At this time, the well-informed Mitsuhiko saw the bullet casings falling on the ground and was so frightened that he screamed.
Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, Conan shouted sharply.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move anything here. Call Officer Megure immediately and tell him that Haibara and an adult were attacked by an unknown gunman!"
"Gun, gunman?!"
The three little ones widened their eyes in surprise.
"Then Xiao Ai is in danger?"
Conan looked at the three people and calmly analyzed: "Based on the current situation at the scene, no one should be injured, but the gunman has not given up the pursuit..."
"After calling the police, you go to the school's security room and wait, and then come out after the police arrive."
Mitsuhiko immediately caught the essence of Conan's words and asked: "Conan, where are you going?"
Conan replied: "I'm going to find Haiyuan."
"Let's go too!" The three little ones looked prepared.
But Conan directly rejected the three of them this time, and his tough tone left no room for accommodation.
"Absolutely not!"
"Just wait for the police to come and tell them what's going on here!"
"The Detective Medal is still on the line. I may contact you at any time..."
After saying that, Conan ran towards the exit on the other side of the alley, leaving behind the three little ones looking at each other.
…
The sidewalk of a certain main street.
Among the bustling pedestrians, a young pink figure seemed inconspicuous.
Hui Yuan Ai dragged her tired body, covering her still throbbing chest with both hands, and walked forward aimlessly.
Although she had just escaped from the gunpoint of the organization's killer, she did not choose to join Conan and others again.
Because the organization sent a killer to kill him, and the target of the gun was clearly pointed at him, it means that his identity has been completely exposed.
Going back to look for Conan and the three little ones at this time will only drag them into the water.
Not only that, I can’t go back to my familiar home in Mihua 2-chome.
Now that his identity has been exposed, it means that the organization has fully grasped his situation during this period.
Including Dr. Ali’s home and Chengshi Hospital where I stayed during this period.
As for how her identity was exposed, Haihara Ai can probably guess it.
It should have been revealed by Belmode...
During the last train incident, Belmode sent a message to himself, asking him to take the initiative to deliver it.
But something happened in the middle of that time, and Belmod's plan failed to go as planned, and he himself survived by luck.
But this time, it was obvious that the other party was serious about it.
Once the organization's killers start hunting, they will never stop until they achieve their goals.
The only way for him to survive now is to change his identity and continue to live on the run.
But is this possible?
Without the help of others, I can't do anything...
At this moment, the phone in Haiyuan Ai's pocket vibrated and buzzed.
Haibara Ai was stunned and took out his phone to check on the street. The caller ID on it read "Edogawa Conan".
It was him who called...
Haihara Ai touched his pocket and realized that the detective medal he usually used for communication had fallen off.
Probably because he hasn't been back for such a long time, Conan has already located the location of the medal and discovered some clues.
To answer or not to answer?
After thinking for a few seconds, Haihara Ai decided not to answer and turned off the phone.
Now that her identity has been exposed, she is no longer qualified to implicate other people.
Just keep walking like this and see where you go...
At the same time, on the rooftop of the building across the street, a sniper with a swallowtail butterfly tail tattooed on the corner of his eye was aiming his gun at the street.
"Found a lonely Little Red Riding Hood~"
Chianti, who was observing the street with a scope, teased in a joking tone.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a mechanical sound processed by a voice changer came from the earphones.
"Execute her?"
The sudden sound made Chianti shudder.
Although she knew that this mission was to snipe a woman on Rum's order, and it was said to be a certain bodyguard that Rum failed to kill 17 years ago.
But she didn't expect that a big shot like Rum would have a direct conversation with her.
Although I used a voice changer...
"Receive, receive..."
It was the first time he had a conversation with a big figure in this kind of organization. Chianti felt a little frightened, and even his tone was slightly trembling.
As for why she wanted to shoot a seemingly unrelated child, she didn't dare to ask.
Anyway, the sniper's mission is to kill, nothing more.
But when she aimed her gun and prepared to shoot "Little Red Riding Hood" on the street, the target had disappeared.
"No, it's gone!"
