Chapter 680 Haibara Ai: I feel like the Nobel Prize is coming
“Welcome—Ah, Karasawa-kun is back.”
“Hey, Mr. Amuro didn’t go to work today?” Karasawa When I opened the door of Polo Cafe, I was surprised to see Azusa Enomoto at the counter and looked around.
Having been busy dealing with matters between Belmode and the FBI recently, Karasawa didn't pay attention to Tohru Amuro's movements for several days.
Except for the day of the Halloween party, he and Amuro had some peace of mind, briefly informing him that Belmod was here to arrest the errands and that he was going to take Conan to play disguise and substitute people, and try to find a way to remove Belmode from Japan. He was not told much about the plan to get away.
After all, whether it is Akai Shuichi or Miyano Shiho, Toru Amuro is still the king at this stage. If possible, Karasawa still does not want them to have a fierce conflict now.
It was quite difficult to figure out Akai Shuichi's mysterious family members scattered all over the world. Toru Amuro did not connect the potential connections between them for the time being.
But Akai Shuichi is always hanging around under Amuro Toru's nose. According to the opponent's IQ and horse-picking ability, when will he focus on Iwai Munehisa's fake identity, the uncertainty is extremely high.
Karasawa now hopes that before the two of them collide head-on, Morofuku Kagemitsu, who has returned to the human world, can successfully connect with Fangtani Rei and solve the biggest problem between the two of them.
As for not getting along with each other, it is an innate setting that you guys can't get along with each other in the Gundam. Karasawa doesn't expect them to have any harmonious and friendly relationship, just don't fight to the death.
Thinking of Morofuku Jingguang who was still staying in the stronghold to make up for three years of missed progress, Karasawa felt that it would not be a bad thing not to see Toru Amuro for the time being.
Even if the starting point is good, he has indeed given Fangtani Rei a big job, a big job for one person. He is really afraid that Fangtani Rei's blood pressure will rise, and he will start to clean up from the joker's debut...
"I didn't come to work. He had said hello in advance and said that he had to be busy these two days. It's not easy to be a detective, right?" Azusa Enomoto smiled understandingly and prepared something for Karasawa. A good dinner is served.
When he turned around to serve the curry, Azusa Enomoto couldn't help but think that if his career improved, Mr. Amuro might finally leave officially.
Without this handsome waiter, the cafe's business will be greatly reduced. Not only will she and everyone who frequents the shop feel lonely. But seeing Mr. Amuro develop better, she will definitely be happy for him.
And in that case, it would probably be a good thing for Tang Zejun. The attic of a cafe where people come and go is definitely not a suitable growing environment for high school students.
Mr. Amuro is getting along so well with Karasawa-kun now, so he will definitely not leave him alone.
Putting the curry in front of Karasawa, Azusa Enomoto bent his eyes and gave him a gentle smile.
Everyone, please work hard.
"That's good, uh, I mean, it seems that his office is quite busy, which is a good thing." Karasawa breathed a sigh of relief, put down his commuting bag, and sat down in front of the bar.
"It's okay if he doesn't come today. It's raining so heavily. Even the little girls who want to see the handsome guy don't have time to come over, right?" Azusa Enomoto said, winking at Karasawa.
She heard a little bit of their discussion while delivering the food. In fact, since Karasawa came, in addition to Amuro Toru, Karasawa has also become a very commercially valuable sight, with girls rushing to see him. No less.
The handsome dark-skinned waiter with a gentle and friendly smile, and the beautiful boy sitting quietly reading a book in the cafe without saying a word, each have their own attractions. The cafe is slowly becoming a popular check-in in Mihua Commercial Street. The store is here.
"The rain is quite heavy." Unable to detect the same ridicule towards him from Azusa Enomoto's words, Tangze turned to look at the rain curtain outside the floor-to-ceiling window and seriously suggested, "In that case, Do you want to make a special menu for rainy days or something?”
Enomoto Azusa was stunned and thought about it for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more interesting the idea became and he nodded seriously: “Eh? What’s the idea... Do you have a keen sense of surprise? Tang Zejun, it sounds like he’s the type to make a lot of money in business.”
"Yeah, from the sound of it, it's a product that people will rush to buy, right?" Tang Ze picked up his sugar-sweetened coffee with concern.
No, he has to buy it every rainy day.
Preferably the kind that can increase the HP of teammates after eating it. Other special buffs are also fine. He won’t pick them.
It's very urgent. He has a lot of teammates to train with now. It is still necessary to refresh the impression space in special weather.
Money, he really can’t afford a scanning electron microscope. He doesn’t want to be screwed over by Sister Mingmei, who is outsmarting the bank——

“A sneeze——”
“Xiao Ai? Is your cold still not gone?” Hearing her little sneeze, Yoshida Ayumi hurriedly turned her umbrella around. He looked at Haihara Ai nervously.
Although she has always had a stereotype of the quiet Haibara Ai as being in poor health, and it does not seem strange to be sick for many days, she always feels like she has not seen him for a long time.
The last time I had this feeling was when another boy in the class before Haihara Ai transferred here was diagnosed with a rare disease after being absent from work and was still hospitalized...
