After Curacao finished speaking, Haihara Ai's expression suddenly froze, and his pupils dilated slightly.

"My...photo?"

Curacao looked at Haihara Ai at a lower position and said calmly: "Your mother is Elena Miyano, right?"

"I think your mother and I have had a chance encounter."

"I saw a picture of you on the table in her laboratory, which is probably what you look like now."

"So when I first saw you, I was aware of your identity."

Hearing this, the expression on Haiyuan Ai's face became even more shocked, and his eyes widened.

It's not that she doubted that Curacao had seen photos of her as a child.

But that photo should not exist at all!

"This is impossible!"

"My mother died shortly after giving birth to me. How could she have photos of me as a child?"

"The one you see is definitely not my mother!"

Haiyuan Ai felt that her brain was swelling and her tone of voice was gradually losing its calmness.

Because her mother Elena is dead, this is the knowledge that has lasted in her heart for more than ten years, and it was also told to her personally by her dearest sister Miyano Akemi.

It has even become part of the worldview.

Now, a member of the organization that she has never met suddenly appears and claims that her mother is still alive. How can she accept this?

But Qin Zhibo and Conan on the side knew that what Curaçao said was most likely true.

Haibara Ai’s mother, Miyano Elena, is indeed not dead.

It's just that in order to prevent Hui Yuan Ai from imagining things, he never told her about this matter.

"Whether she is really the mother you think she is, I don't know."

"I only know that person's name is Elena Miyano, and the organization's code name is Shirley."

Curacao stated calmly.

Facing Haiyuan Ai, the "child grandmother", she was not as kind as when she was facing the three little ones.

Qin Zhibo asked at this time: "Where did you meet Elena Miyano?"

"It's on the NPL." Curacao replied without thinking.

"NPL?"

Qin Zhibo looked suspicious.

Conan frowned, feeling as if he had heard the abbreviation of this word somewhere.

At this time, Haiyuan Ai calmed down a little and said calmly: "New Potential Laboratory, New Potential Laboratory."

"This is a secret laboratory of the organization. It is said that the scientific research conducted there has exceeded the scope of general science..."

When Haibara Ai said that long string of words, Conan, who was reminiscing, suddenly had an idea in his mind and suddenly recalled it.

The last time I heard this word was when I met the fugitive Miichiro Numabuchi in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture.

At that time, Haibara Ai revealed that Numabuchi Miichiro was an experimental subject abandoned by the organization and had previously been in the NPL.

"Is it the laboratory where Miichiro Numabuchi once stayed?"

Conan confirmed with Haihara Ai again.

Hui Yuarai nodded slightly.

And Conan's words also reminded Qin Zhibo of Miichiro Numagachi, whom he had fought against before.

At that time, he was still lurking in the organization, codenamed Michael, and followed Gin to "recover" Miichiro Numagachi.

But this man seemed to have special abilities under the moonlight, and suddenly became so powerful that even he could not subdue him.

That operation ultimately ended in failure.

But a few days later, the police issued a notice and found the body of Miichiro Numabuchi at the foot of the cliff. It seemed that he fell off the cliff and broke his neck while escaping.

At this time, as soon as the anxious Conan heard that there were clues that could lead to the main plot, he quickly turned to Curacao again and asked anxiously.

"Where is that laboratory?"

Curacao shook his head, "I don't know where it is now..."

"Now?" Conan frowned slightly.

"Because NPL is actually set up on a ship."

"What?!"

Conan and Qin Zhibo suddenly showed shocked expressions, and even Hui Yuan Ai's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Curacao continued: "The ship has no fixed course and drifts in the seas around the world all year round. It only occasionally docks to replenish supplies and personnel."

Hearing this familiar description, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of the ship in his mind.

Seven years ago, Ethan Hondo, who was lurking in the organization as an undercover agent, once witnessed a huge ship at the port of Tokyo Port.

As a member of the organization, he only knew that the ship was very important to the organization and that it drifted on the sea all year round and rarely docked.

Even if it docks, the world cannot find the ship's barge records, voyage route and ship number.

It can be said that that ship is a "ghost ship" in the real world.

Tracing the whereabouts of the ship is also one of Ethan Hondo's lifelong obsessions.

But not long ago, Qin Zhibo encountered a ship suspected to be that ship in the "Aphrodite" incident.

When the "Aphrodite" was sinking, a huge ship appeared on the sea not far away.

At that time, everyone thought that the other party had received a distress signal and came to rescue.

As a result, the other party did not save anyone, but stayed in the sea not far away for a while, and then disappeared.

The Coast Guard later checked the ships passing through the nearby waters, but no ship's route passed through that sea area.

This incident later caused an uproar on the Internet, "The Sinking of the Aphrodite and the Ghost Ship".

But Conan saw a huge crow mark on the ship through his black technology glasses.

The same crow mark also appeared on the custom-made tableware of Dusk Villa.

In other words, that ship is the property of Renya Karasuma.

And judging from the fact that it cannot search for voyage records, it is probably the ship that Ethan Hondo saw seven years ago.

At the same time, it may also be the NPL, New Potential Laboratory mentioned in Curacao today!

After learning this important clue, Qin Zhibo was also a little excited.

Because the organization has hidden the ship so deeply for so many years, it is very likely that there is some shocking secret on the ship.

At this time, Haihara Ai looked at Curacao again and asked: "You mean, you were also on that ship and met Elena Miyano."

Here Haihara Ai did not call "Miyano Elena" her mother because she still couldn't believe that her mother was still alive.

But Curacao's statement was not laced with emotion, and there was no need to lie to her.

Curacao nodded, "Yes, I was once a guinea pig on that ship, conducting some experiments on the body."

"Among the researchers I came into contact with at that time was Elena Miyano."

"Body experiment?" Qin Zhibo asked seriously: "What is it about?"

Curacao thought for two seconds and replied: "It's an experiment about strengthening physical fitness. The organization has been trying to create the best agents in the world."

“Inside the NPL, that plan is called the ‘New Humanity Plan’.”

"However, the success rate of this plan is not as high as expected. There are very few experimental subjects like me who have successfully obtained outstanding abilities."

Curacao calls herself an "experiment", which is how the organization positioned her from the beginning. "In the NPL, all experimental subjects face only two fates. One is to acquire excellent abilities and then work for the organization."

"The other is to become a failure and be exiled to other laboratories to continue to serve as experimental subjects, or to be destroyed on the spot."

"The Numabuchi Miichiro you just mentioned must be one of the failed products of a certain experiment..."

As Conan listened to Curaçao's statement, his eyes changed from shock at the beginning to seriousness after he calmed down.

"Then what ability did you gain?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"...exceeds the physical fitness and memory ability of ordinary people."

Curacao raised his hand and pointed to the translucent pupil of his right eye, "This eye is actually not my original eye, but was transplanted when I was very young."

"This eye cooperates with certain parts of my brain to have photographic memory."

"It is because of this ability that when he accidentally remembered something that was detrimental to the organization, he was saved by Rum and was not silenced."

"Quiet?"

Qin Zhibo was surprised and said quickly: "Wait a minute, you said you remembered something that was detrimental to the organization, what exactly was it?"
