Conan immediately jumped back to create distance, saying, "Haibara-san is with me too. She's missing, and I have to find her!"
Inspector Megure: "..."
Good, good, it even involves missing children.
Why do people have such miserable lives?
Why are so many heinous incidents happening today?!
Why don't you really quit your job and become a detective? Let whoever wants to be a police inspector be one!
That being said, he still has to take responsibility now.
...
Let's shift our focus to Pisco.
He was quite surprised to run into Shirley on his way to deal with the gun!
And this is what Sherry looks like!
Pisco paced back and forth in the cellar, his gaze fixed on Ai Haibara's face. Finally, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly remarkable. That one has mastered more than just the art of immortality; this is clearly rejuvenation."
He had a close relationship with the Miyano couple before, and had even met Sherry when she was a child.
More importantly, he knew a lot about the inside story of drug research.
That's why he was able to immediately recognize Haibara Ai when he saw her.
Moreover, this also explains why Sherry mysteriously disappeared from the gas chamber of the research institute.
"Ha, you keep the good stuff to yourself, you won't even give us old brothers a little bit of benefit."
Pisco's resentment towards that person deepened.
They became increasingly convinced that their choice was right, and even regretted that they had started planning too late, only truly turning against their cause this year.
Karasuma Renya was truly skilled at training dogs, and he trained him and his old buddies very well.
Pisco stopped and pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and sent Gin an email:
I caught Shirley. You'll be very surprised when you see her. —Pisco
Originally, he only wanted to dethrone Gin, but now he wants to be more radical and kill Gin directly!
The extra arrangements Gin made in this operation reveal that, besides Sherry, he has another troublesome person to deal with.
As long as the enemy is strong enough, a scapegoat can be found for Gin's death.
Afterwards, by hiding Shirley, he could both interrogate her about the secret of rejuvenation and use her as a trump card to make a deal with the old man when necessary.
As for how to take down Gin...
As we just confirmed, although he's old, his marksmanship hasn't declined at all.
Vodka, that idiot, is already half-crippled and poses no threat whatsoever.
If he can lure people into the wine cellar, his chances of winning by ambushing them first are quite high.
If Ireland could be brought in, the probability of an accident could be reduced to zero.
Unfortunately, Ireland's sudden appearance is highly suspicious, so let's forget about it.
At that moment, Vermouth suddenly asked Pisco to return to the hotel immediately via the communication channel.
Since the police have already identified the person in possession of the purple handkerchief, Pisco's delayed appearance could lead to him being identified as a prime suspect, which would cause serious problems.
"Pisco, reply to my email first, hurry up!" Gin interrupted coldly.
Pisco scoffed, "I think we should wait until we've dealt with the police before we talk."
With that, he left the communication channel and took off his headset, throwing it onto the table.
The police suddenly identified the person with the purple handkerchief, which made him feel quite uneasy.
If he is indeed identified as a criminal later, he can use Sherry's whereabouts to get Gin to save him.
"Using one card for multiple purposes, a shrewd and calculating strategy."
"Gin, there's still a lot you can learn from me."
Pisco is gone, and the cellar door is completely locked.
He had only been gone a short while when Ai Haibara slowly woke up.
Inhaling a large amount of ether in a short period of time gave her an unbearable headache, and she felt completely disoriented.
"Where am I..." Ai Haibara rubbed her eyes and looked around.
Her first instinct was to call Lin Che, but his phone was nowhere to be found.
However, the detective's armband was retained because of its concealment.
"Hey, Edogawa, can you hear me?"
"Where are you?!" Conan's voice immediately rang out. "Why can't my tracking glasses locate you?"
The little girl suddenly looked at the black laptop on the table behind her and said, "The radar signal frequency should be blocked."
In this day and age, radar and communication jammers are not commonly used by civilians, and Pisco would not block his own communication signals.
Blocking radar signals indicates that the person who kidnapped them does not want to be located by the organization in real time, and also has the authority to take such measures without arousing suspicion from the organization.
Looks like he's a big shot.
They fled back and forth, cautiously.
As a result, he was caught on his first attempt to take the initiative.
I am indeed quite useless, and I don't have the fate to completely break free from the organization.
Unable to contact Lin Che, he had no chance to give his last words.
Then please have Conan relay the message.
Chapter 114 Laughing While Brushing
Ai Haibara took out her USB drive from her pocket and then turned on the computer on the table.
This computer doesn't even have a login password.
She plugged in the USB drive, and sure enough, the Dark Baron virus was not triggered.
Not only was a large amount of data displayed in its entirety before her, but she also successfully logged into the organization's intranet and completely completed the research data on drug A.
"Haibara, say something! Where are you? I'm coming to save you right away."
"No need to come. It's useless. Even if you manage to rescue me, this face that's already completely exposed will only bring disaster to everyone."
