Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Not yet, because it happened too suddenly. I'm worried that Shinichi would do something impulsive out of excitement, so I haven't told him yet." Shaking his head slightly, Dr. Agasa answered decisively.

Although Shinichi's intelligence and abilities have always reassured those around him, Dr. Agasa still trusts Shizuka Hiratsuka more in terms of mental strength.

After all, even if the little girl in front of him was really someone from that organization, with Shizuka Hiratsuka here, any problems could be suppressed in time.

"It was right not to tell him." Holding the back of her neck with her hands, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her neck.

"I'll be here tonight to see when this little girl wakes up."

"This is really, is it a surprise or a shock..."

Chapter 288

"Um, uh~"

Miyano Shiho felt dizzy and tried to open her eyes with difficulty, but the bright light forced them to close again.

"I have no strength." This was the first thought that came to Miyano Shiho's mind as she moved her body with common sense.

'Where am I?' This was the first thought that came to Miyano Shiho's mind after she regained some consciousness.

Hazy and confused memories slowly emerged in her mind, and Miyano Shiho was a little dazed.

She remembered that she swallowed the last capsule hidden on her body in desperation. She was determined to say goodbye to the world, but she found that she had miraculously become smaller.

Using all her strength to escape from the garbage chute of the room where she was being held, Miyano Shiho used up her last bit of strength and came to the doorstep of Kudo Shinichi, the high school detective whose tracks she had hidden and who might have had the same experience as herself.

"Yes, I should have fainted at their doorstep, but." Feeling the softness and comfort of her body beneath her, Miyano Shiho's heart couldn't help but jump, and then she resolutely opened her eyes.

It took a while to adjust to the lighting in the room, and Miyano Shiho tried to support herself but found it a bit difficult.

Maybe it was the effect of the medicine, or maybe her body on a hunger strike had reached its limit in supporting her escape. Miyano Shiho felt that her health was now in extremely bad condition.

"Where is this?" However, Miyano Shiho had no intention of relaxing her body.

Resisting the discomfort in her body, she raised her head with difficulty, trying to get a clear view of where she was.

"Oh, are you awake already?"

The sudden sound made Miyano Shiho's heart beat violently. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the footsteps, and a strange woman appeared in Miyano Shiho's sight.

No, it's not accurate to say that she was a stranger. Miyano Shiho remembered that when she was checking Kudo Shinichi's information, she saw the photo of this woman in his interpersonal relationships.

"Hiratsuka Shizuka, Kudo Shinichi's aunt, is a long-time friend of his parents and has always taken care of Kudo Shinichi." With her heart slightly at ease, Miyano Shiho quietly watched the woman approach her, support her back with her hand, and then prop up her pillow, allowing her to lean against the headboard.

"You want to sit up?" With a faint smile on her face, Shizuka Hiratsuka lifted up Miyano Shiho's body and then reached out to touch her forehead.

"Well, the fever has subsided a little. It's not very serious after all."

"..." Miyano Shiho didn't say anything, she was just a little dazed when Hiratsuka Shizuka's palm was placed on her forehead.

I haven't felt this kind of gentle touch for a long time.

"This is the home of Kudo Shinichi's neighbor, the old man named Dr. Agasa." Her body was lifted up, her vision was widened, and she quickly took in her surroundings. Miyano Shiho nodded slowly in her heart.

She had led people to investigate Kudo Shinichi's family twice and was no stranger to Professor Agasa who lived next door. Rather, after knowing where she was, Miyano Shiho's tense heart relaxed slightly.

"Looks like I've escaped." Lowering her head slightly, Miyano Shiho, who should have been feeling relieved at the thought of her escape, couldn't seem to be happy at all.

"You woke up earlier than I expected." Looking at Miyano Shiho who lowered her head and remained silent, Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked, but did not immediately do anything extreme.

After deciding that she had to stay here to get some information from Miyano Shiho, Shizuka Hiratsuka thought for a moment and immediately called Fatty, asking him to help call a monster with stronger reconnaissance ability from the tavern to help.

Although strictly speaking, all the monsters in Kong Lao's tavern are not allowed to actively intervene in human affairs, Shizuka Hiratsuka said very casually that she did not ask for anything. She just felt that there might be other monsters around Dr. Agasa's house that would endanger human safety. After letting Fatty and the others decide whether to show off, Fatty smiled and said that the guy who ruined their monster culture and reputation must be severely punished.

They are obliged!

Then, a monster that Shizuka Hiratsuka had fought with in the tavern secretly rushed to the vicinity of Dr. Agasa's house and lurked there to help Shizuka Hiratsuka monitor the surrounding situation.

