Chapter 853 This kind of thing is definitely considered playing around.

......

At night, Ai Haibara, who had just returned from an outing with Professor Agasa, took a relaxing bath and was about to go to bed for a good rest when she suddenly received an email on her phone.

She clicked on it and her expression immediately changed.

She quietly approached the door, opened it, and glanced around—she didn't see Professor Agasa; he must be taking a shower now.

After thinking for a moment, Ai Haibara changed into a hooded outfit, quietly left Agasa's house alone, and went to Chino's house.

As soon as she reached the door, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her, quickly covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief sprayed with sleeping pills. Once she was unconscious, the figure tied her hands behind her back and casually threw her into the car.

Ai Haibara, who was sitting crookedly in the back seat, quietly opened her eyes. However, because it was dark inside the car, she couldn't see who was in the driver's seat.

She closed her eyes again. Although she had taken antidote before leaving the house, the drug this person used was quite potent. She was starting to feel dizzy, so she had to pinch her hands to keep herself from actually passing out.

Not long after, she felt the car stop, followed by the sound of the door opening. The next second, another person was thrown next to her, the door closed again, and the car started moving again.

After a moment of silence, Ai Haibara quietly opened her eyes and glanced at the person beside her.

Yes, it's Conan Edogawa.

He clearly hadn't actually fainted. Before Ai Haibara closed her eyes again, Conan opened his eyes slightly and made eye contact with her.

To prevent the driver from noticing anything, they closed their eyes in a second and quietly pretended to be unconscious.

The car drove for quite a while before finally arriving at its destination.

It was an abandoned old building area where a small section had been demolished. Because there was no light, it was very dark and even gave people a chill down their spines.

The cold wind howled, making strange and eerie sounds as if it had passed through something, and it didn't sound very clean at first glance.

Conan and Ai Haibara were carried on either side of the man's arms and led to the center of the old building area. There was a small, relatively spacious open space there compared to the other areas.

The demolished buildings were located in relatively peripheral areas.

Once they arrived at their destination, the people carrying them simply placed them on the ground.

Conan was about to open his eyes to survey his surroundings when a voice so familiar it almost gave them PTSD suddenly rang out:

"Oh dear~ Should we wake them up?"

"......"

Ai Haibara couldn't suppress her body's instincts, and her whole body stiffened for a moment.

However, Conan isn't much better off.

Although they had expected it, they still couldn't suppress their emotions when they heard the little madman's voice.

Regardless of whether anyone answered him, the cute voice rang out again the next second, "Oh dear, what did you do? How could you tie their hands like that?"

"Your feet need to be tied up too!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Afra's gentle voice rang out, "Shall we gag them and blindfold them?"

Bertrand thought for a few seconds, then waved his hand dismissively, "No need, how can they watch the show if their eyes are covered?"

Afra gently replied "okay," then took out a rope and went over to tie both of their legs tightly together, creating a knot that was impossible to break free from.

Conan could sense that there seemed to be quite a few people around, but no one made a sound, except for Bertrand's obviously cheerful humming.

"The little cat succeeded, meow meow meow~"

"Soft little lamb, baa baa~"

"Cute little dog woof woof woof~"

"The timid little mouse chirps and squeaks~"

He was thirsty, so he took a sip of water and glanced at the man next to him. "Su-chan, when do you think Asti will show up?"

“Soon, they gave him the information when they brought the two children over,” Scotland replied gently.

Bertrand clicked his tongue and a very wicked smile appeared on his face.

However, upon hearing their conversation, Conan and Ai Haibara's hearts suddenly stopped for a moment, then began to pound rapidly again.

Bertrand's real target is Behrfinger!?

In an old building a little distance away, Shuichi Akai, who had overheard the sounds through a bug, also became serious.

He quickly assembled the sniper rifle and used the scope to get a clear view of the situation.

On the surface, there were about ten people on Bertrand's side, Gin and the others were not among them, but based on his intuition, he knew that there were nearly five or six more people in the shadows. Shuichi Akai was unsure whether Gin and the others might be hiding in other sniping positions.

The FBI is investigating Pramiere's case, and if he were to call in people now, it would likely alert them.

He had some understanding of Behringer's current situation.

I wonder if Furuya knows that Behringer has been tricked by Bertrand.

But I'm afraid that guy is too busy right now.

Shuichi Akai immediately understood that Pramia's attempt to distract the police was a ruse; the real target was the Public Security Bureau, or more precisely, Rei Furuya.

But Bertrand's move may have just been a convenient use of the commotion created by Pramia, and probably saved him the bomb he had.

While Shuichi Akai was multitasking, paying attention to the situation and thinking, a dark figure quietly arrived outside the abandoned old building area.

Behrfinger put his hands on his hips, looked up at the dark sky, and sighed softly.

"Sigh~ From now on, my identity as the red team's 'white moonlight' will be offline, and I'll become a black team robot~"

He acted as if he knew it was a trap, so he just appeared in front of everyone with a swagger and strode to the center of the area.

Seeing him appear alone, Shuichi Akai glanced around and noticed another figure vaguely hidden. He calmly withdrew his gaze.

Upon seeing Behringer, Bertrand's eyes lit up, and her voice became sweeter, "Astie~ You're finally here~"

Behefinger stopped a few meters away from him, glanced at him hesitantly, and then looked at Conan and Ai Haibara, who were still "unconscious" and lying on the ground.

He glanced at Bertrand, "You didn't send someone to deliver a message to me just so I could come and play with you, did you?"

Bertrand's smile widened.

"Ugh, this is just a game to me, aren't you going to play along?"
