In the end, the birthday party at night was still held at the last minute.

Because they were so busy. First, they treated the wounds, and then they dealt with various matters, reported the incidents, etc. Whether it was Jiang Lai, Matsuda Jinpei, Morobushi Kagemitsu, or even Kurosawa Akira, they were all very busy.

It was not until half an hour before midnight that they rushed home one after another. A burst of fireworks were set off, they opened their gifts, hurriedly lit candles, made wishes, and cut the cake, completing the procedures. The clock also happened to point to 12 o'clock.

"Ah... I promised to celebrate my birthday properly." Matsuda Jinpei cut off a large piece of butter with a knife and piled it aside. He said with a long tone, "In the end, I rushed to catch the last train."

"That's good, it's a very memorable day!" Jiang Lai said with a smile, "And I remember that you were the first to give me a gift and blessing."

"Eh? I'm not the first one? It's obvious that Matsuda brother was later than me just now." Kurosawa Akira's eyes widened. He just took advantage of his small stature to put the gift into Jiang Lai's hands first. "When?"

Zhufu Jingguang tilted his head slightly and guessed accurately: "It was when Matsuda went to pick up Jiang Lai today? Maybe it was the second gift tonight."

"Hmm... so Brother Jiang Lai will only remember the first one?" The silver-haired boy lowered his head somewhat disappointedly.

Jiang Lai patted the other person's head and replied gently, "Of course not. Matsuda's gift is the first, Xiao Zhao's gift is the cutest, and Jing Guang's gift is the most practical. I like them all. They have different appearances and functions, but they are all priceless treasures to me, and they are equally good."

"Just like you all are in my heart. You are all special, but you are also my important family members."

Kurosawa Akira raised his eyes, and the gray-green color of his eyes became brighter under the candlelight. Morofushi Keimitsu frowned, and he leaned to one side leisurely.

Then Matsuda Jinpei next to him interjected, "You are getting better and better at speaking, Jiang Lai." His tone was somewhat teasing, "Your speaking skills have improved."

Suddenly the atmosphere at the scene was gone!

"Hey, I'm speaking from the heart. What do you mean by your rhetoric is getting better and better—" Jiang Lai suddenly raised his hand, quickly wiped the cream that Matsuda Jinpei had just cut off, and rushed over, "Watch out!"

"Wow...! Too childish!" Matsuda Jinpei was caught off guard and had cream all over his face. He said this but took a few steps back and quickly got his hands covered in cream in retaliation.

Kurosawa Akira excitedly joined the cream battle. Morobushi Kagemitsu wanted to watch with a smile, but after being hit in the face by a plate of cream thrown by someone unknown, his smile became bright but with a hint of chill. He picked up the plate of cream easily and naturally and joined the "melee".

The scene ended in a mess, with everyone covered in butter and panting. They all collapsed on the soft carpet in the living room, staggering in the semi-dim light.

"Oh... That's terrible. I have to do a big cleanup tomorrow. I have to wash all the clothes, carpets, and tablecloths."

"What a waste of food..."

"It's not available in the first place, and no one likes cream."

"There are only two bathrooms in the house. I need to take a shower first."

"I'll wash it first—you just made my hair all sticky and creamy."

"…What? I'm covered in cream too. It's the same for everyone."

Everyone was laughing, and the bright notes danced among the four of them. With the gentle moonlight streaming in from the window, everything was beautiful and peaceful.

This will be the most unforgettable birthday. Jiang Lai's warm brown eyes slightly curved, and he looked at his family members around him with a gentle expression.

——This scene will remain in my heart forever.

The organization was finally destroyed, and those that remained were no longer a threat. After a simple but powerful cleanup, the people who had once hidden on the margins could finally walk in the sun and meet their loved ones without any scruples.

Morofushi Kagemitsu tore off his disguise and went to Nagano Prefecture to see his brother, Miyano Akemi took off her mask and hugged little Haibara Ai, Matsuda Jinpei returned to his identity as a police officer and put on his uniform again, and countless people reunited and reunited in invisible and visible places.

Those who have passed away are also solemnly and seriously commemorated and are deeply engraved in this history.

The five members of the police academy also had a party. Hagiwara said that he was kept in the dark about so many things, and Date Kou said that he seemed to be completely isolated from the world. They laughed and the party turned into a friendly fistfight halfway through.

Jiang Lai did not attend their gathering, but contacted Instructor Onitsuka in another way, revealed the address and time, and sincerely welcomed Instructor Onitsuka to the five-person gathering for a "huge surprise."

The comics forum was filled with screams, flowers and cries for the series to end. All the major writers and illustrators came out to stage a final ceremony for the series to end. People on the forum started posting messages one after another, saying "never say goodbye".

Since every journey has an end, every story has a conclusion, so offer your most sincere love and touching moments at the last moment.

Jiang Lai's brainwashing treatment package arrived soon after, but unlike the time with Akai, facing the absolutely cooperative Jiang Lai, the process was of course much gentler.

However, the pain will not be reduced, and the treatment process is always cold and objective.

However, when Jiang Lai curled up in pain and trembled, with faint gasping sobs escaping his mouth and physiological tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, there was always someone beside him patting and comforting him, whispering softly and soothing his tense spirit.

