Conan: I was overheard by Haibara Ai

Chapter 32 About APTX4869

"Daba! No! Absolutely not!"

At this time, Huiyuan Ai refused in a righteous and stern manner: "Let's not say that I am still researching the antidote, even if you take the medicine that will catch a cold, if you take too much, you will become resistant to the medicine. And in this period, how can you let it go away?" Is Kudo Shinichi making a high-profile appearance? So I don’t agree with asking you to act as Kudo Shinichi.”

At this time, Xiao Ai naturally rejected the two proposals made by Luo Xiu and Conan at once.

It's very simple, either let Luo Xiu pretend to be Kudo Shinichi, or Conan will beat Laobai himself.

Luo Xiu understands that regarding APTX4869, Luo Xiu knew that Huiyuan was not coerced by the organization to start research and development.It's really out of "interest".

Although Xiao Ai didn't want to say the specific effect of the medicine, but Xiao Ai said that what she planned to make was not poison at all.It just became a poison and was used as a tool for organizing murder. This made her very angry but there was nothing she could do about it.

Xiao Ai also explained the principle of medicine to Luo Xiu, but Luo Xiu couldn't understand it at all.

"This is to induce programmed cell death, but at the same time strengthen the activity of telomerase, thereby increasing the proliferation ability of cells. Under normal circumstances, it will cause the death of the user, but in rare cases, due to the accidental effect of the cell self-destruction program, the All the cells of bones, muscles, internal organs, hair, etc. outside the nervous system degenerate until childhood or adolescence."

I really can't understand it.But it is certain that what happened to Ai Jiang and Conan should be "very rare".

And Luo Xiu also heard Ai Jiang say it.Ai Jiang called APTX4869 "the secret drug to revive the dead" and "The purpose of my research is not to make that dreamy drug, but a stupid thing that most people in the world cannot appreciate its value, just like Those Hinamatsuri dolls are only necessary for little girls in Japan, a small country." (This is the original content)

Speaking of "APTX4869", it means "APOPTOXIN4869".

"APOTOXIN" is a combination of APOTORCEISE (cell self-death) and TOXIN (toxin).It is a drug that unconditionally promotes the self-death of human cells, the details of which are unknown.

Here, we will especially investigate what kind of thing this mysterious drug is, and consider its doubts and problems comprehensively.The content in curly brackets is more obscure and can be skipped.

[The concept of APOTORCEISE (cell self-death) is not very old.Traditionally, cell death is considered to be "cell necrosis", and self-death is just a form of necrosis.

Necrosis is a term that refers to the death of cells due to some external cause.For example, scalding hinders the function of cells, damages the cell membrane, and causes the loss of internal cytoplasm and ions to the outside of the cell.That is to say, there is some kind of destructive external force that causes cells to "accidentally die", causing edema, fever, and even suppurative bleeding.Such a remarkable phenomenon, which can be directly observed, has been known for a long time and has long been thought to be the mode of cell death.

In contrast, cell auto-death is a phenomenon in which cells are automatically eliminated and absorbed by surrounding cells.For example, the change from tadpole to frog is the disappearance of the tail.In the initial stage of human finger formation, the pu-like part between the fingers disappears, and the cells in this part die to form the fingers.Or it is not the abnormal self-death of cells caused by radiation or drugs, excessive cell division, self-death of cells whose lifespan has expired, etc. during the metamorphosis stage of life The phenomenon.

Unlike necrosis, which is greatly influenced by surrounding cells, the phenomenon of self-death is very "smart".Careful analysis of the DNA in the nuclei of self-dead cells can identify very small fragmentary changes, a phenomenon known as "coagulation necrosis."This part of the fragment is quickly absorbed by the surrounding cells, and the form after death becomes the nutrient of the surrounding cells.

The interesting thing about cell self-death is that it determines the "place" of the cell's own death.For example, in the case of the above-mentioned finger formation, the dead cells recognize the information that "there are cells that are not needed by themselves" - although this process has not been explained clearly, it can be seen from the process of the disappearance of some cells in the shape of a puddle and the formation of fingers , the message "don't want that part of the cell" is conveyed through the cortex.

If it becomes an irreversible process through radiation and other processes, the cell will judge that "itself is an abnormal cell and cannot divide or proliferate".After making this judgment, the "death genetic gene" on the DNA in the cell will be activated to induce the cell's self-death process.Dozens of "death genes" can now be analyzed, and research on the function of them is underway.

