Chapter 161 Magno's Family

Haibara Ai emerged from the water and climbed onto the shore.

The sound of pursuing footsteps echoed here and there, and it was impossible to tell the direction.

"Follow me." said the man on the shore.

Conan Edogawa was put on the shore. He looked at the man warily, but saw Haibara Ai following him.

"Habara...?"

"It's him." Haibara Ai said without turning her head.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Conan Edogawa's mind and he understood something. He was shocked, but he didn't dare to relax.

After the man led them to avoid the pursuit, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell accurately on Conan Edogawa.

Conan Edogawa clenched his fingers, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Want to ask who he is?

Did this person know Huibara and guess his identity?

"you……"

Edogawa Conan took a deep breath, his heart almost beating out of his chest.

The FBI, wouldn't be interested in a drug that can make people smaller?

"Do you know Yu Renling?" asked the FBI's ace.

——Huh?

Conan Edogawa never expected this problem.

He was stunned for a moment before answering, "Ah... yes."

After getting the answer, the man turned to look at the little girl who said the strange words: "Who are you?"

"......?" Edogawa Conan.

So this person simply didn't recognize that Haibara is Miyano Shiho?

Isn't it more important for a strange little girl to say "it's him" than to know Yu Renling herself?

Huihara Ai wiped the water off her face, "Miyano, Shiho."

Akai Shuichi was stunned.

After a few seconds, he asked, "What happened? Why did you become like this?"

What a high level of acceptance! Edogawa Conan thought silently.

Haibara Ai briefly explained what happened and revealed that her sister was killed by Magno.

Akai Shuichi was silent for a long time, then said, "I'm sorry."

Huihara Ai thought of the sadness and pain she had experienced during those days and nights, but she did not cry. Instead, she was very calm: "Then do something, FBI."

"I will do it."

Something flashed in Haibara Ai's eyes, but considering that Conan Edogawa was here, she didn't say anything.

Conan Edogawa felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but now was not the time to think about it: "There is a high possibility of mass murder during the prayer ceremony, Mr. Akai, we have to stop it!"

"The ceremony will be at 6pm." Akai Shuichi took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "Four more hours."

Edogawa Conan: "!!!"

He widened his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. How could an FBI agent have the same pocket watch as Yu Renling? !

But, that's the fact, given the distance between him and Akai Shuichi, it's impossible for him to be wrong!

That pocket watch is exactly the same as Yu Renling's, except that the pattern on the case is opposite!

Conan Edogawa was still in doubt and didn't ask, but Shuichi Akai noticed his abnormality first.

His eyes changed slightly: "Boy, have you seen this pocket watch?"

Edogawa Conan hesitated for a moment and said, "I've seen it on another person."

"Haren Ling?"

Conan Edogawa: "You know?"

Akai Shuichi carefully put away his pocket watch: "They are a pair."

A pair?!

Wait…wait!

Conan Edogawa's heart suddenly started beating wildly. He felt that he had discovered an incredible truth: "Mr. Akai, are you Hane-ni's younger brother?!" Although the last names are different.

"?" Akai Shuichi.

"..." Haibara Ai looked at Edogawa Conan as if he were a fool.

Conan Edogawa quickly explained: "Because Brother Hane said that his pocket watch was given by his family. I asked if it was a brother, and he said, 'He should want to be a brother'..."

Family? Huiyuan Ai was slightly startled.

The family that Magno mentioned...?

Akai Shuichi lowered his eyes: "Haren Ling... is that what you said?"

Taking in the expressions of the two people beside him, Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment, then said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Hane cares a lot about that pocket watch. I often see him carrying it with him. Sometimes he would take it out and stare at it in a daze..."

"I always felt that he was hiding a lot of things... That day, I asked him why he told others that he had no brothers, and he said - because you gave up on him."

The man's eyes narrowed suddenly.

His heart seemed to tremble with these words. Although he was in a cave isolated from the outside world, he suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice.

"A Xiu."

That person is at home, at school, on the way home from school, in the alley of parting, in the sunlight of reunion, in the airport embrace, in the heavy snow, in the rain in Tokyo, in the moonlight in Hokkaido...

In many places, people shouted: "A Xiu."

"Mr. Akai?" The little boy's voice came from far away: "Are you really the family of Brother Hane?"

Shuichi Akai had difficulty breathing and was unable to speak.

In all matters, he could calmly find the best solution, even if it meant sacrifices, except... except when it came to that person.

Miyagawa Ryo, Miyagawa Ryo…this person wouldn't let him go.

Every time he thought he could harden his heart and do the right thing, this person would shake his heart in unexpected ways.

"Mr. Akai?"

"Mr. Akai!"

Akai Shuichi said coldly: "No."

"ah?"

"Yu Renling and I are not family."

Conan Edogawa: "But..."

