Chapter 132 Main Thread
324.
The few of them finally dispersed before Mao Lilan came out to look for someone.
Rei Furuya called Kenji Hagiwara and woke him up from his dream, urging him to come over to take over Morobushi Kagemitsu's shift, and ordered him to go back to sleep for not taking good care of his young child.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was not used to causing trouble for others, but before he could open his mouth, he was completely blocked by Fōtani Rei's words, "Do you want Saori to see you torturing yourself?"
Conan Edogawa apologized to several people for his behavior again, and after hesitating, he said like a little adult: "There is only one truth, but before that, we still need enough evidence."
——All doubts can never become truth until evidence is found.
What's more, everyone present, except Akai Shuichi, hoped that this day would come later.
Just as the definition of defense mechanism, people always consciously or unconsciously exclude the emotions they are unwilling to bear and pretend that nothing has happened.
No matter what, as long as Chiyodani Toru is not awake, all their discussions are just fantasies.
Shuichi Akai once again confessed that the two had shared the information with him after questioning the police from the Investigation Division 1, but this time he wisely did not mention the source of Shinsou's information.
Although he was beaten, he had achieved his goal.
Before leaving, several people went into Chiyodani Toru's ward to see him for the last time.
The sleeping man has a pale face and a thin body; but his facial features, which are combined in an especially comfortable way, make him look handsome and gentle. In every way, he perfectly fits the image of a policeman in the minds of the people, and he deserves to be the "Star of Justice" of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Furukaya Rei brushed aside Chiyodani Toru's long hair and felt that he was more and more similar to Shinsou.
The same mystery, desolation, and ill-fated fate.
Granmani's hatred for Shinsou is obvious to the entire organization. Even the boss can only separate them forcefully. And this - could it be the reason why the brother and sister don't want to meet?
But it doesn't make sense. Why does Chiyotani Toru hate his sister? What happened during the month he was missing that made him become like this?
Fūya Rei thought for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion. Instead, he was scared and broke into a cold sweat.
——How did he subconsciously think that Granmani was Chiyotani Toru? !
This realization made Furutani Rei realize deeply that his mental state seemed to be no better than Morobushi Kagemitsu's.
But the seeds of doubt have been planted. In order to reverse this impression and not let Chiyotani Toru lose his sister and feel their suspicion and distrust in the future, Furutani Rei feels that he must at least do something.
Fortunately, he now has a great advantage. The organization still trusts him and he can obtain information purposefully.
The first step is to find someone...
Everyone knows that Granmani is a newcomer brought up by Gin.
Fōtani Rei's purple-gray eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of color flashed in the darkness.

[Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy!! You FBI and the police are going to make such a big deal out of this? I was almost speechless because of the knife! (The wolf crawls away)]
[There is so much information in these two episodes... The FBI, the police and Director Ke are in a confrontation, the red team's mystery man attribute is directly invalidated, Conan is exposed, Shinsou's sister is repeatedly whipped, Akai Shuichi is repeatedly beaten, and then, and then... My Toru, oooooooooooo! I'm already heartbroken before the exposure! ]
[Ugh-ah!! Akai Shuichi you have no heart!! Zero and Hiro were too gentle, how could he say such cold words with a mouth of 37 degrees Celsius? And it's all in the past, in the past you balls! (Impotent rage)]
[Is this what a purposeful person is? As long as the goal is achieved, emotions and life are completely unimportant. It's amazing that he's even darker than Gin...Speaking of which, Shinso is too awesome. She even protected Akai...I didn't realize that the love hotel was a test at all (dumbfounded)]
[The directors in Conan are still awesome, and they are all so ruthless, but this also proves that no matter how hard the sister tries, she can't predict people's hearts, and she can't predict that Akai Shuichi can be so cruel, and run away without even notifying them... Fists are hard!!]
[One second I was so angry at Akai that I vomited blood, and the next second I was laughing at #图：Akai Shuichi and Conan lined up to be scolded#. But before I could even laugh for two seconds, I saw a bunch of highly intelligent people pulling out Toru's vest, and my smile disappeared again... (face hurts)]
[Toru's expression is so scary. He really wants to kill Granmani. Once he finds out that Granmani is Toru, I can't imagine how devastated he will be. Do you still have a conscience, old thief?!]
