[Shinichi's situation is beyond my understanding.]
[It seems that after I left, the people who went to Tropical Land because of contacted the police in advance and sent the unconscious Shinichi to the hospital.]
[Perhaps because Shinichi was comatose, the hospital needed to find his family. So, they used the phone in Shinichi's clothes to contact his parents, even calling back Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko, who were abroad.]
[This is truly a surprise.]
[But what surprised even more was Shinichi's choice.]
[In order to stay, he decided to completely abandon his identity.]
[Honestly, I admire Shinichi's decisiveness.]
[Anyone who has seen Shinichi's condition would know that what he took wasn't poison but rather the intended effect of the drug.]
[The organization really is remarkable, having developed a drug with rejuvenating properties.]
[The concept of "longevity" has always been the ultimate goal for people throughout history.]
[Even with boundless wealth, it all eventually returns to the earth. "Longevity" is the aspiration of all those in power.]
[This holds true for every era and every high-ranking individual.]
Putting down his pen, Ren pondered carefully. It made sense.
In the end, no one could escape the desire for longevity.
"But does this an the research and developnt ability of the organization is strong or weak?"
"They were capable of developing a drug with rejuvenating effects, but after losing the Miyano couple, they seem to have stagnated in terms of progress. Or perhaps the Miyano couple's daughter is the only one capable of continuing their research."
"It's hard to say."
The organization likely has nurous talented personnel.
Particularly in research and developnt, they must have recruited scientists from all over the world.
However, aside from the Miyano couple and their daughter, it seed the organization lacked other researchers capable of developing APTX4869.
Knowing that the Miyano couple's daughter was a rare talent who could further the drug's developnt, they still allowed their top operative to toy with the Miyano sisters.
Clearly, by controlling Miyano Akemi, they could have easily controlled Miyano Shiho. So why did the organization choose such extre asures?
Was it simply to highlight their strict internal rules?
Regardless, Ren felt that the organization's actions were laughable.
The developnt of the drug was clearly their priority, yet the organization's objectives seed to have shifted to stirring up chaos everywhere.
"So, is this just a power grab by Rum to wrest control from Karasuma Renya?"
Ren had no intention of delving too deeply into these mysteries.
He had watched Detective Conan before his reincarnation. Sixteen years had passed since then. Who could rember everything clearly?
Besides, the number of episodes in Detective Conan was longer than his own lifespan. Who could watch all of them and rember every critical plot point?
Right now, his interest lay in whether Kudo would live with the Mouri family in the future.
"Shinichi must have so selfish motives for staying."
"On one hand, it's definitely for Ran."
"How could he give up so easily after harboring a crush for so many years?"
"I'm sure he's worried. Worried that Ran might fall in love with soone else in his absence."
"But abandoning his past identity to stay behind is not a wise decision."
By giving up his identity, he could stay close to Ran in the sa country.
However, being forced to watch from the sidelines without being able to intervene would be far crueler than remaining oblivious.
In the original story, wasn't there a doctor who had deep feelings for Ran?
In a special episode set ten years later, wasn't it hinted that Ran even proposed to him? Tsk, I wonder how things will play out this ti.
This content seed worthy of being recorded in his diary.
But Ren knew he had to wait and see how things unfolded with Ran.
Amamiya Ren was curious, but he also understood that so things shouldn't be written about too extensively.
Especially while he was searching for the other diary owners.
"By the way, are the owners of these diaries always this cautious?"
At that mont, the diary owners whom Ren was muttering about were silently reading the entries in their hands.
"Longevity... that is indeed what every person in power desires to pursue."
Kaguya nodded in agreent with that part of the diary.
Throughout history, countless individuals had sought immortality, yet without exception, they all failed.
"It's astonishing that an assassination organization would actually research such a drug and even achieve so results."
"Hayasaka, if you had the opportunity to obtain longevity, would you pursue it?"
"Yes," Hayasaka replied honestly.
"But more than longevity, I would prefer immortality."
As everyone knows, longevity and immortality are completely different concepts.
Rather than simply living longer, as a girl, what Hayasaka valued more was maintaining her beauty.
"You're really greedy."
Kaguya couldn't help but mock her, though she fully agreed with her sentint.
Compared to longevity, immortality was more aligned with a girl's desires.
She glanced back at Hayasaka Ai.
Dark circles shadowed her eyes, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and her wrists were slightly red and swollen.
"You spent the whole day processing the at?"
"Yes."
"Have you reflected on your actions?"
"...Yes."
"Hmph. Then I'll let your betrayal slide this ti."
The punishnt had been dealt, and Kaguya chose not to pursue Hayasaka's betrayal any further.
That said, Hayasaka hadn't acted on her own initiative. Otherwise, Kaguya wouldn't have let her off so easily.
"Contact Aunt Nao and ask her to co over tonight."
"Yes."
The affairs of the Hayasaka family needed to be addressed.
Kaguya was keeping track of ti and monitoring the state of the Shinomiya family.
Yesterday, Nagi had given her an answer.
In three days, unless the family head changed, the Shinomiya family would be headed for ruin.
Based on her understanding of her eldest brother, he would undoubtedly seek her out.
As for how her eldest brother would know?
Kaguya didn't think her brother was so incompetent that he wouldn't even recognize who was betraying him.
Even if Nagi's behind-the-scenes actions were subtle, they still left clues.
As long as her brother discovered that Sanzenin was involved, wouldn't the woman who had t with Sanzenin yesterday be the obvious answer?
That evening, two cars pulled into Shinomiya Kaguya's mansion.
One belonged to the main family, while the other was from the Hayasaka family.
The people from both cars exited at the sa ti.
"Nao."
"Good evening, Master Oko."
"It seems my little sister is truly taking action now, even going so far as to summon you."
Oko smiled, but in Hayasaka Nao's eyes, that smile was filled with desolation.