"What?"
"The child who was walking on the street just now is missing..."
Chianti adjusted the scope greatly, but there was no trace of "Little Red Riding Hood" on the crowded streets.
In the dark alley of the street below, Haiyuan Ai was covered by someone's mouth, and her young body could only make the weakest struggle in the other person's arms.
"Shh-"
There was a hissing in my ears, but it was not very familiar.
Haiyuan Ai tried his best to look aside and saw that the other person had long black hair and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
It’s Rumi Wakasa!
"Don't resist, just follow me."
Wakasa Rumei whispered in Haibara Ai's ear, and then slowly released the power on her palm.
Huihara Ai also obeyed the other party's request and stopped struggling with her hands and feet.
She mustered up the courage in her heart, tilted her head and asked the other party: "Who are you?"
Among the people Haibara Ai knows who are proficient in disguise and identity change, the most representative one is undoubtedly Belmode in the organization.
But just now in the alley, this woman saved herself from the gunpoint of an organized gunman.
Obviously, she cannot be the disguised Belmode.
However, Haihara Ai would not think that the woman in front of him was a good person because of this, and he was still fully vigilant in his heart.
Wakasa Rumi did not immediately answer Haibara Ai's question, but held the latter in her arms with one hand, like a large doll.
She led Hui Yuan Ai through the alley and came to the quiet backstreet behind the bustling street.
There are very few pedestrians here, and there are almost no positions suitable for long-range sniping.
Rumi Wakasa seems to have a certain place she wants to go and is moving in one direction unswervingly.
So, Hui Yuan Ai continued to ask: "Where are you taking me?"
Originally, Haihara Ai had no hope that the other party would answer this question.
But a few seconds later, Rumi Wakasa spoke.
"We met on the mysterious train some time ago...do you remember?"
This sentence brought back memories of Haiyuan Ai.
At that time, I heard from the third child that she met Mr. Wakasa at the station and she happened to be on that train.
However, since I was brought back to the station from the detached luggage compartment, I didn't go to the station, so I didn't see Rumi Wakasa.
Other than that, she didn't remember meeting Rumi Wakasa.
Seeing that Haibara Ai hadn't thought of it yet, Rumi Wakasa kept walking at a fast pace and said.
"Strictly speaking, there were only two of us in that meeting..."
Two people?
Hearing Haiyuan Ai's face startled, he became even more confused.
But the next second, an idea suddenly came to her mind.
On that train, she did spend some time alone with someone.
It’s in the luggage compartment after disconnection!
That man had a fight with someone in the carriage. After the baggage carriage was separated, the man said some words. Haibara Ai still remembers it fresh.
"Are you...sister?"
That person calls himself "sister", so if you go backwards, you should call the other person "sister".
It's just that this sister is not the sister that Haiyuan Ai imagined in her mind.
"Yes."
"You may be surprised, but we have the same mother..."
When she said this, Wakasa Rumi was not looking at Haibara Ai, but was focusing on the road ahead.
But Haihara Ai kept looking up at Ruoxiu Rumei's eyes.
Although it was inconvenient to look at her eyes from an upward angle, Haihara Ai found that her eyes did not emphasize too much emotion and were simply stating a fact.
But even so, Hui Yuan Ai couldn't believe her with just one word.
"Do you know Elena Miyano?" Haihara Ai asked.
"Of course, she is my mother."
"Mother?"
Hui Yuan Ai narrowed his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "But I have never heard them mention you..."
"Who did you hear about it?"
Rumi Wakasa suddenly lowered her head and looked into the eyes of Ai Haibara in her arms.
The reflective right lens and the wide-eyed eyes behind the glasses were so frightening that Haihara Ai choked on the saliva secreted from her throat even what she wanted to say.
Seeing that Haibara Ai didn't want to continue talking, Wakasa Rumi continued to hug her and carry her on the way.
After a while, the two came to an abandoned building with unfinished construction.
During this period, Haihara Ai also encountered some inquiring looks from passers-by, meaning to ask her if she needed help.
