Chapter 2816 2828 [Grayfield Ai: Hunting Time]
After listening to a few more sentences, Haibara Ai's expression gradually changed.
Haibara Ai: “…” For some reason, she seemed to smell a hint of an organization from the situation described by Itakura Taku.
This made her instinctively hold her breath, prick up her ears, and eavesdrop more carefully.
When the mini scientist heard the last words spoken to her by the "mysterious woman", her body trembled, and she felt a suffocating fear enveloping her from a distance.
"We are both God and devil, because we want to reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life."
If she had only heard this passage, she might have thought that Professor Agasa and Conan had not yet finished their second year of high school and were reading some science fiction novel online together.
But combined with the previous events, this mysterious tone, plus the diary owner's description of the "mysterious woman"... a code name suddenly jumped out of Haibara Ai's mind.
——Vermouth.
...Has the person who wrote the diary seen that terrifying Thousand-Faced Witch? ?
"The worst case scenario is that the owner of this diary has had contact with Vermouth, and now Conan has got the diary in his hands."
After sorting out the current situation, Huihara Ai's already frightened heart tensed up again: "I remember when Jiang Xia called back just now, he muttered casually, 'I just solved a case with Conan and I encountered another one'... So where did Kudo steal this diary from?!
"Given his personality, if he gets something from the organization, he will definitely be eager to open it and check it out immediately. In addition, he didn't solve the second case, but instead went home to read the diary... Kudo stole this diary, most likely when he and Jiang Xia were solving the previous case together.
"If the owner of the diary finds out that he has lost something so important, then Jiang Xia, who has been in the same place as Kudo, would become the biggest suspect, right? And if the organization finds out about this..."
Haibara Ai's pupils trembled slightly, and she wanted to run into the house immediately, grab Conan by the collar and make him explain everything that had happened before.
But she knew clearly that Kudo Shinichi was devoted to the organization. If this fake elementary school student with all the black technology refused to tell the truth, and teamed up with Dr. Agasa to take her down in the name of "for your own good", and then continued to pursue the case arrogantly...
Haibara Ai: “…” To be on the safe side, we must not alert the enemy. Let’s find someone who can easily suppress Professor Agasa and Conan to deal with it - and with Jiang Xia’s wisdom, he should be able to think of a way to get rid of this diary without alerting the organization.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai opened her cell phone, found Jiang Xia's contact information, and quietly sent him an email to tell him what was happening.
At the same time, she leaned her face against the door and continued to eavesdrop at the door.
Inside the room, the two people who had read the diary were very proactive in discussing the follow-up.
Dr. Agasa asked Conan: "What are you going to do next?"
"Do you even need to ask this?" Conan laughed, using a smile to suppress the tension in his heart:
"Of course, we should rush to Mr. Itakura's villa immediately, get the semi-finished software that he intends to hand over to the Black Organization, and then wait for the Black Organization to send an email to his computer - that email must contain a lot of important information, and at worst we can get the sender's address.
"According to the diary, the Black Organization will send him an email before midnight tonight. There are still three hours until midnight, which should be enough time for us to rush to his private villa."
"I see!" Dr. Agasa first praised the neighbor's idea as usual, and then he was a little surprised, "Wait, it's not written in the diary, how do you know where his villa is?"
Conan pushed his glasses and showed a sly smile: "After hearing from the mushroom-headed client that 'a burly man dressed in black and speaking with an Osaka accent had visited Itakura Taku', for the sake of safety, while Jiang Xia and one of the clients were trying to find Itakura Taku's hiding place, I asked the other two to list their usual places of residence."
Haibara Ai’s eyes went dark: The source of this diary is indeed related to Jiang Xia!
Just as the two were about to set off, Huibara suddenly remembered something. She tiptoed back to the room and picked up something like a mini pistol.
——Ever since she discovered that the Anonymous always carried various types of anesthetic needles, she consciously got herself such a set of equipment, hoping that one day she would be able to pass the assessment of the mysterious boss and officially join the Anonymous organization.
And now... it's time to use such weapons to calm down Conan and Dr. Agasa who want to rush into the organization.
There was a hint of ferocity in the mini scientist's eyes.
But at this moment, the phone buzzed and a message came.
Huibara Ai was stunned for a moment, put down the anesthetic needle and looked at the screen.
When she found out that the message was actually sent by Jiang Xia, her eyes lit up, she breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly clicked it.
I thought Jiang Xia would be anxious too, but the email only contained a very calm sentence:
[I understand. You don't have to do anything. I'll go to Dr. Agasa's house to find you later.]
Huibara Ai: “…” Just, just like that?
The anonymous reserve member who was ready to go looked at the anesthesia tools in his hand, listened to the noise outside, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
She had just eavesdropped and reported instantly, and had already told Jiang Xia about Dr. Agasa and Conan's plan, and also told him that she was confident that she could take down Dr. Agasa by a sneak attack, so that Kudo would not be able to find the driver to take him to Gunma Prefecture, and would be forced to slow down his journey until Jiang Xia returned.
"This action should not be dangerous. Since Jiang Xia is against it... does he have other plans?" Huiyuan Ai was puzzled for a moment, but finally put down the anesthetic needle and prayed secretly, "I hope everything goes well and the situation can be under Jiang Xia's control."
…
Soon, under the resentful gaze of a pair of eyes, an old man and a young man came to the living room stealthily and tiptoe.
Dr. Agasa made up an excuse in a hurry and left a note for Huiyuan Ai, asking her to go to bed early. Then the two looked at each other, and sneaked out of the house with even lighter hands and feet, and went into the garage.
Ai Haibara looked at Dr. Agasa who was trying to use his huge body to make his footsteps light, and sighed helplessly.
Then she went back to the house, changed into regular clothes, walked to the window, and while anxiously waiting for Jiang Xia to appear, she watched the car go farther and farther away until it finally disappeared from her sight.
…
Thinking they had successfully concealed the truth from Jiang Xia and Huihara Ai, the two men got into the Beetle and drove out of Tokyo.
It was snowing outside. Driving on the snowy mountain road, Conan breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now I was worried that Jiang Xia would come back and block me at home to ask for the disk. Fortunately, I managed to hide it from him."
