Stay away from Conan

Chapter 672 The shadow approaching Xiao Ai

"Haihara-san, the guinea pig in the breeding hut gave birth to a baby, did you know?"

On the day Gao Yuan and Conan went to Moon Shadow Island, Xiao Ai and several members of the Youth Detective Team went out to the bookstore together. Yoshida Ayumi suddenly mentioned this matter to Xiao Ai——

"Of course I know. It's been almost two weeks, hasn't it?"

In this regard, Xiao Ai said calmly.

"That's right! Haibara-san, when it comes to this matter, there is something very strange!"

When Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko heard Ayumi talking about this, he immediately remembered something and said to Xiao Ai.

"What do you mean by weird?"

Although it felt like this was probably just a boring topic among children, Xiao Ai still responded.

"At first, there were only two baby mice, but the next day, there was one more baby mouse, making a total of three baby mice!"

Mitsuhiko seemed to feel very weird as he spoke, and said in a tone that sounded like he was telling a horror story:

"But! Father Rat is missing!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai lowered his head silently, as if in mourning, and then replied calmly:

"Probably because the father mouse died, the teacher secretly disposed of it. The extra one was probably born the next day."

"No! The strange thing is that it's not here!"

In response, Mitsuhiko said in surprise:

"It is said that the last guinea pig born looked exactly like the father mouse when he grew up. His fur was all white, and one of his ears was only half-length!"

"Due to genetics, it's normal for mice to look like their father."

Xiao Ai said indifferently.

"That's not true! Because Father Rat's ears were bitten off by a wild cat before! From a scientific point of view, it is impossible for even the broken ears to be exactly the same!"

Mitsuhiko said seriously.

"So everyone says it's Daddy Mouse who's getting smaller."

Speaking of this, Ayumi also followed up.

"Become...become smaller..."

When Xiao Ai heard the word "get smaller", she couldn't help but be startled, and her mind immediately thought of the situation between herself and Conan -

Is it possible...

Subconsciously, Xiao Ai thought of "APTX4869", but after thinking about it further, she felt that this was unlikely——

"How could something like that happen? It should just be a baby mouse that looks just like its father. When it was growing up, its ears were injured for some reason. After all, young lives are very fragile."

In this regard, Xiao Ai felt a little guilty and said:

"You know it if you think about it, how can an adult turn back into a child?"

"That's right, it's not a dream."

Kojima Mota couldn't help but wonder.

"That's right... what Haihara-san said makes sense!"

Listening to Xiao Ai's words, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi said in agreement.

In this way, the topic was quickly ended, and then everyone went to the bookstore. Then, curious about the fortune teller, Xiao Ai and others went to the shopping street to find the fortune teller...

However, having said that, Xiao Ai still felt a little strange about what happened in the school's breeding hut——

If, as the children said, the guinea pig is really the version of the father rat after he became smaller, then it is most likely that this guinea pig was artificially fed the trial work of "APTX4869" just like his original experiment.

And the people who can do this, possess this kind of drug, can only be members of the organization!

But if you think about it carefully, if this matter really has anything to do with the organization, then it shouldn't be about attacking the guinea pigs in the breeding hut, right?

Assuming that the organization has indeed confirmed through many use experiments that "APTX4869" has the function of making people smaller, and thus determines the method of escaping from the organization, and begins to change the target of the investigation and start investigating the elementary school, then The whole thing doesn’t make sense!

After all, now that Didan Elementary School has been found, since he has lived in the organization since he was a child, the organization can definitely get the photos of his childhood.

As long as the people in the organization want to find themselves in Didan Elementary School by comparing photos...

But until now, I haven't felt any trace of the organization around me...

So, is it just that you are unfounded?

However, the faint uneasiness still made Xiao Ai hesitate. Therefore, with a bit of expectation, Xiao Ai ended up like Bumei and the others, and had a fortune telling at the fortune teller to see what the result would be.

However, in the end, it was only confirmed that the so-called accurate fortune teller was just a liar, so there was no need to think too much about it to scare himself.

With this in mind, when Gao Yuan asked why she went back to tell fortunes, Xiao Ai responded lightly, and Gao Yuan did not ask any more questions...

…

The next day, after Xiao Ai went to school.

Due to Chengzuka Jade's request, Gao Yuan finally agreed to help her home install a set of security monitoring equipment. So that day, Gao Yuan, who had nothing to do, came to Chengzuka Jade's house, preparing to discuss the layout of the line with her first -

It has to be said that Gao Yuan is short-handed and is asked by Akechi Kengo to take care of this quirky junior high school girl. As a guardian, Gao Yuan is still willing to help with such a simple task.

Moreover, you don’t need to spend any money to purchase the equipment.

Therefore, after arriving at Shirozuka Jade's house, Shirozuka Jade, who was home on leave and wearing a snow-white dress, went out to greet him enthusiastically and welcomed Gao Yuan in the door——

"Ah! Mr. Gao Yuan is true to his word. I really love you to death!"

After entering the door, Shirozuka Jade with a bright smile said happily, and when he was about to step forward to hold Gao Yuan's arm, Gao Yuan felt helpless and pressed Shirozuka Jade's forehead with one hand, relying on the difference in arm span, he held Gao Yuan's arm. She stopped at arm's length——

"Shirozuka Hisui-kun, I won't help you if you're like this!"

"Well--"

In response, with puffed lips and a little disappointed, Shirozuka Jade could only nodded silently, and then brought Gao Yuan to the empty living room. The two sat on the sofa, face to face, and began to discuss Shirozuka Jade. need--

"It needs to be concealed, and then put on eavesdropping devices. After entering through the door of this apartment, on the elevator, and in the corridor in front of my house, as long as people who come to me for consultation will pass by, install them in all places! This way Come……"

"In this case, aren't you just learning the fortune teller's methods?"

Hearing Shirozuka Jade's requests one after another, Gao Yuan immediately understood her intention, and then asked:

"By using this method to understand the situation of the person who comes for consultation in advance, it is to make you better 'defraud', right?"

"Well - what does this have to do with it! I'm not here to do bad things! Maybe I can catch criminals for this!"

Shirozuka Jade retorted somewhat helplessly to Gao Yuan's attitude:

"And I've made so many contributions to society..."

"Stop! Have you made so many contributions to society?"

After blinking, Gao Yuan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, a little surprised that she could actually say such words——

"Isn't it? If it weren't for me, the police would still be in the process of catching up on those three incidents of girls being mutilated!"

Muttering, Shirozuka Jade pursed his lips and said:

"Besides, my job is to use a 'spiritual medium' to help people solve their problems, which can be regarded as helping others!"

Saying that, Chengzhong Jade suddenly asked:

"By the way! Mr. Gao Yuan, have you asked Xiao Ai what troubles she has recently?"

…

At the same time, in Didan Primary School.

After school, Xiao Ai was opening her shoe cabinet, preparing to change into indoor shoes and go home after school.

But just after Xiao Ai opened the door of the shoe cabinet, Xiao Ai immediately noticed that there was a letter placed on her shoes in her shoe cabinet.

In response to this, Xiao Ai, who thought it was probably a child's prank, casually took out the letter, opened it and read it casually. Then, after seeing the words above, Xiao Ai's pupils were stunned, and she was stunned. Stunned on the spot——

Because, the name written at the beginning of this letter is——

"Shirley"!