[Organize the clues:
The red team has shared their suspicions: chronic poisoning and the antidote; Toru's sudden change in personality when he returned seven years ago; metal glasses; earrings; Matsuda's multiple personality hypothesis (I hope he can reveal the truth!!); twin empathy; Gran wants to kill Shinsou
Zero Zero Specific: Granmani was brought in by Gin, he should go to Gin to ask (Please, he must find out that Toru really didn't volunteer!!)
Shuichi Akai: The Chiyodani Toru on the stairs was Granmani who shot him (this is hard to verify)]
[Thanks for the summary! It seems that we just need to wait for Toru to wake up, then slap him in the face with the suspicious points. If he can’t explain clearly, he will become more suspicious and be watched more closely... However, given the cautiousness of the police academy team, if they are afraid of alerting others, they probably won’t ask sensitive questions directly.]
[This is so funny, so the topic is back in the hands of the Riddler?]
[I can’t imagine that the police academy team can still turn a blind eye to these doubts now, but once Gran goes to do the organization’s mission (I guess it’s the clues in Xiao Ke’s hand), he will definitely be caught by the police academy team. Once he is caught, there will be nothing to say... Then the world will fall apart!!!]
[I am very sad now. If Sister Shinso was still here... everything would be clear (crying loudly)]
[srds, sisters (quietly) the titles of Shinsou and C have not disappeared from the forum voting list. Is the old thief accumulating some kind of resurrection energy bar? I couldn't help but vote for both of them, so the two accounts split it evenly!]
[Fuck! You reminded me! I'm going too! !]
[Aa ...
[Hahaha...Isn't it just death? Hahaha...It's just candy for the siblings to reunite, I'm fine with it!!]
[Fuck, another crazy one!]
326.
Chiyoya Saori closed the forum quietly. Although the votes for Kamisuo and C had soared this month and the three of them combined had already reached the first place, she felt inexplicably... calm at the moment?
She muttered in her heart: [I didn't expect their progress to be so fast - all the details have been dug out.]
After all, Chiyoya Saori was someone who had read the main storyline of the original work on the forum and knew how difficult it was for information to flow between the Red Side.
The reason they were able to piece together the information so quickly this time was that on the one hand, Akai Shuichi looked like he really deserved a beating. Just looking at the comics made Chiyotani Saori want to beat him up, not to mention Furuya Rei.
They had suppressed too much resentment in their hearts because of the matters concerning Shinsou and Chiyodani Toru, and the appearance of Shuichi Akai just intensified this point, causing Furuya Rei to reveal the information in order to let Shuichi Akai take the blame as well.
On the other hand...Edogawa Conan's aura as the protagonist is still as strong as ever.
Such a thing could happen that he ran into them when he went to the restroom in the middle of the night. It seems that he and Mao Lilan are both kings of fortune in some aspects!
But there is one thing I want to clarify!! She is not the one who can plan everything for Akai Shuichi before it happens!
It's fine that Furuya Rei and his friends were logically self-consistent and the forums blindly followed suit, but why did Akai Shuichi himself accept it?!
Chiyoya Saori was shocked!
The cute customer service said while eating melon seeds: [You should quickly think of a reason to deal with it! After all, if it is exposed directly, it seems that there is nothing to watch. ]
Chiyoya Saori chose to just sit there and act like a procrastinator: [Besides... they definitely won't start by asking about my relationship with Granmani. I guess they'll just start with the toxins and earrings.]
[My answer doesn’t need to be perfect, it’s enough to just maintain the appearance of stability. ]
The Q version of the customer service made two clicks of the tongue and said nothing, thinking that if something big were to happen, the host would probably get hit many times more...
But it can't imagine what Chiyoya Saori would look like when she was beaten up? !
All I can say is this woman is damn interesting...
