Chapter 151: Questions and Answers
"Wait!" Before Conan could ask his question, Xiao Ai interrupted Conan's words and said to Conan's puzzled eyes: "I suddenly thought of a good idea, why don't we play a game." ”
"Game?" I could vaguely see Conan's puzzled expression in the light of the crack in the door.
"Well, if you come and ask me a question, I can choose not to answer it directly, but to be true, in the same way, I will ask you a question, and you can answer me in the same way. Xiao Ai's voice was easy and cunning.
"I was told straight up that there was a catch. What the hell are you up to?" Conan was wary.
"Well, each takes what he needs, how about it, play?"
"Huh, come on, I'm afraid you won't make it. Ladies first, you come first. ”
Their conversation gave me a toothache, obviously, both of them wanted to talk to each other, but they didn't want to be tricked by each other, and the center of the topic was not to think about me, two high-IQ bigwigs exchanged words, and an aftermath might rip me to the bottom.
I really want to go out and stir up the situation, but their conversation makes me can't help but wonder what the two of them will say about me, I secretly pressed my somewhat restless heart, forget it, listen for the time being, if there is a topic that needs harmony, it's not too late to go out and stir things up.
"Then you're welcome, first question," Xiao Ai's voice paused and said, "What time has Minghui been sleeping lately?"
"He has been sleeping a little irregularly lately, sometimes he falls asleep as soon as he gets home after eating, or even falls asleep while eating, but sometimes, I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I see him playing with his mobile phone, about three or four o'clock in the morning. Conan reminisced.
"What about when I'm in school? I mean when I'm not in school. Xiao Ai then asked.
"Hey, these are two questions, right?" Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "According to the agreement, it's time for me to ask." ”
"Well, you ask. ”
"I remember you said that you were eight years old when you first met him, did he tell you that he was eight years old, or did you estimate it?" Conan asked Xiao Ai with a straight face.
"I guess. Xiao Ai calmly said his answer, which made my heart secretly applaud, it seems that Xiao Ai didn't intend to vent my old bottom from the beginning, but the heart I just let go of a little bit was raised with Xiao Ai's sentence "It's my turn".
"That's just the question, does he sleep more at school? when I'm not at school. ”
"You don't know that guy's virtues, pretend to be a child when you're happy, and sleep when you're unhappy...... Wait, when you say that, it suddenly occurred to me that if you distinguish carefully, he does seem a little more lazy and sleeps more often when you're not around. Conan touched his chin in thought.
"Does he usually disappear? I mean, he went out without saying hello to you. Xiao Ai followed up and asked again.
"Hey, you're foul again!" Conan rolled his eyes, his voice full of helplessness.
"What's the matter, a little gentlemanly demeanor, let the lady!Okay, you ask!" Xiao Ai's cold joke with a slightly coquettish tone made me goosebumps all over my body, the last time she spoke to me in this tone, it was when she was organizing me to use the new medicine she developed to graft my bones, and that time my arm was swollen for a whole month.
"According to what you said to me before, the guy first met you when he was about seven or eight years old, with black hair and memory loss, but he had excellent ability, outstanding language talent, and liked Chinese elements, so what was his height at that time?"
"As tall as me, more than a meter. This answer is absolutely absolute, and there is nothing wrong with it. I was on the verge of laughing. According to this rhythm, when Xiao Wai put Conan in his underwear, Conan probably didn't even ask. Xiao Ai knew that I didn't want Conan to know my true identity, so I'm sure she would be able to help me hide it from Conan.
"Sincerity! Gray Yuan-san, do you understand sincerity! If I answer questions with your attitude, our game will be meaningless!" Conan knocked on the table twice, a little angry.
"Okay, okay, I said, it's about one meter two. Xiao Ai spread his hands and reluctantly answered the question head-on.
Conan focused on my height, weight, hairstyle, accent, and even eye color when I was a child, while Xiao Wai also focused on my sleep, activities and hobbies on weekdays, and the rules of action.
