Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 83 Exposure
Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Ai was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood the parents mentioned by the other party, referring to her biological parents, Miyano Koji and Miyano Elena who used to work for the winery.

If it was the original world line, the tapes left to her by the Miyano couple might be the only thing that Haibara Ai can comfort her soul.

But today's Xiao Ai, not only did not lose her sister, but also had adoptive parents who really loved her, which made her at a loss for a while, not knowing how to face the relics left by her biological parents, whom she had never met.

Xiaosaki probably also saw the reason for her sister's confusion, and looked at Xia Mei with a slightly guilty look, wanting to see how her adoptive mother would react to this.

What Xia Mei said next immediately dispelled the doubts of the two sisters.

"Xiao Ai, go and get back what the Miyano couple left for you, we will accompany you there."

"Although you haven't met them, they must love you very much. Although I don't know what was recorded on the tape, since it was prepared not long after you were born, I think it must be full of love."

"Let's go to retrieve the relics together, which can be regarded as an explanation. Speaking of which, I have to thank them for giving birth to such a good pair of daughters."

After hearing what Xia Mei said, Xiao Ai was no longer confused. No matter what was said in the tape left by her biological parents, it could not change her now, she is the daughter of this family.

……

Early the next morning, the family drove to the parking lot near Dejima Design Office. After getting off the car, the four walked to the gate of the destination.

Seeing this old house, Xiaosaki somewhat missed the days when she came here with her parents when she was a child, while Xiao Ai sighed with emotion, so it turned out that this is the place where her biological father lived when she was a child.

After confirming that there were no vehicles or people suspected of being in the vicinity of the winery, Ishino stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

After seeing the bald middle-aged man who came to open the door, Ishino said that his two daughters suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom when passing by, so they took the liberty to borrow the bathroom here.

The middle-aged man agreed to Ishino's request very friendly, and even complained that luckily the boss is not here today, otherwise he might have to be wordy again.

When he saw the two little girls who greeted him politely, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a feeling of deja vu, but before he could take a closer look, the two of them hurried into the toilet.

Although Shi Ye couldn't remember the name of the man in front of him, he had some impression of his hairstyle, and vaguely remembered that the man would poison and kill his boss later, but these had nothing to do with him.

While the two little girls were going to the bathroom, the middle-aged man chatted with the Ishino couple in the entrance for a while.

When the other party mentioned the strange thing that the company's windows seemed to have been pried open this morning, but nothing was stolen, Ishino suddenly realized the crisis, so he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to see why his daughters hadn't come out yet. , went straight to the toilet.

Finding that the toilet door was locked, Ishino made his own voice at the toilet door, reminding his daughters to open the door and let him in.

When Xiaosaki opened the door, Ishino immediately walked into the toilet, and locked the door again, made a silent gesture with his fingers, then quickly looked around, and keenly found a bug in a crack .

Seeing the faces of the two daughters turn pale when they saw the bug, Ishino knew that they also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he squatted down in front of the two, brought his face closer, and asked softly, "Did you say anything in it just now? "

Xiao Ai, who is calmer than her elder sister, nodded, and replied softly: "When my elder sister was taking the tape, she told me about her coming here with her parents when she was a child, but we didn't mention it now. name……"

Seeing Xiaosaki holding the sealed bag tightly in her small hands, with a face full of self-blame, Ishino touched her head with his hands, and said in relief: "Don't worry, I'm here, it's okay."

Feeling the temperature from this big hand, Xiaosaki's nervous heart gradually calmed down. For some reason, she felt that as long as she had her adoptive father in front of her, she didn't have to worry about anything.

Seeing that the daughters had regained their composure, Ishino began to quickly think about coping strategies in his mind.

First of all, it is certain that, according to the original plot, this bug was placed here by someone from the winery. The purpose is probably to confirm whether Miyano Akemi has hidden something, and whether Miyano Shiho will come here to find it. thing.

Secondly, before entering the door, I have confirmed that there is no person from the suspected winery monitoring here, which means that the person in charge of monitoring is not nearby, and it should be monitored remotely through special monitoring equipment.

In the end, Xiao Ai had escaped from the winery for more than a week, and someone probably had received the task of tracking Shirley's whereabouts and returned to Japan.

In the original plot, during this period of time, the only woman who installed bugs everywhere to investigate the information of the Miyano sisters was that woman—Belmode!
If everything is as Ishino speculated, then before Belmode conveys what he heard to other members of the organization, he must first contact the other party.

If Belmode wasn't listening, then the other party might narrow the investigation target to the little girl based on the voice. Although there won't be any problems in a short period of time, a long-term strategy must be prepared.

So, Ishino signaled the two daughters to leave here and return to Natsumi, then closed the door and said to himself: "Okay, wash your hands and come out, didn't you say you want to be a big star like Sharon?"

"Dad remembers that she had a movie that was filmed at Neuschwanstein Castle. In it, there was a very beautiful scene of standing on the cliff beside the castle and watching the sunset on the sea. There happened to be such a scenic spot near Tokyo. I will take you to see it later. Let's see."

Inside the winery, there are only a handful of core members who know that Belmode's real identity is Sharon Wynyard. Except for Belmode himself, who was clearly assigned this task, it is impossible for the rest to personally monitor this matter.

Therefore, if this conversation is heard by other people, they will feel a little strange, and suspect that someone is disturbing their judgment, but if Belmode hears it by himself, he will definitely understand the information contained in it.

Afterwards, Ishino put the waterproof bag containing the tapes that Kosaki gave him just now into the pocket of his jacket, went out of the toilet and returned to the entrance to meet the three of them, bid farewell to the middle-aged man and left.

Before leaving, Xiaosaki saw the tired expression on the familiar middle-aged uncle's face, so she smiled sweetly and said to him: "Uncle, if you feel tired, don't force yourself."

Seeing the smile that seemed to have healed him in his memory, something in the man's heart that had been suppressing him seemed to be erased. When he watched the family of four leave, the haze on his face had disappeared.