Thinking of the possibility of this premonition, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She touched Haihara Ai's hair and neck carefully to see if she had been caught in the rain.
"It's okay, maybe the immunity has not recovered yet." Haihara Ai felt a little embarrassed to be taken care of by a girl in the first grade of elementary school with such concern, "My body is already well."
In the past, she was a researcher who stayed in the laboratory for many years and was in contact with reagents all day long. After becoming a child, her skin became more fragile.
However, now that her sister and Tang Ze pull her to exercise regularly, her physical fitness has improved a lot. As for being forced to take sick leave...
Haihara looked at the culprit sadly.
"You and Haibara were almost kidnapped. It's really scary." Genta Kojima was expressing shock at the new news he heard. "The other party also had a gun, and he was almost kidnapped."
Actually, they have already been captured... although the whole operation was actively planned by them.
Conan laughed a few times in his heart, but kept the same tone on his face: "Yeah, luckily he was saved in the end. Although the prisoner still escaped..."
Use this logic to explain his relationship with Haibara Ai's sudden absence at the same time may sound like an excuse to others, but it makes perfect sense to everyone in the Young Detective Team.
Having long been accustomed to everyone’s accidental nature, none of the elementary school students expressed surprise at their remarks.
It's just that he was kidnapped by the prisoner. Once you get used to it, you'll get used to it.
"But it's great that you two can come back to school. We have been worried about it recently." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was in high spirits, and his rain boots were particularly powerful when stepping into the puddles.
"You two fell ill one after another, and we should have gone to visit." Kojima Mota complained smoothly, "But Conan said that colds are contagious, and we were not allowed to come."
Haihara Ai, who personally gave the instructions, adjusted the angle of the umbrella and said nothing.
At that time, Edogawa Conan was still a larger version of himself, so how could they transform him into a sick Haibara Ai.
Could it be that he was like that guy from Karasawa who changed his identity back and forth? I'm exhausted.
"By the way, how is the progress of your research?" Conan, who had not received any new information from Haibara Ai, asked curiously after mentioning the plan.
After all, it was the sample he had worked so hard to bring back. Even if he didn’t understand the content of Haihara Ai’s research, he still wanted to hear the details.
"The progress is not bad." Mentioning this, Haihara Ai had a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when we could collect so many samples from APTX users."
No, don’t talk about her, I’m afraid even the organization that manufactures the drugs wouldn’t think of it, right?
Now Haibara Ai has the blood of the old version of Belmod, a mature case of taking drugs, the blood of APTX4869 survivor Kudo Shinichi and herself, and using the power of cognitive science, she can temporarily apply the effects of Kudo's medicine to herself. Tangze's blood was on his body.
The required experimental groups, control groups, and various variables were all in place. She had been particularly energetic during the past two days when conducting experiments, feeling that the next Nobel Prize was already in her hands.
Not to mention, the reason why she asked for these things...
"Edogawa, I had concerns before, but I never told you." Lowered his voice again, Haibara Ai used his best strength She said softly in a low voice, "Actually, I've seen that person."
"That person?" Conan, who couldn't easily capture the content of her words, was stunned and didn't realize who she was referring to.
"The BOSS of the organization." When Haihara Ai said these words, only his breath was left.
Even in the pouring rain, on a street with few pedestrians, even in a small space made up of umbrellas, she did not dare to say this word out loud.
That was Shirley's biggest bargaining chip, and it was also the reason why the organization wanted to eliminate her most. That’s the bad part about being the organization’s “personal doctor.” Hui Yuan Ai laughed at himself in his heart.
"What?! Uh..." Conan almost shouted out, but Haihara Ai covered his mouth with a quick response.
"I just knew you would react this way." Haiyuan Ai shook his head, "Don't be so excited."
Tang Ze was very calm when he knew the news. The detective really likes to make a fuss.
"You know such crucial news, then why did you..." Conan looked at Haihara Ai up and down, feeling incredible.
His weirdness is twofold.
Having such insider information, you actually held it back until today? !
What is the organization doing? How dare you fall out with someone who has such insider information? !
“Because this news is of little value now.” Haiyuan Ai sighed.
She also wants to find the biggest mastermind as soon as possible. Tangze has hands and eyes, has connections with intelligence organizations in various countries, and has a detective who is smart enough. When the time comes, he will have the power to strangle the organization. It’s no longer a fantasy.
However, this news has lost its effectiveness.
"What do you mean..." Through Karasawa's explanation, he had already understood that the real purpose of developing drug A was the "side effects" that happened to him. Conan's newly rising mood couldn't help but sink. .
He thought of a certain possibility...
"I mean, I have seen him in the past. He is old, his life hangs by a thread, and he feels like he will die at any time." Haibara Ai He lowered his eyelashes and looked at the brightly colored floor tiles under his feet, which were watered by the rain. "You have seen the true effects of Drug A. I also said that I am not the first developer."
In fact, Haibara Ai, who had brainstormed with Karasawa several times on this point, had a vague idea that the reason why the organization dared to kill her parents without any scruples was precisely because of the development and development of this drug. Iteration is something organizations are familiar with, and top researchers like them can play a big role, but not much.
