Model worker and his little darling

Sensing Conan's eager gaze, Haibara silently ate her ice cream. The APTX antidote was currently unstable; she couldn't possibly give it to Conan.

Seeing Ran staring intently at the photo, Sonoko looked at her with surprise and asked, "Ran, do you remember this photo?"

Xiaolan shook her head. "I feel like I know this person very well, but I don't know why."

"Sister Xiaolan, you'll remember him when you see him, so let's go find him."

Where did that high school detective go?

……

Hearing the three children's question, Conan silently walked to the window; there was nothing he could do in his current state.

"Xiao Lan, how about we go to the tropical park again and see if you can remember anything?"

Xiaolan nodded.

Upon hearing this, the three little ones also decided to go together to continue protecting Xiaolan.

After seeing the others off, Conan followed Ai Haibara to Professor Agasa's house. After much persuasion, Haibara finally agreed to give him the antidote.

"This is the kind you took last time. It should last for about three hours. You can decide for yourself. Shinichi Kudo, the more you take it, the more resistant you become, and the shorter the duration of the effect will become in the future."

Conan looked at the antidote in his hand and nodded solemnly.

"How's your research on that baijiu going?"

"Still under investigation."

Upon learning that Conan had successfully obtained the antidote, Hirai smiled and took out the reagent he had acquired at the research institute a few days prior. He had been planning to secretly feed it to Conan, but the opportunity had arrived so quickly.

The next day, Uncle Maori led a large group of people to the tropical park.

Eri was still worried, but Uncle Mori said that Kyosuke Kazato had been missing and the Metropolitan Police Department had started searching for him. With so many people protecting Ran, there would be no problem.

Uncle Mori led Ran around, explaining the facilities as they walked.

Hirai silently left the group and found Conan hiding in the toilet. "We're here. Hurry up and take the antidote. Go ride the roller coaster with Ran one more time."

After taking the antidote and going through a lot of trouble, Conan successfully returned to being Shinichi Kudo.

"Pingqing, I'm going now."

Watching Shinichi Kudo run off into the distance, Hirai stretched his wrists, feeling a bit itchy. He'd hit Shinichi with a stick here last time; he really wanted to do it again.

Looking at the roller coaster in front of her, Xiaolan felt some images flash through her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp them.

"I remember when Shinichi Kudo came here with you, he solved a roller coaster murder case here."

Hearing what the uncle said, Sonoko excitedly suggested, "Ran, why don't we go up and sit for a bit? Maybe you'll think of more things."

Shinichi Kudo ran all the way to the entrance of the roller coaster and ran into Uncle Mori and his group.

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt. I heard that Xiaolan was injured, so I came to see her."

Uncle Mori snorted coldly and didn't reply.

The couple exchanged a synchronized glance, squinting as they looked Shinichi Kudo up and down. What was this kid up to?

Suddenly remembering something, Uncle Mori turned around and saw Hirai looking at Ran and Shinichi with curiosity.

"Xiao Lan, are you alright?"

Ran looked at Shinichi Kudo in front of her and felt a sense of familiarity. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing Ran like this, Shinichi Kudo felt very sad.

Then Shinichi Kudo pulled Ran to sit in the same spot they used to sit in and started talking about what they had said back then.

"You know what? I think Conan Doyle would say that..."

Xiao Lan gradually recalled some scenes from that time.

Seeing Shinichi Kudo chatter on and on, Uncle Mori clenched his fists. But seeing Ran's smile, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

Sonoko, with a gossipy look on her face, pulled Hirai to sit behind the two of them, wanting to hear what the two of them talked about on their dates, but it turned out to be all Sherlock Holmes.

Sonoko: ...

She had been waiting in vain, thinking there would be some sweet words.

The flying car slowly started and smoothly passed through the dark tunnel.

Since Gin, vodka, and the head weren't involved this time, Ran didn't remember anything; only the uncle was screaming in terror.

Shinichi Kudo placed a bottle of cola in front of Ran, saying, "Here, you must be thirsty."

Just then, a person dressed in a squirrel costume suddenly and strangely walked towards Xiaolan.

Upon seeing this, the detective team shouted.

"Sister Xiaolan, it's dangerous."

The squirrel, feeling guilty, took off running. The three little ones chased after it and used boomerangs, pepper spray, and toy handcuffs to catch it.

Uncle Mori ripped off his hood, revealing a handsome face underneath – it was real.

He was choked by the pepper spray and couldn't speak, and since he had a knife with him for self-defense, Uncle Mori declared the case solved.

Takagi, who had come along, grabbed Yoshino and said, "Mr. Mori, I'll take him back to headquarters first."

Uncle Mori was going to the police station with Takagi, so Ran, Shinichi, and the other kids could play here. He then turned to Eri and told her to keep an eye on the children.

"Pingqing, do you really think he's the murderer?"

"How should I know? Alright, you don't have much time left, you should go and keep Xiaolan company first."

A group of people were having a blast at the amusement park. Pingqing was being dragged around by Yuanzi, and looking at the things in his hands, he realized that he had become the young lady's follower.

He wouldn't have bothered coming to the amusement park if it weren't to check on Shinichi Kudo's condition.

"Are you OK."

Upon hearing Ran's voice, Pingqing turned his head and saw Shinichi Kudo clutching his chest. It seemed the effects of the medicine were wearing off, around the same time as last time.

He then handed her a bottle of water, saying, "You look so tired, have some water first."

After drinking the water, Shinichi Kudo felt the pain gradually subside, but there was no sign of him turning back. He looked at Hirai in confusion; was the water Hirai gave him really that magical?

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo was alright, Taira Kiyoshi smiled and said, "It's about time, we should go eat."

The three little ones jumped up excitedly when they heard it was time to eat, exclaiming, "Great!"

And so, the group marched toward the restaurant. Shinichi Kudo approached Hirai and asked, "Hirai-nii, what's going on with this water? I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer, but suddenly I was fine."

Hirai took the bottle and looked at it. "I don't know either. I'll keep it for now and show it to Ai Haibara later."

And so, the group played until night.

This time, there was no pursuit from Kyosuke Kazato, and Ran did not regain her memories, only recalling some scenes.

After taking Ran home, Hirai and Shinichi Kudo went to Professor Agasa's house.

Looking at Shinichi Kudo's physical data, Ai Haibara's brow never relaxed. There was nothing wrong, but the antidote she gave him wouldn't last that long.

Hirai stared at Shinichi Kudo, also curious about when he would turn back.

According to her father, the results of the experiment on Akemi Miyano were not ideal.

Sure enough, even as a guinea pig, the protagonist was more resilient than the others.
