Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1011 Research Progress
Looking at the Kirishima boss who was speaking, Natsukawa frowned slightly.

Receiving no reply, Mr. Kirishima had no intention of letting the matter drop. Instead, he pressed further, "Mr. Takahashi, so are you on some kind of mission?"

"Do you need my help?"

The Kirishima boss seemed extremely excited, as if he would become a secret agent himself if he helped.

Did I just encounter a kind-hearted citizen?

Xia Chuan felt a slight headache.

He said seriously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kirishima, but the increase in forest hunters and fishermen may be related to climate change or the environment. I am indeed here on vacation because several of my colleagues were killed by yakuza during a previous mission, so my superiors allowed me to rest for a while longer."

"As for helping out, Mr. Kirishima only needs to run the hot spring inn well and pay taxes on time. The rest is up to us."

His voice was strong and clear; even if Amuro Tooru came, he would have to call him a good comrade.

Kirishima appeared somewhat disappointed upon hearing that there were no cases.

The person left, but left Xia Chuan with a headache.

"The villagers have noticed something amiss. It seems the distillery's actions this time are not prudent. I need to find a way to notify Baileys."

Even though his identity has been discovered, he still secretly helps the distillery.
"Karasuma Renya, I hope you won't disappoint me. You absolutely must show up, otherwise all my hard work will have been for nothing."

late at night.

The forest birds were silent, and the shadows of the trees were dim.

The White Horse Research Institute was brightly lit.

In fact, the workload here has been enormous since the day we moved in.

This isn't just about research on Mari Akai; after all, this kind of research is part of a complete and well-established drug research system. For example, the analysis of APTX4869 is also underway.

“Gin, the forest security has been much stronger lately. The people down below have started to report conflicts with the nearby villagers. We can’t keep them out indefinitely. Otherwise, if they choose to call the police one day, it will be a real problem.”

While fiddling with the microscope, Baileys casually relayed Natsukawa's account to Gin.

"Hmm, has a conflict already occurred?"

"It's been several days, hasn't Vodka told you?"

Gin silently turned his head and looked at vodka.

Vodka: "."

"Brother, this shouldn't be a big deal. We'll be here for at most a month or two. Temporary containment is necessary; otherwise, if they discover anything, things will get bad."

Vodka certainly knew there was a problem with doing this, but how could he maintain such tight secrecy if he didn't do it this way?

This is an important task entrusted to me by the boss, because the boss trusts me.

We absolutely cannot allow the research institute to make any mistakes.

Gin thought about it and realized that there was no way to resolve this conflict in the short term. The villagers' ancestors were probably still in the forest, and they would sometimes go into the mountains to hunt. If they were not stopped, the mountain of medical waste might be discovered.

Furthermore, what if there are bad people among the villagers?
For example, police officers infiltrated the villagers to investigate the research institute.

"Then I won't worry about it. Anyway, I've delivered the message."

Baileys waved her hand and wiggled her hips as she left.

Looking at Baileys's pert, round buttocks, Vodka swallowed hard.

Once the boss achieves his goal, the organization shouldn't be so tense anymore. Maybe we can talk to Gin and have him talk to Vermouth about how he thinks Baileys and he are a good match.

A perfect match. "Try to be careful not to make a scene," Gin glanced at Vodka.

"Ok."

"By the way, what's the deal with that group of police officers who came to the hot spring village today?"

He received a notification from an outsider during the day and thought that the White Horse Research Institute had been discovered.

"A murder occurred in the village. The murderer was the wife of a guesthouse owner. The case has now been solved by Kogoro Mouri, and the police have left."

"Hmm?" Gin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Has Kogoro Mouri appeared nearby?"

"Yes, brother, is there a problem?"

“He’s Xia Chuan’s neighbor, and we’ve had some interactions before. I need to find out what happened and why he’s in the hot spring village.”

A storm is brewing, and Gin must be on his guard.

It wouldn't have mattered in the past, but things are different now. Someday in the future, the boss might have to come to the research institute to personally check the research results.

After giving his instructions, Gin went straight to Mary Akai's research lab.

For most of the week, Mary Akai was in a coma, and tube after tube of her blood was drawn, along with skin tissue, hair, and organ tissue.
If Natsukawa were to see Akai Mary again, he might not even recognize her.

She has become extremely thin, relying on glucose to stay alive every day.

Upon seeing Gin arrive, the person in charge, Junelek, quickly walked over.

He was actually Rum's subordinate, the head of APTX4869 research at the European branch, and received all the research data after the drug research was moved to Europe.

This time, he was still the main person in charge, responsible for the physical analysis of Akai Mary.

"What's the situation?"

Although Junelek is Rum's subordinate and also has a codename, his codename is mostly meaningless. His status in the organization is only higher than that of the peripheral members, and he is basically destined to be ordered around by the codename members.

Therefore, Junelek was very polite to Gin, the head of the Japanese branch.

The young man wore a fawning smile, but because he was a researcher and didn't have many opportunities to interact with people, his fawning seemed very artificial.

Gin didn't bother to say anything, he just stared straight at him.

Having been met with a cold shoulder, Junelek gave an awkward laugh and then answered Gin's question.

"The research has made some progress. We discovered a strange biological enzyme in her body, which seems to be the one that affects her cell division. However, this biological enzyme is currently dormant and will lose its activity in less than an hour after being extracted from her body."

"While exploring other possibilities, we are also trying to create an environment in which biological enzymes can survive, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the research."

After listening to so much, Gin didn't understand a single word, and only had one question to ask.

"how much longer?"

Junairik gave a wry smile. "Time is hard to guarantee."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "However, if we can provide new case studies, the research will definitely be faster."

Gin glared fiercely at Junelek.

Damn it, getting Akai Mary was already a very difficult thing. Does the other party mean that I should find another case like Akai Mary?

Those who do research really have no self-awareness. Sherry was like that back then, and Junerick is like that now.

etc.
Gin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Sulli's disappearance was probably due to shrinking, right?
