Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 346 Brothers and sisters?

Dongdong: The volume title actually hints at the progress of the main storyline. The volume division is the same as the segmentation of the main storyline of the original work - the first volume is before the main storyline begins, the second volume is the Gin chapter, and the third volume is the Shirley chapter... Ai's symbolic flower should be "purple gentian", and she is holding this in the 2024 calendar picture.

When Bai Shi saw that she lied about her age, he immediately felt dissatisfied because he was being watched, so...

"Oh, you are over sixty now, right? Your hairstyle is very trendy and you are in good health... You can still climb high and walk low in the Kudo family." Shiraishi's mouth twitched - the resolution of the pinhole surveillance camera was indeed unable to see the wrinkles clearly, and after she discovered the surveillance camera, she also deliberately avoided the front.

"I haven't just researched one kind of medicine. After you help me recover, I can give you a formula for health preservation and wrinkle removal. I guarantee you'll make a fortune!" Shirley was determined to fake her age.

but……

"Well, I think the best way to maintain yourself is to keep a young mindset... Grandma, you are very fashionable." Bai Shi said, looking in the direction of the bedroom.

Shirley: !!!
Shirley followed his gaze and found that a piece of pink bra strap was faintly exposed in the pile of clothes wrapped in her white coat...

"Pervert!" Shirley complained decisively.

"Huh? How about I buy you a leopard print model from Zhaohe in the future?" Shiraishi rolled his eyes.

Shirley: ...

Shirley also knew that she had been exposed, so she kept a straight face and said nothing.

After Shiraishi made a few jokes, he saw that she was nervous, so he changed the subject and said, "You were silenced, wasn't it because the matter of the Kudo family was discovered?"

"You can rest assured that Gin didn't find out about the cell phone." Shirley said specifically.

Ever since "Rye Whiskey" was proven to be an undercover agent, Miyano Akemi was bound to be silenced. And ever since Miyano Akemi was silenced, the elimination of "Sherry" was already on the agenda, and this had nothing to do with the cell phone incident.

"Do you know anything about the plan of the 'Crow Legion'? It would be best if we could capture Gin or Vermouth... other official members would also be fine." Shiraishi said in a loud voice.

Shirley: ...

"No!" Shirley said sullenly.

Also Gin and Vermouth?
How could I possibly know the whereabouts of those people?

Even if I knew, I wouldn't dare to say it out loud...

But Shirley was probably worried that Shiraishi would ignore her or report it directly, so she emphasized: "I can... make you harder!"

Shiraishi:? ? ?
Seeing Bai Shi's shocked expression, Shirley suddenly realized something. She looked at him with a perverted look and said, "There must be a lot of people who want to kill you, right? Especially... if you want to track down the Crow Legion."

"Many people want to kill me, but they can't do it." Bai Shi said confidently.

"Indeed, you should be difficult to kill... at least difficult to kill by assassination, but it is not absolutely impossible." Shirley seemed to be talking nonsense.

"You... can make bulletproof vests?" Shiraishi looked at Shirley strangely - is this not a good match for her major? Shouldn't Huihara Ai be proficient in chemistry?

"No, bulletproof vests and the like can't be worn all the time, and they're not very effective in preventing assassinations. But... you've come into contact with official members of the Crow Legion before, do you think... they're particularly tough?" Shirley asked back.

"Is there?" The first thing Bai Shi thought of was the tequila that was directly blown to pieces.

There is no resistance at all...

But then Bai Shi also thought of Vermouth who had been hit hard by him but only had a broken forearm, so he nodded and said, "Really..."

Bai Shi, who somewhat understood what Shirley meant, looked at her with a little surprise and said, "Could it be that... this is something that a potion can do?"

Shirley nodded and said, "Yes, the official members of the battle sequence have all been injected with a genetic modification solution that can make muscle fibers form a stronger buffer structure. Furthermore, there is even a genetic solution that can increase bone density."

Hearing Shirley's affirmative answer, Shiraishi couldn't help but think of the typical times in the original work when Xiaolan won first and then lost - this is the reason why Xiaolan's fighting ability has been criticized. She has fought against official members of the Black Organization, and even had the advantage at the beginning several times, but... she was always overturned.

