Conan's mood fell again, and he stood beside Haibara Ai with his hands hanging down.

"It would be better if... I died at the beginning."

Haibara Ai lowered her head and hid her expression in the shadows.

"What are you talking about..." Conan laughed dryly.

The death of Shuichi Akai, the threat of the mysterious man, the collapse of Ai Haibara, so many things happened at the same time that even Conan was a little at a loss.

Huiyuan Ai raised her head, wiped away her tears, and pretended nothing happened and said, "Nothing."

She had no choice, either way.

"It's already late, why don't you leave?" Haibara Ai calmed down and asked calmly.

Conan looked at the girl who left the table and turned to the window. She didn't look like she was alright. "Habara, have you made up your mind?"

Huiyuan Ai looked at the moon outside the window. When she heard the voice coming from behind, she said without turning back, "I have no choice, and neither do you."

Maybe she shouldn't have expected Kudo Shinichi to defeat the organization from the beginning. Even if she escaped, she wouldn't come here to try her luck, wouldn't meet Professor Agasa, and wouldn't be bound by this warmth.

"I will make the medicine as requested, and I hope he won't come to me again."

Haibara Ai's helpless tone was like a needle piercing Conan's heart.

He had clearly said before that he would protect Haibara Ai, but in this situation he could do nothing.

"No," Conan retorted glumly.

Haibara Ai turned her head, her melancholy eyes seemed to be asking a silent question.

"We can tell the FBI this news." Conan met her eyes and said firmly.

Huiyuan Ai frowned slightly, then turned her head to look out the window, "Will the FBI help us?"

"Mr. Akai was murdered by someone from the organization. The FBI is running out of clues, and the information held by this 'Qian' is equally important to them."

"......I understand. I will cooperate." Haibara Ai couldn't think of a better way, so she agreed hesitantly.

Conan immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the number James had just given him, but no one answered after three consecutive calls. He called Judy and got the same result.

"Maybe they have rested." Looking at Conan walking back and forth anxiously, Haibara Ai kindly comforted him.

"I will stay with Dr. Agasa for the next few days."

Conan said sullenly, opened the door and left the room.

Huibara Ai did not respond and still stood by the window.

In the living room, Dr. Agasa looked back frequently, and the worry on his face was about to overflow.

"Shinichi, what's going on?"

What happened that required him to be sent away? He asked worriedly as he looked at Conan who looked tired.

The soup on the table next to them was still steaming, but no one was interested in it.

"I just told Haibara about Mr. Okiya."

Looking at the gray-haired doctor in front of him, Conan did not hesitate to conceal the threat from the mysterious man.

"Then she..."

Dr. Agasa tilted his head and looked towards the bedroom, but Haibara Ai did not come out.

"She said she wanted to be alone."

"Is that so?" Dr. Agasa turned back with some disappointment, poured a bowl of hot soup and placed it on the table, "You should also come and eat something, hot food will bring people a good mood."

"......Um."

A sour feeling surged up Conan's nose and he slowly moved over and sat down.

Where he couldn't see, Dr. Agasa sighed, sat down on the sofa opposite the TV, stared at the screen but kept paying attention to Conan behind him.

Conan touched the slightly hot bowl of soup, took a few sips, and slightly dispelled the coldness in his heart.

"Doctor, I want to stay here for a few days," he said softly.

"Of course, you can stay as many days as you want." Dr. Agasa agreed immediately without asking why.

Conan smiled gratefully and drank the last mouthful of soup.

He did not go to see Haibara Ai that night. He was in a very excited state just now and did not think carefully about his current situation and future plans.

Conan returned to his room early and lay down on the bed.

The quiet space helped him cool down his restless brain. He counted the information he received today and thought about how to negotiate with James tomorrow. This time he wanted to confront the organization in person.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day he was woken up by Dr. Agasa. The old man looked panicked and said to the sleepy Conan: "Shinichi! Mr. Maori was beaten!"

"what!"

Conan stood up suddenly and got confirmation from Dr. Agasa's panicked pupils, "Uncle Mori, how could he... when did this happen!!"

"In the early hours of last night, he was sniped while watching horse racing on the second floor." Dr. Agasa's tone was heavy, with a bad association, "Shinichi, those people could not be..."

Two suspects suddenly emerged in Conan's mind, one was the 'Akiyama Jin' whose purpose was unknown, and the other was the 'Sen' who threatened him last night.

But he was more inclined to the latter.

"Doctor, where is Uncle Maori now?"

"At the Beihu Hospital, Xiaolan said..."

Before Dr. Agasa could finish his words, Conan jumped out of bed as fast as lightning, not even bothering to put on his slippers, and ran barefoot to the entrance to go out.

"Wait a minute! Shinichi!" Dr. Agasa followed breathlessly and said, "Xiaolan told you not to go over there yet."

"Why?" Conan stopped suddenly, countless doubts in his mind.

"She said it's too dangerous, so she asked you to wait here for Officer Sato." Dr. Agasa said it all in one breath, fearing that Conan would act impulsively. "Mr. Maori's injury is not serious, he was only shot in the shoulder. He is currently being questioned and protected by the Investigation Division in the hospital. Because we don't know who the suspect is, the crisis is likely to spread to you and Xiaolan."

"Damn it." Conan lowered his head dejectedly, and didn't go anywhere. He just sat on the steps of the entrance without moving.

Dr. Agasa also sat next to him and waited with him.

Not long after, Miwako Sato came to pick Conan up.

Dr. Agasa stood at the gate, looking at the vehicles going away with a worried look on his face. He stood there for a long time before going back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Huibara Ai wrapped in a quilt and standing barefoot in the middle of the house.

"Detective Maori was shot?" she asked.

Dr. Agasa was delighted to see Huihara Ai, who had not left her room for three days, but then became sad when he heard her words, "Well, but it's okay now."

He sighed, what was going on lately.

He didn't notice the girl's face gradually losing color.

Haibara Ai thinks the same way as Conan, this is a warning from "Sen".

"Doctor, can you make me a bowl of noodles?"

She tried hard not to show any weirdness in front of Dr. Agasa and spoke in the same tone.

"Okay, of course no problem."

Regarding Haibara Ai's condition, Dr. Agasa still believes that her mental condition is caused by nightmares. The fact that she wants to cook noodles by herself must be because Conan said something last night and she has come out of her emotions.

He thought optimistically.

Haibara Ai looked at his back without saying anything, pulled the quilt tightly and returned to the room.
