Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1809 Cooperating with experiments

"Let's start again."

Faced with James' inquiry, Akai Shuichi replied like this.

In response, James couldn't help but nodded slightly and said as if he had a premonition:

"Well, it's really simple to get up from where you fell... So, what are you going to do? You successfully grabbed that person's right-hand arm, but as for that person..."

"No……"

At this point, Akai Shuichi took the initiative to stop James' words and began to say:

"There is new information now... The failure of the original operation may have been caused by their second-in-command directly dispatching it. Therefore, my goal should be more long-term..."

"So, you took the initiative to let go of the person who had fallen into our hands?"

James asked calmly.

"No...or maybe this is the price of obtaining information."

At this point, Akai Shuichi said this somewhat seriously.

In this way, after hearing Shuichi Akai tell him this in person and think about it for a while, James sighed a little——

"It seems that the timing situation here is far more complicated than the report you submitted."

"That's why I have to rely on you to take charge of the situation."

At this moment, Akai Shuichi said in a slightly joking tone...

…

"The foreigner disappeared without a trace before taking notes..."

On the other side, after successfully capturing the criminal who wanted to kidnap Mr. Hawke but mistakenly targeted Mr. James and was taken away by the police, faced with the fact that James finally disappeared, although Xiao Ai already knew Gao Yuan's feelings for this man. attitude, but still slightly meaningful, I tried to ask Conan’s opinion:

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"Really? He looks pretty good."

Conan replied casually, and then couldn't help but draw Xiao Ai's eyes -

"It's just that the name is a bit strange."

Seeing the way Xiao Ai looked at him, Conan finally changed his words slightly and said this.

"Name? Because 'Black'?"

A little puzzled, Xiao Ai asked unexpectedly. After all, the word "black" pronounced as "Black" means "black".

"No! But James."

But so far, Conan has denied it.

"Really? James Bond, James Dean... I think this name is pretty good."

Xiao Ai wondered, but then Conan read out a name:

"James Moriarty..."

"ah?"

Now, as the name appeared, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, but then Conan finally smiled and said:

"Haha... Or maybe this is just what Sherlock Holmes fans think. After all, the name James is still very common..."

After hearing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but become more indifferent, feeling that there was no need to talk to Conan about this -

It's better to go back and ask Gao Yuan, after all, he seems to know the other party's true identity...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai no longer planned to talk to Conan, so he saw her preparing to leave and walked in the direction of the young detective team.

But seeing this, Conan couldn't help but feel bad. He realized that procrastinating like this was not an option. Since it was something he had to face sooner or later, then...

"Wait a moment!"

Hastily, Conan called out to Xiao Ai with a smile on his face, but Xiao Ai turned around with an indifferent expression and asked:

"What's wrong?"

So, faced with this situation, Conan thought for a while and decided to get straight to the point:

"Well... since the last antidote was ineffective for us, have you... made any progress in the research and development of a new antidote?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai finally understood what Conan was planning, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his lips——

It seemed that Edogawa couldn't hold himself back after all.

Therefore, in response to Conan's question, Xiao Ai immediately said with confusion on his face:

"What's wrong? Is it possible that you have something that needs an antidote to deal with?"

In this way, after hearing Xiao Ai's ambiguous response and looking at the change in her expression, Conan knew that the other party was deliberately talking about him. However, she had the control over the antidote, and Conan had no other choice. What can I do? I can only suppress the depression in my heart, smile and step forward and continue to ask:

"This... I'm not concerned about your research... How about it? Is there any progress? Is there any experimental antidote made? If you are worried about the effect, I can also cooperate with you in the experiment!"

Having said that, Conan felt extremely depressed at the moment, but thinking that since Haiyuan should have taken the new antidote before, his so-called "cooperating with the experiment" was actually his plan to directly ask Haiyuan for the antidote. It can be regarded as an antidote with proven efficacy, so in order to get this, Conan is obviously prepared to——

Bear it!

In this regard, looking at Conan's slightly interesting look, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He knew clearly in his heart that Conan was able to behave like this entirely because of the new antidote he had researched, which made Xiao Ai feel interesting.

However, regarding the antidote, it is impossible not to give it to Conan. Otherwise, given his character, I don’t know how entangled he would be, but...

"Huh? You said...you can cooperate with the experiment, right?"

Xiao Ai, who smiled slightly and held her hands in front of her body, faced Conan who volunteered like this and couldn't help but ask this question.

"Well……"

Seeing this, facing Xiao Ai's expression, Conan was stunned and couldn't help but realize something was wrong...

…

"What about James Blake? Did he arrive in Japan just now, or has he arrived long ago?"

At the same time, after Xiao Ai and the others finished dealing with James' matter, Gao Yuan, who learned about the situation on their side, couldn't help but think like this -

After all, according to the original plot, FBI investigator James Blake's first appearance requires him to meet Shuichi Akai. He has obviously just arrived in Japan, and "Full Moon" has not yet arrived.

As a result, now that the incident of "Full Moon" planned by Belmod has ended, James appears in Conan and the others' awareness for the first time, which somewhat surprises Gao Yuan——

In short, the deviation occurred, and it seems to be quite small. However, regarding the situation where James was mistakenly identified as the wrong person and was kidnapped, there seems to be no change in terms of the incident itself.

Such a situation...

Gao Yuan was a little doubtful. Afterwards, when faced with some original plots, some reference methods with clear time points were still suitable.

Or, in fact, James has already been in Japan?

But no matter what, the contact between James and Conan must be a test of Conan and the others. I just don’t know if Conan and the others met James this time. Was it a series of things that were extended by coincidence, or was it everything? It was all designed by the FBI in advance.

Just as he was thinking about this, Gao Yuan suddenly received an email, and the source of the email——

It’s Kuroba Kaito!
