Chapter 663 Stop using the word "again"!
After returning from the library, Chizuru learned that Subaru Okiya had moved into Shinichi Kudo's house. He looked surprised, then squatted down in front of Conan and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure he's alright?"
Conan shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry, he's absolutely trustworthy."
"Alright, if you think it's okay, then it's fine." Qianzhu shook her head slightly with a hint of helplessness, then stood up, patted his head, and asked, "Where's Ai?"
"Ah, she's in her room." Conan put one hand in his pocket and pointed to the room with his thumb.
Recalling her rejection today, he couldn't help but sigh silently, mainly because he had no way to tell them the truth now.
However... he inexplicably felt that the plan was going too smoothly.
Furthermore, according to Mr. Akai, Kiel is likely being controlled by Bertrand, but he is still secretly providing clues to the FBI. For example, today he received a call from Casey.
Kir revealed that the organization sent a member codenamed 'Bourbon' to investigate Haibara's affairs.
Could it be that... Bertrand's method of controlling Kiel is the same as Behffiner's?
Once controlled, they are unaware of everything they have done...
Moreover, Ms. Jodie has been missing since her last confrontation with Vermouth, presumably taken away by the Black Organization.
I wonder how she is now.
Conan was deep in thought, his brow furrowed.
"Ai, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Conan looked up and saw that Chizuru was questioning Ai Haibara, who had just come out of the room.
Professor Agasa, standing nearby, eagerly asked, "Can I come along too?"
"Of course you can." Qianzhu smiled helplessly, then turned to Conan, "Would Conan like to come along too?"
Conan blinked, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Great! I haven't had Chizuru's cooking in ages!"
"Then it's decided. You can come over tonight." Chizuru said softly, patting Ai Haibara's head, before turning and returning to the Chino residence.
Although it was originally agreed that there would only be three people, several more people actually showed up.
Ran Mouri smiled apologetically at Chizuru, "I'm sorry, Chizuru, but my dad couldn't wait to come over as soon as he heard that Conan was going to have dinner at your house."
Qianzhu blinked, then focused her gaze on a pink-haired youth behind them.
"It's alright, please come in."
Fortunately, he prepared enough portions.
"Please sit down first, I'll go prepare food for the kitten and the pigeon." Qianzhu asked them to sit down first, and then went to the kitchen to prepare food for the two little animals that had been impossible to get rid of since they entered the house.
After enjoying a delicious Chinese dinner, Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara stayed behind to help clean up.
...
A few days later.
Qianzhu raised an eyebrow as she looked at Conan, who was wearing a mask again. "Conan, how come you caught a cold again?"
Conan's half-moon eyes, please stop using the word "again"...
"Have you taken your medicine? If not, I have some cold medicine here." Qianzhu said, reaching into her bag to look for the pile of medicine bottles.
"No, no need. Heiji-nii already gave me my medicine." Conan waved his hand.
Ah, that's right. At this moment, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Heiji Hattori, Kazuha Toyama, and the two of them are in the same car.
They are currently on their way to Higashio Village.
Upon hearing the name of the village, Qianzhu couldn't immediately recall what case it was about.
It wasn't until 01 reminded him that, "[This case is called 'Murderer Shinichi Kudo' in the original work.]"
They went to Higashio Village to investigate a case, but as for why they brought Chizuru along...
Maybe it's because I wanted to take him along for a walk?
Upon arriving at Higashi-Oku Village, they learned that Makoto Yata, who had sent the letter to Heiji Hattori, had disappeared a year earlier. Furthermore, the locals reacted strangely, even as if they were resisting the name 'Shinichi Kudo', when they heard it.
There was nothing they could do but leave from the village committee office first.
Chizuru and Conan stood behind them. He gently tapped Conan's head with his finger and asked Conan with his eyes.
Did you do something that made them so disgusted?
Conan: ...How could that be?
Conan will make a half-moon eye expression.
However, he did find it strange. Although he had solved a case in this village before, he was very confident in his reasoning. Why would the letter say that his case had gone wrong?
"If you are confident in yourself, it means that someone is targeting you behind your back."
Qianzhu suddenly spoke to him in a low voice, her eyes lowered and slightly calm as she looked at him.
Conan was slightly taken aback, then heard him say, "Anyway, you need to be careful. After all, for the time being, the other party is in the shadows... although he doesn't know where Shinichi Kudo has gone yet, it should be a conspiracy against you."
"I understand." Conan nodded to him somewhat seriously, then lowered his head to think, his brows furrowing.
What happened in between that he didn't know about?
only……
He glanced at Qianzhu, then made an excuse to go back to the hotel to rest and left ahead of them.
He arrived at a cabin in the woods and opened the letter addressed to Shinichi Kudo again.
It read: "Come to the cabin in the woods where we first met. I want to talk to you alone."
Qianzhu glanced at Conan running away and knew exactly what he was going to do, but...
Didn't he consider that he would most likely also have to go back to the hotel?
Chizuru shook his head with a hint of helplessness, then said to Ran and the others, "I'll go back to the hotel first. It won't be good for Conan to be alone. I'll go back with him to check on him."
"Okay, remember to call us if anything happens."
Ran Mouri called out to Chizuru, who had already walked quite a distance away, with her hands to her mouth.
Qianzhu turned around and waved to her, indicating that she had heard him.
Back at the hotel, he confirmed that Conan had not returned. After thinking for a moment, he went back to his own room.
Anyway, even if he gets involved, it probably won't change anything, so he might as well go back to his room and stay there.
After all, he didn't really want to keep running around...
But if it's a clone here, then that's a different story.
Meanwhile, Conan arrived at the door of the cabin in the woods, pushed it open, and called out twice in a hoarse voice due to a cold, but found no one inside.