It was precisely because of his help, and because Shizuka Hiratsuka carefully checked Miyano Shiho's body and clothes while she was sleeping, and confirmed that there were no trackers or monitors, that she was able to take her time.

She was safe and there were no strange people around, so Shizuka Hiratsuka temporarily put aside the possibility that Miyano Shiho was sent by that strange organization to fish.

After all, no matter how you analyze it, Conan's identity should not be exposed.

"Would you like something to eat?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked softly. She didn't get a response from Miyano Shiho, but she didn't care. She waved her hand and asked Dr. Agasa, who was watching from the side, to bring over the porridge she had ordered from takeout and prepared as a midnight snack.

"Eat some, and your body will be warmer."

"Yeah." Miyano Shiho looked up at Hiratsuka Shizuka quietly for a while, nodded slightly, and took the porridge that had just been taken out of the microwave and was still hot from Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand.

The room suddenly became quiet again. Except for the sound of Miyano Shiho sipping her porridge, neither Hiratsuka Shizuka nor Dr. Agasa took the initiative to say anything.

"Have you finished drinking? Do you want more?"

The amount of porridge was a bit too much for a little kid, but Miyano Shiho still finished it slowly.

"No, thank you." Shiho Miyano said in a somewhat awkward tone, shaking her head slowly.

"You're welcome." Shizuka Hiratsuka took the empty plastic bowl from Miyano Shiho's hand and put it aside with a smile. She blinked and fixed her gaze on Miyano Shiho's indifferent face again.

"My name is Shizuka Hiratsuka, and this is Dr. Agasa. We found you collapsed in front of the gate of the villa next door."

"Oh, it's Kudo Shinichi's villa." The smile on the corner of her mouth slowly faded. Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Miyano Shiho who had raised her eyes and looked at her, and her expression became serious.

"There are some things I want to know. I wonder if this young lady with a strange background can give me some explanations."

"..." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka's scrutinizing eyes and Dr. Agasa's close gaze on her, Miyano Shiho blinked.

She knew that it was indeed very strange for her to appear in this situation when she was at the end of her rope. Although she insisted that she knew nothing, she could still make excuses by pretending to be a lost child.

However, this is not what Shiho Miyano wants.

She took a deep breath, and when her sister's face reappeared in her mind, Miyano Shiho gritted her teeth and her expression became firm.

"I know you, Miss Hiratsuka Shizuka."

"My name is Miyano Shiho."

"Like Kudo Shinichi, I also took the medicine that makes me smaller."

Chapter 289 Are they so confident?

"Whoo~"

After a long sigh, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head and looked at Dr. Agasa.

They were somewhat surprised, but because both of them had some guesses about this, when they heard Miyano Shiho say this in person, although they were a little surprised at Miyano Shiho's straightforwardness, they did not feel anything was wrong.

"Then why did you faint at Shinichi's doorstep?" Sitting on the edge of the bed, Shizuka Hiratsuka closed the distance between herself and Miyano Shiho, looking down at the little girl, her eyes full of seriousness and scrutiny.

"There must be a lot you want to know, Miss Hiratsuka." Miyano Shiho raised her head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with her current height and sight. Although she was in an unfamiliar place, the expression on her face remained indifferent and calm.

"That's right, there are so many that I don't know where to start asking." Looking at Miyano Shiho's somewhat obscure cooperation, Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked, somewhat confused about what she was thinking.

"Then let me explain slowly. To show my sincerity, I will tell you everything I know. If you have any questions during the process, I will answer them as long as I can."

"Very good, your attitude is more cooperative than I expected." A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, but Shizuka Hiratsuka also smiled.

No matter what, it was great that the other party was willing to speak out himself. Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was confident that she would not show mercy to those marked as enemies, if she really had to interrogate a girl who looked like she had just started elementary school, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that she was not that cruel.

Maybe it will take two days to prepare mentally.

"First, let me introduce myself." Sitting up slightly, Miyano Shiho looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of her seriously.

She was able to determine who was the dominant one among the two people in front of her. If she wanted to gain a living space here, she had to show an attitude that would satisfy the other party.

"My name is Miyano Shiho, my code name in the organization is Shirley, and I'm the scientist responsible for developing APTX4869."

"APTX4869?" With her eyes slightly widened, Shizuka Hiratsuka stared closely at Shiho Miyano in front of her. Even Dr. Agasa behind her couldn't help but step forward and stand beside Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Yes, it's the drug that made me, that high school detective, and Kudo Shinichi all shrink." Miyano Shiho nodded slightly with a self-deprecating, resentful, helpless and lonely smile on her lips.

