Stay away from Conan

It was already dusk when I drove back to my home from the apartment at the crime scene.

After Gao Yuan drove the car back to the garage, when he walked back to the living room from the garage, he saw Xiao Ai staying in the living room at this time.

Seeing Gao Yuan coming back at this time, Xiao Ai couldn't help folding her legs together, holding her hands in front of her, and asked slightly coldly and arrogantly:

"What's wrong? You came back so late. I didn't answer your call yesterday. Didn't you just go investigate about that girl?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan could not help but explain:

"My phone is broken, and there happened to be an incident that needed to be investigated, so I didn't come back last night."

As he said that, he seemed a little anxious and was about to go upstairs.

However, when he first stepped onto the stairs, Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, so he stopped slightly, turned around and asked:

"By the way, what happened last night? Why did you make that phone call?"

Seeing this and seeing Gao Yuan's attitude, Xiao Ai seemed a little unhappy. She turned away and said calmly:

"It's nothing, it's okay now."

"oh……"

Hearing what Xiao Ai said, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and then prepared to go upstairs——

"I'm a little tired. I need to have a good sleep so I don't have to prepare my dinner."

"'Tequila' is dead."

However, just as Gao Yuan finished speaking and had not walked a few steps, Xiao Ai suddenly closed his eyes and coldly told what happened yesterday.

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but stop. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ai, who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, and asked in surprise:

"When...'Mantiantian' game launch conference?"

Halfway through his words, he immediately remembered the invitation letter he had obtained for the "Man Tian Tian" game conference. After calculating the time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, yes."

Hearing Gao Yuan's rhetorical question, Xiao Ai nodded silently. Then he immediately opened his eyes, raised his head, stared at Gao Yuan with very serious eyes, and asked sternly:

"So, you already knew that 'Tequila' would appear at the press conference yesterday and trade with the employees of 'Mantiantian'?"

In this regard, realizing that his answer just now had almost exposed that he seemed to have expected this matter, Gao Yuan did not hide it, nodded slightly and said:

"Well... that's right..."

As soon as he finished speaking, after receiving Gao Yuan's affirmative answer, Xiao Ai suddenly stood up from the sofa, and shouted to Gao Yuan with a very stern but somewhat worried expression:

"Since you have known about this kind of thing for a long time, why didn't you tell me earlier! Do you know that I went to the press conference on your behalf yesterday, and ended up meeting someone from the organization? I was not prepared at all! If he hadn’t been killed inexplicably, I wouldn’t have guaranteed that I could have stopped Edogawa at that time!”

Seeing Xiao Ai's hysterical look, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned——

Because of the incident with Shirozuka Jade, I actually forgot that yesterday was the time for the "Man Tian Tian" press conference!

However, even if I remembered it, what could I have done at that time?

I heard Xiao Ai say that he was killed "inexplicably" by the explosion. It seems that this incident should be no different from the original work.

In that case, even if I was present, what could I do? Is it possible to save "Tequila"? This is not just an increase in enemies, but there is also the risk of exposure...

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the incident would not have gone awry if I had been present at the time...

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he was not there yesterday, which seems to be a good thing.

But, in this case, if I encounter an original incident related to the black organization later, I have to stay out of it, is it a good choice?

Once such an idea occurred, Gao Yuan could not help but fall into deep thought——

Before, it was just some daily events in the original work. After deviations occur, it should not have any big impact on the follow-up, but what if it is an event related to the black organization? If there is a big deviation in the development of events, will the result be good or bad?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, unable to make a conclusion.

Seeing Gao Yuan suddenly fall into deep thought, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a little strange - did she say something that confused him?

"I won't hide it from you next time."

This kind of thinking can't lead to a conclusion, and there are more important matters concerning the life and death of several girls that need to be resolved at the moment, so it's better to do what you can do first.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan responded to Xiao Ai and prepared to continue going upstairs——

"Ah, by the way. Did you discover anything after meeting 'Tequila'?"

Gao Yuan's final question was this:

Although I remember the plot of the original work, if I hadn't asked this question, wouldn't Xiao Ai feel that I didn't care about the organization's affairs?

With such thoughts in mind, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Others are nothing special."

After hearing Gao Yuan's promise to him that he would never hide such things again, Xiao Ai's mood eased a little, and she couldn't help but reply calmly:

"It's just that the organization actually sent people to my sister's university professor and disposed of a floppy disk containing APTX4869 drug data."

"Ah! When did it happen!"

After hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but asked in shock.

"Is it just last night?"

Seeing that Gao Yuan's reaction suddenly became so loud again, Xiao Ai said a little puzzled - it's obviously all related to the organization, why is there such a big difference in attitude? He was not surprised that "Tequila" was killed in a bomb like this. How could a floppy disk...

"I called you yesterday just to tell you about this."

Although Xiao Ai was confused, she continued:

"Edogawa and I overheard the phone call between Tequila and Vodka. We learned that Vodka wanted Tequila to go to the home of my sister's university professor, Hirota Masami, that night, and I I remembered that I once mistakenly sent a floppy disk from the laboratory to my sister, and that floppy disk might have been handed over to the professor by my sister later, so I suspected that the organization suddenly sent someone to the professor's house just for that floppy disk. so……"

Saying that, Xiao Ai silently went to Shizuoka County with Conan and Dr. Ari last night, found Masami Hirota's home, found the floppy disk, and the data in the floppy disk. When checking the floppy disk, she directly The story of being eliminated by the virus was told to Gao Yuan.

After listening to what Xiao Ai said, Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, then took out the newly purchased USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ai's hand——

"What's this?"

After taking the USB flash drive, Xiao Ai blinked and asked slightly puzzled.

"You went to Professor Hirota's house last night to retrieve the data on the floppy disk... Of course, it has not been decrypted, and the virus inside has not been triggered."

Gao Yuan explained:

"The man in black that Professor Hirota mentioned last night was actually me."
