Miyano Shiho… the researcher of APTX, the drug I took.
Miyano Akemi, Shiho's older sister, and the key to the Black Organization's stronghold being raided.
Now these two had seemingly vanished into thin air.
Conan sighed in his heart.
If he could learn the whereabouts of these two, perhaps his antidote wouldn't be without leads.
Of course, such a thought was just a fantasy.
With both the organization researching the drug and the Police searching, they couldn't find the sisters. How could he, alone, possibly run into them?
Thinking of this, Conan stopped dwelling on it and began to organize his belongings in the room.
The trip here was for three days and two nights, covering the entire weekend.
There was no need to think about anything else during this ti. He just needed to solve the mystery of this trip and then spend this weekend happily. Other matters could be put aside until later.
Just as he finished packing, Heiji had already finished his own and even changed clothes.
"Yo, Conan, how do I look?"
He wore a brightly colored short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt with matching shorts.
"Hmm, very Izu-style."
Considering Izu's dayti temperature of nearly 30 degrees Celsius, wearing sumr clothes was normal. Otherwise, heatstroke could easily occur.
Conan had also prepared similar clothes, as he couldn't go three days and two nights without a change.
"I've also made so preparations."
He then took out the clothes he had brought.
An orange shirt paired with black shorts.
"Oh, so you're also planning to go to the beach and have so fun, huh?"
"It's rare to co to the beach. How could I not enjoy it? And after learning the news you gave , I'm even more certain I need to relax. Such a big incident just happened there. It's unrealistic for them to cause an even bigger stir so soon."
"Indeed."
Heiji nodded knowingly.
After the organization was raided and intercepted, they would only beco more low-key in the short term, rather than exposing themselves to the Police's view.
After finishing tidying up, the two left the hotel. Their goal was clear: first, go to the beach to burn off so energy. As for solving the mystery, they could consider it in the evening.
But the mont they walked out of the hotel, Conan's eyes widened.
"Ran…"
His gaze instantly locked onto that girl.
Following his gaze, Heiji also saw the boy standing next to Ran, and Sonoko holding that boy's hand.
In just a mont, Conan realized why they were in Izu.
"Miss Mouri."
Heiji had also noticed them. Of course, he knew Ran.
When he was looking for Kudo, he had found the Mouri family. It was from there that he officially t Conan and learned about his hidden secret.
At the sa ti, he noticed the boy walking next to Ran.
"Speaking of which, you and Ran are childhood sweethearts, aren't you? Now that your identity is completely gone, that's probably not possible anymore, right?"
Although the words were discouraging, Heiji felt Conan still needed to be realistic.
"Yes, I know."
Clenching his fists, Conan quickly cald himself down.
"I am now a deceased person. I know my place. I've already troubled Uncle Mouri, and I really don't have the face to continue having such thoughts about Ran."
"And…"
Thinking of Ran's reaction when she learned of his death, Conan felt a little sad.
Because she didn't want to recall his death, she couldn't accept his staying, and could only choose to move out.
Ran had recently begun to gradually accept him, but Conan also knew that this was a sign she was beginning to accept his death.
He didn't want Shinichi to disappear from Ran's heart.
But he couldn't make such a demand of her, because Shinichi's death was his own decision.
He couldn't ask Ran to always love soone who was already dead.
"Kudo Shinichi is dead. That's a fact."
Heiji couldn't see Conan's face at this mont, but he knew this was a very difficult thing to accept.
He didn't continue speaking on this issue. One reminder was enough.
"By the way, who's that guy next to her?"
Heiji's gaze focused on the boy walking beside Ran.
"Hm? Oh, him, he's Sonoko's boyfriend. I guess Ran was probably dragged along by Sonoko. As for the reason, it's probably because Sonoko noticed Ran wasn't in a good mood, so she brought her out to travel."
Conan had investigated Ren out of personal curiosity and knew he was Sonoko's current boyfriend.
And Conan had also noticed that Sonoko's hand was still holding his.
"So, should we go over?"
Heiji left the decision to Conan.
Conan watched Ran, who was smiling, for a mont, then slowly shook his head.
"No. Sonoko brought Ran out to relax, and if I go over, it'll remind her of this face, and her happy mood will be ruined."
He really wanted to go over, but considering his face, he couldn't bring himself to.
He could feel that Ran hadn't completely moved on. If he went over now, her mood probably wouldn't improve.
"Since you've decided that, let's go."
Heiji glanced at Ran's side, sighed, and still acted according to Conan's opinion.
He also understood that the only remaining connection between Conan and Ran was very little, and forcing a eting now would only be bad for everyone.
Even if Conan had a chance to return to his high school self in the future, that would only happen after the organization was completely destroyed.
But at that ti, could Ran really wait?
Heiji wasn't looking down on Ran, but the current fact was that Kudo Shinichi was dead.
Given that Ran had already acknowledged this fact, it was likely that by the ti the organization was destroyed, even if Conan returned to his original state, there would probably already be another man by her side.
