When Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Ari returned home, Haibara Ai was sitting on the sofa holding a cup of steaming coffee, and the old god was flipping through a magazine on the floor.

Hearing the sound of them entering the door, Haiyuan Ai did not look back. He just turned over a page of the magazine in his hand and spoke lightly.

"So, for what reason did you take the antidote this time?"

It was obviously not the tone of questioning, but hearing this made Kudo Shinichi's hair suddenly rise.

"Doctor! Didn't I ask you to hide Haiyuan's secrets?!"

The doctor sneered: "Haha... Shinichi, you know, Ai-chan..."

Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair irritably: Tsk, you know the doctor is unreliable.

He had no choice but to sit across from Haiyuan Ai and slowly began to explain the cause and effect to her.

After hearing what he had experienced, the expression on Haiyuan Ai's face became even more speechless: "Let the doctor invent a portable monitoring radar, the kind that is specially fixed on the back of your head. It will give you a warning when someone is approaching."

Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, but he knew he was wrong, so he didn't contradict him again.

He thought for a moment and realized that even if he kept some things hidden, he probably wouldn't be able to hide them for long, so he cleared his throat and decided to have a showdown with Haihara Ai.

"Well, Haiyuan, do you know that there is a member in the organization named Natafe?"

Hui Yuan Ai, who was holding the coffee, was slightly startled, and her eyes suddenly stared at him.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned by her: "Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You mean, Natafi?"

"Yes, the newly promoted core member in the pre-organization stage, code name, Natafi."

The expression on Haiyuan Ai's face changed slightly: "... Newly promoted in the previous stage? Haven't you always been in the organization?"

Kudo Shinichi was a little unsure of what she meant: "It should be...I've always been in the organization, but I just got the code name in the previous stage?"

Her expression and reaction were very unusual. Kudo Shinichi asked: "Are you familiar with her?"

Hui Yuan Ai took a sip of coffee, suppressed the abnormality on his face, and then spoke carefully: "I...should know a 'Natafi', but maybe it's not the person you mentioned."

Her choice of words was very strange, making Kudo Shinichi frown: "...'should'?"

Hui Yuan Ai thought for a while and seemed to not know how to speak.

When she didn't speak, the expression on her face was so serious that it was a little scary.

The way Kudo Shinichi looked at her, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking at the moment.

After a while, Haibara Ai spoke again: "Kudo, have you ever experienced a 'memory bias'?"

Kudo Shinichi had a solemn expression.

When Furukawa Kumisa took a taxi back to the construction site where the incident occurred, the hands on his watch had already reached nearly two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Different from the shadowy buildings when passing by before, now the police are out and the lights on the police cars parked on the roadside can already illuminate half of the construction site.

The Search Division 1 brought special headlights for nighttime police work, which illuminated the scene of the incident as brightly as day. When Furukawa Kumisa took a closer look, he actually saw Officer Megure sitting in person under the spotlight, and Matsuda who was reporting something stood next to him.

The formation is flat.

Furukawa Kumisa had briefly reviewed the case before he came. Although the person who finally "came out" was Kudo Shinichi, he was probably not locked in a coffin when he went out as "Kudo Shinichi"

of.

Judging from how cautious Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai are towards the black organization, they will never take the antidote to become bigger unless necessary, and wandering around outside with a 17-year-old body will only give them

People around you pose a danger.

From this point of view, it is very likely that the child "Edogawa Conan" was imprisoned in the coffin, and after he woke up and found himself in the coffin, he had to take the antidote and grow bigger before he could break out of the coffin.

That's why Kudo Shinichi was in a hurry to "drive" Furukawa Kumisa away. Kudo Shinichi is now a dead person to the outside world, and he must never be seen alive by others.

When he finished thinking about all this, Furukawa Kumisa had already walked beside Officer Megure and the others.

The first person to see her was Matsuda Jinpei. He waved at her and smiled: "Hey, here we come."

Matsuda Jinpei's smile was very bright and happy.

He liked to laugh, but he was used to smiling uninhibitedly with the corners of his mouth raised and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Instead of like now, the sincere joy clearly overflowed from his smile, leaving Furukawa Kumisa a little at a loss.

She calmed down and walked forward to greet the two of them.

Officer Megure has heard about this second class officer who has excellent professional abilities, and his attitude towards her is very kind.

"Furukawa-kun from the second class, right? I'd like to trouble you to make a trip late at night, which will delay your sleep."

Furukawa Kumisa shook his head: "No, Officer Megure is too polite. Regarding the case, it's never too late. It doesn't matter."

Officer Memu nodded: "That's right, we received a report today, and it was from a... ahem, a boy we know well from the first search class.

