-------o0o--------

Conan and Hattori was stupefied. Their girls were in trouble, but they couldn't do anything for them. Suddenly, Gin stepped to Haibara's place and grabbed her.

We have three hostages now !

Haibara ! – Conan turned around.

This is the battle between detectives and criminals, I'm waiting to see how can you beat us !

Damn it !

All of a sudden, another strange voice appeared.

Yeah, they can't beat you alone ! But they can beat you with our help !

With Conan, it's a familiar voice.

Chapter 4 : Bitter truth

"Who's that ?" Vodka shouted "Show yourself !"

"Hn, long time no see !" Gin smiled.

"Still remember my voice ?" the strange voice appeared again.

But now, the voice's owner appeared too, it's Shuichi Akai.

"Shuichi-san !" Conan said.

"All targets are here, it's good ! Shall we start ?" Gin laughed.

"Give me the antidote !" Conan shouted loudly. "We've got the antidote ! But do you want to know who made it ?" Gin said, with a mysterious smile on his cold face.

"Who cares about that ?" Conan was very angry.

Gin got the small bag. Then he said "If I give you now, it'll be so boring, and the battle can't be interesting with a boring start. So if you can figure out who made them, I'll give them to you, if not…" he looked at Canty and Corun "we will make shots with…a kid ! Here's two clues for you ! First, that person has betrayed you, and second, that person is the one who has pushed you away from our Organization and the antidotes."

"Gin, give them the antidotes, release the girls or…" Akai said.

"Or what ?" Gin asked.

"Or I will kill you !" Akai answered, extracted and activated his gun, pointed it right in front of Gin.

"If you shot him, these little girls won't be able to see their handsome boyfriends again !" Vermouth said right after that, and pointed her gun at Ran.

"Ran !" Conan shouted, he decided to run to Ran, but Hattori caught him. "Shinichi, you should think about the one who made the antidote first, or you and Ran will all be in danger !" Hattori said.

"Right !" Conan whispered. The one has betrayed me ? Except for my parents, there are some people who know about my secret : , Haibara, Hattori. They're all my friends and very kind with me, how can I doubt them ? But… has helped me a lot, he can't be the one, Haibara has tried very hard to make the antidote, and Hattori is now in danger with me.

"What ? So hard to put a doubt on your close friends ? Poor my little detective !" Gin ridiculed.

"Ooooh…" some weird sound appeared.

Conan turned to Ran, she's awake. "Ran !" he shouted.

"It can't be ! How can you be awake at this time ?" Vermouth was surprised. "What do you mean Vermouth ?" Gin asked.

"The sleeping pill will expire in five hours, but it have been just an hour !" Vermouth answered.

"Actually, I wasn't sleeping. I doubted you at the beginning, Vermouth. And now, I know everything !" Ran said.

"Ran" Conan whispered.

"Shinichi, focus on your thinking, I can handle it !" Ran shouted.

"So much confidence, how can you be so confident ?" Vermouth smiled.

"Because she has me !" another voice appeared. It's Rena. She came out of the dark, extracted her gun and pointed at Vermouth.

"I've known you are a CIA, like your father, but you show your real face sooner than I thought." Vermouth said.

Back to Conan, he was deep into his thinking, he found all his memories, all his past times. Suddenly, he remembered something very important and all fit with the things Gin said before What ? You've got the boss's number ? , You want to call to this number ? But it's too dangerous ! , I have to check all the ingredients of the drug to make the antidote, but now I have nothing ! ,… He knew all the things, but his face turned to a very sad mood, he couldn't believe what he had been thinking.

"Hattori, I think I've known the one who made the antidote !" Conan said to Hattori.

"Huh ? Really ?" Hattori surprised.

Gin heard it, too "Good, now tell me !" Gin said.

"The one who made the antidote is…"
