"Ding dong~"
Just as Mary hurriedly called and asked Dr. Ali to take Haibara Ai away, his doorbell was rang at this time.
"Ding dong~"
For a moment, the room suddenly became quiet.
As if he had been violently frightened, Hui Yuan Ai turned around and looked in the direction of the door, his pupils shrank suddenly and his face turned pale.
The inexplicable chill still enveloped her whole body, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
She clearly felt that the person outside the door at this moment was the source of this chill.
[How could it be...why...Didn't Edogawa just say...]
"Xiao, Xiao Ai?" Dr. A Li, who noticed the strangeness of Haihara Ai for the first time, and who had not fully understood the situation, looked at her worriedly.
"PhD."
The call was not hung up. Mary also heard the doorbell here. With the last chance, she asked:
"...Who is outside the door?"
Under her calm words, there was a rare nervousness hidden.
In fact, before making this call to Dr. Agasa, Mary first contacted the security personnel she had arranged to protect Ai Haibara at Dr. Agasa's house.
But without exception, these people have lost contact.
Bai Heqing's actions were faster than she imagined, so she hurriedly contacted Dr. A Li again, hoping to...
"Ding dong~"
The doorbell rang again, and at this time even Dr. Ali finally noticed the abnormality.
He didn't have many friends who would come to visit him, and now his house was surrounded by Mary's people who were protecting him. Under this situation, even if any strangers approached, they would definitely be blocked by those people.
So, who could be ringing the doorbell outside?
"What's wrong? Why don't you open the door?"
While Haibara Ai and Dr. Ari stood there blankly, Kudo Yukiko from the kitchen came out and asked doubtfully:
"I obviously heard the doorbell ringing several times, right? Is it Dr. A Li, your friend?"
"Wait! Yukiko..."
"Who is it?"
As she said this, she walked towards the door and said in a smiling voice:
"Is something wrong?"
"I'm sorry to bother you."
A smiling voice also sounded outside the door. It was a male and he sounded very young.
The moment she heard this voice, Haiyuan Ai suddenly stood up from the sofa, with disbelief written all over her face, and the laptop that was originally placed on her lap fell to the ground.
She knew this voice. From the time she was seven years old to the ten years before she returned to Japan, the owner of this voice had been by her side and accompanied her as she grew up.
This voice was so familiar to her that she would never mistake it.
The person outside the door...
"I'm here to take my child home." The man outside said in a gentle tone.
It’s Regel! !
"Oh~ Sir, are you looking in the wrong place? We don't have other children at home..." Kudo Yukiko replied with a smile.
As soon as she said this, she seemed to realize something, suddenly stopped, froze on the spot, and looked back at Hui Yuan Ai, who had already turned pale.
"Xiao Ai, could it be..."
"You're right, it's right here."
The man replied with the same smile. As his words fell, the door handle of the door that was supposed to be closed suddenly turned twice, and then was slowly pushed open.
Outside the door, there was a woman in a trench coat. Before Kudo Yukiko could realize what the male voice was talking to her about, the woman in the trench coat suddenly stepped forward and accurately hit her on the back of the neck with a knife. Put her down instantly.
"I heard your voice through the door. Fortunately, I didn't take off my disguise on the way here. Otherwise, if you saw me, I might have caused a lot of trouble again..."
Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who still maintained the same disguise as when he left Edo Street, complained while supporting the unconscious Kudo Yukiko and putting her on the ground. Then he stood up again and looked at Gray who was still standing there stupidly behind the sofa. Yuan Ai and Dr. A Li.
"Long time no see, A Li."
Placing a small black box on the floor of the room, Bai Heqing did not look at Haibara Ai. He glanced at the nervous Dr. Ali. At the same time, he walked to the sink next to the living room and turned on the faucet to wash his hands.
Only then did the two of them notice that Bai Heqing's hands and clothes were stained with a lot of blood that had not completely solidified.
"Don't take it too seriously. These were all accidentally acquired while dealing with those people outside."
As if aware of the two people's gazes, Bai Heqing turned his back to them, while washing his hands, he explained:
"In order to avoid alerting others as much as possible, I couldn't use a gun, so I could only use weapons like daggers. But fortunately, the process went quite smoothly. I just accidentally splashed some blood, which was really uncomfortable..."
"Who are you?" Dr. Ali quickly pulled Haiyuan Ai behind him, and Dr. Ali looked at Bai Heqing extremely nervously.
Bai Heqing's face was full of blood but his face was smiling, which shocked the elderly man.
He originally wanted to ask Mary on the other end of the phone for help, but found that the cell phone in his hand had lost signal since he didn't know when.
【Could it be...】
He looked at the small black box that Shirakawa Qing had placed on the ground before. As an inventor, he understood instantly.
There should be some kind of special strong jammer in that box, which can even interfere with satellite phone communications.
"I just said it."
After drying his hands on the towel, Bai Heqing turned around and looked at Haibara Ai, who was pulled behind him by Dr. Ali, and repeated it again with a smile.
"I'm here to take our children home. After being away from home for so long, even the naughtiest child should go home..."
However, Haihara Ai did not respond to his words. She just stood behind Dr. A Li, biting her lip and staring at him.
"A-are you Regel?"
Pulling Haihara Ai towards the door, Dr. Ali asked tentatively.
He was also present when Mary and the others discussed their action plan, so he naturally knew that there was a person in that organization codenamed Regel who had been looking for Haibara Ai.
"You know quite a lot, but I suddenly want to kill you."
Bai Heqing walked towards the two of them and said something scary while smiling.
"no!"
Hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai broke away from Dr. A Li's hand, rushed forward and opened her hand to block him.
"Xiao Ai!"
"Okay, okay, no."
Bai Heqing smiled and nodded, his tone was like coaxing a child.
He walked straight in front of Hui Yuan Ai, then squatted down, his eyes level with hers.
"But the condition is that you come back with me."
