The world of science is unscientific

"Ai! What's wrong!?"

Yusuke Suzuki hurriedly helped her up, only realizing he had misspoke after hearing the hurried footsteps.

Everyone rushed over to help Ai Haibara up. Professor Agasa's face was almost contorted in pain as he immediately tried to call an ambulance.

"I'm fine..."

Ai Haibara caught a glimpse of Professor Agasa's actions out of the corner of her eye and spoke up to stop him, saying, "You'll be fine after a short rest."

At this point, she could still only vaguely hear the sounds from the outside world, so she had no choice but to turn her gaze to Conan.

Conan finally understood the situation he had faced back then. In his haste, he started making things up, saying that these were some kind of symptoms or some kind of illness, and that he just needed to rest for a while.

When Professor Agasa saw that Conan said so, he hesitated for a moment but then believed him.

But Suzuki Yusuke really couldn't bear it; he wouldn't feel at ease until he got him to the hospital!

Conan then realized that there was someone else beside him who was not easy to fool, and he was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead. What should he do? He really couldn't make up any more stories!

Chapter 143, the beginning of the end.

Conan's interruption actually bought them some time.

Ai Haibara felt as if her entire body had been suddenly pulled out of the deep sea; her breathing became much easier, and she could hear the sounds around her clearly again.

After catching her breath, she struggled to her feet, pushed through the crowd, and ran.

Absolutely, absolutely not, can she turn back into Ai Haibara at this time!

Yusuke Suzuki, who had already put the phone to his ear, saw Ai Haibara's disheveled figure leave and silently pressed the hang-up button.

Ran Mouri wanted to chase after her, but Yusuke Suzuki reached out and pulled her back. "She must have some reason that she can't tell us."

"But..."

Yusuke Suzuki slowly shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll follow her from a distance. If anything happens to her, I'll take her to the hospital."

Conan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his gaze.

After Suzuki Yusuke left, Professor Agasa asked Conan in a low voice, "Is Ai really alright?"

“There shouldn’t be any problems,” Conan reassured her. “I’ve taken that kind of medicine before, and I’m perfectly fine now. Besides, as the drug’s developer, she should have made sure there wouldn’t be any issues before taking it.”

Dr. Agasa thought about it and agreed, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Hey? Where's that older sister?"

The three little ones, carrying various things back, looked around with some confusion.

Conan quickly made up a random excuse and then tried to divert the three's attention, "Have you found all the materials I asked you to prepare?"

"Hmm!" Ayumi proudly pulled out a large seashell. "Look!"

Having seen that everything was in order, Conan decided to start his deduction. This time, he would team up with Professor Agasa again for another act, but since he didn't have his watch with him, he couldn't put Sonoko Suzuki under the influence.

Fortunately, Ai Haibara also brought him the voice changer with a ribbon.

On the other side, Suzuki Yusuke followed far behind Haibara Ai. Seeing that her pace was becoming lighter and lighter and that she had returned to an adult level in all aspects, he finally felt relieved.

I don't know if anyone heard me call out "Ai-chan" just now. If they did, that would be good, as it would give me a direct reason to come clean.

Only after confirming that Ai Haibara had returned to the hotel did Yusuke Suzuki turn around and head back to the beach.

When he returned, Conan was preparing for his deduction.

The three children filled a large plastic basin with sand, while Professor Agasa provided initial guidance for their deduction.

At that moment, a police officer received a call from the forensic doctor: "Has the time of death been determined?"

Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Kengo immediately ran over.

The two immediately began whispering to each other, as if afraid of being overheard.

"Hey, what are you guys doing sneaking around like that?" Shimojou Noboru said impatiently. "Tell us already! I bet you know when that old man Aramaki died, right?"

“Yes, we already know.” Yokomizo Sango turned to face the three of them. “Based on Mr. Aramaki’s time of death, none of your alibis are valid!”

"What did you say?!" Noboru Shimojo pressed on. "When exactly did he die? If you don't explain clearly, we will absolutely not accept this!"

"I think I'll speak for myself. You can still commit a crime even if you're not here, as long as you use this method."

Professor Agasa, with a strong voice and a serious expression, directly interrupted Noboru Shimojo.

"What kind of technique is that... Professor Agasa? What are you doing squatting there like that?"

“I’m preparing to reproduce this technique,” ​​Professor Agasa answered Yokomizo Sango’s question. “You’ll understand as soon as you see it.”

"The sand in this large basin naturally represents a beach."

As he spoke, Professor Agasa picked up the dead starfish, saying, "This starfish represents Mr. Aramaki."

"And this bucket of water represents the entire court of the sea."

After the introductions were finished, Professor Agasa asked the three children to step back, giving Conan some space.

