Chapter 136 Sherlock Holmes's Journey Tickets Asking for Monthly Tickets (〃〃)

Jiang Xia took out the bottle and looked at Huiyuan Ai who was holding the milk:

"I'm here to talk business. In your case, if you drink Lao Baigan when you have a cold, you can temporarily return to your original body shape. Since you were previously responsible for the research and development of APTX4869, it's a good opportunity to try to make a temporary antidote based on a similar principle."

Haibara Ai's pupils trembled slightly and she stood there.

She had known for a long time that Anonymous was not a simple person, but she didn't expect that they even knew the code name of the drug.

Wait, speaking of this...

Her expression changed and she became alert: "Are you the adult who was shrunk by APTX4869?!"

But after being asked, Haibara Ai denied this speculation herself - she was the person in charge of the research and development of APTX4869, and she had records of who had used the drugs that were distributed.

After hesitating for a moment, Huiyuan Ai changed the question: "How do you know that this bottle of wine can make me bigger?"

Jiang Xia was now wearing a vest, so he didn't need to make excuses for the parts he didn't want to say. He smiled and said, "You don't need to know."

Haibara Ai looked at him, her fingers trembling... The contrast of speaking serious lines in the appearance of a child made her want to raise her hand to pinch Xiaobai's face, but soon, she withdrew her hand at the other party's suddenly fierce gaze... Forget it, she is almost an adult and cannot bully children.

Moreover, the anonymous people may have considered her mentality and sent Xiaobai to contact her. If Xiaobai is angry and leaves, who knows what kind of people will come in the future, maybe some despicable human traffickers who kidnap children...

Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai put away her messy thoughts, took the wine from Jiang Xia, and said seriously: "Thank you."

Jiang Xia continued to talk about business: "These matters must be kept strictly confidential - including from the old man who lives here. In addition, if you have any results, the antidote cannot be given to anyone except 'Anonymous'."

Huiyuan Ai nodded. She thought absentmindedly, Xiaobai called the doctor "grandfather", so his true form is not an uncle. And the medicine of her generation did not have any problems, so Xiaobai was probably a real child...

Jiang Xia felt relieved when he saw her nod.

The short-acting antidote is mainly prepared for Haibara Ai.

As for Conan... From my impression, Conan's temporary antidote to APTX4869 is that he is a drug addict. He takes one pill whenever he finds an excuse, and walks around in the streets every day in the guise of Kudo Shinichi, treating Gin as nothing.

Now, as long as the antidote is in Anonymous's hands, there is no need to worry about Conan being suddenly discovered by the organization one day and a second assassination being launched.

…

After dealing with the temporary antidote, Jiang Xia climbed out the window and left.

After he left, Haibara Ai went to the window and looked out, only to find that there was no one outside and no vehicles leaving on the road.

She thought for a moment, looked down at the bottle of white wine in her arms, and then took the bottle of wine into the basement.

…

After Jiang Xia delivered the wine, he didn't think about it anymore.

It would be great if we could make a temporary antidote, but if we can't, it's actually not a big problem.

Compared to this, Jiang Xia is more concerned about the newspaper in front of him.

——A prize-winning guessing contest was posted above.

The questions in the contest are all related to Sherlock Holmes. It is said that those who answer all the questions correctly will have the opportunity to participate in the "Sherlock Holmes Tour" organized by the publisher. And if you pass the organizer's test in the Sherlock Holmes Tour, you can get the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet".

Jiang Xia was not interested in Sherlock Holmes or books.

But in his impression, this Sherlock Holmes journey will probably not be peaceful.

…

Jiang Xia then got a set of the complete works of Sherlock Holmes, read it from beginning to end, and memorized its contents. The psychic's ability to have a photographic memory was very convenient at times like this.

Then he put the written answer into the envelope and mailed it.

According to the rules, even if all the answers were correct, it would still depend on luck to be selected. And if it depended on luck... Jiang Xia felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

…

Not long after, Jiang Xia received the invitation to the Sherlock Holmes tour as he wished.

He took the invitation letter and went to the Maori Detective Agency, hoping to randomly grab a lucky classmate to go with him.

However, when they arrived, only Kogoro Mori was at home.

"Conan? That kid went to school, and today is a working day." Mouri Kogoro looked at Jiang Xia who was skipping class and wanted to reprimand him.

But thinking of Jiang Xia's perfect score report card, he swallowed his words silently and continued to talk about Conan: "This kid's skateboard is broken. He will definitely go to Dr. Agasa after school. If you need to find him, you can go there to see him."

Jiang Xia looked at the watch and found that it was almost time to finish school, so he turned around and went to the doctor's house again.

…

There is also only one empty-nest elderly person in Dr. Agasa's house, and neither Haibara Ai nor Conan are there.

Jiang Xia asked casually, and the doctor said with a bit of boasting, like an old grandfather sending his granddaughter to school for the first time:

"Xiao Ai has gone to school. She used to be very reluctant to go out, staying in the basement all day and refusing to go out to the yard, but she seems to have suddenly come to her senses these past few days."

Jiang Xia: “…” Is this Haibara Ai’s first time going to school?

He thought about this key point, suddenly remembered a case, and turned to go out.

…

Jiang Xia was walking on the road and sent a message to ask about the situation of Huibara Ai, but no one replied. Maybe the phone was muted or he didn't check it.

I called Inspector Megure again, but the line was also busy.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia decided to go and take a look himself. He had nothing to do anyway.

He left the doctor's house and headed straight for the station.
