Chapter 596 Why Didn't They Take Action Against Them?
There was no other way; he couldn't just let the children run off on their own. What if they ran into another gang of robbers?
Seeing this, Ai Haibara shook her head. Before following them, she used the Detective Boys badge to contact Machi Kawasaki, who had stayed behind to help Professor Agasa, and informed him of the situation. Only then did she calmly step forward to catch up with them.
At their tent-setting location, a pink-haired boy who had been peeling a carrot looked at the Detective Boys badge in his hand, which had lost contact with him, shrugged indifferently, and then repeated Ai Haibara's words to the busy Professor Agasa before continuing to peel the orange-red carrot in his hand, which looked rather nice.
"Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara said that Conan and the others are going on an adventure and may be back a little late. Don't wait for them after the food is cooked."
"Oh? Is that so?" Professor Agasa looked up and thought for a moment, but probably because he knew that Ai Haibara and Conan were originally adults, he wasn't too worried.
But he clearly forgot that these two adults were just children in appearance and in strength.
After walking for a while, they got closer and closer to the location of the treasure.
Of course, probably because they had the protagonist's halo, their campsite was closer to the treasure location, so they naturally arrived at the scene faster than Bertrand and his group.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, which looked eerie from the outside, Conan carefully scanned the surroundings.
The surrounding environment was natural, with no signs of being manually restored or cleaned, which meant that no one else had been here except for them.
Conan glanced at the three people, including Ai Haibara, who were pushing aside the weeds, turning on the flashlight on their watches, and curiously looking left and right as they entered the cave. He sighed helplessly, told them to slow down a bit, and then followed them.
Soon after, Bertrand and his two companions appeared outside the cave entrance. Glancing at the somewhat messy footprints around them, the silver-haired boy raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh dear, someone got here faster than us? They actually have this treasure map too?"
Upon hearing this, Seeker also observed the footprints, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with surprise and interest, "Judging from the footprints, it seems to belong to a group of children. Are kids these days really this bold? They dare to come to a place like this to search for treasure without an adult?"
That's what she said, but Vermouth didn't respond. Instead, she frowned slightly and stared at the pile of footprints on the ground with a hidden look in her eyes.
Based on her understanding of her godson, these were very likely footprints of him and his child friends.
She glanced at Bertrand, who was chatting with Seeker, and hoped that they would not run into each other.
She knew that Bertrand's imagination was wild, but he preferred to believe it rather than not, and he absolutely believed that the drug had a chance of causing the human body to shrink and become like a child.
and……
With his abilities, she couldn't be sure that he hadn't found the shrunken Sherry, and thus incidentally discovered that Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective who had disappeared without a trace long ago, had also turned into a child because of that drug.
She wasn't sure if he had found out, or if he had, why he hadn't taken action against them.
