Chapter 14 Still Can't Believe Us?
Liushuiting, this is a sushi restaurant. It is very popular because of its unique way of delivery. Because it is unmanned, and the sound insulation of the room is very good, many meetings or other secret events are always prone to occur here. This time, a murder occurred here.
Looking at the "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri" sitting there talking, I suddenly had the urge to roll my eyes. The criminal was too unlucky, or too careless, leaving so many flaws. After the crime was revealed, he said something about "If it weren't for the sauce of puffer fish, I would have committed a perfect crime". This guy didn't know at all. Because it was a frontal assassination, the victim's blood would definitely be found on the clothes he wore when he killed someone. This is the most decisive evidence.
"Ah, it's a rare day off, why didn't I go out with Conan and the others?" On Sunday morning, while having breakfast, Mikako asked Xiao Ai strangely.
"I've been less in contact with him lately because he may have doubted me." After drinking a sip of milk, Xiao Ai said lightly.
"But, with that guy's personality, you can't hide it for long." I said to Xiao Ai.
"I know this too," Xiao Ai replied lightly. "I am looking for an opportunity to tell him about this, but before that, I want to scare that guy, at least give me a warning, otherwise it would be too dangerous with that guy's character."
"Do we need our cooperation?" Seeing that Xiao Ai actually smiled, Mikako asked happily.
"No need, I want to hide everything you know about this. After all, that guy has concealed it from his relatives around him." Xiao Ai replied.
"Xiao Ai, have you finally admitted that we are relatives?" I asked happily when I heard her words, but Xiao Ai did not answer me and was still having a quiet meal. Okay, I'll just treat it as a default.
"That's right. It's almost winter. I'm going to buy some clothes for Xiao Ai, Xing, please ask me for a leave." Mikako said to me with a smile.
A few days later, when school was over, Xiao Ai did not go home directly, but came to Dr. Agasa's house.
"Oh? It's Xiao Ai." Although Dr. Agasa was a little strange, he still greeted him very friendly.
"Dr. Agasa, I'm here this time to talk to you about Shinichi Kudo." After closing the door, Ai said straight to the point.
Hearing this sentence, Dr. Agasa was obviously not prepared. Although Conan had already suspected Xiao Ai a few days ago, he did not expect that Xiao Ai could directly find him to make it clear.
"APTX-4869, this is the name of the medicine Conan took, and I invented it." Another bomb, and the doctor is obviously stunned now.
Then, Xiao Ai said about why she fled from the organization and how she escaped from the organization: "...That's it. I was adopted, which was also an accident. However, I used hacking technology to forge a document of my identity, but they still don't know anything. I think the reason is probably the same as Shinichi Kudo."
"Then... do you have any plans?" The information he received was digested, but the doctor was still very alert.
"I didn't want to tell you that after escaping, I just wanted to live a stable life. You didn't know the strength of the organization at all," Xiao Ai said with a wry smile, "but Shinichi Kudo seems to have doubted me, and with his reckless personality, it is likely that I will be in danger, so..."
"So you just want to stay out of it, right?" the doctor continued, with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"If Kudo Shinichi needs the antidote of APTX-4869, if I can provide experimental equipment, I can also conduct research. Although I invented this medicine, it is still a test product after all, and it is a very special case to achieve this effect." Xiao Ai replied, "As for being out of the matter? This is no longer possible. I just ask that Kudo guy not be so impulsive anymore. I don't want to implicate others because of me..."
"You can do experiments with me, and I still have basic equipment," said the doctor, looking at Xiao Ai's eyes, and there was also sympathy and kindness. "As for Shinichi's personality... I honestly don't think it can be changed easily. Even the last time his parents and I scared him up in acting, he is still like this now."
"Is that true?" Xiao sighed, "I originally had the same idea, but it seems that it is not possible now. Maybe he can't be scruples until the important people around him die because of his personality..."
"Do you think... this is not possible. I won't let you do this!" The doctor seemed to think of something and said loudly.
"Don't think of me so cold-blooded. I won't use that method. After all, if I do it, Kudo and I will be enemies." Xiao Ai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, scare him again, but this time it can't be that simple..."
"ah--!"
A scream suddenly woke me up. It was Xiao Ai! I immediately jumped out of bed, pulled up a nightgown and rushed to the door of Xiao Ai's room as fast as possible. I quickly opened the door. In the darkness, I could vaguely see Xiao Ai sitting on the bed, gasping heavily.
