Stay away from Conan

Chapter 481 The cake is wrong

"So, why did Ms. Shirley of the organization betray the organization and come to be with me, a person whose body also became smaller due to taking the drug you developed?"

The next day, in Mingzhi's house, Conan was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Since he knew Xiao Ai's true identity before she became a child last night, he couldn't help but come over and question her.

In response to this, Xiao Ai had a calm expression, sitting on the sofa, reading the latest issue of fashion magazine in her hand, and replied calmly:

"Didn't I tell you - because my sister was killed by someone from the organization."

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise:

"Is this true?"

"That's right, Detective."

Xiao Ai said calmly:

"On the first day here, when I confessed to you, I didn't tell a lie - whether it was that I took the medicine and became smaller, or that my sister was killed by the organization... or that Gao Yuan is the only one I can do now. Those who trust... these words are all true."

"But you didn't tell me at the time that you were the one who developed that drug!"

Conan looked at Xiao Ai seriously and said with some excitement:

"You did not lie at that time, but you chose to tell me the truth instead of telling me the most important thing - that you are a member of that organization!"

"Didn't I say that?"

Faced with Conan's inquiry, Xiao Ai's mood did not change much and continued:

"The only person I could trust at the time was Gao Yuan. Other than that, I had no reason to reveal my feelings to anyone else. Moreover, that day, in the case of the Maple Leaf Gold Coin, because of your carelessness, you almost let those children fall into trouble with you. It's dangerous, so I'm also worried about whether you can really face the group of people in the organization... After all, they are much scarier than those bandits. "

Hearing this, Conan had no better reason to question the other party for a while, and said with a helpless expression:

"Forget it, now that things have come to this point, it doesn't make much sense for me to continue asking these questions. Since Mr. Mingzhi believes in you, you can continue to stay here and be a primary school student...but..."

As he spoke, Conan's expression became serious and he began to change the topic:

"Since you are the inventor of that medicine, the antidote should be made right away!"

Very much looking forward to it, Conan said.

"All the information about drugs is in the research room. It's such a huge amount of information. How can I remember it if I escaped with nothing?"

Xiao Ai said calmly.

"Then go to the research room and find a way to get the information out!"

Conan said excitedly.

"It's useless. The organization burned down the entire pharmaceutical company, including the research laboratory, after I escaped. There was nothing left at all. Even if the information was transferred by them, I wouldn't It may be possible to know where the data was transferred."

Xiao Ai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Conan's originally expectant expression immediately turned into disappointment.

"But you're lucky."

Seeing the change in Conan's expression, Xiao Ai couldn't help but say something reversal at this moment as if teasing, which rekindled Conan's hope——

"By accident, I discovered that 'Baigan Liquor' can temporarily change your body, plus the cake last night... Your idea yesterday was right, if you can get that cake The formula may actually be researched backwards to come up with an antidote.”

"So, since you know, why didn't you look harder last night?"

Hearing this, Conan held his head in frustration and said with some thumping on his chest.

"You still have the nerve to talk to me."

Xiao Ai couldn't help but get angry and said:

"Since you want to change back so much, why don't you go find it yourself? When you encounter a case like this, you will forget that you can't appear in front of others, Kudo Shinichi, but it will cause a lot of trouble! If it weren't for Gao Yuan last night I’ve tried my best, but do you know how dangerous it is?”

"But it was obviously because of your exposure yesterday that people from the organization were attracted..."

Facing Xiao Ai's reproach, Conan turned his head and muttered softly.

"In short, even if I develop an antidote, you cannot appear in the public eye as Kudo Shinichi at will. After all, Kudo Shinichi is already dead on the organization's list!"

Xiao Ai warned again and again.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hearing Xiao Ai mention that he would "research the antidote", Conan immediately nodded in response, but still couldn't help but ask:

"But since you haven't got the recipe for the cake, how are you going to research the antidote?"

"Have you forgotten? Miss Hualien's mother said that because of the signed agreement, the cake recipe will be sold in the pastry shop in Yamate under the name of Hualien in the near future. Gao Yuan has already gone to investigate the specific address of that pastry shop. , I think it won’t be long before you can buy that kind of cake directly in the store.”

Xiao Ai couldn't help but say...

…

A few days later, because the winning candidate of the "Japanese Miss Contest", Miss Shou Hualien, was accidentally killed, a pastry shop in Yamate that had signed an agreement with Shou Hualien sold a product called "Ms. Hualien's cake.

After learning the news, Conan hurriedly packed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom after school that day——

"Is there something urgent about Conan? Why did he run away like that?"

Ayumi Yoshida, who hadn't finished packing her schoolbag yet, asked in confusion when she saw Conan's leaving figure.

"Are there any games for sale today?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya couldn't help but guess.

"Is it possible that a very delicious eel restaurant has just opened somewhere?"

Kojima Mota said curiously, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the performance of these three children, Xiao Ai, who was still slowly packing his schoolbag, couldn't help but smile warmly——

"Haihara-san, do you know something?"

Ayumi curiously asked Xiao Ai:

"Conan is so anxious. Did something happen?"

"Could it be that a big case happened?"

Mitsuhiko suddenly said in surprise, feeling like he had guessed the answer.

"Ah! Really! So Conan wants to get rid of us and solve the case alone! We must not let him do this! We are a young detective team!"

Genta cheered loudly.

"Hmph..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but cover her mouth and replied with a faint smile:

"None of that. It's just because a cake shop has a new cake, and Edogawa-san really wants to eat that cake as soon as possible."

"What! Conan is too deceitful! How can he leave us to eat the cake alone!"

When Genta heard the word "cake", he immediately became interested, so he grabbed Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, quickly packed his schoolbag, and chased Conan in the direction he left.

When Xiao Ai saw this, she packed her schoolbag and followed him out.

Not long after, the four people on the tram arrived at the Western pastry shop. At this time, the scene that appeared in front of them made them all dumbfounded——

"No! You must have made this cake wrong!"

In the pastry shop, Conan held the unfinished cake in his hand and said in an unreasonable manner:

"Miss Hualian's cake recipe definitely doesn't taste like this!"

As he said this, the manager and clerk of the cake shop on the side, as well as the customers who came to watch, only looked at Conan who was making trouble unreasonably in the store, rolling on the ground as if in protest...
