Chapter 292: Relatives Appearing Out of Nowhere
Mary Akai stared into Makino’s eyes with a very serious expression.

She had already investigated Makino carefully and thought she had basically figured out his background.

Although she couldn’t be sure whether Ryuichi Makino had any connection with the “Public Security”, she was certain that Ryuichi Makino was indeed the most worthy partner for them at the moment.

In addition, she also had the useful information that “Kudo Shinichi is Conan”… Therefore, she finally made up her mind to let her daughter call Makino to the hotel, tell him the information in person, and seek cooperation and antidote.

She had even anticipated several possible reactions of Makino after he learned the information.

but……

After a long silence, Akai Mary slowly spoke: “Makino Ryuichi, who are you?”

Not to mention intelligence organizations such as the FBI, CIA and the Public Security Bureau, even in MI6, few people know her real name.

Not to mention that she has become “like this” now. Even for people who are already familiar with her, when they see her, it would be difficult for them to say her name as confidently as Officer Makino.

Obviously, Officer Makino already knew the “secrets” between her and Masumi Sera.

This feeling of being seen through by the other party for no apparent reason is extremely uncomfortable, especially for her as a former MI6 member.

Makino resisted the urge to say that he was “just a passer-by” and spoke slowly: “Ms. Akai, since you know that I was once assassinated by the Black Organization, it means that you have already investigated me carefully. With MI6’s intelligence gathering capabilities… you should know who I am better than I do, right?”

Akai Mary: “…”

After hearing Makino accurately describe her relationship with MI6, Akai Mari’s expression became more serious than before.

“This is a terrible situation…”

Not only did she fail to use the intelligence in her hands to disrupt the other party’s thoughts and reach cooperation with the other party, but she was even easily exposed by the other party about her true identity and secrets.

At this moment, the long-lost feeling called “fear” suddenly emerged in Akai Mary’s heart.

Seeing that Akai Mary’s expression became more and more solemn, and her body was also slightly “tense”, Makino waved his hand casually: “Don’t be so nervous, I don’t want to fight with you here~”

At this point, Makino turned around and glanced at Sera Masumi who was still in a “dazed” state, and chuckled, “Although I want to be as humble as possible, even if the two of you come together, the ending will not change. What’s more, Sera Masumi is also my friend. Instead of a meaningless fight, why not talk about the cooperation you mentioned before~”

Akai Mary glanced at Sera Masumi beside her, slowly closed her eyes, and sighed: “Officer Makino, you are more terrifying than I thought. You are worthy of being someone who can survive the assassination of that organization.”

Makino chuckled and shook his head: “Well, instead of talking nonsense like this, how about we just get straight to the point like you said before?
Let me talk about the antidote first. I do have the antidote, but it is not a real antidote. After the effect of the drug wears off, you will return to this body. And that drug is a cell-related drug after all, so the risks are self-evident.

Even if the Kudo Shinichi you mentioned did not get hurt after taking that medicine, it does not mean that you can be as lucky as him. Maybe the antidote is a deadly poison to you. “

Hearing this, Akai Mary looked at Makino deeply with a frown on her face.

Although she had considered this situation before, it was different from hearing it with her own ears.

If that wasn’t the antidote that could permanently restore her body, then there was really no need for her to risk her life and try it.

However, considering that they may have a head-on conflict with the Black Organization someday in the future, their chances of survival will be increased, even if they can only return to their original bodies for a short time.

Thinking of this, Akai Mari nodded slightly: “Even if that’s the case, I still want the antidote.”

Makino nodded and said, “Since you have thought it through, I can provide you with a few antidotes for their sake.”

“They?” Akai Mary immediately noticed Makino’s choice of words.

Masumi Sera on the side didn’t think much about it. She just thought that the “they” Makino mentioned referred to herself, Xiaolan, Sonoko and others.

