Chapter 576 You are Grace, right?
"Hey, forget about them, let's play Mini Soccer!" Hideki Morohoshi threw the Soccer Ball on the Ground and kicked it out.
The other three Children also ran off.
Conan chuckled inwardly, just as he was about to express to Haibara Ai that Japan's future was inherited by such a group of people and the Prospects were worrying, he saw Haibara Ai still frozen in Original Place. Chi Kana had returned at some point and was standing behind Haibara Ai, "That..."
"Please excuse our rudeness," Mouri Ran said hastily, "Also, you are Brother Chi's Mother, right? Thank you for your Gift."
"You're welcome," Chi Kana smiled, "I forgot Self-introduction Just Now, I am Chi Kana, Hichiji's Mother. Actually, Mr. Mouri spoke very well Just Now."
"Really?" Mori Kogoro scratched his head smilingly, "But obviously it was useless."
"Hmm..." Chi Kana lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, looking troubled, "I'm very sorry, I Just Now wanted to Help Say something, but Hichiji has never been like this, so I completely Don't Know how to Handle such a Child."
Mouri Ran: "..."
Although Chi Kana seemed to be indirectly praising her own Child for being well-behaved, the Doubt and distress in her eyes were too genuine, as if she was very surprised 'So Children can be this naughty'.
She was completely a Mother with not much Experience.
Thinking again that Chi Feichei seemed to have grown up 'unattended', she didn't find it Weird, and also...
Uh, Brother Hichiji really had it tough.
"That..." Conan looked up at Chi Kana, feeling that it was better to ask directly, "Aunt Jia Nai, could you Come Over here for a moment? I want to ask you a Question."
"Huh?" Mouri Ran found it Weird, but seeing Suzuki Sonoko and Chi Feichei Come Over, she decided to greet the two of them first.
Children also need to have their Personal Space.
...
Conan pulled Haibara Ai, Go To the other side of the Dining Table. Seeing that they had distanced themselves from the others, he Stop and Turn Around to Look at Chi Kana.
Chi Kana pressed down her Skirt Hem and squatted down, asking with a smile, "Alright, knowledgeable Little Girl, what Secret do you want to Say to me?"
Conan met Chi Kana's Gentleness Gaze, feeling much relieved in his Heart, "You Said Before, seeing Haibara looks familiar, have you seen her in some Place Before? Or Rather, have you seen someone who looks very much like her?"
Haibara Ai also woke up from her daze, raised her Eye to Look at Chi Kana.
This was also what she wanted to Know.
"It's not like we've met, but she really looks very much like..." Chi Kana was just struggling with Don't Know how to Say it, when she raised her Eye and discovered that Chi Feichei had also Come Over, she asked hesitantly, "You've also noticed, Hichiji?"
Chi Feichei listened to Mouri Ran Say about the Matters Before.
He was very clear that Chi Kana had no Relationship with the Organization, and would not have seen it from the Organization Archive.
Even if Chi Kana had seen Shiho Miyano in some Place Previously, it was impossible to Guess immediately that the person had become smaller.
The remaining possibility was that Chi Kana had seen other people who looked alike.
Akai Shuichi's Old Mom Mary Sera, was also Haibara Ai's Old Mom's Older Sister.
Interestingly, Haibara Ai and Mary Sera looked very much alike, but they didn't look much like their own Parents.
Mary Sera was from British MI6, Chi Kana grew up in Britain, and has often stayed in Britain these years, it's not Weird that the two have met.
But if that was the case, Chi Kana should not Know Haibara Ai's favorite Food, and even less should she Know that Haibara Ai had stayed in America.
And someone else who looks very much like Haibara Ai is Gress Aihara.
Grace Aihara, an American Child Star, This Year nine years old, has the same Hairstyle and Hair Color as Haibara Ai. The Pupil Color is slightly different, but the difference is not large, which can make people mistakenly think it is due to Light reasons.
Moreover, Grace Aihara's Father is Japanese and Mother is British People, just like Haibara Ai. Even the favorite Food mentioned in the Interview is also the same as Haibara Ai's, Peanut Butter and Blueberry Jam Sandwich.
To summarize, His Mom should have recognized Haibara Ai as Grace Aihara, it's just a misunderstanding.
But it doesn't prevent him from having a Morbid Taste as well...
"Uh-huh," Chi Feichei walked to Conan and Haibara Ai's Rear, "She told me she is eight years old This Year, but her Age should be a little older."
Little Girl, well, scare her occasionally, maybe she won't be so easily frightened in the Future.
Haibara Ai: "..."
(Sigh)
That's right, her actual Age is not eight years old, it's older than eight years old...
Conan looked up, surprised to Look at Chi Feichei.
No way? Could it be that Haibara's Alias has already been dropped?
Chi Kana recalled for a moment, "I remember the Interview Report was last year, at that Time she was eight years old, then she should be nine years old This Year."
Conan Stunned, "N-Nine years old?"
Haibara Ai Stunned, "Interview Report?"
"I don't remember where I put that Magazine, but..." Chi Kana took out her Mobile Phone from her Handbag, flipped through the Website for a while, found a Photo of Grace Aihara, and placed the Mobile Phone in front of Haibara Ai and Conan, "Even if you don't have Makeup now, and you're not wearing that exaggerated Style of Clothes, I can still recognize you."
Conan Looked at the Photo, and then Looked at Haibara Ai.
The Girl in the Photo was wearing heavy Makeup, wearing Clothes of a dark and sexy Style. Putting those aside, she really looked exactly the Same as Haibara Ai, even the tea-colored wavy Short Hair was the Same...
Haibara Ai even started to Doubt if this was her Younger Sister who had been separated for many years.