The most unscientific thing is that even if Xiaolan directly kicked his jaw or side neck... which should have been a direct KO hit, the opponent was still able to turn the tables as if nothing had happened!
This cannot be explained by fighting skills or even physical fitness - if he was really that strong, he should have been able to kill Xiaolan in seconds from the very beginning.

Now it seems that Bai Shi has understood the reason - so these people have specially added defenses?

"The genetic fluid...is there no danger?" Bai Shi was more worried than expectant.

"This technology is much more mature than APTX4869... Well, it's dangerous. If you don't have strong physical fitness, you might get paralyzed at best, or die suddenly at worst. That's why only official members, and official members of the combat sequence, will be injected. And most of them can only get the first type. Only one-tenth of the official members can get the injection that further strengthens their bones." Shirley said as a matter of course.

However, when Bai Shi heard this, his face darkened and he said, "Can this be considered much more mature? The mortality rate is much lower than APTX4869, right?"

But if you really want to use it yourself, then it’s not a question of “low mortality rate”, 1% is high enough!

Shirley shook her head and said, "Of course I know what mature technology is... The reason why this technology is mature is that its effect is controllable and stably reflected in 'if the physical fitness meets the standard, the drug will definitely succeed', and the stronger the physical fitness, the better the effect will be. It is not like APTX4869, which has unknown specificity and unknown success or failure conditions."

After hearing this, Bai Shi calmed down - since it was not a matter of luck but of physical fitness, he was obviously very suitable for using this medicine.

If "the stronger the physical fitness, the better the effect", Shiraishi even has some expectations.

After being injected with drugs, the official members of the "Black Organization" can withstand normal KO techniques. What about Shiraishi after being injected?
If the effect of the Red Magic Armor is added, can it reach the level of resisting large-caliber bullets?
However, Bai Shi still had some doubts: "Gene fluid... that... genes..."

"It doesn't affect fertility or heredity, it only changes somatic cells." Shirley said directly.

Now Bai Shi only had one last question: "Laboratory... Is 300,000 a month enough?"

Seeing Shirley’s surprised expression as if thinking “There’s no way someone can only come up with 300,000 a month”... Shiraishi knew that it was definitely not enough!

but……

After paying for rent, car loan, living expenses... this is all Shiraishi can come up with in a month!

As the "Superintendent of Police" and the "Director of a large police station in the Metropolitan Police Department", Shiraishi can only get about 10 million a year, or 800,000 a month, including salary, subsidies and benefits.

Although Shiraishi's lunch is charged to the police station account, although Shiraishi and Ayako take turns paying the bill, although considering Shiraishi's appetite, going AA is already considered bullying, and although Ayako always avoids expensive places when Shiraishi pays the bill...but even so, Shiraishi's biggest expense is still food.

"If I assign myself a surveillance mission every night and reimburse the dinner money, I should be able to save some money..." Bai Shi was thinking of the old method - when they were in a pair, Bai Shi would always take the initiative to follow up, because the meal money would be reimbursed when following up.

and……

Is it large and easy to be discovered?

Just kidding, Shiraishi's "following the surveillance" means finding an office of a violent organization to keep an eye on him, this kind of daily surveillance - if I see it, I see it, and you dare not let me see it?

But now Baishi is saving money for meals...

"Well, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Bai Shi knew from Shirley's expression that she had never fought such a stingy "battle" before.

Not to mention the lab equipment and raw materials, Bai Shi's money is not even enough for the rent...

"Isn't your girlfriend very rich? Why don't you go and ask for some?" Shirley suggested solemnly.

Shiraishi:……

Another woman encouraged me to ask my girlfriend for money to spend...

Shiraishi always felt something was weird.

"Then there's nothing I can do... We have to confirm our relationship first, otherwise I won't be able to talk to Ayako." Shiraishi said helplessly.

Without waiting for Shirley to say anything, Shiraishi said, "Besides... if Ayako pays, you have to come up with something that can make a profit, right?"

Neither the gene concentrate nor APTX4869 can obviously be commercialized.

"Then... perfume?" Shirley frowned - obviously she was not interested in money.

"Okay..." Bai Shi nodded.

