With Senichi's current identity, it's honestly difficult not to attract attention once he arrives.
Senichi now represents the face of the Metropolitan Police Department as a "renowned police detective."
To avoid being overshadowed by the "great private detectives" and the police department playing the role of a tool to highlight the competence of the private detectives in the media. So Senichi has recently been heavily promoted.
Furthermore, Senichi was involved in the investigation of the "One Billion Yen Robbery Case" by Masami Hirota!
He even found the stolen money, although it wasn't him who actually found it, but he suggested the direction, and he was the one who led people to the hidden loot.
In this situation, why would Senichi inexplicably visit a professor?
At that time, wouldn't it raise suspicions from the Black Organization?
The first time investigating the stolen money was understandable since it falls under the scope of his duties as a police officer, and no one would doubt that.
But when it comes to the Professor, there is no reason for Senichi to visit. After all, Senichi has no connection with the professor, and it wouldn't make sense for him to visit without a valid reason.
In this situation, if you suddenly visit a stranger, especially someone connected to the missing Masami Hirota, it's as obvious as a candle in the dark.
Moreover, the professor possesses a magnetic disk with information about the organization's drugs and personnel!
The people from "The Black Organization" would immediately suspect if Senichi had any contact with Masami Hirota and obtained this information from her.
Otherwise, why would he visit a random professor?
Is it just a coincidence? Even if it is, someone will believe it!!
In that case, it would truly be a dire situation. With "The Black Organization" methods, they will thoroughly investigate you, and there's a possibility they might assassinate you directly.
Senichi doesn't want to end up being struck from behind one day and forcibly drugged.
Based on this situation, Senichi chose to abandon this fate point. Besides, Professor Agasa has already contacted the Professor, and either she's already in danger or on her way...
Considering the distance between the two parties is about a three-hour drive, the geographical distance alone makes it impossible for Senichi to go and save her.
So let Conan and Professor Agasa go and help the police catch the culprit while Senichi takes Haibara to Moonshadow Island.
After reaching an agreement, they immediately split up and took action.
Senichi, accompanied by Haibara, raced to the pier and paid extra money to find a boatman willing to sail to Moonshadow Island. They set off towards the island.
Sailing at night is completely different from sailing during the day. It's surrounded by endless darkness, and beneath their feet, there's nothing but deep, bottomless sea, like the jaws of a giant beast.
Fortunately, the weather was favorable tonight, and the sea was calm. They arrived safely at Moonshadow Island.
Outside the clinic on Moonshadow Island, Haibara urgently knocked on the door.
"Who is it..."
After Senichi revealed his identity, the door outside the clinic slowly opened. "Senichi-san, why are you here so late?"
"Sister!"
In the next moment, Akemi Miyano was hugged tightly. She looked at the familiar little girl in her arms with some confusion.
But then she quickly realized and looked at the girl in her arms with a trembling voice, "You... you are... Shiho?"
"It's me, sister. I'm Shiho!"
At this moment, Shiho Miyano's face was already filled with tears of joy. She felt the warmth of the embrace and didn't want to let go. "It's great, it's great... everything is real..."
"Shiho..."
Akemi Miyano was also overwhelmed with excitement. She recognized her younger sister's childhood appearance and was astonished to see her sister safely by her side. Tears welled up in her eyes.
After entering the house, Senichi found a room to rest, leaving the time for the two sisters to spend together.
They each shared their respective situations. After listening, Akemi Miyano felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault... I never thought that my disappearance would cause you... I was so selfish..."
"No, sister, what you did was right."
Haibara shook her head and said, "If you had gone to the appointment and not agreed to Senichi-san's plan, you would have been killed by the organization. At that time, I would have made the same choice. I would have truly been all alone. At least now you are still here, and that's the best outcome for me!"
Regardless of whether Akemi Miyano disappeared or died, Haibara would have taken the path of taking the drug, so being able to have her sister as the outcome filled Haibara with joy.
Now, the two sisters were finally reunited, and they had escaped from the organization.
In other words, after experiencing a series of hardships, they had finally achieved the life they desired. It could be said that they had gone from bitter to sweet!
Early next morning, Senichi woke up, checked the food in the refrigerator, and started preparing breakfast.
The two sisters who had stayed up late talking the night woke up upon hearing the sounds from the kitchen.
"Are you awake? Then I'll make breakfast for you." Senichi took two eggs and ham from the refrigerator.
"I'm sorry, we've troubled you so much, and now we're making you cook breakfast..." Akemi Miyano apologized.
"It's alright. It's been a long time since you two sisters have seen each other, and so much has happened. It's only natural." Senichi smiled and said, "Go freshen up, and we'll have breakfast soon."
"Thank you, Senichi-san," Haibara also thanked him from the side.
Senichi nodded with a smile and focused on cooking the eggs in the pan.
Senichi knew yesterday that he wouldn't be able to return today, so he simply took a day off. His authority had been increasing, and taking a day off was easy.
Somehow, being handsome attracted a lot of attention, and after his achievements as a police detective were made public, he gained many fans among mystery enthusiasts. Moreover, Senichi himself was a police detective, and his own experiences were quite fascinating. Coupled with his writing skills in mystery novels, the combination attracted a large number of dedicated fans and even some fangirls.
All of these factors increased Senichi's influence, and with his abilities being sufficient, the reputation and credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department had been rising in society. The higher-ups were pleased, and he was given enough privileges...
After finishing breakfast, Senichi got down to business. He took out the disguise kit and handed it to Akemi Miyano to use.
Although she was surprised by the functionality of the mask, it was a common occurrence in the Conan world to have such black technology.
Senichi had deactivated the most crucial instant face-changing feature, so she was just amazed by the materials and the special unlocking gesture.
Afterward, the three of them packed up and prepared to leave.
Yes, this time Akemi Miyano would also leave together.
The case had come to a close, so they took the opportunity to let Akemi Miyano return to Tokyo using the identity of Sakurada Narumi.
The darkest hour has ended before the dawn~
