She was injured last night and her mind was somewhat groggy. The voice that was confronting Akai Shuichi sounded familiar, but she had never heard such a cold and murderous voice before, so she was a little uncertain for a moment.
"Well, you've seen him." Akai Shuichi sighed. He didn't intend to say much about Finlandia, but since Judy had already been in contact with him, he simply told her, "He is the bookstore owner you asked me about before."
"...Huh?" Judy was stunned for a moment, and the image of Xian appeared in her mind. "Is it that...Hinamori Xian?"
"Yes, he is a member of that organization." Akai Hide nodded, "I have seen him in the organization. His code name is Finlandia, and his status in the organization is no less than that of Gin."
"What?! But..." Judy was shocked. The person last night must be a member of the organization, but she didn't expect that he would correspond to the gentle young man she had met several times. "Didn't you say before that we don't need to care about him? I thought..." He was just an ordinary person.
"It should have been like this." Akai Shuichi rubbed his temple with a headache, "But there seems to be some unexpected situation. His appearance there seems to be an accident."
Finlandia rarely shows such direct murderous intent. The last time he saw such murderous intent was when he was being hunted by him after his identity was exposed, so his state last night was obviously an accident. It seems that he had not originally planned to go there, and he did not know about Vermouth's plan.
The drug that Haibara Ai is researching can make people smaller, but at the same time, a larger part of its effect is killing people, so it is obvious that the drug that Haibara Ai is researching is an unstable failure, and there is definitely a gap between it and the expected effect of that gentleman.

"By the way, speaking of intelligence, do you know what Vermouth's plan is this time?" Akai Shuichi thought of the "little hint" Finlandia gave him before she left, "Why do I feel like there are so many unexpected things?"
But I am curious, and knowing more about the purpose of the organization will also help me to clear my name, right? Although he has been in the organization for so many years and seems to be loved by that gentleman, that gentleman has always hidden his intentions very well. He definitely doesn't know what he shouldn't know, which made Xian depressed for a long time.
"Now that Vermouth knows my identity, she will definitely not let it go, and I'm not sure if she also knows about Edogawa..." Huihara Ai's tone was very anxious, "So Brother Xian, you don't have to worry about me--"
Then the "important potion" that he asked Gin and I to escort back last night is very likely related to drug A, after all, that gentleman cares so much about it. If this is the case, then Huihara Ai...may know something?
"Is that so..." After all, he is a person comparable to Gin. However, since he is a high-ranking member of the organization, why would he choose to protect the person who is said to be a traitor to the organization?
Last night, he and Gin only delivered the stuff to a room in the base, which was definitely not the real place to store the drugs. After him and Gin, there must be someone else responsible for the second transfer of the drugs. He may not be able to find out where the drugs were transferred to, but at least he can know who transferred the drugs.
"This... I don't know either." Huihara Ai shook her head. "I didn't know what they were doing at first. I only found out about it after I took over the experiment. The information was also provided by the organization. But if the organization wanted to destroy it, it would be almost impossible for there to be any information left outside, right? Not to mention the test subjects."
"Besides, the organization's experiments are kept highly confidential, so it's impossible for them to be leaked." Huibara sighed.
Now he just didn't know why Finlandia appeared in that place, and was mainly focused on evacuating Belmode instead of helping Belmode. According to the situation last night, Judy was injured, and the rest were children without fighting ability. If Finlandia wanted to help, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
"This is unbelievable..." Huibara Ai frowned, her eyes full of shock. She couldn't imagine that the terrible and ruthless witch would actually want to protect someone.
"Xiu, you seem to be very familiar with that... Finlandia?" Judy keenly noticed something.
"Probably not. If there is really someone who can research that kind of medicine, he should be asked to research it together with my parents."
"Conan? Disguise?" Akai Shuichi frowned. Besides Vermouth, is there anyone else who can disguise themselves?
[No matter which punishment Vermouth gives, it is related to the host, right? ]
"Okay..." Brother Xian didn't look like he wanted to tell her. In that case, she wouldn't ask any more questions. Asking more questions wouldn't help her anyway.
"No need to mention it to her. I've already mentioned it to her once before, and I think the answer is still the same now. Besides..." Akai Shuichi paused, "Compared to the sniper taken away by Finlandia, Finlandia himself is more valuable. If you want to learn more about the organization through him, Miss Huihara is an indispensable person."
The confidentiality level is the highest level, even I can't check it at will, should I investigate it? [I think it's better for the host to concentrate on the mission. ]
[And, host, have you forgotten me? ]
He wasn't worried about Haibara Ai, but he didn't know if Finlandia would protect Conan as well.
"...Brother Xian." Huiyuan Ai sat on the sofa, looking at Xian who was looking for a cup for her, and pursed her lips, "You did that last night... Is it okay?"
"Oh, I see..." Xian looked at the ceiling. It turned out that getting the news was not as easy as he had imagined.
"That being said, he let Vermouth go, and the sniper you knocked out earlier was also taken away by him." Judy lowered her head. It was hard for her to imagine that the man who looked as gentle as the real Akai Tomoaki could be a member of the organization. "Also, will Maori, Conan, and Xiao Ai be exposed to the organization that day?"
"Not really. I welcome it either way."
Seeing that Huiyuan Ai was still very worried, Xian could only explain briefly: "I will be fine about what happened last night. It was not entirely my idea to let Vermouth leave. Anyway, you can rest assured."
