Chapter 302 Sinner Oak Company
Haibara Ai's eyes lit up.
Sugishima Jun'e's next words delighted her even more: "Ms. Lin also transferred your old data from the Beika Town laboratory here in electronic form. You don't have to start from scratch, Ms. Haibara."
The equipment and experimental materials are there, and the next step is to immerse yourself in the experiment...
Humph, when it comes to drug research, she's confident she's on par with no one, not even a nerd like Madeira. When she was organizing it, she was somewhat passive due to the human experiments, but now she's firing on all cylinders.
Looking at the high ambition burning in Haibara Ai, Conan touched his head.
After realizing he wasn't part of the organization, the shock and anger in his heart finally dissipated, leaving only the depression of being deceived. But now he felt that things seemed different from what he had imagined.
He had a feeling that everyone else was moving steadily towards their goals, but he himself was still confused about the situation. It felt like everyone else had joined other crews, and he was the only one still stuck on the set of a detective film, but there were no criminals or cases waiting for him to investigate.
Since these people didn't show any obvious malice, they probably wouldn't do anything directly to him - so he had to seize this opportunity and at least figure out what the situation was!
When he reaches his destination, he will start to act, the little detective thought to himself.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Kamal got carjacked...Show, what should I do now?"
"Just report the truth, but try to delay as much as possible." Akai Shuichi stood in the airport square. Conan would be surprised if he were here—because Judy Stelling and Akai Shuichi hadn't left the airport since they separated. They seemed to be waiting for some news, and only now took action.
"So Xiu, are you...going back to Japan now?"
"Yes," Akai Shuichi said, "I'll return to Japan using a fake identity I created through personal channels. You just need to say I'm going back to rest."
The reason he used personal channels was because he didn't want the FBI to know that he had returned to Japan.
There are spies in the organization at the top of the FBI. If the organization has been following this matter, the news of his return to the United States should have been known to the organization.
He wanted to launch a surprise attack that would catch the organization off guard... This was the agreement between him and that person.
"I understand...stay safe, Xiu," Judy said.
She didn't really understand why Akai Shuichi did all this. Whether it was deliberately waiting for strangers to kidnap the two children or disappearing just before reporting, it seemed like he was causing trouble for the FBI. But she always chose to support him because she was his teammate and she believed in him.

Half a liter of blood was drawn from Lin Xi.
She raised her head drowsily. "If you smoke any more, you'll pass out, Bourbon."
Bourbon said nothing, pulled the needle out of her arm, and let her press it to stop the bleeding herself.
Lin Xi yawned: "Can you change some movies for me? The ones you put here are so boring."
"What do you want to see?" Bourbon, still wearing the same suit, put the blood away and rang the bell for the police to put the blood in the refrigerator.
"Captain America."
Bourbon looked at her with an indescribable look, as if she had just said something dirty that shouldn't be here, such as suggesting using baguette to dip Indian curry while eating French food, or using Korean spicy sauce to make Sukiyaki.
It was a faint resentment of being disgusted, as if he was questioning with his eyes why she had polluted his hard drive with this kind of American movie about personal heroism.
"I refuse," he said coldly.
"That Batman—"
"Impossible." Bourbon glared. "Some movies are good enough, but you chose this one. Can you please have some self-awareness as a prisoner?"
Lin Xi shrugged. "I believe there must be American movies in Japanese prisons. Since you treat me as a prisoner, you must treat me as a prisoner should be. And why are you so excited? Captain America is not to your taste? I think you look a lot like him."
Bourbon looked genuinely disgusted now: "What crazy talk are you talking about?"
"Look, you all love your country, and you all have people who admire you—that public security officer I suppressed yesterday was all starry-eyed when you showed up. You all also have a brother who's been hidden by evil forces and lost his memory," Lin Xi said. "The only difference is that Japan didn't make a movie based on your character—oh, maybe after the organization is destroyed, you'll be promoted as a star agent."
"The organization will not collapse." Boss Lin Xi said lightly in her mind.
"Oh, but the organization will not collapse." Lin Xi readily agreed.
A hand suddenly supported her head.
A shadow fell from above. Lin Xi raised her eyes with interest and met the pair of purple-gray eyes that were clearly burning with anger but seemed even clearer.
She liked the way Bourbon's eyes changed color. When he was angry, they turned purple-gray, and when he was calm, they turned light blue. Each state had its own beauty, but the moment he was enraged was still the most interesting.
