In the hotel room, the conversation between Qin Zhibo, Kudo Yusaku, Kuroba Toichi, and Luc Villiers was coming to an end.
Everyone summarized the current information.
The organization has a "ghost ship" drifting in the seas of the world. There is a new potential laboratory on the ship, which may be crucial to the organization.
Because that ship might be carrying Ksheela, the daughter of Cthulhu who once operated in the waters of Devil's Reef near Innsmouth.
Xila should be the key key used by the organization to resurrect Cthulhu.
Also, the secret code left by Amanda Hughes 17 years ago should not point to the organization's second-in-command Rum, but to her adopted daughter Rachel Asaka.
Although it is unclear why Amanda Hughes cares so much about Asaka, there must be some reasons.
In addition, Qin Zhibo also told several people about some of the internal conditions of the organization that he knew.
For example, the organization boss once called Belmode "the mother of the child".
Cohen, the organization's gold medal sniper, is an undercover agent placed in the organization by Walter Marsh Jr., the actual controller of STK Corporation.
STK Company once established a research unit in Japan, named "Shiroji Pharmaceutical", and both Miyano and his wife worked as researchers in the company.
When Shiroji Pharmaceutical collapsed 25 years ago, the Miyano couple opened a clinic outside for a period of time, and then were invited to join a group controlled by the organization.
If Elena Miyano was originally a member of the organization and Hiroshi Miyano was actually controlled by her, then the hostile relationship between Shiroji Pharmaceutical and the STK behind it and the organization is also obvious.
"I see……"
Kudo Yusaku held his chin and murmured thoughtfully: "As long as we can bring STK into our camp, it means that our winning rate will be higher."
The undercover agents currently lurking in the organization include Bourbon, Kiel, and Curacao.
If we can add one more undercover agent, the organization's chances of winning will be even higher.
Qin Zhibo nodded and continued: "I have met this little Walter Marsh several times. I can find a way to negotiate with him..."
At this moment, Qin Zhibo's phone suddenly rang.
"Excuse me."
Qin Zhibo apologized and took out his phone at the same time. When he looked at the number, he found that it was Conan calling.
This made him a little surprised, because he hadn't had time to tell him about his coming to the United States, so Conan was definitely not in a hurry to call to inquire about the meeting.
He picked up the phone and before he could speak, Conan on the other side said anxiously.
"Qin! Huiyuan has been captured!"
"Capture him?"
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and said, "When did it happen? Who and where was she kidnapped?"
On the other end of the phone, Conan, who was far away in Yoneka Town, Japan, looked up at the abandoned building in front of him and stated what happened today in the most concise words.
After describing what happened, Conan quickly asked anxiously, "Qin, where are you now?"
"I think Haiyuan hasn't been captured for too long. If we chase him now, we might be able to catch up!"
Conan's tone was a little excited, even losing his usual calmness.
Because he knew that once Hui Yuan Ai was brought back to the organization's secret base, what awaited her would be the execution of the traitor.
Obviously he has promised to protect her safety...
Qin Zhibo here frowned even more tightly and told him about his situation.
"I'm in the United States now and can't go back immediately..."
"USA?"
Now it was Conan's turn to be surprised and asked in confusion: "Why are you going to the United States?"
Just as Qin Zhibo was about to explain, Kudo Yusaku, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, took over the conversation, "Is it Conan's call?"
"Um."
"Then let me tell him..."
Kudo Yusaku took Qin Zhibo's call, "Shinichi, what happened?"
This voice...
Conan was even more surprised when he heard this familiar voice.
"Old, Dad?"
"Well, Mr. Qin and I, as well as your uncle, are all in the United States now, discussing some very important matters. There is no way to go back immediately."
Hearing this, Conan's already not calm mind became even more confused for a moment.
Because he couldn't figure out whether he should ask them what they were discussing in the United States first or talk about Haibara Ai first.
After hesitating for two seconds, he still told Kudo Yusaku about Haibara Ai being taken away.
"Is she the little girl staying at Dr. A Li's house?"