Makino did not explain the specific meaning of the title “they”, and a meaningless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: “Since it is a cooperation, then you should also pay something in return, right? Otherwise, it is not a cooperation, right~”

Akai Mary: “…”

After a moment of silence, Akai Mary sighed softly: “I understand, what is your request?”

Makino chuckled and nodded: “It’s not a troublesome request. I just want to discuss with you about the intelligence of the Black Organization, and at most ask you to help me investigate something~”

“…”

After half an hour.

Makino slowly stood up from the sofa, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and chuckled, “Okay, I’ve stayed long enough. Ms. Sera, Ms. Akai, I’ll take my leave now~ As for the antidote, I’ll ask Sera Masumi to bring it back for you next time~”

The next second, Makino was ready to leave the living room accompanied by Sera Masumi.

Before leaving the living room, Makino turned his head to look at Akai Mari behind him, and said casually: “Come to think of it, your family and I seem to have a good relationship~”

After saying this, Makino completely walked out of the room under Sera Masumi’s puzzled expression.

After Makino left, Sera Masumi immediately returned to the living room and walked quickly to her mother’s side with a complicated expression.

Mary Akai didn’t pay any attention to Masumi Sera beside her, but stared straight ahead with a frown.

Although today was her first meeting with Officer Makino, and the total time they met and chatted was less than an hour, she had a very deep impression of Makino.

It is no exaggeration to say that although they had only met for such a short time, this Makino Ryuichi had already become the person who left the deepest impression on her mind.

From the beginning to the end, I was following the other party’s rhythm.

This is the first time this has happened.

Although Officer Makino never mentioned any content or intelligence information about her and the “Akai family” during the subsequent conversation, Akai Mary always had the feeling that the other party knew everything about her and others.

Especially the “they” he mentioned before and the words he said before leaving…

For some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be important information and intelligence in it that she could not understand.

Seeing that his mother had been staring at the living room door without any other reaction or movement, Sera Masumi beside him could only call out, “Mom, Mom?”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Majun?” Mary Akai, whose thoughts were interrupted by Sera Majun’s call, blinked and looked up at her daughter beside her.

“Mom, what were you thinking about just now? Why didn’t you react?” Sera Masumi frowned.

Akai Mary exhaled lightly and shook her head slowly, saying, “I can’t see this person clearly. He seems to have more mysteries and secrets than that organization. I don’t know whether my choice is right or wrong…”

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Sera Masumi’s lips and she nodded, “Although Makino-san is indeed scary, I think he is a good person. At least I believe in him~” “Good person?” Akai Mary looked at her daughter in surprise and sighed helplessly.

Coming from an intelligence organization, she naturally knew that there was no such thing as “good people and bad people” in the world, but this was the first time she heard such words from her daughter.

Although my daughter is indeed a bit optimistic and reckless, her observation and judgment are not inferior to mine.

The fact that his daughter could say such things also proves how “terrible” this Makino Ryuichi is.

Deep down, Akai Mary could more or less understand why her daughter had such thoughts.

From the moment Officer Makino entered the room, she had been observing his every move.

Although the opponent seemed to be full of flaws, it seemed that no matter how she attacked, she could easily subdue him.

But deep down in her heart, there was a voice that kept telling her – don’t do this, or you will die.

She has faced countless life-and-death crises in her life and has long since developed the so-called “crisis intuition.” Although her body has become smaller, this “ability” has not declined.

Rather, because her body had become smaller, her mind had been in a state of high tension for a long time, and her physical senses and intuition about crises seemed to be stronger than before.

Based on her intuition, this Makino Ryuichi is undoubtedly the most dangerous and mentally stressful person she has ever met, no doubt about it.

After thinking for a moment, Akai Mari looked up at her daughter again and asked, “By the way, Masumi, I remember you said he also knows Jeet Kune Do, right?”

“That’s right! Although I don’t want to admit it, I think his Jeet Kune Do level is probably better than Brother Xiu.” Sera Masumi nodded seriously.

