Chapter 181 What Happened

…

Kiel was ready for action.

To be precise, although this action was based on her subjective will, the start time of the action was not decided by her.

Smirnoff was a very strong man, he was quiet and cold, and soon after Kiel agreed to cooperate, he informed Kiel of his action plan without asking for her opinion.

But Gil was sure of his determination to kill Magno, because Smirnoff had a stubborn will to achieve his goal at any cost. So Gil acquiesced to his plan.

Kiel knew that after getting rid of Magnus, Smirnoff would also be an extremely dangerous enemy in the future.

But that's all in the future. Now Gil just wants to use Smirnoff to kill Magno and avenge his father.

Kiel carefully read the action plan that Smirno gave her. In this operation, in addition to her, Smirno also recruited several codenamed members. Some of these people had grudges against Magno, and some were from Smirno's faction. At a glance, there were no suspicious characters, and there was no need to worry about them informing on others.

Of course, there are no absolutely trustworthy people, and Kiel doesn't really trust them.

As time went by and the deadline for Smirnoff approached, Kiel became more and more nervous.

——Can she really kill Magno?

That Magno who holds a high position in the organization and is feared by everyone?

If it failed, Magno would kill her on the spot without even having to explain to the organization.

——But I can’t care about that anymore.

The cooperation with Smirnoff is a rare opportunity. If we miss it this time, we don’t know when the next time will come.

Kiel firmly believed in the victory of the Light, but sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, with people like Magno around, could she really see the destruction of the organization in her lifetime?

The more you see and the more you know, the more worried, angry and confused you become.

Therefore, even for her own mission, she must seize the opportunity and kill Magno.

…

Huihara Ai closed the book in her hand.

She straightened the folded corner of the book and asked without looking up, "Are you okay?"

Edogawa Conan shook his head.

Huiyuan Ai didn't hear the answer, she looked over and saw a depressed look: "What did you ask Hanering?"

Conan Edogawa twirled his pen absentmindedly: "Nothing."

Huiyuan Ai's eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "You came to me just to chat."

Conan Edogawa said nothing.

A moment of silence.

After a while, the sound of raindrops hitting the window broke the silence.

Huiyuan sighed: "You ask."

Conan Edogawa looked at her in surprise: "Are you willing to tell me?"

"I know more than you, but... maybe it's better not to know."

An idea suddenly occurred to Conan Edogawa: "You refused to tell me before, did Hanering not allow you to tell me?"

Huiyuan Ai paused for a second, then nodded: "He looked for me, but how did you guess it?"

"No wonder you were so repulsive to him before, and even a little afraid of him." Edogawa Conan: "Didn't you ask me what I asked Yu Renling? I asked him if I was your target?"

“…”

"He admitted it."

"..." Huihara Ai's eyes were very subtle, with shock and admiration: "I'm not surprised that you guessed this, but you actually ran over and asked him? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"

Conan Edogawa was silent for a moment: "Thinking back, I was a little scared, but at the time I wasn't scared at all. All I could think about was getting an answer."

Haibara Ai looked at him with even more curiosity, but in her curiosity there was a sense of "naturalness" that she herself did not understand, as if to say, it's not surprising that it's that person.

He just has that kind of strange charm. Even if he does something bad, people will unconsciously make excuses and reasons for him, thinking that he is still trustworthy...until he can no longer deceive them, they will admit that they have been deceived by him.

"If you don't want me to collect your body, don't be so reckless next time."

After all, the person in front of you may not be the one you can truly trust.

"It's your turn to explain to me!" Conan Edogawa said impatiently.

Haibara Ai put the book on the table, lost in her memories, and thought about how to tell the story.

First meeting, vigilance, liking, familiarity, cooperation, like friends... and then, all the pain afterwards.

That is the whole story between them.

But just from these, she knew that he was covered in wounds, had been hypnotized by drugs, was targeted by the organization for drug experiments, and was later forcibly injected with a lot of drugs.

He is strong, confident, and wise, but because of this, he is not trusted by the organization and is always on guard.

The organization doesn't want his loyalty, only his ability.

She was imprisoned in a small research institute, and she had no idea how she had gotten to where she is today in such a bloody organization.

However, Shuichi Akai's emotions have already revealed another side of him - a side that she has never seen, that is, he is not relaxed and happy in front of his friends.

Friends also misunderstood him, alienated him, and even developed hostility and murderous intentions towards him.

Some things, when recalled, become so heavy that the memory is covered with a layer of gray. Haibara Ai feels sad. Miyagawa Rei has not stopped her from telling the truth to Edogawa Conan recently, so she takes this as permission. She wants to speak it out and doesn't want to see another person repeating this process.

"Yu Renling, he actually..."

Haibara Ai's expression suddenly turned blank, and she fell headfirst onto the sofa.

Conan Edogawa's pupils shrank: "Haibara!"

He hurriedly checked on Haibara Ai, only to find that she had fainted!

