Dr. Agasa's home.

Conan was sitting on the sofa and his eyes were vacant and motionless, while Yukiko beside him continued to playfully tease him.

She kept placing different photos in front of Conan, saying things like "Shin-chan kawaii~~".

Under Yukiko's continuous "public execution", Conan had thought about resisting, but unfortunately, he was just a kid right now, and Yukiko easily overpowered him with just one hand.

Under the continuous "public execution", Conan's sense of shame has completely numbed at this moment.

He was completely being played by Yukiko.

"Alright, alright~ It's time for dinner~" Miyano Akemi came out of the kitchen with dishes and shouted to everyone with a smile..

"Hey~ Let's go, time to eat." Yukiko pated Conan's head.

"Hmph..." Conan came to his senses and gave his own mother a fierce glare, then coldly got off the sofa and headed to the dining table.

Though Conan tried to maintain his composure, having just faced "public execution", he was still sensitive to the gazes of others, feeling like everyone around has some sort of playful look.

"Mrs. Kudo, besides solving Mr. Fujieda's request this time, do you have any other plans?"

It seemed that Senichi was taking care of Conan's "fragile, tiny, and helpless" heart, and casually brought up a topic to ease some of Conan's embarrassment.

But in reality, this small talk is just to inquire about her future plans and smoothly integrate into them, as Senichi hasn't forgotten his purpose.

"Well... besides checking in on Shin-chan, there doesn't seem to be anything else."

Yukiko thought for a moment then looked at Conan, saying, "Oh, by the way, tomorrow, gather your little friends, I'll take you all to a nice place."

"A nice place?" Hearing his own mother's words, Conan expressed doubt with dead fish eyes, "It's not some weird place again, is it?"

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, after all, your little friends will be there too." Yukiko smiled reassuringly, "I promise it'll be a place you all will be satisfied with."

Hearing Yukiko's words, Senichi's expression froze slightly, unexpectedly, the topic he led into has failed.

Generally speaking, after Senichi casually inquires about the schedule, the person being asked would reveal their upcoming plans, and then Senichi would smoothly propose to join the activity, thereby smoothly integrating into the case.

Although sometimes the plans may seem a bit odd for adults to join, most of the time, it's enough to offer to supervise the kids, and it can be sorted out.

Sometimes, you can also join in based on interest.

However, this time, Senichi's usual method backfired.

After casually bringing up the topic, Yukiko didn't directly reveal any information but instead mentioned taking Conan and a few others to a fun place in an inquiring manner.

It became a bit awkward because Senichi couldn't continue questioning further since she had already decided to keep it secret from her son. Persisting would seem out of sync with the atmosphere and could attract unwanted attention and confusion.

At this point, the plan to smoothly integrate into the case by following the topic's flow has failed, leaving Senichi somewhat frustrated.

Usually, this tactic works like a charm, but unfortunately, this time, it failed due to Yukiko's desire to keep things confidential.

However, fortunately, being aware of the plot, Senichi also attached great importance to this case, and for every aspect, there are second and third backup plans.

After some thought, Senichi's expression became slightly more serious as he said, "If you have any plans coming up, Mrs. Kudo, I would hope you could cooperate with one of my actions."

"Huh? Action?" Seeing Senichi's sudden seriousness, Yukiko and Conan exchanged glances, then Yukiko responded seriously, "Is something happening? Do you need me to do something?"

"Well, it can be called cooperation, but actually, you just have to stick to the original plan for tomorrow..."

Senichi smiled and answered the first question, then, under everyone's gaze, he slowly continued, "As for what's happening... I just felt like someone was surveilling when I came over today."

"!!!"

As Senichi's words fell, everyone's faces changed, and compared to Conan and the others' seriousness, Haibara's reaction was the most pronounced. Upon hearing Senichi's words, her face was full of fear, and even her body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

"Th-those guys...are they coming over?" Upon hearing Senichi's words, Haibara's eyes were shrouded with lines of shadows, and the fear in her eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Don't be nervous. If my prediction is correct, the visitors are friends, not enemies." Seeing Haibara's evident fear, Senichi quickly reassured her.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Conan, on the side, looked at Senichi with confusion.

"My eyesight is very good, and the tracker doesn't know this, so the distance they maintained didn't exceed my visual range, so I saw it," Senichi said, half-truthfully.

"The man who was following is Shuichi Akai."

"What! Him!?"

"Oh my..."

"Why is it that jerk!?"

Facing Senichi's words, everyone's reactions were completely different. Among them, Haibara, who was usually timid, was now like a cat protecting its food.

As for Senichi's words, no one doubted them because Senichi's vision had indeed become far superior to ordinary people after being strengthened, and everyone knew that his vision was great from their daily lives.

As for the nonsense about being tracked...

Although Senichi was indeed making it up and hadn't even noticed any trace of Shuichi Akai, there was no denying that Shuichi Akai might actually take such action!!

When Shuichi Akai really follows Yukiko's car tomorrow, then this piece of news would be completely confirmed!

"But why would he find his way here?" Conan, after realizing the situation wasn't dire, furrowed his brow and started to think, "Could it be that we inadvertently revealed a flaw?"

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome. If he can find us, it means that the guys from the Black Organization can find us too..."

"On this point, I do have some thoughts," Senichi took out a prepared explanation, "Perhaps it's because he's seen Haibara a few times, so he thinks she resembles Miss Miyano."

"Just based on that feeling..." Haibara couldn't help but retort.

"Others naturally wouldn't suspect, but don't forget, he is your sister's lover."

Senichi said lightly, "And also a sharp enough guy. Just that feeling is enough for him to act.

And now his tracking, I'm afraid, is to verify your identity!"
