"Send this boy back to the Maori Detective Agency first. He is not suitable for attending tonight's meeting..."
"Originally, Xiaolan was going to hide in the trunk of Teacher Judy's car and come to the same place together, but I stopped her."
"I just let her wait at home with peace of mind...even if she breaks into the confrontation between the two parties, nothing will happen...because Belmore will definitely ensure her safety."
Yuan Huaiyu was talking to himself as if he was driving.
Hui Yuan Ai sat next to him, turning her head and looking out the window.
Conan, who was lying in the back seat, was still in a coma, so Yuan Huaiyu had to say with emotion that it was indeed ALi technology, and the effect was outstanding.
"Why did that woman do that?"
After a long time, Haiyuan Ai's subtle voice came from the passenger seat.
"Then this is about what happened in New York a year ago."
Yuan Huaiyu spoke slowly: "A year ago, Bellmore disguised himself as a silver-haired murderer and wanted to take the opportunity to kill Akai Shuichi, your sister's ex-boyfriend, Morohoshi."
"Of course she failed in the end. Shuichi Akai is not someone who can be easily dealt with, let alone in his home base of New York, USA."
"When she was hiding to avoid being surrounded by the FBI, she happened to meet Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. They were traveling in the United States at the time."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled and shook his head: "Sometimes, fate is so strange. Belmore originally wanted to kill the two of them, but accidentally almost fell from a tall building..."
"In the end, Belmore was held by these two men, so he did not fall down and die... From then on, Belmore regarded the two of them as a beam of light in his life."
"That's why on the bus, she pretended to be a new doctor and stood up in front of Conan. It's the same reason she had to move this guy away before attacking you."
Yuan Huaiyu explained the inside story and soon and unknowingly arrived at the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency where the lights were on.
Hui Yuan Ai turned her head slightly, watching Yuan Huaiyu get out of the car, open the door of the back seat, groped around Conan's body, and pulled out a bunch of instruments.
"This is an eavesdropping device. It is connected to his heartbeat. Once the mechanism is triggered, the recording file will be transmitted. Gee, this guy has too many evil thoughts..."
Yuan Huaiyu had learned about the solution to this device a long time ago from his communication with Dr. A Li, and he found the hidden lifting device after a few attempts.
Putting these devices in the car, he sent Conan to the Maori Detective Agency and quickly returned to the car.
Now there were only two people left in the car, Yuan Huaiyu and Haiyuan Ai, and the atmosphere became more subtle and weird than before.
Huiyuan Ai knew that their destination was Yuanhuaiyu's house, but she suddenly felt strange and scared about this place that she was once quite familiar with and considered half of her home.
The suspicion of Yuan Huaiyu and the trust she had built up over this long period of time together were like ice and fire, constantly clashing fiercely in her heart.
She didn't know how to face this man at all.
Therefore, Haiyuan Ai chose to remain silent. Even if he wanted to say something, he would try to avoid the most critical and core issue.
——That was the man with the blank mask who killed her sister.
[Anyway, everything will be revealed tonight, so there is no rush to know all the truth now...]
She knew she was escaping, but she would still use such reasons to numb herself.
Because ever since she met Yuan Huaiyu, she could feel a long-lost warmth from this person. Just like a drowning person longing for the air on the water, she was also a little greedy for this feeling.
[If the truth is too cruel, I can at least choose to hear it later...]
Just like that, with complicated emotions, the time on the road seemed to be just a moment, and she finally saw the familiar small villa.
As if facing a trial, Hui Yuan Ai followed Yuan Huaiyu and walked into the villa with extremely heavy steps.
"Take a rest. The person you want to see won't come yet, so I guess you'll have to wait for a while."
Yuan Huaiyu took off his dirty coat and held it in his hand. He pointed at his torn trousers and motioned for him to change clothes first.
Hui Yuan Ai sat down on the sofa in a daze, and subconsciously reached out to the coffee table next to her.
It wasn't until she felt the familiar touch of a fashion magazine in her hand that she suddenly realized, her body stiffened, and she realized that she had almost formed countless subtle habits in this home.
She numbly picked up a magazine and flipped through it, but she didn't read a single bit of the text on it.
There were footsteps on the stairs, and her body trembled slightly, looking in that direction like a frightened little rabbit.
Yuan Huaiyu had already changed into a pair of close-fitting casual clothes. After coming down the stairs, he went straight to the storage room next to the kitchen, took a bottle of wine and a bottle of juice from it, and walked to the living room.
""I always think about what to drink on such an important day today. You are considered a minor now, so you'd better not drink. Just drink some juice."
He picked up Hui Yuan Ai's cup and poured her a glass of juice. He also told her, "By the way, remember to brush your teeth at night."
However, Hui Yuan Ai's attention was completely focused on the bottle of wine that Yuan Huaiyu put aside.
【Sherry】
Sherry is also her code name in the organization.
Yuan Huaiyu poured himself a glass of amber wine, leaned on the sofa with the glass in hand, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Haiyuan Ai drank the juice one sip after another, and also looked ahead, lost in thought.
Time seems to pass quickly, and it seems to be extremely long.
"Kacha..."
I don't know how long it took, but the door of the villa was opened from the outside. Hui Yuan Ai, who was in a daze, suddenly looked at the door.
A man wearing a black men's suit and a mask on his face walked in from outside.
This mask is a human face without facial features, except for two tiny slits where the eyes are.
"Come back?" Yuan Huaiyu opened his eyes and turned to look at the person.
"Back. As expected, a crime occurred at the party. The ghost ship spent some time evading the police after returning."
The faceless man walked to the sofa, his eyes instantly fixed on Haiyuan Ai's body, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting there, looked in disbelief at the scary-looking man in front of him. As soon as he let go of his hand, the glass in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
But she had no intention of caring about this anymore.
This familiar voice seemed to make her soul start to tremble, her heart beat violently, and her vision blurred.
"elder sister?"
Haiyuan Ai murmured.
The faceless man raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face. The pretty face under the mask was already full of tears.
