the spare glasses, otherwise you would have suffocated miserably in the closet," she held up to him.
"Yeah, I know that without you holding it against me again and again, but I just can't get rid of what it said", Conan frowned and thought again of the words he had read.
[i]We can be both of God and the Devil. Since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time. The woman had said that to the man back then, Conan had read it in his virtual diary and couldn't believe what they were up to. They would play god and devil by raising the dead against the tide of time. That was a little too macabre even for the little detective."You mean because they want to break the flow of time and want to raise the dead again?" Asked Haibara and looked at him.
"Exactly that, I don't understand that you can stay so calm there," interjected Conan.
"Then think about it. If you really want to resurrect the dead, what will they need for it? Researchers and I know them, they don't have many and those who have them are not good enough. Do you understand it now, the whole Research at the APTX was aimed at finding an antidote to what already existed, a poison that would bring the dead back to life. And believe me, I can judge them well enough, they want me to do all of this. But as long as I'm here you shouldn't worry, "Ai said, looking to the side.
"It's easy for you to talk," grumbled the little one.

[i]Why was I so confused yesterday? Ran wondered. She was in class and meanwhile the fourth lesson had already started. English was on the agenda and that with her favorite teacher, Jodie Saintemillion.
Jodie had dark blonde hair and it went up to her shoulder, she also had blue eyes and wore glasses, perhaps too big, on her nose. What nobody knew was that this came from her father and was therefore her last and probably only memory of him. Also here she called herself Jodie Saintemillion and not, Jodie Starling, as she was actually called. Since she was a child, Jodie had been in the witness protection program, the ZSP as the FBI often called it, and yet she had enough courage to work for the 'office' herself Since this should now be here in Japan, the agent had to go too. Jodie still had her old papers with her old name and was able to go undercover to the school. As an English teacher, she now worked in Ran's class and thus had a good connection with Mori's daughter.That was important because all the police reports involving Kogoro Mori had disappeared. The FBI suspected that there was more than lazy and put the best agents in to carry out this job.
In her spare time, it was said, Jodie would love to be in arcades and have some fun too. In terms of character, she had always been strict in school and not as cheeky as she usually was. The official reason she gave was that she would be out of her job quickly if she made even one mistake, but the real reason for that was that she went about her real duty. In the arcade, she mostly played through the many shooting games in order to still have good training in terms of her own shooting skills.

[i]This man ... why does it just stay on my mind? Ran wondered that and she hadn't found an answer to it, it was already the case that the man's face was burned into her memories and she couldn't get rid of it. Who was he?
"Ran, can you read the text?" Jodie asked the girl in English. She had noticed for a long time that Ran wasn't really involved in class and kept looking out the window, occasionally sighing. It struck her as weird because the girl never did anything like that and had always been a good student.
"Ran, please, read the text", the teacher repeated her words when she noticed that Ran did not react the first time. Only then was she nudged by Sonoko, who advised her to follow the lesson.
Ran went a little red in the face, she had never paid so little attention to the lesson as now. She got up slowly and picked up the book that she was reading in class. Page 156 was still open and she began to read.
"Sometimes I used to dream that I was adopted. In the dram I would get home frome school to find my parents were waiting for me."Actually, Ran wanted to read more, but the class started to giggle and the girl didn't know why. She looked around, irritated.
"Why is everyone laughing?" Ran mumbled and looked at Jodie.
"Ran, Ran, please", Jodie started and looked into the class. "Now don't just laugh because someone made a mistake, that can always happen. And now to you, Ran. Your pronunciation is really flawless, you should think about whether you want to go to the States later. Ran, I have two Notes for you. The first one, if you left such a text, please include, how do they say here with you, "thought Jodie and tapped her cheek with her finger as if she was about to find out exactly how it was Was the word she was looking for. "... Elan. Look at the text that you have read out loud. You have to try to live it properly while reading it, with some emotions," said the teacher in half English and Japanese. "And one more thing, next time, please read the correct text aloud, it is on page 189, but I think you would have recognized it if you had followed the lesson. Please come to me as soon as the doorbell rings," said she and picked out another student. This should now read the text that Ran should have read.