Ai Haibara was surprised to find herself so calm.
"Kudo, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. This is all the important information about Drug A. I'm going to read it to you now."
"APTX-4869, its full name and meaning are..."
First, finish what is important to others, so as to avoid being called a murderer who has killed countless people, and atone for your sins as much as possible.
Finally, I did something important to myself—I said goodbye to Lin Che, this special person, and shared my thoughts.
Ai Haibara was talking non-stop, her tone steady and her words clear.
But she still had a feeling that she had already fallen silent.
Conan in the hotel had an even more unpleasant expression.
No matter the reason, he could not accept someone giving up their life "in front of" him.
He firmly believes that life is of paramount importance, and that no matter how difficult or complex a problem may be, a solution can always be found.
He insisted on coming this time; Ai Haibara didn't want to come at all in the first place.
On Moonshadow Island, he also "personally" killed someone.
And now, Ai Haibara will also give her life because of her choice.
He will not accept it, much less agree to it!
"Haibara!" Conan shouted at his detective badge, "The police are here, and I've narrowed down the suspects. We'll find them soon."
His tone was firm yet pleading: "Calm down. Since you haven't been moved yet, it means the people who took you haven't sent the message out."
“As long as we cut off the source of intelligence at its root, we can continue to hide our identities as before.”
"and......"
Conan's brain raced as he tried to find reasons for Ai Haibara to live.
"The professor is still waiting for you to come home, and Ayumi and the others also hope to see you at school tomorrow."
"And Mr. Lin, his phone is off and he's deserted. Don't you want to know who he really is and what he's thinking?"
Ai Haibara's explanation of the drug stopped.
Has Lin Che deserted again?
She knew very well that Lin Che hadn't deserted at the Twin Towers skyscraper last time; instead, he had gone to confront the organization directly and even personally removed Gin's hat.
It seems that Lin Che may have already clashed with the organization.
For some reason, just thinking about this lessened Ai Haibara's feelings of escapism and despair, and relieved the tightness in her chest.
She opened her mouth, chose to copy the necessary data into the USB drive, and then stood up.
"This place looks like a wine cellar. There are hotel staff uniforms and a trolley on the floor. They probably used this trolley to get me out."
"The presence of a fireplace indicates that the wine cellar is not underground and is not far from the hotel."
Conan's head was struck by lightning.
"The wine cellar... could you check if there's a Chinese liquor called 'Bai Gan' inside?"
Ai Haibara asked in confusion, "There's a bottle of baijiu, but what's the use of this kind of liquor?"
While observing the police's actions, Conan quickly said, "I forgot to tell you before, I once turned back into Shinichi Kudo. At that time, I drank baijiu while I had a cold."
Ai Haibara was shocked. "Are you kidding me? Alcohol is just alcohol, how could it be..."
Conan interrupted, "I'm serious! Even though you don't have a cold, drinking some baijiu might still help."
"Now that you've been recognized, it doesn't matter whether you're a child or an adult. Having your original body will give you a better chance of escaping."
"Didn't you just say there was a fireplace? You can try climbing out from the fireplace."
at the same time.
Gin really wanted to shoot Pisco right now, but he hid information at the last minute.
"Brother, could it be that old bastard Pisco has sensed something and is just making up a lie to fool us?" Vodka already knew that the person wanted to eliminate Pisco.
The reporter only sent the photo to Karasuma Renya, but now the photo has been published in newspapers across the country.
This arrangement not only allows them to eliminate Pisco, who has already turned against them, but also helps Gin cover his tracks.
Pisco's social status was so great that it attracted all the firepower.
Gin exhaled a deep puff of smoke. "He couldn't possibly cheat on something like this; he couldn't afford the consequences."
Vodka muttered, "But where would he hide Sherry? He's already back at the hotel, so judging by the time, he shouldn't have hidden her far away."
Gin smirked coldly. "The old man will definitely hide Sherry in the safest place, probably a temporary hideout he found in advance."
"We located his computer; it's said that this elderly man has recently become very enthusiastic about using computers."
Vodka quickly ran back to the car to operate the system, then immediately ran out again, saying, "Brother, we can't locate it; the signal is blocked."
Gin's thoughts raced. "Identify our own people, and find those who can't be identified."
When there are many people, it's like deploying troops in battle formation. Technology can be used to better allocate personnel and arrange their positions.
Each person has a number. By identifying those who cannot be located, we can pinpoint the signal jamming area and thus find Pisco's temporary base.
Vodka quickly did as instructed and within half a minute, he had identified the area.
Gin looked at the map on the electronic screen and sneered. He then tapped on a building and said, "Let's go check out this wine cellar."
Signal shielding is a spherical area, and the center point must be the source of the interfering signal, which is very easy to find.
