Chapter 345 I might live another 5 years
Chapter 345 I May Live Another Years
Seeing "Little Shirley" wake up immediately, Bai Shi secretly said: As expected...
Just now, Bai Shi noticed that her breathing rate changed - she had obviously woken up and was pretending to faint!
"You..." Seeing the other party's alert look, Bai Shi pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go take a hot bath first. I'll find a way to buy some clothes for the children..."
Bai Shi found that the other person was shivering with cold, and his clothes were so tight that he didn't care about his butt. He probably didn't have the heart to talk to him, so he decided to go buy some clothes first.
After all, there was an adult in this body, and she would probably find it difficult to take a shower without being wary if she were alone in the apartment.
However, after Bai Shi opened the door and went out, he immediately turned around and added: "You are so smart, you should understand that sneaking away at this time will not do you any good." After saying that, he closed the door.
……
Bai Shi was also having a headache at this time - where to buy clothes for the children?
It's already past ten in the evening. There's no reason for a children's clothing store to be open so late, and...
How should I explain this to others?
If it were an ordinary person, they would just go and buy it quietly, as it wouldn't be easy to meet someone they knew. But who wouldn't recognize Shiraishi in Beika-cho?
And Shiraishi thought carefully at this time, how should he deal with this "Sulli" next?
Hand it over to the state?
Definitely not!
Among the politicians, not to mention how many are allies of the "Black Organization", and even if they are not allies of the "Black Organization", there is no guarantee that they will not have some ideas about the "Shrinking Medicine".
Guys like Atsumori Liuzo used to thrive among top politicians, which shows the overall moral level of these people...
If you go directly to the Prime Minister, the chances of being credible or not are 100-. However, if you report from Shiraishi's position along the way, the chances of encountering black-hearted politicians are close to %.
Or can it be handed over to the Suzuki family?
Shiraishi's thoughts moved slightly, but he finally rejected the idea - the Suzuki family would definitely be interested in the technology that "Sherry" possessed, but...
On the one hand, the Suzuki family and the Suzuki Group are deeply bound together, and the only person Shiraishi can trust is Ayako.
Sonoko can be counted as one, but I trust Sonoko simply because she is simple-minded. But she doesn't have much say in the group, so she can be ignored.
As a large conglomerate, the Suzuki Group's personnel and organization are no less complex than the administrative structure of the East Island Country, and Shiraishi has the same concerns as before.
On the other hand, if we only use Ayako, it will inevitably be dangerous - the pressure that the Suzuki Group can withstand does not mean that Ayako can withstand it alone!
As for sending it to the Doctor like in the original work?
This is nonsense...
Although nothing seemed to happen in the original work, not to mention that there were several thrilling scenes, Shiraishi didn't even finish reading it and was not sure what would happen next. Moreover, how could Shiraishi hand over such an important person to someone else?
……
After some thought in the elevator, Bai Shi called the dean after sitting in the car - fortunately, Dean Bai Shi is old and sleeps less at night.
"Grandma, it's me, Xiao Hei..."
"Oh, Ayako just left." The old lady thought that Shiraishi had something to do and couldn't contact Ayako.
"No, grandma, I have something to do... Actually, it's like this. I want to adopt a girl whose identity cannot be revealed. Can I go through the formalities at the orphanage? I'll go over and get some clothes." Bai Shi explained.
"It can't be exposed...Okay, grandma knows." The old lady knew nothing, but still agreed.
This matter is not that easy. Although the household registration system of East Island is not widely used and is only used to prove blood relationship, and it is a registration system, the orphanage cannot register itself. However, as long as there is an excuse of "coming from Bai Shi Orphanage", Bai Shi can go through the procedures at the Beihua Office.
As for the identity of "Sulli"...
Bai Shi has already thought about it!
After hanging up the phone with the director's grandmother, Shiraishi thought about the situation again and dialed the number that Inspector Kazami had provided to the public security department...
……
That night, Bai Shi returned to the Bai Shi Orphanage and took away some clothes for the little girl.
