As Rei Furuya genuinely laughed, a bell rang from the shop door.
"I'm back." Ai, who had just entered the room, was taken aback when she saw the three people sitting opposite her.
She still wore her hair in a bun today, with two strings of small beaded hair accessories hanging on both sides, which made the usually aloof female PhD student's face look a bit softer and cuter.
Rei Furuya, who wasn't used to her look, also paused for a few seconds.
After a while, he finally told her why he had come.
Unexpectedly, Ai refused without hesitation.
“I can’t conduct any research right now,” she explained. “The pharmaceutical data is all stored on computers, and it’s definitely being closely monitored by the winery.”
"Let alone the raw materials for pharmaceuticals, I don't even have any of them on hand right now."
Rei Furuya was slightly taken aback: "You...didn't you bring your medicine with you when you came out?"
Ai shrugged and spread her hands.
"The medicine I was carrying was for my own consumption..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mingmei hugged her tightly, her heart aching for her.
No one had the heart to ask any more questions about a girl who had tried to commit suicide by taking medication to protest against the organization.
Ai blinked in her sister's arms, swallowing the rest of her sentence.
The puppeteer didn't take the remaining pills; he just tossed them into a drawer in the room.
Even if it were discovered, no one would eat capsules of unknown origin, right?
Most likely, it has already been thrown into the trash can.
Therefore, there is no need to mention him to these people.
Yuanshan is his "enemy"...
Unaware that her sister-in-law had categorized her as an "enemy," Yoruichi Toyama was quite pleased with herself, and winked at Rei Furuya with a grin.
"So, Ai should stay with me."
Just as Rei Furuya sighed and was about to get up to leave, Ai Haibara said, "Unless..."
Little auntie, you should have said so earlier if you had another way!
All eyes were fixed on Ai's serious face.
"Unless you can find me a case study, I might be able to find something useful by exploring clinical drug use."
"ah?"
Not only Furuya Rei, but even Toyama Yoruichi was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Wasn't it said that this female PhD student doesn't conduct human experiments?
"You... the case you mentioned is..." Furuya Rei stammered, clearly already knowing the answer.
"Yes, it's that precious baby you've been nannying for every day, Conan Edogawa."
Ai spoke with conviction.
"Didn't he shrink after taking my medicine? His symptoms are exactly the same as mine."
"You can't expect me to test the drugs on myself, can you?"
"I certainly don't mind, but if I try it wrong, it could be life-threatening..."
"No way!" This time it was Inspector Furuya's turn to get agitated. "Neither you nor Conan can be used as test subjects!"
He took a breath before softening his tone: "Then you can stay here in Yuanshan for now, and I'll find a chance to get your information from the organization..."
"Okay, I hope you succeed soon." Ai, who had clearly been waiting for him to say that, revealed a mischievous smile.
Officer Furuya, who had been tricked, could only accept his bad luck.
After all, no one has ever been able to gain the upper hand against this lady.
"However," he earnestly advised as he prepared to leave, "Ms. Mingmei, you must be careful to reduce the frequency of your public appearances."
"Absinthe, she's back."
