The world of science is unscientific

I ate the chocolate reluctantly.

Hmm, it's quite delicious.

Koizumi Akako further confirmed that the magical chocolate containing her own magic power, which could make anyone except Kaito her captive, was useless!

The situation immediately became awkward.

After a long while, Koizumi Akako had her butler send Suzuki Yusuke away and began to think about what other ways she could influence him.

I'd better go and look through some books.

Yusuke Suzuki was completely bewildered. Was that all?

Not long after he drove away, Gin sent him an email with an address in it, asking him to come over.

First, return to the apartment, then call a taxi to leave. After getting off at a random location, randomly find the nearest shopping mall, randomly choose a floor, randomly choose a restroom, and finally disguise yourself.

After the disguise was complete, he cleaned up the traces left in the toilet, wiped away fingerprints, and took away any hair that might belong to him.

After confirming that the people in the restroom had changed, I left.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the Porsche 356-A was parked beside the winding mountain road.

Gin and Vodka looked down the mountain and smoked, like two wanderers with distant dreams in their hearts.

"Gin, what's up?"

Yusuke Suzuki said in a slightly boyish voice that he had already decided on his image in the organization: a blond-haired Japanese youth with an ordinary but handsome appearance.

Looking at his current appearance, you would never imagine that he could kill three people without the slightest hesitation.

Thinking about this, he realized he had forgotten to ask Koizumi Akako how the two girls were dealt with.

Let's go again another day. Aside from sometimes acting strangely, Koizumi Akako is quite easy to get along with.

"There will be an operation soon, and that gentleman will be watching your performance."

Gin tossed away his cigarette butt, like a heartless killer.

...He seems to be one of them.

"Just tell me about this via email."

"Let's also take a look at your abilities. Someone has confirmed that you did a pretty good job this time."

After saying that, the two got into the car and drove away.

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

What's going on today? Everyone's like this.

You don't even specify a timeframe for the operation. You guys have nothing better to do all day, just loafing around and ready to act at any moment, but me...

Oh, he's like that too. Never mind then.

Suddenly at a loss for what to do, Yusuke Suzuki returned the rented car, then found a place to remove his disguise and took a taxi back to his apartment.

Since it was still early, he simply went to find the professor, bought the ingredients, and prepared dinner to wait for Ai Haibara to come home so they could eat together.

As soon as I entered, the Junior Detective League was there.

Is today a holiday again?

Didn't we go camping the day before yesterday? How many days have passed...?

"Yusuke is here."

Professor Agasa opened the door and led him inside with a smile.

Seeing him approaching, carrying groceries, the members of the Junior Detective Club cheered in unison.

"That's great! I get to eat Yusuke-nii's cooking again today!"

Even Conan seemed very excited.

He paid special attention to Ai Haibara's expression as soon as he entered, but as usual, he couldn't tell anything.

After playing with the children for a while, he learned that Conan and his friends had experienced another murder case.

It was something he remembered, it happened in the movie theater.

"Why did you come here?" Ai Haibara moved closer to him and sniffed him. "You smell very clean. Did you take a shower before coming?"

"It seems you've already gone out today."

Yusuke Suzuki's expression remained unchanged. "No, I just didn't wash yesterday. I didn't want you to smell anything bad."

He looked around. Professor Agasa was staring at his computer, seemingly doing something, while Conan and Genta were playing cards, and Ai Haibara was holding a book.

These days are quite leisurely.

Chapter 19 The First Mission from the Organization

"Ayumi, are you feeling unwell?"

Yusuke Suzuki saw Ayumi huddled alone on the sofa, looking very weak.

The kids were talking about a recent home invasion robbery and murder case, and they got a lecture from Professor Agasa and Yusuke Suzuki. That's when he noticed that Ayumi was acting strangely.

Ayumi nodded and asked in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, do you have any throat lozenges?"

"Does your throat hurt?" Professor Agasa scratched his head. "I'll go look for it."

"No need, Doctor. Just go and buy some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. I'll make a medicinal meal for Ayumi."

"Medicinal cuisine?" Yuan Tai raised his pointed head. "What is medicinal cuisine?"

“Medicinal cuisine isn’t anything, Genta,” Conan immediately explained to his friend. “It’s a type of Chinese cuisine, made from medicinal herbs and food.”

"Oh? That must taste awful..."

Conan fell silent, because he had never eaten it either.

What kind of medicinal cuisine are you planning to make?

Ai Haibara yawned as she closed the book. China is a magical country; baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) can actually serve as a temporary antidote for APTX-4869. She is currently developing an antidote based on baijiu.

Yusuke Suzuki smiled faintly and said in fluent Chinese, "Sherry."

!

Ai Haibara felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. What did he just say? Sheery?

"It's just rock sugar pear soup, a very common and everyday drink."

Yusuke Suzuki chuckled, "Because it's so simple, you can do it right now."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen.

Sigh, I get so bored I want to scare the kids. No, I'll scare Conan later.

Watching Suzuki Yusuke's retreating figure, Conan rested his chin on his hand in deep thought.

"Hey, Haibara, didn't he mention that before?"

"What did you say?"

“He had been studying in the UK, yet he knows how to cook so many kinds of Chinese food, and his Chinese pronunciation was very standard just now.”

"Your English is also very good."

Once she calmed down, Ai Haibara replied calmly, "Conan can have a thousand reasons to doubt Yusuke Suzuki, but she can't."

If Suzuki Yusuke were a member of the organization, she definitely wouldn't be alive now.

She also didn't want to believe that even the slightest possibility really existed.

“Heh, maybe, after all, there really is a drink called rock sugar pear,” Conan raised his phone, which displayed search results. “Besides, it’s unpredictable that Ayumi would get sick and have a sore throat, so there’s no need for him to test her like this.”

“However,” Conan’s eyes suddenly began to gleam as he looked toward the kitchen, “he’s definitely not simple.”

In just half an hour, Yusuke Suzuki made a big pot of rock sugar pear soup. He tasted it and it tasted just right.

Although the benefits of rock sugar pear soup are mainly in relieving coughs, clearing phlegm, and moisturizing the lungs, it can also help with sore throats caused by inflammation.

Combining medication with this approach makes it easier for children to accept the treatment.

"Wow, this pear drink looks delicious!"

Genta Kojima quickly approached, eager to try.

"After all, this is medicine, so you can't drink too much of it."

"Yes!"

Ai Haibara also filled a bowl, "Mmm...so sweet."

Before Suzuki Yusuke could even have a bowl for himself, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

unknown number.

……

It's not the Qin Bar.

connected.

There was no response from the other end.

Okay, it's confirmed, it's Gin.

But he didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

Making a phone call to Gin in front of Conan...that's really exciting.

Two seconds later, the call ended.

Then an email arrived.

"Tell me when it's convenient—Gin"

They're really being cautious...

"Brother Yusuke, whose phone is that?"

Conan, with a pear in his mouth, stared at him with a blank expression.
