Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

White steam began to slowly rise from Chianti again.

She was originally vigorously picking at her throat, making loud retching sounds, but as she kept picking, her voice became weaker and weaker, as if her energy and vitality were rapidly dissipating with the steam.

Chianti put down his hands and first supported himself on the floor with both hands, breathing weakly, and asked a few questions such as "What on earth did you give me to eat?" and "I don't want to be a test subject."

Gradually, he could no longer hold on and fell weakly on the floor, clutching the clothes around his chest and groaning in pain.

At the same time, her body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Koizumi estimated the growth rate, glanced at the time, and said, "It will probably take another 40 to 50 minutes to finish."

She glanced at Gin and Vermouth, who were still holding their guns nervously.

"You don't have to be so nervous. Really, she can't do anything to resist."

Hearing what Koizumi said, Gin and Vermouth both glanced at her quickly and lowered their guns slightly, but still held the guns in their hands and did not put them away.

Koizumi dragged his chair two steps to the side and sat down again.

"Sir, do you want to watch and listen to my explanation at the same time, or wait until everything is over and then we can talk together?"

After being given an injection by the man in the white coat, Karasuma Renya turned back into a black silhouette in the shadows, and it was only then that his breathing gradually stabilized.

"Now, speak up."

Koizumi nodded.

"Okay. Let's continue with what I told you before. This is the medicine I exchanged from Rum with the so-called 'resurrection coin'. Rum calls this thing the 'rejuvenation' medicine."

Koizumi thought of many ways to throw the bait he had prepared to Karasuma Renya.

The original design was to use his own blood to make the other party aware of the abnormality, but it has failed.

With the example of Vermouth, a recovery ability that is simply stronger than that of ordinary people obviously cannot arouse the interest of Karasuma Ren'ya.

He needs stronger stimulation.

But greater excitement means greater danger.

And after experiencing the power of this forced device behind his neck, Koizumi really didn't dare to use himself as bait anymore.

God knows whether Karasuma Renya still has any coercive means to use against her.

After all, when Sakurai appeared, he not only touched her head, but also touched her chest.

Perhaps some part or organ of her body had been tampered with?

What if she has other means that can be controlled by Karasuma Renya?

So after that, Koizumi kept worrying about how to throw the bait out safely, until she made up her mind to kill Rum.

When it comes to taking the blame, nothing is better than a dead person.

Moreover, Rum does have a secret laboratory in secret, and is indeed researching the topic of "immortality". If we really want to trace it, there must be clues to follow.

"Rum gave me three pills in total, but he didn't explain in detail what they did. He only said that this was a new product developed based on Qingshui Technology's cancer cell targeted drug."

When they heard the name of Shimizu Technology, Gin and Vermouth reacted immediately.

The two men turned their heads to look at Koizumi, both with a thoughtful expression.

Koizumi continued, "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I threw it aside and forgot about it completely. It wasn't until I saw Rum again at the Christmas dinner at the Masuyama family's that he suddenly asked me about the efficacy of the medicine, and then I remembered it."

"I didn't tell him that I hadn't tested the efficacy of the drug. I just vaguely said something like 'it's interesting'. Then Rum said that his research and development team had made new progress and hoped to trade one more coin with me.

"If I gave him one more coin, this guy would definitely do some experiments and find out that this thing I gave him was not a 'resurrection coin' at all, so I didn't agree to his deal.

"After returning from Christmas dinner, I randomly found someone to test the effects of the drug. Then, what you are seeing happened.

“The difference is that the person I was looking for was a healthy, normal person who did not have a gunshot wound like the one Chianti had.

"So this thing can actually restore a seriously injured person to health. This is the first time I've seen it."

Koizumi sneered.

"Heh, I gave Rum that coin with the intention of cheating him, but he obviously had some evil intention in mind when he traded this thing to me."

Karasuma Renya couldn't hold his temper anymore.

The so-called "cancer cell targeted drug" is one of the important reasons why he sent Gin to Tokyo to develop his power.

After taking over the scientific research team of Qingshui Technology, his drug development team has not made any progress for such a long time.

But Rum’s secret research and development team has actually achieved this level?

This has completely overturned scientific knowledge!

Why is this happening?

Could it be that Rum started the research earlier than him?

The only explanation for this is...

"...Gin, I remember you once reported that Rum killed the Shimizu family and dissolved the company, but he did not get rid of the company's drug research and development team."

"Yes."

Gin frowned, obviously thinking back to what happened.

"I suspected that this was a loophole that Rum left intentionally, so after gathering the entire R&D team of Qingshui Technology, I repeatedly investigated and verified the identity information of these people, but did not find any problems."

Vermouth also spoke.

"Rum must have discovered our goal long ago, and hid the core R&D personnel and results in advance. Then he deliberately handed over the unimportant parts, and then conveyed his "goodwill" to us through Melo, and offered to provide financial assistance to dispel our suspicion of him.

"Oh, this is something that guy can do."

But the timing of the transaction of coins and drugs is questionable.

Gin lowered his head, frowning in thought.

It was obvious that Mello had just handed the five-yen coin to Rum not long ago.

He saw it with his own eyes, even if it was only through the surveillance camera.

If Mello only gave Rum one coin from beginning to end, that should be the only transaction between them.

Gin turned his head and glanced at Koizumi's expression.

Then he discovered that although this man was also frowning as if he was thinking, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Noticing Gin's gaze, she met his eyes and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

Gin:......

Oh, this little liar.

Actually, he was not the only witness to that transaction.

Vodka also saw it through surveillance.

Did Vodka notice anything odd about that meeting at the time?

Did he notice anything about the coin?

Does it need sealing?

Koizumi didn't take his eyes off Gin, and asked, "It was during the Chinese New Year two years ago when you two tested the relationship between me and Rum?

"Speaking of which, Rum tried to buy gin from me that time, was it to test his attitude towards this matter?"

Gin turned his eyes away: "Probably. It seems we were indeed deceived by him."

Koizumi felt relieved.

Good, Gin became her accomplice again.