What's going on?

Conan Edogawa's phone rang.

He took a look and found that it was Mao Lilan who hit him.

"Conan, where are you?" Mao Lilan said with a smile, "Just now I..."

An unexpected event occurred!

Before she finished speaking, the girl suddenly raised her voice: "Dad!"

"What's wrong?" Edogawa Conan was surprised.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Maori Kogoro's voice was very weak: "I... guess..."

Conan Edogawa was a little panicked: "Uncle Maori? Xiaolan, what happened?"

Before he got an answer, the call was disconnected.

When Conan Edogawa looked at Haibara Ai again, he found that the girl's face was covered in cold sweat and her body was frighteningly cold.

He quickly dialed 120, and just after he said two sentences, the operator said: "I already understand the situation. Please don't worry. This condition is not life-threatening. The ambulance will arrive within 40 minutes..."

"Forty minutes?!"

"Yes, because there are too many sudden illnesses today, we don't have enough personnel and vehicles, but support has been arranged from above, please understand. I can assure you again that this disease is not life-threatening..."

After hanging up the phone, Conan Edogawa was already sweating profusely.

Sudden illness? What kind of illness can occur multiple times in a short period of time?

He suddenly thought of something, "Dr. Agasa, please take care of Huibara. I'll go back first!"

Dr. Agasa, who had just come in, said "hmm" without knowing how to react.

Conan Edogawa ran all the way to the Mori Detective Office, pushed open the door and rushed in.

In the tidy room tidied by the girl, the host's voice on TV was gentle and pleasant, the lights were on, and the air was full of the smell of alcohol.

But if you take two steps closer, you can see that the man holding the bottle is lying on the ground, his face is pale, and the red wine is spilled on the ground like blood.

Conan Edogawa's breathing stagnated, and then he suddenly shouted: "Xiaolan?!"

No one answered, he became even more panicked and ran to Mao Lilan's room to check.

There's no one inside.

"Xiaolan!"

There was no one in the whole house, and she had not fainted in some unknown corner.

Conan Edogawa couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or more worried.

Just as he was about to call the emergency number again and report Kogoro Mouri's location, he saw Ran Mouri hurried in from outside.

"Xiaolan...Sister! Where have you been?!"

Mao Lilan was surprised: "Conan? You're back?"

She walked in and the person behind her appeared, and Edogawa Conan knew what she was going to do.

Miyagawa Ling walked to the side of Maori Kogoro, briefly checked the situation, and then said: "Don't worry, except for the low temperature, everything else is normal. I will take Mr. Maori to the hospital now."

Mao Lilan said with tears in her eyes: "That's great. The emergency line would take a long time... Fortunately, you are here, Ling, otherwise I would be panicking."

Miyakawa Ling's voice was gentle but powerful: "Nothing will happen."

Conan Edogawa clenched his fist. After this happened, the first person Xiaolan thought of was no longer him...

But he was not in a position to blame anything, or feel reconciled to it.

Even though he knew the person in front of him was not a good person, he also felt a little relieved after seeing Xiaolan obviously relaxed.

Yu Renling's target is him, and he has saved him so many times... So, he will still help him until he achieves his goal, right?

He took a deep breath and said, "Ai has fainted too. I'm sorry to trouble Brother Hane."

"What?! It's Ai?" Mouri Ran was shocked.

Miyachuan Ling asked: "How is Xiao Ai doing?"

"Almost the same as Uncle Maori."

Miyagawa Rei drove, picked up Huihara Ai on the way, and went to the hospital.

"How could this happen? Ai and her father fainted at the same time, and their symptoms were similar?" Mao Li Ran said worriedly and fearfully.

Conan Edogawa didn't figure it out either, but that phone call gave him some inspiration: "I just called the emergency number, and the operator said that there have been many sudden illnesses like this today..."

Miyakawa Ling's eyes flashed coldly: "Man-made."

Edogawa Conan thought so too, but when he heard Miyagawa Rei say it, his heart skipped a beat!

Subconsciously, he felt that what Miyakawa said was basically true: "But how can so many people get sick at the same time?"

Miyakawa Ling had already guessed the answer, but he didn't say it.

The young detective waited for a moment and observed the other party's expression himself.

But the young man glanced at the rearview mirror and said in an ambiguous tone, "There won't be a next time."

ah?

Edogawa Conan didn't understand.

When they arrived at the hospital, the moment Conan Edogawa jumped out of the car, he was shocked by the convoy and the crowd in front of him.

The hospital entrance was already crowded with people, and cars were parked far away, seriously affecting traffic.

"What should I do..."

“Is it true that no one will die?”

"My daughter was playing with building blocks when she suddenly fainted!"

"Mom was in good health. How could she collapse in the house without any warning?"

"His body is so cold..."

"Oh my God, what happened?"

“…”

The more Edogawa Conan listened, the more horrified he felt.

The whole world seemed to have changed overnight.
