Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"48 hours..."

Let alone 48 hours, the antidote's effects might not even last another four hours.

If I change back to my original state, will it cause even greater harm to my body?

"We need to arrange a transfer to another hospital immediately, otherwise it will be terrible if it turns back when there are people around."

Chapter 372 It's so much fun scaring Shirley

Upon receiving the call, Dr. Agasa's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shinichi is out of the operating room!"

He rushed to the basement to tell Haibara the good news.

Ai Haibara beamed with joy, glanced at the time, and quickly packed her things.

She consulted numerous documents and, based on her own experience, roughly determined the duration of the antidote.

Shinichi Kudo's body is currently in the "unstable period" of the antidote, which normally only lasts for 8 hours.

However, severe injury will cause the body to enter "trauma stress mode," where the immune system and repair system will do their best to repair wounds, stop bleeding, fight infection, and prioritize the body's energy and nutrients.

The antidote's cellular recombination depends on active cell division and repair mechanisms; when these resources are diverted, the drug's efficacy is significantly reduced.

Even with energy replenishment, it can only barely slow down the rate of reorganization interruption, and cannot reach the normal time limit of eight hours.

Furthermore, Shinichi Kudo needs to consume a large amount of energy to temporarily sustain cell division. Once the energy supply is insufficient, cell regeneration will immediately stop, and the body will be forced to shrink again.

It's already a great blessing that it didn't shrink during the surgery.

Next, we just need to wait for it to shrink back to its normal size.

She took the phone and, while packing her things, quickly relayed the news to Yusaku Kudo.

"I see."

We can use Conan Edogawa's body to transfer him to another hospital for treatment, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

"I carry the antidote, and I can disguise myself as Shinichi Kudo if necessary."

"Thank you for your help, Ai."

Professor Agasa went to the garage to get his car, and Ai Haibara changed her clothes, then walked out the door with an umbrella to wait for him.

In winter, it gets dark very early, and with the rain, it was already dark outside at just past five o'clock.

As soon as she reached the door, Ai Haibara's pupils contracted sharply, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Qingze held up a black umbrella, his long white hair falling from the hood of his head to his chest. He looked down at the child a few steps away from him, his scarlet pupils gleaming with a dangerous cold light.

Ai Haibara looked at him, and from this height difference, her face under the hood was fully visible.

Koniak! Koniak!!

Why is he here?

Why are you here?!

An overwhelming fear gripped her, as if an invisible hand were squeezing her throat. Her body felt ice-cold, as if she were being watched by a apex predator. She struggled to breathe, and her body trembled more and more violently.

A mocking smile curved Qingze's lips as he lowered his voice, his icy tone like a whisper from the abyss.

"Why are you trembling? Are you afraid of me, little one?"

Ai Haibara took a trembling step back, then stopped abruptly when she remembered that Dr. Agasa's house was right behind her.

She dared not speak, nor dared to move, and remained frozen in place.

Subaru Okiya, who was driving his car out of the garage and heading to the hospital, turned cold upon seeing this scene.

He quickly got out of the car, walked in front of Ai Haibara, blocked her way, and looked at the person in front of him warily.

"Sir, what do you want?"

The umbrella moved up a little, revealing the face of the person in front of it.

Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted.

Koniak!

This look, this outfit, this aura—it's Koniak, absolutely no mistake!

Raindrops pounded on the umbrella. Qingze glanced at him, twirled the umbrella in his hand, and the raindrops splashed onto his face, covering it completely.

Having not used an umbrella and with his face covered in rainwater, Subaru Okiya almost couldn't help but open his eyes.

"none of your business."

Qingze scoffed and walked past.

Subaru Okiya tensed up, opened one eye, and watched the other person's figure disappear before he relaxed.

He looked down at Ai Haibara behind him. As Koniak left, Ai Haibara stopped trembling, and some color gradually returned to her face.

Subaru Okiya wiped the water from his face, his brows furrowed. "What did he just say to you?"

He asked me why I was shaking...

Ai Haibara is still shaken.

Koniak's aura was so overwhelming that just standing there inspired fear.

"That's all you said?"

"Ah."

Subaru Okiya frowned, unsure of the other party's intentions.

Was it to confirm Shinichi Kudo's death?

Or was it just passing by?

Throwing water in someone's face—that's some pretty awful character.

He carefully recalled the face he had just seen...