"Xiao Ai? Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?" Xian stood up to greet her.
"Well, I guess I have caught her by the tail. If you are really worried, you can ask Conan or the Kudo couple." Xian curled the corners of his lips with some pride.
There is still too little information...
Xian returned to his shop, not knowing what to do for a while. After he came back in the early morning, he began to wait for news from the gentleman, but apart from a reply that the mission was over, there was no other news.
"Ah... I'm not very clear about the details. Her original plan should have been..." Judy simply introduced Vermouth's plan to take Haibara Ai out of the house alone and then kill her, "But I don't know what happened. Miss Haibara was supposed to be in the car, but Conan disguised himself as Miss Haibara, and later on, Mori-san also..." In short, it was really full of ups and downs.
“I know
However, since Vermouth's plan was broken in this way, it means that there must be someone who understood Vermouth's thoughts in advance, and that person is the "mastermind behind this matter" that Finlandia told him when he left.
"Indeed, but he was... not quite normal at that time." Akai Shuichi carefully considered his words, "But you don't have to worry about Haibara Ai. Finlandtia will probably take care of it." Probably, Akai Shuichi thought to himself.
Conan?
That makes sense, you're finally of some normal use.
"I know..." Huihara Ai heaved a sigh of relief. As for going to Conan or the Kudo couple to verify, forget it. If that's the case, it will definitely expose Brother Xian's existence more and may even bring danger to Brother Xian.
"…Not too familiar with him." Akai Shuichi showed a complicated expression, "His situation is a bit special and quite unstable, so I haven't reported more news about him so far, but at least I know that when it comes to Haibara Ai, I can choose to trust him." It seems that even in that state, Finlandia will still choose to help Haibara Ai.
Xian put his hands on Haibara Ai's shoulders to stop her from continuing: "You don't have to worry about this." Xian blinked at Haibara Ai, "Don't you think about why Vermouth had to take you out alone and then assassinate you? This is much more difficult than breaking into the house directly." "......?" Haibara Ai looked at Xian's eyes in a daze.
What about the children...
"I see..." That makes a lot of sense. Then who made the medicine he brought back last night...
"Has anyone else conducted the same experiment as the Miyano couple?"
"I understand. I will continue to investigate this matter." Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. "You have a good rest. I'm leaving first." It seems that I have to investigate the child named Conan.
After all, I didn't do it on purpose. It's because she always gets bumped into by me at the right moment...ah, someone is coming.
And no one knows what news Belmode received, but she left in a very talkative manner. This is all very abnormal. Belmode will not easily give up the plan that is about to be completed, unless... something more important intervenes.
What can you do? [Props! Props! I will be back to my peak in two days, then you can exchange props! I am such an almighty system, there must be props that can help you! ]
"It's okay, there's just a mission that may involve these, and I'm a little curious." Xian touched Huiyuan Ai's head, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Well... can't you come if there's nothing else?" Haibara Ai followed Xian upstairs.
"That medicine... it's called APTX4869. My current research is based on the information left by my parents. What does Brother Xian want to know?" If it was Conan asking, Haibara Ai might have to think about it, but if it was Brother Xian, Haibara Ai wouldn't mind telling him everything. It would be great if he could be of help.
It probably won't work to go find the potion directly, but maybe we can find out from other places, such as the organization's data room, or the usage records of the base room.
"Brother Xian...what happened?" Haibara Ai looked at Xian's solemn expression and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
We'll deal with it when the time comes. Anyway, we can go to the headquarters base for a preliminary investigation today.
"That's why I said you don't have to worry, and you don't have to worry about Conan at all." Xian retracted his hands and sat next to Huihara Ai. "Vermouth is protecting Conan. According to my guess, Vermouth should have some connection with Conan, no, it should be with Kudo Shinichi. She knows the effect of the medicine and doesn't want Kudo Shinichi to die, so she resorted to this desperate measure."
Xian looked up and saw that it was Haibara Ai who opened the door.
"Well... for example, is it possible that the experimental products of the Miyano couple were leaked? And so on." Xian leaned against the back of the sofa.
"But speaking of which, the drug you're researching..." Xian stroked his chin, "Do you have any idea?"
It seems that Xiu has hidden some truths and hasn't told them... Is it because the information he got is incomplete?
But whether based on what Xian has learned in the organization over the years or based on the original work, it is not difficult to guess that the gentleman's main research must be related to rejuvenation or even resurrection from the dead.
Vermouth, I wish you the best. Xian prayed silently in his heart. He was put in solitary confinement before, and now he is in trouble again... If there is no news later, he will go and meet Gin and ask him.
"Is that so... What about Ms. Huibara's witness protection program?"
Xian thought so and did so. According to the authority of "Finlandia", it was easy to check the usage records of the base rooms. This kind of recorded intelligence, which was also the intelligence of the headquarters base, could only be queried on a specific computer in the headquarters base. Although the possibility was small, Xian deliberately chose a later time to avoid confronting others.
"Eh?" Xian was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Huiyuan Ai meant and smiled immediately, "It's okay, you don't have to worry."
After seeing off Haibara Ai, Xian began to think about that gentleman's potion.
Xian, who could go directly into the room to investigate without anyone's guidance, pushed open the door with a little nervousness, and then met a pair of deep green eyes.
Xian: ...
"Ah, Gin, what a coincidence." What a coincidence.
Gin: ...
