"Based on my investigation, Masami Hirota may be connected to the organization that shrunk you, the Black Organization!" Senichi slowly revealed the shocking information that made Conan tremble.
"What?!"
With Senichi's words, like a thunderbolt striking directly at Conan, he instinctively shook in his seat.
Even though Conan had a faint guess, when Senichi disclosed this information, Conan was still shocked and immediately wanted to jump off the car to find Masami Hirota.
"Calm down!"
Before Conan could stand up, Senichi, who was prepared, forcefully pressed him back into the seat and scolded, "Did you forget what I said earlier!? And are you going to rush over there without any thought? That's just throwing your life away! That organization is incredibly dangerous, and both robbers involved have been silenced."
Being scolded by Senichi, Conan immediately forced himself to calm down and asked the question in his mind:
"Detective Senichi, where did you get this information?"
'Indeed, as soon as the Black Organization is mentioned, this guy Conan loses his mind and acts without thinking', Senichi thought with a serious expression but was internally sarcastic.
At least in the early stages, that was the impression Conan gave Senichi.
When encountering the Black Organization, Conan's expression would change, and he would immediately stop considering the danger and act recklessly.
Of course, it might also be because the clues were too valuable at the time, forcing him to take risks and gather information.
Afterward, when he had enough information and met powerful allies like Shuichi Akai, his approach became more calm.
Seeing Conan calm down, Senichi slowly withdrew his right hand that was pressing on him.
Even though Conan had calmed down, he still anxiously asked again, "Detective Senichi, is the information accurate?"
"I'm quite certain, but it's not complete," Senichi slowly replied. "Because I also obtained this information unexpectedly."
"Unexpectedly!?"
"Yes, unexpectedly," Senichi calmly spoke and explained to Conan the "fictional reasoning" he had come up with, constructed by combining known information. It was a flawless fictional reasoning!
"After learning about your identity, naturally, I began paying attention to the organization you mentioned that caused you to shrink. And there was one place that caught my interest."
"What place?" Conan's gaze intensified, and he quickly asked.
"Your house."
Senichi's words shocked Conan, but Senichi ignored Conan's reaction and continued, "I found the circumstances after you were drugged quite intriguing. I suspect it wasn't the complete version of the drug, and your shrinking was one of its side effects.
Thinking along those lines, if I were the developer of the drug, I might investigate each person who was drugged, and your house happens to be unoccupied."
"Are you saying someone has invaded my house!?" Conan's expression turned ashen. Realizing that his identity as a shrunken person might have been discovered, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
After all, his clothing was a big loophole, and he only realized it now.
If the researchers from the organization knew about the side effect of the drug that caused people to shrink, then undoubtedly he had been exposed!
"Don't panic. It hasn't reached the point you imagine, or else someone would have come to kill you long ago."
Senichi looked at Conan's worried expression and couldn't help but say, "If you're discovered, then the Kudo family would naturally be investigated. Do you think you can still stand here intact?"
Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but calm down.
Indeed, his moving into the house was basically simultaneous with Kudo Shinichi's disappearance. If the fact that he had become small was exposed, the first person to be suspected would definitely be himself.
"So, how did you find out about this?" Conan asked with a puzzled expression. "You can't possibly be staying at my house every day, right?"
"Of course not," Senichi rolled his eyes. "I used the help of the people, who even if they stay there, no one will notice them or even care about their disappearance..
Of course, they were just casual pawns, but I didn't expect to gain such a big harvest."
"You mean homeless people?" Conan immediately caught on, but couldn't help but worry. "Are your informants reliable?"
"Don't worry, they are reliable informants," Senichi said with great certainty. "And I just had them report to me if they saw anyone entering or leaving your house. There won't be any problems.
Moreover, these people are inconspicuous. The Black Organization won't suspect such insignificant individuals."
And those are "unnecessary" informants, just like the informant during the Moonshade Island incident. They are loyal and reliable, and no one knows their true identity except for Senichi.
Because there is simply no one, if you really have to say it, you can call them the strongest informant, the "Spoiler"!
Well, after all, these pieces of information are spoilers~
Listening to Senichi's explanation and with his assurance, Conan finally relaxed.
After all, if it was just a simple report, there wouldn't be much risk involved.
"After receiving the information, I immediately began my investigation," Senichi continued as Conan settled down. "With the convenience of my position, I found a surveillance camera at a nearby shop and finally saw the target that the informant mentioned, a young woman dressed in a white lab coat, who seemed to be a researcher!"
"Do you have a photo of her?" Conan asked in shock, unable to contain himself.
"Just to be safe, I memorized it," Senichi nodded, then said unkindly, "I can draw it anytime if needed. But that's not the focus at the moment. Now be quiet and let me finish speaking. The next thing I'm going to say is crucial."
Upon hearing this, Conan smiled brightly, realizing that he had interrupted Senichi quite a few times. He gestured for Senichi to continue.
"When I saw her face, I felt like I had seen her somewhere before," Senichi said with a serious tone. "After searching through the palace of my memory, I discovered that one afternoon, by chance, I saw this young woman I was investigating sitting together with Masami Hirota, the person involved in this case, at a café!"
"What?!"
Hearing Senichi's words, Conan couldn't help but exclaim, finally understanding why Senichi suspected that the woman was connected to the Black Organization.
So, it turned out that he had encountered the young woman who was investigating his house and Masami Hirota at the café before!
At this moment, Conan couldn't help but be happy at the fact that Senichi had discovered his identity. It was an incredibly fortunate thing.
Senichi was undoubtedly the most powerful ally he had when facing the Black Organization.
Not only did he consider aspects that Conan hadn't even thought of, but he also set up a casual pawn that ultimately became their weapon to obtain crucial information!
