"I am fine."

He comforted Furuya Rei and then told him about the others' situation: "Ishigami-senpai and the others are in the safety passage on the second floor. They are currently in a coma. Eto and the others are still upstairs."

Fūya Ling nodded, took out his cell phone and called his men who were still on the way, then turned to Morobushi Keimitsu again: "Hiro, I'm here. You're injured. Evacuate with the hotel staff first..."

At this time, he noticed that there was another person following Zhu Fu Jingguang's legs.

Edogawa Conan looked up and saw that Furuya Zero noticed him, so he greeted him politely: "Officer Furuya."

Fūya Rei was surprised to see this elementary school student. He subconsciously looked back and was even more surprised when he found that only he and Morobushi Kagemitsu were around: "Just you? Where's your guardian?"

"This one……"

Edogawa Conan thought of something that happened a few minutes ago, an embarrassed look on his face, and he didn't know where to start.

Fūya Rei didn't make things difficult for the elementary school student, and went to see Morobushi Kagemitsu, who didn't have so many scruples, but he didn't know much about the situation: "When I saw him, he was following Aoyagi, and they saved me. Now Aoyagi is also up there."

Hearing this name, Fūya Rei instantly realized something.

"Could it be that the helicopter above is——"

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who knew his character well, smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Well, he called in... uh, 'support' from the US military base."

Furiya Rei's face turned even darker.

……

Since it was determined that the strafing from above came from a regular armed helicopter and not from some criminal organization, the employees did not evacuate in a hurry.

Conan Edogawa knew that with the arrival of the police, it would not be his turn to take care of the organization members, so he had to give up this opportunity and told the two police officers about Haibara Ai's appearance, asking them to help find her.

He called Aoyagi Akimitsu to confirm that everyone was fine, and found two public security officers who were "not a big problem" on the bus. He breathed a sigh of relief and went to the medical room to find Dr. Agasa.

As a result, he saw someone he didn't expect.

"Haiyuan?!"

Seeing the child-like Ai Haibara, the person he had asked the police to find just a minute ago, Conan Edogawa turned to the doctor in surprise:

"When did she come? Who sent her here?"

Haibara Ai was lying on the bed in front of Dr. Agasa, covered with a thin blanket. From her exposed shoulders and arms, it could be seen that she was currently wearing a very fitting set of clothes.

She was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, her cheeks pale but clean, as if someone had considerately wiped away the sweat for her.

"A female staff member." Dr. Agasa smiled. "I called Ai five minutes ago and she answered the phone. I was shocked at the time. She said she found her in the laundry room on the third floor below ground and asked me to take good care of the child and not let her run around if she was sick. I apologized and she sent Ai here."

Seeing the doctor's look of "That's great, Ai has been found and the other party doesn't suspect anything", Conan Edogawa frowned.

"Do you remember that man's face?"

He asked quickly.

Although he was very happy that Huibara returned safely, there were still doubts about this matter no matter how he looked at it.

Because a case happened upstairs, the employees were planning to pack up and leave early. Why would someone suddenly run to the laundry room downstairs at this time?

And looking at Huiyuan's state, I don't know how she changed her clothes. If she forced herself to change after turning back into a child, it would be fine, but if she fainted directly after turning back to her original appearance, and someone else helped her change her clothes...

Dr. Agasa was stunned when he saw his reaction.

He realized something was wrong later, frowned, and began to recall: "It's just... uh, it's quite ordinary. She was wearing a skirt that you can see everywhere for staff... In fact, I was only paying attention to Ai at the time and didn't take a close look at her appearance."

"..."

Hearing this answer, Edogawa Conan took a deep breath in his heart.

"……never mind."

He decided not to dwell on this for the time being, walked to the bed, touched Huihara Ai's forehead, carefully observed her condition, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems that she is just comatose, there is no big problem... Let's go back quickly."

……

When Dr. Agasa carried the unconscious Haibara Ai and followed Edogawa Conan back to the hall outside, several unfamiliar faces in suits gathered at the entrance.

When they saw someone approaching, they looked alert at first, but after they saw that they were two children and an elderly person, they relaxed.

Furiya Rei stepped forward and looked behind Dr. Agasa: "Has the missing girl been found?"

"Yeah." Edogawa Conan answered, "She fell asleep hiding in the laundry room downstairs and was sent to the infirmary by a waitress."

Furiya Ling didn't say much: "Now that we have found the person, let's go back quickly. It's quite late now, do you need me to send someone to take you there?"

Dr. Agasa quickly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but this place is not far from our home, we can go back by ourselves."

Conan Edogawa did not listen carefully to such meaningless compliments. He searched the crowd and soon found Aoyagi Akimitsu.

He was talking to someone on the phone, speaking English, with the eagle perched on his shoulder. A few police officers were secretly glancing at him, their eyes unkind, but they looked away after he looked past them.

Conan Edogawa recognized one of them. He was the policeman to whom he handed over the evidence in the banquet hall. He didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a public security officer.

This public security policeman looked the youngest among the group. His face didn't look very good at the moment. I don't know what he was thinking, and he even looked a little dazed.

Edogawa Conan walked towards Aoyagi Akimitsu. At this moment, a group of people carrying a stretcher passed by him. Lying on the stretcher was one of the people who was hit by Aoyagi Akimitsu on the third underground floor.

