"Bah..."
Seeing the bright red blood being pumped from his arm into a huge needle, the blood on Conan turned a lot whiter.
"There's so much need to smoke! I'm a child now!"
Conan complained.
Even if you are an adult, you should not draw more than 400 milliliters of blood at a time. A child's body is still growing, so it is even more unsuitable to draw too much blood. But looking at the needle in Haiyuan Ai's hand, it took a lot of blood out of him. One hundred milliliters of blood, right?
"Shut up!"
Haiyuan Ai held a big syringe in her hand and said coldly, she would stab Conan again if he kept talking.
Conan shut his mouth knowingly, and after watching Haihara Ai preserve his blood in a test tube and refrigerate it, he asked: "You and I are in the same situation, why don't you use your blood as a sample?"
"I am small now, and drawing too much blood is not good for my health."
Haihara Ai answered straightforwardly.
What about my body? My body doesn’t matter, right?
The corners of Conan's eyes were beating wildly.
Dr. A Li on the side did not speak for Conan, but looked at Haiyuan Ai's skillful movements and praised: "Is your name Xiao Ai? Xiao Ai, your skills are very skillful!"
"It's nothing, it's just that practice makes perfect."
Haibara Ai's attitude towards Dr. A Li is much better. After all, Dr. A Li has never offended her, and she is borrowing Dr. A Li's territory now. Of course, she has to be nice to Dr. A Li.
From the equipment point of view, if you want to re-develop "APTX4869", of course it is best to work at Suzuki Biopharmaceutical Company of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, but under Suzuki Biopharmaceutical Company is a biopharmaceutical company under the name of the organization where Miyano Shiho worked, although now Miyano Shiho changed his appearance drastically and became Haibara Ai, but there was no guarantee that Miyano Shiho's former acquaintances wouldn't notice something.
Moreover, there are so many people at Suzuki Biopharmaceutical Company that it is difficult to give Haibara Ai space to perform alone. It is also a very eye-catching thing for an eight-year-old girl to frequently enter and leave the laboratory of a high-tech biopharmaceutical company, so after After repeated thoughts and discussions, Haihara Ai used Dr. Ali's house as a laboratory for the development of "APTX4869".
Anyway, Dr. Ali has all kinds of miscellaneous equipment at his home. If he doesn't have it, Dr. Ali can make it now. Although the conditions are worse than those of Suzuki Biopharmaceutical Company, there is no decisive difference, and there is no big problem in using it.
Seeing Haibara Ai start analyzing blood samples, Edogawa Conan, who didn't understand Haibara Ai's operation at all, shook his head and wanted to leave the laboratory.
"Edogawa, this is just for this week. From now on, you will have to draw blood like this once a week. Remember to eat more blood supplements when you go back, otherwise frequent blood draws will cause you to have physical problems."
Haihara Ai, who was standing on a stool using a microscope to observe blood samples, turned her back to Conan and said.
Again?
Conan's somewhat pale face suddenly darkened, and he said with a dark face, "Should I thank you for caring about my body?"
"You're welcome. I'm mainly worried about how your weakened body will affect the quality of your blood."
Hui Yuan Ai said calmly.
"You black-hearted scientist!"
Conan was indignant, but Haibara Ai was observing blood samples, and her future recovery depended on her current work. Conan, who could not disturb her work, left the laboratory angrily.
"Shinichi!"
Dr. Ali, who noticed that Conan was in a bad mood, chased him out. Before leaving the laboratory, he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ai, Shinichi is in a bad mood, so his attitude is a bit bad. Don't take it to heart." !”
Hui Yuan Ai said indifferently: "It's okay, I do have some responsibility for him becoming like this, and I was indeed a core member of a criminal organization and helped the organization do a lot of things. He is a detective who is at odds with criminals. , it’s normal to hate me, I don’t like him anyway.”
"this……"
Looking at the two people who were hostile to each other, Dr. Ali smiled bitterly, shook his head, and left the laboratory.
Forget it, as an old man, he had better leave things alone. He could tell that Hui Yuan Ai was also a good boy. After all, when he came here, Hui Yuan Ai helped him clean up his house, and he had modern young girls. Rarely diligent and capable.
And he is also a (third-rate) scientist, and he knows the pain of scientists. Sometimes... no, most of the time, people who do scientific research cannot help themselves.
