Chapter 229
Kogoro Mori was indeed moved.
Conan was startled, and without caring about his face, he quickly jumped up and protested loudly:
"No! I don't want to go to Dr. Agasa's house. I also want to go to the banquet with Sister Xiaolan!"
Mao Lilan was also somewhat tempted, and seeing Conan kept clamoring to go, she said hesitantly:
"But Conan, won't you feel bored accompanying us to the master's banquet? Last time, you were playing hide-and-seek in the banquet hall and were caught and scolded by the old butler..."
Then Mao Lilan thought of the old housekeeper of the Kamimura family, who was probably in prison now, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Conan was so anxious that he started jumping up and down. He grabbed Ran's thigh and started to act coquettishly:
"No, Sister Xiaolan, I won't run around again this time. Just take me with you! Let's go!"
Mao Lilan was soft-hearted to begin with, and he pestered her so much that she had no choice but to nod and agree. Xingchuan and Ming were laughing secretly, and Conan secretly glared at them several times, and they laughed even louder. Conan secretly swore in his heart, damn Xingchuan! When I recover, I will definitely beat him up!
That afternoon, a wrinkled lemon Conan was found in Professor Agasa's house.
"That guy Hoshikawa is so hateful! He knew that I am Kudo Shinichi, but he still invited Xiaolan in front of me. That guy must have done it on purpose!" Conan Edogawa said angrily while sitting on the sofa.
"Well, but Shinichi, didn't Xiaolan finally agree to take you with her? That's good too." Dr. Agasa laughed perfunctorily.
Ai Haibara yawned as she brought herself a cup of coffee. She glanced at Conan Edogawa sarcastically and said:
"Oh, isn't it because you acted coquettishly towards your sister Xiaolan again and Xingchuan laughed at you in front of her that you feel embarrassed?"
Conan immediately jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, and shouted at Huihara Ai: "That must have been his deliberate plan! In any case, it's all Hoshikawa's fault!"
Huiyuan Ai still had a cold face, holding the coffee cup elegantly, and gave him a disdainful look with a sidelong glance, commenting coldly:
"Oh, loser!"
Conan lost color instantly.
At this time, Dr. Agasa used his computer to search for news about the Kamimura family. The new head of the family was being promoted everywhere, but the death of the previous head of the family did not cause any waves. Dr. Agasa searched for a long time before he found a very small piece of news.
"The world is so cruel. He is the previous head of the family, but he is being forgotten so quickly. Hmm? Is he Kamimura Sachiro? I remember that he was a famous pharmacist when he was young. But later I heard that he was going back to inherit the family business, so he retired from the scientific world. I didn't expect him to die so early."
"Medicine?" Conan's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately looked at Huibara Ai expectantly. "Huibara, haven't you already obtained some of the drug data for aptx-4869? Can't you make the real antidote faster?"
Huihara rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's not as simple as you think. I only have half the information, which is not enough to support me in developing a complete antidote. If it is an incomplete antidote, it will be like drinking poison to quench thirst. It will only increase the body's resistance to the antidote again and again, and it is very likely that it will never recover in the future."
Conan sighed in disappointment and became depressed again.
Just as Haibara Ai was about to look away, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the picture of the deceased Uemura Sachiro on the computer screen that the doctor had opened. Haibara Ai was startled and the coffee in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
"Habara? What's wrong with you?"
"This person... this person is... Hoshikawa's father?" Haibara Ai pointed at the photo of Kamimura Sachiro on the screen, shocked and speechless.
"Yes, this is the deceased head of the Kamimura family, and the biological father of Hoshikawa Kazuaki, Kamimura Sachiro." Conan looked at the suddenly nervous Haibara Ai with worry, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked: "Wait... Haibara, do you know this person? Who is he?"
Perhaps she had realized that this person was dead, Huibara Ai took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and finally regained her composure.
"You guessed it right. This guy is a member of that organization. His code name is Kang Ting. He was once a member of the scientific research team. But as far as I know, this guy is not valued by the organization. He just holds resources that the organization values very much. In addition, he has certain abilities, so he was given a code name. But I don't know why, I haven't seen him in the organization for many years."
Ai Huihara looked at the narrow eyes of Kang Ting on the computer screen and finally understood why she felt so familiar when she saw Xingchuan and Ming a few days ago. The eyes of the two people looked almost exactly the same, they were indeed father and son.
However, the irony is that as a father, Kang Ting was so eager to be treated differently by the top leaders of the organization that he even dragged his entire family into the water in order to obtain the code name. However, his sons Xingchuan and Ming were raised by Baifu, who was determined to get rid of the boss. Now, in order to fight against the organization, they are willing to stand on the side that wants to destroy the organization.
Conan also stared at the screen in shock for a long time, muttering:
"Kanting? So this person is the unknown third member of the organization in the banquet hall that day? No, that's not right! Kamimura Sachiro, also known as Kanting, was killed shortly after the banquet started, but when Xingchuan told me that there was still a third person, the banquet had already ended. So, this so-called third person must be someone else!"
"You mean, the last time the Kamimura family held a banquet, the people from that organization also went? But, didn't the police take over the banquet directly because someone died? Even if the people from that organization wanted to do something, it would be too late, right?"
Dr. Agasa stroked his beard and analyzed.
Conan pretended to think and nodded, "Right. So since they didn't succeed last time, the organization will definitely continue to look for opportunities. And since Kang Ting himself is a member of the organization, why would the organization send someone else? It's obvious that they are going for the heir. So this time, the organization will definitely send someone to attend the banquet hosted by the new head of the Kamimura family."
Thinking of this, Conan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Not only that, since the organization was able to give a code name for the connections and power of the Kamimura family, now they will definitely approach the new head of the Kamimura family again for the same reason. So this time, whether for Xiaolan or for investigating the organization, I must attend the banquet!"
At this moment, Haibara Ai suddenly said, "This is too dangerous. Unless you bring a bodyguard, I will never allow you to take the risk." As she said this, Haibara Ai looked towards the Kudo residence next door. It was clear who the so-called "bodyguard" was.
Conan was stunned. "But Mr. Akai seems to be very busy these days. I went to see him before, and he had a secret discussion with Mr. Black for a long time. It seems that there are some network problems at the FBI headquarters."
Huiyuan Ai frowned and said firmly, "If no one is protecting you, do you still want to fight against the organization alone without any protective measures? You are not investigating at all. You are playing with the safety of yourself and the Maori family!"
Conan pursed his lips, obviously listening, and compromised: "I'll try to contact - well, I mean, I'll find someone to go with me."
Seeing Conan's half-hearted attitude towards his identity, Haibara Ai snorted in annoyance.
