Chapter 42 Elegance
After Haihara Ai sat down, he put his schoolbag on the table, took out a magazine and read through it.
Koji Shimizu glanced at the cover of the magazine, the latest weekly magazine on trendy women's clothing. He could guarantee that there was absolutely no such magazine here before.
Dr. A Li came over soon with a tray and placed a cup of steaming tea in front of each of the three people. He sat down opposite Conan.
There was a brief silence in the air, and Conan's scalp was numb at this time.
He somewhat hoped that Haiyuan was really who she said she was, but he felt that it was a bit unreliable and that he had been tricked.
Because Shimizu Koji, Dr. Agasa, and Haibara Ai obviously all know each other.
But he also forgot that his identity as Kudo Shinichi was only known to the doctor. In general, Conan was a little confused and confused now.
Wow——, under the gaze of several people, Hui Yuan Ai was flipping through the magazine as if no one else was watching.
While she was turning the page, she finally spoke softly, "What, don't you have anything to ask?"
In fact, Dr. Ali really didn't have anything to ask, while Koji Shimizu was reviewing and recalling the situation on the day he picked up Xiao Ai in his mind.
Of course, he had no distracting thoughts, he was just verifying and thinking about some details.
However, if Huihara Ai on the side knew that he was thinking about these things, he might not be so calm.
"Who are you? Why do you appear at the doctor's house?"
"I already told you my identity on the road just now. As for why I appear here, he picked me up."
"he?"
Haibara Ai did not specify who it was, but after Conan was briefly confused, he thought she was talking about Dr. Agasa.
But then, he realized it wasn't.
"You may not know yet, but our organization has actually sent investigators to your home twice before to investigate."
"Because among all the people who drank that drug, you are the only one, and it has not been determined whether you died or not."
Conan's eyes trembled, but Haiyuan Ai didn't raise his head and just continued talking.
“And as the inventor of the drug, naturally I went along with it.
At that time, although your house was covered with dust and looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, for the first time, we found nothing.
The second time, the situation in your home remained unchanged. Even I thought you were dead. However, when I discovered the subtle changes in the wardrobe, my mind changed. "
Shimizu Koji took a sip of hot tea and listened carefully. Conan's fearful eyes made him find it a little interesting because he had never seen it before.
"Do you know why?"
"Because, all your childhood clothes are gone, which were still there a month ago.
When we were developing drugs, we conducted a lot of animal experiments, and that kind of drug once made the bodies of mice smaller.
Then, it is not difficult for a hypothesis to be established in my mind - Kudo Shinichi may have become a child. "
The back of Conan's short-sleeved shirt was soaked with cold sweat. He never thought that his shrinkage would be so clear from the other person's perspective.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Conan lowered his head. He no longer dared to face the next facts.
"Then, you, the people in the organization, already know that I have become smaller."
"Oh, thank me. I have already written confirmation of death on your information."
At this time, Haibara Ai did not continue to speak as Conan wanted. Qingshui Koji noticed the change in her expression, as if she was just talking about a very ordinary thing.
But at this time, he was no longer afraid to speculate with the greatest malice.
Haibara Ai deliberately told it in this order that made Conan tremble.
As expected, just as Conan heaved a sigh of relief, Haihara Ai turned over a page of the magazine and added abruptly:
"However, if the organization later learns that the information was changed by a traitor like me, it will most likely suspect you again."
"Betrayer?" Conan looked like a frightened repeater.
"Because I am dissatisfied with the organization's unauthorized use of drugs that are still in the testing stage for human experiments, but the biggest reason is because of my sister."
"She has been killed, and she was killed by someone from the organization."
"May I ask, what is your sister's name?"
Shimizu Koji's sudden intervention surprised both Haihara Ai and Conan.
Haiyuan Ai turned his eyes and glanced at Qingshui Koji's still expressionless face.
"Miyano Akemi."
There was no change in her tone, she just thought about her investigations over the past two days.
"The whereabouts of billion-dollar robber Masami Hirota are unknown"
To be honest, she was a little bit lucky when she saw the news headlines at first, but at the same time she also knew that there was no way her sister was still alive.
Dr. Agasa: How did Koji and Shinichi meet?
It seems to be related to your organization. After Ms. Masami passed away, Shinichi specifically lent his house to Koji for a temporary stay.
When Conan heard the name Miyano Akemi, the suspicion that had just appeared in his mind was immediately dispelled.
He was in shock at the moment, but he still gave Qingmizu Koji a comforting look.
However, compared to Conan, who only knew the name Masami Hirota, Koji Shimizu's mood was no longer calm at this time, but there was nothing strange on his face.
Conan looked towards him, and he could still shake his head in response.
On the other side, Haiyuan Ai recovered from her brief absence and continued to tell the story.
“Therefore, after my act of resistance and failure to cooperate with the research, the organization imprisoned me.
At that time, I probably had no choice but to die. So, since everyone would be killed, I simply swallowed the aptx4869 I had stored in my body. "
"Fortunately, the medicine I took when I was determined to commit suicide happened unexpectedly. My body shrank completely, and the handcuffs naturally fell off."
"So, my body became smaller and I successfully escaped from the garbage mouth. However, I had nowhere to go after I escaped. At that time, the only thing I could think of was Kudo Shinichi. It’s just you.”
"I think, given our current situation, you should be able to understand what happened to me."
Conan was fine at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't bear it any longer, "Are you kidding me! A guy like you who invented a killing drug—!"
Conan's almost roaring voice made Haihara Ai a little distracted, and he looked away from the magazine for the first time.
But before she turned to look at the furious Conan, a big hand gently fell on her small shoulder from the side.
"Ignore him, he's a little delirious now."
Dr. A Li also quickly tried to persuade Conan.
Normally, as long as Conan is clear-headed, it is certainly not difficult to deduce from what he said before that Haibara Ai was probably forced to develop the drug or for other reasons.
But now, just like Shimizu Koji said, his state is that he is overwhelmed with anger.
Haibara Ai glanced at Conan who was being held by Dr. Ali, turned around, looked at Koji Qingmizu, and silently moved away Koji Qingmizu's hand on her shoulder.