Which scientist does not devote himself to scientific research with a beautiful vision of benefiting mankind, but ends up becoming a consumable in the hands of capital?
If it weren't for the funding from relatives at home without any consideration of return, Dr. Ali would probably have to bow down to capital and do some research that he was unwilling to do to support his family. Therefore, for Haibara Ai who developed "APTX4869" for the black organization, Ah Li Dr. Li really couldn't hate her, but felt pity for her.
The morning passed in a blink of an eye. Hui Yuan Ai, whose stomach was growling with hunger, reluctantly put down her work, stood up on tiptoes, opened the door of the laboratory and walked out.
No matter what you do, you must have a full meal first. Only when you have a full meal can you have the strength to do research!
Coming down from the stairs, Conan, who was a little tired from having his blood drawn, was lying on the sofa bored. When he saw Haibara coming down, he immediately became energetic: "How is it?"
He had been waiting for the good news from Haiyuan Ai all morning, hoping that she, the developer of "APTX4869", would come up with some different findings after studying his blood samples, which might help him return to his original body quickly.
Hui Yuan Ai took off her mask and let out a long breath. When she heard Conan's rude words, she frowned and said, "Do you think this is solving elementary school math problems? The results can be obtained so quickly! Just wait, I will use you. Several sets of control experiments were done on blood samples, and the results will have to wait until tomorrow."
After a pause, Haiyuan Ai turned to Dr. A Li and said, "This morning I recorded all the information about 'APTX4869' in my memory on the computer. Doctor, please don't touch that computer from now on."
"Of course, from now on you can use the computer in the laboratory alone."
Dr. A Li is very generous and honest.
Dr. Ali, whose family has a big capitalist, said it was just a computer, no big deal!
"Thanks!"
Haihara Ai nodded to Dr. A Li.
"Hey, can I just wait and see? Isn't there any way to speed up the experiment?"
Conan said quite resentfully.
Haibara Ai frowned, and she looked at Conan with an unkind expression: "Edogawa, my name is Haibara Ai now. You can call me 'Haihara', but please don't call me 'Hey'."
Conan also noticed that he had always been rude to Haihara Ai, mainly because he had always regarded Haihara Ai as a criminal who helped the black organization develop harmful poisons. It was strange that he had a good attitude. After being pointed out by Haihara Ai, He reluctantly restrained himself: "Huiyuan, is there no way to speed up the research progress?"
"It's not that easy!" Haihara Ai said without any hesitation, "'APTX4869' was researched since my parents' time. Until my parents passed away and the research was sealed, this research has been carried out for many years, several years. I restarted this research a while ago and invested a lot of time and energy to iterate to the current 'APTX4869'. With our current hardware and software that are far inferior to the organization, even if I have great abilities, it is impossible to just rely on a few A sporadic memory can catch up with the organization’s years of research in a short period of time.”
"Then what should I do? You can't really let me grow it back naturally, can you?"
Conan was anxious, he didn't want to be Kudo Shinji or Kudo Conan at all.
"Um... wait!" Haiyuan Ai suddenly remembered something, touched his chin and thought, "I remembered that a few years ago, some information about 'APTX4869' was lost. I searched all over the laboratory and couldn't find it. I found it, but now that I think about it, I may have mistaken that information for something else and sent it to my sister.”
"real?"
Conan said excitedly.
"That should be the case." Haiyuan Ai nodded, "Although that information is from a few years ago, if I can get it back, and use it as a basis and use my existing experience as a guide, it will save a lot of trial and error. It should be possible to develop an antidote for 'APTX4869' in a very short period of time."
"Then let's go find your sister quickly and get that information!"
Conan was very excited, as if his six-headed body was already close at hand.
"Are you an idiot?" Haiyuan Ai looked at Conan with disdain, "After my sister escaped from the organization, the organization must have cleared away everything about my sister. How could that information be in my sister's hands?"
"..."
Conan, who was overjoyed for nothing, immediately turned down his face.
"But I remember that my sister was still in college at that time, and the information was sent to her school, so the information was probably not in my sister's personal belongings, but was still with her university teacher."
Huiyuan Ai said again.
"Very good!"
Conan jumped up again.
"But after so many years, it's still a question of whether that information is still there, but don't let it be cleared away as useless."
Huihara Ai expressed concern again.
"..."
Another basin of cold water was poured on Conan's head.
