Although it was a lie to say he wasn't scared with a pistol pointed at his forehead, Conan couldn't just surrender like that. He had to do something to escape his current predicament.
So Conan pretended to be scared by the gun in Edogawa Fumiyo's hand. Taking advantage of the moment Edogawa Fumiyo suddenly relaxed, Conan pushed away the gun in her hand, stepped on the car's accelerator, and the car immediately plunged into the oncoming traffic.
"Oh my God!"
"Obasan! Get out of the way!!"
"Pigsy! Can you even drive?!!"
Edogawa Fumiyo quickly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car. But the scene was already in chaos, with other drivers continuously denouncing her.
"Tsk! Brat!! Hmm!?" Edogawa Fumiyo turned towards Conan's direction, only to find that Conan had already taken advantage of the previous commotion to open the car door and escape. She looked with a terrifying expression in the direction Conan had fled.
Conan, having run into a residential area, quickly took out his phone to call Yuu, but the message "The user you have dialed is currently unavailable!" from his phone made Conan anxious. "Why!? Do they know my true identity!?
Did I expose myself by using Shinichi Kudo's name during the last karaoke incident? It must be that, otherwise, how would they know I'm still alive! But I clearly told Inspector Megure to keep it a secret for me!
Hahahaha, I'm such an arrogant idiot! Now what should I do? The call won't go through, so I'll go to Professor Agasa's house!" Thinking this, Conan tightened his clothes and walked towards Professor Agasa's house in the heavy snow.
"Damn it, why aren't Yuu, Professor, and Ai at home! Where would they go in this snowy weather!" Conan, hiding near Professor Agasa's house, waited anxiously.
"Ah! Great, they're finally back!!" Suddenly, Conan saw Professor Agasa and Ai walking over from a distance, carrying things and holding an umbrella.
"Hmm!?" Conan was about to go up and greet them when he suddenly felt someone cover his nose and mouth from behind with a cloth. Conan immediately lost consciousness and fell into the snow.
Looking at the fallen Conan, Yuu said helplessly, "Shinichi! Don't blame me, I'm just listening to your father!"
Yuu took Conan to an abandoned two-story house and then left. Next was Yusaku and Yukiko's performance time.
"Ah!" Not long after, Conan woke up. "Why am I here? It seems like the kitchen..." Thinking this, Conan struggled to stand up. "My head hurts! Damn it! What kind of knockout drug did they use on me?"
After laboriously jumping onto the sink, Conan looked out through the window beside the sink. "It's the second floor? So they brought me to the second floor of this house while I was unconscious."
"What? You haven't killed him yet!?" A man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Conan jumped down from the sink and quietly walked to the door, peering through a small hole in the door.
"Don't force me! It clearly says above that he cannot be killed," Edogawa Fumiyo said loudly to a man in black. "No matter what, he's a special case who took the drug and developed side effects, so he must be brought back to the organization for examination!!"
"It's that woman from before. Who's that man?" Thinking this, Conan saw the man suddenly turn his head towards him. The man's face wore a terrifying mask. Conan immediately rushed back to his original spot, pretending to still be unconscious.
"Is that brat awake?" Edogawa Fumiyo asked as she saw the masked man walk towards the kitchen.
The masked man shook his head. "Not yet. I think the drug is still working. That brat is sleeping soundly."
Conan, hiding under the kitchen, didn't dare to move again. He lay on the ground, listening to their conversation until late into the night.
Conan secretly watched the two through a hole in the door. "Great, they're both asleep. I need to untie myself first." Conan, using a shard of a wine bottle to cut the ropes, discovered a small space under the floorboards, just big enough for him to hide in.
"Damn it, they said they'd use ATPX4689 in tomorrow's one o'clock transaction. I must stop them!" Thinking this, Conan fell asleep.
The next morning.
"What!? That brat is gone!!" The masked man was startled when he heard Edogawa Fumiyo's words.
Edogawa Fumiyo explained, "He was gone when I woke up. He must have escaped through the window."
The masked man walked to the window and looked down, finding nothing on the ground. He said to Edogawa Fumiyo, "He must still be in here."
"Oh no!!" Conan, hiding under the kitchen floor, felt his heart tighten.
"..." The masked man searched the entire kitchen but found no trace of Conan.
Edogawa Fumiyo mocked, "I told you he escaped!"
"Hmph, anyway, he has nowhere to go. After today's transaction, we'll find that brat and teach him a good lesson." Then the masked man took Edogawa Fumiyo and left the house.
