Conan's winery play house

Chapter 91 The lab rat becomes smaller

The taxi stopped on the side of the road, still some distance from the organization's research institute.

"The front is closed, kid, you can get off here." The driver said.

This is already a suburb.

He doesn't know the way ahead, so he might as well stop here.

And the entire front area is circled.

Make it clear that no one is allowed in.

"Okay, thank you." Aito nodded, handed over the cash, opened the door and got out of the car.

Because it is located in the suburbs and the surrounding land has been purchased, there is not even a trace of other people here.

Most of the research institutes are located in the city, and some of them are more remote, like now, in the suburbs.

But most training bases are deep in forests or caves at the bottom of mountains.

Of course, there are also training bases in the city, located underground in some buildings.

Just like the two-story space dug out under the house where Miyamoto Aito lives.

The training base in the city was also dug out in this way.

He carried Dafu and walked towards the research institute.

The sign that says Karasuma Pharmaceutical is particularly conspicuous.

There is no so-called security, and it even looks a bit dead and desolate.

Miyamoto Aito stepped forward and pressed his palm on the screen beside the door.

The seamless steel door slowly opened.

He continued walking inside.

A girl with short brown hair in a white coat stood in the laboratory, watching the white mice in the cage die one after another.

Eyes dim.

She did not develop this drug to take away lives. The original intention of her parents' silver bullet project was to save lives.

But... the mice used in the experiment died again and again.

It is said that not even the experimental subjects who took the drug survived.

Even members of the organization began to use aptx4869 as poison.

She looked at the data displayed on the report, frowned, and analyzed the reasons calmly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white mouse that was supposed to be dead and opened its eyes again.

The body size became much smaller than that of other dead mice.

"This is..." Miyano Shiho frowned as he looked at the only white mouse that had shrunk.

Getting smaller...

She immediately turned around and used her computer to research the names of people who had taken Drug A.

The experimental subjects of the organization have no names, only numbers, followed by the word "dead".

The body has also been disposed of by tissues, and there is no chance of survival.

She paused for a moment while flipping through the list.

Among the pile of numbers, one name stands out.

Kudo Shinichi.

His name is also followed by the word dead.

The handler is——Gin.

The body was not recovered.

Is the other party really dead?

The mice that take the medicine may become smaller, so...

Are there people who have taken drugs and become smaller?

She looked at the smaller white mouse, her expression gradually deepening.

"Ave Clear applies to enter the laboratory."

The emotionless female robotic voice warned.

"Let him in." Miyano Shiho took a deep breath, closed the list, and put on a cold and emotionless expression.

"Good afternoon, Shiho-san." After the door opened, the white-haired boy stood at the door holding a stuffed bear and smiled at her.

"What are you doing here?" the girl with short brown hair asked.

Non-researcher members rarely come to the institute.

"Because I miss Shiho-san, Juna-san, and Akemi-san." The white-haired boy smiled softly and said without hesitation.

You have to communicate your feelings well with everyone.

"Let's all have dinner together." He suggested happily.

Anyway, Brother Tou has to work at Café Poirot, so we can’t have dinner with him. There’s no point in having dinner alone.

Although Dafu and Cookie will accompany him, they can't eat.

Aito still wants his family to eat food cooked by him.

"Go to sister Mingmei's house, I'll cook for everyone." He said with anticipation.

"Sister's side..." Miyano Shiho looked hesitant.

My sister seems to be very busy recently.

Besides working at the bank, I seem to be busy with other things.

But when asked, he refused to say anything.

"I'll ask her if she's free." Miyano Shiho said, taking out a red flip phone and calling Miyano Akemi.

After waiting for a long time, the call was connected.

"What's wrong? Shiho." The woman's voice on the other end of the phone sounded gentle but a little tired.

"Aito said he wanted to have dinner with us tonight and come to your house." Miyano Shiho opened his mouth and said.

What is your sister doing recently?

Why do you feel so tired?

"Aito... I understand, Shiho-san, please bring him and Juna together tonight." Miyano Akemi smiled.

"I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first," she said.

"Okay." Miyano Shiho hesitated, and finally said only one word.

"Let's go together." She took off her white coat, revealing the regular clothes she was wearing underneath, and said to Miyamoto Aito.

"Okay." The white-haired boy smiled brightly.

The bunch of mice inside were all dead.

The physical data of one of them are somewhat different from those of the other mice.

It's a bit similar to the day Shinichi's brother became younger.

And so is the body shape.

That white mouse is smaller than the other white mice.

Organizations will not send mice of different sizes to researchers.

The physical data of each batch of mice are similar.

There is no such thing as a small one.

Could it be...

Are you the same as Brother Shinichi?

Sister Shiho is in charge of drug research, which means that the reason Shinichi's brother became smaller may be because Papa gave him some medicine, and this medicine may have been invented by Sister Shiho.

That's why the mice used in the experiment had the same situation.

Because Sister Shiho is using them for drug experiments.

But Papa's behavior at that time didn't look like he knew that the medicine could make people smaller, but rather he was sure that Shinichi's brother would die.

Have you never encountered such a situation during testing before?

But Shiho-san should have discovered it by now.

The smaller white mouse died after being injected with another drug.

It should have been done by Shiho-san.

It's obviously a successful case, so why... did Shiho-san want to kill it?

Is it to hide this case from the uncle and Papa?

There are also secrets between family members.

It's better not to delve into these secrets.

But the base is full of that uncle's eyes and ears.

Everyone's every move is clearly being monitored.

Papa and that uncle will definitely know.

Let's think about what groceries to buy tonight.

Akemi-san, Shiho-san and Juna's favorite dishes...

Aito walked beside Miyano Shiho.

"What are you thinking about?" Miyano Shiho asked, looking at the smiling and silent young man.

"I was thinking about what vegetables to buy for a while and what to cook for everyone." The white-haired boy smiled brightly and answered loudly.

"...No need to bother." Miyano Shiho was silent for a moment, and said with a cold attitude as if he didn't care at all.

"It's not troublesome at all for me. If everyone enjoys their meal, I'll be very happy." Aito shook his head, his blue eyes under his sunglasses were extremely gentle, and his voice was full of sincerity.

He really thinks so.

As long as the family is happy, that's fine.

PS: Do you still remember when the boss asked Gin to monitor Shirley at the amusement park?

Saw the whole thing.

And! We are just a little short of reaching circle 2! The amount of interaction is still less than half of QAQ, and we will probably be able to reach circle 2 in a while!

I wrote this book really slowly and carefully... I was lost in thought.
