Chapter 52
After staying in the forest for one night, Kurosawa Toru packed up the camping supplies the next day, said goodbye to the Zhufu brothers, and returned to the hot spring hotel with gin.
After another hot spring experience, they set off for Tokyo the next day.
On the way back, Toru Kurosawa still had some regrets, “I originally wanted to have a good time with Brother Zhen for two days, but I didn’t expect to encounter unexpected events. Well, it’s a good thing.” Toru Kurosawa said with a smile.
Getting acquainted with Amuro Toru’s young tamer Ran Zhu Fu Jingguang or something is naturally a good thing for them who have now decided to overthrow the organization and get rid of the old man.
Gin sitting in the passenger seat snorted.
Toru Kurosawa immediately said: “Let’s do more trips like this in the future, Brother Zhen?”
“If conditions permit.” Compared with his enthusiasm, Gin’s response was much cooler.
But Toru Kurosawa, who received a positive answer, didn’t care at all, and laughed happily. “Then it’s settled!”
Seeing him like this, Gin secretly shook his head, this little devil. Happy with this little thing.
Poirot…
Toru Kurosawa, who came back with gin the next day after returning to Tokyo, accidentally met Maurilan and the other three high school students. Conan is not here this time, I heard that he went out with a few children of the detective team.
“Hey? Mr. Kurosawa didn’t come over the past two days because he went out camping with Lai! Where did he go?” Maurilan asked curiously.
“Ah, I went to Nagano for a while. I experienced the hot springs and ski resorts there.” Toru Kurosawa, who was in a good mood when he talked about the trip, said with a smile, “It’s a pity that I only experienced the indoor ski resort, and I plan to do it again in winter if I have a chance. Come by and experience the outdoor skiing over there.”
“Nagano…” Suzuki Sonoko touched his chin. “Skiing is really good in winter.”
After that, several people chatted about the topic of travel.
After a few chats, Toru Kurosawa heard Shiliang Zhenchun say with a look of longing: “Speaking of travel, I really look forward to this trip to Kyoto.”
Gin glanced at her.
Noticing Jinjiu’s eyes, Toru Kurosawa said, “Huh? Are you planning to travel to Kyoto together during the holidays?”
Maurilan nodded, “Actually, it’s a school trip organized by the school! Our group chose Kyoto.”
“School trip? Ah, is that the kind of trip organized by the school for the purpose of cultural study? Kyoto is indeed a good place.” Toru Kurosawa said.
The girls who heard his words were taken aback for a while, and looked at each other, Suzuki Sonoko hesitated, “Mr. Kurosawa, it sounds like you have never been on a school trip?”
Saori Koyama, who had been paying attention to their conversation, glanced at Toru Kurosawa. Amuro Toru also glanced here.
Toru Kurosawa, who knew he had made a blunder, let out a haha, “For some special reasons, I didn’t have the opportunity to participate. Later, when I was in college, I traveled with my friends quite a few times. It can be considered to make up for the regret.”
He hadn’t even been to school, let alone a school trip.
Although I was curious about what kind of special reason, I didn’t even have the opportunity to participate in something as important as a school trip.
But seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, the girls didn’t ask more questions. Instead, we talked about where to go after going to Kyoto.
A smile flashed in Kurosawa Toru’s eyes, these girls are really cute.
“So instead of visiting various places, you actually care more about Lan, will that guy go?” Suzuki Sonoko sneered at Maurilan with his elbow with a weird smile.
Mao Lilan blushed suddenly. “Yuan, Yuanzi. What did you say, who, who cares.”
Shiliang Zhenchun also smiled and said, “I should be looking forward to seeing you. I heard that Kudo confessed to you in London.”
Kudo? Kudo Shinichi?
Toru Kurosawa subconsciously looked at Gin with a jump in his heart, and saw Gin frown slightly. Apparently the two of them thought about going together.
“That Kudo is the one who lives in 2-chome, so is it Miss Lan’s boyfriend?” Toru Kurosawa said with a smile.
Mao Lilan blushed and waved his hand quickly, “No, it’s not.”
“I confessed, but this guy hasn’t accepted it yet. It’s a matter of time, right, Mrs. Kudo?” Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile.
“Garden!”
“It’s a pity, I didn’t transfer to another school at that time, and I didn’t know about it until not long ago.” Shiliang Zhenchun said.
Saori Koyama interrupted their conversation with juice. She glanced at Toru Kurosawa, who cut the sandwich into small pieces and fed it to the baby opposite her with a smile, and she frowned slightly.
Although this kid is running back with boss and Gin on his back now, he doesn’t know much about many things.
But it’s better to be cautious, he is already very dangerous to be so close to angel, and he can’t let him notice that boy anymore.
However, these short conversations have already exposed enough information to Kurosawa Toru.
Knowing that Koyama Saori is Belmod, he naturally won’t show any strangeness. That’s why I suddenly cut a sandwich and fed it to the gin, deliberately pretending to be amused by a child.
Of course, it was to divert Belmod’s attention and prevent her from discovering anything strange.
At the same time, he gave Jin Jiu a look that went back to talk in detail. Jin Jiu looked at him for a few seconds, opened his mouth to eat the sandwich that was fed to his mouth, and nodded slightly.
“Shi Liang said that Kudo’s confession to Miss Lan happened before she transferred to Didan. As far as I know, it took only a few months for Shiliang to transfer to Didan.
In other words, this should have happened a few months ago. However, Brother Jin, the time you gave Kudo Shinichi the medicine should have been more than a year ago, right? ”
After returning to Mimori Town, Toru Kurosawa said.
Gin nodded. Although he won’t remember the people he killed, he reminded him once before with vodka. So he still has an impression of the name Kudo Shinichi.