Akai Mary murmured: “Really? Maybe he and Shuichi have met before…”

“Mom, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“No, it’s nothing. Let’s talk about it after he gives you the antidote. It seems that things are going to get uneasy here soon. We must be more careful than ever.”

……

Outside the Qiya Luxury Hotel.

After getting in the car, Makino glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and sent a text message to the Haibara sisters, saying that he would come over soon.

After putting away his phone, Makino contacted Bane in his mind and put Akai Mary and Sera Masumi on the light to moderate monitoring list.

Although Mary Akai did not say it explicitly just now, Makino is now certain that, like the FBI, MI6, as a veteran intelligence organization, actually also possesses detailed intelligence on the locations of many wineries’ bases in London and other regions and some of the organization’s personnel.

For him, that was enough.

With Bane and the Sky Eye Intelligence System, he actually no longer needs to cooperate with any person or organization.

Makino already had a general idea… The next organizations he needed to cooperate with were the FBI, the Public Security Bureau, MI6 and other intelligence organizations.

The reason why he accepted the “cooperation” proposed by Akai Mari was, on the one hand, to obtain information from Akai Mari and confirm the next action plan.

On the other hand, it is to give some respect to the “Akai family”.

From what we know, although the Akai family is not a wealthy family, their importance in the world of science cannot be underestimated.

MI6, FBI, the winery, the Miyano family, the Haneda family… this family has more connections with the winery than any other family.

Just like the relationship between Conan and the case, the Akai family also has a similar relationship with the winery.

……

Half an hour later, at Huihara’s house.

After receiving the message from Makino, Haibara Ai and Haibara Yuki interrupted what they were doing in advance, sat on the sofa with serious expressions, and waited quietly for Makino’s arrival.

This was the first time that Makino sent text messages to both of them at the same time before coming, and expressed his desire to chat with both of them at the same time.

Therefore, unlike the usual cheerful atmosphere, the mood in the room was unusually serious.

——“Dong Dong”

After hearing the knock on the door, Haibara Ai and her friend immediately got up and walked to the door to open it for Makino.

After seeing the extremely solemn expressions on the faces of the two sisters, Makino blinked in confusion, then immediately chuckled and said, “Don’t be so nervous, nothing bad happened, it’s just that the news I’m going to tell you is related to you all, so I sent you that text message.”

Hearing this, the Haibara sisters looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

“So that’s how it is, Mr. Makino. I was really scared~”

“Really? I thought the organization had discovered what happened between me and my sister…”

When they received the text message from Makino, they thought something bad had happened, such as the organization learned that they were not dead.

After simply comforting the two, Makino sat down opposite the Haibara sisters on the sofa and briefly told them about Akai Mary.

After hearing what Makino said, the Haibara sisters showed complicated expressions on their faces, with a hint of joy and a hint of confusion.

Especially Haibara Ai, she never thought that she would suddenly have several relatives whom she had never met.

After recalling for a while, Huiyuan Xing slowly said: “Come to think of it, I did hear my mother say that she had an older sister. But she seemed to have always lived abroad, so I have never met this aunt.”

Makino shook his head and said, “I just met this Akai Mary, so I wanted to tell you about her. Don’t feel any psychological pressure. I didn’t tell her about you. After everything is over, you can consider whether to contact her. The situation of the Akai family is more complicated than yours, and besides…”

Having said that, Makino looked at Huihara Yuki, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After noticing Makino’s gaze, Haibara Ai suddenly thought of something and looked at her sister with a look of astonishment.

and many more? !
If I remember correctly, the person my sister mentioned before seemed to be… Akai Shuichi? !
After seeing the gazes of the two, Huiyuan Xing smiled and shook her head, then looked down at Huiyuan Ai beside her: “It doesn’t matter, that’s a thing of the past. Now I’m already very happy to be able to live with my sister~”

Upon hearing this, Haibara Ai immediately hugged her sister, expressing with her actions what she wanted to say.