In order to prevent Jiang Lai from being hurt by the nails of his clenched fist, someone also held his hand and would not let go even if Jiang Lai tried to tighten it, conveying warmth and patience.

Family and friends were by his side.

After the destruction of the organization was largely completed, there followed a long period of pursuit and distribution of interests among all parties, as well as the progress of bomb disposal around the world.

The execution of the criminals, the ownership of the organization's data, and the distribution of the laboratories were all issues that needed to be discussed in the next meeting. Jiang Lai himself was not interested in this, but after thinking about Xiao Zhao's situation, he regained his spirits and concentrated his attention to participate.

The antidote for the freezing and APTX4869 was still handed over to the Public Security Research Institute, which had previous experience and deployment. With the complete drug data that Jiang Lai got from the organization, the antidote was produced in a short time.

After ensuring the safety of the medicine, Jiang Lai got the antidote to lift the frozen age and handed it to Kurosawa Akira.

He looked at Kurosawa Akira gently, without saying anything, and waited quietly for the other party's choice.

The silver-haired boy stared at the small antidote in his hand in a daze. The growth he had been looking forward to was right in front of him, and once he took this small pill, everything might change dramatically.

"...Brother Jiang Lai." Kurosawa Akira called out hesitantly.

"I'm here." Jiang Lai answered, with a firm tone and a smile, "I'm always here."

Kurosawa Akira raised his gray-green eyes and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him. The breeze blew his hair, gently caressing his cheeks, enveloping the scent of green grass and distant flowers.

The silver-haired boy slowly revealed a brilliant smile: "...Yeah."

Then he picked up the cup of water beside him without hesitation and drank the antidote.

——The lost childhood has been made up, and the future is still accompanied by family members. Even if they are not by my side, they are always my family.

Xiao Zhao has been able to step out of her timid shell and grow into a real adult.

The antidote for APTX4869 was also created and given to Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara. The former savior of Tokyo, Kudo Shinichi, finally returned, and Xiaolan's wait finally ushered in the moment of meeting him. His young and energetic face reappeared in the news.

Miyano Akemi is still alive, and Haibara Ai also drinks the antidote and transforms into Miyano Shiho, accompanying her sister.

Conan, Haibara Ai, and Kurosawa Akira left Teitan Elementary School and explained to the children of the Junior Detective Team that they were going abroad. Although the children were a little disappointed, they still sincerely wished their friends a better future.

They soon made new friends. The new semester was re-assigned to new classes, and Natsume and Kuroko were transferred to the Junior Detective Corps class and joined the Junior Detective Corps. They happily continued the children's crime-solving game.

The organization was destroyed, but the people in the hidden camp are still there, and a large number of them are former scientific researchers. After a long discussion among the top leaders, they finally decided to restore the joint research institute that once benefited mankind as those people wished.

This time, the establishment of rules and personal power issues were planned in advance to ensure that no irreversible tragedy would occur again.

After much discussion and debate, the temporary manager of the joint research institute finally fell on the original boss and hidden boss of the institute.

This time it was Akira Kurosawa who took on the role.

After taking the antidote, Kurosawa Akira's frozen age was lifted, but because there was still some drug residue left, his age did not jump to his real age, but to around 20 years old. It was also the prime of youth.

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "I said it before. You gave it to me, and now I give it back to you. Besides, you were once trained as a superior, so you are more suitable and more familiar with the institute than me."

"Besides, I'm not interested in this. I have to go home."

"So, I leave it to you, Xiao Zhao." Jiang Lai's eyes sparkled. "I believe that in your hands, it will become a real organization that conducts scientific research for the benefit of a wider group of people."

The organization's true hidden boss, Akira Kurosawa, will carry forward the torch of hope and light and continue to pass it on.

Jiang Lai knew that Kurosawa Akira wanted to do it and could do it.

He raised his hand and placed it on the other's shoulder - now Kurosawa Akira was almost as tall as him, or even a little taller. Jiang Lai smiled and said, "You did it - you became a great hero."

Kurosawa Akira, who was already a silver-haired young man, raised the corners of his lips and replied softly: "...Yeah."

——He did it.

The meeting of the joint organization is still going on. The conflict of interest between the FBI and the Japanese Public Security Bureau still exists. The Metropolitan Police Department is also on duty today, and the detectives are solving cases on the spot as usual. Gin is free and unrestrained abroad, and he maintains a nonchalant attitude in the face of a transnational wanted order. The research institute is thriving, carrying out a series of experiments that make people look forward to and enjoy.

Life goes on.

The company's inspection mission had been completed long ago, and after receiving the notification to return home, Jiang Lai began to pack up.

On the day he was leaving for the airport, ready to go home, many people came to see him off. Family, friends, and people who had helped and collaborated with him all said goodbye to him in different ways.

Jiang Lai said goodbye to them one by one, pulling his suitcase, and finally waved his hand -

The sunlight illuminated his figure, the young man was filled with golden color, and his smile was brilliant and bright, the color of the future.

The mountains remain green and the waters flow forever.

See you later! Jiang Lai finally shouted with a smile.