“On the list that Masaichi gave me before, in addition to Haneda Koji, there is Kudo Shinichi. In other words, that list is actually the test list of APTX4869. But Kudo Shinichi is already dead.”
Gin frowned. “He’s not dead?”
Toru Kurosawa nodded, “I suspect it is. That Maurilan is Kudo Shinichi’s childhood sweetheart, and the two grew up together. Since she received Kudo Shinichi’s confession in London for a few months, based on her love for Kudo Shinichi It should be impossible for someone else to pretend to be familiar, it can only be himself. So there is a high probability that Kudo Shinichi is not dead.”
If that’s the case, then there’s a big problem.
“Brother Zhen, APTX4869, is it really not successfully developed?”
Jin Jiu shook his head, “Before Xue Li defected, there should be no relevant reports on the progress of the research. The boss also said that the timing is not enough.”
Toru Kurosawa frowned and sat down beside him, thoughtfully. Indeed, if there is a successful report, the old man should be ready for action.
“Since he has defected, the experimental data left in the organization may have been altered by her. Whether there is a successful case and whether Kudo Shinichi died is still up for debate.”
“Pay attention to the information about the school trip.” Gin said decisively.
Now they can’t confirm whether Kudo Shinichi really died. If he did show up on the school trip, it meant he wasn’t dead.
Toru Kurosawa remembered what he thought was wrong with Conan before, and then thought about the role of APTX4869, and suddenly opened his eyes.
Before, he overturned some of his speculations about Conan because he had confirmed with Brother Jin that Kudo Shinichi was dead.
But now, if Kudo Shinichi hadn’t died, but after eating APTX4869, it became a case of accidental success, and it became smaller!
Then his idea was very correct at the beginning. Conan is not a primary school student at all, and it is very likely that Kudo Shinichi has become smaller!
If he confessed to Maorilan in London, if it is really him, then he has the antidote for APTX4869 in his hand! Only in this way can explain why he will recover.
“Hmph, Shirley.” Gin snorted coldly.
Kurosawa Toru also immediately reacted. If Kudo Shinichi is a successful case, then there is an antidote, and the source of the antidote can only be made by the APTX4869 researcher Shirley who has defected.
However, Shirley should have died.
He suddenly thought of a detail and hurriedly asked: “Brother Zhen, describe Xue Li’s appearance to me.”
“You should have read her profile.” Gin said briefly when he met Toru Kurosawa’s eyes. “Short brown hair.”
really. Toru Kurosawa raised his eyebrows. He remembered the brown-haired little girl he saw when he first met the Detective Boys at the pet store. For a moment, I felt that the other party was a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
“Brother Zhen, what were the details of Shirley’s defection at the beginning? What was the situation with the subsequent death?”
After hearing the description of Gin, Toru Kurosawa was thoughtful.
Escape from a closed gas chamber? Or while being held captive? Shirley is a scientific researcher and must have average skills. If she is an adult, it would be difficult to escape in this situation. But if it’s a child like Conan, it can escape with the help of ventilation ducts.
According to Brother Jin, Shirley’s defection occurred after the Kudo Shinichi incident. It is very possible that she found out that APTX4869 had a successful case of Kudo Shinichi at that time, so she planned to take a gamble. In that case anyway, staying in the organization probably wouldn’t end well either.
If she wins the bet, she becomes smaller and can escape smoothly.
It was obvious after that. After learning about Kudo Shinichi’s situation, Shirley would definitely go to him.
That high school detective’s brain is still very useful. Then the train incident mentioned by Brother Zhen, and Shirley’s confirmed death, it is hard to say.
Conan = Kudo Shinichi, if this equation is established, with his relationship with Suzuki Sonoko, it is not impossible to save Shirley after the layout on that train.
“I’ll wait until I travel to Kyoto and see the situation before drawing a conclusion.” Toru Kurosawa said. “If Shirley is really alive…”
They thought APTX4869 was just poison now. But if, as they guessed, there were success stories, then Shelly’s research was a success.
She has indeed made new progress on the basis of the research materials left by her previous researcher.
“Wait, Brother Zhen, when Shirley defected, did APTX4869’s information remain?”
“A part is left.” Gin said.
Thinking of the previous boss asking Rum to continue looking for a researcher to replace Shirley, his face turned cold.
Toru Kurosawa also frowned, “This medicine should be very complicated, otherwise it won’t be fruitless for so many years. If the old man really finds a researcher to replace Shirley, it’s really hard to say the progress. We don’t know at all. What kind of information did Shirley leave behind?”
Shirley, who has defected, may not leave key information, and may leave misleading information to prevent subsequent researchers from studying the real APTX4869.
But even so, they have to adjust their plans. First, check the situation of Kudo Shinichi and Shirley. and also…
“Never let the old man know that Shirley is still alive!”
That means that the old man’s idea is about to succeed, and it must be better to find an existing researcher than to find a new researcher.
If he knew that Shirley was still alive and the medicine had progressed, he would definitely find Shirley at all costs, and bring back Toru Kurosawa who was still in Italy!
As he guessed, if Shirley used APTX4869 to become smaller and escaped, then the little girl he saw was probably Sherry who became smaller. The one who died in the train incident was not the real Shirley either!
The child named Haiyuan seems to be living in Dr. Agasa’s house?
Toru Kurosawa rolled his eyes and looked at Gin. “Brother Zhen, we haven’t been to Mihua Town for a long time. Why don’t we go back and live for two days?”
Gin looked at him, “Little devil, what are you thinking of?”
“Hey, it’s nothing, I just want you to help identify someone.” Toru Kurosawa said with a smile.