Chiyoya Saori: [Customer service, please uninstall the domineering boss quote package, it's very greasy. ]
The customer service was shocked: [I said it out loud?! ]
Chiyoya Saori tapped the armrest with her fingers, smiling but saying nothing.
The technology expo is only a week away, and the organization will definitely take action then. Karasuma Renya's increasingly impatient actions recently have filled the organization with the atmosphere of impending storm.
If Granmani hadn't been in the hospital surrounded by police and wasn't awake yet, Gin would have come here directly to steal him.
Chiyoya Saori will act accordingly and try to bring the scene to an end after getting the information.
By the way...why did she feel like such a long time had passed?!
Never mind. This kind of scientific timeline is quite interesting sometimes. At least it can make her wounds heal faster without arousing suspicion.
Chiyoya Saori finally confirmed the progress and was happy to find that she could still be a helper to Shirley for a few more days.
327.
"Saori...sister, I'm coming in."
Huibara Ai tiptoed to open the door, and after her voice got stuck in her throat several times, she managed to utter both the awkward words "Saori" and "sister".
In her hand she held a glass of oddly colored vegetable juice and a few pills.
The white-haired woman sitting in the corner of the room subconsciously raised her head and looked in her direction.
She was wearing a beige knitted wool skirt. Her thigh-length white hair was tied behind her head with a hair tie. Her hair, which was rarely tangled, looked particularly smooth, making one want to touch it.
As if she smelled something, she shrank back with some disgust, her calm expression showing a hint of reluctance. The book on her lap fell to the ground with her movement, revealing a different page than usual.
Huiyuan Ai looked at her childish actions helplessly. She put the vegetable juice on the table beside her and picked up the Braille book and handed it to her: "Taking medicine is the bottom line. I don't want you to faint again!"
Chiyoya Saori felt that this was force majeure and had nothing to do with taking medicine.
She quietly lowered the opacity of the glass in front of her eyes, and after seeing the vegetable juice of particularly weird color, she closed it up again with a distorted face, making herself completely blind.
[It’s terrible, Shirley is terrible! ] She complained to the customer service in her heart, [How did they make such a dark dish? Will I be poisoned to death! ]
The Q version of the customer service snorted: [You were allowed to commit fraud and it was so serious. ]
Chiyotani Saori: […I am dedicated to my work! ]
She had specifically simulated and calculated the injuries that would be incurred after escaping from the base's environment and wandering for several days, and replicated it meticulously, for fear that Haibara Ai, a biological genius, would notice something wrong.
Now it seems... that I was too dedicated.
#I'm pitting myself#
Chiyogaya Saori sighed, spread out her hands, and let Haibara Ai stuff the vegetable juice and pills into her hands.
Should she be thankful that her body metabolism is not normal now? Otherwise, taking medicine randomly will really lead to poisoning!
No matter how much she complained in her heart, Chiyoya Saori had to drink it. She took a sip of the vegetable juice with a generous and selfless attitude...
Instantly, his face distorted.
------------
Haibara Ai watched Shinsou sipping the vegetable juice slowly like a slow-moving tree. Even her icy face couldn't hide her reluctance, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.
She subconsciously put her hand to her lips to hide her smile, but then she realized that the person in front of her couldn't see her even if she didn't need to block it.
The smile disappears in an instant.jpg
The white-haired woman was drinking the medicine obediently as if she was still in a dream. Huihara Ai subconsciously put her hand on her leg, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the obvious warmth.
"It's okay, just keep drinking, I'll be supervising you." The little girl spoke in a serious voice, but her eyes were actually shining as she looked at Shinsou, her blue eyes flashing with a nostalgic light.
"Tsk." Shinsou protested with one word.
Haibara Ai just lay on her thighs, feeling happy and a little sad.
It's great... Shinsou is still alive.
She still remembered her collapse in front of the Junior Detective Team. With the help of Professor Agasa, she put Shinsou on the car, and then turned around and warned those little brats not to spread the story, not even to Edogawa Conan.
After returning, she didn't even have the time to explain Shinsou's identity to Dr. Agasa. She immediately took out all her instruments and contacted other medical doctor friends with the help of Dr. Agasa. She worked until noon the next day before she managed to save Shinsou's life.