Compared to when they left, his face was bloody and he kept humming.

This change startled Edogawa Conan. He couldn't help but take another look. After seeing that there were five or six shallow pits on the other person's face - as if they were pecked by something sharp - he fell silent.

Edogawa Conan quietly walked to Aoyagi Akiko and looked up at the eagle. The eagle looked at him and gently rubbed Aoyagi Akiko's head with its head.

Aoyagi Akimichi turned his head first, then lowered it, and then saw Edogawa Conan. He put down his phone and said, "I heard it. Has the missing girl been found?"

This FBI agent who used to be a music teacher always had good hearing. Edogawa Conan nodded: "I want to go back. Dr. Agasa said he can take me there."

Qing Liu Bingguang hummed: "It will be fine if there is someone else reliable to take you there. I just happen to have something to take care of."

Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment. Thinking of the helicopter, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Aoyagi, did you and... um, the support you invited catch the criminals on it?"

"No." Qing Liu Bingguang looked at him, "When they opened fire, she sprinted over the guardrail and jumped into the sea. The police are going to send people to search for her."

"That's it..."

Edogawa Conan shrugged his shoulders weakly, and at the same time, an indescribable feeling of fatigue surged up.

Too many things happened tonight. He and Huiyuan suddenly grew bigger after eating the cake, three cases happened in the banquet hall, Huiyuan was photographed by the TV station's camera, and met the organization again...

Everything happened so unexpectedly, but without causing any serious consequences, it ended inexplicably.

Edogawa Conan recalled this long night and muttered in a low voice: "So what is the other Kudo Shinichi..."

This was what concerned him most tonight, and it made him more curious than the case or even the organization.

Unfortunately, Mr. Aoyagi said that "Kudo Shinichi" was not feeling well and was sent away by the police early. He was not the murderer in the case, so naturally no one paid attention to his subsequent movements, and no one knew where he was now...

Thinking of Xiaolan who was still in the hospital, and wondering whether Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Kogoro would tell her about this, Conan Edogawa sighed deeply.

Forget it, there's no point worrying about this. Let's leave the hotel first and go back to Agasa's house with the professor to wait for Huibara to wake up. After making sure she's okay, go back to the detective agency and have a good sleep. We'll deal with the rest tomorrow...

Thinking of this, Conan Edogawa decided to say goodbye to Aoyagi Akimitsu.

But when he met those eyes, he suddenly thought of someone:

"Mr. Qingliu, where is Miss White?"

Aoyagi Binguang didn't come alone tonight. He had a female companion with him. How come I haven't seen her since leaving the banquet hall?

"She has something to do, so she left first."

When mentioning the female companion, Aoyagi Binkou spoke calmly.

"——I have something to do too, so I won't stay any longer. You should go home early."

Without waiting for Conan Edogawa to answer, Aoyagi raised his hand and touched his head, then turned and walked to the other side after saying this. Conan Edogawa looked at his back as he walked away, and only came back to his senses when Professor Agasa called him from behind.

"Conan, we should go back."

Chapter 354 Try to survive

Night in Beika Town.

Maybe because too many things happened in the hotel tonight, Edogawa Conan returned safely.

The streets of Beika-cho 2-chome were shrouded in the silence of the night. Just in case, Dr. Agasa drove around and only returned to his residence quickly after finding that there were no suspicious vehicles around.

When Conan Edogawa was about to arrive, he called Mao Lilan. There was a TV in the single room, and she might have seen the news tonight. He told her that he was safe. When the car stopped, he just ended the call.

After getting out of the car, Dr. Agasa went straight to the back seat and carefully carried Haibara Ai on his back. Edogawa Conan opened the door and got out of the car, considering whether to send a message to Uncle Mori who might be back at some point.

"Shinichi, help me open the door. The key is in the left pocket of my shirt." Dr. Agasa, who was unable to free his hands, turned around and said.

"it is good."

Conan Edogawa looked away from the mobile phone screen, but when he looked up, he saw the person lying on Professor Agasa's back moved slightly.

"This...where is this?"

Haibara Ai, who had been sleeping all the way, opened her eyes. She met Dr. Agasa's eyes, which instantly changed from astonishment to surprise, with confusion, and was unable to understand the situation for a moment.

……

The two of them hurriedly sent the awakened Haibara Ai back to her room.

"Ai, how do you feel? Are you still dizzy?"

Dr. Agasa, who had suffered too many frights tonight, looked at the girl worriedly and touched her forehead tentatively. The temperature was normal, but he still couldn't feel at ease.

Huihara Ai huddled in the quilt. The small space gave her a great sense of security. She said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine, Doctor. I feel much better now."

Dr. Agasa frowned and wanted to say something else, but Edogawa Conan beside him interrupted: "Doctor, go get some food for Huibara. We only had some cake tonight."

"……it is good."

Dr. Agasa looked at him, then at Haibara Ai who did not object, and thought that they indeed had not eaten anything tonight, so he turned and walked out of the room.

The door closed with a click, and Edogawa Conan shifted his gaze to Haibara Ai.

Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and half of her face was covered by the quilt, so he couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Haiyuan."
