Chapter 45 Confession

"Cut, forget it. Conan stared at me for a long time, then cut off, gave up his persuasion of me, and turned to Dr. Asasa and said his question, "Yes, tell me about her." So, why are the people from this organization at your house? I didn't have them when I left last night. ”

"It was on a rainy night yesterday, probably close to the wee hours of the morning, and Dr. Asa picked me up at the door of your house, so he brought me back. Shirley flipped through a page of the magazine, and answered the question in the place of Dr. Asa without raising her head.

"You fell at the door of my house?" Conan picked up the hidden message in Shirley's words. Why did she collapse at the door of her house? Could it be that she knew about my existence in the first place?

"You don't know yet. Shirley looked up from the magazine and looked at Conan, "The organization has already sent investigators to your home twice to investigate, because of all the members who drank that drug, you are the only one who is alive or dead. In order to ensure safety, organizations have traditionally done this kind of finishing touch. ”

"When you first visited, your house was full of dust and there was no trace of it, so the first time they went home. Not long ago, I returned to Japan from the United States, just in time for their second investigation, and of course, as the developer of this drug, I naturally went with it, and the results of this investigation are basically the same as the previous investigation, and I was also convinced that you have died, just like them. However, a serendipitous discovery struck me when I discovered that all your clothes from elementary school were missing from your closet. ”

Well, is it really because of this that I discovered the fact that he is not dead? I listened to Shirley's explanation, and nodded slightly in my heart, before, because I suspected the relationship between Conan and Kudo Shinichi, I also secretly infiltrated his home to investigate, and naturally I also discovered this.

"Kudo Shinichi didn't die after being poured APTX4869, but it was very likely that he became smaller, and I came to this conclusion at the time. Since there have been cases of mice getting smaller in previous experiments, it is not surprising that I would come to this inference. Shirley lowered her head, as if immersed in the magazine in her hand, and said something that made Conan panic.

"So, the people of your organization, already know that I'm not dead?" Conan's hands clenched tightly with a look of horror on his face.

I also frowned when I heard this, no, if the organization knew about this, Conan would not be alive until now. And I, I should have been found by the people of the organization a long time ago. What's going on? Could it be, she? I tilted my head sideways and glanced at Shirley.

"Thank me, I've changed your profile to confirm death. Sure enough, Shirley's next sentence confirmed my suspicions, but why would this woman do that?

"Why?" Conan was puzzled.

"Because I'm very interested in you as a person, and I want you to continue to live, if I tell the Order, there's a good chance you'll be killed by the Order before I get your hands on you. However," Shirley's words made Conan's heart feel relieved, but at this moment, Shirley's tone suddenly changed, "If the organization later knows that the information was changed by me, a traitor, it is very likely that it will start a new investigation." ”

"Back, betrayer?" Conan looked at Shirley in surprise, "What?

I looked at Shirley's familiar face, my heart was also full of surprise, and I sneered, this word really suited her. However, then again, this woman is really bold.

"The fact that they use drugs that are still in development is probably a little bit of what makes me sick of the organization.

But there is another reason, and that is my sister. Shirley mentioned that her sister seemed to be feeling a little down.

"Sister?" Conan looked at Shirley.

Sister? I also thought of that woman, Akemi Miyano? Heh, speaking of which, I still don't know if that woman is alive or dead. I remembered what Shirley did to me, and I didn't know if I was doing the right thing or the wrong thing about saving Akemi Miyano.

"Sister, I don't know if I'm alive or dead now. ”

"I don't know if I live or die?"

"That's right, it's all done by the organization. When I didn't know it, I tried to kill my sister secretly. If not...... No, nothing. Shirley closed her eyes, as if she was forcibly suppressing something.

"......" I looked at Shirley, speechless. Oh, Shirley, don't tell me, you're guilty.

"After that, I asked many times, but the organization never gave me any answer. So, before I got an official response from the organization, I decided to protest by interrupting the drug research. Of course, the organization will not ignore this act of resistance, and I was locked up in a room in the institute. I figured that the organization would find the next person to replace me anyway, and I might as well kill myself before the organization executed me, so I took the medicine I had with me. Unexpectedly, instead of dying, I became smaller. I escaped down the trash chute in my room, and outside, I was unaccompanied, and the only hope was you, Shinichi Kudo. Shirley paused and looked at Conan, "I think you, who are in the same situation as me, must be able to understand what happened to me." ”

"What are you kidding? How do you want me to understand a guy like you who develops that kind of drug to harm people?!" Unexpectedly, or perhaps expectedly, after listening to Shirley's explanation, Conan completely lost his usual calmness, but instead drank loudly.

"......" Shirley's eyes constricted, and she was silent.

"Hey, Shinichi......" Dr. Asasa tries to stop Conan's actions.

"Do you know how many people have been killed by this drug you invented?" Conan stared at Shirley in an excited tone as if he hadn't heard.

"I didn't do it voluntarily either. Under Conan's rage, Shirley couldn't even look Conan in the eye, she lowered her head and whispered as if to defend herself, "I don't want to do that." ”

"What are you talking about?!!" Conan wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Dr. Asa in time.

"Well, Shinichi, you don't want to be like this, isn't she already out of that organization. Dr. Agasa's words somewhat calmed Conan, at least he wasn't doing anything drastic.

