Chapter 213 Winter is coming

"Soma4792, the latest research results" While the man was introducing, the experimenter opened the safe next to him that needed to be unlocked by fingerprints, and took out a few reagents placed on a special stand. The

reagents were less than one-third of the translucent liquid, reflecting a grayish green color under the light, which looked very close to the color of the surface of the skeletons found in the villa at that time.

"Please don't be nervous. Due to the confidentiality of the experiment, we need to temporarily cut off all signals in the venue."

Several loud noises were immediately heard in the venue, as if the equipment was interfered with and all signals were cut off. This was originally a simple alarm set by them, in order to know the signal status in time, but now no one was alert because of the cut signal.

Tsukiyama Asari quickly found Kawashima Akiyoshi and Sai Takafumi, whom he had met on the ship before, in the crowd. Compared with the others, the two of them looked much calmer and seemed a little out of place in this occasion, but Miss Masaya, who was disguised by Vermouth, did not appear.

But soon, the situation on the screen made him no longer pay attention to the venue.

The test agent was slowly injected into the blood vessels of the animals pressed on the test platform in the second minute after the communication was cut off.

A few seconds later, the docile rabbit next to the test platform suddenly struggled hard, and the tearing wail spread throughout the venue from the speaker. As its body shrank little by little, it would have jumped off the test platform if there was no experimenter holding it down.

A sharp scream came from the crowd. The silver-haired woman stared at the completely shrunken rabbit on the screen in a daze, and she didn't even realize that she had screamed.

She covered her masked face with her wrinkled hands, and excited emotions flashed out from her eyes. It seemed that she had imagined herself returning to her youth like the rabbit.

The shout was sharp and piercing, but no one cast their eyes towards the source of the sound like Tsukiyama Chaoli and the others. Even though they didn't make any sound like her, their excited expressions were almost the same as that person's.

The experiment has actually reached this stage... If the research continues, combined with Miyano Shiho's research data on APTX4869 at the time, the organization estimates that they will soon discover the true identity of Edogawa Conan, and even follow the clues to Haibara Ai.

However, due to the actions taken by the public security, they now estimate that they don't have the energy to carry out the next research.

The shrunken rabbit was, as if a bomb was dropped into deep water. The whole venue was noisy, screaming and loud talking, like thick smoke covering all other sounds.

"Crazy... Really crazy." Maori Kogoro's incredulous shout was completely drowned out by other sounds. The scene just now was too shocking for him. He looked around the venue and shouted, "Are all the people here crazy? Rejuvenation... How can such a good thing be possible? This is simply going against the rules. How can it succeed?"

Edogawa Conan remained silent. He looked around with a serious expression. The atmosphere at the scene was so oppressive that people could not breathe. Maori Kogoro's words were simple, but the people here were not as clear-headed as he was.

The famous detective took two breaths and shook his head vigorously, and then he pulled himself out of the scene. He asked the others to move closer, and pushed the little boy who was with him almost every time something happened back a little. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think we should leave early tomorrow morning. I don't know what these rich people are thinking... After we go back, first..."

"No, I'm afraid we can't leave." He was interrupted by Conan Edogawa before he finished speaking. The boy's tone of voice was not like that of a child at all. His eyes were hidden behind the lens, silently looking at the chaotic scene.

"You kid..." Looking at the other party's adult-like eyes, Kogoro Mori rubbed his nose and lowered his voice, "Are these the guys who made you look like this now?" "

...How could you..." Conan Edogawa was stunned and looked up at the other party.

"I'm sure after seeing this. If you don't show me this... this thing, who would believe such a shocking thing... Have you ever taken a bath with Xiaolan?!" Thinking of this, the detective's expression twisted. He stretched out his hand and wanted to hit the other person on the head, but then remembered that now was not the occasion to talk about this, "I'll deal with you when I get back... What do you mean by you can't leave?" "

They didn't check the identity seriously at all. Even people like us who have never participated in this research project were invited to the banquet hall to see this... thing that can't be shown to other people. This means that they are sure that the people here will never tell anyone about what happened today. Only..."

"Only the dead can't talk." Okiya Subaru continued the unfinished sentence in a deep voice, "The drinks here should also have problems."