"The caller claimed that around 20:30 tonight, he passed by the park and heard strange noises inside, so he went in to check. Unexpectedly, he was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious with a handkerchief full of ether.

He was put into a coffin and buried in the earth."

Furukawa Kumisa knew as soon as he heard that Kudo Shinichi asked Officer Megure to keep it a secret again.

She also pretended not to know: "So that's it. When I passed by around 22:45 this evening, I noticed something was wrong."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows after hearing her choice of words: "Did you notice something was wrong? How did you find that someone was buried alive in the ground?"

The place where Kudo Shinichi was buried was not on the side near the road, but on the inside of the construction site. Logically speaking, no one would walk inside.

Although the location where he was buried was not too deep, under such circumstances, even if he screamed for help, people on the road would not be able to hear the sound - so the question is, how did Furukawa Kumisa

Kudo Shinichi was found buried alive?

This is also a question that Officer Megure wants to know.

Furukawa Kumisa said what he had already prepared: "I didn't find anyone in the soil at first. When I passed by this road during the day, there was some problem with the GPS positioning, and I was guided to the wrong way by the navigation system.

Entered this construction site.

"At that time, I walked around the construction site and found that it was not the correct road, so I came out. Later at night, I discovered that my watch had fallen off at some point. I looked for it in various stores in the mall, but couldn't find it.

I wonder if it might have fallen on this construction site during the day.

"So after I left the mall, I came to the construction site to look for a watch, and then I found that the land traces in this place were different from when I came during the day - as you know, I have 'hyperamnesia', and the content I took a look at was absolutely

will not forget."

She thought this explanation was reasonable. There was no surveillance on the construction site anyway. She said she had been to the construction site during the day. As for the watch she was holding now, she would find it later.

"I was wondering at the time, and then I saw a hand sticking out of the soil after brushing it. It almost scared me to death."

When she said this, she showed a slightly frightened expression - you know, for a normal unprepared person, seeing this scene at night, it is already a perfect psychological quality for not fainting from fright.

Officer Megure obviously understood this. He reached out and patted Furukawa Kumisa on the shoulder: "You did a good job."

Furukawa Kumisa breathed a sigh of relief: "Then after a while, a young boy came out of the soil and said he had no clothes on. Then he lent me my mobile phone to call his friend. I'll wait here.

His friends left after they arrived."

She paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Hey... I should have called the police immediately... I was really frightened, so I went home directly.

"When I thought about it later, I thought he should have called the police himself. Sooner or later you would find me based on the call records, so I didn't bother."

At this point, Furukawa Kumisa has filled in all the possible loopholes in this matter.

Officer Memu was not suspicious - after all, she was neither the perpetrator nor the victim. She was just an enthusiastic person passing by. There was no reason to doubt her testimony without any reason.

After asking these questions, Officer Megure and Matsuda Jinpei asked some regular questions, such as "Did anything look strange when passing by the construction site during the day?"

He shook his head affirmatively.

Finally, she looked at Officer Memu and asked, "Did the boy who was imprisoned in the coffin have a grudge against someone?"

Officer Memu thought for a while: "...With the work he is doing now, he may indeed offend a lot of people, but according to what he said, this time it should be just an accident."

"accidental?"

"He just happened to pass by the construction site today and didn't notice that he was being followed."

Furukawa Kumisa: ...To be honest, based on Kudo Shinichi's vigilance behind the scenes, he wouldn't be noticed even if he was being followed.

Of course, Officer Megure didn't know about Furukawa Kumisa's complaints. He continued: "He only went in to find out what happened after he heard the strange noises in the construction site. It is very likely that someone in the construction site was carrying out some illegal activities, and he was arrested.

Only after he witnessed it did he want to silence him."

Hearing this, Furukawa Kumisa pondered for a while and suddenly said: "In this case, Officer Megure, I suggest sending more people to check the surrounding areas."

Officer Megure nodded: "It's already being done. We also feel that there are likely to be traces of illegal activities around here."

"Has the soil been rummaged through?"

Officer Memu was stunned: "Tuli?"

Matsuda on the side seemed to be reminded, and was instantly shocked: "What do you mean..."

Furukawa Kumisa nodded: "Things like coffins are not readily available. They must be prepared in advance. Since Officer Megure, you and the boy both feel that this attack is not directed at him, it means that this coffin is not

It was prepared for that young man, which means——"

Matsuda Jinpei took up what she said: "——They prepared this coffin for others, but the boy happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun and let them use it first."

Now that the coffin has been used by Kudo Shinichi, where are the things or people they originally planned to put in the coffin now?
