Side Story (4): Confessing and Keeping Things from You



In fact, Kōsuke's trip to Professor Agasa's house was not specifically to see Ai Haibara.

After going downstairs, he walked along the street to the corner and got directly into a white Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road.

Yusaku Kudo was driving, and Yukiko Kudo was sitting in the passenger seat.

At this moment, she had removed the disguise from her face, revealing her original appearance.

Sitting in the back seat with Kōyū was Conan, who had been taken away.

He was leaning back in his seat when Guangyou got on the bus. He turned to look at Guangyou and said:

"I'm really not used to leaving all of a sudden."

"I think you're just reluctant to give up living with Ran," Yukiko Kudo said, turning to Conan with a grin. "Or should I find another excuse to send you back?"

"Mom, you've really gone too far!" Conan's cheeks flushed slightly, clearly having hit the nail on the head, but he certainly wouldn't admit it.

"Hehehe~" Yukiko Kudo saw through it but didn't say anything.

"You did a great job." Kudo Yusaku started the car, without turning around, and said, "You also know you can't be reckless."

Conan was not happy about his father's praise, because the key role in this mission was played by Mitsuyu, while he basically just slacked off.

He didn't want to exaggerate, so he told the truth:

"This time it was Guangyou who did a good job, it has little to do with me."

“You’ve grown a lot compared to before, haven’t you?” Yusaku Kudo said as he drove. “That’s already quite good.”

“Yes,” Yukiko Kudo agreed. “Compared to before, Shinichi, you seem much more reliable.”

"Too bad, he's still a reasoning fanatic whose mind is only focused on deduction." Guangyou added, glancing at the scenery flashing by outside the window.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak." Conan put away the smile that had just appeared on his face and glanced at Kouyu with his crescent-shaped eyes.

"Hehe." Guangyou killed the conversation without any expression.

Along the way, Yukiko Kudo kept talking to Conan and Mitsuyu, and occasionally Yusaku Kudo would also say a few words and express his opinion.

The office is not far from Professor Agasa's house.

Soon, the car stopped in front of Professor Agasa's house.

"I'm going back to get something."

Upon arrival, Yukiko Kudo got out of the car, leaving behind a few words, and then eagerly returned to the Kudo residence.

They came to Professor Agasa's house because Conan was going to take the antidote today.

The facilities here are more complete, making it more convenient if you need anything.

After getting out of the car and closing the door, Kōyū and Conan went into Professor Agasa's house.

As soon as he entered, Kōyū went to the basement to find Aya.

At this moment, Ai is undergoing her final test before taking the antidote.

The mice's vital signs were normal after taking the antidote, but the mice did not take APTX4869 and survived.

Therefore, the safety of the antidote still cannot be guaranteed.

This test may not be able to find the problems that were not found before, and may not guarantee that the antidote is 1,000% safe, but as a precaution, this procedure cannot be omitted.

"How is it?" Kōyū walked up to Ai and asked.

"It's going smoothly so far." Ai replied without stopping her work, "It'll be done in a few more minutes. You can sit down for a bit."

After sitting on the edge of Ai's bed and reading for a few minutes, Kōyū heard Ai say something to him:

"Let's go, I'm almost done here."

"With my current skill level, no matter how much testing I do, I probably won't be able to detect any problems."

"You've worked hard~" Guangyou walked to Ai's side, put his hand on her shoulder and gently squeezed it a few times.

"After all, this was done because of me, so it wasn't hard work."

After putting the antidote and some emergency medications into the medicine box, Ai said to Kousuke:

"Let's go up, someone's probably getting impatient."

As soon as the two entered the living room, Conan stood up from the sofa.

"Let me state upfront that although I have tested it many times and there have been no problems, I still cannot rule out the possibility that there is a problem with the antidote."

After giving the medicine box away, Ai reiterated the risks of taking the antidote.

"The possibility of..."

“...”

"I understand, no need to say anything more."

"I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."

Before he could even finish listening to all of this, Conan couldn't contain his emotions and opened the medicine box.

"This is the antidote. The rest are things like painkillers that might work, and some other medications you might need later. They all have labels."

Pointing to the antidote in the medicine box, Kōyū explained it to Conan.

"I understand." Conan nodded.

He took out the antidote and raised his hand as if to take it on the spot.

"Hey, hey, let's eat in the lab." Guangyou stopped him. "They can record your vital signs there, and they also need to record your reaction after you take the antidote."

"That's true." Conan sensed that he was getting a little anxious.

In case of any unexpected situation after taking the antidote, that record can be helpful in resolving the problem.

Just as Conan entered the research lab, Yukiko Kudo walked in with her camera.

"Where's Shinichi?"

"Could he have already taken the antidote?"

Seeing her regretful expression and the camera in her hand, Guangyou knew what she was planning.

That's good, in addition to videos, we can also keep a record with photos.

"Not yet," Guangyou replied. "He's in the lab right now, waiting for me to go over and adjust the equipment."

"Let's go, let's go!" As soon as Yukiko Kudo heard that she wasn't late, she pulled Mitsuyu towards the research lab.

After setting up the camera, adjusting all the parameters, and turning on the recording switch, Kōyū said to Conan and Yūkiko Kudo:
