Aizen took over Haibara Ai's words and said, "After I brought Ai back, Masami recognized her. I didn't expect that the two of them would be cousins. It's quite a coincidence."
Haibara Ai said, "My cousin is different from my sister and me. She didn't join the organization, nor was she discovered by the organization, so she has been living an ordinary life. We have never met. If I didn't look exactly the same as I did when I was a child, my cousin wouldn't dare to recognize me. Conan, my cousin doesn't know about my sister and me. You are not allowed to tell my cousin about us, understand?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell Masami."
Conan nodded and agreed. When it comes to that organization, the fewer people who know, the better. The more people know, the more dangerous it is. He didn't want to bring danger to Hirota Masami.
Aizen walked up to Conan at this time, reached out and rubbed Conan's head and said, "Come to think of it, Conan, I didn't expect that you are Kudo Shinichi. I was wondering how a child could be so smart. We talked about it before, but you didn't tell me that you were Kudo Shinichi. It seems that you don't trust me very much."
Conan slapped Aizen's hand away, rolled his eyes and said, "Aizen, before talking about others, shouldn't you think about yourself? You didn't tell me the truth and concealed your identity and purpose. Why should I be honest with you? To tell you the truth, before today, I always suspected that you were a member of that organization."
Aizen smiled indifferently and asked, "Do you still think I am a member of that organization now?"
Conan looked at him and Huibara Ai and said, "I don't think so now. If you really are a member of that organization, then you would definitely bring Huibara and me back to the organization directly. As for the possibility of having other purposes, I really don't know what purpose you could have for not taking us back, so this possibility is almost impossible."
"That's a correct judgment."
Aizen nodded and said to Conan, "Conan, I can't tell you my true identity yet. All I can tell you is that I'm on the government's side, but I'm not responsible for targeting that organization, which is why I've done nothing so far."
"On the government's side?"
Conan was stunned. Then he asked, "Are you from the Ministry of Public Security or the Self-Defense Forces?"
Aizen shook his head and smiled, but didn't answer. In reality, he was just trying to trick Conan. Aizen's identity had nothing to do with the Japanese government. But if he really wanted to, it's not impossible to get one; it just depends on whether he needs it.
Seeing this, Conan had to give up. Since his identity was no longer a secret to Aizen, he trusted him a little more. However, because Aizen hadn't revealed his hidden identity until now, he was still a little wary of him, a common trait among detectives.
Looking at Haibara Ai, Conan said, "Haibara, since you're the inventor of APTX4869, you must have an antidote, right?" He looked at her with hope. He desperately wanted to turn back into Kudo Shinichi. Not only was it inconvenient to be a child, but he also wanted to be in front of Mouri Ran and stop her worrying.
Haibara Ai shook her head and said, "No, I don't have an antidote."
"How is that possible?!"
Conan said in a high-pitched voice, incredulous. "You're the inventor of the drug, how could you not have an antidote?"
Haibara Ai said calmly, "All the research data on the drug is at the research institute. It's so vast, how could I possibly remember it all?"
"Damn it!"
Conan was very unwilling to accept this and hurriedly said, "Then tell me, where is that research institute?"
Aizen heard this and said, "Conan, do you still want to be a hero like you did today? To put it bluntly, if you dare to go to that research institute alone, you can just wait to be killed or caught."
"I never thought about going alone."
Conan retorted. In fact, his first thought was to go alone, but then he thought it was too dangerous, so he decided to tell his father after he knew the location of the research institute and let his father contact the Metropolitan Police Department.
"But Aizen, how did you know what happened today?"
Conan looked at Aizen with a puzzled look. Since returning, he has been with Haibara Ai. Haibara Ai didn't have time to tell Aizen what happened today. It makes sense that Aizen didn't know...
Aizen said: "Ai went to school for the first time today. Masami was a little worried, so I asked a friend to protect her in secret. Before you came back, he called to tell me what happened."
"Hey, this is the location of the research institute you want to know about."
Haibara Ai handed Conan a newspaper.
Conan took it and looked at it. The most conspicuous part of the newspaper was a report of a fire.
Haibara Ai said, "The reason for this is that the organization was worried that I would reveal the location of the research institute, so they took the initiative and gave up that place. So, even if you go there, all you will see is ruins. And now, I have no idea where the organization's base and research institute will be."
"Damn, so cautious!"
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Conan was annoyed. That organization was too cautious. It was too difficult to deal with such a cautious organization, not to mention that the organization had armed forces strong enough to confront the Metropolitan Police Department.
Ai Haibara said thoughtfully, "I think it's not just this institute. I think any organization connected to me would be facing a similar fate."
"In that case..."
Ai Haibara nodded, smiling. "They definitely don't know I've turned into a child, so they're frantically searching for me, wasting a lot of manpower and resources. But if the organization uses this poison again, it's inevitable that others will turn into children like us. By then, based on my childhood appearance, they'll find me sooner or later."
"Don't despair. We need to eliminate this organization before they discover this, or before they find you,"
Aizen said. He didn't want Conan and Ai Haibara to despair; that would be boring. Conan was fine; Aizen believed in Conan's fighting spirit, but Ai Haibara was a bit more difficult to say. He'd already told her her sister wasn't dead. Aizen didn't want her to live in fear.
