Short, short, short, long...

Ai Huihara crossed her arms over her chest and said, "But it's better for you to do what an elementary school student should do now."

"Really? I get it!" Conan stared at the red dot depressedly and began to recall his high school life.

Long, long, long, short, short, short...

……? !

Conan suddenly reacted, this was a distress signal!

The simplest Morse code was used to send out the SOS distress signal.

The distress signal should have been sent today. He had never seen a similar red dot here before - otherwise he would not have discovered it now.

Although he still felt something was a bit strange, saving lives was the most important thing, so he put aside the strange feeling in his intuition.

The words after sos are eye-catg and tv, the letter n, and then a string of numbers.

Eye-cat means eye-catching, and tv means television.

The meanings of the two words cannot be said to be exactly the same, but rather to be completely unrelated.

And the letter e, the fifth in the alphabet... No, maybe that's not the answer.

"Haibara, please solve this code." Conan sighed and turned to look at the brown-haired girl next to him.

He was originally a well-known high school detective named Kudo Shinichi, but one day when he went to a tropical park with his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, he followed a man in black and was fed drugs and became smaller.

The girl with brown hair is Haibara Ai, whose real name is Miyano Shiho. She is a researcher in the organization to which the man in black belongs. She has an amazing talent for research and developed aptx-4869 at the age of seventeen. Oh, the drug that made him smaller.

"Hmm?" Huibara Ai looked up at him.

"This infrared dot is transmitting some information." Conan explained, then he turned his head and looked around to determine the direction from which the infrared light came.

"I'm going to the other side of the street."

Conan said this and then ran across the road.

Opposite was a row of trash cans. Conan circled around them a few times before he discovered the real source of the infrared rays.

The infrared laser seemed to be emitted by a small metal disc, the back of which was probably attached to the inside of the trash can with double-sided tape.

Very secretive.

Infrared rays cannot see paths, they can only see spots of light projected onto objects.

If he wasn't very tall and hadn't just happened to be standing there, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Conan took off the small metal disc.

The silver-white metal shone with a cold luster, and the shape was not a disc, but a smooth metal ring. The infrared light was hidden inside the ring.

The production is particularly exquisite.

Haibara Ai soon followed. She took the metal ring from Conan's hand, looked at it repeatedly, and then threw the ring away as if she had been electrocuted.

At the same time, her expression became one of fear and her pupils shrank.

The brown-haired girl suddenly grabbed Conan's clothes and said in a trembling tone due to fear, "You can't go...!"

Conan was very familiar with this kind of expression, and he also changed his expression, hurriedly and even impatiently grasped Huibara Ai's wrist, "Is it related to that organization?!"

"You can't go. This is not something you can get involved in," Huibara said sadly, answering the question irrelevantly.

But this sentence can also be regarded as tacit consent. She loosened her grip on Conan's clothes and said, "You also know who those people are. Even if the person who left the message is in danger, there is nothing we can do as two children."

Her tone was still a little trembling, but her expression was serious and earnest as she warned.

"No," Conan refused flatly. "No matter what, the person who left the distress signal must have wanted to survive. We are not qualified to issue a death notice for him."

"If you haven't encountered it, it's fine. But if you have, you must do your best to save it."

"Then let's just hand it over to the FBI investigator," Huihara Ai said, "Let them..."

"Haibara." Conan interrupted her and looked at her with a strange color in his sapphire blue eyes.

"..." Huiyuan Ai stared at him expressionlessly for a while, and finally sighed, "I knew it."

She also knew that she couldn't persuade this persistent detective. She didn't want the people around her to be in danger no matter what. But how could she refuse such a statement?

After all, she was attracted by the shining sunshine of these people.

"That place should be the organization's base," Huihara Ai returned to her usual cold expression, glanced at Conan's suddenly excited expression, and slowly poured a bucket of cold water on him, "But it has been abandoned long ago."

"To be precise, that place has never been used."

Conan Edogawa calmed down his overly excited expression and asked, "Do you know its address?"

"It's northwest of Tokyo Tower." Huihara Ai said, "That's all I know."

Seeing Conan looking somewhat distressed, Haibara Ai pursed her lips.

In fact, she knew the exact address, but she didn't want Conan Edogawa to really go there and put himself in danger. However, she also wanted to save that person - even though she didn't know who that person was, she always thought that person must be saved.

This contradictory mentality made her give Conan a hint, but it was very vague.

If that person is still alive when they get there.

Huihara Ai lowered her eyes.

It proves that he has a chance to survive and it has nothing to do with her.
