Stay away from Conan

Chapter 21 Lawyer

In front of the mirror in the hotel room, Gao Yuan looked at his twenty-year-old self in the mirror and began to think deeply.

Just now, in the experience of almost two hours, Gao Yuan experienced that his body shrunk to the size of about seven or eight years old, and then returned to its original state in a very short time.

During this period of time, Gao Yuan endured unbearable pain, but still did not cry out to attract others' attention. At this moment, everything passed again, as if the changes in the past two hours were like hallucinations, and now with Compared with myself before, after only experiencing two heavy sweats, my cold seemed to be cured.

The pain before made Gao Yuan unable to calm down and think. Now that everything has passed, Gao Yuan began to calm down and think.

My own changes just now confirmed that my reasoning when I first time traveled was correct. The original body was indeed killed by taking "APTX4869", and because I had time traveled, my body that was supposed to be dead came back to life.

But there is a problem that I have never thought of before. The body is still the body of the original body. Doesn’t that mean that the efficacy of “APTX4869” still remains in one’s body?

In my impression, Haihara Ai once mentioned the efficacy of this medicine in the original work.

Induces programmed cell death, but at the same time enhances telomerase activity, thereby increasing cell proliferation. Normally, the person who takes it will die, but in rare cases, due to the accidental action of the cell's self-destruction program, all cells in the bones, muscles, internal organs, hair, etc., except the nervous system, will degenerate to the stage of childhood or adolescence.

In other words, people who take "APTX4869" have only two outcomes: death or becoming smaller.

But now, a third situation has occurred - people who were supposed to die came back to life because of something that cannot be explained by time travel!

However, after this body came back to life, it did not die again due to the effects of the drug, nor did it shrink in size. Therefore, even if Gao Yuan thought at that time that the original body's death should be caused by taking "APTX4869", there was no Continue to think about the effects of this medicine on your body.

Now, considering that in the original work, it can be seen that Conan, Haibara Ai and others have permanently shrunk their bodies due to drugs. The effect of this drug on the human body is long-lasting and will not cause the drug to fail due to the metabolism of the human body. That is not This means that after taking the drug, the original body has had a permanent impact on the body! It's just that this influence has turned into a situation that Gao Yuan cannot understand at the moment:

Originally, people who became smaller due to drugs would temporarily recover their bodies after drinking Baigan, but my current situation is completely the opposite, because drinking Baigan made their bodies temporarily smaller - completely the opposite!

In other words, my current physical condition is very abnormal - but coming back from the dead is not normal in the first place.

Considering the existence of drug resistance in the human body, it is possible that people who have taken "APTX4869" will develop tolerance to the drug, thereby preventing the drug from taking effect. However, after taking Baigan, the sensitivity of the body's cells is reduced, making the drug less effective. Is there room for short-term performance?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan sighed: Unless another person comes back to life after taking "APTX4869", he can't prove whether his guess is accurate. If he wants to understand the condition of his body, he may have to ask The developer of this drug - Miyano Shiho, who will be Haibara Ai in the future!

After changing out of his sweat-soaked clothes, Gao Yuan left the hotel, went to a tavern, and bought a bottle of Baigan.

After drinking again, Gao Yuan showed a clear look - except for being a little drunk, his body did not shrink anymore - this body also began to become immune to this situation.

In summary, my situation is completely opposite to that of Conan and Haibara Ai! They will recover by taking the antidote, and they may become smaller as a result!

Is this because of the body? Or, was it the reason for the panel that caused him to cross over?

There is no answer, everything can only wait to be answered later, just like why the original father was not cremated.

Now, as he still maintains his adult body, he should think carefully about his promotion challenge. If everything goes well, he can go to Tokyo - Takato thought after looking at the photo of Miyano Shiho.

The next day, Osaka Prefecture, Shimada Law Firm.

Gao Yuan wore the blue trench coat and came to the law firm. Today happened to be Monday, the day when the law firm worked normally.

When I arrived at the front desk, I was immediately greeted by the front desk staff, a lady wearing a black suit.

"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

"Let me ask, is Lawyer Shimada here?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Sorry sir, do you have an appointment?"

Gao Yuan said, looking at the workstation table on the wall, and saw that the lawyer named Shimada Kaoru at the top showed that he was at his workstation.

"Oh, I don't have an appointment, but if Lawyer Shimada is here, I still hope you can tell me that I have something urgent."

Gao Yuan said.

"Okay, could you tell me what the emergency is?"

The front desk asked politely.

Gao Yuan thought for a moment, "Just say it's about Mr. Nishikawa."

"Okay, please wait."

The lady at the front desk said, came to the desk, picked up the intercom phone on the desk, dialed the number, and the call was quickly connected.

The lady quickly explained Gao Yuan's purpose in a few words. Then after hearing the instructions on the other end of the phone, she looked up and asked Gao Yuan.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your surname?"

"Oh, my surname is Mingzhi."

"OK."

The front desk heard the answer and informed Lawyer Shimada of Gao Yuan's surname on the other end of the phone. Then, he clearly felt that there was a moment of silence on the other side, and then gave instructions to the front desk.

After hanging up the phone, the receptionist looked at Gao Yuan.

"Mr. Akechi, please follow me."

The front desk said, coming over to lead the way for Gao Yuan.

Walking up to the second floor of the office, on the stairs, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came down from the stairs. The receptionist and Gao Yuan subconsciously walked to the side to make way for the man.

It was just an insignificant thing at first, but when he caught a glimpse of the man walking down, Gao Yuan recognized him - he was Nishikawa Hiroaki, the son of Nishikawa Tetiao and the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Arriving at the door of lawyer Shimada Kaoru's office, the front desk knocked on the door. After receiving a positive reply, the front desk opened the door for Gao Yuan and motioned for him to come in.

When Gao Yuan walked into the office, the front desk closed the door thoughtfully. Looking at the large office and the middle-aged lawyer wearing thick black-rimmed glasses on the desk, who was dignified but not distant, Gao Yuan didn't know where to start.

However, this deadlock only lasted for a while. After waiting for a while after closing the door at the front desk, Shimada Kaoru spoke first.

"Mr. Akechi, did you see Mr. Nishikawa who just left?"

With that said, Shimada Kaoru stood up and motioned Gao Yuan to sit on the reception sofa in the middle of the office.

"seen."

Gao Yuan answered, sat down and did not make any more moves.

Shimada Kaoru sat across from Takayuan. Instead of delving deeper into the previous inquiry, she changed the topic.

"Then you unlocked the code in the magazine?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan knew that he was right: if Saikawa Tejo really wanted to find an illegitimate child, and it was related to the distribution of the will, then as a lawyer who made Mr. Saikawa's will, there was no reason for him to be completely unaware.