Both of them were cautiously testing each other, starting with the simplest questions, trying to break down each other's defenses little by little, but twenty minutes passed, and both of them helplessly found that they had been going around in circles for a long time, and the information they had received was pitiful. Xiao Ai comprehensively showed Conan what it means to be a gifted child, that is, except for outstanding talent, there are no characteristics that can be used to determine identity. Such children can often be seen on TV, and there is nothing unusual about it. And Conan also made Xiao Ai understand that in addition to liking to sleep, I am a little playful, what a normal and lively child I am.
I was a little relieved to see them having so much fun. These little things may attract someone's attention, but they really can't say anything, simply put, the two of them talk nonsense for twenty minutes.
"It can't go on like this!" Conan straightened up suddenly, "Bang!" and slammed his palms on the table: "If we go on like this, we won't make any progress, since you're so smart, let's just make it clear." ”
"Agreed. ”
"We need to talk openly and honestly. First of all, I think the basis of our conversation is that the two of us want to know the person 'Akiki Edogawa' and want to help him. ”
"So to speak. ”
"Then the purpose is the same, there is no conflict of interest between us, and I can tell you the rest except that I can't reveal what he wants to hide from you. ”
"Well, so do I. Xiao Ai agreed.
"In that case, let's start the game again. Conan smiled slightly: "The old rule, you still ask first, you can directly tell me what you want to know, except for the questions that I really can't answer, I can tell you the rest truthfully." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask directly, Minghui is secretly doing something from us, right?"
Fortunately, although Conan knew that I was making some small movements in secret, he didn't know anything specific, and even so, my little heart was still scared and "thumped"!
"Yes, he is doing something, and trying to hide it from us, and I think he is doing some effort by his own means, which makes me a little uneasy, and I fear that what he is hiding may be illegal. Conan agreed with Xiao Ai's statement and said, "It's my turn." ”
"From a biogenetic point of view, how likely is it that two people who are not related by blood will be similar in appearance?"
"From a biological point of view, it is almost impossible for two people who are not related by blood to look the same, because a person's height, weight, and appearance are affected by the complex effects of multiple genomes, which is not something that can be said in one sentence, but if it is only partially similar, this probability is still very large, after all, from the perspective of human genetic similarity, the difference in genes accounts for only 0.3%, so you can often hear someone say that someone around you has some facial organs like such and such a star. ”
I was overjoyed by Xiao Ai's words, which were undoubtedly correct from a professional point of view, but she was deliberately biasing Conan's thinking. Because Conan and I are very similar in terms of height, weight, including body shape, coupled with the vague similarity of faces, this probability is already very low, but Xiao Wai first replaced the similar concept in Conan's question with "completely the same", and then pulled Conan's thinking from the perspective of overall similarity and local similarity, and only emphasized the problem of local similarity, which is actually a kind of linguistic inducement.
Invisibly, Conan didn't even realize that his brother had never looked the same as him, and his eagerness to confirm whether I was his missing brother by the similarity in my face had become a trap that prevented him from thinking.
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Conan was stunned for a moment, fell into deep thought, and his momentum began to lose his domineering attitude.
I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't help it.
"It's my turn," Xiao Ai waited for a while, and seeing that Conan didn't mean to speak, he coughed his throat and said, "In the process of talking to you, will he mention some daily things, such as what he likes to eat recently, what movie he has watched, etc.?"
"No," Conan shook his head decisively, "When I was talking to Uncle Maori and Xiaolan, he spent most of his time listening quietly or in a daze. Well, there are occasional selling moe. to me. ”
"Did he really remember nothing or pretended not to remember when he was in the Order, or did he lie to the possibility of the Order pretending to have amnesia?"
"I think it's very unlikely, and even if a child is seven or eight years old has an excellent IQ, it is impossible for him to catch up with adults psychologically. When he first arrived at the organization, he was closely observed by the organization for a month from the moment he opened his eyes, and if it was a false amnesia, I don't think a child could hide it from the organization. It's my turn. "Xiao Ai, who just promised to ensure the truth, ate what she said in a blink of an eye, it's really terrible, no wonder my mother told me that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can act......