I used to think that Qingze and Koniak looked quite alike, but now that I've actually seen Koniak, I realize that the two are not the same.

This is not just a difference in temperament, but also some differences in facial features.

Koniak's features were sharper and more piercing than Qingze's, like a sharpened dagger that would sting the eyes if you looked at it, while Qingze's features were much softer.

It's likely that the faces of people you've only seen once in your memory are already blurred, so when you see a similar face, your memory automatically corrects itself to match that face.

That's why he felt that Qingze was very similar to Koniak.

Professor Agasa drove up in his Volkswagen Beetle, rolled down the window, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Okiya, why aren't you using an umbrella?"

"I forgot my umbrella. I'm also going to the hospital. Can I ride with you?"

Standing in the dark corner, watching the car drive away, Qingze circled back.

Standing at the back door of Professor Agasa's house, he surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no security cameras installed nearby or in the yard.

He nimbly flipped over the wall, pulled out two wires, poked at the lock, opened the door, took off his shoes, and went inside.

The house was dark, but the light from the streetlights shone through the windows, providing ample visibility.

He took out a detector, walked around the room with it, and found a listening device very similar to the one in the Mori family's house.

He did not use the listening device, nor did he make any sound.

There was a keypad door in the basement. Qingze glanced at it but didn't touch it.

This basement is probably Sherry's laboratory.

He wasn't very interested in laboratories or anything like that; he wasn't an expert in that field, and even if he saw them, he wouldn't be able to figure them out.

He found Ai Haibara's bedroom, opened the door and entered. He looked around the room and then noticed a power outlet by the bedside.

He removed the socket, took out a listening device from his pocket and inserted it, then put the socket back in place.

After leaving Agasa's house, he sneaked into the Edogawa family's house and, using the same trick, installed one in Kudo Yusaku's bedroom as well.

As for the Kudo family where Shuichi Akai lived, he did not go there.

Shuichi Akai is a secret agent, and he would definitely carry various detection tools with him. It would be easy to detect if a bug were installed next to him, so there's no need for it.

He wasn't sure if he'd hear anything useful, but that didn't stop him from making some preliminary arrangements.

After checking the area and confirming that no traces had been left, he left with his umbrella.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go get a sandwich."

A slight smile played on his lips as he walked toward Poirot Cafe.

Since you're going to show your face, then show it to more people.

Chapter 373 It's better not to need it

It was raining and cold outside, and there were no other customers in the coffee shop. There was only one customer inside.

Qingze pushed open the door, glanced around, and placed the umbrella on the umbrella stand.

"Welcome, light..." The welcoming party's voice trailed off.

Okay, what a scary person...

She took a step back in fear, quietly grabbed her phone, and was ready to call the police at any moment.

Qingze glanced at her indifferently and found a seat.

What kind of desserts do you have here?

"There's chocolate mousse, sea salt cookies, tiramisu..."

"Get a chocolate mousse, a coconut latte, a sandwich, and some pasta."

Once it was confirmed that the guests in front of him were simply having a normal meal, he...

"Okay, please wait a moment."

She first served ready-made cakes and sandwiches, then started making coffee and pasta.

While making coffee, she subtly observed the customer.

Qingze took off his hood, revealing his full face.

Even when looking at the dessert in front of him, his sharp eyebrows and eyes still resembled piercing blades.

槺捐饔行┠善疲馕豢腿顺さ猛λУ模说母芯跷裁淳湍敲纯膳履兀�

His aura was so intimidating that it completely overshadowed his handsome face.

Qingze took a picture of the cake in front of him with his phone and sent it to Ran Mouri.

Have you eaten yet?

Ran Mouri is in Shinichi Kudo's hospital room.

Knowing that he had come out of the emergency room, I should come and visit him.

I need to take a look before I can feel at ease.

The ward was quite crowded at the moment, including the Kudo couple, Professor Agasa, and Ai Haibara.

Ran Mouri looked at the unconscious person on the hospital bed with a worried expression.

Will Shinichi revert to his original form? How long can he stay like this?

As she asked the question, her gaze fell on Ai Haibara.

Haibara was slightly taken aback when she met Ran Mouri's gaze.

It seems that Ran Mouri has already guessed that she is researching and creating an antidote for Shinichi Kudo.

Also.

A genius child with an adult-like personality, who was once targeted by the organization, how could she not overthink things?

She stopped pretending and shook her head slightly.

"I don't know yet, but it should be soon."