Shiraishi had originally planned to wear the old clothes anyway, but it just so happened that the orphanage had new clothes - Ayako never came empty-handed...
Grandma Shiraishi didn't ask any more about the identity of the little girl that Shiraishi mentioned. Firstly, it was because she trusted Shiraishi Kuro and knew that if he didn't say anything, there must be a reason; secondly, the nature of Shiraishi Kuro's job was enough for Grandma Shiraishi to imagine!
In Shiraishi's grandmother's mind, she probably regarded that child as the descendant of Shiraishi's fallen comrade or informant.
After getting the clothes, Shiraishi returned to the apartment. The round trip took more than 40 minutes. When he came back, Shiraishi found that "Sulli" had already used pins to make her clothes smaller. She sat on the sofa, trying to remain calm.
"Bring back some clothes so you can change into them." Bai Shi said, throwing the clothes into the bedroom and motioning for her to go in and change.
After hesitating for a moment, Shirley went into the house without saying a word, closed the door, and changed her clothes.
After coming out, Shirley seemed calmer, probably because her clothes fit her well.
"Shirley, right? I think you must have had the idea of turning against the 'Raven Legion' before, otherwise you wouldn't have left me your phone. It's just... it looks like your plan didn't go well." Bai Shi asked directly.
However, the meaning of Bai Shi's words undoubtedly confirmed that she "had made meritorious contributions", which gave her peace of mind.
Shirley gradually calmed down and said, "Yes, I went to Kudo's house before and found that Kudo Shinichi's childhood clothes were missing... Since you knew my identity so quickly, it seems that my guess was right." When Shiraishi heard her mention this, he didn't care about the Crow Army for a moment, but asked in surprise: "So... becoming smaller is really within your expectations?"
Shirley was silent for a moment and then said, "Yes, this is also the original purpose of developing this drug. However, because it has failed countless times before and the effect is too unstable, it has become a 'good medicine' for destroying corpses and covering up traces."
As far as Shiraishi can remember, in the original work, Ai never actually stated the purpose of researching this medicine.
But now I think about it, it’s probably because the Doctor and Conan are unable to undertake such a “big conspiracy”, so they kept their mouths shut and only hinted occasionally.
Now facing Bai Shi...
Well, Bai Shi could hear it from her tone—it was not because of trust, but because of... fear.
In Shirley's mind, Shiraishi's gentlemanly behavior just now still did not completely remove the hat of "devil police officer", so Shirley did not hide anything - anyway, she was not worried that this "devil police officer" would be in danger, you know it once you know it!
"Most of the mice that took APTX4869 turned into blood, but... there were a very small number of individuals that shrank in size... No, to be precise, they transformed back into the state of young mice." Shirley said honestly.
Bai Shi was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he should speak, but finally asked, "Um...what about the law of conservation of mass?"
Shirley: ...
Shirley was silent for a while, and then said: "I am not the original researcher of APTX4869, which has the power to break the laws of nature. I just further improved the effect of the drug."
As expected - Bai Shi said in his heart.
This kind of thing is simply not something that pure science can do.
And Shirley was not the original developer of APTX4869, so she didn't fully understand the underlying logic of the drug. But... as a scientist, Shirley at least understood that this thing was unscientific!
Seeing that Shirley admitted it like that, Bai Shi had nothing to say. After all, he had seen unscientific things before.
"Are there many people in the Crow Corps who can perfect this medicine?" Bai Shi asked a key point.
Shirley frowned at this time, and finally said unsurely: "Probably not. Apart from me... others probably don't even know the basics. The core members of the original potion development were my late parents, but they did want to find someone to replace me in the past two years."
"Hmm? Since you are so important..." Bai Shi asked tentatively.
Shirley also knew what Shiraishi wanted to hear, so she said directly: "Because... I found out before that there seemed to be another hidden story behind my parents' death, and... not long ago, they killed me... cough, my last relative! Gin probably already knew that once I learned about this, I would definitely betray the organization, but he took the initiative to do it."
Shiraishi really didn't know much about her parents. He only had a vague impression of them when she mentioned them. Apparently, this was also something that "Ai" did not reveal at the beginning in the original work.
