Chapter 109 Xiao Ai Doesn’t Want to Grow Up
In the bar, Kogoro Mouri was drinking beer absent-mindedly.

"You have done a good job on your recent mission." Gin looked at Kogoro Mouri with satisfaction.

He is diligent and capable. He is not a troublemaker like Tanigawa, nor can he only drive like Vodka. He is his favorite member of the organization.

As for loyalty to the organization?

As long as he can get the job done, Gin doesn't want to force the issue of loyalty.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Gin and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Gin frowned at his hesitant look.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Gin said.

"That Absolut came to me once, and his behavior was a little strange." Kogoro Mouri glanced at Gin, and seeing that Gin had no expression, he had to continue.

"He said you were old and wanted me to join him to fight against you."

Gin tilted his cigarette in his mouth and said, "You should have known Absolut for a long time, right?"

Maori Kogoro said in a panic: "I have indeed known Absolut for a long time, but I just thought he was an ordinary second-generation. I didn't know he was a member of the organization. I am definitely on your side!"

"Whoo~"

Gin exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "There are no factions in the organization. Even if there are, it is not Tanigawa and I who are in opposition."

A little kid with mental problems can really challenge his position in the organization? He is just relying on his family's influence to do whatever he wants in the organization.

"Really?" Kogoro Mouri wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Why is Gin's statement different from Tanigawa's? Whose information should I believe? This kind of internal power struggle of a criminal group is really not suitable for me to participate in.

"What have you done recently and how did you attract Vermouth's attention?" Gin asked.

"What? Who is Vermouth?" asked Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

"A troublesome and troublesome code member." Gin said.

Kogoro Mouri felt numb. He was just a small detective, how could he deserve so many people's attention?

And from what Gin said, this code member is also a troublesome guy.

"That Vermouth, does she know that I'm a member of the organization?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"do not know."

Kogoro Mori felt even more upset. Why was he still interested in me if he didn't know I was a member of the organization?

……

"Habara, are you developing the antidote?"

At Teitan Elementary School, Conan asked Ai in a low voice.

"We're already studying it." Xiao Ai said calmly.

I don't have any information at all. I can only rely on what I remember in my mind. Who knows how long it will take to develop an antidote.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a kid.

"How did you do your research? Do you have a place to do research in the Tanigawa family?" Conan looked at Ai suspiciously.

Tanigawa doesn't know Haibara's identity, and Haibara has no intention of revealing her identity to Tanigawa. In Tanigawa's house, does Haibara have the time and space to research the antidote?

"I'm researching in my bedroom." Xiao Ai spoke confidently without blushing or getting nervous.

After living with Tanigawa for so long, Ai has imitated Tanigawa's expression when he lies very well.

Conan half-closed his eyes, not believing a word of what Ai said. Even if Huibara had a space for research, she didn't have the necessary equipment and medicines. Did she rely on meditation to do her research?

"Haibara, could you please do your research faster?" Conan asked in a pleading tone.

"Isn't it nice to be a child? No need to work, no need to socialize, and all you have to do is deal with these stupid elementary school students. Isn't it great to relive your childhood?" Xiao Ai smiled and shook her hair.

Xiao Ai, who had a miserable childhood, likes this kind of life very much.

It is relatively peaceful and comfortable. I don’t have to worry about all those messy things every day. I just have to worry about whether that guy Tanigawa will suddenly die outside one day and be unable to return home.

She lost everything, but now she has a chance to start over and forget the past. This is a gift from God.

Conan put on a sour face, "I'm not an 80-year-old grandmother like you. It would be nice to go back to my childhood. I'm a genius high school student. I have my own friends, Kudo Shinichi's friends!"

You said you would help me research the antidote, but how long has it been and there is still no progress?

This kind of non-keeping behavior is not like Tanigawa at all. Tanigawa must have had a benign genetic mutation, which eliminated all the lying genes.

"The reason why you want to become Kudo Shinichi as soon as possible is probably because of your childhood sweetheart." Xiao Ai yawned out of boredom.

He's simply afraid that if he doesn't show up, his childhood sweetheart will fall in love with someone else.

Haha, love between little kids?

Oh~
"Whatever you think, I just want to know when you will help me research the antidote." Conan said with a blushing face.

Xiao Ai waved her hand and said, "Let's start today. You provide the location, equipment and medicines."

"it is good!"

After getting Ai's promise, Conan took the phone to communicate with Dr. Agasa, and soon returned to Ai and said, "It's better to go to Dr. Agasa's house. It's very close to your home."

"Okay." Xiao Ai said, lying on the table.

What a shame! I finally have time to relax for so long and now I have to start working again.

I really don’t know what I was thinking at the time. Why did I reveal my identity in a fit of anger? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
It’s all Tanigawa’s fault!
Yes! It's all Tanigawa's fault. If he hadn't panicked after learning that he was a member of the organization, why would he have revealed his identity?

……

"Calvados, what do you want from me?"

Tanigawa sat at a table in the bar with a juice in his hand, opposite Calvados. Calvados invited Tanigawa out in a weird way today.

"Do you want the original flavor of Vermouth again? I'll make a phone call and have someone get it."

Calvados paused, then said, "No."

"Then why did you ask me to come here? I have to pick up my sister later." Tanigawa said.

"It was Vermouth who asked me to call you out. She asked me to delay you for a while." Calvados said frankly.

"I've stalled long enough now. You can go now."

Tanigawa's face was full of confusion, and Vermouth asked Calvados to delay him for a while. Did she recognize Ai?

The hair has changed, the style has changed so much, but Vermouth can recognize it? How much does she like Ai!

"Calvados, you are very good." Tanigawa smiled and patted Calvados' shoulder. Calvados felt that the bones in his shoulder were about to break.

"If I find out that Vermouth has done something bad, I will reward you by letting you stay with her forever, how about that?"

Calvados looked into Tanigawa's eyes, and he didn't feel that Tanigawa was going to reward him.
