I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 442 Conan: Wait, you were arrested as soon as you arrived? (1st update)
Happy times always pass too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Sunday's sunset had already painted the sky red.

Shiraishi E and her group ended their short vacation in Izu and returned to Tokyo in Sonoko's van.

The car stopped at the Kisaki Office. Kisaki Eri picked up her luggage, got out of the car, and waved, saying, "The weekend is over. I have to go back to work. Goodbye!"

After everyone waved goodbye, the vehicle drove back to the Mouri Detective Agency.

After Ran and Kogoro got off the train, they picked up their luggage and waved goodbye.

"Detective Mouri, you should make time to go to the gym sometime during this period," Shiraishi E reminded him.

"Okay, I understand." Kogoro Mouri nodded, knowing that he should also get some training.

Otherwise, you'll be too tired to even run, and that would be great.

After watching the nanny van leave, Xiaolan asked curiously as she went upstairs, "Dad, why are we suddenly going to the gym?"

"This incident has hit me pretty hard. I feel like I can't keep going down this low." Kogoro Mouri pulled his luggage upstairs.

"Hey~~~~ That's great! Keep it up!" Xiaolan immediately cheered.

"Okay... but I'm too tired today, let's start again tomorrow!" Kogoro Mouri said, opening the door of the office, throwing down his luggage, and plopping down on the sofa to watch Yoko Okino on TV.

"...I had too many expectations of you." Xiaolan looked at her father, who was suddenly overcome with emotion again, and was speechless.

She ignored her father and took her luggage back to her room to pack her things.

On the other side, Shiraishi E got out of Sonoko's van, waved goodbye, returned to her rented apartment to tidy up briefly, and then drove to Miyano Villa.

Upon arriving at the villa, he discovered that Mingmei was still at work and not at home.

However, Ai still stayed in the lab.

"How's the research going?" Shiraishi asked after coming in to greet everyone.

Ai, focused intently on the microscope, replied without looking up, "It went more smoothly than expected."

She adjusted the focus of the microscope: "The antidote for APTX4869 is very effective in mice. Do you see that mouse that's larger than the ones around it?"

"Yes, I see it." Shiraishi E walked to her side and looked curiously at the lab table.

Several white mice were jumping around in a specially made cage, one of which stood out—it was noticeably larger than the others of its kind.

Ai looked up and said, "That's the white mouse that took the antidote; its size has returned to that of an adult mouse."

"So fast?" Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Thanks to you for bringing back so much experimental data, it saved me a lot of time." Ai finally looked up and pushed up her glasses. "But the problem is, we don't know how long this effect will last on the human body, or whether there will be any side effects."

Her expression turned serious: "Clinical trials are needed."

"Clinical trials? That's easy." Shiraishi E smiled. "Let Conan be the guinea pig! He'll have to try it sooner or later anyway."

“That makes sense.” Ai calmly analyzed, “Based on the existing data, the antidote is very safe.”

A slight smirk played on her lips as she said with a hint of sarcasm, "That arrogant detective is probably eager to get back to normal as soon as possible."

"You have a problem with him?" Shiraishi E could tell that Ai didn't have a very good impression of Conan.

"Yeah, what a stupid idiot who doesn't know what's good for him." Ai said, picking up her phone, opening a news article, and handing it to Shiraishi E to read: "A few days ago, he led three kids from the Junior Detective Club to solve a case of printing counterfeit money."

"It's making the headlines... He's clearly become a child, yet he still does things in such a high-profile way."

"That's certainly high-profile!" Shiraishi E shook her head; she also felt that Conan was too fond of showing off.

I don't know what's so great about showing off.

He's so awesome, he even blew up the Tokyo Tower, does he brag about it everywhere?

When Ai saw Shiraishi E take out her phone to call Conan, she said, "The experiment should ideally be conducted here. I need to monitor it the whole time." "For safety reasons, I won't show myself. You will handle the contact with him."

As she spoke, she took off her rubber gloves and walked towards her desk: "I'm going to prepare the experimental protocol and consent forms."

"Why make it so formal?" Shiraishi E smiled, then called Conan.

As soon as the call connected, he heard police sirens and asked curiously, "Conan, are you at the scene?"

"Yes, I'm handling a tricky case... Is there anything I can help you with?" Conan asked from the other end of the phone.

“I won’t call you unless there’s nothing wrong… Send me your address and we can talk in person,” Shiraishi E said.

“That makes sense… I’ll send you the address.” After hanging up the phone, Conan sent the address to Shiraishi E.

Following the address given by Conan, Shiraishi drove her black Mazda RX-7 at breakneck speed to the scene.

This is a detached house in Beika Town. Police tape has been put up at the entrance, and several police cars with flashing red and blue lights are parked around. Many residents have gathered to watch the commotion.

He parked his car nearby and saw Conan walking over.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way to pick me up." Shiraishi E said with a smile after getting out of the car, "Were you worried I'd get lost?"

"I just came out to get some fresh air, clear my head, and figure out how the body disappeared." Conan stroked his chin.

The two chatted as they walked toward the crime scene.

Through Conan's description, Shiraishi E learned that the case was "The Vanished Corpse".

He recognizes this!
"I have a clue." Just as he was about to give Conan a demonstration of what it means to solve a case at lightning speed, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him—

"Hey, isn't this Shiraishi-kun?"

Shiraishi E paused, slowly turning around to see Sato Miwako twirling her car keys, staring at him with a half-smile: "Long time no see!"

"Ah, it has indeed been a long time." Shiraishi E couldn't even remember the last time she saw him.

It seems like it has been a long time since we last met.

Sato Miwako took a few steps closer, her gaze sweeping over him before finally settling on the car keys in his hand. She raised an eyebrow: "I remember you're not an adult yet, right? Driving without a license is illegal, you know~"

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow, guessing that the other party probably had a grudge against her.

He chuckled twice, trying to gloss over the situation: "Officer Sato, it's a misunderstanding, I was just... uh, helping a friend move his car?"

Sato Miwako snorted and said bluntly, "Don't give me that! This isn't the first time you've done this, is it? I've finally caught you red-handed this time."

She swung the handcuffs, revealing a dangerous smile: "Come with me, young man."

Seeing this, Shiraishi E knew she was doomed.

"Fine, fine... I'll go with you." He helplessly raised his hands in surrender and glanced back at the crime scene.

Just then, I saw Conan with a completely bewildered expression.

What's going on? You said you'd come help me solve the case, but you got arrested by the police yourself?

Ishie shrugged at Conan and said, "Wait for me for an hour, I'll be back soon."

"You think you can come back in an hour? Dream on!" Sato Miwako scoffed. "You won't be back for at least two hours!!"

As Conan watched Shiraishi E being taken away by Sato Miwako, his eye twitched, and he internally screamed, "Is this girl even reliable?!"

But there was no other way at the moment, so he could only go back and continue his investigation.
