Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to explain.
Even though so many things happened tonight, in her heart...
Because Matsuda was there, she escaped unharmed.
Previously, after Matsuda left the hotel, Ai stayed alone in her room, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
Fortunately, after just over an hour, she returned to her child form and quickly asked the hotel receptionist to call Professor Agasa and have him take her to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Seeing Matsuda's mocking expression, Ai, though still angry,
But I must say, I felt a strange sense of peace.
It seems that as long as Matsuda is by her side, she doesn't need to worry about anything else.
"Ai, just say you're worried about me, you don't have to be so tsundere."
Matsuda chuckled and reached out to pinch Ai's cheek.
Ai's cheek twitched, and she angrily raised her hand to slap Matsuda's hand away.
That bastard! I really shouldn't give him a friendly look!
......
Two days later, in the hospital corridor,
"Hey Ai, didn't you say you just wanted to go out for a walk?"
Matsuda stood in the hospital corridor, carefully examining Ai's body. Only after confirming she had no obvious external injuries did he feel relieved and begin his sarcastic remarks.
"That brat Conan is still unreliable, isn't he?"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for making such sarcastic remarks at a time like this? You scoundrel."
Ai glared at Matsuda, then turned her head to stare at the operating room at the end of the corridor.
The "In Surgery" indicator light above remained on.
Hehe, that kid is the chosen one.
How could the protagonist of this world die so easily?
By the way, if Conan dies,
Will the time loop in this world be broken?
Matsuda suddenly had a whimsical idea.
He came into this world and has experienced all four seasons since then.
But less than two months have passed?
Half an hour later, the operating room lights went out.
After the doctor came out and told everyone that Conan was safe.
Whether it was Professor Agasa, the Detective Boys, or the Mori father and daughter, they all gathered around Conan, watching over him as he was being wheeled away while under anesthesia.
Ai, however, simply followed behind them, keeping a distance, and slowly kept up with them.
Matsuda and Ai walked together.
"Ai, are you still angry with me? You've been skipping home for days, shouldn't you go back? After that night at the Metropolitan Police Department, you insisted on moving to Professor Agasa's place. Even if you're throwing a tantrum, isn't that enough?"
"Can't you see that Conan is a complete jinx? He runs into dead people wherever he goes."
Seeing that Ai remained unmoved, Matsuda continued his incessant persuasion.
"Just going camping with them and you still run into bank robbers, and not just any robbers, but vicious ones who just shot their own companion. Don't you think it's safer to stay away from Conan?"
“Stop talking nonsense,” Ai said, frowning. “Haven’t you noticed? Ran Mouri seems to have already discovered that Edogawa’s true identity is Shinichi Kudo!”
"Really? This kid can't keep up the act of being young anymore?"
Matsuda's slightly surprised tone immediately annoyed Ai.
"Are you kidding me! If Ran Mouri finds out Kudo's identity, and she reveals something and gets caught by the organization, we'll all be killed!" Ai said angrily.
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
Matsuda put his index finger to his lips, indicating to Ai that they were in the hallway.
"Of course I know. Compared to you, who is just a researcher, I have dealt with them many times."
At this point, Matsuda bent down, squatted down, and patted Ai's head.
"So I know better than you that they are not as exaggerated as you imagine."
"They're just a bunch of low-level gangsters with a fighting strength of only five. They dare to act recklessly in the shadows, but once they come out into the open, it will be their doom."
A combat strength of only five? What does that mean?
Ai didn't understand the Dragon Ball reference, but she could tell from Matsuda's tone that it meant he was disrespecting the organization, and she immediately became displeased.
Do you even understand how terrifying this organization is?
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Gin isn't qualified to deal with me, and neither is Vermouth. They're no good."
Matsuda stood up and uttered a single sentence.
"You're afraid of that organization simply because you don't understand it, and you think I'd be afraid because you don't understand me."
"Hey! No matter how capable you are, you can't take on that organization by yourself!"
Seeing that Matsuda didn't turn around, Ai immediately raised her voice slightly.
"Didn't you say now wasn't the right time? Well, I have a way to dispel his doubts!"
Oh?
Upon hearing this, Matsuda immediately trotted back with great interest and asked curiously,
"tell me the story?"
"In the past two days, I have developed a medicine by studying the ingredients of baijiu."
Chapter 276 I've already silenced Xiaolan!
Speaking of baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor), Ai Haibara remembered the incident a couple of days ago when someone tore her clothes, and immediately rolled her eyes at Matsuda.
"Fortunately, I obtained the data on aptx4869 in the wine cellar, and then conducted some experiments with Professor Agasa."
"No wonder you haven't been home these past two days. So you've been doing research with Professor Agasa. You didn't even tell me the truth," Matsuda scolded.
"I just want to give it a try, but I'm not sure if I'll succeed?"
Ai said irritably.
"If I fail, some guy will definitely take the opportunity to laugh at me!"
"However, now is a good opportunity,"
Ai Haibara glanced at Conan not far away, and a smile crept onto her face.
"The efficacy of the drug is still not fully confirmed, so we'll take this opportunity to observe it carefully."
Upon hearing about bullying Conan, Matsuda immediately became interested and offered Ai a suggestion:
"Since you're going to trick him into taking the medicine, why not exaggerate the problem and scare him a little!"
......
That night, Conan lay happily in his hospital bed, reflecting on his conversation with Hattori during the day.
In the end, he recklessly decided to confess his feelings to Xiaolan, to tell her openly and honestly.
I am Conan Edogawa! I am Shinichi Kudo!
Just as he was getting excited, a crisp sound pulled him back to reality.
Conan looked up and saw the quiet hospital room.
An uninvited guest arrived: Ai Haibara.
At the same time, a pistol was pointed at his forehead, and the gun was in Ai's hand.
"I'm so sorry, my identity has been exposed."
Ai said coldly and expressionlessly.
"What do you mean?"
Conan's heart plummeted from beautiful fantasies to rock bottom.
"Before he died, Pisco told the rest of the organization my true identity: the organization had found me."
Ai let out a cold laugh as she said this.
"And that bastard Matsuda Jinpei, he was also bribed by the organization! If it weren't for him stopping me, I would have had a chance to escape!"
"Officer Matsuda... bribed? How is that possible?"
Conan said with a look of surprise, "Although he is usually cynical, he is definitely a responsible and good policeman. How could someone like that defect to the organization?"
Haha, I didn't expect this kid to trust me so much?
Matsuda stood at the door, chuckled silently, and then pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.
"I'm sorry, everyone has their own desires, and I'm no exception. And this organization just happens to be able to fulfill my needs, so I have no choice but to..."
"Officer Matsuda, you..."
Conan was speaking when he suddenly widened his eyes.
He noticed a small, dark red mark on Matsuda's body.
For him, who spends most of his time at crime scenes,
He immediately realized that it was clearly blood!
"Heh, you've already noticed?"
Matsuda looked down at the bloodstains on his suit and then sighed.
"I have to say, Xiaolan's kung fu is really good. I was trying to sneak up on her, but she still managed to react!"
