Stay away from Conan

Chapter 268: Telling a Lie

"So, Mr. Akechi, you already know what the treasure map is about after listening to this girl's account on the phone, right?"

Sitting in the living room of Akechi House, after asking a few simple questions, Conan said helplessly.

"Roughly the same."

Gao Yuan said calmly.

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but feel a little depressed——

"Damn it, I've obviously been thinking about it for so long..."

Muttering in his mind, Conan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked softly:

"But having said that, who is this child named Haibara Ai? Why does she live in your house? I remember Mr. Mingzhi said that you have no relatives, right? And her method of subduing gangsters and her shooting skills... are really... It’s hard to imagine that she is a child?”

"Because I'm just like you."

At this time, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly came down from upstairs and said lightly.

In this regard, Gao Yuan, who was thinking about what to say, couldn't help but feel a little strange - didn't you say that you don't want to reveal your identity for the time being?

But when he heard this, Conan couldn't help being startled——

"like me?"

"My sister was killed by the organization, and I was also hunted by the organization. I took the same medicine as you, and as a result, my body unexpectedly shrank."

Huiyuan Ai said calmly, "I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I can only come to this world to seek refuge with Mr. Gao Yuan, the only person I can trust. I hope to get his protection."

"The only one you can trust?"

After hearing what Haihara Ai said, Conan was greatly surprised and asked in a cold sweat.

"That's right. My only relative was killed by the organization, and Mr. Gao Yuan is the detective who once helped me. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else I can rely on."

Haiyuan Ai said, sitting next to Gao Yuan and looking at Conan, "And I didn't expect that after arriving here, there would be people who had the same experience as me."

Conan was so shocked that he couldn't speak - he didn't expect that there would still be people whose bodies had become smaller because they were fed drugs by that organization!

After listening to Haihara Ai's words, Gao Yuan probably understood what she meant - she confessed to Conan that she also took medicine to become smaller, but she did not tell Conan that she actually escaped from the organization and was still APTX4869 developers.

Gao Yuan didn't say much about Haiyuan Ai's choice, but thought about how to cooperate with her statement.

"So... why were you killed by the organization! How much do you know about the organization! What about that drug! Tell me!"

Hearing what Haihara Ai said, Conan couldn't help but be impulsive and stepped forward to question.

"Sorry, my knowledge is limited,"

Hui Yuan Ai said calmly, and then looked at Gao Yuan:

"Maybe Mr. Gao Yuan knows more than me."

Conan was greatly surprised by this. Looking at the detective who had moved next door to his house and whom he had known for almost a year, Conan suddenly felt a little strange.

Faced with the current situation, Gao Yuan looked at Hui Yuan Ai with some helplessness - he was asking himself to help you cover your lie.

So, with a sigh, Gao Yuan explained:

"I have indeed been involved in cases related to the organization, and I even almost died because of it. But even so, what I know is extremely limited, because the scope of this organization's influence is all over the world."

"So, you warned me like that after you saw me getting smaller?"

Braving a cold sweat, Conan asked Gao Yuan for confirmation, "You knew it from the beginning!"

"I said, even I know very little. And facing this organization, showing the slightest clue is a disaster."

Gao Yuan said seriously:

"What I can tell you is that the organization has been using that drug to carry out assassinations. I didn't expect that this drug could actually make people smaller. Judging from the fact that the organization is still using this drug to kill people. Look, they don’t know that this may happen if you take this drug, so your current situation is relatively safe. But if the organization knows that you are still alive, they will definitely deal with you and all related people at all costs.”

Looking at Gao Yuan's serious expression, and recalling the kindness of Gao Yuan who sacrificed his life to help several times before, Conan's original excited expression finally calmed down——

At least, Mr. Mingzhi can be trusted... As for this girl, judging from what she said, Mr. Mingzhi should know her very well. Since Mr. Mingzhi chooses to take her in, it means he trusts her...

With this thought, Conan sat back on the sofa.

"I understand, that means the fates of the three of us are intertwined now, right?"

"That's right. So once you encounter organizational matters in the future, never handle it alone."

Gao Yuan admonished.

In response, Conan nodded seriously, then slumped down on the sofa with a sigh of relief and murmured——

"But there's one thing I still don't understand! Although I can understand such precise shooting, how on earth is it possible to subdue an adult with a child's body?"

"Here, take it."

Haihara Ai said, took out a watch and threw it at Conan.

Hearing the sound, Conan hurriedly reached out to pick it up——

"It's very dangerous!"

Taking the thing with both hands, Conan complained, then opened his hand and looked at the watch in his hand. He saw that it was a silver watch as a whole. The dial was dark blue. The upper, lower, left, and There are four red triangles on the right and a "+" shape in the center. Taken together, it looks like a sight.

"What's this?"

Conan asked doubtfully.

"This is the latest watch-type anesthesia gun made for you by Dr. A Li. It has an anesthesia needle inside that can be fired."

Haiyuan Ai said calmly, "Dr. Ali originally asked me to hand it over to you today, but unexpectedly it saved your life."

"Hey! If you have something like this, take it out as soon as possible!"

After listening to Haibara Ai's words, Conan couldn't help but say, and then played with the watch in his hand. After pressing the knob on the watch to adjust the time, the watch cover stood up, and the mirror on the watch cover looked exactly like a sight.

"Oh! It looks quite similar!"

Conan seems to be a little bit unable to put it down.

"There is only one anesthetic needle in it, and it has been used. The anesthetic used is specially made. Once you are hit, the anesthetic will take effect immediately and make people sleepy, but the effect of the drug can only last about ten to thirty minutes. And the anesthesia The needles are also specially made of organic materials and will be absorbed as nutrients after entering the human body.”

Hui Yuan Ai explained.

"Okay, I'll go find Dr. A Li to get a new anesthesia needle!"

After Conan happily put the watch on his hand, he jumped down from the sofa, said goodbye to Gao Yuan, left Akechi's house, and went to the A Li house next door to find Dr. A Li.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan immediately called Dr. A Li and asked Dr. A Li to keep it secret and never reveal the matter of Haibara Ai to Conan. If Conan asked, just say that he just took medicine to become smaller. .

After doing this, Gao Yuan reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, it seems I was right."

Seeing Gao Yuan finish these things, Hui Yuan Ai, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly showed a faint smile and looked at Gao Yuan——

"You do know more than I do."
