Model worker and his little darling

Pingqing patted the large bag. "Conan, Ran and I were just worried about you. You know, the criminals have guns. What if they accidentally hurt you? The uncles are professionally trained. It's too dangerous for a little kid like you."

Hearing how serious Pingqing was, Xiaoran also became serious: "Conan, if you don't behave, your favorite little cake won't be available today."

"I understand, Sister Xiaolan."

"Officer, we also have a mask and gloves left in the driver's cab by the perpetrators." The monitor then handed over two pieces of evidence.

Inspector Megure took it and saw a lipstick mark on it.

Pingqing stared at the lip print. He remembered that Miyano Akemi's face wasn't that long, so why was the mark so low down there? Could it be Gin or vodka?

That doesn't make sense, Vodka's head is so big, this hood wouldn't fit. Hmm, so Gin's face is actually this long?

Or was it left behind by the two men who collaborated with Akemi Miyano?

Upon seeing this, Conan immediately jumped up, snatched the bag, opened it, smelled it, and then suddenly realized what had happened.

"Duang~~~"

Uncle Mori snatched the bag back, saying, "This is important evidence. What are you going to do with it?"

Seeing that Conan had two unusually large bumps on his head, Hirai took out his phone to take a picture as a memento, and also shared it with Ran.

Ultimately, Inspector Megure launched an investigation into the case as a simple robbery.

The group went to a restaurant and had a big meal. The older man, in particular, was heartbroken at the thought of the 1 billion yen and insisted on drinking with Pingqing. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the 1 billion yen belonged to him.

When Pingqing got home, he found that there was an extra person in the house.

"Dad, when did you arrive? Why didn't you and Mom tell me you were coming to Japan so I could pick you up? You're always so secretive."

Chikako slapped Hirai in annoyance. "I don't know where you've been these past two days. I couldn't find you anywhere. Honestly, you didn't even tell me. I was worried about you."

Pingqing poured Chikako a glass of water. "Mom, don't be angry. Look, I'm perfectly fine. Next time I go out, I'll definitely tell you first, and I'll never run around again."

Seeing that Chikako had taken the water, Hirashi knew she wasn't angry. So he immediately rushed to his father's side, took a closer look, and saw that she looked quite well.

"Dad, are you fully recovered? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Shuji Ito ruffled Hirai's hair. "I'm fine. I'll be staying in Japan from now on."

Pingqing blinked and then threw herself into her father's arms. "Really? You'll be staying in Japan with me from now on? That's great, Dad, Mom, you'll be living the high life with me from now on."

"Haha, it's been so long since we last met, how come you've learned to act cute? I heard from your mom that you've grown up a lot, how come you're still so childish."

"No, so many people pamper me, I don't want to grow up."

Shuji Ito patted Kiyoshi on the back. "Looks like you're doing pretty well in Japan."

Heiji nodded. He was indeed doing well, except when he got beaten up by Gin.

"However, your mother and I still have things to do, unlike you who have it so easy. This time I came to Japan to enter the laboratory. Moreover, our relationship cannot be exposed, and I will not appear outside, so we cannot live together."

"Huh? That's it."

Seeing that Pingqing was in low spirits, Qianjia grabbed Pingqing's ear and said, "Alright, it's not like we can't meet. Why are you so dejected? And as soon as your dad comes, you forget about your old mother, right?"

"Dear Mommy, please be gentle, it hurts!" Pingqing quickly begged for mercy, freeing his ear from Qianjiazi's grasp.

Suddenly, Pingqing remembered something, "Dad, did Grandpa ask you to participate in Shirley's experiment?"

Shuji Ito nodded. "I was friends with the Miyano couple back then, and I've seen their experimental records. Over the years, my experiments in the United States have made some progress, but I was being closely followed by the FBI, so I came to Japan."

Pingqing suddenly realized that this was the old man's idea.

"Buzz-"

Pingqing reluctantly picked up his phone. He wanted to kill this person. Why did he have to call now of all times?

Hmm? Gin?

"Go and take the 1 billion yen that Miyano Akemi stole, and keep an eye on her movements while you're at it."

"okay."

Hearing Pingqing's listless voice, Gin paused for a moment, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, you just interrupted my good time. By the way, where are Kishii and Shirou Kaizuka?"

"I'll take care of this with Vodka tonight."

Seeing that Gin had already made arrangements, Heisei hung up the phone and slumped onto the sofa, feeling so tired that he didn't want to move.

"What? You have a mission?"

Pingqing nodded while yawning; even though he had slept for two days, he was still very sleepy.

……

As night fell, Hirakiyo sneaked into Miyano Akemi's apartment and silently hid himself in the darkness.

Akemi Miyano sat at the table, looking at the photo of her and Sherry, tears glistening on her face. "Shiho, it's my fault for being incompetent. I couldn't protect you, I couldn't get you out of this organization. Mom and Dad died for the organization, and we're controlled by them too. I know you're not happy..."

"Moroboshi Dai, Akai Shuichi, why are you an FBI agent? If I weren't part of the organization, would our fate have been different...?"

Listening to Miyano Akemi's whispers, Hirakiyo was speechless. Miyano Akemi was thinking about leaving the organization at this time, but she was still thinking about Akai Shuichi.

Is Shuichi Akai really that charming? He's been on Miyano Akemi's mind for so long. If you weren't part of the organization, you wouldn't even know Shuichi Akai.

Akemi Miyano opened a small box on the table; inside was a tiny pill.

Hiraki stood there, stunned. This was APTX4869! How did Miyano Akemi get this? Did Sherry give it to her?

Just as she was about to step forward to stop her, Miyano Akemi swallowed the pill without hesitation. "Shiho, is this pill really like you said? It will make people shrink? Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'm willing to try it."

"Even if it means death, I don't want to be controlled by the organization anymore. But I'm afraid that if I die, you'll be all alone in this world. What will you do then...?"

Hirai stared at Miyano Akemi, who was suffering terribly from the effects of the drug. These two sisters were really something else, trying to escape the organization through something like this. Wasn't Sherry afraid her sister would die after taking this drug? Or were the two sisters planning to go to their deaths together?

Sherry can shrink after eating it, but Akemi Miyano doesn't know that.

I originally thought it would just be Conan as a guinea pig, maybe with Sherry at most, but I didn't expect that Miyano Akemi might also be added.

Wow, this is too surreal.

"Xiao Qi, do you think she'll shrink?"

[Host, I think she might die.]

Suddenly, Pingqing thought of Sherry. Damn, could it be what he was thinking? So he immediately dialed Gin's number.

"What happened?"

“Gin, go to Sherry’s place immediately. Akemi Miyano took APTX4869. I suspect something happened to Sherry too.”

Upon hearing this, Gin immediately said, "Vodka, forget about that brat, let's go to the biological research institute."

"You're being followed?"

"This brat, whoever he appears out of nowhere, saw us coming out of the Kishii house."

After hanging up the phone, Pingqing shook his head, knowing without a doubt that the kid was Conan.

Tsk, tonight is getting more and more absurd. If Gin hadn't been busy going to Sherry's place, Conan would be doomed.

Oh well, with the protagonist's halo around, Conan always manages to escape danger whenever he encounters Gin.
