Gosho does that because he doesn't intend to finish the manga yet, at least that's the way it seems to me. I know too that there is no reason for Haibara to not tell Conan everything. But then again, Gosho always left too much things unsolved in the past no matter how insignificant they may have truly were.Chekhov MacGuffin wrote:She probably knows a lot of "inner secrets." She uses the phrase (more than once I think), "the people you (Conan) call the men in black," which implies she knows another name for them, probably the syndicate's true name, but does not wish to tell Conan. (I can't find the sources for the quote)Khinkhun wrote: We still have a lot of things to know about her... I mean yeah she develops drugs, but what for? and since she's in the organization, how come she never told Conan's the Organization name? and How much does she really know?
As for why, the obvious reason is that Aoyama Gosho doesn't want her to be a massive story breaker by spilling the org's inner secrets all at once. The in-universe reason would probably be because she is trying to "protect" Conan somehow. She might hope he will give up before he goes in too deep. Ai could also be afraid that Conan will hate her if he finds out the truth of her role in the org. Maybe she doesn't trust him with the secrets or thinks he is unready to face the org. She could also be deeply brainwashed for loyalty and therefore she is uncomfortable talking about the syndicate. Or perhaps she doesn't want to feel responsible if Conan acts on information she gives him and winds up dying, since she will somehow feel it is her fault.
Whatever her reasons are, they aren't sensible now. Initially it was more logical because she didn't know Conan that well and her character hadn't opened up enough. Currently, her reasons are nonsensical or at least irrational because her character and her relationship with Conan have developed considerably. It's obvious Conan isn't going to give up despite the risk and will only commit himself further each step he takes. As for not trusting Conan... she strikes me as a mediocre judge of personality, but Conan is so forthright with his general good intentions it would seem impossible to misjudge. Maybe her current reason is primarily irrational, governed by fears of losing someone. Another reason might be that she wants to see how well Conan can do with minimal guidance since he is good at catching on. (I sure hope not, because that would be irritating.)
Her character has always bothered me because I feel like the strings Gosho uses to make her dance to plot are more visible than those of the other characters.
The thing that Haibara's mom told her in the tapes.
In the case when Araide returns Conan tried to figure out something about Vermouth and he said "damn, now I have another mystery to solve" which he didn't solve and to me it seems like Gosho forgot all about it.
Every once in a while (at least before episode 345) Haibara thought something mysterious like she was hiding something, but now we don't get more clues, like either Gosho forgot, or he doesn't have more clues.
Conan must know that Haibara still hides things. and I've come with a good way for him to make her talk
Conan calls Jodie sensei
Conan: Jodie, I found a way to reveal the true identity of the organization and who the boss is, *he pauses dramatically* but I need your help...
Later in Agasa's house. Agasa is out and suddenly Conan and Jodie enter and Haibara looked surprised.
Haibara: What are you doing here?
Conan: Haibara, it is time for you to talk...
Haibara: about what?
Conan: About the organization.
Haibara: I already told you everything I know
Jodie comes from behind and holds Haibara and Conan pulls out a feather
Conan: Then I guess that..........I have no choice.
He starts to tickle her with the feather until she reveals all of her secrets.
Jodie sensei doesn't really know what's with Haibara and the organization so it can't really work. But still...the thought is amusing.