It was just too dangerous! She didn't know what happened to Shinsou in the organization. She only knew that if it wasn't for this fateful encounter, Shinsou would have died in a corner unknown to her.
Haibara Ai could even imagine the whole process: Shinsou experienced a horrible explosion, his body was covered with cuts and small wounds, and even his hearing had declined a little.
She couldn't see and had no one to contact. It was obvious that she had stumbled around here for a long time after escaping, and finally fainted in the park due to exhaustion.
Her recovery period after the operation was very long. Haibara Ai was only thankful that Edogawa Conan fell and injured himself after suffering from gastroenteritis, forcing her to postpone her hospitalization, allowing her to sort out her confused thoughts and delay for a while.
In the final analysis...she was afraid that a righteous detective like Conan Edogawa would not accept the existence of Shinsou.
The little girl puffed up her cheeks and went over the draft in her mind many times, but she still couldn't improve her worries. But Shensuo's taciturn character never changed. Even though it had come to this, he refused to mention what had happened to her.
Only at this moment can Huiyuan Ai understand Edogawa Conan's incompetent rage towards her - it has come to this, and she still wants to escape? !
But Haibara Ai still couldn't speak loudly to Shinsou, for fear that Shinsou would abandon her after careful consideration. So she could only act like an ostrich, and the atmosphere of pretending to be stupid continued to spread between the two of them.
"I've finished it." Shinsou's cold and low voice brought Huibara back to her sad and distant thoughts. She took the cup and checked it to make sure there was no cutting of corners, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're fine." The little girl put the cup aside and held onto the handle of her wheelchair. "I'll push you to the window to get some sun."
Shensuo frowned, revealing an even more lazy look: "...I won't go."
"Why?"
"I don't like sunbathing." This is the truth.
Huiyuan Ai disagreed and said: "Facts have proven that humans cannot survive without sunlight, especially when exposed to the sun..."
If it were in the organization, she would not be able to stop Shinsou from going out to bask in the sun, but in this situation now... Even when it comes to small matters, why is Haibara Ai getting braver?
But before she could finish telling everyone about the benefits of the sunlight behind her, she felt her feet float and she was lifted into the air.
Huiyuan Ai: “!!!”
The brown-haired girl's spell was interrupted, her eyes instantly widened, and her cheeks bulged out like a frightened squirrel.
Soon, Haibara Ai fell into a warm embrace with a medicinal scent. Shinsou watched as the thin arms were wrapped around her waist, directly fixing her in the arms.
"Stop it." The woman's voice was lazy, and she didn't say it in a perfunctory way. She directly rubbed her head and said, "I don't feel comfortable in the sun."
Huihara Ai wanted to fight back: "I'm serious... ugh!"
Before she could finish her words, Shinsuo pinched her cheek and even pulled her to the side with interest.
Haibara Ai: “!!!” She is eighteen years old, not eight!
It seemed as if a stream of heat was coming out of the brown-haired girl's head. Her entire face suddenly turned as red as a tomato, and even her head was buzzing.
This time Shinsou laughed even louder. She laughed intermittently, her chest heaving, which made Haibara Ai's body tense even more.
What the hell is this!!!
"Stop it!" She wanted to yell at her in a serious voice, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was no different from the buzz of a mosquito. Huihara Ai coughed twice, "God...Saori, what are you thinking about?"
"Call me sister."
"...Sister." Very reluctantly.
Shinsou rested his chin on Huihara Ai's shoulder. The pair of gray eyes under her white eyelashes seemed to hide stars. She said, "I don't think much. It's good to leave the organization. It's also good to muddle through."
"Is there any news outside recently?" she asked Huibara Ai in return.
At first, Haibara Ai felt uncomfortable being so close, but after her attention was drawn away, she had no other thoughts.
She thought for a moment and replied, "What kind of news do you want? Fire is a common method used by the organization, but I can't find the following information. The rest... Sister, Chiyotani Toru is unconscious. He is your brother, right? Are you really not going to go see him?"
