"Didn't Kidd save you? With that guy's disguise, it's not easy for people to see through..."
Conan took out the lighter from the drawer and continued: "And, do you know what the words on this card mean?"
ah?
Dr. A Li and Haiyuan Ai looked at each other.
[It’s dangerous to follow in my footsteps, little miss——Kid the Phantom Thief. 】
Isn't this the thief's style all along? Why, is there any other deeper meaning?
"Have you all heard of the story of Apollo, the sun god in ancient Greek mythology, who frantically pursued Daphne, the daughter of the river god?" Conan asked.
"Yes, there is," Haihara Ai said, "But I remember the origin of that story, and it's not a love story..."
"Yes, that was an internal conflict between the sons of Zeus," Conan said: "The sun god Apollo mocked Cupid's arrows as children's toys, and showed off his bow and arrows and sun carriage to him... Calling this That's what a real man should have. So Cupid used his arrow to ignite the flame in Apollo's heart, and at the same time extinguished the fire of Daphne's love. Although at the end of the story, Daphne, who turned into a tree, still fell in love with Daphne. Apollo embraced each other..."
While roasting the card with fire, he explained: "However, Kaitou Kidd said to himself that on the card, he replaced Daphne with the pursuing party. In other words, he wanted to The card made of trees is close to the meaning of flame, so it will reveal his true inner thoughts..."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Sure enough, a few more words appeared on the card after being burned by the flames:
[Little detective, you owe me a big favor. 】
Conan shrugged, "See...I knew..."
"Well... is it possible that Kaitou Kidd was just talking casually..." Haibara Ai was still a little worried, "Besides, I always feel that the timing of his saving me was too coincidental..."
"No, unless Kaitou Kidd is also a member of that organization, it is absolutely impossible for him to take such a big risk and lie. After all, he should have seen the madness of Gin and those people. If your identity is exposed, he will also Being implicated..."
Conan paused for a moment and continued his analysis: "I guess that Kaitou Kidd was eyeing which family's gems. As a result, when he was preparing the plan, he happened to bump into you hiding in the chimney and rescued you. Come down."
"Yes, Xiao Ai..." Dr. Ali also started to persuade: "Anyway, if you leave like this, you will encounter more dangers, right?"
"I just don't want to cause trouble to the people around me. Of course, assuming that my identity is not exposed, I don't care..." After listening to Conan's analysis, Haihara Ai's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and she Then he added: "But, are you too lax in your defense against that person?"
She looked at the two of them with half-moon eyes, "If I hadn't interrupted just now, would you have told the truth?"
"How can..." Conan's eyes flickered from side to side, and finally he scratched his head in embarrassment and admitted: "I can't help it. In the atmosphere at that time, I saw you and Brother Gengyi sitting on the sofa, and it was natural for me to You will think that he saved you..."
"Hmph...I don't have to say that guy is a bad person, but...you, the 'savior of the Japanese police', can you consider the situation between the two of us!"
A certain loli was obviously still brooding over her own social death, and said gloomily: "Once our identities are exposed, you...me, and everyone around us may end up like a bastard." The same fate as Sk, even more miserable... By then, not only Ye Gengyi but also Dr. Ali, not even your childhood sweetheart will be able to escape..."
"Okay, okay, I understand..." Conan apologized: "It's my fault this time. I will keep it a secret as much as possible."
When Hui Yuan Ai heard this, she rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't bother about the usage of the word 'as much as possible'.
Because she also knew in her heart that if she wanted to escape the pursuit of the organization, it would not be possible to be foolproof by being cautious. If she thought that way... she would simply underestimate the organization and the cadres with code names.
Moreover, this time he would encounter such a thrilling situation. To be honest, in addition to Edogawa's installation of monitors with great enthusiasm, his restless hair was also an unavoidable trouble.
In various senses, with her current brain power, it is possible that people are already bald before they reach middle age...
"I'm going to take a shower..."
Looking at Dr. A Li's shiny forehead, Haihara Ai felt that he seemed to have encountered another big crisis.
"Oh..." Dr. Ali scratched his head inexplicably, feeling as if he was being silently targeted...
The old man and the young man who stayed in the living room sat speechless to each other.
After being nervous, I suddenly felt a little hungry.
Please...are we finally done talking...
On the other side, the kitchen.
Ye Gengyi, who had already prepared the meal, was helpless, but what made him feel even more helpless were the two emails he had just received on his phone.
Tomorrow night, Sindora Group and Japanese game manufacturers will hold a game conference at the Mihua Municipal Building in Tokyo. It will be a virtual somatosensory game called 'Cocoon', and BOSS also sent an email asking him to find it. Opportunity to build a good relationship with Thomas Sindora, and if there is a chance, find a way to steal the Sindora Group's engineer list...
"Sure enough, you also received the invitation..."
Haibara Ai was taking a shower, and Conan didn't stay to eat. He found an excuse and returned to the detective agency.
At the dinner table, Dr. A Li looked very happy, "This is a very good game."
"Doctor, you should have participated in the design, right?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Haha..." Dr. A Li smiled and said modestly: "I just participated in the final testing and debugging phase..."
"It's already very powerful. After all, there is nothing we can do about it. If the core code of this type of game is not an insider of the Thomas Group, it is absolutely impossible for others to access it easily." When Ye Gengyi said this, he felt a little bit Curious: "I heard that the 'Ark' artificial AI they independently developed has also been put into use in the game 'Cocoon'. Has the doctor tested it?"
"That's not the case..." Dr. Ali said with shame: "Thomas Group just provided me with a game port to log into 'Cocoon', eh..."
When he said this, he was startled for a moment and said: "By the way, I seem to remember that your name was also on the list of participants at that time. Didn't you go?"
Could it be that...that woman from Belmode was targeted by the FBI before she even went to the banquet hall?
Ye Gengyi's expression did not change as he thought about it, and said: "I feel ashamed to say it... I lost my passport, document, and invitation letter at that time, and I also encountered an incident in Osaka at that time..."
"That's it..." Dr. A Li did not doubt that he was there, "Anyway, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's press conference..."
"Yeah, me too." Ye Geng said.