Kudo Yusaku had heard about Ai Haihara from Dr. Agasa and knew her origins, but he had never met her in person.
"Yes! That's her!" Conan replied.
"Is it now certain that someone from the organization kidnapped her?" Yusaku Kudo changed the topic, "Or did she take the initiative to leave with someone from the organization?"
"Um?"
Conan was suddenly puzzled, not knowing what his father was talking about.
If Haiyuan Ai goes back with the organization, his life will be lost!
Kudo Yusaku here, with a calm expression, further analyzed: "Judging from the current situation, the mother of the child named 'Haihara Ai' is still alive and still working for the organization."
"If that's the case, we need to consider whether her mother sent someone to pick her up."
"Because APTX-4869 is a drug researched by her mother, it has the effect of making people's bodies smaller, and her mother must be aware of it."
"In other words, the child's current identity may not have been a secret from the beginning..."
Kudo Yusaku's analysis suddenly enlightened Conan on the other side of the phone, and a whole new way of thinking was opened up.
Indeed, Haibara Ai once said that her research was inherited from her mother Elena's.
If Elena was still alive, she would probably have known that drugs could make a person's body smaller.
As long as you can understand this and combine it with the organization's deep-rooted intelligence network, it is not difficult to grasp the identity of Haibara Ai.
In this way, my identity also...
"But...since the organization already knows her whereabouts, why not take her back immediately?"
Conan also wanted to defend Hui Yuan Ai, because he really didn't want to think in the worst direction.
Kudo Yusaku also heard the hesitation in Conan's words, understood that the "revolutionary friendship" between the two had a certain foundation, and was unwilling to doubt each other easily.
But in the face of a formidable enemy, any indecision is undesirable.
"Shinichi, although I will not assume that the child is still a member of the organization, for the sake of safety, it is best to be cautious..."
"You should have gotten to know people from the FBI during the last video conference. The top priority now is to contact them and tell them the situation."
"They will help you hide, and the Maori family and Dr. Ali will also be protected secretly."
For the sake of safety, it sounds like Kudo Yusaku already regards Haibara Ai as a member of the organization.
Although Conan wanted to refute, he was unable to speak.
Because even if Haihara Ai doesn't give in, the organization can follow the clues to find out everyone she has come into contact with during this period, and then kill them.
Kudo Yusaku's approach is the most sensible.
"Okay, I will do it..."
Although Conan agreed, his voice was very low.
Kudo Yusaku also knew that his son would definitely feel uncomfortable at this time, but comforting him on the phone was tantamount to scratching an itch and was meaningless.
He returned the phone to Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo took the phone and said: "I will ask my assistant to inquire about the whereabouts of Hui Yuan Ai..."
assistant?
Conan was startled at first, but then he remembered that last time Qin Zhibo admitted that his former detective assistant, Toru Amuro, was an undercover agent in the organization.
And this was the only way Qin Zhibo thought of when he was on the phone with Kudo Yusaku just now.
Let Bourbon, Kiel, and Curaçao collect relevant information within the organization.
After all, when I return to Japan and cast the finding spell again, the day lilies will probably be cold.
As for the person who kidnapped or took away Hui Yuan Ai, Qin Zhibo first ruled out that it was Belmode.
Because Belmode's attitude towards Hui Yuan Ai is to kill whenever he can and never hold back.
In the train incident, in order to kill Haibara Ai immediately, she even planned to blow up Bourbon too.
Therefore, Belmode would not take such troublesome action as bringing Haiyuan Ai back to the organization.
Kudo Yusaku believes that this matter was controlled by Elena Miyano, and there is a high probability.
After all, tiger poison does not eat seeds.
Qin Zhibo told Conan his remedy, and Conan immediately approved it.
"Well, that's all we can do now..."
…
With the episode brought by Conan, the content of the meeting also temporarily changed.
Everyone discussed the consequences of this incident and made new plans for the next itinerary.
The good news is that although Haibara Ai has been staying by Conan's side, she actually doesn't have a deep understanding of the situation on the red side.
The bad news is that even if you don't know the specific plans, you know who is currently hostile to the organization, and Curacao has been cleared as an undercover agent.
