Chapter 97 Meeting
Just as the children were chatting animatedly, Hatori Yui came back.
Yoshida Ayumi and the others immediately turned around and shouted enthusiastically, "Brother Weiyi is back!"
Yui Hatori was a little surprised to see the children, but after a moment's thought, he realized they were here to see Shizue. He smiled as he changed his shoes and said, "Thank you for coming to see Shizue. I just bought some fruit. I'll wash it and we can eat it together."
Children: “Thank you~”
Hatori Yui walked in from the entrance, and Huibara Ai in the corner finally saw his appearance clearly. Her pupils suddenly shrank.
Why is this person here?!
She immediately lowered her head and hid sideways behind Edogawa Conan.
Edogawa Conan turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huiyuan Ai asked in a deep voice: "How do you know this person?"
Conan Edogawa explained: "He is a student at the University of Tokyo. I met him at a party. Genta and the others met him after school one day."
Huiyuan Ai's pupils trembled slightly, and she muttered to herself: "How could it be? Why would they let someone out to study? Did I recognize the wrong person? No, I must not have recognized the wrong person."
Seeing her expression was not right, Edogawa Conan suddenly felt a little flustered. He asked hesitantly, "Do you... know him?"
Ai Haibara glanced at Hatori Yuiichi in the kitchen and whispered, "I've seen this person in the organization."
"What?!" When Edogawa Conan heard this, his head felt like it was hit by a hammer and he went blank for a moment.
Is Hatori Yui really from the organization?! Gin keeps showing up here, is he looking for him?
Edogawa Conan couldn't believe it and asked again: "Are you sure it's him?"
Huihara Ai nodded slightly: "If it was just him, I might not be sure. But his brother looks familiar to me." She saw Edogawa Conan start to bite his fingers anxiously, and then said, "However, they can't be considered members of the organization."
Edogawa Conan turned to look at her and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Huibara Ai recalled for a moment and said, "Before I officially took over my parents' research, I studied under the scientists of the organization and took turns to be their assistant. One time, a teacher took me to a secret base to do physical examinations on dozens of people, and these two brothers were among them. The younger brother was still young at the time and is now sick, so I didn't recognize him at first. As for that Hatori Yui, his appearance hasn't changed much."
Edogawa Conan frowned and pondered: "Then what are their identities?"
Huiyuan Ai shook her head and said, "I don't know. But..." She glanced at Edogawa Conan and said softly, "In the organization's research laboratory, besides the staff, there are only experimental samples. The only difference is the projects they follow."
Edogawa Conan's eyes flashed slightly.
Huiyuan Ai continued: "I don't know their specific identities, but the instructor at the time said, 'They are all very precious.' In that place, that was not a good thing to say."
"Precious?" Edogawa Conan muttered to himself, his face turning grim. He had known that the Black Organization would conduct human experiments when researching drugs, but he just didn't want to think about it. But this time, encountering two victims at once, both of whom were children at the time, was a bit too much for him.
Huiyuan Ai said: "I don't know if he still remembers me, please help me block it later."
Edogawa Conan nodded absentmindedly.
Seeing him like this, Huiyuan Ai comforted him, "Look at the bright side. They appear here, so they shouldn't be subject to human experiments, right?"
Edogawa Conan tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth.
They both knew it was just self-consolation.
If the experimental samples are no longer needed for experiments, they either lose their value or have other uses. And looking at the Black Organization's style of doing things, we know that they will definitely make the best use of them.
Conan Edogawa suppressed his emotions for a moment and began to analyze rationally: Hatori Shizue was thrown out because he was sick and the organization was unwilling to save him. What about Hatori Yui? Was he assigned to another mission by Gin?
Wait a moment!
An idea suddenly struck Conan Edogawa. The organization's latest mission was to get close to the Higashino family! So, Hatori Yui had already succeeded. He was already Higashino Hiroshi's boyfriend!
He approached Dong Yexi just for the mission?!
Edogawa Conan thought about this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. But then he found that the time didn't match.
Even before the mission was issued, Hatori Yuiichi and Higashino Higashi had already been together. He still remembers going to a hot spring hotel, where they were the only ones staying in a room, sharing food with each other. At the time, Mr. Amuro seemed shocked by their relationship. Therefore, the organization was unaware of their relationship.
By the way, Mr. Amuro already knew Hatori Yui's identity, but pretended not to know him.
Mr. Amuro, how much information have you concealed?!
Conan Edogawa sorted through the available intelligence and came up with a hypothesis: the organization was unaware of Hatori Yuiichi's relationship with Higashino Higashi, so they didn't include Hatori Yuiichi in the plan to infiltrate the Higashino family. After the mission failed, the organization discovered their relationship, and Hatori Yuiichi was forced to take on the mission. Gin had come here to exchange information.
He felt that this guess was pretty close. However...
Conan Edogawa looked at Hatori Yuiichi, who was preparing a fruit plate, with a deep look in his eyes. Are your feelings for Higashino Hiroshi real?
Hatori Yui prepared a fruit plate and brought it out, asking everyone to feel free.
Of course, Kojima Genta and the others were not polite. After saying thank you, they started eating.
