"Conan, we should go upstairs."
Ran called out. Conan turned his head and saw Ran holding his schoolbag and waving at him.
Conan didn't want to go up just yet. He wanted to know more about Haibara Ai. Even if he couldn't get anything from her, he could probably get something from Aizen. So he lied, "Ran-san, you go up first. I forgot about the homework the teacher assigned, and I want to check it with my classmate."
"Conan, you're not listening to the teacher in class—you're being naughty,"
Mouri Ran said as she walked over. Then, she handed him her schoolbag and said, "Here, take your schoolbag. Remember to listen carefully in class next time, okay?"
"Yes, Ran-san,"
Conan replied, feeling rather helpless.
"Remember to get along well with Ai."
Mouri Ran leaned over, patted Conan's head, and then turned to leave.
Conan didn't even knock on Haibara Ai's door. He had already decided to wait for Aizen to come down and ask him directly. He was sure he knew something; it was impossible for him to know nothing.
Moments after Mouri Ran left, Aizen walked into the cafe.
"Hey, Aizen."
Conan, who was sitting outside at the coffee table used to entertain guests, called out to Aizen and asked, "What's going on with Haibara?"
Aizen smiled and said, "Why, didn't she tell you anything?"
Conan asked, "She said she was a member of the Black Organization, codenamed Sherry. Did you know about this?"
"Come with me."
Aizen waved to Conan, and then walked to the door of the two sisters Akemi Miyano and Haibara Ai and knocked on the door.
"Ai, it's me!"
"I'm coming!"Haibara Ai's voice echoed from within the room, and soon after, the door to the room opened. After opening the door, Haibara Ai turned and walked inside, not even inviting the other two in.
Aizen and Conan, unfazed, walked in, with Conan following behind and closing the door behind them.
After walking a few steps forward, Conan looked at the two people in the room and said, "I say, what is going on? Can you two tell me?"
Aizen looked at Haibara Ai and said, "Should I tell it or you?"
Haibara Ai sat on the chair, looked at the magazine and said, "I've already said it once, so you tell it."
Aizen nodded and said to Conan, "Conan, this matter starts with Masami Hirota. The Masami Hirota I'm talking about is the Masami Hirota you know, not the Masami outside."
"Sister Masami?"
Conan looked at Aizen in confusion, but did not ask. At this moment, thinking of the Masami Hirota who was shot, he felt guilty.
Aizen said: "The name of Masami Hirota, who works at the bank is not this. Her real name is Akemi Miyano. The Masami outside is her cousin, so they look a bit similar. And Akemi Miyano is Sherry, the biological sister of the current Ai, and a member of the Black Organization. After Akemi Miyano was shot, Ai was heartbroken and chose to commit suicide by taking the poison 'APTX4869'. But the final result was the same as yours. She did not die, but turned back into her childhood appearance."
Conan looked at Haibara Ai at this time. He found that although Haibara Ai did not cry, the sadness in her eyes was obvious. Obviously, she was still very sad.
Of course, this is just what Conan thinks, and it is also what Haibara Ai wants to perform. If Conan thinks she is still sad, then her performance is successful. There is an old saying that women are good at acting, and that is absolutely true.
Aizen, Akemi Miyano, and Ai Haibara had discussed it and decided that since Akemi Miyano was already dead on the Black Organization's list, they should just let her die. There was no need for Akemi Miyano to appear again. Even to Conan, they would just say they were cousins. If Conan ever discovered the truth, they would just let it go. It wouldn't be a big deal anyway, and Conan wouldn't be too angry even if he found out.
"Before she betrayed the organization, Ai was in charge of researching the poison 'APTX4869'. Among all the people on the list who took the poison, you were the only one listed as unknown, and the rest were all dead, so Ai noticed you. The first time Ai went to your house with the organization, she didn't find anything, but the second time she went to your house, she discovered one thing, that is, all your childhood clothes were gone. In her investigation, she found the Mouri Office and locked on you, who had become Edogawa Conan."
"So, the Black Organization already knows that Kudo Shinichi has become Conan?"
Conan asked in a heavy voice. He was not only worried that the Black Organization would know that he had become Conan, but also that Aizen knew his true situation, which made him a little worried. He did not completely trust Aizen yet.
"You don't have to worry about this for the time being."
Haibara Ai said, "After I found out that you turned into Edogawa Conan, I changed your information to death because I was very interested in you. The reason I did that was that I knew that if I reported my discovery to the organization, you would definitely be killed by Gin before I got you. I didn't expect that my momentary selfish thoughts would allow you to escape the organization's hunt. But now I have betrayed the organization. If the organization knew that the list had been changed by a traitor like me, the organization would definitely become suspicious of you again, so you'd better be careful."
"Then..did you choose to betray the organization because of Sister Akemi?"
Conan asked. He felt that this possibility was very high.
Ai Haibara said with sadness in her eyes: "I asked the organization about my sister, but the organization did not give me a formal answer, so I used the interruption of the experiment as a means, and eventually I was locked up. Later, I learned from Ceaser that my sister was killed by Gin, so I took the poison I prepared in advance. I originally wanted to go to accompany my sister, but I didn't expect that I would be like you. I didn't die, but turned into a child. After becoming a child, I escaped from the garbage outlet. I originally wanted to go to your house, but I met Aizen halfway and was brought back by him."