"Bang"
When I reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, I suddenly felt a dazzling feeling, not because of the faint light emitted by the bedside lamp, but Xiao Ai's eyes full of horror.
"What's wrong?" Mikako also ran in. Seeing Xiao Ai's expression, she immediately rushed over and hugged the poor girl. The girl who was hugged subconsciously wanted to struggle, but saw Mikako who was worried and sad, and while relaxing, she subconsciously smiled bitterly.
"Have you had a nightmare?" I asked softly, but with Mikako's vicious look, I touched my nose, suddenly thoughtful, and asked, "Xiao Ai, does your APTX-4869 have an antidote?"
When Xiao Ai heard my question, he was shocked: 'Can he be monitoring me? Otherwise, how could he know that I had agreed to Dr. Agasa to study the antidote?'
"Is that true? Ai?" Mikado asked without doubting him, but instead questioned.
"No, maybe there may be, but at least not now." This answer contains two attributes: "abnormal" and "sending a stone to ask for directions".
"This is strange..." I was thinking.
"What's wrong? Xing?" Mikako appeared again as the questioner.
"Remember my strange behavior when we surveyed the Cupo Building a few days ago? I didn't answer you at that time, because I thought it was a bit incredible, but if there was an antidote to that medicine, everything I saw would be explained clearly." I explained.
What I said about surveying the Kuroto Building a few days ago is because in a few days, the memorial service of the famous director Akira Kaoru will be held here. The director’s friendship is very broad, so a large group of celebrities will arrive at the memorial service. However, our purpose is not to be a security guard. There is a politician named Shigehiko Tsukura who participated in the memorial service. Because it involves the rice flower construction case some time ago, although there is insufficient evidence now, everyone knows that his imprisonment is only a matter of time. In order to avoid being killed and silenced, we naturally have to protect him in all aspects.
"Yes, that day you went to the wine cellar and climbed up to the top of the stairs. I asked you but didn't say it. Did you say you've seen it again?" Well, we are worthy of being a couple, and we cooperated so well, Mikako.
"Well." I nodded, "That day, I had entered the lobby and saw the back of a little girl. This back looked very much like Xiao Ai. I knew it wasn't dazzled, so I subconsciously chased her and ended up chasing her all the way to the wine cellar. When I came to the wine cellar, the girl had disappeared. In my eyes, a girl in work clothes and at least eighty-small like Xiao Ai struggled to climb into the chimney of the fireplace. I knew that the chimney led to the roof, but when I came to the roof, I only saw blood on the ground and a pile of messy footprints on the snow. When I returned to the wine cellar, I could only see a fire."
"Then... that Xiao Ai..." When she heard my words, Mikako was already panicked. She hugged Xiao Ai tightly, looked up at me from time to time, and then looked at Xiao Ai in her arms, with a nervous look on her face.
"What are you talking about? Can you explain it?" Xiao Ai was very calm, but there was a lot of curiosity in his eyes when he looked at me.
"...That's it, this is also a special ability." I explained my "sense of déjà vu", but this time I lied. The strange movement that day was just a whim, and I wanted to take the opportunity to simulate the scene.
"That is, I will die there, will I?" When I said this, Xiao Ai's smile full of despair and self-deprecating appeared again.
"No, Xiao Ai," Mikako said softly, stroking Xiao Ai's hair, "What Hide can see is the 'possible' scene in the future. Of course we can stop all this from happening. As long as you don't go to Kuroto Building, wouldn't it be fine?"
Xiao Ai nodded and was silent for a while. Then she raised her head and said to me with a smile: "Xing, I am very interested in your 'special ability' now. If you have the chance, let me study it?"
Although Xiao Ai was smiling on her face, we only saw the force, but we didn't say much, because we knew Xiao Ai. No matter what we said, we were useless to say anything, and we could only rely on her to get it out.
However, this trouble caused Xiao Ai to catch a cold. It was impossible for us to ask for leave to take care of her. The reason was the cup household. However, Xiao Ai said that this was just a mild cold that caught a cold, but she had a fever, and she didn't even count the virus cold, and she couldn't even ask for leave from the school.
Well, you're a MD, and we believe in you.
"Well, it's snowing?" Just before getting on the bus, Mikako suddenly remembered something when she saw the falling snowflakes and said to me with some concern: "We want to be bodyguards today, so I won't go back tonight. I wonder if Xiao Ai can take good care of herself, after all, she still has a fever."
"I have arranged everything at home, no problem." I comforted Mikako.
Then, my phone suddenly rang, and when I heard the sound coming from the phone, my heart suddenly hangs...