But this is just a vague guess. She has only had such divergent thoughts and cannot make a conclusion.
"I think he must not be the same as I have seen him." Haiyuan Ai pursed his lips, "I'm afraid, this is his biggest reliance on letting me see him."
She was not sure how many people in the organization had met BOSS, but according to her estimate, it was not as few as expected.
However, she is not sure how many people can still recognize BOSS.
At least, Karasawa told her with certainty that Rum himself was looking for where BOSS is now...
"Do you think he has successfully used this drug?" Conan's fist clenched violently.
"Yes." Haiyuan Ai nodded, and finally revealed what she really wanted to do before the start of this plan, "The two of us are extremely special cases, and I am not sure about our Are the physical changes absolutely consistent with that person? So I have to get a sample of Belmode. She is the only individual I know who has been successful in taking this type of drug for a long time."
"Looking at you, you want to do more research than just studying the principles of APTX." A rare light appeared on her face, and Conan raised his eyebrows.
His companion, who became a child like him, is a sensitive girl with an introverted personality and a bit pessimistic from time to time. Even when she pretends to be a child, the smile on her face is faint and shallow.
She rarely looks like this now, with a resolute expression and shining eyes.
Only at this time can he clearly perceive how confident and proud Miyano Shiho was in the field of scientific research, just like he was in reasoning and solving crimes.
"I think I can find an accurate anchor and make a 'detection method' that can be used to determine whether the other party has taken drug A." Lowering the tip of the umbrella, Haihara Ai revealed There was an extremely confident smile that Tang Ze had seen that night.
She is indeed powerless. Compared to Tang Ze, her sister, and even the detective next to her who has also become a child, she seems to be the passive one.
Being rescued, being sheltered, being taken care of...
What Tang Ze said is right, she should pick up her own weapons, and on the battlefield that only she can enter, Show her strength.
“I will definitely catch them!”
————
"Still didn't catch anything?"
Hearing the sound of the office door being opened behind him, Fangtani asked without turning around as he leaned in his seat with his eyes closed.
"Uh, sorry..." Kazami Yuya, who was striding forward, suddenly became cautious when he heard his cold voice.
Quietly putting down the report, Feng Jian Yuya shut his mouth obediently and had no need to make amends for himself.
There is no way. Some things cannot be done just because they can't be done. No matter how hard you work, you still can't do it. Looking for some excuses now will only add fuel to your boss's unhappiness.
"Huh, forget it, I was too hasty." Jiang Guling exhaled and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Tangze notified him of Belmod's big move in advance. Although he only expressed his knowledge lightly on the face, privately, he wanted him to ignore such a big opportunity and not try it. Why? It’s impossible to even think about it.
He ran to the Halloween party on the cruise ship and was ready to try to arrest Vodka. It was just a side attempt. It was a three-pronged attempt. He didn't hold out much hope.
After investigating the murder on the ship, he finally chose to focus on the puppet murderer who was easily manipulated by Belmode.
As for the wishing website, which is obviously inseparable from the organization, it played a very important role in this case.
Two problems were exposed in this case.
First of all, Belmode’s authority to operate the website is significantly higher than that of ordinary code members.
It is very simple for an organization to send murder tools to the murderer, and the people who work may not know the reason.
After all, for this kind of organization, if the boss assigns you a task to deliver dangerous goods, why would you bother to ask him why he does this?
Such a low-level undercover agent should die quickly in the organization, um... he should.
However, Belmode was able to accurately use this part of the information to arrange a customized murder case according to her own wishes. She must have a deeper understanding of the website than most people.
Secondly, the resources used in this case far exceed those in other similar cases.
The exaggeration is like Moritani Teiji. They all just used the shell of the dark web black market to sell such a large amount of explosives as part of the transaction. Like this case, they caught the murderer and used coercion and inducement in detail. This is the first time that the specific method and time of the crime were given.
The more effort you spend, the easier it is to leave traces. Jiang Guling keenly discovered this and began a targeted investigation.
Unfortunately, as Belmode's plan failed, she was urgently called away as Karasawa expected. This part of the channel was obviously cleared intentionally by the organization, so he hurried here quickly. After working overtime, I finally caught only a few fringe minions.
"Don't be too impatient. First, deal with the few people currently under control, including those who transport contraband and help with candid photography and surveillance. The interrogation work needs to be accelerated. Communicate with the criminal police and it is best to temporarily transfer the suspect. Let's go..." After the brief setback, Jianggu Ling quickly re-entered the work rhythm and arranged the next work.
After explaining these problems, he quickly changed into a set of more casual casual clothes.
Belmod left a lot of messes behind. Gin was responsible for her own reception and transportation work, so some other things had to fall on his head.
For example, how to deal with the new Chiaki himself, and whether he can restore his identity...
While thinking, he took out the bourbon that belonged to Bourbon. He picked up a mobile phone, opened the encrypted mailbox skillfully, and started checking new messages.
An email that had been lying there quietly for several hours was finally opened by him.
After only reading the first line of the email, Jianggu Ling paused and frowned instantly.