"But I don't think so. The teacher at my sister's university has a very good relationship with her. It can be said that they are like father and daughter. So for my sister's things, the university teacher probably won't throw them away easily, and may keep them well. "
Hui Yuan Ai continued, and then seeing Conan's mediocre reaction, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What? Are you unhappy?"
Conan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I will let you mess with my mentality?"
Tsk, there’s no time to play anymore so soon…
Hui Yuan Ai said expressionlessly: "Who has messed with your mentality? I just told the truth about the information I know and some conjectures."
Conan is too lazy to expose her. The most important thing now is to quickly find Miyano Akemi's university teacher and obtain the information of "APTX4869" from him.
"Who is your sister's college teacher?"
Conan asked Haibara lamenting.
"It's Masami Hirota, a professor at Nanyang University."
Hui Yuan Ai replied.
"Hirota Masami... Hirota Masami..." Conan felt that the name seemed familiar, and then quickly realized, "Hirota Masami! Isn't this your sister's previous pseudonym?"
The names Hirota Masami and Hirota Masami have the same Roman pronunciation.
Haiyuan Ai nodded: "Yes, my sister used the name of the professor who treated her like a daughter as her pseudonym."
"It's okay for your sister to commit crimes in the name of someone who is as close to her as her father."
Conan said in a sarcastic tone.
Conan was not familiar with Haihara Ai's sister. He only knew that she was a low-level member of the black organization and one of the criminal members of the bank robbery case that Yan Kai encountered. Her senses were naturally not good.
"Shinichi!"
Dr. A Li on the side couldn't help but called Conan.
Conan immediately stopped talking when he heard Dr. Ali's call, but it was already too late.
He said that he could do it, but Haiyuan Ai did not allow anyone to talk about his sister!
Haiyuan Ai stared at Conan with terrifyingly gloomy eyes: "People like you who have been cared for by your parents since childhood and who were born in a privileged and free family simply don't understand that during that time in the bank, it was my sister. It’s the rare time after adulthood that you can live like a normal person...forget it, what am I talking about to you, a detective who doesn’t eat the fireworks of this world!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.
She skipped lunch and went back to do experiments!
"Why……"
Dr. A Li shook his head.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same, especially for people like Conan who have never suffered any setbacks since childhood. It is difficult to empathize with people like Haibara Ai who have no choice but to become a criminal tool.
He wanted to talk some truth to Conan, but he remembered that Conan was a very stubborn person. If Conan hadn't experienced his truth personally, Conan wouldn't be able to listen to it, so he could only sigh.
"Doctor, let's go to Nanyang University to find Professor Masami Hirota and find the information on 'APTX4869' from him!"
Conan said to Dr. Agasa.
"Okay Shinichi..."
Hui Yuan Ai, who was walking on the stairs, suddenly turned back: "Outdated detective, if you want to die, don't drag others with you."
"What do you mean?"
Conan was stunned.
"I know my sister's network well, and the organization only knows it better than me. Professor Hirota is one of the people who has the best relationship with my sister. Now my sister is missing. Although the organization suspects that it was someone from the police, but It's not impossible for my sister to escape on her own, so Professor Hirota's house is probably being monitored by people from the organization. If you hurried up and asked Professor Hirota for my sister's things, aren't you just asking for it? And holding a treble What’s the difference between Xiao Xiao saying that he has a relationship with my sister? Does it mean he’s not conspicuous enough in front of the organization?”
Hui Yuan Ai said without mercy.
Conan's face turned red after being taught a lesson by Haiyuan Ai. His decision just now was indeed too hasty. He could only bite the bullet and ask Haiyuan Ai: "What else should I do? I have to get the information on 'APTX4869', right?" …”
"So let someone else get it."
Hui Yuan Ai took out her mobile phone and cleared her throat: "Hey, is this brother Yan Kai? I have something to ask you for help here..."
After telling Wanyan Kai the address of Professor Guangtian, Haiyuan Ai put down the phone and looked at Conan with contempt: "Such dangerous things must be done by people who are not afraid of danger. What else can you do except risking death?" What are you doing? Edogawa, think about what you are like now, isn't it the end of your being a hero?"
Conan's face turned green and red, but he couldn't say anything to refute. Dr. Ali scratched his face in embarrassment, but he couldn't help but applaud Haibara Ai's words in his heart.
That’s right, that’s how it should be!