But Shirley didn't dare to nod at this time: "What does this have to do with our relationship?"

"I can't tell Ayako that you are a bad woman who ran away from a mysterious organization, right? And you look completely unreliable now... If you want Ayako to help you build a laboratory, you must have a close relationship with me." Shiraishi said as a matter of course.

Shirley tolerated the term "bad woman who escaped from a mysterious organization" for the time being.

After hearing this, Shirley understood what Shiraishi meant - building a research lab for a little brat? Even if Ayako was crazy, she wouldn't want to make money from this, even if Shirley showed herself to be a "genius". After all, she couldn't even be a "genius girl" now, she could only be a "genius loli"...

The only possible reason is "My boyfriend's last relative is very talented in this area, so I built a laboratory for her to play with"!
"Well, when tampering with DNA, we have to be careful. If they are too similar, it will be a disaster if they are directly made into father and daughter. We have to control it to the level of siblings or other relatives." Shirley said to herself.

Shiraishi:? ? ?
"Ah? DNA? Can you...change your own DNA?" Bai Shi asked in surprise.

Originally, Bai Shi just wanted her to cooperate, and then he would do some fake procedures at the Beihua Office... Who knows...

From what Shirley said, is this for real?
Shirley rolled her eyes when she heard that and said, "Of course not... If it were possible, I might be able to grow it back by now!"

Well, Shirley estimated that if she had the "Shiraishi gene", it would not be impossible for her to grow to 1.6 meters by the age of seven...

Of course, Bai Shi knows that this is not a genetic problem, but the result of acquired efforts.

Without Shiraishi asking, Shirley explained, "But using your genes, we can edit some blood cells that can test your kinship. It's still possible... Then when taking samples for testing, we can implant a hose in your arm and fake it a little bit."

Shiraishi:……

After hearing what Shirley said, Shiraishi decided to "get serious about it". If he faked the information in the Rice Flower Office, there was a possibility of being discovered. However, if he did as Shirley said, he wouldn't have to fake the information in the Rice Flower Office at all!

"Does your fraud... require a laboratory?" Bai Shi asked worriedly - it would be better if it doesn't, otherwise the problem would be closed.

"It's very simple, no need, just use some everyday ingredients." Shirley said calmly.

Shiraishi also doesn’t know how it can be so “ordinary”.

"How long will it take?" Bai Shi asked.

"One day. If we do it overnight, it will be tomorrow afternoon." Shirley said confidently.

"Then tomorrow afternoon... I'll make an appointment with Ayako to go to the biological company under the Suzuki Group for an identification... Is that okay with you?" Shiraishi confirmed worriedly.

"Oh, it doesn't matter which organization you go to." Shirley was very confident.

"Well, then let's just treat them as brother and sister... um... half-siblings!" Bai Shi looked at her hair color and always felt that it was a bit unreasonable for them to have the same father and mother.

Moreover, the age gap is too big. If it is the same mother, the birth interval is too long.

Shirley had no objection to this, but...

Seeing the way Shiraishi looked at her hair, Shirley wanted to say - Is the focus on the hair? Look in the mirror, dare you say that the biggest genetic difference between us is reflected in our hair?

If you have the same father but different mothers, then your mother must be a giantess - Shirley complained in her heart.

"By the way, if we do a kinship test first and then go through the naturalization procedures, your surname will also have to be Shiraishi... Was your original surname Hirota?" Shiraishi had seen the information of the female robber before, and her name was "Hirota Masami".

"No, it's Miyano...Miyano Shiho." Shirley hesitated for a moment and did not hide it.

"Sure enough, even the information in the police files is fake." Shiraishi sighed when he saw that the last names were different.

Then Bai Shi looked at her again, and after noticing the sadness she showed when she mentioned her sister, he said, "Don't always have a sad face... Well, why not just call you Bai Shi happy!"

Shirley: ...

Seeing the other person rolling his eyes, Bai Shi guessed that she was not very satisfied, so he corrected her: "What about Bai Shi Xier?"

Shirley declined Shiraishi's help in naming herself and independently chose the word "Ai".

……

……

"Eh? Xiao Hei, your sister?" After Ayako received a call from Shiraishi at noon, she was also shocked when she heard him talk about this matter.

