Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 82 Disks
In order to facilitate communication, Ishino bought new mobile phones for both Xiaosaki and Xiaoai. Afterwards, the two went to school and exchanged numbers and email addresses with a few of their closest friends.

Most of the children studying in Didan Primary School are from good families, and the school spirit is relatively open and free, so the penetration rate of mobile phones among children is not low. Several children in the Detective Boys have their own mobile phones.

On this night, Xiao Ai received a text message from Conan, saying that the disk that was taken away by the police at Professor Hirota's house as evidence had been sent to Dr. Ali's house.

Xiao Ai, who was a little excited, told the news to several people in the family, hoping to rush to Dr. A Li's house to decrypt the disk now.

If you can get the information related to drug development in the disk, it should be of great help to develop an antidote, not to mention that there may be more secrets about the organization in it.

Seeing Xiao Ai's excited expression, Xia Mei and Xiao Saki were also happy for her.

But Xia Mei suddenly thought of something, looked at the two sisters with a little sadness, and asked with some hesitation: "If you get the antidote, does Xiao Ai want to turn back into an adult? How about you, Xiao Saki?"

Xiaosaki was taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Ai who was hesitant.

Faced with the sight from her sister, Xiao Ai knew that the other party had left the decision to her. If she decided to become an adult again, her sister would probably make the same choice.

But she knew how much her sister cherished her current life, and once she changed back to Akemi Miyano, she would spend the rest of her life in panic all day long under the chase of the police and organizations.

And the few days of living in this new home were the happiest and most relaxing days in her life. She couldn't lie to herself that she didn't yearn for such a life, so at this moment she made a decision to follow her heart.

Xiao Ai raised her head, met Natsumi's expectant gaze, shook her head and smiled, "No, that Miyano Shiho who used to work for a criminal organization is dead...I want to continue living as Haibara Ai. "

Hearing her sister's decision, Xiaosaki finally let go of her heart that had been hanging around, and said to Xia Mei: "I am the same, I don't want to change back, and I don't want to leave."

Xia Mei didn't speak when she heard the words, but walked to the middle of the two daughters and knelt down slowly, holding them together with each hand, feeling their warmth.

Looking at this tender picture, Shi Ye, who had been standing behind several people, didn't speak, but just waited silently.

He knows that once a bond called "family" is formed between people, even if it is only a few days, it cannot be easily broken away.

He also knew that Xiao Ai's words were indeed sincere, but with her personality, if she really got the antidote, when she judged that her existence would threaten the family, she would probably take the antidote resolutely and use her own At the expense of protecting this home.

And the bond called "family" is the best medicine to heal Xiao Ai's inner scars, and protecting this bond is the most important duty of Ishino as the head of the family.

Seeing that the three people's emotions gradually calmed down, Ishino thought of something. He walked up to Xiao Ai and reminded him: "Xiao Ai, since that disk is so important, does the organization have no means of keeping it secret?"

Hearing Ishino's question, Xiao Ai's expression froze suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.

She was a little too excited when she learned that the disk had been obtained before, ignoring the organization's consistent cautious style. Now that she thinks about it, how can the organization's confidential information not be strictly protected.

"There is a high probability that a protection mechanism is embedded in that disk. If you open it rashly, not only the data may be destroyed, but in the worst case, it may even be anti-tracked. I hope that reckless guy didn't try to open it in a hurry."

While talking about her speculation, Xiao Ai dialed Conan's phone and waited anxiously for the other party's answer.

"Hey, Haibara, did you see the text message I sent you, is it convenient to talk now?" Conan's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Kudou, is the disk in your hand now? Don't worry, wait until I come over." Xiao Ai urged with some eagerness.

"Is it a disk? I'm checking in front of Dr. Ali's computer now. It seems that a password is required to unlock the hidden files. Do you have any idea?"

Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Xiao Ai's heart skipped a beat. Feeling bad, she shouted directly to the phone: "Idiot! There may be a virus in that disk, and in the worst case, it may be traced to your place through the Internet. side position!"

Xiao Ai's words frightened Conan, and in desperation he tore off the network cable behind the case. Just at this time, a large number of garbled characters appeared on the monitor and spread to the entire screen like black mist.

After a few seconds the entire screen went black and the computer was completely unresponsive, and even when trying to restart I could only hear the sound of the fan without any signal being transmitted to the monitor.

After noticing the silence on the other end of the phone for more than ten seconds, Xiao Ai knew that the virus on the disk might have taken effect, and the data in hand had already been destroyed.

Conan, who realized that he had almost caused a catastrophe, picked up the mobile phone on the computer table dejectedly, and confessed to Xiao Ai with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, Huiyuan, I was too impatient. Now the doctor's computer and disk are all infected by viruses. Destroyed... but I unplugged the network cable before the virus started, it should be... all right?"

"That should be a virus called Night Baron. This virus is for the purpose of destroying data and will not transmit information to the outside. You are lucky, Mr. Reckless Detective." Xiao Ai rebuked Conan with some gratitude.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, Xiao Ai hung up the phone directly regardless of the famous detective who fell short of success due to her own mistakes and fell into frustration and self-blame.

Seeing Xiao Ai also showing a disappointed expression, Shi Ye went to her and knelt down, rubbed her curly hair, and comforted: "It's a blessing in disguise, and I didn't get the research materials and secrets of the organization. I just stopped Conan-kun's thoughts, presumably he will calm down for a while."

Xiao Ai thought about Conan's recklessness, nodded and agreed: "Indeed, if he really got the secrets of the organization, he probably couldn't wait to investigate on the spot, and I'm afraid he won't know how he died! "

Just when Xiao Ai comforted herself and made her feel more relaxed, Xiao Saki, who had been thinking since she heard Xiao Ai and the other end of the phone mentioning the disk, suddenly remembered the thing she had almost forgotten.

Noticing the tangled appearance of the eldest daughter who hesitated to speak, Xia Mei took the initiative to ask: "Xiao Saki, do you have something to say?"

Seeing her adoptive mother ask, Xiaosaki no longer struggled, and told Xiao Ai what she thought of: "Xiao Ai, I went to my father's old house a week before I betrayed the organization, and left my parents to you. The tapes are hidden there..."
