Akai Shuichi knew that Conan would not be afraid of him, but he forgot that there was a little girl next to Sugawa. When they returned home, Akai Shuichi was busy bringing the food to the table, but when the girl saw him, she was like a rabbit seeing a wolf, her fur stood up, and she hid behind Sugawa with a stiff expression. According to Akai Shuichi's vision, he could see that she was trembling.

He and Qichuan Yuan looked at each other and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with her?"

Conan noticed the movement, poked his head out of the study, and said naturally: "I'm afraid of you."

"Brother, please be more restrained. You scared her." Qichuan Yuan sighed helplessly and comforted Huiyuan Ai, "Don't be afraid, Ai, he is not a bad person. He is the person we met on the road before."

Huiyuan Ai: "..."

She tightly tugged at Qichuan Yuan's pants, not wanting to hear a word he said. She had some cold sweat on her forehead, and tremblingly whispered, "He is from the organization."

Qichuan Yuan gently pried her hands apart, turned around and squatted in front of her, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, he is trustworthy, don't be afraid."

Huihara Ai shook her head, her face as pale as paper.

The feeling this person gave her was even more terrifying than in the villa, making her a little breathless. She wanted to stay calm, but she couldn't control her body's instincts.

Qichuan Yuan kept comforting her, but it was of no use.

He turned around and looked at the man standing leisurely beside the dining table, "Brother, if you don't accept it, you can get out."

Akai Shuichi touched the tip of his nose helplessly.

In the end, they managed to achieve a balance, but the psychological shadow cast by Akai Shuichi on Haibara Ai was too great. During meals, she sat close to Sugawa Gen and ate with her head down, ignoring everyone and returning to her room after taking only a few bites.

She didn't even eat her peanut butter sandwich.

Gen Sugawa watched her return to the room worriedly, and then glared at Shuichi Akai angrily.

This is the guy, damn bad taste, if he wants to pretend, he will do it perfectly. But Haibara Ai was so scared, he must have been watching the fun.

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Guilty heart averts eyes.

After quietly eating a few more mouthfuls, Akai Shuichi raised his head and met Sugawa Gen's eyes. He took a sip of water and suddenly asked, "Do you really want to take this risk?"

Qichuan Yuan nodded calmly: "There is no other way. If it is really as we guessed, this is the simplest and least risky method."

"But the risk is high for you. If you are not careful, you could lose your life. If we guess wrong, you might lose your life in vain."

Shuichi Akai didn't agree with the plan that Morobushi Kagemitsu said, or rather, he didn't agree with it at all. Although he knew that the final decision would still be made by the Japanese police, he still had some complaints about Morobushi Kagemitsu, "We can have a better way."

"There is no time. The longer we delay, the greater the risk. This action will be very large. And there is a high possibility that the police have undercover agents from the organization. No matter which possibility it is, as long as the organization is aware of the police's actions, we will have no chance.

This is almost a decisive operation. If we miss this opportunity, the police will be alarmed and the organization will definitely be more vigilant, and it will be difficult in the future. "Qikawa Gen laughed briefly, "Besides, it doesn't matter, you know I have the ability to protect myself. If an accident really happens, I will escape successfully."

Shuichi Akai couldn't refute it, it was indeed true. And Gen Sugawa was just a humanoid weapon, except that his luck was sometimes a little bad. Besides, his physical quality was a little low, and he was full of diseases...

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any reason to agree.

Conan listened to them quietly for a few sentences, and suddenly realized that the three of them were talking about something very important while he was studying the USB flash drive. He couldn't wait to speak: "What are you talking about? Is it a plan against the Boss?"

Akai Shuichi paused and glanced at him quickly with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Qichuan Yuan was silent, and he felt a little guilty, which was rare. His eyes shifted away suddenly.

"…Nothing."

Conan naturally didn't believe it. Although Sugawa Gen didn't tell him, he could guess it from their conversation.

He asked tentatively: "Are you going to be a bait to catch the Boss?"

Qichuan Yuan chuckled and denied: "Why do you think so? We are talking about game tactics."

Conan: "..."

Conan was helpless: "Don't take me for a fool."

His eyes sparkled and he said earnestly, "Tell me quickly, I can help."

"How can you help? You can't lift anything with your hands or carry anything on your shoulders. You'll just be cannon fodder if you go." Akai Shuichi spoke unexpectedly, but the content of his words made Conan's eyes light up.

"No!" Conan stood up on the chair excitedly, "I have props, and the most important thing, my brain."

Qichuan Yuan said coldly: "Come down."

Conan froze, and sat down with a wooden face under the death gaze of Sugawa Gen.

