"Xiaoying, I need you to go to Japan."
In the ward, after silence, Bai Herui spoke to Bai Heying beside him.
"Brother, what do you need me to do?" Bai Heying asked directly.
Bai Herui did not answer immediately, but withdrew his gaze. After another silence, he slowly explained:
"In the near future, the FBI is likely to plan an operation against the organization, and Akai Marie is also very likely to appear on the list of operators this time.
Although I have never met her in person, according to the information I have received, this person should be an excellent agent with extremely outstanding abilities. Coupled with her familiarity with her father, I am worried that their operation will be very serious. What danger might it cause to my parents and Sister Jing..."
"Danger……"
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much."
Looking at Bai Heying's face that instantly became solemn, Bai Herui smiled slightly and then said:
"I have laid a trap for their operation before. If nothing happens, I believe that my father and the others will be able to avert the danger.
However, nothing is absolute. Akai Mari is always an extremely dangerous person to us. We don’t know how far she has investigated so far and how much information she has mastered...
But in short, our plan must start as soon as possible no matter what, but this cannot be done by just the two of us. It would be best if we can involve you, Sister Jing..."
"Wait! Plan? What plan?"
Bai Heying quickly called out to Bai Herui. Why didn't she know what other plans they had?
"I will tell you after you find your sister Jing."
However, Bai Herui smiled mysteriously and deliberately let it slip.
"Tsk!" Bai Heying curled her lips, feeling very unhappy, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Her brother had been doing everything right since he was a child. Since Bai Herui said he had a plan, he must have thought of a fairly complete and feasible plan.
"In short, Xiaoying, after your trip to Japan, you must find your sister Jing as soon as possible."
"Even though I say that, I actually don't know where Sister Jing is at all..."
Saying that, Bai Heying sighed helplessly.
Bai Hejing obviously didn't use her original identity in Japan. For her sister who was backed by an organization and had the art of disguise, it was not easy to change her identity.
Just looking for it without any clues, what's the difference between that and looking for a needle in a haystack?
"Well, that's true..."
Bai Herui also nodded. Although he also thought about asking Bai Heying to call and ask directly, this was not very reliable.
Although Bai Hejing had shown some willingness to assist Bai Heying in the investigation, she had been with her father for ten years. Before direct contact, Bai Herui was not sure about his twin sister's true thoughts. .
What if this call comes and Bai Hejing notices his inner plan and runs to tell Bai Heqing instead, then he will really "die before leaving the battlefield"...
At present, Bai Heqing cannot know what he plans to do.
You can't go wrong with being cautious.
"By the way, Xiaoying."
Suddenly thinking of a person, Bai Herui asked: "When you were in Japan before, have you ever seen that boy from the Kudo family?"
"Kudo Shinichi?"
Knowing who he was referring to, Bai Heying suddenly showed a strange look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Bai Herui asked, looking at her strange expression.
Thinking of the abnormal reactions shown by Akai Shuichi and Kudo Yukiko this morning regarding matters related to Kudo Shinichi, Shirakawa Rui suddenly became very curious.
Nothing really happened to this kid, right?
"Brother, you might not believe it..."
Bai Heying said this and leaned her head over again, with a mysterious look on her face.
"Don't worry, as long as it's not too outrageous, your brother and I will believe it."
Bai Herui also moved his head over, also lowered his voice, and asked seriously:
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"I found that Kudo Shinichi...may have become smaller."
The two of them were acting like thieves, Bai Heying whispered in Bai Herui's ear.
"hiss……"
Bai Herui leaned back, took a breath of air, then leaned his head over again, and asked seriously:
"Xiaoying, you mean... Kudo Shinichi actually has dwarfism?"
"No! Brother, where are you thinking? That's literally it! Kudo Shinichi has become smaller!"
Seeing that Bai Herui misunderstood, Bai Heying hurriedly explained:
"Let me tell you, I went to Japan this time to work as an assistant for a well-known Maori detective there. In the home of this Maori detective, besides me, there was another child living there. , called Edogawa Conan..."
"What is his relationship with Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle?"
"I don't know about this...and that's not the point! The point is that this child is very smart, very smart, a kind of intelligence that is completely different from other children of his age!
Not only that, he also looks exactly like Kudo Shin when he was a child! "
"You said... he looked exactly the same as Kudo Shin when he was a child?"
Finally, Bai Herui's expression became serious again.
Earlier today, when Akai Shuichi saw the photo of Kudo Shinichi when he was young on his mobile phone, the look of confusion and surprise on his face reappeared in his mind.
"This Edogawa Conan, who are his parents?" Shirakawa asked.
"I don't know, but I heard Detective Maori mention it before. They are a very wealthy couple working in the United States. It is said that this couple entrusted him to Detective Maori because of work reasons, and also gave him A large amount of child support..."
"A wealthy couple working in the US empire..."
Bai Herui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Akai Shuichi's abnormal reaction, Kudo Yukiko's deliberate obstruction, and a child who looked exactly like Kudo Shinichi when he was young...
"If I remember correctly, Kudo Shinichi should be in high school at the same age as Xiaoying. Did you really not see him when you went to Japan before?"
Bai Herui confirmed again.
An idea suddenly popped into his mind that he found incredible.
"Really not~" Bai Heying replied again: "Ah, but I heard it from one of his childhood sweethearts in Japan, the daughter of the Maori detective.
He seemed to have taken a long leave from school some time before I went to Japan, and it was said that he was going to handle a special case..."
"Special case?"
After hearing this, Bai Herui began to close his eyes and meditate.
"What is the ability of this Maori detective you are talking about?"
"If you have the ability...I heard that I was just a third-rate detective before, but in the recent period, I have solved many cases in a row, so my reputation has greatly increased.
And because he likes to look like he is sleeping when reasoning, he is also known as the 'Sleeping Kogoro'. "
"Sleeping Kogoro..."
The ideas in his mind became clearer, and Bai Herui continued to ask:
"When he was solving the case, was the kid named Conan also there?"
"Yes... indeed." Bai Heying nodded.
"As expected..."
Opening his eyes, Bai Herui had sorted out all the clues and murmured in a low voice.
"Returning to youth...is this kind of thing really possible?"
[Shirley...and the organization...I see...]
"Brother, you also think he has become smaller, right?" Bai Heying asked quickly when she saw this.
Seeing his sister's eagerness to confirm with him, the corners of Bai Herui's mouth raised slightly.
"More than that, I think... I may also know part of the reason why he has become smaller..."
But immediately, he showed a solemn expression again.
[If this is really the case, then my father, could it be...]
