"What are you...discussing again?"
At this time, Hui Yuan Ai's voice sounded behind the two of them.
She didn't mean to eavesdrop. In fact, she just came out to make coffee and didn't hear anything. She was so elusive, mainly because she was wearing slippers and made no sound when walking.
but……
I saw Edogawa, who had been missing all day, appear in the living room, and was muttering with the doctor. No matter how I thought about it, the two of them didn't seem to be chatting.
On the sofa, Conan and Dr. Ali stiffened and slowly turned their heads to look.
Those ice blue eyes were as calm as ever, but the slightly narrowed look still betrayed her mood.
"No...nothing..."
The two said in unison, like a pair of children who were about to cause trouble but were caught by their parents.
"..."
Hui Yuan Ai's expression did not change.
Before she could continue to ask, Conan quickly told a lie that was very similar to his own style:
"Actually... I'm here to ask the doctor what Brother Gengyi thinks about the sniper case, because if I go directly to Brother Gengyi about this kind of thing, he definitely won't tell me."
"oh……"
Hui Yuan Ai nodded, accepting this reason.
She didn't ask further questions, turned around and walked to the kitchen to make coffee... She had assisted someone in testing the 'New World' before, but it had left her in a daze for a week. It was a rare summer vacation, even if she was not a scientific research geek, she should review the past and learn new things, and she could not always be immersed in it. in the lives of primary school students.
As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Conan followed behind.
Haiyuan Ai turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"No," Conan scratched his cheek with his index finger, "I just wanted to ask about the progress of the research on the antidote..."
Haihara Ai put the coffee pot on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the detective boy in front of him:
"So you want me to give you a few pills in case you need them?"
"Oh, you are indeed Haiyuan! You got it all right."
Conan said, and stretched out a hand with a smile: "I don't want too many... 10 pills, not 5 pills will be enough..."
Haibara Ai glanced at him and said, neither salty nor cool: "How can 5 pills be enough? Why not just let you permanently return to Kudo Shinichi's appearance."
"Eh?"
Conan was stunned, and instantly turned into ecstasy.
Although many social death experiences occasionally gave him the idea that it would be better not to resume his identity as Kudo Shinichi for the time being, the prerequisite for such a thing was that he would transform back into Edogawa within 24 hours. Conan, now the opportunity to directly restore his original form is right in front of him. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted!
only……
Are you going to give up your identity as Edogawa Conan just like that?
A feeling of reluctance lingered in his heart, but it still couldn't cover up his eagerness to return to Kudo Shinichi.
He passed his outstretched hand forward again:
"Great! So you've already researched it! Then give it to me, I want to try it now!"
Hui Yuan Ai said nothing and pointed at the chopping board next to the stove.
Eh? Up there?
Conan looked around and saw no capsule-like object, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is it?"
"Did you see that kitchen knife?" Haiyuan Ai asked.
kitchen knife?
Conan looked again and nodded: "I saw it..."
Haibara Ai glanced at him sideways: "To put it bluntly, the effect of APTX-4869 is to cause the cells of the human body to react. If you just take an antidote now and wait until you return to Kudo Shinichi's appearance and then commit suicide, you can make the cells stay. It’s that moment.”
"..."
Conan's mouth twitched and he almost bit his tongue: "...What's the point of that!"
Haibara Ai said calmly: "Of course there is. At least that way we can avoid reports that Kudo Shinichi died in a sniper attack on the news one day."
Conan was silent for a moment and complained: "Although you used to be so venomous, I feel that your personality is becoming more and more similar to Brother Gengyi..."
"Yeah?"
Haihara Ai stopped teasing, took out instant coffee and sugar cubes from the cabinet, and put them into the coffee pot.
"Maybe it's because I like my current life better."
There wasn't much emotion in her tone:
"You may not believe it, but if I hadn't been worried that the medicine that made the two of us look like this would have unknown side effects and lead to our sudden death one day, maybe I would have stopped researching the antidote..."
"Uh..." Conan's eyes flashed slightly, he opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"That would be nice too."
Haibara Ai smiled and said: "Besides, I think you have adapted to the identity of Edogawa Conan very well recently, haven't you?"
"Please, if it can be completely restored, of course I want to recover." Conan was helpless.
"So since you have this idea, don't always think about the antidote," Haihara Ai said: "Otherwise, even if I really develop a finished product one day, the antibodies in your body will prevent it from working."
"Yes Yes……"
Conan nodded reluctantly.
Does he want the antidote just for emergencies? Well... although there are a little more 'unexpected needs'...
"Okay, I still have to do the experiment."
Haiyuan Ai filled the coffee pot with hot water and reminded her before turning around and walking away, "Brother Gengyi said you were 'disobedient', so I'm not going to persuade you, but don't let the doctor take you to do dangerous things." Investigation, even as a retired officer from the former Navy SEALs, is not something he can handle.”
"I got it……"
Conan spread his hands, watched Hui Yuan Ai's back disappear from the bedroom door, and sighed helplessly.
Brother Geng said he was disobedient...
But what can I do? Although I have to admit that being a detective is my driving force, if there are many capable people like Brother Geng in the police and FBI, I won't have to spend so much time investigating a case after it happens.
He returned to the living room and saw Dr. A Li leaning sideways, looking here with a strange expression.
"PhD?"
"Well……"
Dr. A Li came back to his senses and pointed in the direction of Haihara Ai's bedroom, "You guys... had a quarrel?"
"It should be said that I was tricked by her."
Conan didn't really want to talk about that topic. After confirming that Mitsuhiko and the others would come to the doctor's house tomorrow to do their summer homework, he said goodbye and left.
"..."
late at night.
A strong and agile figure quietly climbed into the wall of No. 22.
Masumi Sera, a high school sophomore who is temporarily living in the hotel, Kanter found nothing unusual after a follow-up investigation.
In fact, Kanter already had a guess when he saw the hotel.
Because no matter how well hidden he was, it was impossible for Timothy Hunter to live in the hotel.
So, he turned to 2-chome, where the big-headed kid who also appeared at the sniper point entered.
This is a private house, so just try your luck... you may have unexpected gains.