"If you must say, we are the enemy." Akai Shuichi turned his back and said, "Don't trust him too much."

…

Morofushi Kagemitsu conveyed Edogawa Conan's question to Miyagawa Ryo.

"Mr. Akai replied..."

Miyakawa Ling: "Stop, someone is coming."

Morofushi Kagemitsu stopped talking and followed Akai Shuichi and the other two helplessly.

As for Miyagawa Ling, he was walking out of the police station on Hale Island.

After he was taken to the police station, his identity was confirmed and he was released.

"Mr. Haneto!"

Miyakawa Ling heard the voice and looked over: "Ms. Yage? Are you waiting for me?"

Not long after the police arrived at the scene, Yakasumi woke up, but she did not go to the hospital or go home to rest. Instead, as a shrine maiden from Hale Island, she asked to follow the police to confirm the situation.

The police agreed.

Yage Cheng smiled faintly: "Yes, I have heard from the police officer that the man is a dangerous person. You shot him to save me. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss Yage. Aren't you in a hurry to prepare for the celebration and ceremony?" Miyagawa Ling walked up to her and the two of them walked out along the road together.

"What needs to be prepared has already been prepared."

Miyakawa Ling glanced at her sideways and said, "Ms. Yage, you should be quite young, right?"

Yage Cheng was stunned for a moment: "I am seventeen years old."

"Do you know me?"

Yage Cheng looked up in surprise, but saw that the young man had a gentle expression, with only a hint of confusion between his eyebrows.

She nodded, then shook her head: "I don't know you, but I've heard of you."

"Can I go this way? I can't be seen by others." Yage Cheng pointed to the slightly dark path.

Miyakawa Ling followed her, and Yakasumi continued, "There is a serious genetic disease in our family. There is no other way except to pray to the Sea God to save a life. But my disease is more serious than before. My sister... the original witch candidate of this generation, she felt sorry for me and sent me to Tokyo, wanting me to receive long-term treatment in a big city."

"My parents were against it, but my sister supported me, so I settled down in Tokyo and went to high school there."

"high school?"

The sun on Helai Island is very strong, but this place is surrounded by trees and is very cool. Modern buildings are becoming less and less common, making it look like an undeveloped original road section.

"Yes, I met a friend there." Yakasumi said, "She mentioned you to me once."

"Do we know each other?"

"No, you don't know each other. She just saw you by chance." Yakasumi stopped and smiled a little wider: "When she was climbing out of the sewer."

Miyagawa Rei: "... Sera Masaki?"

"Yes, she told me your last name and your appearance. Your eyes are really special. I knew it was you at first sight. I was sure of it when I saw your name."

Yakasumi took out her phone, and the screen saver was a photo of her and Sera Masumi: "Masumi said that you are the kindhearted man who helped her escape from the sewer! She will remember you forever!"

Miyakawa Ling chuckled: "After all, getting stuck in a sewer hole is not something that will happen many times in this life, right?"

Yakasumi looked up, the sunlight fell on her face, and at this moment she had some of the liveliness of a high school student: "I think so."

Because of this movement, she didn't pay attention to her feet and almost tripped over a rock.

Miyakawa Ling helped her up and said, "But isn't your sister the shrine maiden? Why are you back?"

"My sister... passed away some time ago."

"Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter!" Yage Cheng was still smiling: "Sister is not really dead, she just went to serve Lord Poseidon! Our Yage family is different from others. The Poseidon has mercy on us and will not let us really die. The Poseidon just likes sister too much, so he wants to take her away earlier!"

She paused: "Compared to that... I am the one abandoned by Poseidon..."

"Do you think so?" asked Miyakawa.

"I can only blame myself. I shouldn't have betrayed Poseidon and gone to Tokyo for treatment... But I won't give up on myself. As long as I do well enough, Poseidon will accept me and let me reunite with everyone!" When Yakasumi said this, the cloud-like gentle smile on her face froze. She suddenly stopped and said coldly:

"So, I will eliminate anyone who might hinder the realization of my wishes."

Before he finished speaking, a group of people wearing black robes worn by seagod priests walked out from the surrounding woods.

Miyagawa Ling was surrounded.

"Police consultant from Tokyo, you shouldn't be here no matter what." Yakasumi gave the order: "Catch him! We just need a sacrifice!"

The man in black robe approached Miyakawa Ling, who stood there without moving: "Sacrifice?"

Yakasumi turned around with some sarcasm, and the hand at his side was revealed, holding Miyagawa Ryo's pistol.

Her black hair covered her eyes. She curled her lips slightly and raised her gun: "To realize your wish, you need money, power, and something equivalent."

"When someone realizes a wish, someone else has to pay the price... Mr. Consultant, don't you understand?"

"This is the fairness given by Lord Poseidon!"