. . .

"How about it, Xiaojing, do you think what she said is credible?"

Looking at the bed on the other side where the light had dimmed, Dr. Agasa walked around and sat down on the sofa in the living room, scratching his bald head and asked in a probing tone.

"What do you think, Doctor?" With her hands in her trouser pockets, Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned on the armrest of the sofa, but her eyes vaguely glanced at Shiho Miyano, who became tired and fell asleep again after nearly an hour of questioning.

"I, I think I can believe it. After all, I have listened carefully for such a long time, and she doesn't seem to be making up stories." His eyes were a little subtle. Although it was late at night, the doctor who often stayed up late did not feel sleepy at all.

"Yeah, I have the same feeling, but this is what makes me feel strange." Sighing slowly, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her somewhat stiff neck, making a crackling sound.

"Because her biological sister was killed by the organization, she didn't want to continue working for the organization. With the determination to die, she took the medicine to shrink and escape. The first person she thought of was Shinichi, who might be in the same situation." Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little helpless.

She was not good at analyzing such things, and just used her intuition to judge whether Miyano Shiho was deceiving her.

"According to what she said, she's a very important scientist in that organization. She led the development of the drug called AP...something called 9."

"It's APTX4869." With the rigor of a scientist, Dr. Agasa had already noted down the name of the drug during the conversation.

"Yes, it's that drug. Since she was the one who led the development of that drug, why would that organization ignore her and kill her sister? I don't believe they didn't consider the consequences of doing so. Are they so confident that they can kill someone and get away with it?"

"I don't know. Maybe that organization is very confident in its internal management." Shaking his head slightly, Dr. Agasa said that his understanding of that organization was not as good as Shinichi and Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"But it was precisely because of this confidence that they were careless and allowed us to meet this little girl named Miyano Shiho, wasn't it?"

"Little girl." Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the bed in the distance with a subtle look in her eyes and had to admit that there were indeed many geniuses in this world.

Although he is about the same age as Shinichi, he is already a scientist who can conduct drug research. He thinks that at this time he is still in the village and fighting with his master on different hills, fighting black bears and wild beasts.

Emmmm, if I think about it this way, it seems that I am not a normal person either.

"So, how should we deal with this?" Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka fell silent again, Dr. Agasa blinked and asked softly.

"Wait until dawn and call Shinichi. After all, it's an organization matter and he has the right to know." Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka became calm.

All I have to do is make sure that Miyano Shiho is harmless in the short term, and leave the rest to those with better brains.

"Okay." Dr. Agasa nodded slightly and looked at the clock in his living room.

"It's this late, Xiaojing, why don't you just stay here with me for the night? It shouldn't be a problem for you to go to work tomorrow, right?"

"Well, three hours of sleep is enough for me. I have left the lesson plans and other things in the office, so it's easy." With her hands behind her head, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched her body lazily.

"Tomorrow afternoon after school, I'll bring Shinichi over and we'll talk about this matter in detail."

"Alright."

. . .

"...You mean, you want to go to school?" Although she only slept for three hours, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, was very good at regulating her physical condition and got up early the next day.

I went out to the breakfast shop to buy some breakfast. When I asked the doctor to wash his face, I saw the little girl who had woken up and was sitting on the bed motionless, looking a little silly.

There was no hostile thought. In Shizuka Hiratsuka's view, Miyano Shiho was their current ally, so it was only right to take care of her.

Well, the main reason is that Miyano Shiho looks too young now, which makes people worry.

What Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't expect was that when they had almost finished washing up and sat at the dining table to eat, Miyano Shiho, who had remained silent all the time, suddenly made a request to her.

"Yes, to be exact, I want to go to the school where the shrunk Kudo Shinichi is now."

Without any wavering in her eyes, Miyano Shiho looked straight at Hiratsuka Shizuka and calmly stated her request.

Chapter 290 Erba Si really trusts me.

"Hey~"

Conan sat in his seat with one hand supporting his chin, looking at the elementary school students around him who were full of energy early in the morning and felt a little dazed.

Why, why am I in primary school?

Ah, it turns out that I am just an elementary school student now.

Once again confirming his current identity in a trance, Conan's already listless expression became even more melancholy.

"Conan, Conan, have you heard that a new student will be transferring to our class today!~" Just as Conan was bored and dazed, a lively voice sounded from the side.

Subconsciously turning his head, Conan saw the three 'close friends' he met after coming to this elementary school.

"It seems like this is the first time our class has a new transfer student since Conan came. I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"

"I hope it's a cute girl~"