"Does his body temperature usually rise inexplicably?"
"How do I know?" Conan rolled his eyes helplessly.
"You always have contact with each other in your daily life, such as touching each other while you are sleeping. Little Mourning looked at him in amazement.
"Hey, don't say anything that is so easy to cause misunderstanding, you can't touch it when you sleep, we sleep completely separately, although we are in the same room. ”
"What about the skin?" Xiao Ai suddenly asked Conan eagerly, "Will the skin turn red?"
"You foul ......"
"Don't worry about it! Anyway, you tell me first!!" Xiao Ai ignored the agreement, and interrupted Conan's words loudly, and his tone was eager, which made Conan stunned for a while, taking Xiao Ai's momentum, thinking about it, and said curtly: "Hawkers, it seems to be a little, especially when taking a bath, even if this guy doesn't soak in the bathtub, the skin on his body will quickly turn red." As for whether the body temperature will rise, I really haven't paid attention to it. ”
"I see. Xiao Ai was thoughtful.
"The ...... It's my turn, right?" Conan asked Xiao Ai with some trepidation.
"You ask. ”
Conan froze: "Assuming what you just said is true, he really had amnesia when he was a child, then has he ever explored his life history and lost memories?"
Conan's words made me a little nervous, if a person who has lost his memory has no concern for his past and family, and has no curiosity at all, then in addition to the fact that this person is naturally indifferent, in such a rare case, this person's amnesia must be problematic.
But to my surprise, Xiao Ai did not answer Conan's question directly, but talked about the scene when I cried in her arms.
He was crying very sadly, but he didn't know why. She said.
Xiao Ai's words reminded me of the moon that night, very round, very bright, very clean.
This is another false inducement, the words are true, but once again deviated from Conan's train of thought, who said that crying means amnesia, this memory at home has always been my most precious treasure. Why was I crying?
I seriously recalled the situation at that time, but found that in my memory, I didn't remember anything except that I cried very sadly that day and the moon was beautiful that day. After trying hard for a while, I found that I had gained nothing, so I simply gave up on myself, and since I forgot about it, it probably wasn't a big deal.
"According to the agreement, it's time for me to ask, one last question," Xiao Ai hesitated for a moment, and said, "How is his appetite lately? How is his energy? I mean, in the process of your daily life, does he have enough patience and curiosity, and does he have a lot of mood swings?"
"It's not a problem anymore, okay?" Conan couldn't help but complain, but still answered her question seriously: "This guy is generally in a stable mood, but sometimes he is very lazy and can't wake up, and sometimes he is unusually excited." By the way, at this point, I think there's one thing I'd probably like to remind you of. Conan's expression suddenly became serious.
"What?" Seeing that Conan suddenly became serious, Xiao Wai also became serious.
"Do you remember the worst time you had a fight? was at the Twin Towers, where you got into an argument with him because you didn't want to listen to him. ”
"Well, I remember, he almost wanted to hit me that time. Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly bitterly.
"I actually always felt that his mood was a little wrong at that time, and, you may not have noticed, his eyes were frighteningly red, like rubies, no, more blood-red than rubies. It's not a big deal, but I'm always feeling a little bit bad. ”
“...... I see, I'll take notice. Xiao Wai pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
Conan's words made me a little silent, and at that time I didn't know why I was angry, and I couldn't control it if I wanted to, and I almost made a big mistake. Although Conan came to me to talk about this problem later, this problem never appeared again, and I gradually forgot about it, but I didn't expect it to be brought up again by Conan now. They don't know the reason for these Conans, but I can vaguely guess a little, probably because of the illness that Dr. Konoha said.