Brother Hichiji's Old Mom Said Before, this Girl is nine years old This Year?
Then calculated by actual Age, she is indeed a Younger Sister.
"That Interview Time was last year, it mentioned above that the Mother is British People, the Father is Japanese, the favorite Food is Peanut Butter and Blueberry Jam Sandwich, and not long After Afterwards last year's Interview, Grace Aihara announced her retirement from the Entertainment Industry and never appeared again," Chi Kana Gaze at Haibara Ai, "Looking at your Reaction Before, your favorite Food is Peanut Butter and Blueberry Jam Sandwich, your Parents' Nationality also completely matches, and, Gress means Gray, Alias Haibara, and then use Ai in Aihara as your Name, which is Haibara Ai, you are Grace, right?"
Haibara Ai: "..."
This World is really amazing...
Conan: "..."
There would actually be such a coincidence.
"When I picked her up, she was very disheveled, Seemingly she had just secretly run out of the Hospital," Chi Feichei Say following Chi Kana's Guess, "Probably Because something happened to her Home, and she had to live in Japan incognito."
At that Time, Haibara Ai was wrapped in a White Coat, it was very reasonable to Say she ran out of the Hospital.
"I Heard Before that Grace's Parents died very early, when she was Child, she went to America with her Uncle, and her Uncle served as her Agent, and she became a Child Star, but the Company where her Uncle worked had Connection with the Mafia... Could it be Because of those Mafia people, she had to live in Japan incognito?" Chi Kana stood up thoughtfully and Discuss with Chi Feichei, "Then we need to keep her Identity Confidentiality, right?"
Conan: "..."
No, not Mafia, it's a certain Black Organization.
Haibara Ai hesitated for a moment, and said seriously, "No, I am not Grace Aihara."
Conan was a little surprised, Turn Head to Look at Haibara Ai.
If such a Human exists, Haibara can completely use Grace's Identity at a Key Time.
In this way, even if she encounters people from that Organization, there is still room for maneuver, no need to be worried, and no need to worry about being exposed in front of Chi Feichei, why deny it?
Haibara Ai turned her Head to the side, avoiding Conan's Line of Sight.
Now it seems, Brother Hichiji has never been curious about her Identity, Probably he has long regarded her as Grace Aihara.
Concealing a Secret is one thing, deception is another, she really doesn't want to deceive Chi Feichei, and also Chi Feichei's Old Mom.
She can deceive them now, but what if Grace Aihara appears in the Future, how should she explain?
"I Understand, I won't mention Grace's Matters again," Chi Kana smiled at Haibara Ai, "No matter who you were Before, that's all Past, now you are Haibara Ai."
Haibara Ai raised her Eye to meet Chi Kana's smiling Line of Sight, feeling a little dazed.
She could See that Chi Kana still believed she was Grace, at least believed she once was.
But just as Chi Kana Said, no matter who she was in the Past, in Chi Kana's eyes she is Haibara Ai... not pursuing how the Past was, only recognizing her Present existence.
"Did you give them the Badge?" Chi Feichei Say back to Serious Business.
"Before people from Barclay Family came to talk to me about Matters, I have already given those two Badges to them, but Genta and the others haven't had Time yet," Chi Kana also stopped focusing on Haibara Ai's background, took out a handful of Badges from her Handbag, "What about you? Has the extra one you got been sent out?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Gave it to the Child of a Police Officer's Home from the Metropolitan Police Department."
Conan Looked at the handful of Cocoon Game Experience Badge in Chi Kana's Hand, and immediately broke out in a sweat.
It really is... 'a handful'!
Aren't Experience Slot limited? Why does Chi Feichei's Old Mom have so many here?
"These are what Hichiji specially asked for you..." Chi Kana handed two Badges to Conan and Haibara Ai, and then Turn Around to distribute Game Experience Badge to others.
The Lights in the Banquet Hall suddenly went out.
In a Darkness, Thomas Sindola walked through the Crowd, accidentally bumped into Mori Kogoro, whispered 'sorry', and continued to walk quietly out of the Venue with a gloomy Face.
From the Test Just Now, Chi Feichei should Don't Know anything, and he was also prepared.
And no matter what, that hidden danger of Katamura Tadahiko must be resolved as soon as possible!
Colorful Beam of Light lit up, shaking in the Venue, and Beam of Light also cast down on the Stage in front.
The Stage slowly rose from below, and a Woman dressed in a refreshing and sexy manner stood beside a Cocoon Game Equipment.
"Now, please enjoy this epoch-making Game Equipment, Cocoon!"
The Host began to introduce the Cocoon Game Equipment, "This Capsule controls people's Five Senses, whether it is Touch, Pain, or Scent, all the Feelings are very real. Players will be placed in a virtual Game World. It is a System that uses Electricity to stimulate the Central Nervous System, which is completely harmless to the Body..."
In the Crowd, Chi Kana gave Game Experience Badge to Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi.
The three Children immediately looked excited and started to discuss animatedly.
Conan Looked at the Badge in his Hand, "It's just a Computer Game, are they too Happy?"
"Brother Hichiji should be very Interested, Before someone Said that besides the Children, there would also be a Tester participating together," Haibara Ai pinned the Badge on her Clothes, "I thought there would really be a Tester accompanying, now it seems, that Tester is Guess to be him."
"Ran also has one, Brother Chi really hasn't left anyone out," Conan discovered that Chi Kana had given another Badge to Mouri Ran, sighed with emotion, and saw that Suzuki Sonoko standing Beside Mouri Ran also had a Badge pinned on her Clothes, and laughed, "Sonoko also has one, it's not bad for everyone to go to the Game to Experience it together, although this is just a Child's Game..."
"That's hard to Say!"
Doctor Agasa walked over smilingly from the Rear.
