Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 135 Bargaining Chips to Rescue My Sister

Because of this incident, Natsukawa's trip back to Tokyo was delayed by several hours, and he didn't return to Tokyo until the afternoon.

After leaving Anya and Yoel, Xia Chuan rushed to Baijiu Pharmaceutical without stopping.

Sherry's situation could actually be resolved with a phone call, but Natsukawa still wanted to take this opportunity to see her. He really wanted to see Sherry before she shrunk.

To clarify beforehand, he was simply curious, not fickle or indecisive.

Sherry's research lab is located at the deepest part of the second basement level of Shirley Pharmaceuticals.

Entering her territory requires multiple layers of verification.

After all, this is a project that Karasuma Renya values ​​most, so it's normal for him to have this level of security and isolation.

However, this makes Shirley a bit pitiful.

I spend most of my time doing research, and I can't go out much during my free time. If I want to see the scenery, I can only stare at the flat textures outside the fake window.

It's ridiculous that the most humane thing in the research lab is the fake window and the fake view outside the window.

The fake windows are the same size as the windows in a normal house, and the fake scenery is a flat image printed from an enlarged photograph.

Xia Chuan remembered the last time he saw something like this was when he watched Resident Evil in his previous life.

After walking around the research room, Xia Chuan found that the researchers were all very serious, and no one looked up when he came in.

They were all working very seriously on their tasks.

He found Shirley very quickly.

Most of the researchers here are over thirty years old, and a seventeen-year-old girl with short brown hair stands out among them.

"Tequila, how's that going?" Shirley couldn't help but ask as soon as she looked up and saw Natsukawa.

After Xia Chuan hung up the phone last night, she didn't receive a reply. She thought her application had not been approved and was planning to call again tonight. Unexpectedly, Tequila came in person.

She really had something very important to investigate on this trip.

A few days ago, Shirley discovered something extremely terrifying in a newspaper.

She discovered that among those who had been given Drug A by Gin, there was likely one person who had not died.

This person not only did not die, but he may have successfully achieved his ultimate goal in researching drugs—to reverse the flow of time!

That newspaper was related to Kogoro Mouri, who had recently risen to fame.

She accidentally discovered that Kogoro Mouri was accompanied by a little boy who looked almost exactly like Shinichi Kudo when he was a child.

Combining the timing of Shinichi Kudo's medication use with the timing of Kogoro Mouri's rise to fame, she was surprised to find that the timing was perfectly aligned.

After Shinichi Kudo took the medicine, a little boy named Conan Edogawa appeared next to Kogoro Mouri! Then, Kogoro Mouri, who was searching for cats, dogs, and mistresses, became the sleeping detective Kogoro Mouri.

This left her no choice but to have doubts.

Although drug A has consistently failed, there have been occasional successes. For example, one mouse was transformed from an adult into a juvenile after an experiment, which is why she connected Conan Edogawa with Shinichi Kudo.

However, because Conan Edogawa was wearing glasses, she wasn't entirely sure.

Therefore, she needs to go to the Kudo family to check on the situation.

She needs to go to Shinichi Kudo's house to find more photos of Shinichi Kudo when he was a child and find an opportunity to compare them with Conan.

Ideally, you should be able to find some hair, fingerprints, or skin flakes; this would be sufficient to confirm his identity!

However, she doesn't plan to tell anyone about this, at least not now.

Her sister's condition seems somewhat dangerous, and this information is an extremely important bargaining chip for Gin, who has always used A drug as poison. She wants to use this chip to ensure her sister's safety. As for her leaving the organization...

Shirley never considered the feasibility of this matter. Given her own value and the importance of the medicine, she knew she would never have the chance to sever all ties with the organization in her lifetime.

However, maybe it's possible with my own sister!

"I've already discussed this with Gin. He'll arrange for someone to take you out in the next few days, but only within the vicinity of Shiraiu Pharmaceuticals. Considering the extreme dangers outside, I hope you can understand."

Shirley rolled her eyes. "Where is the danger? Don't you have any self-awareness, Tequila?"
If it's near Shirahato Pharmaceutical, I don't know if Kudo's house counts, but Beikacho 2-chome isn't far from Shirahato Pharmaceutical.

"The area is limited to Beika and Beika. Originally, Gin only wanted you to go to Beika. I had to use a lot of persuasion to get Beika to go. Remember to thank me."

Xia Chuan revealed an enigmatic smile, which sent chills down Shirley's spine. She felt there was something deeper behind those words.

Has it been discovered?
Is he genuinely trying to help, or does Tequila know that his real target is Beika Town? Or perhaps he already knows that his target is the Kudo residence in Beika Town 2-chome?

Damn it! Who is this guy? His ambiguous smile is really scary!
Sherry had the unsettling feeling that her plan had been seen through, and awkwardly changed the subject: "What has my sister been up to lately? If possible, I'd like to meet with her before she goes on her mission."

"Nine to six, life couldn't be more comfortable. But every time we meet, she seems sullen, I don't know if it's because she's worried about you, or worried about some other man."

"Hmph!!" Sherry's face flushed red. Tequila's words were suspected of mocking her sister. The man he was talking about must be that bastard Shuichi Akai.

If it weren't for Shuichi Akai, she and her sister wouldn't have ended up in this situation, where even meeting is an impossible problem.

"Okay, don't be angry. You just don't have a boy you like yet. Who can predict feelings? Being love-struck can be hereditary. Your sister has it, so there's a good chance you will too."

"Love brain?"

This was the first time Shirley had heard this term, but it was quite apt; her sister seemed to be that kind of person.

When she falls in love, she forgets everything else. After being with Shuichi Akai for so long, Sherry doesn't believe her sister was completely unaware.

Her older sister must have noticed some of Shuichi Akai's secrets, but she didn't report them to Gin until Shuichi Akai was exposed.

It's actually fine not to report this to Gin, but the most important thing is! My own sister! I didn't! Tell her about this!
That's what made her most angry.

We agreed to be each other's angels, but then you turned around and started having an affair with someone else.
"So, could I meet with my sister?"

Sherry steered the conversation back on track, realizing she had almost gotten herself into that trap. She hadn't been talking about anything related to being love-struck or Shuichi Akai.

"It should be possible, but it will take some time."

"how long?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you meet with her before the mission begins, so that she'll be more dedicated to serving the organization. Speaking of which, you two sisters are really two extremes."

Shirley was puzzled. What did that mean? She didn't understand.

"One is responsible for making money, and the other is responsible for burning money. It's just that your sister's money-making speed is a bit too slow, and it can't keep up with your money-burning speed at all."

Shirley rolled her eyes. What's wrong with that?

What's the point of scientific research if you don't spend a lot of money?

Didn't you see that US research projects are measured in hundreds of millions? The organization's current conditions are considered poor!

If Gin hadn't suddenly run out of money recently, the development of Drug A would definitely have been much faster.

They can't come up with the money but keep pushing for progress. What a poor organization.
