Kudo Shinichi, who didn't like the names "Kudo Conan" and "Kudo Shinji", hung up the phone angrily. He could tell that his mother didn't want to spend the money.
That's right, this is 100 million U.S. dollars. Even if Kudo Yusaku is a famous writer with an annual income of close to one billion yen, it will take him more than ten years of hard work to earn it, and it has only been in the past ten years that Kudo Yusaku has truly become a famous writer. Their family may really not be able to afford so much money.
But Kudo Yukiko’s disgusting attitude...
Ahhhhhhh, so hot!
Edogawa Conan was agitated.
Mao Lilan comforted Edogawa Conan and said: "Shinichi, it's okay. Let's try to find clues to the men in black organization. Aren't you a detective? The fate of a detective is to fight against those dark organizations! "
"But……"
But I’m still not a famous detective like this...
Edogawa Conan wants to cry but has no tears.
He wanted to track down the men in black organization, but what could he do with his body like a peacock?
"It's okay, Shinichi, your body is not good, but I can be your body!" Mao Lilan said to Edogawa Conan seriously, "Shinichi, your body is not good, but your mind is still there, I can be your body. Act on your behalf!"
"Xiaolan..."
Edogawa Conan was extremely moved. He had become like this, and his recovery was far away, but Xiaolan was still willing to accompany him like this. He was really touched, but...
What do you mean by saying "I'm not doing well"? I, I... Even if I really can't do it, you don't have to say it!
Edogawa Conan was moved and felt deep sadness in his heart.
He hates this body that can't do anything!
"Moori-kun will stand in front of everyone, and Kudo-san will act as Mouri-san's think tank? This is a good combination, at least it will be much more reliable than before you became smaller."
Yan Kai agreed with the method proposed by Mao Lilan.
Previously, Kudo Shinichi went to follow the man in black alone, without even a lookout companion. Now he was slapped with a sap. This shows that you should wear a helmet not only when fishing, but also when you go out!
Mao Lilan, who received the support of Yan Kai, clapped her hands happily and said: "Yes, that's right, that's it, it's decided! Xinyi, from now on we will investigate the case together and track down the men in black organization!"
"But Xiaolan, isn't this very dangerous for you?"
Edogawa Conan worriedly said that it didn't matter if he himself was in danger, but he definitely didn't want Mao Lilan to be in danger as well.
"Xinyi, what are you talking about!" Mao Lilan said angrily, "Aren't you in danger? Now that you are like this, can I still put myself in a safe place with peace of mind and silently watch you take risks? Aren't we... ahem, aren't we childhood sweethearts who grew up together? When you encounter difficulties, you have to let me face it with you!"
"Xiaolan..."
Mao Lilan had already said this, and Edogawa Conan, who felt that if he didn't promise himself that he would never get anything good in the future, could only nod his head: "Okay, then let's cooperate."
"Great Shinichi, you finally agreed!" Mao Lilan laughed happily, then narrowed his eyes and said to Conan Edogawa threateningly, "Since you have agreed, you will encounter dangerous things in the future. You are not allowed to bury your head, you must call me, do you hear me!"
"Yes Yes Yes Yes……"
Edogawa Conan was forced into a corner by Mao Lilan's gaze. He could only nod his head in agreement and said at the same time: "But when the time comes, Xiaolan, you must obey my command."
When it comes to the energy to charge when faced with danger, Conan Edogawa feels that Mao Lilan is actually no worse than him at all, and it’s really not like the whole family refuses to enter the house.
"By the way, if you really plan to investigate the men in black organization..." Yan Kai took out a business card from his arms, "Here's this for you."
"What's this?"
Edogawa Conan wanted to get the business card, but Mao Lilan took it first.
"Her Majesty the Queen of the Metropolitan Police—Yakushiji Ryoko..."
Mao Lilan looked at the business card and read it out. She looked up at Yan Kai: "What is this?"
Is this person serious about printing "Her Majesty the Queen" directly on his business card?
But Yakushiji Ryoko...this name seems a bit familiar.