To sum up, "self-death" is a phenomenon in which cells choose to die by their own judgment in order to remove excessively proliferating unnecessary cells, or to make unexpected sudden mutations of somatic cells threaten life.Hence "suicide". 】

And Luo Xiu felt that the medicine must not be used for immortality.Not to mention that Aoyama Gangchang himself clearly denied in the interview that "immortality" is not the real purpose of the organization.

So what is this medicine used for?Luo Xiu didn't know.But Luo Xiu understands that a certain huge organization regards it as a big industry and attaches great importance to it.

But Luo Xiu understood Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai said that many people would think it was a "stupid thing", so Luo Xiu believed in Xiao Ai's method.

Therefore, Luo Xiu felt that the real usefulness of APTX4869 might be the kind that would surprise people.It's just that after knowing it, people will sigh that they really admire the role of Qingshan Gangchang, the sixth child. (This is the author's own imagination after eating the setting. Boldly rule out that the real effect of the drug is to bring people back to life. It also excludes the "immortality" that Aoyama Gangchang has long denied. Of course, there is another hypothesis that is only for reference. For reference, the purpose of the research and development of the Miyano couple is not the direction of immortality or resurrection, but because the direction has already moved towards this direction, which is urgently needed by the people in the black organization but the Miyano couple strongly opposes it. And the Miyano couple Died in an unknown fire, most likely because they refused to use medicine as a research direction for the organization.)

Back to the text, although Xiao Ai disagrees now, but Luo Xiu has repeatedly promised here that he will act in a low-key manner, so Xiao Ai reluctantly agrees.

Of course, Luo Xiu knew there was another reason why Xiao Ai agreed.That was in the "gamble" between Dr. Ali and Xiao Ai yesterday.Dr. Ali thinks that Kanazawa will not be convicted, but Xiao Ai thinks that the murderer is Kanazawa.In other words, it can be seen that Dr. Ali is optimistic about Fei Yingli, while Xiao Ai obviously believes in Luo Xiu's judgment more.

So when Xiao Ai said this, she turned her head to stare at Big Nose, and narrowed her eyes: "You must send Jin Ze to prison!"

Conan didn't understand the reason at first, but after Luo Xiu explained the "gamble" between Dr. Ali and Xiao Ai, Conan naturally shook his head: "You guys are too boring."

Luo Xiu felt the same way, indeed, it was like biting a lighter when he was dead.

In fact, when it comes to Jinze, Luo Xiu personally has a different opinion.

Of course, since this is to play Kudo Shinichi, Luo Xiu needs to know more details like the main character Conan-kun.

And when Luo Xiu talked about finding someone to make him look like Kudo Shinichi, Conan obviously said that he hoped that he could observe him closely.

Luo Xiu has no objection to this point. Although Conan knows Miyano Akemi, it is obvious that if Miyano Akemi changes her appearance, Luo Xiu feels that Conan should not be able to see it in a short time.

In fact, Luo Xiu also felt that Conan was obviously not in a hothead this time, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should appear as Xiaolan's childhood sweetheart.

And Luo Xiu actually disagrees with Conan changing back by himself, because Luo Xiu knows that if there is no world where he exists, Conan actually has the experience of changing back to Shinichi many times, but these experiences actually fully illustrate one point, that is, Luo Xiu thinks Conan shouldn't waste his chance to transform back into Shinichi.The so-called good steel should be used on the blade.

So here we list the situation where Conan changed back to Shinichi in the original work.

【1.Conan accidentally drank baiganjiu to recover from a cold. (new first time)

2.Xiao Ai drinks baiganjiu according to Conan's instructions to recover. (Shiho's first time)

Note: Taking the above-mentioned restoration of the original body under the influence of alcohol as a reference, the developer Haibara developed the antidote test product with the assistance of Dr. A Li.However, because it is a semi-finished product, it is in a trial state, so the phenomenon of childishness reappears in the following situations.

3.On Teidan High School's festival day, Conan took the antidote for the first time and turned into a child about 36 hours later. (new one second time)

4.Dr. A Li mistook the reagent for a cold medicine and gave it to Conan, and then returned to his original body, which turned into a child about 24 hours later. (new one third time)

5.Immediately afterwards, in order to restore the original body, take it again.However, the effect is not long, about 4 hours to childish. (new one for the fourth time)

6.Invited by a rich man to go to London, Conan finds that he does not have a passport, so he asks Haibara to take the antidote reagent, one time for going abroad and one time for immigration inspection, and one time during the stay in London, a total of three times.

