The coupe drove smoothly on the road, and the luxury cars dressed in gorgeous chrome alloys attracted the attention of many young girls. Enjoying this envious gaze, wearing sunglasses and a black suit, David, who looked like a bodyguard, listened to the speeches of the two teenagers behind him while driving.

Conan promised Sera to meet Mary. Such a crisp answer made her ecstatic and impatient, so when she returned to the hotel, Sera gave another short blow.

"What are you doing in such a hurry," said Mary, "I'm going to leave them some leeway, I can't rush it, I won't meet them to-day, tomorrow evening, it's at this hotel, you book a box here, understand?" ”

Shiliang nodded, and quickly shook his head: "No! There is a problem that must be solved before that! ”

"What's the problem?"

"Money...... It's not enough...... "I was forced to invite everyone to dinner last night, and my wallet was already empty, and I didn't even have enough money to book a private room.

Mary threw out a card: "Go, there should be thirty or forty thousand dollars left here, enough for you." ”

If Ji Haihong was here, he would definitely joke that Mary's spend-thrift had not changed at all.

So the next morning, Ji Haihong and Conan received invitations from Shiliang respectively.

"It's pretty formal." Ji Haihong said.

"Of course, this time we're not going to meet ordinary people." Conan said.

Mary had plenty of time for them to discuss the matter, but until they got in the car and set off, the two boys were still discussing the meeting and the way forward.

Conan first said: "Let's not tell anyone about this kind of thing, just tell Mr. Pleiades for the time being." ”

"That's what I mean, and now it's certain that Mary is a big family behind her, and she's the head of Sera, which means that Sera's identity is also unusual, and their activities are too obvious to you."

Ji Haihong was right, Conan entered a state of thinking. He always felt that after Sera returned to Japan from the United States, he had been hanging around him, intentionally or unintentionally. Not only that, but she also gave him a lot of hints, or suddenly asked some strange questions, and then kept himself paying attention to her through a ploy to get away with it.

Perhaps, they discovered Ji Haihong's true identity by accident, but in fact, they came for themselves at the beginning?

Why? How could they possibly know who they were?

Conan, who couldn't think of a reason, decided not to think about it anymore, and when he got to the place, he would naturally know everything.

Handing over the car to the doorman, David dutifully walked behind the two children. His upright waist, burly body, and majestic face set off by sunglasses attracted the attention of many people.

Many people speculate that it may be whose bodyguards are protecting these two young masters.

Seeing this strange combination, the waiter in the lobby naturally did not dare to slack off. The smiling waiter told the room number, then gave a good tip, and the waiter politely led them to the meeting place.

"At the door." After Ji Haihong gave an order to David, he and Conan walked into the box.

David closed the door and stood in front of it to observe the situation.

"Welcome, welcome!" Sera led them to the living room, where Mary was sitting on the couch, dressed in homely dress. On the table in front of her were oriental refreshments, and an agarwood emitted a lingering smoke.

Ji Haihong stopped, a little distracted. The scene was almost identical to the one he had when he first met Lady Heloise.

Mary smiled, she knew what Ji Haihong was thinking: "Please sit down, Mr. Ji." ”

"It's a pity that things are not people." Ji Haihong sat on the sofa.

The conversation between the two gives Conan and Sera a sense of history and vicissitudes.

"But we're still going to move forward."

"But Madame is getting younger and younger."

A light-hearted opening remarks set the stage for the talks, and Conan sat down, while Sera sat cross-legged on the couch, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Mary's elegance.

Mary didn't care about Shira, she asked bluntly: "May I ask Edogawa-san, are you the high school detective Kudo Shinichi?" ”

"Yes." Conan replied bluntly, the other party already knew Ji Haihong's identity, and also revealed some of his own information, if he was still secretive at this time, it would seem insincere.

Yes! Hoohoo! Oyey, woo-la-la! Seliang's heart blossomed with joy, and if it weren't for Mary's majesty, she would have begun to cheer regardless of her image.

"Don't get excited, Sera." Mary knew the child very well, and she gave the vaccine first, just in case.

Conan asked: "I heard that Mrs. and Ji Haihong have known each other for a long time, and they have an extraordinary background, I don't know how Mrs. encountered this kind of thing?" You are and ......"

Mary interrupted Conan with a wave of her hand, "Just call me Sister Mary, I'm still quite happy to experience the feeling of being young again." ”

Envy...... Eat one's heart out...... Hate...... Ji Haihong looked at Mary's young face a little depressed, and he didn't understand why he became smaller while Mary became younger. Is it just because Mary is older?

"Okay, Sister Mary, according to my reasoning, you must have encountered this kind of thing after you came to Japan with Sister Sera, right?"

