Listening to Gao Yuan's response, Xiao Ai kept the same expression as before, and stared at Gao Yuan's expression for a while.
Suddenly, Xiao Ai seemed to be relieved, and a smile of relief could not help but appear at the corner of her mouth.
Looking at Xiao Ai's reaction like this, Gao Yuan was suddenly confused again——
This body of my own should be the original body of Xiao Ai's former college friend Kyousuke Mitarai. However, after I came to this world and took over this body, I have no memory of the original body, so internally,
He is Takato, not Kyosuke Mitarai.
And this, with the subsequent emergence of "devil" props, allows me to truly get rid of the mark of my original body to a certain extent...
However, this body is the original body after all, and many marks are not so easy to completely get rid of. Just like taking "APTX4869", it cannot be eliminated from your body.
And now, the fact that I have this body and may have taken the drug developed by Cointreau has appeared. No matter how I think about it, I will never feel that I have no deep connection with Cointreau and Mitarai Kyousuke.
However, now that the matter has come to this, he is no longer his original self after all, and at the moment, he really doesn’t know anything. Therefore, facing Xiao Ai’s serious inquiry, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan could only look guilty and replied: "
have no idea".
However, after hearing Gao Yuan's answer that was completely evading the question, Xiao Ai's expression of relief made Gao Yuan confused. Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan's face showed surprise and confusion——
Seeing this, Xiao Ai noticed Gao Yuan's expression and realized something. He couldn't help but said with a smile on his face:
"You didn't lie to me, that's enough."
It seems that because Gao Yuan did not lie, the truth is not important to Xiao Ai——
"Even if you really took the drug developed by Cointreau, so what? If you don't even know it yourself, who can tell the truth clearly?
"After all, Jundu... facing such a character, everything is really unpredictable..."
Xiao Ai said this with great relief.
"That……"
Seeing what Xiao Ai said, Gao Yuan, who wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but finally hesitated and asked:
"You said that the drug developed by Cointreau is broadly speaking to suppress the side effects of the drug studied by your father. So... will people who have already taken that drug die if they take 'APTX4869' again?"
——The original body should be dead, and the cause of death is due to the effect of "APTX4869", but the original body may also have the effect of the drug specially developed by Cointreau to suppress the side effects of this drug, so it stands to reason
, will the original body die because of "APTX4869"?
"this……"
After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Xiao Ai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know. After all, what I saw was only theoretical information on this drug. Until there is actual data, nothing is known. And it seems that this drug was developed to suppress side effects, but after all, the basic idea is the same. At the same time,
After taking these two drugs, it is unknown what changes will happen to the human body when the drugs take effect. Maybe, under the effects of the two drugs, a person simply cannot bear the pain when the drugs take effect...
"Furthermore, Cointreau's research is ultimately based on my father's research back then. And now, although my research is also based on my father's, the drugs developed cannot be exactly the same as those back then, so...
…”
Speaking of this, there was no further words. In the end, Xiao Ai only added:
"I can't make a judgment without doing experiments."
"That's it..."
Indeed, it is impossible for Xiao Ai to make an accurate judgment based only on some incomplete information.
However, since Xiao Ai mentioned two possibilities, that means that even if the original person may have taken the drug studied by Cointreau in advance, he may not be guaranteed to survive under the effect of "APTX4869", so the original person may not be able to survive under the effect of "APTX4869".
cause of death...
Well, who knows.
I feel that a lot of doubts have been solved, but at the same time, more doubts have appeared. I am afraid that with the death of Cointreau, no one can really explain many things clearly...
"So, can you confirm whether I have actually taken that drug?"
Now, since Xiao Ai chooses to believe that she is "not clear", then in order to confirm this matter, it is better to confirm it——
After all, Gao Yuan was also very curious whether it was really because he had taken the drug studied by Cointreau that he had different physical changes from Xiao Ai and Conan after taking the antidote.
In response, Xiao Ai shook her head helplessly:
"That's not possible at the moment."
With that said, Xiao Ai looked at the various instruments in the basement and explained:
"With the existing instruments, nothing can be detected. Didn't I think about drawing your blood for research before? But I didn't find anything abnormal... And if you don't rely on the instruments, but look at the theoretical efficacy of the medicine...
…”
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lai sighed and murmured:
"No way. You have to wait at least ten years to see if you will grow old...or, your body will be dead after death..."
Halfway through the words, Xiao Ai's voice became softer and softer. She knew that the expected medicinal effects mentioned in the description of Cointreau's theory could not be verified on Gao Yuan at the moment, so she simply stopped talking.
After hearing Xiao Ai say "no", although Gao Yuan couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly, Gao Yuan also knew that Xiao Ai had no way to verify, so he simply gave up...
…
"Hey? Mr. Matsumoto's wedding ceremony?"
On the way out of school, Xiaolan, who was walking home from Teidan High School with Sonoko, finally received a call from Kudo Shinichi——
Because when I went to school in the morning, I learned that the junior high school teacher, Mr. Matsumoto, was getting married this weekend. At the same time, after Sonoko guessed that Kudo Shinichi might not go, Xiaolan asked Kudo Shinichi to confirm the matter.
I sent an email to my own inbox asking.
As a result, Kudo Shinichi didn't reply to the call until after school.
"That's right. I heard that all the junior high school students have received the invitation letter. I think you should have received it too... But have you not been back recently? Just in time, Yuanzi and I are planning to go to your house.
Look, if you receive an invitation letter in your mailbox, will you go there this weekend?"
After answering the phone, Xiaolan said with such a gentle smile.
"What a joke! Who will go to that woman's wedding ceremony?"
As a result, Kudo Shinichi's disgusted voice came from the other side of the phone.
In response to this, Xiaolan looked bitter and sighed:
"But, I asked around our junior high school classmates today, and they all plan to go. In this case, it can be regarded as a reunion of my junior high school classmates. So, if possible..."
"Stop trying to persuade me, Xiaolan!"
After listening to Kudo Shinichi's response on the phone, Sonoko chuckled and said:
"That guy always makes the teacher angry in music class, how could he go there..." ()