"Damn, these guys." Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth.

"It's just an animal... just an animal..." The man at the front muttered in a low voice after being excited, as if to persuade himself. He quickly raised his head and cast his eyes on the man who had not spoken on the stage, "What about humans? What is the success rate on humans?"

His hands were shaking with excitement, and he had already drunk half of the wine in the glass in his hand.

"Currently, research on the human body is still ongoing, and the effect on humans is about one-third to one-quarter of that on animals." Seeing that some people in the conference hall kept showing disappointment, the man continued, "But... it has been very effective."

The screen flickered, and after a few seconds of black screen, it soon flickered with a dim light again.

In a corner of the banquet hall, Toru Amuro was looking down at the text messages on his phone. Just at the moment of the animal experiment last night, his phone vibrated and received a text message from the manor.

[Leave the banquet hall immediately.

- Rum]

The blond-haired, dark-skinned man slightly widened his eyes. He turned his head and found that three of the several passage doors that were originally wide open had been closed just now. Several members of the organization, who were also waiters, hurriedly left the venue with trays in their hands, obviously they had also received the message.

How could it be at this time...

He frowned, turned off his phone, and looked back at the screen. While observing the situation over there, he tried to use the communicator to get in touch with Matsuda Jinpei and the others, but because of the shielding device that had just been turned on, he couldn't get through no matter what.

The screen flickered for a while, and a new lens replaced the previous animal laboratory. The new one was much better than the previous one in terms of equipment and layout. Several different instruments were placed in the back, and the front ends of the wires derived from them were connected to the person in the center of the screen.

Familiar black straight hair.

He didn't know that there was a camera in front of him. The person on the screen was quietly lowering his eyes, his limbs were fixed to a chair with straps at the four corners in the laboratory, as if he had already gotten used to it.

The picture froze for a moment, and then even the last bit of blur disappeared.

The high-power camera clearly showed the man's eyebrows and eyes on the chair, his red lips that were too conspicuous in the bleak laboratory, his slender neck with faint scars, and even his eyelashes that covered his eyes and trembled with his breathing.

Amuro Toru saw that the wealthy businessman closest to him trembled slightly, and the wine in his glass spilled out.

"Jun..." A small cry of surprise came out of his trembling lips, but soon, he swallowed the second half of the name as if he was strangling someone by the neck, and did not cause any ripples in the noisy hall because of the scene just now.

For most people at the banquet, this is probably a strange face, but for some people who have been punished by that gentleman for their private actions, this face is probably still fresh in their memory. The blond-haired and dark-skinned waiter retracted the surprise in his eyes, and saw that several people who were covering their faces had their limbs stiffened because of the fear engraved in their bones, and subconsciously hid in the crowd.

Jundu.

Amuro Toru widened his eyes. The man's beautiful eyebrows were magnified on the screen, and the familiar face made him recognize it at the first sight.

How could he be here?

Recalling the hurried meeting with Yu Gu Miao in the back in the morning, the latter just said that he received a temporary call from Rum and needed to act alone first. In addition, the two had a brief communication in the afternoon, and the message from there also said that it was safe at the moment. It seemed that he had no idea about this matter. Rum probably just told him to go to the laboratory of the manor for a routine experimental inspection.

The blond public security officer frowned fiercely and subconsciously turned his head to look at the position of Edogawa Conan inside the venue. At the moment the picture was released, Tsukiyama Asari, who had just watched the experiment with his own eyes and was still considered calm, glared and directly knocked over the wine glass that he had been holding but not drinking.

The glass shattered into pieces the moment it fell to the ground, but this sound did not attract the attention of anyone in the venue. Everyone was staring at the screen quietly, holding their breath and waiting for what would happen next.

At the moment when Tsukiyama Asari smashed the wine glass, Yutani Miu, who had originally lowered her eyes, seemed to suddenly feel something, raised her eyes and looked directly in the direction of the camera, and her cold gray eyes looked through the camera as if she was meeting everyone's eyes.

Author's words:

Thank you for reading

I've been a little confused recently, and I just realized that when I re-update, I should replace the previous 210 with the newly revised chapter 210.

I changed the original noon time to the evening.