"Well, don't ask me how I found him...Is there a place in the Suzuki Group that can do kinship testing? I want to confirm that too." Shiraishi said vaguely.

Shiraishi didn't feel any psychological burden about this "deception" - after all, it was essentially for Ayako's safety that he didn't tell her the truth.

same……

Shiraishi couldn't be considered to have lied about the things in the laboratory, because Shiraishi had also reminded Ai - anyway, you won't be able to make the antidote for APTX4869 in a short time, and you don't even understand the underlying logic of the drug itself. It's better to develop something commercially available for Ayako first, and don't let Ayako lose face in the Suzuki Group!

Ayako also guessed at this time that it might be related to the mysterious message that Shiraishi received last night. Hearing him say that, she just listened and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, when?" Ayako asked.

"I'll pick her up after get off work..." Shiraishi had just received a call from Ai and knew that she was ready.

After get off work, Shiraishi went back to the apartment to pick up Xiao Ai...

Because Shiraishi was no longer avoiding people, many neighbors were curious when they saw him leading a little girl. An old lady in the elevator asked in surprise, "Director Mika, this little girl is so cute... Is she your daughter?"

For the people of Beika Town, "Chief Beika" has become a proper noun, used specifically to refer to Shiraishi.

"No, it's my...sister." Bai Shi said a little awkwardly.

"Huh? So you have a younger sister?" the aunt asked in surprise. Originally, "daughter" was just a teasing term, but when she heard Bai Shi say that she was a younger sister, she was surprised.

After all, many Mihua people and Shenshi people know that "Director Mihua" is an orphan.

After dealing with the neighbor lady, Shiraishi came out of the elevator and saw Haneda Hideyoshi again at the door of the apartment...

It was only after a long time that Shiraishi found out that he also lived in Yingmihua Apartment after all, Shiraishi rarely returned to the apartment except to sleep, and Haneda Hideyoshi rarely left the apartment except to play chess. The two of them did not use the same elevator, so they could be said to be "neighbors who never met."

"Huh? Officer Shiraishi, are you helping lost children?" Hideyoshi Haneda glanced at Ai.

Xiao Ai frowned at this time and decisively hid behind Bai Shi's calf...

Xiao Ai didn't know why, but this person made her feel a little uncomfortable, but... it wasn't to the extent of "triggering the crow radar".

This feels like...

This person seems to have some subtle similarities with someone I dislike?
"No, it's my sister. I have something else to do. Let's talk next time." Bai Shi also left in a hurry.

After all, Haneda Hideyoshi was too smart, and Shiraishi was afraid that he would see through something.

But in fact, Shiraishi was overthinking. Although Haneda was curious for a moment, the girl looked a little mature, but he didn't think much about it. After entering the elevator, his mind was full of chess records again...

……

After arriving at the testing institution where they had an appointment with Ayako, Shiraishi and Ai were taken directly to a VIP room to wait for sampling without disturbing anyone else.

At this time...

Shiraishi and Ai saw the sampling personnel coming over with an oral swab.

Shiraishi:……

Xiao Ai:......

"Let's use blood! Blood is more accurate." Bai Shi said seriously.

"Eh? This is actually the same...Okay, then let's take a blood sample." The tester didn't argue with Shiraishi.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness you're here..." Xiao Ai said in a low voice.

Bai Shi was a little surprised. When did this "poisonous-tongued fake loli" start speaking so nicely?
"I really can't blurt out such unscientific words." Xiao Ai said in admiration.

Shiraishi:……

The fake blood vessels implanted in Ai took effect, and after Shiraishi tried his best to relax his skin, he allowed the doctor to successfully draw blood.

After taking the sample, Ayako simply comforted Shiraishi and told him not to be nervous - in Ayako's view, this little girl was Shiraishi's sudden and only relative, so of course he would be nervous.

Then Ayako comforted Xiao Ai...

Although she didn't know what happened, Ayako knew that something must have happened, so this "sister" suddenly came to her house, and Shiraishi also said that she should be her last relative...

Dongdong: There is actually an actual example of implanting a tube to falsify DNA identification - a Canadian doctor avoided sexual assault charges in this way (he was later reported by his ex-wife).
