Stay away from Conan.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Takato's words, Shuichi Akai turned to Eisuke Hondo with a heavy heart, looking at the somewhat timid high school boy before him. At the same time, he was analyzing in his mind that if everything Takato had said was true, then things were far more complicated than he had anticipated...

"what!"

As a result, although Gao Yuan said so, Hondou Eisuke himself could not believe such an explanation. After all, in his mind, although everything he did was indeed to find the female host Mizunashi Rena, he never thought that she was his missing sister!

In particular, you know that the other person's blood type is the same as your own, so there is absolutely no possibility that you are related by blood.

Therefore, upon realizing this, Hondo Eisuke couldn't help but retort:
"Impossible! There's absolutely no way I could be related to that Rena Mizunashi! Because even just the blood type..."

"Oh! Speaking of blood type... indeed."

Just as Hondo Eisuke brought up the issue of blood type, Takato interrupted him directly, saying:
"In that case, let's not use blood for matching, let's just use the DNA of somatic cells for comparison."

As he said this, Takato looked at Shuichi Akai.

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai immediately understood what Takato was trying to say—

Indeed, Shuichi Akai knew that some situations could alter blood type and DNA genetic information, but in any case, somatic cells could not be changed.

Therefore, according to Gao Yuan's statement, he suspects that either Hondo Eisuke or Mizunashi Rena has undergone some kind of surgery that has changed their blood type.

Therefore, seeing Takato's confident assertion, Akai Shuichi, after noticing Hondo Eisuke's bewildered expression after Takato finished speaking, turned to Takato with a serious look:
"Are you saying that you've basically confirmed something, or is it just speculation?"

Without any attempt to hide his doubts, Shuichi Akai directly voiced his question.

Gao Yuan did not give a direct answer to this, but only said:

"Let's wait for the results. Otherwise, we don't have much trust between us to begin with, so saying more will be useless."

Gao Yuan casually deflected the attack, which displeased Shuichi Akai, but at the same time made him realize—

This guy did bring some useful information about the current situation.

Therefore, let's listen to him for now and have this bespectacled high school student and Rena Mizunashi do a bloodline matching. If this person is indeed Rena Mizunashi's blood relative, then things will really get interesting.

So, despite Hondo Eisuke's resistance, Akai Shuichi dragged him out to find someone to do the necessary tests.

As for Hondou Eisuke's resistance, Gao Yuan glanced at it indifferently and then said:

"You want to find your sister's whereabouts, right? Then cooperate a little."

After saying this, Hondo Eisuke, who was still resisting, finally gave up and followed Akai Shuichi out of the room.

After hearing those words, Shuichi Akai became even more convinced that Takato knew a lot of things.

Therefore, before leaving, Shuichi Akai added a sentence to Takato:
"Then please don't leave the hospital until the results are in."

Gao Yuan nodded slightly in response, which was considered as silence. After Akai Shuichi left, Gao Yuan also went out and went to Kudo Shinichi's ward.

At this moment, seeing that only Takato had returned to the ward, and that Akai Shuichi and Hondo Eisuke had not returned, everyone clearly guessed what had happened. Ran, who was present, vaguely sensed something was amiss and stood up, saying to Kudo Shinichi, "Well... Shinichi, I'll come see you again when I have time..."

For Ran, the visit was just to let him know that Shinichi Kudo was alright. She knew that she wouldn't be able to help much if she stayed, especially with FBI agents like Jodie Starling present. She probably wouldn't be in a good position to stay.

So, having no intention of pressing the matter further, Xiaolan prepared to get up and leave. Seeing this, Judy stirred and said:

"Let me give you a ride."

So, after a few simple greetings and farewells, only Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi remained in the ward.

Therefore, faced with this moment of solitude, Shinichi Kudo hurriedly pressed for details about what had just happened:
"Just now... what exactly happened, Hondo Eisuke?"

"Let's leave that matter aside for now; I'll discuss it all when we have a clear conclusion. Now, the important thing is..."

As Gao Yuan spoke, he approached Shinichi Kudo and said in a serious, low voice:

“If you continue to act like this, there will probably be problems. After all, at least for now, the news that you are still alive has not been relayed back to the organization from Ireland, so there is no need for you to continue taking risks.”

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo was also taken aback, and his thoughts came to a head after Takato's mention of it—

Yes, initially, it was because Ireland tested him several times that he thought his identity as Conan Shinichi Kudo had been exposed, which ultimately led him to take the risk and choose to take the antidote given by Ai to turn back into Shinichi Kudo in an attempt to fight against the organization.

In the end, the matter ended in a very unsatisfactory way. The Irishman he was most worried about was instead silenced by the organization, so now it seemed that he didn't need to take such a risk at all.

Therefore, if he continues to maintain his appearance as Shinichi Kudo and is seen by more people, it will actually make it easier to reveal that he is still alive...

but……

On the other hand, the reason I made this choice was because Ai and Takato behind her gave me a new antidote back then.
and so……

Thinking of this, after a moment of stunned silence, Shinichi Kudo looked at Takato with a puzzled expression and asked:
“Mr. Mingzhi, you…”

Somewhat suspicious, Shinichi Kudo was unsure whether he had actually been used by Takato and his group in this incident.

Gao Yuan didn't respond, but quietly handed a small medicine box to Shinichi Kudo and whispered:

"The drug that Ai Haibara recently researched can quickly neutralize the effects of the antidote, which should allow you to return to Conan's body as soon as possible."

As he said this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel helpless inside.

Restoring Shinichi Kudo to his original state was a risky move he had considered. At a time when Ireland had already tested him to that extent, further securing Vermouth's support and cooperation was, in a way, a form of exploitation.

However, in retrospect, taking this step was also because Ireland's actions, which went beyond the original work, made both himself and Shinichi Kudo feel that they had to do this to temporarily make Ireland doubt the point that "Conan and Shinichi Kudo are the same person," in order to keep Ireland in check. Otherwise, he would take further risky actions and take Conan away.

Therefore, it can only be said that this was ultimately a choice made out of necessity under the circumstances at the time.

And now, this new drug is being given to Shinichi Kudo...

This is kind of an experiment that Ai has been researching recently... (End of Chapter)
