"…It's really you, Finlandia." Akai Shuichi approached confidently, "This is the first time I see you dressed like this." If it weren't for the long black hair, it would be hard to recognize you.
Xian shrugged. He didn't have any comment on how he dressed. He was more concerned about Akai Shuichi's question: "Tell me why you are here?"
"..." Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering how much truth he should tell Finlandia.
After all, it is better not to expose the FBI undercover if possible. But Finlandia's appearance here means that he is the member of the organization that the undercover agent is going to hand over, so Finlandia's target should also be the USB flash drive.
This is a bit difficult. But... it doesn't matter if I tell Finlandia more, because he is destined not to get the USB flash drive today.
After all, just before he came here, he sent a message to the boy, asking him to help find the USB drive hidden on the deceased or somewhere else.
Shuichi Akai felt that his plan was perfect. The last incident in Curacao made him understand the boy's abilities. His calm thinking when facing danger and his careful observation and solution of difficult problems made him truly worthy of being called the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era."
God knows how frightened she was every time she heard from Brother Xian about the undercurrents behind Kudo-kun's actions. If it weren't for Brother Xian behind him, and if there wasn't Vermouth who went easy on him for some unknown reason, how many times would that impulsive detective have been discovered by the organization!

"Brother Xian!" Haibara Ai trotted over, and after approaching Xian, she hesitated a little, with some worry in her eyes.
"I see." Xian looked as if he had expected it. The police had already arrived. He turned his head and glanced at Conan who was still solving the case. He said with interest, "In that case, why not let Mr. Akai do it first? Let me see how you take that thing away in front of the Japanese police."
"It's true, Mr. Akai." Conan said solemnly, "I searched all his pockets, the inside of his coat, his shirt, his pants, etc., but found nothing. If it's not in a more private place, then it's definitely gone." Conan counted the pockets he had searched on his fingers. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he added, "Oh, there is a secret pocket in his tennis racket bag, but there's nothing in it either."
"What?! You mean, no?" Akai Shuichi looked at Conan in disbelief, as he found an excuse to meet him alone. He couldn't believe that the answer he got was that it was not found.
So his ability is naturally trustworthy, and this time he happened to be at the scene of the crime. In the last incident, they left each other's contact information, which will come in handy now. After all, it involves information about the organization, and the boy will definitely choose to help him. He certainly doesn't want the organization's intelligence to be taken away by ordinary Japanese police.
Of course it's because I have a system! I can watch what's happening on the other side at any time. Xian answered in his heart.
"...I'm talking to you, what can you see here?" Xian looked at Akai Shuichi speechlessly. The position he chose was neither far nor near. Although he could see the crime scene, he could only vaguely distinguish who was who. In addition, there was greenery and iron fences in the middle, so he couldn't see the specific circumstances of the case at all.
"Old friend—" Xian said lazily, "It seems you are still a little behind, Akai Shuichi."
[And he doesn't look like he's going to the scene to look for the USB drive. Could it be that he can also take things remotely? Humans in this world haven't evolved to that point, right? ]
Telekinesis? How is that possible... huh?
Telekinesis? Xian squinted his eyes again and looked at Akai Shuichi's mysteriously confident smile with great suspicion, then shifted his gaze to the crime scene.
Thinking of this, Akai Shuichi smiled confidently: "Of course, I came here for the same purpose as you."
Huiyuan Ai's pupils dilated, she opened her mouth, and after a long while she said, "Brother Xian needs to be well too."
[As expected of a host. 】
"I didn't know you were cooperating with the FBI." Haibara Ai glanced at Akai Shuichi.
"Oh no! Finlandia!" Akai Shuichi turned around and left, quickly rushing in the direction where Finlandia left according to his memory. Conan saw this and knew something was wrong, so he immediately followed.
That's right.
As for the matter of the USB flash drive, Conan does not intend to tell Haibara Ai. After all, the news was told to him by Shuichi Akai, and his actions also involve the FBI, so it is better for Haibara Ai not to know too much.
Akai Shuichi, he didn't really find someone else as an external aid, right? Just like me, but he is unlikely to find Haibara Ai, he should find Conan.
It seems that Shuichi Akai is very determined to win. Why is he so mysteriously confident?
This time, he must not be allowed to get entangled with the organization's mission! Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai left the crime scene with a firm step.