Even if Huihara Ai doesn't take the initiative to say it, whether a little girl can withstand the torture of the organization is still a question.
Therefore, Japan must currently lack manpower, and the FBI and Japanese public security alone cannot control the situation.
Therefore, the Kuroba couple decided to return to Japan immediately.
Kudo Shinichi also has to make final contacts in the United States and coordinate various investigative organizations around the world.
Luc Villiers of Nine Angels was responsible for going to Los Angeles to meet with Walter Marsh Jr. of STK to discuss joining forces to fight against the organization.
Luc Villiers knew the Marsh family, the former first family of Innsmouth, relatively well. Although there was no close friendship, he could at least talk to them.
Qin Zhibo originally wanted to return to Japan immediately, but he had another matter to deal with, so he could only delay it for a few days.
…
On the streets of Yoneka Town, Tokyo, Japan.
In the night, a primary school student wearing glasses seemed a little alone.
Ten minutes ago, Conan, who had just finished talking to Qin Zhibo on the phone, contacted James from the FBI.
After briefly telling the other party what was going on here, James said he would send someone to pick him up immediately.
While waiting, the three little ones also received news through the Detective Medal that Officer Megure had arrived with the police.
After weighing the situation, Conan still did not tell Officer Megure about discovering that Haibara Ai had been taken away.
After all, the organization's affairs are not something ordinary police can intervene in.
But Conan has been thinking about who saved Haiyuan Ai in the alley next to Didan Elementary School?
If the organization's target is Haibara Ai, then what position is that unidentified adult in?
A brave passerby?
Or is he someone related to the organization like Haihara Ai?
Suddenly, an idea suddenly flashed in Conan's mind, and he thought of a person.
Wakasa Rumi!
Rumi Wakasa was a person related to the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago, and was also related to the organization in disguise.
And the place where the incident happened is not far from Tedan Elementary School. It is possible that Wakasa Rumi, who was about to go home, encountered someone from the organization who was arresting Haibara Ai?
Very possible!
Thinking of this, Conan quickly took out his phone and scrolled down the address book until he reached Rumi Wakasa's name.
Fortunately, I left her phone number before...
Conan felt a little lucky in his heart and dialed the number.
beep--
beep--
The busy tone continues with no sign of picking up.
Until 45 seconds later, the electronic prompt sounds to remind the other party that the other user is busy and cannot answer the call temporarily.
Seeing this, Conan still dialed a second time in disbelief.
But the result remains the same.
This situation gave Conan a bad feeling.
Because the number Wakasa Rumi has is a mobile phone number, you can carry your mobile phone with you at any time to answer calls.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove over from a distance and stopped next to Conan.
The front window rolled down, revealing James and Judy's faces.
"Cool kid, let's get in the car first and then talk..."
…
In the car, Conan told James and Judy the specific situation again.
In this situation, he had to tell the two of them Haihara Ai's true identity.
"The organization's scientist, codenamed 'Shirley'?"
"It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance..."
Both James and Judy had met Haihara Ai before, but at that time they felt that this little girl was a little mature, but a little shy, not very talkative, and the rest was hard to tell.
"No, she is not actually a little girl, at least not the age you look like..."
"Actually, like me, she is actually older than she appears on the surface."
"Our bodies shrank because we took a drug developed by the organization."
"My real name is actually Kudo Shinichi..."
Now that things have happened, Conan no longer feels the need to conceal his identity.
If things are as Kudo Yusaku speculated, the organization has already known the secret of the shrink, what is the point of him hiding it now?
Now that the confrontation with the organization has become more intense, continuing to hide his identity will only increase unnecessary communication costs.
When James and Judy sitting in the front seat heard Conan's confession, their eyes were stunned for a moment.
However, James' surprise was obviously lighter, and he quickly regained his composure.
"That's true..." James sighed softly.
"James, did you already know about this?" Judy turned her head in surprise and asked.
"No."
James controlled the steering wheel and shook his head slightly, "I just confirmed it, but I did have a suspicion in this regard before..."
