Conan's grammatical investigator

With the rotation of the magnetic tape in the cabin, the sound of the operation of the retro mechanical shaft makes a faint sound in the quiet environment.

Qin Zhibo lowered his voice as much as possible, and sat solemnly on the boss's chair, ready to listen to the secrets of the black organization.

However, the tape continued to play for more than three minutes, but there was still no sound.

Is it wrong?
Qin Zhibo was about to check whether the tape was inserted backwards, when the silent tape suddenly made a movement.

"Give me Shiho who is 1 year old, I wish you a happy first year."

"Now you can only babble, right? Hehe, just like your older sister Mingmei."

"But it's okay, you can take your time, the outside world is very exciting, waiting for your discovery."

In the tape is a gentle female voice, which sounds light and airy, giving people a comfortable feeling. Although the Japanese is spoken fluently, it can be heard that there is a foreigner's accent.

Is this the recording made by Miyano Elena to Haibara Ai?
If this is 1 year old, then the number on the tape is actually the age?
Regarding the contents of the tapes, Qin Zhibo imagined many possibilities in advance, such as numbered confidential documents, lists of organizational members, scientific research project materials, and so on.

But what he didn't expect was that this was just a message from a mother to her child?

But after thinking about it, Qin Zhibo felt that it should not be so simple.

If it was just an ordinary recording, Miyano Akemi could give it to Haibara Ai within the organization, instead of keeping it private for so many years, and using this secret method to hand it over to the grown-up Haibara.

Anyway, the night was still long, so Qin Zhibo decided to continue listening.

An hour passed quickly, and Qin Zhibo was sitting at the table with his hands propped in front of him, his eyes full of seriousness.

The first three tapes have already been listened to. In order not to miss any hidden key information, Qin Zhibo didn't speed up, let alone skip it.

However, apart from the mother's full maternal love for the child, the words in the tape have no other irrelevant content.

Miyano Elena provides life experience for Haibara Ai according to different age stages, wishing her healthy and happy growth.

The numbers on the tape represent Huiyuan's age, 1~5 refers to one to five years old, and the latter will increase in order.

But even after listening so much, Qin Zhibo still felt that these tapes were a bit weird.

Why is Miyano Elena the only one recording?Why did Hui Yuan Ai's father never speak out?
Generally speaking, if you want to make a message tape, Koji Miyano should also want his daughter to hear his voice, right?
Opening the cover of the boot, Qin Zhibo put the fourth tape, numbered 16~20, into it, and pressed the play button.

As usual, there was no sound for the first few minutes before Elena Miyano began to speak.

"To my 16-year-old Zhibao, I wish you a happy birthday. At your age, you have already begun to face the pressure of study and life, right?"

"But I believe in you, Shiho, after all, you are the daughter of your parents, so you will be fine."

The message from the 16-year-old remains unchanged, and it still comes from the mother's entrustment and blessing.

17 is still 18 years old and still.

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking this way, Miyano Elena, who was about to finish her speech, suddenly changed the subject.

"Then I will see you next time on your 19th birthday. Now is the time to tell you."

"Actually, Mom, I'm making a very scary medicine."

"The partners in the laboratory think that it is a dream drug, and my father and mother privately named the drug with their own wishes - silver bullet, it is a silver bullet~"

"."

Silver Bullet?

Qin Zhibo thought about his inherent impression of this title.

In vampire novels, silver bullets are sterling silver or silver-plated bullets that can cause special damage to supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves.

This setting is because the metal silver in the past was relatively scarce. Silverware was a precious thing that could only be used by old European nobles. It was often given a symbol of "purity and cleanliness", which is exactly the opposite of the property of filth, so it was set as Has the effect of exorcism.

In addition to this, the English of the silver bullet is Silver Bullet, and the down-to-earth translations include killer mace, ace, panacea, and panacea.

Qin Zhibo didn't know which one Miyano Elena chose as the basis for naming the drug.

"Zhibao, speaking of it, your father and I got married because of this drug."

"13 years ago, your father and I both worked as members of the drug development team in a company called 'Baijiu Pharmaceutical'."

