Dr. Agasa's tone was a little embarrassed.

In his opinion, this is a rebellious little girl wearing adult clothes and running away from home in heavy rain. She found out about the name of Shinichi Kudo from somewhere, and then took the initiative to come to harass her.

As Dr. Agasa's complicated gaze, Shirley sorted out her overly fat white coat and said in a cold tone:

"Yes, I am his relative, I need to find Shinichi Kudo to confirm something."

“…”

Looking at this figure of a small man and a ghost, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but be stunned.

Officer Takagi saw that the doctor did not speak at this time, and he thought the other party had agreed.

So he nodded and smiled:

"Then...Doctor, this kid will be waiting for you for the time being. When will Kudo come back, tell him again."

"...The rain is getting heavier and heavier now, and it is not convenient for me to stay here for too long."

After saying that, Takagi and Dr. Agasa looked at each other, opened the umbrella, took the car key, and turned around and walked into the rain curtain.

Maybe it was because I had dealt several times in the case and was very at ease with the doctor's character.

Takagi was not worried that the little girl would have problems staying here, so he left the doctor's house with confidence.

Watching Takagi drive away, Dr. Agasa sighed, moved his gaze down, and looked at Shirley with some headache:

"Children, what's the matter with you looking for Shinichi?"

“…”

Shirley didn't say anything.

After the person who is in the way of trouble leaves, she has time to say serious things.

She reached out to brush away the brown bangs that blocked her vision, squinted her eyes, and looked at Dr. Agasa up and down.

Like a capable department manager who reviews subordinates.

Looking at the elderly with white hair in front of her, smiling with kindness on her face and round eyes, Shirley nodded with satisfaction.

She used to investigate Shinichi Kudo and did a lot of homework.

The old man in front of me is Kudo Shinichi's close friend for many years, and he almost watched Kudo Shinichi grow up.

Now, Kudo Shinichi has shrunk into a child. In order to conceal his identity, he needs a child's appropriate identity.

If Shirley is not wrong, the identity of this child was created by Dr. Agasa.

Therefore, Dr. Agasa is very likely to know about Kudo Shinichi and as the other party's secret helper, he secretly provides help to Kudo Shinichi.

Whether it is in life or in case solving.

Shirley stared at Dr. Agasa without turning his eyes, guessing the correct answer in her heart.

But as a person who is running away, Shirley certainly would not go straight to the point - if the other party is not what she thought, it would be difficult to end.

After all, after seeing a member of the organization like Yu Shirakawa, she always keeps in mind the words of knowing people and not being intimate.

so.

She tentatively said in a childish tone:

"Grandpa, are you Dr. Agasa? I've seen your invention on the Internet."

"Old, grandpa..."

Dr. Agasa's eyes twitched, revealing a critical hit.

Although my hair is a little bald, I look older.

But you call Uncle...

Do you seem to miss the old man very much?

He subconsciously touched the top of his head.

I could only touch the Mediterranean that made him feel cold.

However, Shirley ignored Dr. Agasa's childish behavior and continued:

"Doctor, that's right, someone asked me to bring a question."

"—After taking some strange medicine, Shinichi Kudo is doing well?"

When Dr. Agasa heard the word "drug", he was immediately nervous.

If you want to talk about some strange medicine Shinichi has taken recently, there is nothing else except for the poison that reduces the tissue.

——Is it possible that anyone knows the secret of Shinichi becoming smaller and sends a child to deliver the message in a mysterious way?

Dr. Agasa looked at Shirley and kept thinking.

then.

He put away his smile that was still coaxing the child, subconsciously pointed his head outside the door and looked around. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he closed the door and pulled Shirley into the room.

"Hey, kid, what did you mean just now?"

Dr. Agasa asked with a serious expression.

When Shirley saw his extremely shaken expression, she couldn't help but show her "as it is" expression, and then she couldn't help but sway the corners of her mouth:

"I'm not a child..."

"My code name is Shirley, a doctoral student specializing in drug development and biochemistry." After tentative testing, Shirley got to the point.

"ah?"

The doctor opened his mouth slightly, a little confused, and he didn't realize what she meant at the first time.

Shirley ignored Dr. Agasa's reaction and continued to open the skylight and speak loudly: "I am one of the developers of the drug that Shinichi Kudo took."

"…and, I also took the same medicine and became a child."

“!!!”

Dr. Agasa was already stunned.

He was relieved after diluting the information in his mind.

No wonder the child in front of him looked young, but his every move revealed a temperament that was inconsistent with his age.

In Dr. Agasa's solemn expression that was gradually difficult to manage, Shirley began to tell the story of the defection organization.

——Of course, there is only some practical information for the specific content, and she didn't say a single sentence for the sensitive content.

Her purpose was mainly to win the trust of Dr. Agasa and meet Shinichi Kudo.

If too much information from the organization is revealed brainlessly, to some extent, it is also poisoning others.

"Anyway, after I discovered the secret of Kudo Shinichi's shrinking, I modified his information in the organization to die, which should not put him in danger for the time being."

"However, if I am caught by the organization next and forced to ask about my deeds before the defection, Shinichi Kudo will definitely lose his life."

"So... can you take me in temporarily and let me hide here for a while?"

“…”

Dr. Agasa wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, barely squeezed out a smile, and nodded.

You have tied yourself to Shinichi Kudo in the same line... Do I have any reason to refuse?

...

On the other side.

Yu Shirakawa, who had changed his clothes, had already arrived at the Poison Island Mansion.

After routinely verified his identity, he came to the room where Miyano Akimi was house arrested.

However, what surprised him slightly was that Cheng Shi was not here at this time.

Instead, a young woman with a familiar appearance was guarding the living room.

The woman has long, delicate black hair, and her temperament looks soft and belongs to the standard elegant beauty.

However, in the woman's eyes, there are countless dark shadows, which are incompatible with her gentle appearance, and feel very inaccessible.

Looking at the woman's face, Shirakawa walked forward and said hello:

"Miss Okatani, are you still used to staying here? You may have to trouble you to do things here for a long time in the future..."

That's right.

This woman is Okatani Noriko.

Unlike the inaccessible appearance, what filled her soul's sea was a fanatical belief in Shirakawa Yu.

Yu Shirakawa went over to deceive her, mocked and denied that she had chosen the path of "death".

But in terms of the result, Shirakawa Yu stopped Okatani Nobuko from committing suicide, which was infinitely magnified by her in terms of morality, and she was grateful and worshipful.

Saving oneself through clever behavior and replacing a deceased husband becomes a turning point in his life, which is comparable to a god-like existence.