7.In order to rescue the young detective team trapped in the burning hut, Xiao Ai took the antidote that she carried with her. (Shiho's second time)

8.In order to go on a school trip with Xiaolan and the others, taking medicine to recover, once during the stay in Kyoto, a total of two times.

other:

In the theatrical version of "Crossroads of the Labyrinth", Shinichi takes the detoxification reagent instead of Hattori Yasuwaha.

OVA "The Stranger Ten Years Later" Because of the high body temperature, the detoxification reagent did not work normally. After recovering to Kudo Shinichi, he fell into a coma, had a dream 10 years later, and returned to Conan when he woke up.The recovery time is 3 hours and 20 minutes, which is more than 20 hours shorter than usual. 】

So looking at the whole situation, Luo Xiu understands that the less the number of times, the lower the drug resistance, and the more beneficial it is for Conan.

And since it was with Conan, Luo Xiu talked more about the incident itself with him.

Lawyer Concubine's pregnancy is obviously an unexpected happy event.But even without this incident, Luo Xiu and Conan would discuss the possibility of the incident.

The difficulty of this incident is actually nothing more than one, that is, where did the disappearing murder weapon go.

How did this guy dispose of the murder weapon in a short time after killing someone?

Later, Luo Xiu also received a call from Concubine Eri's assistant Kuriyama Midori. Kuriyama Midori said that the lawsuit had the upper hand, and that Toshibo Sai lost his temper in court and was going to fight Kanazawa.He was convicted of contempt of court and taken away by the court police.The possibility of being suspended by the Metropolitan Police Department is not ruled out.

And then there's the sad news.Kanazawa's wife's condition has deteriorated, and she probably won't make it through tonight...

A large part of the reason for his critical illness is that Kanazawa no longer pays for his wife's treatment, and even if the Metropolitan Police Department contributes funds out of the principle of protecting witnesses, the situation is not optimistic.

After all, Kanazawa's wife was sent to a private hospital after being shot.And if she had to transfer to another hospital, plus some formalities, it would be difficult for her to last until then.

Luo Xiu touched his chin at this moment, and frowned: "Things may be developing in the direction that Jin Ze wants to see."

Conan understood Luo Xiu's meaning after listening to Luo Xiu's talk about today's situation: "You mean that Kanazawa doesn't plan to let Tonbo Saii go, right? And in Tonbo Sai's situation, he is likely to Go to execute the lynching personally and shoot Jinze to death. If this is the case, Jinze has thought of a perfect plan. Even if he kills his wife, he can also have the opportunity to take revenge on his wife's lover..."

This is obviously predictable for both Luo Xiu and Conan.And Luo Xiu and the others were able to think of this place not because they were so clever, but because someone had already figured it out.

This considered good person is Jin Ze.

What method did this man use to make the murder weapon disappear?

"I decided to think about this problem from a different angle?"

"Another angle?" Conan was a little confused at this time.

"To be precise, it is to think about this incident from the perspective of a fraudster."

Conan naturally shook his head when he heard this: "What kind of fraudster, to put it bluntly, is a liar."

"Although it is the truth, I really don't want to hear it."

"Then Mr. Fraudster, what do you want to see?"

"Of course it depends on what kind of deception Kanazawa has set for us."

"scam?"

"That's right, basically we can be sure that this Jinze didn't kill his wife on a temporary basis. It's clearly planned for a long time. Then his method of making the murder weapon disappear should be similar to magic. So in terms of magic, I Obviously, Kaitou Kidd doesn't understand, but I'm also able to debunk this 'magic trick'."

After finishing speaking, Luo Xiu looked at Conan: "Then our famous detective, what's your opinion on this?"

"I think you guys have changed recently."

"Changed?" Luo Xiu shook his head at this moment: "No, in fact, we haven't known each other for a long time, and you may not even know me, so why do you say that I have changed?"

"There is a comparison." Conan laughed at this time, but he seemed not ready to tell Luo Xiu about his changes.

"Okay, let's talk about the incident, I think we have to start from the places we tend to overlook."

"Neglected place?"

"Have you noticed that we are not familiar with the victim, Miss Tomoko at all."

