"Where are we going now?"
The typhoon is raging, and this is the last cold wave before summer.
As the wind died down, vehicles began to appear on the street.
Walking on the deserted street, Miss Miyano looked up at the sky and asked:
"I can't go back home anymore..."
After such a big thing happened, if I dare to go back to my apartment, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?
Gin will definitely send someone to track down Shirley's whereabouts...
"There are people watching outside my house, so I can't go in."
Sakaki Makoto thought of a place where...
Safest.
"I'll take you somewhere."
As he said that, Sakaki Makoto stopped a taxi and confirmed that the driver was not an old man...
The two spent a huge sum of 10,000 yen to successfully change the driver's mind and change his route home from get off work to Beika-cho 2-chome.
After getting off the bus...
Miss Miyano looked at the familiar scenery around her and was a little surprised:
"here..."
"Isn't it the Kudo Shin family?"
"That's right."
Right in front of me is a luxurious villa. Behind the fence, it is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time.
but...
Sakaki Makoto's destination was not Kudo's residence.
He knocked on the door of Dr. Agasa's house, next to Kudo's residence.
Boom boom boom...
"Here I come."
Dr. Agasa, wearing a white coat, opened the door and saw Sakaki Makoto and a strange woman. He blinked:
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto?"
There was a typhoon and heavy rain outside, and then Makoto Sakaki suddenly came to the door...
No matter how you look at it, it seems abnormal.
"Dr. Agasa, this is my girlfriend, Miyano Shiho."
Out of courtesy, Sakaki Makoto briefly introduced:
"She just escaped from the Black Organization and is homeless. Can you let her stay here temporarily?"
"When I find a new house, I'll take her over."
"ah!"
Dr. Agasa clapped his hands and thought:
"She must be the developer of APTX4869 that Shinichi told me about!"
"Come in quickly, it's raining so hard outside, you'll catch a cold if you get wet..."
The kind-hearted Dr. Agasa would naturally not watch Sakaki Makoto and the other man standing at the door and being ravaged by the typhoon.
After inviting them into the house, Dr. Agasa brought dry towels and hot coffee and turned on the heater.
The motor starts working and the air conditioner quickly sends out warm air, making the whole house as warm as spring.
He also took this opportunity to contact Conan.
"Shinichi will be here in a moment."
Dr. Agasa sat on the sofa, looked at Miss Miyano who was wiping her hair and lowering her head in silence, and said:
"Mr. Sakaki, as far as I know..."
"The APTX project should be a top secret in the Black Organization."
"As your girlfriend is the first person in charge, how did she escape?"
"I walked in and brought her out, it was that simple."
Sakaki Makoto didn't want to dwell on this matter any more. He turned to Miss Miyano and said:
"Give me the USB."
"Um."
A black USB flash drive was handed to Makoto Sakaki, who placed it on the table:
"This USB drive contains the research data of the APTX project."
"real?"
Dr. Agasa was shocked:
"With it, we can make an antidote?"
"no."
Miss Miyano shook her head:
"So far, I have conducted many experiments and found that the effect of APTX4869 is irreversible."
"It destroys cells in the human body, causing all cells except the nervous system, such as bones, muscles, internal organs, and even hair, to degenerate to the state of a child. It is a poison."
"And this poison..."
After a pause, Miss Miyano sighed:
"It is destructive to the human body. The cells killed by it cannot regenerate."
"That is to say..."
As a well-known scientist, Dr. Agasa certainly understood what she said:
"This process is irreversible, so what about the orderly reproductive division of cells?"
"No impact... probably."
Even as the developer of APTX4869, Miss Miyano does not fully understand its efficacy.
Or rather...
APTX4869 appeared by chance.
It is not easy to find the inevitable connection among coincidences.
This involves knowledge from multiple scientific fields.
"After all, cells have a lifespan."
Perhaps it is a common problem among scientists. When talking about APTX4869, Miss Miyano became interested:
"When you are young, cells divide quickly and die slowly, so the body grows."
"When people age, the telomeres on their DNA will shorten after multiple divisions, and eventually age, leading to an inability to divide and eventually death."
"The emergence of APTX4869 reverses this process. It allows multiple cells in the human body to fuse, increases DNA telomeres, and allows the human body to return to infancy..."
Um.
Sakaki Makoto placed his hands on his knees and nodded seriously.
I don't know why it's so impressive.
His major is not biology, but...
I still have some understanding of it, which is better than that of ordinary people.
To put it more simply...
Not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
"If Shinichi wants to return to his original body..."
Dr. Agasa frowned:
"Must the cells be made to divide again?"
"That's right."
With a slight smile, Miss Miyano said:
