"Teacher Toya, my uncle was in a car accident and was hospitalized. I just received a call. I have to go see him!"
"Your uncle had a car accident - eh? Conan! Wait a minute -!"
Mihua, Didan Primary School, gate.
Conan, who acted first and played later, stepped directly onto the solar skateboard. Before the returning female teacher had time to ask what was going on, the figure in the blue suit had already slipped away on the skateboard!
"Conan!"
It is true that she has already gone through the resignation procedures, but Teacher Toya, who is still employed at the moment, cannot help but feel worried. She is very worried that Conan is a little kid.
I hurriedly returned to the office, opened the parent contact book, and dialed the number written on it——
"Hello? Hello, is this Mr. Mouri Kogoro? I am Toya. I would like to ask about Conan's family affairs. He just said that his uncle had a car accident..."
In the Moori Detective Agency, there were many beer cans on the table. Moori Kogoro was holding the receiver of his landline phone with one hand. He was still half asleep. After hearing this, he suddenly became furious. He reached out and pulled off the tie tied to his head.
tie, furious: "What car accident?! When did I have a car accident?! How could I not know that I had a car accident?!
"Don't worry, Mr. Toya, I'll let that brat Conan go back to school right now - hiccup~"
A drunken blush stained Mouri Kogoro's decadent cheeks. With Okino Yoko's latest single playing in the background on the TV, he was so drunk that he had a double image in front of his eyes when he made a phone call -
"Hello? Uncle Maori?"
"You brat! Where are you going?! Are you trying to skip school? I told you that you are still alive and kicking. Why did you get into a car accident?! Go back to school!"
Conan, who was speeding towards Miwa Central Hospital on a skateboard through a small road, had just answered the phone when he caught up with him and cursed him head-on. He was stunned for a moment.
Just a car——
Immediately, Conan, who reacted quickly, slapped his forehead, bared his teeth and shook his head: "Uncle Maori, I'm not talking about you, but Dr. A Li. Dr. A Li was hospitalized in a car accident."
Dr. A Li's appearance is indeed a little anxious, which makes him act like an old and strong grandfather even though he is obviously an uncle.
"Dr. Agasa?"
"I won't tell you, uncle. I'm almost at the hospital. I'll go back to school after visiting Dr. A Li."
Conan, who heard that Mouri Kogoro was obviously drunk, hung up the phone decisively. He recalled in his mind what Katsumi Uehara said on the phone before, and his face became extremely solemn.
Is he another victim of a black organization, or a victim who had the same experience as him...
More than ten minutes later, the solar skateboard with full power arrived at the gate of Mihua Central Hospital. Under the surprised eyes of passers-by, Conan picked up the skateboard and sprinted for 100 meters. His anxious expression was visible to the naked eye.
"Uehara! I'm here—"
After coming to the door directly based on the address given by Uehara Katsumi, Conan pushed open the door of the ward and gasped. The sight that greeted him made him freeze in place for a moment——
In this ward, there are not only Katsumi Uehara, but also other people?!
"Officer Sato?!"
"Conan?!"
Sato Miwako, who had been taking notes for Miyano Shiho, opened her eyes in surprise when she saw the figure standing at the door. She turned to look at her partner who was raising her hand to greet the child, and said in disbelief:
"Wait a minute Uehara, could the other child you are talking about be Conan?!"
——?!
What's going on?!
The horrified Conan kept blinking at Katsuki Hara, and everyone could clearly see the meaning in his eyes.
"Introducing, aptx-4869 victim high school detective Kudo Shinichi is now a primary school student at Tedan Elementary School."
After stepping forward and dragging Conan into the ward, Uehara Katsumi, who closed the door and pushed him in front of him, acted as an introducer with a smile, and raised his eyes to the girl on the hospital bed: "Now, let's talk."
"????"
Conan, who was called over, was still a little confused: "Wait a minute Uehara, you——"
"The girl on the hospital bed is the researcher who was discovered by you and Kogoro Mori near the Mori Detective Agency. Her name is Miyano Shiho."
"That's not what I meant."
"Sato knows it's okay. She has already seen Miyano Shiho's situation. Naturally, your situation must be clear too. It will also be convenient for you to cover for you in the future, right?"
Facing Conan, who was on the verge of explosion almost instantly, Katsuki Uehara pointed to himself and Miwako Sato concisely: "And this is also Miss Miyano Shiho's request. She seems to have known that you have become smaller.
, but did not tell the organization this secret."
The named Miyano Shiho didn't say anything about this. He sat on the bedside and observed this "similar person" whose chest was still heaving with indifferent eyes.
"Know that I'm getting smaller? Do you know me?"
Deliberately ignoring Sato Miwako's eyes full of surprise and curiosity, Conan stared at the girl sitting on the bed with a solemn expression and said warily.
He didn't remember that he had ever met a person named Miyano Shiho.
"aptx-4869."
"What?"
"The drug that will make you smaller is codenamed aptx-4869 within the organization." Sitting on the hospital bed, Miyano Shiho looked condescendingly at Conan, his tone without any emotion.
"She did it, she is the inventor, if this transcript does not lie." Katsuki Uehara, who pulled over a bench and sat down, added with a smile: "Now she has become smaller after defecting from the organization, and she can't find a place.
Stay here and prepare to defect to you."
——?!
Conan's face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said sharply: "Are you kidding me!"
"I have the ability to create antidotes." As if he had expected Conan's attitude, Miyano Shiho set out his own conditions, and then glanced at Katsumi Uehara aside, as if to test him: "As long as the information is enough,
.”
"..."
Conan, who was just about to unleash his firepower, suddenly lost his temper. His breath was stuck in his throat, and he was obviously choked.
Katsuki Uehara, who only had a handful of melon seeds in his hand, crossed his legs and looked back and forth at the tense atmosphere between the two people as if he were sitting in the VIP audience seats. His eyes were filled with amusement, and he was very fond of Miyano Shiho.
Turn a blind eye to the temptation of nothing.
Miwako Sato, who put away the notebook, was a little surprised by her partner's attitude of slacking off as if watching a drama. However, considering that today's scene completely subverted her world view, she still held back and said nothing.
She had too many doubts in her heart, but now was obviously not the time to help her answer them.