"Five years later, Baijiu Pharmaceutical went bankrupt, and we opened a small clinic elsewhere."

"Later, a large group continued to send out invitations. After a while, your father finally agreed."

"That's right, that big group is what you know as the 'organization'."

"Heh, I've said so much before I knew it, so I'll see you next time when I'm 19~"

click.

Qin Zhibo pressed the button, paused the playback of the tape, and sorted out his thoughts.

At this moment, the look in his eyes is somewhat inconceivable, because these words that Miyano Elena said casually actually contain important information.

Pay attention to the time point in Miyano Elena's mouth. If you count from the time point of her recording, 13 years ago is almost 30 years ago.

Because Miyano Elena's recording time should be shortly after Haibara Ai was born.

Another evidence is that 5 years later, Baijiu Pharmaceutical went bankrupt.

This Baijiu Pharmaceutical, Qin Zhibo just happened to know about such a pharmaceutical company when he was investigating the mermaid case in the American Island and the Longgong Island case in Okinawa.

Since decades ago, there has been a strange disease among the islanders of the American Island that gradually turned into mermaid monsters. According to the habit, the islanders will exile these sick islanders off the island to fend for themselves.

Five years ago, Junhui Shimabukuro's father and some villagers fell ill, and they were exiled to the sea with increasingly weird looks. After a long wandering, they arrived at an uninhabited island in Okinawa.

After living there for a period of time, Shimabukuro Junhui's father was controlled by a group of robbers who suddenly landed on the island.

The woman in that group of robbers was the daughter of the local mayor of Okinawa. She was the child of the mayor's wife and her ex-husband. She had no blood relationship with the mayor. To test whether the mayor really cared about her, she A robbery was planned.

On the other hand, this woman also suffered from the strange mermaid disease, but when she was gradually entering the onset, she received the medicine from her biological father who was far away in the United States.

The woman tested the drug on Junhui Shimabukuro's father, and she took it after confirming that it was effective.

After that, the woman sent a robber to regularly deliver small amounts of medicine and food to Shimabukuro's father.

Until a year ago, Junhui Shimabukuro's father ambushed in the waters where the robbers landed on the island. When the robbers boarded the island to observe the position where the baby screen was blown away by the typhoon, he sailed away alone.

The robber had no ability to survive in the wild. He was trapped on the island and died of starvation. Before he died, he wrote down a secret code for his companion to indicate the treasure place. This is the whole truth of the Longgong Island mystery.

And the biological father of the robber woman was the project leader of Baijiu Pharmaceutical's drug development team, an American named "Mark Allen".

Qin Zhibo found Los Angeles, USA by mailing the address information of the drug, and contacted this person.

Under his introduction, Qin Zhibo also thoroughly understood the former "Baijiu Pharmaceutical".

Baijiu Pharmaceutical is actually the Japanese office of STK Transcontinental Company. STK was founded in 1934 by Walter Marsh, behind it is the Marsh family of Innsmouth. The big family that started to rise.

The main research direction of "Baijiu Pharmaceutical" of STK's office in Japan is to develop drugs against "deep diving syndrome".

Deep Dive Syndrome is a disease originating from the Innsmouth area. The traditional belief of the local people is closely related to a creature in the deep sea, called "deep diver".

Patients with deep diving syndrome will gradually become weird faces, webbed feet, and bulging eyes at an unspecified period of time in adulthood, and eventually become deep divers and enter the sea to live.

To carry out this experiment requires a large number of related human experiments, so STK began to secretly plan half a century ago, choosing Japan, which was extremely backward at that time, as the place for human experiments.

American Island is Baijiu Pharmaceutical, or one of STK's experimental sites.

This experiment has been carried out for a long time. It was not until the bankruptcy of Shirato Pharmaceutical 25 years ago that STK completely withdrew from Japan.

That is to say, the medicine developed by Miyano Koji and Miyano Elena during the period of Baijiu Pharmaceutical is actually a medicine against "deep diving syndrome"?

If this is the case, this drug can indeed be called a "silver bullet", because its principle is to target and eliminate the cells of the deep divers. As long as the drug is taken regularly, the patient can always maintain the identity of a human being.

