This isn't a smokescreen.
The candies that landed burst into dazzling light, their brightness for a moment like a small sun rising.
A series of piercing screams followed.
This wasn't a scream Xia Ye made to comfort Xiao Lan; it was a genuine scream of unbearable pain.
Logically speaking, these members of the Black Organization, having undergone professional training, probably wouldn't scream like that if they were shot, but Dr. Agasa's specially made flashbang was completely unreasonable, directly causing them high levels of real blindness!
"Flashbang!"
Attracted by the bright light bursting from the rooftop entrance not far away, Xiao Lan let go of her hand, and Xia Ye quickly changed the subject:
"Five of them exploded at such close range!"
"I hope he's alright!"
"cut!"
Ran pouted, interrupted by the black-clad organization members, and lost all interest in dealing with Xia Ye. She glanced at the night sky where Conan had flown away and said sweetly:
"We should probably head back now."
"Yes~"
Yukiko continued:
"We've been chatting here so much that we almost forgot we have a scene to perform when we get back!"
"Let's go then!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and said:
"Xiaolan, hold me tight, let's go down!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Lan obediently hugged Xia Ye's waist tightly.
Xia Ye then held Yukiko in his arms and jumped off the rooftop. The barely perceptible spider silk continued to extend, and the hundred-meter height flashed by in an instant. Soon, the three of them landed on the ground in Dongdu.
...
the other side.
Conan soars through the night sky of Tokyo in a hang glider.
Although he looked back at the rooftop of the Big Black Building and saw that no one was chasing after him, he still carefully maneuvered the hang glider to land some distance from his villa.
Retract the hang glider under cover of darkness.
Conan jogged back to his front door, glanced at the still dark house, and decisively used his fingerprint to unlock the combination lock on the neighboring Dr. Agasa's house before sneaking inside.
Before going in.
He glanced at the room next door almost instinctively.
The villa next door was brightly lit, but the French windows were covered by curtains, so you couldn't see inside.
Xia Ye should be back by now, right?
By the way——
Could he have gone somewhere with Xiaolan to spend the night and enjoy some shameless time together?
wrong!
Conan shook his head.
Now is not the time to think about this.
He strode into Professor Agasa's villa, where Professor Agasa was already waiting in the front hall. Upon seeing him enter, Professor Agasa quickly handed him a glass of water and said with concern:
"Shinichi, how are you?"
"How's it going? Have you been discovered?"
"Don't worry, Doctor!"
Conan said with a confident look:
"This operation went very smoothly. Not only were we not discovered by the Black Organization, but I also made quite a few gains. By the way, Doctor, do you understand Chinese?"
"Chinese?"
Dr. Agasa was surprised.
Wasn't Shinichi supposed to be investigating the Black Organization that used poison to shrink him? Why is he suddenly bringing up Chinese?
"I don't know much Chinese!"
"but--"
"There are Chinese dictionaries online. Whatever character you want to know, I can look it up for you in the dictionary. What do you want to know?"
"These words!"
Conan took out his phone and showed it to the professor the picture he had taken of the "secret message" written by Natsume with alcohol on it, then said:
"Doctor, please help me decipher this. I need to know the information it contains as soon as possible; it's very important!"
703 "Is it important?"
The doctor examined the photo carefully, then frowned slightly and said:
"It's still the ancient script of the Chinese nation. Their ancient script has been passed down for thousands of years and there are many different kinds of ancient scripts. I don't even know which one this is. I need to check it first!"
"Then investigate immediately!"
Conan's tone was resolute, and he seemed somewhat impatient.
"Wait, Shinichi?"
Dr. Agasa asked in confusion:
"Didn't you go to investigate that organization? Why are you in such a hurry to have me crack the code of this Chinese script when you come back? What does this code have to do with that organization?"
"There's some connection, but it shouldn't be significant!"
Conan carefully chose his words and explained in detail to the professor the actions of the people who seemed to have been waiting for him at the bar, then said:
"I feel like they already know who I am!"
"So you know who I am?"
Dr. Agasa was startled and quickly said:
"Shinichi, this way you're not in danger. If they have genuine goodwill, that's fine, but if it's just pretense, then you're in big trouble!"
"Going from a high school student to an elementary school student might be a hassle for you, but for most of the world's wealthy and powerful, it's the key to rejuvenation and even immortality!"
"I know!"
Conan's expression also turned somewhat serious.
But soon he gritted his teeth.
“I could really sense that they meant me no harm, and even seemed to like me a little. My intuition told me that they wouldn’t hurt me!”
"intuition......"
Dr. Agasa subconsciously thought, "What if intuition is completely inaccurate? What if your intuition fails? It might be life-threatening!"
however--
Looking at Conan's determined expression.
Professor Agasa, who watched him grow up, decided to trust his judgment and temporarily assume that those mysterious figures came with good intentions!
"I'll go online now to look up the meanings of these ancient Chinese characters. Shinichi, did you find anything else this time?"
"Have!"
Conan said smugly:
“I got Tequila’s email address, and even the time and location of his next operation. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s more worthwhile to play the long game, we could contact the police right now and set up an ambush to capture him!”
"Is that so?"
Dr. Agasa smiled as well.
"That was a pretty good haul!"
"Of course!"
Conan became increasingly smug:
"Besides these, who else do I have!"
Suddenly, Professor Agasa's eyes widened in terror, and he opened his mouth wide but could not utter a sound.
Conan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
There's someone behind me!
Chapter 238 Xiao Lan's Battle Damage
There were no footsteps behind me.
However, Conan's face was deathly pale.
He had already seen the appearance of the person in front of him in the doctor's wide-open pupils, which were wide with fear.
It was an eerie young man whose eyes and hair were pitch black. He was walking towards them with leisurely steps, but his somewhat effeminate face and flamboyant smile sent chills down one's spine.
Conan wanted to shout it out loud.
Xia Ye's house is right next door.
Xiao Lan once said...
Xia Ye's skills are among the best in the world.
Conan believes this statement!
Because when he was still Shinichi, he witnessed Natsume sparring with Kyogoku Makoto, the national karate champion.
If Xiaolan is considered a normal top-tier expert.
Those two people have almost reached the pinnacle of humanity.
and so--
As long as Xia Ye is home, she can hear the noise and come over. This creepy-looking member of the black-clad organization should be caught!
but--
Just like Professor Agasa.
Conan couldn't make a sound either!
Worse still, it seemed as if all his strength had been drained away, making it difficult for him to even stand.
And the other side.
Professor Agasa's chubby body lay motionless on the ground. If it weren't for the fear and anger still on his face, Conan would have thought he had met with some misfortune!
It's poison!
Conan realized it too late.
However, it's not his fault.
This poison is silent and difficult to detect.
Even if he has a knowledge comparable to an encyclopedia.
I still can't figure out what kind of poison could make someone lose their voice and feel weak all over, without harming their body at all.
That's right!
Conan can sense it.
Although I have lost my strength and become mute, my body is not abnormal at all. I feel neither pain nor itching, and I don't feel like I'm going to die!
but--