"First, dig a hole in the sand, just big enough for a person to lie down in. Then put Mr. Aramaki, who is drunk and covered in fishing nets, into the hole."

As soon as the demonstration began, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri raised questions.

“Professor Agasa, that won’t work. You’re trying to say that he was restricted by the fishing net, and the murderer then used the entire court to make him drown, right? That doesn’t make sense.”

"Even in Manchuria, the sea level cannot rise by tens of centimeters in a short period of time, so Mr. Aramaki can naturally find a way to leave on his own."

Yusuke Suzuki stepped forward. "This will do the trick."

He pointed to the large seashell in Professor Agasa's hand and continued, "If you put something like this on the victim, he can only wait to drown."

“That makes sense,” Yokomizo thought for a moment. “But if that’s the case, we should be able to find something like that at the scene.”

"It's a boat."

Yusuke Suzuki spoke up to remind him.

On the other side, Professor Agasa placed the seashell on a starfish, poured in a full bucket of water, and the upside-down seashell slowly floated up.

"That explains why Mr. Aramaki still has so many scars, Mr. Shimojo, am I right?"

Professor Agasa stood up, shielding Conan behind him. All he had to do was open his mouth; the rest was up to Conan.

“That’s not right,” Inspector Yokomizo said, puzzled again. “How do you explain the bottle, slippers, and button we found on the boat earlier?”

Conan and Professor Agasa are putting on a show, while Ai Haibara has already turned back into a child in the hotel bed.

The effects of this medicine lasted for almost three times shorter than the last time Shinichi Kudo took it, which was not much different from what I expected. I just didn't expect to talk to Yusuke Suzuki for so long.

"Heh, it seems I got a little carried away," Ai Haibara chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling what she had said to Shinichi Kudo before.

The intense pain made it difficult for her to remember some of the last things Suzuki Yusuke said; he seemed to have said something like, "I'll love you no matter what."

That girl is so lucky; no matter what, Yusuke will like her.

What should I do...?

With Conan's deduction, Shimojo Noboru had no way to refute the evidence and confessed his guilt. Suzuki Yusuke thought about it and decided to go back to the hotel with everyone.

There are only two possibilities if we go back now: Ai Haibara appears or Ai Haibara disappears.

He felt that the former possibility was not very high. After all, the last time Conan turned back into Shinichi Kudo, it was for quite a while. He would deal with it as it came and think of a way to help cover it up.

However, something unexpected happened: Ai Haibara was actually waiting for them in the room.

Could that woman not be Ai Haibara?

Yusuke Suzuki quickly dismissed the idea. Ai Haibara must have found a way to control the effects of the drug. This whole thing was definitely premeditated.

He pretended not to know anything, offered his usual concern and greetings, and then went back to his room to sleep.

Chapter 144 He instantly activated his powers and escaped.

The following day, the group planned to leave in the afternoon, but Suzuki Yusuke made an excuse about having company business and left early.

Back in Tokyo, he discovered that the FBI agents weren't patrolling outside his neighborhood anymore. Could it be that they were also on holiday?

Yusuke Suzuki took about half an hour to confirm before returning to the apartment.

If the FBI were still around, he could have gone straight home. Now that no one was watching him, he thought some new trick was waiting for him.

In the apartment, Asuka was still asleep. No one knew what she had been doing by herself last night; she looked very tired.

After taking his usual shower, Suzuki Yusuke lay half-reclined on the sofa, lost in thought.

It wasn't until evening that he finally made his decision, put the black pistol on the table into his pocket, and left home.

I didn't drive, I just strolled around the street and then randomly picked a restaurant to eat at.

As midnight approached, Yusuke Suzuki arrived outside Professor Agasa's house; the laboratory lights were still on.

Is the professor still awake?

Yusuke Suzuki quietly climbed over the wall and peered through the window. Inside, he saw Ai Haibara placing a pair of new shoes into an exquisite gift box and carefully tying a ribbon around them.

Are these my own leg-strengthening shoes?

Yusuke Suzuki found an unlocked window and sneaked inside.

He walked to the laboratory door and slowly pushed it open.

I just went to see Professor Agasa; he's sleeping soundly and shouldn't wake up.

Hearing the door open, Ai Haibara turned around in confusion.

"You...how did you get here?"

The little girl was clearly taken aback; the bear-patterned pajamas she was wearing trembled slightly.

Directly opposite her stood Yusuke Suzuki, his face expressionless, coldly watching her. Despite it being the same person, she couldn't sense even the slightest hint of familiarity.

On the contrary... that aura that made her tremble involuntarily grew even stronger.

Dressed in all black, Suzuki Yusuke sneered, pulled out a pistol from his pocket, and pointed it at Haibara Ai. "I've finally found you, Sherry."

Ai Haibara's expression froze instantly.

"You...are you part of the organization?"