"Ran?", Sonoko whispered and looked at her.
"Yes, what's up?", Ran wanted to know. She also looked at her friend, although she actually wanted to take care of the lessons and not cause further trouble.
"What's the matter with you? You're not at it at all, I don't know that. Or are you thinking of your Shinichi", the girl grinned and teased her friend again.
"I don't," Ran shook his head. She then noticed Jodie's scrutinizing look and looked ahead, busily making notes and hoping that she wouldn't say something again. Luckily Jodie hadn't said anything about it and Ran was relieved.
"Even if I don't like to torment you, but there is a homework, read the next 150 pages and write a short summary that you will give me in the next hour ... that ends the lesson", and not too late.It was just in time for the school bell to ring.
"Thank God," murmured some students and ran outside.
Ran however only slowly packed her school bag and then looked at Sonoko. "Go ahead, I have to talk to Miss Saintemillion," she said with a smile.
"Forget it, I'll wait. I'm not just leaving my best friend here," said Sonoko and was sent outside by Jodie. There she could and had to wait. The Suzuki girl leaned against the cold wall and waited for Ran to come out. Even if she was curious, she wasn't listening, because until now you knew Jodie and knew that she always opened the door while listening.

"You wanted to speak to me," mumbled Ran, a little quietly and was now standing at Jodie's desk. Her teacher was just packing up her things and looking at the girl.
"Exactly, you were so distracted today. What happend?", She wanted to know.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just too tired yesterday and the rain had reminded me of old times. I couldn't sleep and I was still a little blown this morning," said Ran. She hoped it would be enough and didn't ask her teacher yet.
"I can understand that you young girls often think of something else, but try to separate it from class. I know it's difficult, but it can work. Was that all because of your boyfriend?", Jodie asked. She got a little more curious and at times you could have the feeling that she wasn't a teacher but a friend.
"F ... friend ...", Ran stammered a little and then shook his head. "No, I haven't heard from Shinichi for a long time," she sighed and became sad. How she would have loved to hear his voice again, even if it was only brief.
"And then who is it for? But when it comes to this Shinichi, I'll give you some advice, make yourself a little scarce or try to make him jealous," Jodie winked.Rather, she thought about the fact that Ran needed a little tips and tricks on how she would manage that her boyfriend or future boyfriend would finally say what he felt for her.

Their research revealed that Shinichi Kudo had been missing for over eight months and he rarely appeared, actually rarely. As for the cases, too, he was as if disappeared from the face of the earth. The FBI agent suspected that something was going on and that things weren't quite right, especially back when Ran had to play her role on stage. The detective from Osaka had come disguised as Shinichi Kudo, although he was exposed and shortly afterwards the real Kudo appeared on the scene, but it had been strange for her too. She secretly took some photos of the scenes and watched them all at home. Two kudos appeared, the wrong one, but only to cover the real one and then the right one. It had been very strange, almost as if they wanted to hide Shinichi's identity and not let him show up.
Even in the newspapers and police reports, it was stated that the Osaka detective was solving the case, not Kudo. It had been very strange and made the FBI even more interested in the boy. Even they couldn't find out where he was or what he was doing.

"Uh, Miss Saintemillion, it's not like that," Ran shook his head again and raised his hands defensively. It shouldn't look like Shinichi, it didn't, at least not entirely.
"And how is it then. Please don't worry, I'm a good listener, everything you say here won't leave the room and I won't say a word about it," said Jodie.
"It was about someone else. Have you ever had the feeling that you were going to see someone and know them, but you couldn't sort them out correctly? Then think about it and at some point you will know how you know this person again and you will remember that it would be better if the memory of it stayed locked forever, even if some good things happened, "said Ran quietly."I don't think it's good for a young girl like you to lock up memories. I can even imagine that you have a lot of
