"Well……"
Slowly opening her eyes, Haiyuan Ai's mind was still filled with lingering dizziness, and the residual pain in various parts of her body continued to stimulate her nerves. She raised her head and looked around her.
This is a very ordinary room with normal furniture and nothing special.
Judging from the blue sky and white clouds outside the front window, this room was at least on the second floor, or it was located in a higher position, because she could not see other houses or street views outside the window.
【Where...is this? 】
With a dull pain in the back of his head, Huihara Ai gradually recalled what happened before he fell into coma.
The murder case in the guest house, the mysterious detective, the group photo, the sudden explosion, and... the last black figure she saw!
She remembered that she was kidnapped by a black figure before she fell into coma!
Suddenly, Hui Yuan Ai looked down at her body. Her mask was put back on her face. The windbreaker on her body was very dirty and there were many damages on it. It should have been caused by the previous explosion. Fortunately, the clothes There didn't seem to be any signs of being disturbed inside.
"Click!"
Kneeling on the ground, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face. It was then that the sudden pain on her wrist made her realize that her hands were being handcuffed and tied behind her back to the foot of the big bed. superior.
A very crude method of cuffing someone, but it worked for her.
If you are a normal adult, you can lift the foot of the bed and break free.
But unfortunately, it was impossible for her elementary school student's body to do this.
And the little noise she made also attracted the attention of another person in the room.
"woke up?"
In front of the backlit desk in the corner of the room, a figure sitting on a swivel chair turned around and asked.
Due to the obstruction of the seat back and the light, Haihara Ai didn't even notice that there was a person sitting there just now.
"It's you……"
After seeing the figure clearly on the seat, Hui Yuan Ai's expression gradually became serious.
The figure on the seat is a woman, wearing a decent black dress, with slightly curly short black hair, dignified facial features, and she is a beautiful beauty at first glance.
At this time, she had an intellectual smile on her face, and she was looking at Haiyuan Ai with a smile.
She knew this man.
Member of the Miwa City Council, host of the Edo Street Festival, and the one who sent the invitation letter to Mouri Kogoro... Igarashi Kiyoko.
"Who are you?" Looking at Kiyoko Igarashi sitting on the swivel chair with her legs folded, Haibara Ai asked immediately.
Black dress... It seemed that the black figure that took her away after the explosion was probably her.
"Who am I? That's not a very good question, little one."
Instead of answering her, Igarashi Kiyoko just smiled and shook her head. At this moment, Haibara Ai noticed that she was playing with a small yellow prop in her right hand.
That is the detective badge issued by Dr. Agasa to the Junior Detective Team.
[Has she already searched my body? 】
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly felt nervous.
"Rather than caring about my identity, I think what you should care more about...is what I am going to do." Seeing her expression clearly, Igarashi Kiyoko said meaningfully.
"This kind of thing, as long as you know your identity, you will be able to understand it clearly." Hui Yuan Ai quickly calmed down his expression and replied in a deep voice.
"No."
However, Igarashi Kiyoko shook her head and denied her words.
“Although in many cases, a person’s behavior can be deduced from his own standpoint, there are also many times when a person will behave completely inconsistent with his own standpoint.
Therefore, it is not a correct behavior to deduce a person's actions only from his position, especially in that organization..."
"You are indeed from the organization!" Hui Yuan Ai looked at her and said coldly.
"Yes, I am from the organization."
Igarashi Kiyoko nodded briskly and admitted without any hesitation.
"After all, among all the insiders, who else besides the organization would be willing to pay so much attention to a little guy like you?"
"Am I right? Shirley?"
Igarashi Kiyoko directly called out Haihara Ai’s code name in the organization.
This made her feel more and more uneasy while gradually confirming the identity of the other party.
The violent explosion in the guest house was completely beyond their expectations, and after the explosion, she was immediately taken away by Igarashi Kiyoko who had been lurking beside her.
Judging from Igarashi Kiyoko's relaxed look, I am afraid that Mr. Akai and the others did not carry out any rescue operations for her during the period from her coma to her awakening.
Of course, this does not mean that Mr. Akai and the others have given up on her. It should be that this series of emergencies have completely broken their original arrangement, so that they may not even know where she is now, let alone rescue her. Already...
And this also means that she is now alone in danger, and no one can help her.
Of course, this does not mean that she will be at ease.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.
"Shirley, you should know this kind of thing better than us, right? Is it possible that you have forgotten all about it after only being out for a few months?"
Igarashi Kiyoko asked back, with that meaningful smile still on her face, which made Haibara Ai feel very unsure.
She originally wanted to take this opportunity to test the purpose of the organization, but she didn't expect to be turned over by the other party.
This question immediately silenced her.
"Tell me, who are those people with you?" Instead of following her silence, Igarashi Kiyoko asked.
"It's an enemy of the organization." Haiyuan Ai's tone was calm, and she tried her best to contain any emotional fluctuations she had.
"Well, this is indeed a correct answer, but I really didn't expect that you would have the courage to say such a thing..."
Amused by her answer, Igarashi Kiyoko stood up, walked straight to her and squatted down, reached out and pinched her cheek, forced her face up, and looked at her carefully through the mask on her face. Then he laughed and said:
"It's really a perfect face."
She used the word "perfect", which made Haihara Ai a little confused.
"To be honest, I actually hate those routines of testing each other back and forth."
Letting go of her face, Igarashi Kiyoko stood up and sat back on the seat.
"Well, why don't we take advantage of this rare free time to play a little game. If you can answer the questions I asked, as a reward, I can tell you something you want to know."
"What do you want to ask me?" Even though it was clear that the other party had no good intentions, Hui Yuan Ai still couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple."
Seeing her agreeing so easily, the smile on Igarashi Kiyoko's face became even happier.
She bent forward, deliberately lowered her voice, and whispered:
"I need you to tell me... who am I?"
"ha?"
