"Mad scientist?" Dr. Agasa repeated the nickname, then recalled the scene when he chatted with Atsushi Miyano.
"I feel that Dr. Miyano is an easy-going and straightforward person who leaves a very good impression."
"Hmm... I don't know about others, but that's how I see it."
Upon hearing Professor Agasa's evaluation of his father-in-law, Mitsuyu nodded in satisfaction.
As expected, Professor Agasa has a good eye for talent.
Much better than some bespectacled kids who don't need glasses but wear them anyway.
Thinking of this, Kōyū glanced at Conan and pursed his lips.
"Furthermore, Dr. Miyano also quite appreciates some of the new products I've invented," Dr. Agasa said as he drove.
"In short, after spending time with him, I feel that Dr. Miyano is not a 'mad scientist' at all."
He doesn't go deep into that circle.
He usually locks himself in his research lab to work on new inventions, and occasionally attends his friends' invention presentations.
He had never heard of Atsushi Miyano's nickname "mad scientist" before; he only learned about it from Conan today.
"His wife, on the other hand, rarely speaks; I wonder what she's thinking," Dr. Agasa recalled.
"I think her name was Elena?"
It had been more than a decade since he last saw Atsushi Miyano, and even Dr. Agasa wasn't sure if the name he was using was correct.
"Elena? Is his wife a foreigner?" Conan asked a question that Mitsuyu thought was silly when he heard the name.
"Is this thing blind?" Kōyū looked down at Ai, who was sleeping soundly in his arms like a well-behaved kitten.
"With such obvious features, it's clear at a glance that they're of mixed race, right?"
He wanted to complain, but Ayumi and the others were behind him, so in order not to disturb their serious conversation, Kōyū decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
We'll talk about it when we get to the campsite.
"Yes, I heard they met when she came to Japan from England to study," Dr. Agasa nodded and said.
"But I never imagined that she was Ai's mother."
Dr. Agasa was also somewhat surprised by this.
To his surprise, he actually knew Ai's parents.
Moreover, we've known each other for over a decade.
At that time, Ai Haibara probably hadn't been born yet, right?
"I see, no wonder..." Conan subconsciously glanced at the passenger seat, but unexpectedly met Kōyū's gaze.
As if he had been caught doing something wrong, Conan quickly averted his gaze.
At the same time, he had a question in his mind.
"Did Guangyou overhear what they were saying?"
Otherwise, why would I look at him?
"Speaking of which, Dr. Miyano has never mentioned what kind of research he's doing," Dr. Agasa suddenly said, as if remembering something.
Because Professor Agasa subconsciously looked up while thinking, he didn't see a car parked on the road not far ahead.
But Conan, who had turned his gaze away, happened to see it.
In this situation, Conan didn't have time to think about whether Mitsuyoshi had overheard his previous conversation with Professor Agasa. He hurriedly pointed ahead and shouted to Professor Agasa.
"Hey! Doctor, look ahead!"
Upon hearing Conan's shout, Professor Agasa instinctively looked ahead as Conan had instructed.
He was still recalling the scene, but when he saw the car stopped in the middle of the road, Professor Agasa immediately snapped out of his daze.
"Huh? Ah!"
At the same time, Kwang-yu also saw the vehicle ahead.
Without much thought, Kōyū hugged Ai tightly, turned his body to the side so that most of his body was facing forward.
He essentially served as Ai's human airbag.
Just as Kōsuke was ready, Dr. Agasa realized what was happening.
As Professor Agasa slammed on the brakes, the tires screeched violently against the ground.
And two very obvious black tire tracks were left on the ground.
At the same time, due to the huge inertia brought about by the emergency braking, the Beetle did not stop immediately after the brakes were applied, but continued to slide forward for a distance.
The people sitting in the car were also thrown forward uncontrollably due to inertia.
The girls in the back row were fine; there were no metal objects in front of them, and the soft chair backs provided cushioning.
Moreover, because the gap between the back row and the front row is not large, bumping into it will not cause any serious injury, it will just hurt for a short while.
Professor Agasa, who was driving, was also fine. He kept his hands on the steering wheel and was wearing his seatbelt, so he was less affected than the people in the back seat.
The pain in my body will subside after resting for a few minutes.
Conan, instead of sitting properly, leaned against the seat in front of him and almost flipped himself forward, his head nearly making intimate contact with the roof of the car.
—It hit me hard.
Guangyou was the one most affected by this sudden incident.
Because he acted as a human airbag, the immense inertia caused his side body to slam against the car's dashboard.
On the other side, Ai bumped into her.
However, this pain was still bearable for Guangyou.
In the end, he didn't make a sound.
The one least affected is Ai, who is protected by Kyou.
She has Guangyou acting as her human airbag.
Apart from bumping into Guangyou due to inertia, she didn't hurt herself anywhere else.
The pain I felt was simply the unavoidable pain that came from bumping into Guangyou.
After resting for a minute or two, you can barely feel the pain anymore.
Professor Agasa regularly maintains this Beetle, and thanks to that maintenance, the braking system is excellent.
When it was about two meters away from the car stopped in the middle of the road, the Beetle stopped sliding forward.
But when the car stopped, everyone inside fell backward uncontrollably.
After the car came to a stop, Conan and Professor Agasa breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Dr. Agasa's face was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said...
"Thankfully, you're alright."
"Professor, please be more careful when you drive in the future. Remember to watch your step and drive steadily." After calming down a bit, Conan suddenly remembered what Mitsuyu had said to Professor Agasa before they set off.
"That's because you were talking to me while I was driving, so I got distracted and that's how this happened," Professor Agasa said, glancing at Conan who was trying to shift all the blame onto him.
"My fault, my fault, I'm so sorry." Conan then remembered that he was the one who initiated the conversation with Professor Agasa in the first place.
Instead of shifting the blame, he agreed directly and even apologized.
"Cough cough... Stop arguing, you're both at fault." Kōyū coughed twice, released Ai, rubbed the spot on his chest where he had been bumped, and said to the two of them.
...