His aura changed from that of a gentle and friendly young man to that of a dark and poisonous snake that could bite people at any time. His aggression was not as outward as Gin's, but hidden in the dark. His eyes were fixed on the enemy's throat, as if he would pounce on the enemy and inject his highly poisonous venom into the enemy's body if he found an opportunity.
However, it is such people who have fatal weaknesses because of their so-called national stance, and become weapons that others can use at will.
It has to be said that both BOSS Lin Xi and the current Lin Xi were full of regret for Bourbon—not regret that such a person was bound by such a thing, but regret that the chains that bound him were not in his own hands.
"The organization may not be destroyed, but I will definitely make you tell me what I want to know." And now, the venomous snake was spitting at her.
Lin Xi simply admired his expression calmly, thinking that it would be nice to make the venomous snake with its fangs removed into an ornamental pet.
Bourbon probably read her thoughts, gave up the meaningless threat, took out the injection that Lin Xi was familiar with and injected her, but his movements were not gentle.
Lin Xi cried out, "I've always cooperated with you, you can't take revenge on me like this!"
"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to change it to an American movie for you!"
"Then I want to watch the movie starring Chris!"
"Are you kidding me? She's a Hollywood star, she only acts in American movies!"
"Aren't you close to her and you call her often? How could you not like your best friend's movie? It turns out you two are just like fake sisters. I misjudged you, Bourbon!"
"Shut up!"
Outside the door, Yuya Kazami listened to the quarrel coming from inside, his eyes blank.
Ah, both Miss Punch and Mr. Furuya today are incredibly childish... No, how can I use the word childish! This is just one of Mr. Furuya's strategies! That's right, a strategy!
As a caring subordinate, he should pretend not to hear!
…
Ai Haibara and Conan were taken to Oak Company.
Oak Tree, which was originally just a small company, became a well-known large enterprise in Silicon Valley after being acquired by Linxi and the young genius Hiroki Sawada joined with his property rights.
They bought a high-rise building in Silicon Valley, where every inch of land is valuable. The employees in the building did their jobs and turned a blind eye to the armed men with guns and the children they brought with them.
Jun'e Sugishima took off her mask, revealing her pretty face.
Only then did Conan realize that her appearance, dress and clothing were all Japanese style, with a hint of boldness: her long straight black hair was neatly cut to her waist, under her black long coat was a full-collared white top and a black pleated skirt, and the scabbard of the Tang sword placed in the waist buckle was made of mahogany, breaking the dull color of the clothes with a graceful arc.
Oak Company...the strange masked woman...and the laboratory that Huibara mentioned earlier...
Conan's doubts grew instead of diminishing.
No matter how you look at it, this looks like a legitimate company, and a technology company at that. And those armed men don't look like villains, but rather like normal security personnel.
He followed Haibara Ai and Sugishima Jun'e into the elevator. The elevator went all the way to the top floor. When the door opened, Conan shuddered at the cold air that hit him.
It's summer now, and it's normal for buildings to have air conditioning, but the temperature on this floor seems particularly low.
"Welcome back, Miss Huibara, Miss Sugishima, and Mr. Kudo," the round-headed robot greeted with a wink. "Mr. Sawada and Ms. Shibahara are waiting for you in Machine Room 3."
The little robot reached out and handed the coats to the two children. "Because we need to maintain the temperature to maintain the optimal operating efficiency of the computer system, the temperature here will be slightly lower than other floors. Please put on your coats, little lady and little gentleman."
Haibara Ai put on her coat without hesitation.
Edogawa Conan also took the coat and put it on - your body is your capital, if you want to find out where this place is, you'd better be obedient for the time being!
"Please follow me." The little robot led the way.
The machine rooms seemed to be numbered in order. Machine room 3 was not far from the elevator, and the door opened automatically as they approached.
"Sugishima-sister, Haibara-sister! Um, and Kudo Shinichi-san." The sunny boy in a thick coat greeted several people.
He sat in an ergonomic chair that could rotate freely, with a polygonal table in front of him. There were several display screens on his left, right, above his head and in front of him. There were several keyboards connected to the table, and a cup of coffee kept warm on a heating kettle.
Not far from where he sat, sat a woman, legs crossed, black boots resting on the front of her chair, and wrapped in a fur coat. She smiled at the visitors, especially the shrunken, brown-haired girl walking in the middle.
"Vermouth..." Haibara Ai was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. "Why are you here?"
"Vermouth?!" Conan immediately turned to look at the woman, then looked at Haibara Ai, and said with his eyes:
You still say this isn't the organization's base! The codename members are all here!