But suddenly, his cell phone rang and he received a message from an unexpected person.
"Hey, Haibara, why are you..." Conan couldn't believe that Haibara Ai would do such a thing.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Haibara Ai formally, and then received Haibara Ai's happy smile.
"Brother Xian, you..." Huiyuan Ai pulled Xian's clothes, "Are you okay?"
"Then we'll just have to wait and see."
It's still like this... Shuichi Akai was a little helpless. Last time on the Ferris wheel, Finlandia obviously seemed to have remembered everything and got rid of the control of the organization. He thought he would be able to have further contact with him smoothly.
"...You knew it a long time ago?" Akai Shuichi was a little speechless and asked with a complicated expression.
The last time he went back, he went to Mingmei to confirm. Mingmei always believed that if Finlandia remembered everything, she would definitely not choose to stay in the organization. But looking at this, it doesn't look like she wants to get rid of the organization...
When Shuichi Akai rushed to Xian, Xian already had the USB flash drive in his hand and was patting Haibara Ai on the head with a smile.
"What are you thinking about?" Akai Shuichi sighed, his eyes full of complexity.
"...Oh?" Xian narrowed his eyes. Same purpose as him? That meant they were also eyeing that USB flash drive. It was obvious that it must be their own intelligence system. With such a big change in the organization, the FBI, who was always keeping an eye on the organization, could not have been unaware of it.
Shuichi Akai's plan was ultimately doomed to fail.
Huibara? Mingmei's shrunken sister... Shuichi Akai suddenly thought of Finlandia's meaningful smile when she left, and his pupils shrank.
Fortunately, Finlandia had promised him last time that he would see the strength of their official organization. Shuichi Akai had already thought about it, and he would use this as a stepping stone to let Finlandia see the ability of their FBI. Using the power of that boy should also be considered as the ability of the FBI, right? Shuichi Akai paused for a second, after all, this can show that their FBI's external aid is relatively strong. However... the smile of Finlandia just now gave him a bad premonition.
"By the way." When they were about to turn out of the fitness equipment area, Xian suddenly turned around and gave him an ambiguous smile, "I'm really looking forward to how you're going to get the USB flash drive." After that, he left without looking back.
"Yeah, everything will be fine." Xian nodded and agreed with a smile.
"Even if...wait, you know Mr. Akai?!"
"I chose it, of course, because I thought the location was good." Xian made full use of nonsense literature, "Who knew there would be a murder?" As he said that, Xian distanced himself from Akai Shuichi and wanted to leave the area with fitness equipment.
Conan recalled, and then a white light flashed in his mind, and he said in disbelief: "Graybara moved... but she just said she was looking for clues..."
There is a secret pocket, but no USB flash drive... Akai Shuichi frowned and asked, "Besides you, who else touched the racket bag?"
However, Shuichi Akai probably doesn't know where the USB flash drive is placed, so even if he asks Conan to bring it out, Conan needs to find the USB flash drive first.
【Looking at the order of the crime scene just now, Conan should have examined the body of the deceased first. 】
"It has nothing to do with you, right? FBI." Xian answered coldly without turning around.
"Xiao Ai." Xian sat on a bench near a big tree and waved to Huiyuan Ai. Huiyuan Ai didn't feel the aura of the organization on Xian, so she sat beside Xian without any worries.
"Ah, you're here." Xian smiled and waved to Akai Shuichi, then looked at Akai Shuichi's extremely serious face and couldn't help laughing, "Puchi, cough... Sorry, it's mainly because when I saw you like this, I thought of your very confident and complacent expression just now..."
"...Haibara, what are you doing?" Conan walked over and asked.
Hmm... Has Inspector Megure arrived yet? Conan sighed. Never mind. He could find the USB drive while investigating the case.
"So... did you find anything?"
"Brother Xian must have his own considerations." Miyano Akemi said sincerely.
"......!" Huihara Ai opened her eyes wide and clenched her hands tightly around her clothes, "Really? It won't be like that, which means..."
"That's great..." Brother Xian has escaped the brainwashing control of the organization! Huiyuan Ai's eyes were suddenly filled with joy.
