiaolan, and return to your youthful appearance, as bright and beautiful as these flowers."

Ran Mouri was stunned after hearing this.

This... doesn't sound like something a child would say, and Ai's condition is completely different from the other three children.

Hiss...~

Ran Mouri suddenly felt a throbbing and aching sensation in her head.

Conan and the others quickly helped her up with concern.

"I'm fine... but I'd like to go back to my room and rest for a bit."

The visit ended there.

Ai Haibara was a little confused, unsure whether to say it or not.

Why did Ran Mouri start having a headache after I sent her flowers and gave her my blessings?

Is there something wrong with what she said?

I don't quite understand.

After thinking it over, Ai Haibara felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, so she said goodbye and left with the rest of her things.

She had only been gone a short while when Conan felt a gaze upon him. He turned his head but didn't see anyone.

...

the other side.

Judy officially met with Tomoaki Shinide.

"Someone wants to kill you and completely take your place."

"Well... then what?"

"Aren't you surprised?"

"There is some truth to that, but thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense. Recently, some people have indeed said some strange things to me, such as what I did in such and such places, but I have never actually been to those places."

Judy relaxed considerably, took out her identification and handed it over, "I'm an FBI agent. The person who tried to kill you is a long-time target we've been searching for."

"Since you yourself have already realized this, I now formally propose that you join our witness protection program. I wonder if Mr. Shinichi would be willing?"

Chapter 182: The Battle for Custody?

Shinichiro remained silent.

The documents in his hand looked quite authentic, but these days fake document makers are very brazen, so there's no way to make a judgment based solely on that.

Seeing that Shinichiro was beginning to hesitate, Judy continued:

"I can contact headquarters; there won't be any difficulty with identification, so you can rest assured."

Judy spoke with such confidence that Shinichiro believed her for the time being.

He cracked his knuckles. "I don't know exactly what the witness protection program is like?"

If they're willing to learn, then there's hope.

Judy immediately began her introduction.

The so-called witness protection program is to give the target a new identity so that they can go to the United States to start a new life.

"However, before you go to the United States, we need you to fake your death so that the other party believes you are really dead and then impersonate you."

"Her whereabouts are unpredictable, and we need to define her activity range through this method."

"Please rest assured that we will ensure that nothing goes wrong during the cooperation period. Your stay in the United States will not last long. You can come back after things are resolved here."

Judy continued to reinforce her emotional appeal, "Mr. Shinichi, instead of staying in Japan, why don't you go to America to relax?"

Shinichiro's stepmother killed his father.

Japan is indeed a painful place for him right now.

"Okay, I agree."

Shinichiro nodded vigorously, "I don't have any other conditions."

Once the matter was settled, Judy got up to take her leave.

After leaving Shinichi Akai's house, she immediately called Shuichi Akai to explain the situation.

"Vermouth... how will you handle this this time?"

...

Metropolitan Police Department.

Higashino escorted Kogoro Mouri out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Mr. Mori, the wanted notice for Tomonari was sent out last night, but we haven’t found him yet. We’ll have to wait a little longer.”

"Ms. Tamaki Nino's whereabouts have been confirmed, and so far she seems to be doing quite well."

The bumbling detective pondered, "Then... what about Chief Odagiri? Can he be cleared of suspicion?"

Higashino Ning didn't know what expression to make. "In my opinion, the director himself is innocent, and so is his son. It's just that there is no direct evidence to prove it for the time being."

Having witnessed Higashino Ning's deductive reasoning skills and his astonishing promotion from patrolman to police inspector, I have seen him firsthand.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri has a lot of trust in Higashino Ning's personal abilities.

Since the other party has said so, it seems that his former boss did not commit the crime.