Haibara Ai huddled silently in the corner, attracting Hatori Yui's attention. Before he could speak to her, Edogawa Conan leaned close to his ear and asked, "How far have you and Tono-san progressed?"
Hatori Yui:......
He looked at Edogawa Conan with a look of confusion and asked, "Why are you so concerned about our affairs?"
Edogawa Conan smiled: "Because Brother Tono is Ran's cousin."
Hatori Yuiichi: So what? What does this have to do with you?
Edogawa Conan understood his eyes, and he said half-seriously: "If you bully Brother Dongye, I will definitely tell Sister Xiaolan, and then seek revenge on you with her."
Hatori Yui smiled and shook his head: "How could I bully him?" He raised his hand and flicked Edogawa Conan's forehead, "Little boy, don't worry so much, be careful of premature aging."
Conan Edogawa covered his forehead, thinking: Another expression. Whenever he mentioned Higashino Xi, his eyes always showed tenderness. It seemed that he still had feelings for Higashino Xi. However, when this feeling was mixed with deception, what would become of their future?
After finishing the fruit plate, it was time for the children to go home. Before they left, Hatori Yui noticed Haibara Ai again.
Haibara Ai shrank back and hid behind Yoshida Ayumi.
Yoshida Ayumi was a little confused, but she still helped her friend explain: "Ai is a little shy, but she will be fine after she comes a few more times."
Hatori Yuiichi smiled and said, "You're welcome to come again next time."
After the children left, Hatori Yui closed the door and his expression instantly became serious.
That girl looks familiar.
If he remembered correctly, he had seen a photo of this child at his aunt's place. But the child in the photo was Miyano Shiho, a chemist trained by the organization since childhood, codenamed Shirley. However, she should be eighteen years old this year.
Hatori Yui thought he might have recognized the wrong person. He took a step and suddenly stopped.
What if...what if he wasn't mistaken? What if she really was Miyano Shiho? Does her current state mean the experiment was successful?
A sudden surge of joy rushed into Hatori Yuichi's brain, and his body began to tremble slightly.
If the experiment is successful, then no one will be in trouble!
But after the joy faded, he began to wonder. Why would the organization release someone as talented as Miyano Shiho? Did she escape? Did the organization not know the experiment was successful?
He lowered his head and his eyes gradually became dim.
No matter what, he had to first confirm whether the little girl was Miyano Shiho and whether the "rejuvenation" drug had been successfully researched.

Conan Edogawa hurried into the Poirot Café, grabbed Toru Amuro's sleeve and ducked into a corner. He forced Toru Amuro to squat down and whispered, "I'm asking you, is Hatori Yui a member of the organization?"
Amuro Toru looked surprised and asked, "What are you talking about? How come I don't know?"
Edogawa Conan gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Amuro, it's pointless for you to pretend. I already know his identity!"
Upon hearing this, Amuro Toru put away his surprised expression and said, "Then why are you asking me?"
Edogawa Conan said angrily: "I just want to confirm it again." He asked in a low voice, "How much do you know about him?"
Amuro Toru stroked his chin and said, "Not much."
"Really?" Edogawa Conan looked at him questioningly.
Amuro Toru smiled bitterly and said, "Really. Vermouth asked me to forge his identity. That time at the hot spring hotel was the first time I met him."
"No wonder you looked a little strange at that time." Edogawa Conan frowned.
"However, his identity should be quite special. After all, Vermouth and Gin have different attitudes towards him." Amuro Toru said, "Vermouth is indulgent, while Gin is tolerant."
Edogawa Conan's eyes flashed: "I just received news that Hatori Yui may have been subjected to human experiments."
"That's what I inferred." Seeing that Edogawa Conan knew a lot, Amuro Toru no longer kept it a secret. He said, "Vermouth said that he and his brother won't live long."
Conan Edogawa was shocked again. He just found out about Hatori Yui's identity, and the next second he learned that he was going to die soon. He didn't know whether to be angry or not.
He pondered, "Is he doing Rum's previous mission now?"
"You mean approaching the Tono family? There's been no news from Rum yet. I wonder if he's given up. Hatori's only mission was from Gin." Amuro Toru sneered, "If it's completed in the end, it'll be Gin's credit."
"Is there competition between rum and gin?" asked Conan Edogawa.
"It wasn't so obvious before, but recently this kind of thing has become more frequent." Amuro Toru frowned slightly, "And it's not just Gin. The organization's task arrangements seem to be getting chaotic, and there have been cases of exceeding authority." For example, this time stealing intelligence was obviously not Gin's business, but he intervened and arranged for Hatori Yui to contact Higashino Hiroshi in advance.
The Black Organization has a clear division of authority within its ranks, and overstepping authority is practically impossible. However, recent instances of this happening have been recurring, causing discontent within the higher-ups. Take Rum, for example. He's already deeply dissatisfied with Gin, and if things continue like this, the two might end up in a bitter feud.
However, Toru Amuro is happy to see it happen.
The more chaos there is within the organization, the better it is for him. If things get out of hand one day, both sides will suffer, and that would bring the organization one step closer to collapse.