"If you want to fight against a powerful mysterious organization, the power of the Metropolitan Police Department is indispensable to you. Therefore, you need a person with huge energy in the Metropolitan Police Department to be your supporter and support you. Provide official power. If you find clues about the Men in Black organization, you can report it to the Yakushiji Counselor, and she will take over the subsequent investigation. After she cracks the Men in Black organization, you can find a way to get it from her. The medicine that made Kudo-san smaller is a very simple thing."
Yan Kai said to Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan.
Mao Lilan worried: "But didn't Yuanzi say that there is a protective umbrella for the men in black organization in the Metropolitan Police Department? Even if we report the clues to the counselor of Yakushiji Temple, will she ignore the clues we reported? Or even Shall we take action?"
"I think you can rest assured that she won't be like this." Yan Kai said with certainty, "Because this Counselor of Yakushiji Temple is a very special existence in the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Is she particularly upright?"
Mao Lilan asked.
She remembered who Ryoko Yakushiji was. The newly promoted female detective of the Metropolitan Police Department. After taking office, she solved many major cases and became the darling of the news media instead of Kudo Shinichi.
It is said that in the cases she handled, no matter what kind of person the target was, even high-ranking government officials, she would always be brought to justice.
"No, she is very domineering."
Yan Kai shook his head.
Her Majesty the Queen, who spends a lot of money with the Metropolitan Police's public funds every day, has never had anything to do with the word integrity.
"..."
Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan were stunned for a moment, what kind of answer is this!
Yan Kai explained: "Because she is very domineering, she does not allow anyone in the Metropolitan Police Department to disobey her. Although the Public Security Department within the Metropolitan Police Department is under the name of the Metropolitan Police Department, it is actually independent of the police department. The authority of the Metropolitan Police Department is even higher than that of the Metropolitan Police Department. I was suppressed by people from the Ministry of Public Security when I sent the photos of the two men in black to the Metropolitan Police Department. It is possible that the protective umbrella behind the organization of the men in black is It’s in the Ministry of Public Security, so this counselor is very much hoping to dig out the Men in Black organization, and then get evidence from the Men in Black organization that they colluded with the Ministry of Public Security, so as to blackmail the Ministry of Public Security into becoming her pawn.”
After listening to Yan Kai's explanation, both Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan's heartbeats slowed down a few beats.
Wait, wait, are we involved in some terrible power struggle?
Both Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan felt like they were in a TV series. Why did what Yan Kai said sound so surreal!
"Otherwise, you are the son of a novelist and the daughter of a (third-rate) detective. Even if you have a chaebol lady supporting you, how likely are you to destroy the seemingly powerful organization of men in black? If you want to achieve your goal, The fastest way is to seek skin from a tiger. That Yakushiji counselor is indeed a careerist, but fortunately there is a certain bottom line. At least I won’t silence you when I’m done with you.”
Yan Kai shrugged.
After Yan Kai said this, Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan also figured out that it would be difficult for them to do it alone, even with a garden. They really needed help from official forces, and the Metropolitan Police Department It’s hard to say how many informants of the Men in Black organization are there. Asking the Metropolitan Police for help rashly might get you into trouble. Compared to other people in the Metropolitan Police, the counselor of Yakushiji Temple may be the most reliable person. After all, for the time being, her interests are consistent with theirs.
only……
"Speaking of which, classmate Yan Kai, how do you know this Counselor of Yakushi Temple?"
Edogawa Conan couldn't help but wonder.
He had admired the Yakushiji Counselor for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to meet her formally, because there was always a "beater to death" who blocked the door and prevented him from entering the crime scene. .
Ever since the "accidental" incident at "Chunguo Pavilion", every time he wanted to encounter a murder case, the tall man who didn't look like a Japanese "beat me to death" would appear in front of him and drive him out of the case. The discovery scene, so although Edogawa Conan met Yakushiji Ryoko from a distance several times, he never formally met her.
"I don't know her either, but the English teacher at the school next door to me works part-time for her, so I asked Teacher Esdeath for her business card."
Yan Kai replied.
Yan Kai had a direct encounter with Yakushiji Ryoko before in "Water Moon Palace". Although he managed to cope with it, he also discovered that the woman's suspicion and intuition were very terrifying. Yan Kai asked himself that he was flawless, but that The woman immediately suspected that she was attracted to him, so Yan Kai had been avoiding direct contact with her.