But even so, Qin Zhibo still felt a little puzzled.

This unique targeted drug was actually developed by the later STK, and the drug research and development carried out by the Miyano couple does not seem to be this.

And what does the black organization want the research and development members of this drug to do?Their boss is not from Innsmouth
In order to understand the doubts in his heart, Qin Zhibo continued to press the play button.

"To my 19-year-old Shiho, happy birthday to you."

"Now you can already take charge of research and development? After all, you are my daughter, and I believe you can."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be doing the research that I couldn't complete, right?"

"Regardless of the progress of your research, I think it's time to tell you something more distant."

"It's actually about your father. Although he is Japanese, he graduated from Miskatonic University in the United States, which is a sister school to the University of Brichester in the United Kingdom where I am studying."

"Your father is very studious. During his studies at the University of Michigan, his grades were among the top in the medical school. He is a proper student~"

"Until he met that senior, Herbert West"

Miyano Elena's voice changed from a gentle voice to a serious one.

"It was a fanatic who violated the taboo of science. He secretly used the dead bodies in the morgue to develop drugs to bring the dead back to life. Something happened."

"Herbert's research was originally banned, but your father attaches great importance to the research on the 'resurrecting the dead'. He continued the same research and published some articles."

"Because of this incident, your father was called a 'mad scientist' by the scientific community, and was banished from the orthodox scientific community."

"But I don't care about this~ In fact, apart from this somewhat scary name, your father is really an easy-going, straightforward, and easy-going person."

"Baijiu Pharmaceutical went bankrupt that year. Your father and I planned to stay in that small clinic and live an ordinary and ordinary life until the man in black invited us to conduct new research."

"But the content of the research is not the 'silver bullet' that I think is meaningful, but the 'research' that was exiled by the scientific community."

"Okay, I said some scary things, I'm sorry, Shiho."

"See you when we're 20."

In shock, Qin Zhibo finished listening to the recording.

It turns out that Haibara Ai's father, Koji Miyano is also a student of Michigan University, and is his alumni.

Judging from his age, he should be his senior.

Koji Miyano's senior, or the leader of drug research, is a man called "Herbert West".

For this name, Qin Zhibo didn't know why, and felt as if he had heard this name somewhere.

It's an American name, so it must have been met in America.

Where is it?

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo's expression froze, his eyes widened.

When I went to the United States, the psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum I met was Herbert West!
Qin Zhibo still remembered this person clearly. He was thin and thin, and he wore delicate round-rimmed glasses under his light-blond hair.

But what impresses him the most is that although the age of this person floating above his head is 37 years old, which seems to be about this age, the actual age after the physical contact investigation is 64 years old.

For Koji Miyano, 64 years old already meets the condition of "senior" in terms of age.

Could it be that he is the first researcher of the medicine for bringing the dead back to life?
In other words, he is the real creator of APTX-4869!
Qin Zhibo rubbed his forehead, he never dreamed that the answer to the question would pass him by, as a psychiatrist.

Conan and Haibara Ai used drug A to reduce their age by about 10 years.

And Herbert West's age has been reduced by a full 27 years, and the effect is more than doubled.

Qin Zhibo: "."

wrong.

Still something is wrong.

If the effect of this medicine is only this, it is far from the effect of bringing the dead back to life, at most it is prolonging life.

Moreover, Huiyuan Ai once said that what she originally conceived to develop was not a poison, but a poisonous drug that happened to be developed by chance, and no judicial inspection could find it.

Rejuvenating people is just an accidental effect of this drug. Although she can guess the principle, it is not in her research and development plan.

I'm afraid. Herbert West, Miyano Koji, and Haibara Ai, the three of them are not developing the same drug.

And Elena Miyano specifically mentioned the "Silver Bullet" developed by Shirato Pharmaceutical in the 18-year-old part, why?

Qin Zhibo's body was slumped on the chair, feeling that although he knew a lot of things, things seemed to be more complicated.

And whether this mystery can be solved depends on the last 20-year-old recording.
