The next day, Mihua Hospital.

Judy sat on the hospital bed, looking at the sky outside the window, lost in thought.

After a while, James and Akai Shuichi walked in one after another.

James stood at the door and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Well, luckily the bullet didn't hit the vital point. It should be fine soon..."

Judy, who was quiet and intellectual just a second ago, immediately changed into a serious face.

The operation failed to catch Belmod, and she was the one who felt the most regretful. It was a great opportunity to arrest the enemy with her own hands, but she missed it because she organized the rescue of her accomplices.

After saying goodbye, I don’t know when the next time I will know the whereabouts of Belmod.

Of course, the FBI has not completely lost its clues.

According to what Bellmode said that night, she was very attached to the little girl named "Shirley" and wanted to get rid of her.

As long as the FBI can always stay with "Shirley", it means there will be a chance to find Belmod in the future.

However, Shuichi Akai firmly opposed the plan of using "Shirley" as bait and applied for the FBI's witness protection system.

As long as Haiyuan Ai agrees, the FBI can keep his name anonymous, live somewhere in the United States, find a retired FBI agent with a good family background, and adopt him, so that he can have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.

The only thing is that you can never interact with people you have known before.

"Isn't today the time to give an answer?"

"I don't know if the little girl named 'Shirley' will accept our conditions..."

James murmured while glancing at Akai Shuichi who was leaning against the wall next to the ward door.

"Xiuyi, what do you think?"

James's question was tentative, because he also saw that Akai Shuichi seemed to have a close relationship with the girl named "Shirley", and that Shuichi took great care of her.

In fact, James had a bold guess in his mind, that this little girl "Shirley", judging from the code name Belmode called her, should be a member of the black organization.

Shuichi Akai also once worked undercover in the organization. Maybe something happened between the two of them in the organization...

It's just that for Shuichi Akai, James doesn't completely regard him as a subordinate, but more like a friend.

If his friend doesn't want to talk, it's hard for him to press him. Besides, Akai Shuichi is principled and knows how to handle things, and he knows what things should be explained proactively.

Therefore, James still wanted to wait for Shuichi Akai to figure it out before speaking out on his own initiative.

But let’s test Akai Shuichi’s attitude first. It’s not too much of a thing between friends.

Akai Shuichi leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and said, "Maybe."

After two seconds of silence, he said again.

"I hope so..."

As the official brother-in-law and designated lover of sister Haibara Ai, Akai Shuichi tried his best to help Haihara Ai within the scope of his ability.

Although Mingmei is no longer here, Akai Shuichi wants to abide by his agreement with Mingmei and take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister-in-law.

Just when the three people in the room fell silent in the strange composition, a short figure hurried over to the door of the ward and knocked on the door.

Dudu——

James and Akai Shuichi were alert at the same time, but when they saw the short figure behind the frosted glass at the door, they immediately understood who was coming.

The two did not want to create an overly serious atmosphere, and Akai Shuichi, who felt guilty, did not want to meet Haibara Ai now, so the two hid behind the screen on the other side of the hospital bed.

"Please come in."

After Judy finished speaking, a brown-haired loli walked into the ward, still breathing heavily.

"I'm so happy~ I didn't expect you to come to visit me."

Judy's face was full of smiles, her tone was very relaxed, and she did not directly turn the topic into a serious part.

But of course Haiyuan Ai is not here to visit the patient.

Although Conan said that the FBI are good people and have outstanding abilities in all aspects, after all, they have been part of the organization for a long time, and they just don't have a good impression of the FBI.

People who have lived in darkness for a long time will subconsciously raise their hands to cover their eyes even if they step into the sunlight one day.

"While my mind hasn't changed yet, I want to tell you my answer..."

Entering the topic, Judy still smiled, "Have you decided yet? Do you accept the witness protection system?"

Hui Yuan Ai calmed down her breath, straightened up and looked at Judy on the hospital bed.

"That's right. If I can change my name and become another person, I can live safely for a while."

