I don't know what title to give Chapter 62.
Inside the room, the group of counterfeiters had taken hostages and controlled several children. Outside the door, Conan picked up the pistol that originally belonged to the man and planned to join forces with Byakuya to take action when the opportunity arose.
"Longze, what are we going to do later... eh?"
When Conan turned around, he found himself all alone; Bai Yexiu had left sometime earlier.
Where did this guy go...?
Conan looked around and, finding no sign of Byakuya Xiu, decided to change his plans and sneak in alone.
……
Inside the room, a woman dressed in black held a pistol to Ayumi's head. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a loud crash of shattering glass filled the room—a baseball bat had smashed the window of the adjacent room and was flying at high speed towards the woman, carrying shards of glass.
At the same time, the room door, which had been tightly closed, was suddenly half-open, and a dark object flew towards the woman.
The woman was first struck by a dark object that knocked the gun from her hand, followed by a baseball bat that flew through the air and slammed into her lower back. She cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
What happened??
The woman, who had been sandwiched between two cheese buns, sat on the ground in a daze, when she heard a sneer behind her.
She turned around and saw a boy push open the window next door and climb over the wall into the room next door.
The two men who were with the woman saw that things were going badly and were about to help when they were knocked unconscious by paint kicked by Conan.
In an instant, the situation on the scene took a 180-degree turn.
Startled, the woman quickly realized what was happening and tried to pick up the gun from the ground to take the little girl in front of her hostage, but the little girl with brown hair picked up the gun first and slowly pointed it at her.
But before the little girl could make a move, Bai Yexiu, who had already picked up the stick, slowly walked behind the woman and suddenly struck her with it.
"..."
Conan, who was not far away, twitched his lips—Ryuzawa's blow with the stick seemed to be related to some personal grudge.
The woman was struck hard on the back of the head and collapsed to the ground with a thud. The three children in the room were stunned for a moment, then cheered.
The farce ended quickly. Within a minute, all three counterfeiters were knocked unconscious.
"Children shouldn't handle such dangerous things." Bai Yexiu smiled at the short-haired little girl who was standing there in a daze, and took the gun from her hand.
At that moment, Inspector Megure led a group of police officers and broke down the door, only to be stunned by what he saw.
There were four children and a high school student gathered together. One child was standing in the doorway, another little girl was holding a gun, and a boy with a baseball bat was smiling and talking to each other before taking the gun from the little girl. Besides them, two men and a woman lay on the ground.
"Hey, you two! How can kids handle such dangerous things?!" Inspector Megure jogged over and unleashed a torrent of abuse.
……
After everyone finished giving their statements, the little girl—Sherry—was kept behind by Inspector Megure for a verbal lecture along with Shirayuki. However, Sherry's acting skills kicked in midway through, allowing her to escape unscathed.
But Bai Yexiu wasn't so lucky; he had no choice but to stand there obediently and endure Inspector Megure's lecture.
Sherry, pretending to sob, glanced at Bai Yexiu from afar, her eyes revealing a variety of indescribable emotions.
She could sense the organization's aura emanating from this person. Was it a mistake for him to come looking for Shinichi Kudo? Had Shinichi already been targeted? Given the organization's modus operandi, if he were being watched, shouldn't Shinichi be...?
……
A few minutes later, Byakuya, carrying a baseball bat, came out and met up with Conan.
Bai Yexiu shrugged helplessly: "Really, I was just worried that kids would play with the guns. Speaking of which..." Bai Yexiu's gaze fell on the short-haired little girl.
"What's her name? Is she your new classmate?"
The three Teitan kids immediately exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! His name is Ai Haibara, and he just transferred to our class today!"
"Haibara-san is now a member of our Junior Detective League!"
"..."
Bai Yuexiu listened patiently to their cacophony of answers, then smiled and patted Ai Haibara's head: "Can I call you Ai-chan?"
Although it was just a very affectionate head pat, Shirley, who was very sensitive to the organization and was currently on the run, seemed to have been struck by lightning. She stood there stunned, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The other children also noticed that something was wrong with Ai Haibara and asked with concern, "Haibara-san, are you feeling unwell?"
Based on Bai Yexiu's initial observations of Ai Haibara, he guessed that Ai Haibara could detect the presence of organization members to a certain extent, which he called "mobile organization member sensing radar."
She's currently on the run, so it's normal for her to be afraid and tremble when she senses him as a member of the organization.
Wouldn't that make it even more fun?
Bai Yexiu squatted down and said, "Do you need me to take Xiao Ai to the hospital to get her checked out?"
At this moment, Ai Haibara was speechless, but before she could react, a six-year-old boy with obviously red eyes ran over, grabbed Byakuya Xiu, and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah... Big brother, give me back my baseball bat..."
"Huh...?" Bai Yexiu was stunned for a moment, looking at the baseball bat he was holding.
Oh right, I almost forgot, when he came he "borrowed" a baseball bat from a little boy on the side of the road.
Seeing the little boy crying louder and louder, Bai Yexiu quickly shoved the baseball bat into his hand: "Hey, hey, don't cry. Look, your brother is giving the bat back to you, isn't he? I kept my word..."
Conan watched as Bai Yexiu frantically tried to soothe the child, and his lips twitched—"I knew it! Where did you find that baseball bat?"