"Besides, Shinichi, think about it at best, since she is the maker of that **, it will be much easier to make an antidote. Right?"

"The information of the drugs is all in the computer, how can I remember such a huge amount of information. Shirley stood up, mercilessly extinguishing Conan's fledgling hope.

"Damn!" Conan scolded, "then, tell me, where is that institute?"

"It's useless. Shirley walked over to the bookshelf and picked up a newspaper, "This is today's newspaper, you look at this news." ”

"Oh, it's the news from the drug manufacturing plant, I saw it today. It's really a fire, and the cause is completely unknown. Dr. Asa sighed as he looked at the news that Shirley was pointing to.

This is, that institute. I looked at the familiar building and understood what Shirley was trying to express, and sure enough, it was the style of the organization.

"So, even if you go, you won't find anything. ”

"What?

"That's right, as you might imagine, it's the organization's doing. Shirley regretfully announced the news. "Thinking about it this way, as long as it is related to me, the organization will probably be destroyed. ”

"So, isn't it?" Conan thought of a possibility.

"Well, the organization's actions are indeed very fast, I only escaped last night, and this matter has been reported during the day today. I guess the organization is looking for me right now, hmph, they wouldn't have thought that my body had become so small. Shirley sneered, then changed her words and continued:

"However, if the organization continues like this and continues to use that drug to harm people, it is inevitable that something will be discovered, and in addition to that, it is not excluded that new researchers will discover this secret first. At that point, the organization will have a picture of me as a child and will definitely do their best to find me. Shelly said this, turned her head, and looked at Conan with an inexplicable smile, "What's the matter, will you kick me out as a troublesome person? High school detective, Shinichi Kudo?Yes, I participated in the murder, created the **, and was hunted down by the organization, to you, I am indeed a hateful and dangerous woman, and you have no reason to keep me here." ”

"......" Conan was silent.

I looked at Conan with interest, yes, I really want to see how you will choose with such a righteous heart?

"Hmph, not necessarily. Conan was silent for a moment before speaking, "If your affairs are exposed, then my affairs will probably be broken." I'm sorry for Dr. Asasa, but it's better to leave you here and continue to be an elementary school student, than to run around outside and make mistakes. ”

"Ahra, you're kind. Shirley paused, blinked, and said.

I sat on the couch and looked at Conan, holding my chin with my lower hand leisurely, and closed my eyes in contemplation. Actually, personally, I don't want Shirley to live here.

What Shirley just said is right, when the organization discovers the special properties of that drug, the organization will definitely turn over the photos of Shirley when she was a child, and if Shirley is found here, then Conan will also be discovered. At that point, the organization will inevitably come to investigate, and if I am discovered by accident, even though the organization has already determined that I am dead, and may even think that I am long gone in the crematorium, they will definitely arrest me.

So, intellectually, I still don't think Shirley should be left here. As for the emotional...... I skimmed my head, not wanting to think about it.

"Ah, then, do you need to transfer your parents as well?" Dr. Asasa asked, scratching his head.

"No, my parents were supposed to die when I was very young. Now I don't have any worries. Shirley turned away from everyone.

"I don't have any concerns?" I sneered suddenly, Conan looked at me strangely, is it a delusion?

"......" Shirley shuddered when she heard my words.

"Do you really have no relatives?" asked Dr. Asasa with no resignation.

"I only have one sister besides my parents. I was sent to the United States for further study for a period of time, but my sister was different, she was just a peripheral member of the organization, and she could make friends freely, go to school freely, and go out freely like all ordinary people. Shirley thought back to her sister with both envy and sadness.

"Wait a minute, I remember that my sister once sent me a disk with pictures of her and her friends climbing together, but when I sent it back, a disk with the medication information was gone. ”

"You mean to say?!" Shirley's words gave Conan hope.

"Yes, that's right. I guess I accidentally sent it out with me. Shirley finally stopped Conan and nodded in disappointment.

"So, where are those disks now?" asked Conan eagerly.

"It should be in the hands of my sister's mentor, and I've heard my sister say that she gave all the disks to the mentor named Masaji Hirota. Shirley replied.

"Masami Hirota, do you know where he is a mentor?" asked Conan.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Nanyang University. ”

Soon, we found the mentor through the number broadcast, and luckily, the mentor did have a strange disk in his hand. After the appointed time, Dr. Asa hung up the phone.

"In that case, then I won't go with you yet. I stood up and looked at the few people who were about to leave.

"Huh?" Conan looked at me, puzzled.

"The amount of information I learned today is a bit large, so I need to go back and digest it slowly. Go ahead, it's not too early, so I'll go first. I explained this to a few people, and as I spoke, I had already picked up my school bag.

"Oh, then, then you go first. Conan hesitated, he felt that Mochizuki was still just a child after all, and he shouldn't have been allowed to participate in this, and now, Mochizuki offered to leave, and Conan was happy to do so.

"Mochizuki, you ...... today's events"

"I know, I'm not going to tell anyone, don't worry. "Looking at Conan's worried face, I already knew what he was trying to say.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Mochizuki. Conan waved at me.

"Well, what, didn't Gray Plains-san say goodbye to me?" I nodded at Conan, then looked at Shirley.

“……”

"Well, that's indifference. Conan, Doctor, I'm leaving. I let out a wicked grin, shrugged my shoulders, and left.