"Then I only have one last question," Seeing that Xiao Ai wrote down what he said, Conan also smiled slightly, and organized his words a little hesitantly and awkwardly: "Maybe, I mean, is it possible, Minghui him...... It's Yuichi? Although the time of Yuichi's disappearance doesn't match the time you met him, you see, maybe you didn't know when he first joined the organization? Or was it that he was taken to another place before he was brought into the organization, so it dragged on for a while? And the moment he woke up, he understood his situation and pretended to have amnesia to protect himself? Or ......"
Conan kept throwing out bold and unfounded assumptions that were completely inconsistent with his usual evidence-based style, until Xiao Ai interrupted him.
Conan, who is usually sharp-toothed, is gone, and at this moment he seems a little clumsy, a little flustered, a little expectant, and a little ...... Afraid.
I have to say that my brother's judgment is really sharp, although it is pure speculation, he almost guessed most of the things correctly!
"Enough, I see what you mean. Xiao Ai interrupted Conan's words and let out a sigh: "Maybe, I can only tell you maybe." Maybe what you say is right, maybe it's all false, but aren't you a detective, if you are a detective, you must be able to discover the truth through your own efforts, right?"
Xiao Wai's heart softened.
In the face of such Conan, Xiao Ai left behind the verbal wit and inducement trap he had played against Conan before, and did not ruthlessly break Conan's hope. Outside the door, I watched Conan's ecstatic expression reveal little by little, and I couldn't help but be silent.
I can't complain about Xiao Wai, because I know that even I, in the face of my brother's expression, can't resolutely say something negative. I even thanked Xiao Wai a little, although her words added a lot of risks to exposing my identity, but she also gave my brother hope to work hard.
Hawkers, let it be, after all, you can't hide from what you should have come, if your identity is revealed, it's a big deal to join forces with my brother and fight with the organization to break the net! I smiled bitterly and made a decision in my heart. Strangely, the moment I made this decision, I seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
"Well, the things I want to ask are basically the same, so let's do it today, thank you, Gray Yuan, thank you!" Conan's accent accent on the last thank you word, Xiao Wai and I both understood that this gratitude came from the ethereal hope for him.
"Just take what you need, don't thank you, if it's okay, you can go back quickly, lest that guy find out that you haven't been suspicious for so long. Xiao Ai waved his hand absently and gave Conan an an eviction order.
Just as I was about to retreat, Conan's voice sounded again, and it immediately attracted my attention: "Although this is not the scope of the agreement, but I am talking to myself, if you don't want to answer, forget it, although you quarreled with him this time because of the reason for bickering and sleeping pills, but in fact, you also deliberately quarreled with him to fight a cold war APTX4869, right? ”
"......" replied to Conan's silence, Xiao Ai didn't seem to be going to answer Conan's words, Conan waited for a while, saw that Xiao Ai didn't move, shrugged his shoulders and turned around to leave.
"Recently, his resistance has become worse and worse, he catches a cold at every turn, his resistance to cold drugs is becoming stronger and stronger, his body temperature has begun to show signs of instability, sleep, including the emotions you mentioned, are developing in an unstable direction, I am scared to ......"
Xiao Ai's soft voice made Conan and I don't know what to say for a while, I always thought I covered up my illness well, but I forgot that Xiao Ai was also a genius international student at Stanford University School of Medicine back then, even if I didn't tell her the truth, she could judge my condition from my various performances, right?
"Don't worry, it's all ...... It's going to get better. After a long time, Conan finally uttered a slightly pale word, not knowing whether he was comforting Xiao Wai or himself.
Forget it, it seems that there is no possibility of their conversation going on, so I'd better withdraw first, so as not to be discovered by them.
"Huh, Xiaohui, what are you doing here? Aren't you looking for Xiao Ai? Xiao Ai and Conan are inside, right? Why don't you just go in?" Just as I was about to turn around, I heard Dr. Asasa's familiar voice behind me, which made me feel cold!
In an instant, both Conan and Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly shot in the direction of the door!
When did Dr. Asa get behind me!!!
What should I do if I am caught eavesdropping?
