When Rin woke up again, she found herself lying on the soft bed in her bedroom, covered by a thin air-conditioning quilt.
Rin rubbed her eyes, feeling that her memory before fainting was a bit blurry, as if she had blacked out.
She turned her head and suddenly noticed that Ellen was sleeping on the pillow next to her.
Because of her shark tail, Ellen's sleeping posture was quite unique.
She slept face down, buried in the pillow, with the weight of her entire upper body seemingly pressing on her chest and cheeks.
"Sleeping like this… won't it cause difficulty breathing?"
Rin's thoughts began to wander, and her gaze involuntarily slid towards Ellen's more prominent bust contour, which was accentuated by her sleeping position.
"And why, with this pressure, is her development still so good? Theoretically, shouldn't it… be flattened? Is there some special secret?"
Driven by intense curiosity, Rin slowly extended her mischievous little hand, her fingertips trembling slightly as she reached towards Ellen's full curves… Just as her fingertips were about to touch the soft spot.
"What are you trying to do?"
Ellen's muffled voice came from the pillow.
She raised her head, her gaze warily fixed on Rin's small hand, which was frozen in mid-air, her eyes as sharp as knives.
"Eh heh!"
Rin was startled, her hand retracting like lightning, her heart pounding, and a thoroughly innocent smile quickly formed on her face.
"Ah haha, El, Ellen, you're awake? I, I just wanted to ask, where did Miyabi go? Why is she gone after I woke up?"
Ellen narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Rin suspiciously for several seconds before slowly sitting up, tidying her slightly disheveled maid outfit, and saying calmly.
"Hoshimi Miyabi left when you fainted, ahem… when you were asleep."
"Left?" Rin was stunned for a moment, and her memories began to revive, recalling what had happened earlier.
"That's right!"
Rin asked again.
"How long did I sleep? Did anyone look for me in the meantime?"
"About an hour or two. Your phone rang a few times during that time."
Ellen pointed expressionlessly at Ling's phone on the nightstand.
"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
Rin quickly grabbed her phone and unlocked the screen.
Sure enough, there were several missed calls, and the displayed avatar was a playful cartoon mouse.
It was Jane Doe's call.
Because the call didn't go through, Jane Doe had also sent her several encrypted messages on the Rope Network's communication software.
The general content was that the Black Organization was preparing to assassinate Hoshimi Miyabi.
And it detailed the Black Organization's action plan.
Jane Doe also specifically mentioned that, according to her observations, Amuro Tooru and Mizunashi Rena seemed to have secretly contacted the Japanese Public Security and the CIA, respectively.
After reading the messages, Rin's expression became very interesting, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead and complain.
"Oh my goodness! What kind of shoddy operation is this Black Organization? The plan was completely leaked before the operation even began?
Does Gin know that his team is full of traitors? I don't know how the Black Organization has managed to operate until now…"
She simply couldn't understand.
Meanwhile, at Haido Central Park.
Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle was parked far away on an inconspicuous street outside the park.
Conan insisted on acting alone.
"Hakase, you and Haibara stay around here. Do not go near the park! It's likely very dangerous inside now," Conan warned with a serious expression.
Haibara Ai grabbed his sleeve, her eyes full of worry. "Are you sure you want to go in? It's too risky!"
"I have to go!"
Conan's eyes were exceptionally firm.
"Since I can't stop Hoshimi Miyabi from coming, then I must at least be on site to see if I can do anything.
Besides, my wiretap is still on Mizunashi Rena's shoe sole. I have to find a way to retrieve it, otherwise, everyone will be in danger."
With that, Conan pulled open the car door, nimbly jumped out, and quickly ran towards the park.
The park seemed calm, with many citizens strolling and exercising.
Conan quickly scanned the nearby high ground, roughly speculating on possible sniper points.
At the same time, he was also looking for a suitable ambush spot for himself.
That spot had to be close to where Nichuri TV was interviewing Hoshimi Miyabi, to facilitate his rescue in an emergency, while also being sufficiently hidden.
He couldn't expose himself to the sight of Black Organization members in high places.
Soon, Conan locked onto an excellent ambush spot.
From there, he could observe most of the fountain plaza, and the vegetation was exceptionally dense, only the tree canopy could be seen from above, making it very concealed.
Conan carefully pushed aside the branches, held his breath, and silently slipped in.
However, the next second he entered the bush, two dark gun muzzles, one left and one right, simultaneously pressed against his temples.
The sensation was that of pistol silencers!
Conan's body instantly stiffened, and his heart almost stopped beating.
He slowly rotated his eyeballs, looking to both sides.
He didn't need to look, but when he did, it startled him.
"Jodie-sensei?"
Conan exclaimed.
On his left, pointing a gun at him, was Jodie, the blonde foreign woman wearing glasses.
And on his right was a man wearing a black knit cap.
Conan also recognized the other person. he had seen him once during the previous bus hijacking incident.
Although the person was disguised at the time, the knit cap and similar build made him sure he hadn't mistaken him.
What shocked Conan even more was that both of them were fully armed, and the bulletproof vests they wore were emblazoned with the word "FBI."
Conan's mind raced, and he quickly came to a conclusion, these two were FBI. The last time he met them on the bus, they might have been tracking Black Organization members.
Their appearance here this time must also be because they received information in advance and came to ambush Gin and his group.
"Conan-kun, what are you doing here?"
Jodie recognized the child who frequently appeared at crime scenes, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Conan suddenly popped in just now, she had thought that she and Akai Shuichi had been discovered by the Black Organization.
Akai Shuichi didn't speak, his gaze scrutinizing Conan.
Conan tried to pretend to be an ordinary child who had wandered in, saying in an excited tone.
"Jodie-sensei, my friends and I are playing hide-and-seek. Are you and this big brother also playing hide-and-seek? Your toy guns look so realistic, can I borrow them to play?"
"Yes, yes."
Jodie seized the opportunity, her eyes turning into dots.
She hadn't known how to explain it, but Conan had come up with the excuse for her.
"Since you and Jodie-sensei are hiding here first, then I'll go hide somewhere else, hahaha."
Conan scratched his head with a silly grin, preparing to leave.
However, just as he turned to leave, Akai Shuichi grabbed his shoulder from behind.
"Wait, kid."
