Chapters 3514 & 3526 [The Exposed Organization Base] Requesting monthly votes o(〃'▽'〃)o
A closed vehicle is obviously a good place for friendly exchanges and communication.
Five or six minutes later, the constantly shaking car door finally opened, and the middle-aged man with curly hair fell out of the car, tumbling and crawling towards Officer Sato.
What are you trying to do?!
Officer Takagi cautiously stepped in front of his colleague, but the middle-aged man with curly hair did not stop his attack and plunged headfirst into his arms without hesitation.
Officer Takagi stared at this familiar scene: "...?"
"I stabbed him, and I stabbed him the previous times too!" The middle-aged man with curly hair burst into tears.
“My life is so monotonous, just repairing cars, repairing cars, and repairing cars day after day… I just want to escape this mundane life and have everyone’s attention on me, but…”
But why is the only thing focused on him? That wretched baton? How could that devil keep hitting him so relentlessly in such a narrow car?
Behind him.
As the passenger door opened and closed, Jiang Xia, exuding a strong, menacing aura reminiscent of gasoline, stepped out hesitantly.
The good news is that the owner of the murderous aura wanted to cause a huge uproar in the world, but he failed to kill anyone in four consecutive crimes, so his murderous aura was not diminished at all.
The bad news is that... aside from Noah, probably no one would eat this.
Oh well, at least it's a high-grade killing intent, and its effectiveness is much better than ordinary killing intent.
Thinking this, Jiang Xia carefully put away the mass of killing intent and threw it into a corner where messy killing intents were piled up.
...
On his way home from the police station, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya breathed a sigh of relief and was somewhat happy: "Now that the criminal has been caught, Ai's worries won't happen—that uncle can't take revenge on Ayumi anymore! Even if he's released later, he... uh, he'll probably go find Ena-nii."
Then they'll get beaten up again and sent to the police station, creating a perfect cycle.
Ayumi Yoshida raised her chin: "Actually, I'm not afraid of his revenge at all. Everyone will protect me! Ai, you too... huh?"
She belatedly realized something and looked around: "Where's Ai?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya keeps a close eye on every girl he likes. He pointed to the intersection behind him and said, "She just turned into the shopping street with Jiang Xia. They must be going to buy groceries. Ah, I wish I could eat Ai's cooking every day. Professor Agasa is so lucky."
Conan: "..." You're overthinking things. If it weren't for your rather naive ideas about other things, I would really suspect that you're also a fellow sufferer who was shrunk by aptX4869.
...
On the other side.
There were actually still groceries at home. Ai Haibara was walking this way, but Jiang Xia had just turned off at this intersection.
After completely separating from her classmates, she jogged a few steps and caught up with Jiang Xia.
During the case just now, she felt that Ayumi's situation today was very similar to her own.
So, after much deliberation, Ai Haibara stopped thinking and decided to leave her fate to destiny: if the culprit wasn't caught and held a grudge against Ayumi, then hiding would be the better option.
But if the murderer is caught and everything is resolved smoothly... then choose to believe things won't get too bad and stay here.
Unexpectedly, things went even more smoothly than she had anticipated—Jiang Xia resolved everything without Ayumi even having to take any risks.
Ai Haibara: "..." In that case, based on the previous decision, it seems she should choose to refuse the witness protection program?
That being said, when the moment came, this mini-scientist, shrouded in the organization's shadow, hesitated once again: after all, it wasn't just her who would be affected by this choice, but also those around her, especially Jiang Xia, who was closely connected to the organization.
Thinking of this, Ai Haibara looked up at Jiang Xia and pondered for a moment before asking, "If... if I choose to refuse the witness protection program and stay here, will it cause you a lot of trouble?"
Jiang Xia glanced at her, seemingly puzzled: "Why would there be trouble?"
Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then replied blankly, "Because, because I am a traitor to the organization. If one day they discover the true identity of 'Ai Haibara' and find out that I have been hiding around you all along, they will definitely take action against you."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "So you need to hide it well and try not to let them know."
Ai Haibara was never a very confident person, and upon hearing this, she felt a weight on her shoulders: "But what if I'm exposed, or what if they somehow find out my whereabouts and then interrogate you..."
Jiang Xia followed her words and imagined for a moment: "..." Then that perceptive but unlucky person will probably become a new blind box full of possibilities, just like the elderly Pisco, or Ireland in the future.
However, there's no need to tell these things to this mini-scientist who reveres science.
Jiang Xia casually replied, "Don't worry, even if someone asks, they won't get any answers."
"It's not that simple." Ai Haibara recalled seeing Jodie in the basement not long ago, still feeling lingering fear. "The organization's interrogation methods are constantly being updated, making them impossible to guard against. If we arouse their suspicion, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Interrogation methods are constantly being updated?" Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then realized that he had no recollection of the so-called new interrogation methods.
After all, interrogations usually need to be conducted in a sufficiently secure place, such as the organization's stronghold.
But Gin wouldn't let him go to the outposts, hiding each base like a treasure, afraid that he would see them.
"Sigh, what's there to hide? The base is supposed to serve the organization's members. Aren't I a member of the organization?"
Jiang Xia muttered a few words of dissatisfaction to himself, but soon, he thought of something and his mood improved.
Recently, he actually noticed a great base – thanks to Calvados, who is a wonderful colleague who keeps surprising people.
"Jiang Xia? Jiangxia?"
A voice came from the side, and a small hand tugged at his clothes, interrupting his thoughts.
Ai Haibara remembered the conversation from earlier and noticed that Jiang Xia was lost in thought, so her heart skipped a beat: "Are you alright?"
Could it be...?
She started making all sorts of terrible assumptions again, but before she could even start thinking about them, Jiang Xia snapped out of her daze and looked down at her.
"I was thinking about something else just now." The neighbor patted her head, looking quite pleased. "Don't worry, a detective's brain is very valuable, and the organization won't waste such a resource."
...Speaking of detectives, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take Conan out for a walk.
Beside him, Ai Haibara looked up at him with some unease, only to find that Jiang Xia seemed to be in an even better mood than before.
Ai Haibara: "...?"