Chapter 33 When Fake Shinichi Meets Real Xiaoran

Obviously Conan is not surprised by such disguise skills, after all his mother Yukiko is also quite good at it.

What Conan was more interested in was the identity of the person next to Luo Xiu.Conan knew that this person should be disguised, but he could tell that the only person was a woman.

Then Luo Xiu became Kudo Shinichi, and the first contact was also Police Officer Megure.

Luo Xiu actually finds it very strange that the relationship between Police Officer Megure and Kudo Shinichi is surprisingly good.At least regarding the appearance of Kudo Shinichi, Police Officer Megure agreed to conceal it, and Police Officer Megure would also take action on any case that Kudo Shinichi wanted to investigate.

It can only be said that Shinichi's talent is probably recognized by Police Officer Megure.

"Long time no see, Brother Kudo, I just didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about this incident."

"I can only say that I am a little interested."

"Conan is coming too?" Police officer Mu Mu saw Luo Xiu following Conan, and also felt that Conan was a kid who likes to play detective games. He used to follow Detective Maori, but now he follows Shinichi.

It's just that Police Officer Megure is a little confused, Conan and Shinichi are inexplicably similar.

Although police officer Mumu "opened the back door" for Shinichi, he still had to follow him.

This is also in line with the rules of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"I've already heard the details from Conan. Officer Megure, I know that your Metropolitan Police Department is very professional. So this time I boldly ruled it out."

"exclude?"

"That's right, based on where your police may search and exclude, then we have a higher chance of finding blind spots."

"So that's how it is." Officer Meguro nodded: "Actually, let's put it bluntly. As a police officer, I think Kanazawa is the murderer. This is the most critical evidence, and at the same time, there is also a part of the reason... Having a younger brother and sister is really amazing."

The younger brother and sister that Police Officer Meguro mentioned was naturally Fei Yingli.

"Then let's go, Officer Meguro, we are going to search the scene."

"At the scene... this may be a bit difficult. After all, Jinze is not in prison now, and our search warrant is not so easy to approve."

"Ah, I forgot, I don't want to go to Kanazawa's house."

"If you don't go to Kanazawa's house, where are you going?" Officer Meguro was naturally curious.

"Before this, Kanazawa saw Mr. Toshibo Sai and his wife commit adultery, so we are going to that hotel."

Mentioning this, Officer Meguro was naturally a little embarrassed.Although Toshibo Sai is not his subordinate, he is also a member of the Metropolitan Police Department.And when this incident happened, it was obvious that the police were also very helpless.

"Go to the hotel? This is new."

"I think Jin Ze is a smart person, so for a smart person, there are reasons for his actions. I think if you go to the hotel to investigate, the hotel should cooperate."

"That's no problem. Even if you really want to go, you don't have to look for me." Police Officer Megure said with a smile: "I know, you and the lady from Suzuki's family are colleagues."

"The lady from the Suzuki family..." Luo Xiu was naturally taken aback when he heard this, "Could it be that the hotel belongs to the Suzuki family?"

Conan was naturally taken aback, probably because he didn't expect that Luo Xiu didn't know.

Luo Xiu felt a little embarrassed about this.Speaking of which, he is still Fei Yingli's assistant, and he doesn't even know that this hotel belongs to Suzuki's family.

At this time, they arrived at the hotel in the car of Police Officer Megure, but the hotel took the two of them to the hotel room where they were staying at that time.

And because this is a luxury room in the hotel, it is not considered a peak season, but even so, the hotel cleaned the room early in the morning.

At this time, Luo Xiu and Conan were naturally at the front desk, and someone happened to come to open the room. Conan looked at the front desk and the two tourists, rubbing his chin in thought.

Obviously, Conan can think of more places than Luo Xiu.

"Did the hotel's surveillance only capture Jinze in one place?" Conan asked Luo Xiu at this time.

Luo Xiu nodded at this point: "I saw the surveillance from lawyer Fei, and it's true."

"You explained to Police Officer Megure that you wanted to watch that day again... no, it was the surveillance from the previous week."

Luo Xiu knew what Conan should know: "Why, it seems that you have gained something."

"It can only be said that there is a direction." Conan smiled confidently at this time.

Naturally, Luo Xiu did as well, this time he was helping Conan.

Police officer Mumu was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he followed suit.After all, he felt that Shinichi would not want to watch these for no reason.
