I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 328: Miyano Shiho's Achievements (Part 2)
At the Hime Law Firm, Midori Kuriyama was sitting at the front desk sorting documents.

Hearing the crisp sound of high heels coming closer, she looked up and found that Kisaki Eri was walking into the office with brisk steps.

"Good morning, teacher!" Kuriyama Midori quickly stood up and greeted him.

When she saw Lawyer Fei today, she looked radiant, with an unconcealable smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and even her walking posture was much lighter than before.

"Good morning, Xiaolu." Kisaragi nodded with a smile, and her voice was a little softer than usual: "Please make you a cup of coffee."

With that, she went into the office.

Midori Kuriyama skillfully brewed a cup of black coffee and gently knocked on the office door.

"Please come in." The joyful voice of Hibiki Eri came from inside.

"Teacher, your coffee." Kuriyama Midori put the coffee on the desk and asked curiously, "Teacher, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen to you?"

Hibiki Eri paused as she was sorting documents. When she looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "How did you know that good things happened to me?"

Kuriyama Midori smiled and said, "I have worked under the teacher for so long, of course I can see it!" She pointed to her eyes, "The teacher looks radiant today!!"

"Is it that obvious?" Hibiki subconsciously picked up the makeup mirror on the table and looked at her face carefully. The person in the mirror looked much better than before, and her eyes were brighter and more energetic than before.

"I drank a lot of wine with Yukiko last night," Hibiki Eri put down the mirror and said in a light tone, "I don't know what we talked about, but we talked all night and slept until dawn without waking up in the middle of the night."

She took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time!"

"That's great," Kuriyama Midori said with a smile, "Teachers are usually under too much pressure at work, so they should often have a drink and chat with Ms. Yukiko to relieve the pressure."

Hibiki pushed up her glasses, and a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes behind the lenses: "Let's talk about it later." She quickly changed the subject: "Is there anything else?"

"No more. I have to go get busy now." Kuriyama Midori tactfully took her leave, not forgetting to close the door gently before leaving.

The moment the office door closed, Kisaki Eri relaxed and leaned back in her leather office chair.

She took off her glasses and rubbed her brows, the scene of this morning involuntarily appearing in her mind.

"Where does this guy get so much energy!" Hibiki bit her red lips and whispered, her cheeks getting hot unconsciously. She hurriedly picked up the documents on the table and forced herself to concentrate, but those charming pictures kept intruding into her thoughts like naughty children.

"No, no." Hibiki Eri shook her head vigorously, as if trying to get rid of those unhealthy thoughts.

She took a deep breath, turned on her computer, and began to concentrate on processing the case materials.

However, whenever she was distracted for a moment, those blushing and heart-pounding memories would sneak back, forcing her to force herself to focus on her work again and again.

Afternoon, Miyano Villa, in the laboratory.

Bai Shihui stood in front of the experimental table, opened the cage with his slender fingers, and skillfully took out a small white mouse. The little mouse twisted restlessly in his palm, and he used his other finger to tease its little head with interest.

"Shiho, how is the drug research going? Is there any progress?" While playing with the little mouse, Shiraishi E looked up at Miyano Shiho who was busy in front of the microscope.

After leaving the luxury cruise ship, he handed over the drugs and related data to the other party for research.

Miyano Shiho's fair face was obviously tired, and dark circles were faintly visible under her eyes. But her eyes were unusually bright, flashing with excitement.

After taking a sip of coffee, she said, "Professor Tokiwa is really good," her voice rising slightly with excitement, "I didn't expect that he could transform APTX4869 in this way. Although the side effects are quite severe, the effect is indeed amazing." She put down the test tube in her hand, picked up a stack of information, walked quickly to Shiraishi Hui, and began to explain in a torrent of words: "He used a brand-new molecular recombination technology to activate specific gene sequences." Her speech speed was getting faster and faster, and her fingers were gesturing at the complex molecular structure in the air.

Shiraishi Hui was completely confused, her eyes were blank, and she didn't understand at all.

He was about to interrupt, but Mingmei next to him gently pulled him back. She shook her head slightly, signaling the other party not to interrupt.

It's rare to see Shiho so excited, so let her talk for a while.

Shiraishi Hui sighed helplessly and continued to listen patiently to the other party's explanation.

Miyano Shiho became more and more engaged, talking about everything from gene editing to protein synthesis for more than ten minutes. Shiraishi E could only nod from time to time, pretending that she understood those obscure professional terms.

Finally, Miyano Shiho changed the subject and talked about what Shiraishi E really cared about: "I have slightly improved this medicine and weakened its effect, but at the same time it has also greatly reduced the side effects." There was an obvious sense of accomplishment in her tone.

As she spoke, she reached out and took the little mouse from Bai Shihui's palm.

The little mouse struggled restlessly in her hands, making tiny squeaking sounds.

Shiho Miyano skillfully picked up a syringe and slowly injected the modified APTX4869 into the mouse.

After the injection, she put the mouse back into the cage and closed the door.

The laboratory fell silent for a moment, and the three people's eyes were focused on the little mouse in the cage.

A few minutes later, the little mouse began to show obvious changes - its movements became manic and restless, and it quickly circled in the cage. At the same time, its body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it was one third larger than its original size.

"Look, its volume has increased by about 1.3 times." Miyano Shiho pointed at the little mouse running madly on the running wheel, and her voice was filled with the calmness and excitement of a scientist: "According to my calculations after many tests, its strength and endurance have increased by about 50%."

Shiraishi Hui watched the mutant little mouse intently, and saw it running faster and faster on the running wheel, making a "clang clang" sound.

Suddenly, the little mouse's body twitched violently, then it became stiff and motionless, and fell on the running wheel and died.

"The reason why I didn't consider researching in this direction before was because I predicted this situation in advance." Miyano Shiho said calmly: "Although the drug strengthened its muscles and bones, its internal organs failed to strengthen synchronously and could not withstand such a load."

She went on to explain: "Even if they are lucky enough not to die immediately, the side effects will appear after half an hour. They will gradually lose their minds and become a 'zombie' who only knows how to eat."

At this point, Miyano Shiho's eyes lit up again: "However, Professor Tokiwa's research data can provide me with reference!"

Shiraishi looked at the excited expression on Miyano Shiho's face and patted her shoulder gently: "Shiho, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you should also pay attention to rest. Take a shower first to wake up. I have something else to discuss with you later."

Although Miyano Shiho was puzzled, she did not ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Okay."

Thinking that she seemed to have not taken a shower for two days, she said goodbye to the two and left the laboratory.

Shiraishi looked at Mingmei. Before he could say anything, Mingmei smiled and said, "My sister is too tired. She might fall asleep in the bath. Shiraishi-kun, please go and help her."

"I'll go prepare dinner first...you guys can chat slowly and carefully. After you're done, it won't be too late to come out for dinner. I'll leave it for you."

After she finished speaking, she kissed Shiraishi Hui on the face and left very consciously.

Shiraishi Hui originally had something else to say to Mingmei, but now it seems...it won't be too late to talk about it after dinner.
