Hearing a 'bang' as a gun fired, Conan looked at Ai, secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
She actually fired a gun!
That bullet was only about ten centimeters from that person's head, what exactly is she doing!
'So cool!' Ayumi hid behind Conan, looking at Haibara, her eyes full of little stars.
'Haibara is so amazing...' Genta suddenly felt that this new classmate wasn't so annoying anymore.
'Yeah, that was really cool!' Mitsuhiko also nodded along.
Conan: ...
From the sound of it, do you guys also want to try firing a shot?
The situation on the scene was completely intimidated by the shot Ai fired.
Tsuneo stepped forward and gave each of the three remaining accomplices a big slap.
Even the old man with bandages wrapped around his arm wasn't spared.
This old man was originally the group's painter, and because his arm was injured, he used sweet words to trick Nakata's brother out.
The three of them, with swollen faces, their hands clasped over their heads, looked aggrieved as they crouched by the window, timidly looking at Tsuneo, who was holding a wrench.
Conan walked over and carefully checked the state of the woman in black; finding that she wasn't dead, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Though he was ruthless, Tsuneo still knew how to hold back.
Well, at least when he wasn't wearing that black suit, that was the case...
Conan carefully took the handgun from Ai, whose face was cold, and put it aside.
Seriously, this is a bit too fantastical, where did a first-grader learn to use a handgun from...
'You'd better honestly confess everything about that Organization now!' Conan walked over to the three accomplices crouching by the wall and said with a scrutinizing gaze.
Tsuneo and Ai both turned their heads to look at this Detective.
Naive fellow...
As expected, the three of them knew nothing.
The Organization's leader?
Isn't the leader the one whose head you guys smashed and is now lying on the ground!
The Organization's purpose?
The purpose is to print money!
The Organization's lair?
Isn't it just this newspaper office?
Does this kid have some serious illness???
Conan frowned and looked at the woman in black lying on the ground.
Are these guys just small fries you picked up from anywhere?
...
The busy Inspector Megure soon received Tsuneo's call and rushed over.
'We finally caught this woman, and this time, it's all thanks to your help, Tsuneo!' Inspector Megure smiled and greeted Tsuneo.
He instructed his subordinates to follow the ambulance to the hospital and keep a close watch on the woman in black on the ground.
'Glad I could help.' Tsuneo nodded and subconsciously hid the wrench in his hand behind him.
'Inspector Megure, do you know her?' Conan asked curiously.
From Inspector Megure's tone, it seemed the police knew something?
'Yes, this woman is a habitual counterfeiter, known as Silver Fox.'
'Although she had some plastic surgery and her face is covered in blood, I would never mistake her.' Inspector Megure briefly introduced the identity of the woman in black to everyone.
'...' Conan finally realized that he might have been chasing the wrong person, and an astonished expression appeared on his face.
'This time, this Silver Fox not only committed kidnapping but also violated the firearms and ammunition control regulations, so don't expect her to get out of jail easily.'
Inspector Megure said, picking up the shell casings in the room, and asked the three remaining accomplices, 'Who fired this gun!'
This had to be clarified; whether a gun was fired or not would make some difference in conviction and sentencing.
The slightly chubby accomplice who had been threatened by Ai earlier reached out his hand and tremblingly pointed at the little girl standing quietly to the side.
'What!'
Inspector Megure was startled, ran in front of Ai, bent down, and said loudly, 'How could you do something so dangerous!'
'But...'
'But...'
Ai's eyes filled with tears, she sobbed twice, and immediately burst into tears.
'Waaah~'
She covered her eyes with her hands, and her crying grew louder and louder.
Tsuneo: ...
Three accomplices: ...
Conan: As expected, she's still just a girl...
Inspector Megure, seeing that he had scared the child into crying, felt apologetic and immediately put on a smiling face, 'I'm sorry, it's Uncle's fault, please don't cry, okay?'
Seeing that the child didn't seem like she would be consoled anytime soon, Inspector Megure still had things to attend to, so he could only instruct Tsuneo to help persuade her.
'Tsuneo, next time, please be more careful and don't let children come into contact with such dangerous things.'
'Alright, alright, I understand.' Tsuneo replied with a perfunctory nod.
By the way, when can I finally eat...
...
The Emperor Dan Trio and that pair of brothers took a Police car home.
Tsuneo drove Conan and Ai towards Dr. Agasa's home, speeding all the way.
'Wait for me in the car for a moment.'
Tsuneo said, got out of the car, and walked into the convenience store by the roadside.
There wasn't much food at home, and this store happened to have a discount, so he bought some on the way.
'It's alright now, don't cry anymore.' Conan, in a tone befitting his age, comforted Ai, who was still sobbing beside him.
Seriously, that Tsuneo watched someone cry the whole way without saying a single word.
This kind of thing always ends up falling on my shoulders...
Ai's lips suddenly curved into a smile.
'APTX4869, you should know what this is, right?'
Conan turned his head and frowned.
APTX4869...
So familiar.
'You!' Conan suddenly remembered that he had once at Mihua Hotel asked Tsuneo three questions.
The second question was about the drug he had ingested.
It was APTX4869!
'It seems you already know.' Ai took her small hands away from her eyes and regained her calm expression.
'Who exactly are you!' Conan's face showed alarm.
Ai looked out the window and said calmly:
'Like you, I also took that drug, and under the accidental effect of the cellular self-destruction program, it caused all cells outside of the nervous tissue, such as bones, muscles, internal organs, and even hair, to regress to their infantile stage of growth.'
'Heh heh, this is a mysterious poison.'
'Hai, Haibara...' Conan still couldn't quite believe all of this.
'My name isn't Haibara.'
Ai's lips curved into a smile, she hooked a finger through the short hair covering the side of her face, turned her head, and looked at the Detective.
'Sherry.'
'This is my codename.'
'I finally found you, Kudo Shinichi!'
'You're from the Black Organization?' Because he heard his own name, Conan's level of shock soared to a new height.
'The Repairman outside who's buying things at the convenience store, Gin should be very interested in him, shouldn't he?'
'And the genius scientist who provides you with various gadgets, as well as the woman who betrayed the Organization and is currently living at his house.'
Ai's expression, in the dim car, gradually became gloomy and terrifying.