"But, I refuse."

Upon hearing this answer, Judy on the hospital bed and the two people behind the screen all reacted to varying degrees.

Huihara Ai continued: "If I choose to escape now, I will have to remain anonymous amidst vigilance and fear every day. Once exposed, I will have to change my identity, endlessly..."

"Furthermore, there is no conclusive evidence that would lead me to fully trust the FBI's protection."

"Besides, what I want to say is that I don't want to escape..."

Judy was a little touched by Haiyuan Ai's words. Once upon a time, she was also a scared little girl like Haiyuan.

In order to avenge her parents, she resolutely chose to accept the witness protection system and must join the FBI in the future.

However, Haiyuan Ai's situation is different from hers, and the former's determination is not that great.

Even if she knew that Gin was the murderer of her sister, Haibara Ai did not dare to think about revenge. She was even scared to death of Gin's look in her eyes and the words "Ah~ Sherry" in her dream.

Haihara Ai is not fearless, but it is precisely because of fear that he does many seemingly "fearless" things.

Fearing that Belmode would execute Conan, she "fearlessly" ran out to seek death.

It was also because she was afraid that Belmod would harm innocent people around her, such as Mao Lilan and Cheng Shi, because she wanted to kill her again, that she considered accepting the protection of the FBI.

But on the way to school today, Conan told her the latest news, or a "secret".

Belmod will never attack Shirley again.

At the same time, the organization will send a new killer named "Michael", a blond foreigner.

This person is no stranger to both villains. He is Miyano Akemi's lover and Haibara's brother-in-law, but he is also a killer lurking in the darkness.

Conan's idea is that if Michael appears around, his side can persuade the other side to act as an internal response to the red side's organization.

Michael still has a conscience in his heart, and he does not completely obey the orders of the organization, so the probability of successfully instigating rebellion is still very high.

Once this person can be captured, the initiative here will be much greater. It will no longer even be a passive defense, but will have the opportunity to counterattack the organization.

Conan had this plan in his heart, and when he told him about this plan, there was light in his eyes.

By chance, Hui Yuan Ai saw the light in his eyes.

Therefore, Conan gave her hope, and this time Haibara Ai did not want to escape her fate.

"Let me tell you something, the organization is about to send out a new killer."

"But that person is my sister's lover, he will not hurt me."

"Please don't hurt him..."

Haibara Ai was sure that he would not cooperate with the FBI. In order to continue investigating the black organization, the FBI would definitely continue to monitor the surrounding areas.

If Michael takes action, he will inevitably have a major conflict with the FBI, involving the use of knives and guns.

Hui Yuan Ai didn't want anything to happen to her brother-in-law. Her father, mother, and sister all passed away one after another. She didn't want to lose any more relatives or friends.

Whether it's Conan, Cheng Shi, Mao Lilan, Dr. Ali, Didan Xiaoxiao... or her brother-in-law, she wants everyone to live well.

Judy was still dazed, and Haihara Ai added: "Michael is a foreigner with blond hair."

"that's all……"

After saying that, Hui Yuan Ai turned around and pushed the door open to leave with a small schoolbag on her back.

These days are becoming more and more promising.

…

After Hui Yuan Ai left, James walked out from behind the screen with a calm and serious expression.

"How did that little girl know this information?"

As the commander of this operation, James' first consideration was whether the intelligence source was reliable.

Judy, who was lying on the hospital bed, analyzed: "That little girl is not ordinary. Maybe there is an information source that we don't know about?"

"But this information is very likely to be true, because at the dock that night, a man with blond hair finally rescued Belmode."

"I can confirm that there is indeed such a number one person in the organization."

Judy said "ye" because another "unusual" child was Edogawa Conan.

After listening to Judy's analysis, James nodded in agreement, "It seems certain that the organization has not given up. We need to make a plan next..."

As for what kind of plan to make, whether to treat him to a guest, behead him, or accept him as a dog, the FBI still needs to carefully discuss it internally.