But Hui Yuan Ai didn't say anything, just smiled and dealt with it.
On the one hand, she felt that with the fighting skills of these passers-by, they could not help her at all.
On the other hand, she felt inexplicably at ease in Wakasa Rumi's arms.
Rumi Wakasa does not have the dark aura that only members of the organization have.
Although she had threatened her with her eyes and stopped asking further, that kind of intimidation was not life-threatening in Haibara Ai's opinion.
Is it similar to a little warning given by parents to their children?
In short, Haiyuan Ai can't break free now. Even after breaking free, he has nowhere to go and can only be at the mercy of the other party.
When Wakasa Rumi carried Haibara Ai to the top floor of the abandoned building, she gently placed the latter on the ground.
"You hide here and no matter what happens next, don't make any sound."
Rumi Wakasa placed Haibara Ai among a pile of waste building materials, and walked to the center of the hall alone, waiting for something quietly.
Hui Yuan Ai squatted on the ground and used all his strength to move the stacked building materials and waste products slightly away from the gap so that he could see the situation outside.
On the cement gray ground, Rumi Wakasa, wearing a green sportswear, stood silently, her head slightly drooped and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
After a while, footsteps came from the empty corridor.
Ta,ta,ta...
The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, getting closer and closer.
Until a man in a black trench coat appeared at the safety exit of the floor.
Seeing the man's appearance, Haiyuan Ai's pupils suddenly tightened, and his hands clenched into fists nervously.
Because this man is the gunman who wanted to kill him just now.
On this side, when Scotch appeared, he immediately raised the pistol in his hand and pointed the gun at Rumi Wakasa.
Rumi Wakasa stood in a relaxed posture, and her originally calm face gradually became a little ferocious.
The corners of her mouth raised, showing an extremely arrogant expression.
"Is it okay to just shoot?"
"Don't you want to know who else knows information about you besides me?"
"Rum..."
Rumi Wakasa seemed to be talking to Scotch, but in fact she was staring at Scotch's chest.
There is a black tie tied behind the black vest, with a tie clip pinned to it, and its inlay is extremely crystal clear.
At the same time, Rum, who was sitting in the car and conducting remote control, was staring at the computer screen.
On the screen, the pictures taken by the camera are being transmitted simultaneously.
In the picture, there is an interior of an abandoned building, with Rumi Wakasa standing directly opposite.
Rum frowned slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Ignore her and shoot."
Scotch Whiskey on this side heard the order and was about to pull the trigger in his hand.
But Rumi Wakasa suddenly spoke again at this time.
"And the secrets on that ship, don't you want to know too?"
"Wait a moment!"
Before the woman finished speaking, Rum, who was sitting in the car, immediately shouted.
The Scotch whiskey also loosens up the intensity of the food.
Rum took off the cigar hanging from the corner of his mouth and said into the earphone: "Ask her what she knows."
Scotch Whiskey maintained his gun-holding posture and calmly asked Rumi Wakasa: "What do you know?"
"Huh, if you want to know those secrets, you have to come to me in person."
The corners of Wakasa Rumi's mouth rose, and there was even a hint of provocation in it.
This made Rum let out a sigh of relief when he saw this picture, and his eyes narrowed even more grimly.
He slowly raised his hand and covered his right eye, leaving only his left eye exposed.
On the small table in front of him, in addition to the camera footage from the Scotch perspective, a computer next to it was also connected to surveillance cameras from the nearby area and a sniper perspective camera.
Rum's eyes scanned these real-time surveillance pictures one by one, carefully confirming everyone in the picture.
After a minute, he slowly lowered his palm and spoke into the headset.
"Scotch, tell her I agree to go."
…
At the same time, Haiyuan Ai was squatting in the gap among the waste building materials, not daring to move.
Her eyes were so wide that she couldn't believe what she just heard.
Is Rumi Wakasa talking to Rum?
That gunman is the second in command of the organization?
No, it was impossible for Rum to personally kill someone. Someone should have controlled the gunman remotely from behind.
But what is the "ship" that Rumi Wakasa refers to?
