The Old Auntie's Scent of Conspiracy

At the same time, Teitan Elementary School.

"It's almost our turn!"

Ayumi stood at the door of the infirmary, unable to contain her excitement. "I wonder if I grew any taller during summer vacation..."

"How could I possibly grow taller..."

Conan, standing behind him, was speechless for a moment. "This is a routine check-up after the start of the semester. I remember it hasn't been that long since the last internal medicine check-up, has it?"

"Yes, Edogawa is right."

Standing in front of her, Ai Haibara slightly and crossed her arms in agreement, saying, "Although children develop very quickly, there shouldn't be much change in such a short period of time."

"Hey!"

Ayumi was a little disappointed. "We've already had a whole summer vacation..."

Mitsuhiko asked in confusion, "By the way Ayumi, why do you want to grow up so much?"

Ayumi replied innocently, "Because that way, I can give Brother Fujino chocolate next Valentine's Day!"

"Hey, Haibara..."

Conan nudged Ai Haibara's waist with his elbow. "Looks like you have a love rival now."

Ai Haibara: "..."

I really want to punch you twice right now!

"Next up, Yoshida!"

"I am coming!"

Sumiko Kobayashi's voice came from the infirmary. Ayumi responded and quickly went in.

But upon seeing the doctor conducting the physical exam, the little girl couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's Doctor Shinide. Shinichi!"

"New release...?"

Hearing the Ai Haibara was puzzled for a moment. She peeked out and looked into the infirmary, then froze in place.

Inside the medical room, Tomoaki Araide was sitting behind his desk.

She was wearing a stethoscope and holding a notebook in her hand.

As if sensing that someone was watching her, she looked up and forced a friendly smile, like a big brother next door.

However, this smile appeared extremely sinister to Ai Haibara.

Just one glance was enough to make her heart pound and her hands and feet feel cold and numb.

As the body's danger warning system kept beeping, a sense of fear began to spread from the heart to the whole body.

Organization radar is back online!

The fear ingrained in our genes is not wrong.

This person is definitely part of the organization!

Ai Haibara quickly looked away, her body trembling as she feared her face would be seen.

She instinctively wanted to shake hands...

But looking around, there were no hands to hold.

Realizing this, the fake loli suddenly became flustered.

Like a delicate little animal, her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Conan was standing nearby, naturally noticed Ai Haibara behavior. He couldn't help but wonder for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Is she feeling it again?"

"It's inside..."

Ai Haibara's face turned pale, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Tomoaki Araide?"

Conan looked toward the infirmary and immediately frowned.

He sensed that this matter was not simple.

If it were only once or twice, Ai Haibara might still misjudge.

But every time I see this new guy, it triggers a strange sixth sense, which is a bit problematic.

He now suspects three people who stole Fujino and Mori's case files: Jodie, Akai, and Araide.

Although he didn't know why he stole Fujino's files, he figured it was to cover up Uncle Mori's files.

They came for him!

He had already confirmed at the memorial service at the Cup Guard Hotel that the American actress Vinayard and Pisco were both members of the organization.

The current Vinayard is Sharon Vinayard's daughter, while Sharon, who died a year ago, was her mother's fellow disciple.

Therefore, he made a bold conjecture: Sharon and Chris are the same person.

Immediately afterwards, he began to wonder why the other party, having discovered his identity, hadn't come to kill him.

Could it be because of my mother?

However, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he began to ponder who among the people lurking around him really was Vinayard.

Judging from her appearance, gender, and race, English teacher Jodie is clearly the most suspicious candidate. When she and Heiji investigated her before, they also confirmed that she was not a simple person.

As for Akai, judging from his previous behavior, he seems to be in cahoots with Jodie... As for Shinichi, he is actually the least suspicious one.

No matter how you look at it, it's highly unlikely that the new one is a fake Vinayard.

After all, how could something so big be bound so flat?

Is this reasonable?

This is completely unreasonable!

But then Conan thought of his mother again.

Suddenly, he realized that the fact that it was so tightly bound wasn't entirely impossible.

"Next up is Haibara!"

Sumiko Kobayashi's voice came from inside the door again.

Ai Haibara swallowed hard and staggered into the infirmary.

After examining her, Tomoaki Araide smiled at the little girl and said, "You're very healthy... but you seem a bit tired. You should get more rest to avoid catching a cold due to a weak immune system."

"Um..."

Ai Haibara nodded blankly, turned and walked out of the infirmary. She slowed her pace, afraid of being noticed anything amiss, and her small fists clenched nervously.

After she left the infirmary.

"Fujino- san's child, Ai Haibara...?"

Tomoaki Araide sat at his desk, examining the student files. He rubbed his chin together, a playful smile spreading across his face. "She's an interesting little girl~"

The parking lot of Teitan High School after school.

After a long day at school, Fujino dragged his tired body to the parking lot.

As a student of excellent character, he must be filled with a thirst for knowledge.

However, having already mastered the skills of a university graduate, he had already learned everything that could be learned from textbooks.

You can't get experience points for free by going to school now...

All I can say is that Cun Cun is in jail.

"Fujino- san!"

Just as Fujino was about to open the car door and get in, a man's voice came from behind him, interrupting his actions.

Fujino turned around and saw Tomoaki Araide walking slowly toward him.

However, this Tomoaki Araide is clearly not a true Shinichiro.

It was actually Vermouth in disguise, a fake Shinichi.

Fujino seemed somewhat puzzled as to why this Old Auntie would seek him out.

After all, she never pays any attention to him normally.

Why did you take the initiative to come to me today?

Tired of acting with Teacher Yingyu, are you here to satisfy your cravings as a young man?

As the saying goes, "A weasel paying respects to a chicken is up to no good."

Fujino felt that the Old Auntie was definitely up to something...

He then feigned a moment of confusion and asked her, "Oh, it's Doctor Shinide. What can I do for you?"

That's right.

Tomoaki Araide walked over slowly, a warm smile on his face, "This morning, I went to Teitan Elementary School for my pre-school physical exam, and there was a little girl who looked familiar."

He paused, then continued, "By the way, little Haibara, isn't she Fujino's daughter?"