Qichuan Yuan nodded with satisfaction, frowned and glanced at Akai Shuichi, "How could you tell him this? Why did you tell him this?"

Shuichi Akai threw his hands up innocently and asked, "Didn't you tell me that he could be trusted?"

"Yes, I can be trusted! I will help, Qichuan!" Conan seemed to have grasped hope, and instantly turned to Akai Shuichi as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "I will definitely not be a drag, you know!"

Qichuan Yuan looked at him disapprovingly and said firmly, "No, it will be too dangerous if no one takes care of you."

Conan was anxious. He stood up subconsciously and said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me!"

The idea of ​​catching the Boss with his own hands was completely shattered after he met Gin. But this did not prevent him from catching the Boss with his own eyes!

"Don't I know you well enough?" Qichuan Yuan exposed him coldly, "You never obey orders. Isn't it what you want to have no one to take care of you? It's convenient for you to explore freely. If you go, it will be a problem whether I can find you when the time comes."

Conan was at a loss for words for a moment, but it was undeniable that he did have this idea.

But he couldn't give up. Conan was influenced by the atmosphere they created. For a moment, he ignored the fact that he could secretly follow them, and subconsciously put himself in the position of the child, and he had to ask for the consent of the elders for everything he did.

He moved his fork sullenly, stared at me with dead eyes and threatened me: "If you don't agree, I will sneak away."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong for a moment, but his attention was quickly diverted by the furious Qichuan Gen - "Can you please listen to me! It's really dangerous there. What if you are discovered by someone from the organization due to negligence? What if the situation gets chaotic and no one can take care of you? What if you get hurt? What about your parents, Uncle Mori and Ran Mori? What about them? What about me?

Conan, you can't do this, you can't be so selfish."

Qichuan Yuan scolded him in a stern voice, and only then realized that he had gone too far. He subconsciously glanced at Conan who was stunned there, his face stiffened, and he changed the subject abruptly, "I don't agree."

He slammed the cutlery on the table and went back upstairs with a cold and stiff back.

Conan came back to his senses and looked at the figure disappearing around the corner in panic. He lowered his head in frustration.

Akai Shuichi drank some water awkwardly and comforted him awkwardly: "He's just worried that you'd get hurt."

Conan nodded dejectedly, "I understand."

But he was a little unconvinced, "But I don't need care, and I won't hinder the operation, why don't you let me go?"

Akai Shuichi was silent, pulled the corner of his mouth with something to say, and drank some water.

To be honest, there is a reason why Conan can become friends with Sugawa Gen, they are both stubborn.

He glanced at the absent-minded Conan and kindly acted like a good guy.

"You are still young. Although you are very smart and have advanced equipment, it is undeniable that you are unable to protect yourself. In such a critical situation, no one can protect you.

Bullets have no eyes, and human lives in that situation are just a bunch of meaningless numbers that continue to increase.

It was okay for us to go because we were alone and had nothing to worry about.

But you can't. You have family, friends, and many other people around you. Your life has just begun. You can't lose your precious life in such a dark place."

As he spoke, Akai Shuichi took another sip of water with a tangled expression, his eyes full of complexity.

"If you really want to go, I have a way."

Conan looked up instantly, "What?"

"Stay beside the commander and don't run around."

Conan frowned and gritted his teeth, "Okay."

As long as I can witness the overthrow of the organization, it doesn't matter if I stay there quietly.

Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief, "Just leave it here after you finish eating. I'll clean it up later. Think about it carefully, and then go apologize to Qichuan."

Conan was stunned and nodded stiffly.

He lowered his eyes, staring at his fingers unfocusedly.

It cannot be denied that what Qichuan Yuan said did give him a big shock. He suddenly began to doubt whether he was really wrong by doing this.

Akai Shuichi looked at him with satisfaction, turned around and went back upstairs.

He glanced at Conan who was quietly thinking about life at the table, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

I feel that the words I just said are not so hypocritical.

He returned to his room with a serious expression, and after closing the door, he visibly relaxed.

"nailed it?"

Shuichi Akai turned around and looked at Gen Sugawa, who was sitting on the carpet with his legs crossed and a biscuit in his mouth, playing games. His face was full of excitement and nervousness, and he could not see the anger downstairs.

Good acting skills, it's a pity that he didn't become an actor.

Akai Shuichi sighed.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Qichuan Yuan looked at him and smiled.

The moment was gone in a flash, his fingers flying, "Come on, come on, help me!" Qichuan Yuan ate the biscuits like a rabbit, crunching and shouting to him anxiously.

Shuichi Akai sighed, then walked over and took the game console in a compromising manner.

Forget it, it's Conan's bad luck to have such a friend.
