Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Kudo Shinichi hung up the phone and paced back and forth anxiously.

Although Professor Grave's plan is indeed very beneficial to them, if they can really obtain detailed research data on Drug A from the organization, then the research on the antidote for Drug A will be accelerated and their chances of recovery will become greater.

However, this is also very dangerous. If there is even the slightest mistake on the FBI's side, Professor Grave may never come back.

——This is a big gamble!

Kudo Shinichi was nervous and worried.

"Look at you. Where's the great detective's composure?"

Suddenly, a young man's cold voice came from behind. Kudo Shinichi's body trembled, and he turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.

There, the man in a suit was still leaning against the wall, his arms folded, looking at Kudo Shinichi quietly, with a smile on his face and a familiar gentleness in his dark eyes.

——Mr. Shirakawa!

How did he get here? When did he arrive? How much did he hear?

Kudo Shinichi was sweating profusely, feeling the cold sweat running down his forehead.

He didn't even notice it just now!

"Don't worry, I just arrived a short time ago and didn't hear anything." Bai Chuanqiu looked at the boy's face becoming solemn and deep, and waved his hand with a bit of amusement, "Wipe your cold sweat, don't take off your mask."

Kudo Shinichi quickly raised his hand to wipe it, but touched nothing. Meeting Mr. Shirakawa's teasing gaze, Kudo Shinichi immediately regretted it.

Doesn't his action directly prove that he is really guilty?

It's completely self-incriminating!

Ahhh, Kudo Shinichi, why are you so stupid!

Kudo Shinichi roared in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and chuckle, forcibly changing the subject: "Mr. Shirakawa, how did you get here?"

Bai Chuanqiu smiled and did not expose the boy's guilty conscience. Instead, he continued with his words: "Look, I climbed in through the window."

He pointed to the other side, and Kudo Shinichi saw that the glass door of the large platform next to him was open at the moment, as if it was specifically welcoming someone in.

Kudo Shinichi:......

The downside of having a house that's too big is that you don't even realize if the doors or windows are open.

"So this is ah."

After holding it in for a long time, Kudo Shinichi managed to utter these words.

Baichuanqiu: "Puff——"

Such a protagonist is really cute, and it’s really fun to entertain children.

The system was also gloating: "Host, if he knew that he had already been exposed in front of you, what would his expression be?"

Baichuan Qiu: "Maybe he wants to find a place to have sex."

System: “Hahahaha——”

"Okay, I won't ask about your affairs." Bai Chuanqiu found a seat and sat down. "After all, everyone has their own little secrets."

"Now tell me what you got from Green Chat."

Kudo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Shirakawa Akane all the news he had heard outside the study.

"Gin is coming soon..."

Baichuanqiu rubbed his fingers.

System: "Host, you have to get to work quickly, otherwise Gin's mission will not be completed."

It was not worried about anything else, but it was worried that Gin would come to the cafe with a gun to seek revenge on Shirakawa Akane.

"Don't worry, there's still a day left." Bai Chuanqiu was optimistic. "And based on my years of experience, I don't even need to take any action against Green Chat this time."

System: "Huh? Why? Based on today's situation, I'd rather believe Morgana is dying than Green Chat."

After all, Morgana really fits the law of the dead in Conan's world. She is a rich and bad-tempered young lady who is not nice to the people around her and almost takes the blame. Everyone dislikes her.

The system felt that instead of believing that Green Chat was about to die, it would be better to wait for the news of Morgana's death and let Green Chat die of grief.

Baichuanqiu: "...Little system, you can't do it."

System: "Then how did the host know?"

Shirakawa Qiu: "Intuition."

system:"……"

Kudo Shinichi: "I think Gin came here to deal with Green Chat, it is very likely related to the key."

Baichuanqiu: "Key?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Shirakawa Akane with a serious expression: "Mr. Shirakawa, do you know anything about that key?"

Baichuan Qiu raised his eyebrows.

Of course he knew.

Previously, Zhu Fujingguang gave the key to him for safekeeping. Later, Zhu Fujingguang was busy dealing with public security matters, so the key was put aside and is still in Shirakawa Qiu's hands.

"Mr. Shirakawa knows something?" When Kudo Shinichi saw Shirakawa Akane's expression, he knew that Mr. Shirakawa must know the key.

"This key was originally given to Morgana by Green Chat as a coming-of-age gift," Bai Chuanqiu explained. "It's said to be Green Chat's trump card for Morgana. If he were to lose power or die in the future, Morgana would be able to survive with the help of that key."

Kudo Shinichi frowned: "Is it the organization's handle?"

Baichuan Qiu nodded and shook his head: "I think so, but it doesn't make sense."

If it is an important handle of the organization, it will only accelerate Morganna's death. After all, the organization will not let its handle fall into the hands of others, or even become a bargaining chip to threaten them.

What kind of thing would be able to threaten the organization and even make the organization afraid to touch them again?

Kudo Shinichi also fell into deep thought.

"What kind of key is that?"

he asked suddenly.

"What kind of key..."

Bai Chuanqiu recalled the shape of the key and said hesitantly, "Actually, rather than saying it's a key, I'm more convinced it's a bracelet."

Kudo Shinichi: "???"

"It's a bracelet. The only thing that could be used as a key is the heart-shaped decoration."

Bai Chuanqiu said, roughly gesturing: "It's just a very ordinary silver bracelet, with a fingernail-sized heart-shaped decoration in the center. Apart from that, there's nothing else."

Kudo Shinichi hesitated: "...This, is the key?"

Kudo Shinichi couldn't accept that it was a key no matter how hard he tried.

Bai Chuanqiu shrugged, his expression helpless. "That's true. Otherwise, Green Chat wouldn't have so brazenly given it to Morgana as a gift, leaving no one to realize it was a key to survival for so long."

"Mr. Shirakawa, do you know where the key can open?"

Baichuan Qiu shook his head honestly.

He really didn't know this.

Even the system couldn't find any clues about this key from the plot.

Kudo Shinichi fell silent again.

Because the appearance of the key is so... different, Kudo Shinichi can't even imagine what kind of lock can use such a key.

It's just confusing.

"I'm afraid only Green Chat and Lex know this." Bai Chuanqiu said calmly, "Judging from Morgana's various behaviors, she probably doesn't know about this."

"I think it's very likely that Green Chat told Lex the function of the key and the location of the lock, and disguised the key as a bracelet to give to Morganna."

In this way, one knows the use of the key, and the other owns the key, which completely ties the fate of the two people together. Even if Green Chat dies, Lex will take good care of Morgana for the key.

I have to say that Green Chat really thought about every aspect for Morganna.

Unfortunately, Morganna was a fool, much more foolish than anyone imagined. Not only did she fail to keep the existence of the key a secret, she also failed to keep the key itself a secret.

And Baichuan Qiu guessed that Lex probably knew what the key was.

After all, Lex is extremely smart, and it is easy for him to control the fool Morganna.

However, Lex actually didn't touch the key...

There was a glint of interest in Shirakawa Qiu's eyes.

Is he truly conscientious, or is he just forbearing in secret?
