"...What a coincidence, the blood types are the same."
ST was sitting on Yu Lu's original desk, looking at the two reports with a faint smile on his lips.
"Check that person... forget it, I hope you can't find anything. Let's do another DNA match and give the results to the other party later."
"Yes, boss."
The bald man exited the door and closed the door gently.
Inside the room, the man threw the two reports on the table, squinting and touching his chin, wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, he drew a circle on one of the reports.
"So, how do you choose?"
Gas chamber...let's call this room that, after all, it was indeed the organization's gas chamber before.
Haiyuan Ai was sitting near the door. There were no tables or chairs in the room, or even any furniture except for the lamp above their head. They were just sitting on the cold cement floor.
It has been almost 24 hours since they were kidnapped. In the meantime, they have escaped and been caught again. Everyone is already exhausted.
So even if the ground is cold, most people choose to sit on the ground.
There were three groups in the house, and the largest group was naturally the Young Detective Team plus Suzuki Sonoko. They were sitting around the door. Except for Haibara Ai, almost everyone had a worried look on their face.
The second group was led by Akira Sugitani, accompanied by Shoko Amamiya and the good boy Chizu Heping. They were sitting against the wall, relatively close to the Young Detective Group.
The rest were sisters Higashikawa Ryuichi and Ando. The three of them stood in the corner. Higashikawa Ryuichi was not tired and kept standing vigilantly.
"Haihara-san, what should we do?"
If we want to say who is the calmest among the three children in the Boy Detective Team, the answer is naturally Mitsuhiko. He has a knowledge reserve that exceeds his age and a strong reasoning ability. He is simply a weakened version of the boy Shinichi.
As for why it is a weakened version, Conan has said before that it may be because Mitsuhiko has not been influenced by this aspect since childhood like him.
Even so, his abilities are sufficient in some situations.
Haibara Ai did not answer Mitsuhiko's question, but slowly let go of Ayumi's hand and walked towards Sugitani step by step.
She came to Akira Sugitani, who stood up from the ground and stood at the front.
"We need to join forces." Hui Yuan Ai said.
"Of course." Sugitani Akira affirmed, "If we don't trust each other, then we really can only wait here to die."
His words were slightly louder to ensure that Dongchuan Ryuichi over there could hear him.
After confirming his thoughts, Hui Yuan Ai nodded and returned to his position at the door.
"Haihara-san..."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Suzuki Sonoko completed Mitsuhiko's unfinished thoughts. Although Haihara Ai usually has a relatively cold temperament, what she showed just now is still somewhat different from the past.
Although Suzuki Sonoko was carefree, she was not completely ignorant of the world. She could obviously detect the abnormal atmosphere in the room since she came back and the child's too calm expression.
Hui Yuan Ai's eyes deepened and he did not answer her directly, but said softly:
"Eleven people, the goal is too big."
"...If only one person can escape in the end, no one will choose others."
ST got the DNA comparison results. Unexpectedly, the DNA similarities between the two blood samples were extremely low, which was not what he thought.
No, it is too early to draw this conclusion.
ST pressed the intercom button and said: "Let's inform the buyer of the results and start the next step of matching."
Although he was curious about Haiyuan Ai, it did not affect him from continuing to do business. What if the other party just wanted to buy a kidney, they could still be friends after a cut.
"Any news on the others?"
A voice came from the intercom: "No...Boss, there are fewer people contacting us than expected, and there are no receptors with high matching."
"Is it less than expected..." ST thought for a moment, "I understand, you continue, be careful to stay hidden."
He hung up the intercom and pulled out a photo from the desktop that he didn't know when he took.
"The Suzuki Consortium... is really troublesome. Why did they arrest her?"
The photo was clearly a campus photo of Suzuki Sonoko. ST looked at it for a long time before reluctantly leaving the room with the photo.
He walked into the upward passage that Haiyuan Ai had discovered. At the end of the stairs was a wall that he couldn't open after studying for a long time. When they discovered this place, they realized that it was a secret passage and dug a hole from the outside to penetrate it, but they could not find the correct switch.
When st emerged from the hole, he was still thinking that it was strange. It was not like he had not pressed the alarm in the room, but nothing happened. Why could the door be used after Haiyuan Ai pressed it.
The sky outside had begun to get dark, so ST walked slowly to a farther place, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
For some reason, all signal sources underground were blocked, so only a box of walkie-talkies found in the basement could be used there.
The more this happens, the more ST feels that there is a secret hidden there, and Haihara Ai is the key that can unlock the secret.
When the call was connected, the other party seemed to say something, and ST's face turned visibly pale.
"...I know, I know, it won't affect your great cause!" He said the second part through gritted teeth.
He hung up the phone harshly and glanced at the photo in his hand. He was so angry that he tore the photo into pieces with all his strength, but he held it in his hand and put it into his pocket.
Before he could curse any more, a report from his subordinates came over the intercom.
"...Boss...they...escaped...and were..."
ST held up the walkie-talkie and ran quickly towards the base. The walkie-talkie was unstable and he could only hear one or two syllables in a sentence.
It's really crazy.
After getting back through the hole, ST asked what the other party said, but his subordinates came in through the unclosed door and reported directly face to face:
"Those kids wanted to run away again, but this time they were reported by their own people."
"Oh?" st had a playful smile on his face.
The escape plan was proposed by Akira Sugitani. He said that there should be a way out in the opposite direction they just walked.
"As soon as I went out, I felt a weak wind blowing from that direction. If the passage that Haihara-san was looking for had not been discovered by this group of people before, they must have found their own way."
Amamiya Shoko added: "I went into the secret passage, and there were traces of excavation inside. They must have discovered this passage and penetrated it from the outside, but they never found the correct switch."
"It stands to reason that the alarm could not have been pressed. Why didn't they open the door?"
Dongchuan Ryuichi joined the group chat, but he was wary of Haibara Ai from beginning to end, or in other words, he was wary of everyone except him.
Haibara Ai ignored him, and Sugitani Akira consciously changed the topic:
"Let's try another route. First we need to deal with the two people at the door."
