Conan slowly turned his head, looking in horror at the tall figure in the convenience store, leisurely eating ice cream while waiting in line to pay.
Even the name Gin was mentioned.
The Sherry before him was undoubtedly a member of the Black Organization.
Mr. Tsuneo, where did you get this job of taking a child home?
"What do you want to do to them!" Conan flipped his wrist, revealing his watch, and stared warily at Ai.
His identity had been exposed, and with the Organization's modus operandi...
Dr. Agasa, Akemi, and Mr. Tsuneo would all likely be in danger.
Ai pulled a fashion magazine from her backpack, looking at it expressionlessly, ignoring the Detective beside her, showing no intention of answering the question.
"You!"
Conan was about to say more when the driver's side door was pulled open by Mr. Tsuneo.
"What are you two discussing?"
Mr. Tsuneo reached out, helped the Detective close his watch cover, and asked curiously.
"She…"
Conan pointed at Ai, about to say something.
Ai nodded, closed the magazine in her hand, and said, "As you said, he's a very interesting subject for observation."
"Right? If you're looking for a guinea pig, this kid is the most suitable," Mr. Tsuneo said, laughing as he vigorously ruffled Conan's head, who was still in a daze.
"You two?" Conan looked between the two of them.
Why did this scene feel a bit familiar?
"You haven't explained it clearly to him yet?" Mr. Tsuneo asked, tilting his head.
"I think he'll do something irrational," Ai glanced at the watch on a certain person's wrist and the shoes on his feet.
Mr. Tsuneo nodded, understanding what she was worried about. "Alright, then I'll tell him."
"First, the drug you took, called APTX4869, was formulated by her."
"Alright, alright, don't get excited."
Mr. Tsuneo intervened in time, calming the agitated Detective, and continued, "Her real name is Miyano Shiho."
"Miyano Shiho?" Conan finally quieted down when he heard this name.
Could it be that she was Akemi's younger sister?
"It wasn't within her control as a researcher that Gin and the others took that drug and used it as poison," Mr. Tsuneo explained.
In fact, whether or not there was APTX4869, if the Organization wanted someone dead, they wouldn't live for more than a few days.
"What are you writing?" Conan looked at the calm-faced Ai with a complex expression, then turned to notice Mr. Tsuneo writing something on the steering wheel, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
At this moment, how could you still have the leisure to write a letter to someone?
"I'm writing the answer to that cold joke," Mr. Tsuneo said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Now, not only Conan but even Ai was a bit curious.
"Don't you know about the new show on the radio?"
"Outdated," Mr. Tsuneo said, stuffing the letter into the envelope and sticking on a stamp.
"What's the prize?" Conan showed a speechless expression.
Various food photos appeared in his mind.
"An autographed photo," Mr. Tsuneo gave an unexpected answer.
"You don't seem like the type to do something like this." Ai could tell from the scent of Mr. Tsuneo's cologne that he was in close contact with many women every day.
"Are you falling for this radio host?"
Although Conan was still thinking about Miyano Shiho and the Organization, when it came to Mr. Tsuneo's romantic matters, his face couldn't help but show a scrutinizing expression.
"Hehehehe." Mr. Tsuneo turned to look at the two little ones.
He got out of the car and threw the letter into the mailbox next to the convenience store.
The red pickup truck drove all the way to Dr. Agasa's, and the atmosphere in the car was very oppressive.
Mr. Tsuneo didn't speak, and the other two also kept quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.
…
"Mr. Tsuneo." Akemi first greeted the Repairman, then looked at the two children behind him.
It seemed Conan already knew the truth.
Akemi saw that his expression wasn't very good and guessed most of it.
"Conan-kun, wait a moment."
Akemi softly called out to the Detective who had just entered the house.
Ai turned her head and glanced, but didn't speak, continuing to follow Mr. Tsuneo towards the dining table.
"Akemi." Conan knew that this older sister already knew his true identity, so he didn't pretend anymore.
"I'm sorry, my sister caused you trouble."
Akemi squatted down, subconsciously wanting to reach out and touch Conan's head, but after thinking about it, felt it wasn't quite right and put her hand down.
Conan looked down at his body, then suddenly smiled.
"You don't need to apologize to me."
"Because no matter what, I will uncover all the secrets of that Organization."
"I'm a Detective!"
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi, the High school student detective known as the savior of Japan's police, seemed to have returned.
Just as Mr. Tsuneo had told him, regardless of whether that drug existed, he would still have chosen to chase after them that day at the amusement park.
This was the instinct of a Detective.
Akemi looked at the confident smile on his face and suddenly felt a little dazed.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Tsuneo, holding his rice bowl, kicked the Detective's backside.
You're showing off without me, what kind of good brother are you?
If you have this ability, can you share some of these lines with me!
"You bastard." Conan stumbled, then turned back and glared fiercely at Mr. Tsuneo.
How long has it been since I could say something like that in front of someone who knows my identity?
"Heh heh." Mr. Tsuneo sneered, then returned to the dining table to continue eating.
Akemi saw this scene and felt a huge weight lift from her heart, finally revealing a smile.
"Oh, right, I also wanted to ask you, how is Shiho doing at school?"
Conan shook his head. She hadn't really shown much at school, but she was quite scary at the newspaper office...
Now that he thought about it.
The way she shot, it didn't look like a normal child.
Mainly, she cried so hard that she completely fooled him.
"Don't worry, I think she'll make new friends very soon," Conan clearly knew what this older sister was worried about, and immediately said with a smile to comfort her.
Genta and the others were now very much in awe of a certain person who had fired a gun.
He estimated they would soon start pestering her, just like they did with him back then...
"That's wonderful," Akemi nodded, smiling with relief.
"Akemi, do you perhaps know what radio station Mr. Tsuneo has been listening to recently?" Conan asked quietly, looking at Mr. Tsuneo's back at the dining table.
"Hmm, that radio station, I think there's a female host who often tells cold jokes." Akemi did know about this.
"What does she look like?" The fire of gossip in Conan's heart was burning brightly.
"She's quite pretty, I suppose. Has something happened?"
Akemi was a bit nervous, thinking another case had occurred.
"He…" Conan began to talk about Mr. Tsuneo writing letters to the radio station.
"Hahaha." Akemi laughed out loud, which was quite rare for her.
"I might know the truth about this!"