"Your last relative is..."
"She was the one who robbed the Mika Bank not long ago and ended up 'committing suicide'... Those people deceived her and made her think that as long as she did this last thing, the organization would let us go, but... how is it possible..." Shirley tried her best to remain calm, but when she mentioned this, there was still bitterness in her eyes.
If she had known this earlier, she would definitely stop her sister - her sister was just a peripheral member, but Shirley was the core of an important research project!
Of course, even if she reminded him earlier, it would be useless...
Ever since "Rye Whiskey" was confirmed to be an FBI undercover agent, Akemi Miyano, the "lover of rye whiskey", has been targeted by Gin, the wine-smashing maniac.
If it weren't for the importance of "Shirley", both of them would have been killed when "Rye Whiskey" was first exposed two years ago.
but……
Even though "Shirley" is very important, it only allows them to live longer to "hand over work". In the past two years, the Crow Corps has been preparing for the "transfer of research projects".
Miyano Akemi suddenly couldn't hold back and was determined to leave the organization with her sister. This was indeed a little beyond the expectations of the "Crow Legion", but in fact it was not too unexpected, it just brought the silencing forward a little.
When Shiraishi heard her say this, he also remembered what Conan mentioned before - Miyano Akemi's death was directly suppressed by "the big hand from the top". For the sake of caution, Shiraishi did not directly ask whether it was done by the red side or the black side...
However, Shiraishi was certain that both the Black and Red sides had enough power in the East Island nation's high-level officials to do this, so Gin was fearless and shot the high-profile robber in the street, and Conan's testimony did not appear in the police file at all, and the case was closed directly as "suicide out of fear of crime."
"So...what are you going to do with me next?" Shirley asked Shiraishi directly.
She had previously emphasized her sister’s “forced suicide,” which was undoubtedly a reminder to Shiraishi that “handing her over” was definitely not a good idea.
If possible, Shirley didn't want to be so passive, but in front of Shiraishi, she really had no bargaining chips - the only factor that made her feel at ease was the existence of "Conan".
Since Shiraishi knew about his affairs and he was still staying at the pseudonymous detective's house, it was obvious that Shiraishi did not report Kudo Shinichi's affairs!
Bai Shi did not answer directly at this time, but asked: "What are you going to do next?"
"I... am just a researcher. Let me make it clear first... if you want to do anything to the Crow Legion, I will be of no help at all... if you report my affairs, I will have to take a gamble... if I am silenced, I guess I will not be able to escape, and you should not ask about this matter again. If I am not silenced, and someone wants to use my research, of course I can only try my best." Shirley said, retreating to advance.
"I haven't said whether to report it. Please tell me about other possibilities." Bai Shi spread his hands.
Of course Bai Shi could also hear it, and she was also reminding herself - if her affairs were reported, not only would she be in danger, but Bai Shi himself might also be in danger!
Shirley just shook her head and said, "No matter what, I just want to make an antidote for APTX4869 and return to my original appearance."
"Hmm? The original appearance? If you are so afraid of that organization, then your current appearance is the safest, right? Maybe you can live longer..." Bai Shi asked.
Shirley looked at Bai Shi speechlessly and said, "I said, I don't understand APTX4869 yet. I can't just believe that this thing has no side effects. Some of the mice that became smaller before suddenly exploded into pieces afterwards. Maybe I will be like that one day."
Come to think of it, Shirley would not take it for granted that the effect of this drug would be sustained and achieve "rejuvenation" steadily...
At this time, Shirley paused, and then said: "Of course, if this really makes me fifty years younger, it would not be bad. After all, I haven't been young for a long time." She still pretended to be old as she spoke.
Shiraishi:? ? ?
What do you mean?
Why do I remember that in the original work, you told Conan that you were about the same age as him?
I was wondering why you keep calling her “relative” and not “sister”. Are you pretending to be an old lady in front of me?
Bullying me because the monitoring resolution is not enough?
Even if I know you are young, what can I do to you?
