Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 649: He is a child



Everyone is walking in the corridor, and now they are going for a physical examination.

Conan stared at John Floyd's back.

Suddenly Conan shouted loudly and ran forward.

Then the soles of Conan's feet 'slipped' and he fell directly to the ground.

John Floyd's bodyguard dutifully stopped in front of him: "Danger!"

"It's just a kid, no problem."

John Floyd walked up to Conan and stretched out his hand: "Kid, are you okay?"

"Well, since it was downhill, I couldn't help but start running."

Conan took John Floyd's hand and stood up. In the process of standing up, Conan extremely dishonestly placed a bug on John Floyd's body.

This small move was seen by Haihara Ai and Kamiya Jieyue.

John Floyd asked: "Are you not injured?"

"Well, uncle, you speak Japanese very well!"

"Ah, I've been in Japan for a long time."

"So this is ah..."

Before Conan could say the next words, he was suddenly mentioned.

The one carrying Conan is of course Mouri Kogoro.

"You little brat! Didn't the school teacher teach you not to run around in the corridors?"

Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and said to John Foid in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this is the child of an acquaintance of mine."

Maori Kogoro looked at Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, watch him closely!"

Maori Kogoro dumped Conan to Maori Lan.

While Conan was still in the air, Kamiya Minatsuki quickly took action and slapped Conan on the butt.

"Ouch!"

Conan screamed and fell into Mao Lilan's arms.

Everyone was extremely ashamed. Listening to the sound of the slap on the butt, it seemed that it was not light.

Conan was in Mao Lilan's arms, covering his butt and staring at Kamiya Minayuki resentfully.

Kamiya Minatsuki blew his palms, looked at Conan sideways and said, "If the kid disobeys, you will be beaten."

Mao Lilan placed Conan next to Haihara Ai and asked awkwardly: "I said, Conan is so capable, he should be able to go back with Xiao Ai now, right?"

Conan pretended to be gentle and said: "Hey! No way! I'm just a child!"

Mao Lilan looked at Haiyuan Ai: "Then Xiao Ai should be able to go back on her own, right?"

"I won't go back either." Hui Yuan Ai flipped up his hair at the temples and said with a sinister tone: "After all, I am still a child."

Mao Lilan's eyes turned into pea eyes.

Conan also looked speechless.

Hui Yuan Ai urged: "Let's go quickly, we are all at the back of the team."

Mao Lilan and Haibara Ai walked forward. Conan's cell phone suddenly received a call. When he opened it, it showed 'Okiya Subaru'.

Akai Shuichi stood in front of a vending machine while buying canned coffee and said: "I just arrived at Nagoya International Airport. Boy, there is something I want to ask you to help me with."

Akai Shuichi told Conan what he wanted Conan to help.

Conan nodded and said: "I know. When it comes to a last resort, I will give it a try."

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Haihara Ai asked, standing in front of Conan.

"It's Yuanta. He said the Superman show was very exciting."

Haibara Ai didn't know that the FBI where Akai Shuichi worked was involved in this incident, and Akai Shuichi didn't want Haibara Ai to know and worry.

"Really? I'm just waiting for you."

"I'll be there right away, you guys go first."

"Be careful not to get lost. Hurry up and follow everyone."

After Haihara Ai turned around and left, Conan put the phone to his ear again: "Hey."

Akai Shuichi asked: "Are you okay?"

Conan replied: "Well, it's okay. By the way, have you investigated your matter?"

"Ah, according to the FBI report, Ishihara Makoto died after being put in prison."

"Eh? Ishihara Makoto has always refused to plead guilty, right?"

"According to the then-FBI director's memoir, he always maintained his innocence."

"The director of the FBI at the time was..."

Conan and Akai Shuichi said in unison: "President Alan."

Conan asked: "How likely is it that Ishihara Makoto will be wrongly accused?"

Akai Shuichi said solemnly: "I would rather believe that it is impossible. Besides, after Ishihara Makoto died, he left behind a wife and daughter."

Conan asked in surprise: "Does he still have family?"

Shuichi Akai recounted: "After Ishihara Makoto died in prison, his wife and daughter returned to Japan."

Shuichi Akai told Conan the two names.

Conan wrote down the names and said, "I know. I'm going to check the list of participants. My uncle should have it."

Akai Shuichi said again: "One more thing, Conan, I hope you can keep an eye on Kamiya. If he disappears, you must tell me immediately."

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched. Sure enough, Akai Shuichi was also worried that Kamiya Minatsuki, a troublemaker, would mess up.

After hanging up the phone, Conan quietly came behind Mouri Kogoro.

Conan's top pickpocket got up and quickly took out the list from Kogoro Mouri's pocket.

Conan compared the names on the list one by one, and then dialed Akai Shuichi's number.

Akai Shuichi asked: "How is it?"

Conan said: "They are not in the list."

Akai Shuichi was not surprised by this answer: "Really? Then they may have changed their names according to the witness protection program."

Conan was surprised: "Ishihara Makoto is a prisoner, right? How could his family become eligible for the witness protection program?"

Akai Shuichi explained: "As long as there is a possibility of being attacked by an accomplice, anyone can become a target. On the condition of ensuring personal safety, the other party is forced to cooperate with the investigation. This is the so-called judicial transaction."

Behind Akai Shuichi's car, Akai Mari, wearing a helmet, was eavesdropping on Akai Shuichi's voice.

Conan asked: "Can you find out whether Ishihara Makoto's wife and daughter have become protection targets?"

Akai Shuichi took out his laptop: "If the program is executed by the FBI, I can find it quickly, but if it is executed by the U.S. Marshals Service, it will take a while."

Conan asked in confusion: "Why?"

Akai Shuichi smiled: "Because the relationship between the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service is not very good."

Conan laughed dryly and said: "There is another thing. By the way, if you change your name because of the witness protection program, can you change it according to your own preferences?"

Akai Shuichi replied: "No."

Conan confirmed: "Is it completely impossible?"

Shuichi Akai said: "Unless it is certain that the pseudonym will not remind people of the original name, then it is still possible."

"That's it, I understand."

Conan hung up the phone and followed Mao Lilan toward the flow of people.