Hearing this, Xian burst out laughing, and said under Huibara Ai's somewhat puzzled gaze: "Maybe he already knows." As he spoke, he looked up and saw two figures, one big and one small, approaching quickly in the distance.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Xian smiled gently and touched Huiyuan Ai's head. "It won't be like that again."
"As you can see, I want to help you find some clues." Huiyuan Ai waved her hand, "Look, I'm wearing gloves."
After seeing the content of the message, Conan's heart trembled violently. A USB flash drive related to the organization! This is an important thing! I didn't expect that the victim I met casually in the park was actually a member of the organization, and he was carrying such an important thing! But just now, I didn't seem to find anything on the dead body, which means that the USB flash drive was not on the dead body, but somewhere else.
"No, it's quite normal." Huiyuan Ai took off her gloves and put them in her pocket, then walked aside. "I'm really not suitable for solving this kind of murder case. Let you, the great detective, do it."
The meeting place agreed with Haibara Ai was somewhere else, far away from the area where Akai Shuichi was and the crime scene, under a big tree in a secluded place.
"So, wait a little longer, Shiho." Xian lowered his head, gently held Huihara Ai's arm with one hand, looked at her seriously and said softly, "It will be fine."
Conan looked up and looked around, and saw Haibara Ai squatting next to the deceased's tennis racket bag, zipping it up.
Hearing this, Akai Shuichi's smile became even more mysterious. He put his arms on the parallel bars and looked at the crime scene opposite with a determined look.
"I don't know." Xian shrugged helplessly, with a smile in his eyes. "I just thought of the same idea as you, but I was one step ahead."
Xian nodded with a smile on his face.
"By the way, Brother Xian, this is the USB drive you wanted." Huiyuan Ai took out the small black USB drive from her pocket and handed it to Xian. "I didn't tell Kudo. If he knew, he would definitely come after me."
"..." Conan was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything. After all, Huiyuan had been like this for a long time. He was going to check the tennis racket bag of the deceased.
Simple telekinesis definitely does not exist, but if Shuichi Akai also asked someone for help...Xian turned his attention to Conan who was examining the body of the deceased.
Xian couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth. Just as Conan was carefully searching the body of the deceased, Haibara Ai had successfully found the USB flash drive according to her instructions, and then restored the tennis racket bag to its original state before Conan discovered it.
Although he said that, Shuichi Akai didn't seem to have any intention of taking action. Xian looked at Shuichi Akai with some suspicion, then turned to look at the crime scene, feeling a little confused.
But now, the Miyano sisters that Finlandia cares about have already left the organization. If Finlandia wants to be like them, how can she not seek official help? Directly defecting to the gray area and being hunted by the organization all the time is not a good result, right? Shuichi Akai really doesn't know what Finlandia is thinking.
"...Where are you going?" Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes.
The cause of death this time was very strange. He obviously did not eat anything, but died of food poisoning. Seeing that no information could be found on the deceased's body, Conan could only start chatting with the three witnesses in a child's tone to obtain information.
"What - nothing." Xian stood up, tossed the USB drive in his hand and caught it again, "Why not go and cooperate with the police, Akai Shuichi, maybe you will encounter something interesting." After saying that, he left.
If Kudo knew that the deceased was actually a member of the organization with a USB flash drive that recorded the organization's information, he would definitely not miss this opportunity, right? It's better not to let him know. The organization is dangerous to begin with, and Brother Xian has already taken a lot of consequences for his recklessness, so he shouldn't always embarrass Brother Xian.
"Then why did you choose this location?" Akai Shuichi looked at Xian's sportswear. This didn't look like clothes that could hide a telescope.
Xian walked slowly on the path in the park, analyzing in his mind the possibility of Akai Shuichi asking Conan for help.
Seeing Conan running over to report the details of the case to Inspector Megure, Haibara Ai put her hands in her pockets and slowly walked away from the scene. After saying hello to Mao Lilan, she left the scene first. When she turned the corner, she glanced at Conan who was hiding behind Suzuki Sonoko and reasoning enthusiastically. The hand hidden in her pocket gently squeezed the small USB flash drive.
"...He is still a member of the organization, why are you helping him to collect information about the organization?" Akai Shuichi looked at Haibara Ai with a headache.
"Brother Xian has his own considerations." Huibara Ai said firmly.
Akai Shuichi: ...
You are worthy of being sisters.
