People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"So, why did you add that auto-delete program to that text message? Were you afraid he'd find out about us?"

On the second floor of the Asakawa family home, in Asakawa Yu's room, as Asakawa Yu stared at the computer screen where the automatic information deletion program was starting to work, Haibara Ai couldn't help but ask.

After thinking for a moment, Asakawa Yu nodded: "Yes, that's part of the reason."

Hearing this ambiguous answer, Ai Haibara keenly grasped the loophole in Asakawa Yu's words.

"Wait a minute! You just said 'also,' right? So there are actually other reasons?"

It can only be said that he is indeed a scientist with an IQ far exceeding that of ordinary people, easily grasping the other meaning in his words.

Asakawa Yu didn't hide anything, but nodded, though she didn't say it directly.

"I see. Let me guess, aside from some reasons I don't know, what could possibly make you do something like this? It must be something related to your sister, right?"

Seeing this, Ai Haibara rolled her eyes and began her reasoning, but suddenly realized something, and her icy blue eyes lit up instantly!

Seeing Ai Haibara's expression, Asakawa Yu knew that she probably already knew his purpose.

"Yes, it's just as you guessed. Although I don't really care about the text message your sister sent him, your sister doesn't think so. I used this method to put her at ease."

Asakawa Yu stared into Haibara Ai's eyes and said nonchalantly, but Haibara Ai didn't think so.

Heh, isn't this guy exactly the kind of person he described before, I think his name is... Tsundere!

"I think it's clearly just you who cares more!"

Ai Haibara narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but tease Yu Asakawa.

She used to think that this guy didn't care much about her sister, but now it seems that he is actually the same kind of person as her sister.

Especially when it comes to considering the other person's feelings...

"But aren't you afraid they'll cause you trouble?"

Although Ai Haibara understood Asakawa Yu's actions very well, it didn't mean she wasn't considering the dangers involved. Therefore, Ai Haibara looked at him with a hint of worry.

"Don't worry, I have my own reasons for doing this. Otherwise, wouldn't I just be asking for trouble for nothing?"

As Asakawa Yu explained, he looked at the data displayed on the computer screen. After confirming that he had hacked all of Akai Shuichi's information, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's about it. Let's go downstairs for dinner. Your sister's dinner should be almost ready by now."

Asakawa Yu stood up, stretched, and prepared to take Haibara Ai downstairs.

Ai Haibara didn't refute, but jumped off the chair and followed Yu Asakawa.

When the two arrived downstairs, they saw Mingmei carrying a bowl of soup she had prepared, walking out of the kitchen.

"Hey? Boss, is everything ready on your end? Dinner will be ready soon."

Seeing that Asakawa Yu had already arrived at the dining table, Akemi smiled and said something, then went back to the kitchen to prepare to bring out the remaining food.

"Sister, let me help you."

Seeing her older sister so busy, Ai Haibara couldn't just sit there and wait, so she volunteered to go into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Asakawa Yu smiled helplessly, revealing a slight smile.

...............

"Hmm... Boss, is it that these dishes don't suit your taste?"

Akemi, who had been silently watching Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai eat, blinked in confusion when she saw Asakawa Yu staring at the table but not picking up his chopsticks.

"No, no, I was just thinking about something else."

"Other matters? Is it related to that organization?"

Because Akemi felt that it must be something related to that organization, she started guessing in that direction.

"Well, I guess that counts too."

After all, Shuichi Akai is connected to the organization, so what he said isn't exactly lying.

"Alright, alright, let's eat properly first. We can think about everything else later, okay?"

As Akemi spoke, she picked up a piece of fish from the table with her chopsticks, removed the bones, and put it into Asakawa Yu's bowl. Of course, Haibara Ai also got a share.

Asakawa Yu paused for a moment, glanced at Akemi out of the corner of her eye, said nothing about her behavior, just smiled at her, and then turned her attention back to the food.

Mingmei is right. Let's not think about those things for now. Eating is the most important thing.

While Asakawa Yu and his friends were having a good time, Akai Shuichi's situation was not so good.

Seeing that all the information on his phone had been formatted, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

But when the phone restarted, he calmed down once again.

Doubt flashed across his eyes, and his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

It seems I underestimated that man...

Come to think of it, someone who could save her from Gin must be no ordinary person.

In the end, it was my own carelessness that got the better of me.

So it seems that she must have given him his contact information this time.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this person should not be considered his enemy, because he could tell that the guy was trying to lure him to meet Gin, while he would sit back and reap the benefits.

With his eyelids twitching slightly, Shuichi Akai pursed his lips and began to sort out everything that had happened from the moment he left until now.

Admittedly, even knowing he was being used as a pawn, Shuichi Akai still chose to trust Yu Asakawa one more time for Gin's sake, and planned to take the risk himself, preparing to contact the man named Yoshiaki Hara tonight.

But now, Shuichi Akai himself couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He originally returned here for one reason: to avenge Miyano Akemi with his own hands. But now, after learning that Miyano Akemi is likely still alive, his obsession seems to have lessened somewhat.

Simply put, the goal of destroying the organization remains the same, but something's missing...

Thinking this, Shuichi Akai seemed to chuckle at his own thoughts, a barely perceptible, sarcastic smile appearing on his lips…