"Can you see?" Mary is intrigued by the detective's reasoning.

"First of all, although Sister Shiliang is a high school student, but after moving to the United States for three years and then returning to Japan, maybe she will not be able to adapt to the environment here, it is a matter of course to have someone to accompany her, even if you don't talk about this, Sister Mary will not dare to expose herself after becoming younger, and she is more eager to find the help of someone she can trust, if this incident happened in the United States, it is impossible for Sister Mary to go to Japan to find Sister Shiliang, not to mention, Sister Mary, who has become younger, may not even be able to apply for a passport, to sum up, Sister Mary must have come to Japan with Sister Sera to do so. ”

"He deserves to be a famous high school student detective." Mary raved about Conan's reasoning.

Conan said, "I can still roughly guess how Sister Mary got smaller. ”

Conan, who had been silently watching, reasoned and said, "Ah, I know this too. ”

"Of course you know, if I hadn't told you, you'd have had the galaxy in your head." It seems that something happened between Mary and Sera after she became younger.

Seliang smiled and stopped talking.

"Sister Mary gets smaller after eating or drinking, right?"

"Huh! How do you know! Shiliang was shocked, "I didn't guess more than 100 cases at the beginning!" ”

Wow, Ji Haihong sighed in his heart, Shiliang really has a big brain.

Mary looked at her speechlessly: "If you can delete the 'reasoning' such as alien invasion of Earth or encounter with fox fairies at that time, maybe you can still get it right." ”

Conan analyzed: "As far as I know, what caused Sister Mary to become younger was a drug called 'APTX4869', which is generally in the shape of a capsule, and is a new type of poison that can cause death in a short time and quickly decompose, so that the forensic doctor cannot detect any toxin in the corpse, so that if someone wants Sister Mary's life, quietly poisoning the food is the best choice, and there can be no 'Sister Mary stunned and then forcibly injected with poison' and the like of history repeating itself." ”

Ji Haihong laughed.

"Don't laugh! You're not like me, and you've been thrown into the sea! "Conan dismantled.

Mary couldn't help but applaud, and she said approvingly, "I have learned Mr. Kudo's abilities." ”

Ji Haihong grasped the key point: "Sister Mary, what is your identity, and what are your particularly outstanding enemies?" ”

"I have some backgrounds in my family, and as for the particularly prominent enemies, there are so few, I'm sorry, until now I don't know who attacked me." Mary said.

"Maybe it's also hired murderers," Ji Haihong speculated, "Maybe the organization has nothing to do with Sister Mary, they just take money to do things." ”

Shiliang asked, "Organization?" What is that? ”

"It was the organization that invented this poison, but they didn't know that this poison had a very small chance of making people 'rejuvenated', this organization has a huge structure, a strict division of labor, and a vicious style, and the FBI, CIA and public security have all targeted this organization and paid a lot of sacrifices." Conan said.

Mary thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Kudo and Mr. Ki should also be involved in the battle against this organization, right?" ”

"Yes, we have made a lot of progress at the moment, and I can't say much more for reasons of secrecy." Conan said.

Ji Haihong asked: "Suppose someone wants to kill Sister Mary and succeeds, who will get the benefit?" What will happen? ”

"Maybe the family industry will be affected."

"What else?" Conan asked, "Ji Haihong told me about the matter between you, and at that time, Sister Mary was in contact with the FBI investigators. ”

Ji Haihong smiled and said, "Sister Mary is still testing our strength? ”

Shiliang was stunned, she looked at Mary, and then at Conan and Ji Haihong, who were confident.

What the? What's what? What were they doing? Tempting the real and the false? Why didn't you see it yourself!

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you," Mary said, "My family is engaged in the intelligence industry, the eldest young master is an FBI investigator, the second young master is currently in Japan, and Seliang is the only ...... in our family."

"Hey!" Ji Haihong suddenly leaned out and pointed at Shiliang, "Don't forget, the original model of the Dodge Tomahawk was chosen for you!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Sera nodded excitedly, "I like that model very much!" And I didn't expect that we would already cross paths at that time. ”

Conan sighed: "The world is really small, if Sister Mary is really doing intelligence, maybe the poisoning thing really has something to do with the Black Clothes Organization, by the way, I have a very good relationship with the FBI now, and I also know James Investigator, I don't know the eldest young master's surname?" Maybe I've seen it too. ”

Both Mary and Sera had sad expressions, which made the two boys feel strange.

Shiliang said: "I came to Japan this time to find my eldest brother, and they all said that my eldest brother died, but I didn't believe it. ”

Conan and Ji Haihong glanced at each other: It can't be such a coincidence, right? I've never heard him say it.

"My eldest brother's name is Shuichi Akai, and he's an FBI investigator."
