Chapter 104 Anonymous Does Not Interfere with Others
Overnight, he went from being a "top researcher of the Black Organization" to a "child living under someone else's roof"...
Haibara Ai felt that her recent experiences were like a dream.
However, in comparison...she still prefers her current life.
…
At Dr. Agasa's enthusiastic invitation, Haibara Ai accompanied him to see the new inventions.
Just as she was staring at those strange-shaped props and wondering "What is this?" and "What is this again?"
There was a sudden knock on the door of Dr. Agasa's house.
Immediately afterwards, someone pushed the door open and walked in skillfully.
Huibara Ai turned her head and glanced, then suddenly froze.
"..."Jiang Xia?!
How come he is here...
…
Haibara Ai secretly hid behind the doctor and pulled up the hood of her clothes to cover her head.
Although she had been trying her best to take care of Jiang Xia over the past year, their lives did not overlap much, and their relationship was not close.
If you have to say it, it can even be considered a grudge - in the car accident that caused the death of Jiang Xia's parents, when the truck overturned, Jiang Xia and his wife pushed Shirley and pushed her out of the truck's crushing range, but they themselves were crushed into a pancake.
Although judging from the situation at the time, even if Shirley was not pushed, it would be difficult for the two to escape. She just saved someone before she died... But Shirley thought that this would still be a difficult thing for Jiang Xia to accept. That's why Jiang Xia never accepted the tonics she sent and the doctors she made appointments with.
In short, Haibara Ai didn't think Jiang Xia had any reason to keep her whereabouts a secret.
And once Jiang Xia guessed that "Grayhara Ai = Shirley", and handed her over...
If they were to come into contact with such an important matter, not only she and Dr. Agasa, but Jiang Xia herself might also be killed by the organization! What's more, there is also Anonymous who has been hiding in the dark...
…
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai broke out in a cold sweat.
She took advantage of Jiang Xia talking to Dr. Agasa and slipped away quietly, wanting to hide and get through the current predicament.
However, just after he took a few steps, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Immediately afterwards, the light around her dimmed and a figure enveloped her.
——Jiang Xia walked behind her.
Haibara Ai stared at the shadow on the ground, her whole body frozen.
She shivered, slowly raised her hands, and clutched the hood on her head in a desperate struggle.
…
Jiang Xia walked around to her, looked down at her for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to her.
"!" Haibara Ai closed her eyes tightly, already foreseeing the tragic future of being caught and taken back to the gas chamber.
The next second, she suddenly flew into the air.
"Ah!" Haibara Ai was startled and opened her eyes suddenly, then was surprised to find that she was being held under the armpits and lifted into the air.
Jiang Xia looked at her with interest for a while, and suddenly threw her up.
Huiyuan Ai let out a short scream and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xia's wrist, and then he caught her steadily. Jiang Xia held her and tossed her repeatedly like a toy.
Huihara Ai gradually went from being terrified to being numb: "......?"
...for what?
...Could it be that Jiang Xia actually vaguely associated her with "Shirley", but was unable to accept this situation that violated the law of conservation of matter, so he suddenly weighed her to see how heavy she was?
…
Jiang Xia weighed her a few more times, and when he found that Huiyuan Ai was no longer so startled, he put her down indifferently.
The shrunken version of Shirley is quite cute, and her reaction just now is much more interesting than Conan's. It's just that the effect is a bit short.
Jiang Xia touched Huibara Ai's head with regret.
Haibara Ai shuddered as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body was filled with the desire to run, but in the end she just stood there stiffly, trying hard to pretend to be an ordinary child.
Soon, Haibara Ai discovered that she seemed to have successfully concealed it.
——Jiang Xia did not suddenly bend down and whisper something like "I found you".
He just took his hand back and looked at the doctor: "Who is this child?"
…
"She..." Dr. Agasa originally wanted to tell Jiang Xia the truth, because according to Conan, Jiang Xia had already observed that "Conan = Kudo Shinichi" and was considered an insider.
However, before he opened his mouth, the doctor changed his mind and felt that it was not a good idea.
——Jiang Xia doesn’t know about the Black Organization yet, and if Haibara Ai is introduced to Jiang Xia, it will be difficult to avoid that mysterious organization.
If Jiang Xia knew about the existence of the Black Organization and went to investigate without authorization, he would undoubtedly be in danger. Even the fact that he knew that the Black Organization existed in the world could be a reason for him to be silenced.
Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa said carefully: "She is my friend's child."
…
Haibara Ai had been keeping her ears perked up, nervously eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people.
Hearing this, she was relieved, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried - the doctor's words sounded a bit like a guilty lie. If Jiang Xia found out...
Fortunately, Jiang Xia did not ask any further questions.
He took back the repaired soldering iron and left quickly.
Huiyuan Ai looked at the closed door: "..."
Are things going a little too smoothly?
Moreover, it seemed that it was not her illusion - Dr. Agasa looked very familiar with Jiang Xia... They knew each other? !
…
Thinking of this, Huihara Ai suddenly realized something.
She hurried to the door and looked out.
When her eyes fell on the neighbor's house across the street, Huihara Ai stood there as if struck by lightning.
...That is Jiang Xia’s home.
Although neither she nor her express delivery had ever been able to enter Jiang Xia's house.
But a while ago, when Shirley was investigating the follow-up condition of Kudo Shinichi, a user of "APTX4869" as a member of the organization, she passed by this neighborhood and she knew what Jiang Xia's house looked like.
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Wait, so...
She suddenly had a bad feeling and turned her head slowly, withdrawing her gaze from Jiang Xia's house next door and looking stiffly at the "neighbor next door" on the other side.
What she saw was a more familiar house that she had sneaked into twice before.
——Kudo Shinichi’s home.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
She looked left and right, feeling more confused than ever before.
...What conspiracy did the anonymous person have by placing her in such a delicate position?
…
Jiang Xia didn't stay with the doctor for too long.
He played with Shirley for a while to satisfy his curiosity, then left Miyano Akemi and returned to his home.
Jiang Xia sat on the sofa and rolled up a few boxes of ghost mint.
After a while, Miyano Akemi, who had rubbed her sister enough, floated back contentedly.
