The pitch-black muzzle pressed against Conan's temple; the cold metallic texture told him it was very likely a real gun.
"Long time no see, Edogawa... no, Shinichi Kudo."
Conan's mind buzzed, instantly dumbfounded.
"Surprised? Shinichi Kudo, I bet you didn't expect to end up as a kid. You were hard to find," Fumiyo Edogawa continued.
[They know, that organization knows.]
Conan broke out in a cold sweat.
"What do you plan to do with me?"
Forcing himself to calm down, he wanted to get information out of this woman as much as possible.
"Shinichi Kudo must disappear from this world. The matter of you becoming Conan Edogawa cannot be known by too many people either; those people must die."
The cold voice carried no emotion.
[They want to kill Ran and Uncle?]
Conan's face changed and sweat beaded on his forehead.
At this time, Fumiyo Edogawa's phone rang.
"Hello, it's me. Mm, already caught him... That's right, Kogoro Mouri and his daughter are both at home... They haven't discovered his identity..."
[No, I must leave, must notify Dr. Agasa and Ran and the others.]
Conan forced himself to calm down.
Up ahead, the light turned red.
Conan suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt abruptly and stomped on the accelerator.
The Mazda shot forward and tires screeched.
Fumiyo Edogawa was startled and quickly stepped on the brake.
Conan opened the car door abruptly and ran away.
"Oh my, someone help me stop that child, his nerves are a bit abnormal."
Behind him, Fumiyo Edogawa's exasperated voice rang out.
Conan kept running, turning everywhere in the alleys.
At this time, it started snowing.
[Damn it, why snow at this time.]
Wearing few clothes, Conan was freezing and couldn't walk much, but he was already not far from the Mouri Detective Agency.
By the roadside, a man in black wearing sunglasses was saying something to Kogoro Mouri.
[Man in black?]
Conan's face changed drastically: That kind of aura, that's right, it's the Black Organization.
He ducked into a corner, heart pounding, but knew he couldn't show himself.
"Dad, time to eat."
From the second floor, Ran's shout rang out.
After Kogoro Mouri answered, he kept acting overly polite to the man in black.
Soon, the man in black got into the car and left.
Conan hid in the corner, nerves on edge. He only relaxed after the car finally roared away.
"It seems Ran and Uncle won't be in any danger for the time being."
If the Black Organization wanted to kill them, they would have done it already. That's just how they work.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I have to see Dr. Agasa and Mi Haibara," he thought.
The small figure ran towards Dr. Agasa's house.
In a certain corner, a man in black wearing sunglasses revealed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "Hello, it's me. The fish took the bait."
"Received."
A cheerful and crisp voice rang from the phone.
Huff huff~
Once it snowed, the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply. Although he wore a bit of clothes, plus running, it wasn't too cold.
How much stamina could this child's body have?
Running from the Mouri Detective Agency to near Dr. Agasa's house had already consumed almost all his stamina.
There was no car at Dr. Agasa's door.
[Luckily, looks like I made it in time.]
Conan's face lit up, preparing to come out from the corner.
A heavyset woman walked out of Dr. Agasa's house, with Mi Haibara and Dr. Agasa following behind.
What's wrong with Mi Haibara? Why is she being so quiet? Run, Mi!
Conan was extremely anxious hiding in the dark.
"You'd better not think about running away, otherwise this old man's head will blossom."
As Dr. Agasa walked out the door, a man in black actually followed behind, a gun pressed against the back of his head.
Conan broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Mi Haibara didn't run—they were threatening her with Dr. Agasa.
"What are you still standing for, bring the car over."
That man in black said coldly to Fumiyo Edogawa.
As Fumiyo Edogawa left, Conan stared at the man in black with sunglasses, a chill running down his spine. He must be the boss.
That man in black looked sharply in this direction, the lens of his sunglasses reflecting a cold light.
"Go over there."
The cold voice carried an unquestionable tone.
Dr. Agasa and Mi Haibara had no choice but to walk over.
"Car's here."
Fumiyo Edogawa's voice came from the opposite direction, followed by a car horn.
Meow~~
Suddenly, a black cat ran out from the alley.
"Turns out it was a cat."
That man in black muttered to himself, then signaled Dr. Agasa and Ai to get in the car.
Conan pressed against the wall, cold sweat covering him. That was close—he'd almost been discovered.
After quite a while, Conan dared to walk out from the alley.
Looking left and right, he walked in small steps to Dr. Agasa's door. After confirming there was no one inside, he ran in quickly.
Mi Haibara will definitely leave clues for me.
Conan walked into Dr. Agasa's house. The men in black must have come here suddenly, so Mi Haibara didn't have much time to prepare.
Lowering his head in thought for a moment, he began checking around on the ground.
Soon, a button on the ground attracted his attention.
"This is the tracker invented by Dr. Agasa?"
Suddenly, it hit him: Mi Haibara wouldn't drop this by accident. She's telling me—there's a tracker on her, or on one of the men in black.
"Very good, I'll turn on the tracking antenna on my glasses immediately."
Pressing a button, a virtual map instantly appeared on a lens, a red dot flashing.
"Found it, right there."
Conan looked happy.
Inside a room in the Beika Grand Hotel, there were only three people.
Mi Haibara sat on the bed, quietly reading a book, looking bored.
"Oh my, why hasn't Shinichi found his way here yet."
Yukiko, already disguised as Fumiyo Edogawa, stood at the side, very impatient.
"Yukiko, can't you be quiet for a bit?"
Heiji was very helpless.
"How can I be quiet? Finally found such a fun game, I really want to see Shinichi's surprised look."
Yukiko was very unhappy at the side.
"He's already here."
Looking from upstairs, a small figure ran into the hotel from outside.
"Here? Haha, so looking forward to it." Yukiko was extremely excited.
"Ai, did you tell the waiter?"
Mi Haibara was still reading.
The hotel lobby.
"Welcome. Eh, little friend, you came alone?"
"I came to find someone."
"Find someone? Little friend, are you Conan Edogawa?" A waiter not far away asked.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, a little girl asked me to tell you, she is in the underground parking lot."
[Parking lot?]
Conan immediately ran towards the parking lot.
