Chapter 101: The Phantom of the Old Days (2)

The back of the sofa was not high, and Kaedehara put his chin on the back of his hands and looked down at the gray hara who was lying on the sofa, and could vaguely feel her breath with the smell of wine.

Looking at his face reflected in the pair of slightly misty ice blue eyes, Kaede Yuan broke the brief silence:

"The antidote has been made?"

“… It's just a temporary antidote," Gray Yuan replied after a moment's hesitation, "Made with ingredients extracted from white dry wine." ”

She wanted to wait until she finished the test, but now she obviously couldn't hide it.

And... Being looked at like this, she inexplicably didn't want to lie.

In normal times, she would never lie on the sofa and look at Kudo like she does now. It's just that she's dizzy now and doesn't want to move.

She wanted to just look at it, too.

It was the first time she had seen Kudo from this angle, the first time she had observed the way he looked at her so directly.

In her gaze, the person in front of her softened his gaze, and then chuckled softly.

"You and Mei don't look like each other at all."

“… You say it's just a casual name. ”

"yes," Kaedehara said solemnly, "but when I came up with a name, I made it up by the way. ”

"For example, they are very good at cooking."

Gray Yuan snorted softly to express his dissatisfaction, not wanting to speak.

Kaedehara also knew that she was not in a good state right now, and didn't care if she responded, but continued to talk.

"Just leave it to Conan and me for the test of the medicine."

"You are a professional, and you developed the drugs and antidotes, so you know better."

"If Conan and I try the medicine, you can take care of it. And if something goes wrong with your own test, Conan and I can't do anything. ”

"So, don't do it again."

It looked like she might fall asleep at any moment, but Kaedehara still felt like she had listened to it. She also withdrew the gaze she had looked at herself, and was now looking at the ceiling, her gaze wandering.

"I thought you'd be a little more sensible." Kaedehara continued, "The last time I was in the cave, you asked me how I was when Conan turned back... I guess it was the last time I told him he was going to have to make me an antidote if he wanted to change back, so he asked you..."

"It's just a joke."

This is really just a joke, after all, the so-called "split" is just a setting he made up.

It's just that the performance of Conan, Gray Plains, and even Dr. Asasa makes him feel a little weird. I actually want to comfort them because of such a casual joke...

But in any case, this also means that he is being cared for, and Feng Yuan is still quite moved in his heart.

But... It's kind of bothersome to say that it's always like this.

"You see, Conan and I have both changed back once, and nothing strange has happened. The antidote is just a dry ingredient, and we have all tried it once. ”

Kaedehara continued.

"If you're still not sure... Then give it a try. One of Conan and I took the antidote, and you can get research data from both of us at the same time. ”

"Seeing that you don't react, then it's decided?"

"I'll find time to talk to Conan. As for you—" Kaedehara paused, giving up the option of carrying her back to the bed, "Just sleep here for a while, and I'll go get you a quilt." ”

Ash Yuan mourned did not refuse.

As a scientist who can publish top journal papers at the age of eleven, and as a developer of APTX4869, she doesn't really think that there will be such a thing as two people turning back into one.

It's just that in the previous nightmare, the scene of "Kudo" not being there always haunted her mind, making it difficult for her to look at the current situation rationally.

After listening to a big phone call and maintaining a sleeping position, Gray Yuan Ai soon felt sleepiness hit and fell asleep deeply.

……

Because it was not suitable to talk about drug-related things on the phone, after Ash Yuan fell asleep, Kaedehara went out to discuss with Conan.

Conan's side has already used Uncle Maori to solve the case.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Kaede Yuan knew very well that it would be Conan who would test the drug, after all, Conan had been thinking about it for a long time. On the other hand, Kaede Yuan himself has no idea about changing back "temporarily".

It was impossible for him to snatch the opportunity to turn back into Kudo Shinichi with Conan to meet Xiaolan, not to mention that he was not interested in it.

At the same time, the effect of the temporary antidote is similar to that of white dry wine, so there will not be much risk, and in Kaedehara's memory, there is nothing wrong this time. So for letting Conan test the drug, Kaedehara doesn't have any psychological burden.

Conan embraced it, as he thought. Ecstasy, to be exact.

However, the temporary antidote is time-limited, and Conan naturally can't take it now, but plans to make good use of his time.

On the other hand, in order to further dispel Xiaolan's suspicion of Conan's identity at the same time, Kaedehara also plans to play Conan for a while, and then appear with "Kudo Shinichi".

So the two carefully discussed the plan.

In the evening, Conan secretly stuffed a set of washed clothes into his school bag, told Ran to discuss the performance with Kaedehara in a few days, and ran all the way to Dr. Asasa's house.

Gray Plains has woken up.

Kaedehara didn't delay much, took a shower, changed into Conan's clothes, and then put on his glasses and went to the Maori detective agency.

When they saved Akemi Miyano before, the two had already exchanged identities once, so Kaedehara and Conan were familiar with it.

Gray Yuan Wai came out of the basement and explained the precautions to Conan.

"The antidote hasn't been tested yet," said Grayplain, "and I don't promise it won't go wrong." ”

"It's okay!"

“… The effect lasts about two days or so, and may actually be shorter. ”

“… Okay, too. ”

"You can only go and see your Xiaolan in private," Gray Yuan then reminded, "and you are not allowed to show your face in public." ”

On the organization's side, Kudo Shinichi is dead, and Kudo Shinichi is also missing at the school, so if it's too public, it will obviously have a negative impact.

"Got it!"

Although the conditions were one after another, Conan still accepted it honestly, after all, he was the one who was more anxious. What's more, he didn't plan to show up in public.,Tomorrow the school will probably just clean up the mess of the school festival.,He doesn't want to do this...

"You take the antidote tomorrow at noon, and then cooperate with me to do some tests and let me take a sample, okay?"

"No problem, anything." Conan said that he planned to ask Xiaolan to have dinner with him tomorrow night, and by the way, he would say something that he had wanted to say a long time ago, so he decided to take the antidote at noon tomorrow, "You are so long-winded, Gray Yuan." ”

“… One last thing," Gray Hara said angrily, "put your glasses back on." ”

"Huh?" Conan was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "I have to pretend to be Kaedehara now..."

"There's no need here," Gray Yuan threatened, "and if you don't put it back on, I'll add laxatives to your antidote." ”

With that, Gray Yuan Wai walked towards the basement and continued to work.

Conan watched Ashbara leave speechlessly, and then looked at Dr. Asasa who had been watching from the side without speaking, "Doctor, why is this guy so angry today?" ”

"Uh... I guess it's just nervous, after all, I'm going to test the antidote..."Dr. Asa said an explanation that he didn't believe in himself, and then rubbed his head a little embarrassed, "And Conan, I think it's better for you to put your glasses back on..."

"Huh?"

Conan looked at Dr. Asa in shock.

"Because I'm used to it, haha." Dr. Asa said, "If I didn't wear glasses, I would always think it was Sora..."

Conan looked at Dr. Asa speechlessly, then pulled his glasses out of his pocket and put them back on. He's actually used to wearing glasses, and he felt a little weird when he didn't wear them just now...

It's just, how do you feel that the doctor doesn't have his own place in the family?

Conan was depressed, but thinking that he would be able to ask Xiaolan out tomorrow, he was nervous and looking forward to it.

The next day was fast approaching.
