Chapter 86 Growing Grass
"Ryuzawa?" Conan blurted out.
"Oh, what a coincidence! It's Conan and Ai." Bai Yexiu waved to them enthusiastically.
From another direction, Pisco naturally noticed the small theater as well, but what attracted his attention even more was the little girl with brown hair—
Why does this girl look exactly like Sherry when she was a child?
He was a long-time member of the organization and had seen Shirley a few times when she was a child, so he remembered what she looked like as a child.
Pisco's eyes narrowed slightly, and one of his hands, tucked into his pocket, seemed ready to pounce.
Just in case of unforeseen circumstances, he brought a bottle of anesthetic with him for today's assassination. It seems he'll have to steal the credit right in front of Jundu today—Jundu doesn't seem to recognize Sherry at all, so don't blame him for striking first!
Pisco wore a kind smile on his face, but inwardly he was already grinning savagely.
This was exactly the effect Bai Yexiu wanted, but Pisco's gaze at Sherry felt like he was trying to see right through her—it was far too obvious.
Seeing Sherry trembling behind Conan, Bai Yexiu shook his head helplessly and, for some unknown reason, reached out and ruffled Sherry's hair: "Is Ai not feeling well?"
This head pat was terrifying for Ai Haibara, making the hairs on her body stand on end.
Conan noticed that something was wrong with Ai Haibara, and quickly and subtly squeezed her arm, his expression both puzzled and concerned.
He had noticed Ai Haibara's strange behavior when facing Ryuzawa many times. If Ryuzawa was really a member of the organization, he would have died countless times by now. He couldn't imagine that Ryuzawa was a member of the organization as Ai Haibara sensed.
Seeing Ai Haibara's strange reaction, Conan's eyes darkened—
Haibara's reaction was definitely not unfounded. He could believe it was just his intuition when it happened before, but the fact that it happened again this time made him wary.
While Conan was still thinking, he felt a hand grab his arm. He looked up and saw Ai Haibara with a complicated expression on her face.
Then, under Byakuya's questioning gaze, Conan was pulled away by Ai Haibara.
"Where are we going?" Conan asked, puzzled.
"Of course we should escape. If we stay here, we'll not only waste time, but we'll also be in danger. Besides, if Inspector Megure finds us, what reason do you plan to give them for explaining why we're here? Right now, the only clue is the piece of the ring you just picked up, and you can't find the killer with just that..."
Conan didn't have the patience to listen to her long-winded explanation. He moved her hand away and confidently began to state the clues he had obtained, then successfully persuaded Ai Haibara.
After successfully slipping out of the venue and arriving at the counter, Conan used a series of persuasive tactics to obtain a crucial clue—a list of people who possessed the purple handkerchief.
The purple handkerchief that fell during the shooting could narrow down the search area to a few or a dozen.
The name "Ryuzawa Iroha" on the list immediately set off alarm bells in Conan's mind.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
……
On the other side, as he brushed past Pisco, Bai Yeshu slipped a purple handkerchief, one of the gifts from the event, into his pocket.
He tricked the cashier into giving him two coins when he arrived, just so he could make a certificate for Pisco. Knowing Conan's nature, he would definitely notify the police to investigate their handkerchiefs.
After all, if Pix wanted to fire a gun in the dark without flashing a light, and it would be difficult to trace the source afterward, he would have no choice but to use the handkerchiefs provided at the venue.
A few minutes later, under pressure, the police had no choice but to release the people. People inside the venue rushed out, and chaos ensued both inside and outside the venue.
Before he could even sit back down in his corner, Bai Yexiu was shoved out of the venue by the commotion. And as he expected, Bai Yexiu, with the purple handkerchief, was stopped at the door.
Several other people were also stopped, including Vermouth—it's obvious this was Conan's doing.
……
It was unclear how much time had passed before they finally finished giving their statements. Meanwhile, Pisko, the first to finish, had already run off.
While recalling where the plot was in his mind, Bai Yexiu pondered how to stop Gin from shooting Pisco.
Pisco is the only person in the organization (excluding the dead) who saw Sherry as a child, so it might be more convincing if he were to tell this incredible story.
After all, those high-and-mighty, glib old guys wouldn't doubt a hardworking member who has worked diligently for over 30 years and is only a few years younger than them.
Although Bai Yexiu was a relative and had a close, father-son-like relationship with the boss, he still sometimes faced attacks from the old guys. After all, besides Rum, the boss was always surrounded by those old men.
……
"I missed you so much, Sherry~"
"Look at that, it's so beautiful—snowflakes dancing in the wind in the darkness, adorned with drops of blood..."
"..."
Bai Yexiu said that as soon as he arrived on the rooftop, he heard Gin's "artsy" and "obsessive" remarks, which made him feel a little ridiculous.
Moreover, Gin seemed so focused on looking at Sherry that he didn't notice him at all, and neither did Sherry...
Bai Yexiu, whose presence was practically nonexistent, quietly left this place of trouble.
He should go find Pisco first, and not listen to Gin composing poetry here for the time being.
