Dr. Agasa's home in Tokyo, Japan.
"Okay, don't be angry, Huiyuan..."
Conan sat on the sofa, rubbing his head and looking at Haihara Ai, who was also sitting on the sofa opposite, with an awkward smile.
"I was indeed impulsive when we were in the amusement park and violated our previous agreement. I want to apologize to you for this..."
Haiyuan Ai was looking at him with a straight face at this time, her expression was very bad, and she was probably in a state where she might come up and give him two big tricks at any time.
"Hmph..." Listening to Conan's somewhat sincere but modest apology, Haihara Ai just sneered.
"Ah, will the great detective actually apologize? Why didn't you think so when you hung up on me before?"
"Well..."
Conan continued to laugh awkwardly, lowered his head, and raised his hand to scratch his hair vigorously.
"Anyway, I promise! This kind of thing will never happen again next time!"
Detectives don't fight against the odds, so Conan chose to avoid the topic directly. No matter what the situation was, it was definitely right to apologize first.
Even though Haibara looks aggressive, she is actually a very soft-hearted person.
"Really?"
However, this time, Hui Yuan Ai was not as easy to talk to as before. Faced with Conan's initiative to surrender, she still pressed forward step by step.
"It seems that a certain great detective has said this many times before, right? It's the same this time. He clearly said that he must obey me in everything and will keep in communication with me throughout the process. What's the result?"
"I'm really sorry, Haiyuan, it was just the circumstances at that time..."
"snort!"
"sorry……"
"This is not something that can be solved by just saying sorry..."
Haibara Ai is indeed a soft-hearted person. Faced with Conan's repeated apologies, she really can no longer maintain this aggressive attitude.
Sighing softly, Hui Yuan Ai lowered his eyes with a sad expression.
"Sister's matter is my own business. I am already very guilty for dragging you into this matter this time. If something unexpected happens to you again, how can I feel okay..."
"Haiyuan..." Looking at Haiyuan Ai who suddenly revealed what was in his heart, Conan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Kudo."
It was extremely rare that Conan's real name was called out. Haiyuan Ai looked up at him, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"I know you want to help me, I know this very well, but I hope you can protect your own safety during this process. If even you... even you have an accident because of my things, then I …”
Haibara Ai didn't finish the last sentence, but Conan already understood what she meant.
"Ok, I know."
Without saying too much, Conan nodded heavily with a serious expression.
"It won't happen next time, I promise."
But Hui Yuan Ai didn't reply to him, just leaned back on the sofa and sighed quietly.
"Shinichi, Xiao Ai, do you want to come over for lemon pie later?"
At this moment, Dr. A Li appeared at the right time, dispelling the somewhat weird atmosphere between the two.
"I don't need it, and you're not allowed to eat it, Doctor!" Haiyuan Ai suddenly turned around, glared at Dr. A Li, and said word by word:
"The doctor who examined you last week has said that you must strictly control your sugar now! All high-sugar foods must be controlled in quantity!"
"ah?"
Dr. Ali shrugged and returned to the kitchen dejectedly.
"Take out all the lemon pies and bring them to Mr. Mori when Edogawa returns!" Haibara Ai made another stab.
"Oh, I wouldn't have said anything if I had known earlier..."
"Really, I don't pay attention to my body at all..."
On the sofa, Hui Yuan Ai crossed his hands and exhaled.
"Pfft..." Conan, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Hui Yuan Ai suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him and asked.
"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly feel like a mother-in-law to you, Haibara..." Conan suppressed a smile and said all his inner thoughts like a straight man.
Of course, Hui Yuan Ai was not angry. She was just stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her hand to lift the hair beside her ear, and said with a smile:
"What? You brat, have you realized the charm of a mature woman?"
"Mature woman?"
When Conan heard this, he looked at Hui Yuan Ai from top to bottom. He didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly he couldn't help laughing.
"puff!"
How can I describe this feeling... It's like a child who insists on wearing adult clothes and has to look for comments from everyone.
"Edogawa!!"
Somewhat annoyed, Hui Yuan Ai grabbed the pillow on the side and threw it towards him.
"Wow! Don't do it! Yes, that's right! Let's get down to business! It's time to get down to business!"
"..."
When Dr. A Li came out of the kitchen with the packed lemon pie, Conan was holding a head full of feathers and was complaining to Haibara about what happened in the amusement park today.
"You mean, two sisters appeared?" Hearing this, Haiyuan Ai raised his hand to support his chin and frowned.
"Well, in addition to the Miyano Akemi who has appeared on TV before and who we speculate is most likely a member of the organization in disguise, I also met the second Miyano Akemi in the amusement park."
While picking off the feathers on his head, Conan explained:
"But I didn't come into contact with her. When I noticed her, she had already appeared in the surrounding crowd, and she seemed to be hiding from something and ran away very fast. I couldn't catch up with her in the end. "
As he spoke, Conan inserted a memory card into his mobile phone and read out the images he took with a miniature camera in the amusement park that morning.
The picture shows a crowd of onlookers. In a less conspicuous position, you can clearly see a beautiful woman who is raising her hand to put on a mask and about to turn around and leave.
She is the second Miyano Akemi Conan saw.
Although Conan failed to catch up with her at the time, the miniature camera in the button on his chest recorded the scene.
"She does look the same as her sister..." Looking at Miyano Akemi with a solemn expression on the screen, Haibara Ai nodded.
"There should be members of other organizations hiding at the scene, so I can understand her choice to escape. But what I don't understand is, since she also knows this, why would she risk appearing in the amusement park?" Conan Asked.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the second Miyano Akemi is more authentic. Even if she is fake, she should have nothing to do with the organization.
"Could it be to remind me? Sister, she was worried that I would fall into the organization's trap, so she appeared there on purpose..." Haibara Ai made a wishful guess.
The premise of this speculation is based on the fact that the second Miyano Akemi is the real Miyano Akemi.
And this is exactly what the two of them are not sure about now.