Shinsuo closed his eyes slightly, paused for two seconds, and then slowly replied: "No, there's nothing to see."
"...Oh." Huibara responded sadly without asking any more questions, and even felt another kind of wave in her heart.
She doesn't like Chiyodani Toru. She always feels that this policeman is not as innocent as he seems, but Conan Edogawa and others trust him. Now that Shinsou doesn't plan to meet him, she actually feels a sense of exclusive complacency.
The one who calls her sister now is... Miyano Shiho.
"How did you get away from the organization? The bomb?" Huihara frowned. "Also, don't you really need to change your appearance?"
Shinsuo said vaguely: "The organization thought I was dead... As for the others, why would they need to disguise themselves if they were not going out?"
Huibara Ai rolled her eyes immediately and said to herself, "You're so lazy!"
She had never seen such a homebody before!
"Oh, by the way, it's not like I can't walk now, why do I need to sit in a wheelchair?"
Huihara Ai said unhappily: "Don't move until your wound is healed. Do you know how scary that is?"
"...You're so fierce." Shensuo restlessly pinched her face again, his tone sounding aggrieved.
Haibara Ai felt like her scalp was about to explode. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite the hand that was touching her cheek.
Most of Shinso's habits haven't changed, except that he's a lot more lively after waking up, and he can make jokes. In short, being more lively is a good thing - provided you don't tease her every time!!
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
Dr. Agasa's voice came, a little awkward: "Ai, Conan is out of the hospital, and he's waiting for you in the lobby."
Huihara Ai: “?!”
Her eyes widened, and she struggled quickly, stuffing the book back into her arms, and whispered to Shensuo, "You stay here and read for a while. I'm going to go out for a while."
"Farewell, take me with you." Shensuo was about to move for the first time. She smiled and said, "We have to go meet the little detective."
Haibara Ai remembered her identity and hesitated: "But..." She was worried that Conan Edogawa's outspokenness would irritate Shinsou.
"It's okay." Shinsou said as he was about to get up. Huihara Ai instinctively pressed down and said fiercely, "No!"
Shensuo looked helpless: "Then push me out."
Huibara Ai pursed her lips, but finally agreed.
328.
Conan Edogawa paced around in the hall, looking inside, wishing he could fly directly to Haibara Ai.
Ever since the conversation that night, he had been in an atmosphere of excitement and fear and couldn't calm down at all. After finally persuading Ran Mouri to be discharged from the hospital, he immediately ran to find Haibara to ask for information and discuss what to do next.
The young detective looked up and finally heard some movement, but the first thing he heard was the sound of wheels rolling on the smooth ground, and then he saw a person who looked familiar to him and not so familiar.
The white-haired girl was wearing warm-colored clothes, sitting in a wheelchair with her hands on her back, a book on her knees, and she looked so leisurely and comfortable at home that Conan Edogawa couldn't calm down.
This, this, this!
Isn’t he looking for Huibara Ai!
What is——?!
A bunch of keywords such as #gender change# and #parallel world# popped up in the little detective's mind, until he saw Haibara Ai walking out from behind the chair, he dismissed all these weird thoughts.
"Edogawa Conan...huh? Come closer." The other person waved at him, looking natural.
Conan Edogawa walked up to her in a daze, and before he could say anything, he was accurately touched on the cheek by her.
A cold hand brushed across his face, causing Conan Edogawa to shiver. He raised his eyes and wanted to say something, but was stunned when he met those somewhat distracted eyes.
At this time, Huihara Ai finally mustered up the courage and tried to speak calmly: "This is... the guardian who has always taken care of me in the organization. She has also left the organization. Her former code name was - Shinsou."
Oh...Guardian, god, god, god...Shinso?!
Conan Edogawa's eyes suddenly widened, the conversation between the FBI and the police was still circling in his mind, causing his brain, which had finally started to work, to freeze again.
He blurted out subconsciously: "Aren't you dead?!"
Haibara Ai's expression suddenly changed, and she punched Edogawa Conan on the head.
"Ouch!" The young detective immediately squatted on the ground holding the big bump on his head.
