Model worker and his little darling

Hirai and Ai Haibara remained silent, but Hirai didn't seem to mind that Haibara was scrutinizing him.

In conversation, you must take the initiative.

Furthermore, Haibara is different from Conan. Conan doesn't understand the darkness, and although he's very intelligent, he's also easily fooled. Haibara, on the other hand, is very perceptive, especially with her alcohol detector.

After a long silence, Haibara finally spoke.

"Can I trust you?"

Pingqing glanced at Haibara with surprise. Actually, it wasn't a very good way to ask the question, but what did it have to do with him? To him, the dumber the opponent, the better.

He then smiled, trying to appear gentle and harmless.

"of course."

"Ito Tairakiyo, what's your codename?"

Hirai blinked. "Haibara, do you know what you're saying?"

Haibara fell silent again, recalling how Taira no Kiyoshi had hidden her on the bus last time. Taira no Kiyoshi must know her identity.

"Shirley."

Ping Qing's eyes flashed. He hadn't expected Haibara to be so direct. What was her purpose in revealing herself today?

"Tokay."

Wow, he's come up with another name. He's really going further and further down the path of deception.

"You did lie to Shinichi Kudo."

“Miss Sherry, it’s better for Shinichi Kudo to know less.”

Haibara nodded, having to admit that Hirakiyo was right. With Shinichi Kudo's personality, he gets carried away by the organization; knowing too much would only hasten his demise.

Do you know Shuichi Akai?

"I know, he's an FBI agent who infiltrated the organization, but was discovered by Yu Lu. In the end, he stole the organization's data, escaped back to the United States with serious injuries."

Upon hearing the name "Mishika," Haibara trembled slightly. "You know Mishika?"

"Yes, I am now under Yu Lu's command."

Tsk, that way even if Haibara senses something from him, he can deny it by saying he's been in too much contact with Mishika.

"With Yu Lu's keen senses, are you sure he didn't notice you?"

“I’ve known him since the United States, and he brought me to Japan, so he doesn’t suspect me now.”

"How is Shuichi Akai doing now?"

Heiji looked at Haibara with a smile, and upon hearing this, he understood what Haibara meant.

She kept asking Shuichi Akai, and the person connected to Shuichi Akai was Akemi Miyano; she wanted to know news about Akemi Miyano.

"If I remember correctly, Shuichi Akai entered the organization through your sister Akemi Miyano's connections. After he ran away, your sister was put in solitary confinement."

Upon hearing her sister's name, Haibara could no longer maintain her composure. She had searched for her sister for so long without finding a single clue, which increased the likelihood that her sister was still within the organization.

Ito Hirakiyo is an FBI agent who infiltrated the organization. She is the only person connected to the organization that Ito Hirakiyo has contact with, and she wants to know if her sister is really in the organization.

You know my sister?

"I only know a little bit. Yu Shika said a few words about it. He and Gin handled this matter. I have no right to get involved."

Upon hearing Gin's name, Haibara's mind conjured up Gin's face, and she trembled slightly.

Seeing Haibara's distraught state, Hirai also thought of Miyano Akemi. Haibara is lucky, really; she has Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys by her side, enjoys a free life outside, and can still attend school.

After being taken away by her father, Akemi Miyano was taken to the laboratory and became a real lab rat.

Is my sister still involved in the organization?

"I don't know. The organization is currently tracking down the whereabouts of you two sisters. However, your sister isn't that important; the focus is on you."

"But don't worry, as long as you don't steal the spotlight like Shinichi Kudo, no one will suspect you. After all, no one would expect you to be like this. As for your sister, I'll find out about her secretly."

Haibara nodded gently. "I understand. Thank you."

These two lab rats kept outside can't afford to get into trouble right now, especially since Conan is Haibara's lab rat. He copied all of Haibara's data here and sent it to the research institute.

"You and Shuichi Akai are both FBI agents, so why would Shinichi Kudo think that Shuichi Akai is part of his organization?"

Pingqing sighed, "I don't know how this matter turned out this way. The story about Conan seeing Shuichi Akai sniping the Metropolitan Police Department is fake."

"But I told Conan that I was just an ordinary peripheral member, and I couldn't say too much. Otherwise, Conan would keep pestering me to know more about the organization, which would be too dangerous and might put you in an even bigger crisis."

Conan, who was outside, was getting a little anxious as he watched the two talk for so long without coming out.

He actually wanted to participate in the conversation, but Haibara disagreed.

He could tell that Haibara hadn't told him everything she knew about the organization. And no matter how he asked, Haibara wouldn't say anything; he wondered if she would tell Hirakiyo.

After thinking for a moment, Conan walked to the door, wanting to hear what the two were saying, but he heard nothing, because the two inside the room were also silent.

Noticing Conan's arrival, Hirai opened the door, crossed his arms, and looked at Conan, saying, "Conan, eavesdropping is not good, you know."

Conan scratched his head sheepishly. "Hehe, Brother Pingqing, I just saw you guys talking for too long, so I came over to see if there's anything I can help you with."

"Oh, I see. We've finished talking and were just about to head out." With that, Heikichi picked up Conan and walked out.

Seeing the group approaching, Ayumi asked curiously, "Taikiyo-nii, Ai-chan, what are you secretly discussing? We've already planned our camping trip."

"Last time on the bus, I saved Conan and Ai Haibara, and Ai Haibara prepared a gift for me. Unlike Conan, who got nothing, it really broke my heart."

Conan was taken aback by Hiraiyoshi's words, and he didn't seem to react much.

"Oh, so that's what you're talking about. Brother Pingqing, why don't you come camping with us?"

"Yes, yes, last time Brother Pingqing took us to catch fish and make grilled fish. Let's go together this time, let's go on a forest adventure."

Pingqing sat on the sofa and chatted happily with the three children. He and Haibara were both hiding something, and it was obvious that because of Shuichi Akai, Haibara didn't have a good impression of the FBI, so she had to maintain this persona.

After chatting for a while, Hirakiyo agreed to the detective team's request to go camping with them over the weekend. With them there, the storyline would definitely be triggered.

Ugh, another all-nighter.
