Chapter 146 Karasawa's Three Sides of Life
When Conan rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily, Mao Lilan, who looked sleepy, had just gotten up.
The Maori father and daughter stayed at the police station until the early morning. Conan, who came home early, was also not idle. He pestered Tang Ze with questions related to drugs until very late.
"It's already this point," Mao Lilan yawned and patted his cheek, "I have to make breakfast, and dad will be up soon..."
"Du Tu Tuk Tuk".
There was a soft knocking at the door.
"Karasawa..." Mao Lilan opened the door and was surprised to see her neighbor standing at the door.
"I guess it's time for you to wake up." Karasawa poked his head in, nodded to Conan, and showed the tray in his hand, "Good morning. There are also toast sandwiches in the store. Do you want some coffee? "
"It's too troublesome for you, Tang Ze-kun, we just got up... The time is so accurate, it's amazing." Mao Lilan hurriedly took the plate from Tang Ze's hand. Once again, I feel deeply that Tang Ze is thoughtful and considerate.
Tangze shook his head to express his gratitude, pointed to one of the paper cups, and reminded: "This cup is milk for the children."
Conan, who was half asleep, suddenly woke up and turned his head resentfully, conveying silent condemnation.
No need to be so considerate! If you didn't put a cup of Xiaolan in there, they wouldn't be able to think of this problem!
He also stayed up late yesterday and needed a cup of motivational coffee!
Tangze looked at Conan with a smile for a while. When Conan, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, his eyes became darker and darker, then while Mao Lilan went to the kitchen to cut toast, he lowered his hand and slipped a thermos cup from his sleeve. .
"For you, espresso, double portion." Tangze whispered, unscrewing the lid of the cup, and the faint smell of iced coffee was refreshing, "If they find out Don’t give me away.”
Conan's eyes lit up, and he took it as if he had found a treasure. He smelled the rich aroma of coffee, quickly closed the lid of the cup, and looked at Karasawa's sleeves strangely.
This cup is not too small, it must be 300ml. How did he hide such a big thing in it without revealing any flaws...
"There is news from Search Section 4. Don't forget to inform me." Tangze leaned into Conan's ear and said, "For a college student like President Sawai to have access to it, the chain behind it is not trivial... After all, this is a drug developed by my parents. If it has been produced, It would be too bad if there was widespread addiction.”
Conan hugged the coffee cup in his hand.
Actually, yesterday, he went upstairs and pretended to be asleep, and overheard Uncle Maori's phone conversation... The situation was not very optimistic.
But since the news has not been confirmed yet, there is no need to increase the pressure on Tangze.
His parents are also victims. It is already painful for researchers that products developed for medical purposes are used by organizations.
Conan did not say these words. He looked at Karasawa's bright and pale blue eyes in the morning light, and just nodded solemnly and said: "Wait for my news."

"Where did you get this information...Oh, I almost forgot, you have a good relationship with Tangze."
Conan took the phone handed back by the other party and was slightly excited: "Do you know this medicine?"
"Of course I do." Joker sat lazily among the pillows and patted the cat pillow in his arms twice. "What the organization sells externally is a marketed product that has diluted the active ingredients and added some... natural alkaloids."
"Natural alkaloids..." The term "natural alkaloids..." made Conan frown immediately. Morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl... some not-so-good words slipped through his thoughts one by one.
"And these ingredients are even just a product of them whitewashing the addictive properties of the active ingredients themselves." Joker put down the pillow he flattened, looked directly at Conan, and sat up, "Guess what? "What does the organization use it for?" Conan felt his throat tightening and asked: "...Isn't it just a special sedative?"
"Just developing a special sedative drug, is it worth organizing to kill Tang Ze's parents?" Joker asked.
"It sounds like you understand it very well." Conan glanced at his special hair color and eyes again.
When he arrived, Amamiya Ten, whom he called his sister, happened to be busy installing a mailbox at the door and nailing a name tag with "Amamiya" on the door.