"Is Teacher Esdeath...that beautiful foreign female teacher?"
Mao Lilan remembered that this Esdeath teacher had gone to the "Chun Guo Pavilion" for dinner with them before. During the "Shuiyue Palace" incident, he also had a battle with "Chu Liuxiang", which revealed his weakness. Mao Lilan's martial arts skills are very impressive.
"Yes, that's her. She now works part-time as a martial arts consultant at the Metropolitan Police Department."
Yan Kai replied.
"Teacher Esdeath's martial arts is so powerful, what did she do before?"
Mao Lilan asked.
It’s shocking enough that Teacher Tiayo is a world-class authority in biological sciences and nanotechnology, but in retrospect, this Teacher Esdeath is also not simple!
"Teacher Esdeath..." Yan Kai thought for a while and said, "She used to join the army."
"Is it just a soldier?" Mao Lilan was still a little confused.
"He's not an ordinary soldier, he's a general!"
Tiayo added.
Yan Kai looked helplessly at Tiayou, who was too honest.
I mentioned it vaguely on purpose. Teacher Tiayu, please don’t make trouble...
"It turns out to be a general! No wonder!"
Only then did Mao Lilan feel that it was a lot more reasonable.
It's just that generals from other countries actually came to Tokyo to work as a martial arts consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department. No, the consultant is only part-time. Her main job is an English teacher at the private Kamijian School...
Mao Lilan swallowed her saliva. The threshold for teachers in this private divine school was too high. They were all world-class authorities and high-end talents like military generals. It was incredible!
Yan Kai covered his face, always feeling that Mao Lilan had misunderstood something. Forget it, he had better not explain, just let her misunderstand like this...
Almost all the things that should be discussed were discussed. Yan Kai was about to stand up and leave. Tiayu suddenly remembered something. She said to Edogawa Conan: "By the way, this Kudo-san, I almost forgot to tell you something very important." thing!"
"Ah? What's going on?"
Edogawa Conan, who was also about to stand up, sat back down again.
"It's still about your physical problem." Tiayu said to Edogawa Conan, "But your physical examination report shows that you are in good health."
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Edogawa Conan asked.
"There is a problem, a big problem. Your body is very unhealthy."
Tiayou said.
Seeing Conan Edogawa's doubts, Tiayu explained: "A child's body is actually very fragile. Even a very lively child will have some damage to his body, but most people can't see it. That's it, but you are different. According to the physical examination report, except for the head trauma, the damage to all parts of the body is minimal. Your body is like a new baby."
"Of course I'm a new born!"
Edogawa Conan smiled bitterly.
It is not an exaggeration to say that what he experienced was like a lifetime ago.
"No!" Tiayu shook his head, "I mean, when you were getting smaller, all the cells in your body should have divided once, and then the new cells formed your current body."
"Uh...is there any problem with this?"
Edogawa Conan asked.
"According to my guess, the principle of the medicine you took may be to induce programmed cell death, but at the same time strengthen the activity of telomerase, thereby increasing the proliferation ability of cells and causing death. But in your body, this medicine It seems like something happened that caused your cells to divide only once and then stop dividing, eventually becoming what you are now.”
"Do you know about cell division?" Tiyayou explained, "Every time a cell divides, it will be accompanied by the loss of part of the telomere repeat sequence. When the telomeres are shortened to a certain extent, the cell will not be able to maintain the normal telomere structure, that is, It means the death of the human body. Each person's cells will divide approximately fifty to sixty times, and the division cycle is two to four years. Now you have consumed one cell division out of thin air. In the long term, you have lost two to four years of life. , so in addition to explaining to you how to restore your body this time, I would also like to remind you that if you have nothing to do, don’t study methods to restore your body to its original state. If something goes wrong accidentally and the cells enter a state of infinite division, you may die!"
Tiayu said a lot before, and Edogawa Conan, who only had high school biology knowledge, was confused. But when Tiayu said that he might die, Edogawa Conan was shocked and finally reacted.
"What!"