Although I don’t know why she likes to wear such big sunglasses... but in short, she does not have such special genetic characteristics as joker.
Joker put his arms on his knees, leaned forward, and approached Conan's face with a sense of oppression: "Of course I understand. The KA series of drugs are drugs with special stimulation of the brain nerve mechanism. To put it simply, it can temporarily block human consciousness. If used in large doses, it can cause side effects such as amnesia and loss of emotional responses for several hours... Therefore, it is used by organizations for brainwashing, hypnosis and other mental control. With the pre-drug of the method, it becomes extremely easy and simple to directly implant specific instructions and signals.”
"Brainwashing, hypnosis..." Conan repeated in shock.
"Yes, a violent criminal organization has the ability to accurately control people's minds... It sounds incredible, right?" Joker smiled, his red eyes looking like a ghost in the scorching afternoon sun. Two ignited flames, "Otherwise, where did they find so many behind-the-scenes masterminds and firmly pin Tangze to death as a 'juvenile delinquent'?"

"That medicine from yesterday?"
Goro Akechi closed the newspaper in his hand with a snap and looked at Conan sitting opposite.
"Is that why you came to the office to ask me about this?"
Conan, who was sitting across from him, said in a very childlike tone: "Yes! It's Uncle Maori...and Brother Karasawa." , I asked you to ask!"
"Pfft..." Goro Akechi covered his mouth and laughed twice. Although his eyebrows were bent with laughter, the smile was more ironic than joyful. The meaning is stronger, "Okay, this little detective, there is no need to use so many banners to inquire. I think you are curious, right? I understand your yearning for detectives... Since I came to Tokyo, I There is really no free moment, and everyone is busy every day. This kind of security situation can easily give rise to the idea of turning detectives into heroes, but it is really unexpected that such a young child should be a "detective". "
Conan's brows twitched when he heard his long sentence.
Conan had noticed it when he met him at the port before.
But in private contact, this guy could show such a degree of yin and yang aura even to a child... He still didn't expect it.
"Well, for the sake of you making a special trip to find the office. No matter what, the visitor is the guest, and the customer is God." Goro Akechi sighed helplessly, folded the newspaper in half, and threw it away On the desk next to him, "This drug is still under control in Japan. The amount imported through formal import channels every year is very limited, but it is only a little addictive. Its alkaloid content is very low in the United States, where drug abuse is common." , the harm caused is not as great as that of opioids. Let's put it this way, there are even many grassroots drug dealers who will resell KA03 prescriptions as a... promotion method. "
"Promotion... method?" Akechi Goro said this word in conjunction with drug dealer, and Conan's facial features almost twisted together awkwardly.
"Well, because it can improve the 'experience'." Goro Akechi raised his hands, bent the index and middle fingers of both hands, and made a "quotation mark" gesture.
Now Conan's facial features were completely twisted.
"According to what I learned today, it is becoming more and more popular among young people, especially college students." Goro Akechi spread his hands, put his fingers together on the tip of his nose, and made a classic Sherlock Holmes thinking gesture , "Its source cannot yet be found...but I think it is indeed necessary to remind the public of its harmfulness and let its influence continue to expand. That Sawai school is not an exception."
"Remind the public that you want to talk to the media about yesterday's case?" Conan tilted his head strangely, "But didn't you sneak away yesterday because you didn't want to get involved?"
"I do I don’t want to get involved... Hey, I made a special trip back to Japan from the United States just because I don’t want to touch these things. Why are they coming around again?" Akechi Goro shook his head and sighed, which made Conan feel that he was a bit pretentious, "But. There are ways to show your attitude without getting involved."
"What are you going to do?"
"Children, aren't you a child of the Mori detective family?" , the amber eyes reflected the honey-colored luster in the sunset, fully demonstrating his confidence, "Soon, Detective Maori and I will participate in the detective variety show of Nippon TV. Let Mr. Maori pick it up, I Isn’t it natural to give my ‘professional opinion’?”
