Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 384: Powerful Weapons to Kill Monsters

"These are all the puppets."

In the lobby of the apartment, a seven-step puppet stage was arranged like a miniature palace. On the top level were puppets of the emperor and empress, and three steps down, five musicians held flutes and small drums, the mother-of-pearl patterns on the lacquerware instruments glowing in the light.

"So beautiful!"

Several children couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"But everything has already been arranged, why does Ayumi need to remember the arrangement?" Genta took the box and helped take the dolls off the stage one by one and put them inside.

"Maybe he wants to test whether Ayumi will take good care of these dolls?" Yin Jiu was also helping, but when his fingertips touched the dolls, he couldn't help but secretly lifted a corner of the doll's clothes.

It is a ball-jointed puppet, and the limbs can rotate smoothly.

Yin Jiu's eyes lit up slightly, and he separated a strand of spider silk and tied it around the puppet.

"Yes, I bought those dolls from my hometown specially for my granddaughter." The kind-looking old lady stood behind the crowd with her hands behind her back. "So if she can remember the arrangement of so many dolls, it should mean that she really likes those dolls."

"I see. No wonder I saw the small word 'Guan Ye' engraved on the bottom of each doll. This should be a fully custom-made set, right?" Yin Jiu put the doll back into the box, and while no one was paying attention, he controlled the doll's arm to raise it and gave himself a thumbs up.

Then he pretended to be serious and lifted up another doll to examine it carefully. The jointed torso of the doll was hidden under the clothes, but even with a quick look, each doll's facial features and expressions were unique. Such craftsmanship was truly amazing.

"Could you please give me a store's phone number for reservations?"

The boy with brown curly hair liked the doll more and more as he looked at it. He put down the doll in his hand, took out his mobile phone and went to the side of old lady Guanye.

"Sure, I'll look for the address book."

The topic suddenly turned to something else, and the children just watched Yin Jiu follow the old lady into the inner hall.

Conan finally couldn't help but twitch his lips, and bumped into the absent-minded classmate Huiyuan Ai, "Hey, do you think Yin Jiu is serious and wants to buy you a set?"

"...Who knows?"

Huiyuan Ai withdrew her gaze from Yin Jiu's back with difficulty. After a long while, she came back to her senses and patted her chest. "Besides, he wants to buy it for Grace Ahara. What can I say? Can I just tell him that I'm a fake?"

Haibara Ai's tone was a little stiff, but this didn't mean she was angry. She just felt that her condition today was a little abnormal.

Could it be that I have stayed up too late and my time is really up?

Haibara Ai still had her hand on her chest, feeling the vibration coming from her palm with some anxiety.

Conan, however, completely misunderstood what his friend meant, "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just a little surprised that you actually grew up completely abroad when you were a child?"

"Well, are you curious?" Huihara Ai asked casually, pretending to be indifferent.

In fact, she was not sent to live abroad when she was born. If it had happened before, she would have shared this with Kudo Shinichi who was on the same front without reservation, but now...

"My parents should have bought some for my sister. But they died unexpectedly not long after I was born. These dolls are filled with painful memories, so my sister never took them out again..."

Half-true and half-false words came out of Haibara Ai's mouth. She lowered her head to look at the doll wearing the queen's costume in her hand, with a dull expression on her face.

If she had said this in the past, she might have felt a little sad when she said it, but what if Miyano Akemi had never been her sister.

Therefore, many of the rumors about the Miyano couple that she heard from her "sister" may not be entirely true.

"So this is the reason why your parents passed away?" After talking about this, Conan finally had the opportunity to ask about the situation of Haibara Ai's parents.

That organization seemed to have a set of brainwashing methods specifically targeting the second-generation members. If he wanted to rescue Yin Jiu, he could only find a way out from Huihara Ai, who was also a member of the second generation.

In particular, the parents of both of them were high-ranking members of the organization, but neither of them succeeded in raising their children to adulthood, and they either died or disappeared.

Conan felt that there must be some unspeakable secrets involved, and if he could crack the key, he might be able to break the web woven by the organization and completely rescue Yin Jiu from the brainwashing of the evil forces.

"I heard that there was an accident during the experiment, and those people once questioned my sister..." Haibara Ai looked at the doll in her hand, and suddenly felt that this statement was not credible.

The experimental process of APTX series of drugs basically does not contain any steps that can threaten the safety of the experimenter.

Even if there is, such work will be assigned to peripheral members without code names.

In this way, she had only heard the one-sided story from that woman, Akemi Miyano, about the cause of her parents' death, and even after she became an adult, she had never taken the initiative to look for clues or records.

If the original kinship anchor point is illusory...

"Then I remember Pisker said that your parents were also scientists." Conan was standing behind Haibara Ai and could not see Haibara's expression. The clue was broken again and he felt unwilling.

Especially the words he saw in Itakura Taku's diary two days ago that shocked him - 'We are both God and devil, because we want to reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life.'

What is the purpose of that organization's research on the drug APTX?

"My mother is not actually famous," Haibara Ai paused after hearing Conan's question, and picked and chose what to say, "But my father's name, 'Miyano Atsushi', seems to be quite famous in the academic world."

"He is a mad scientist who was exiled from academia."

"An exiled mad scientist?" Conan's pupils dilated and he repeated subconsciously, "Then could it be that the drugs your parents researched were for..."

Rejuvenation?

Resurrection of the dead?

Conan's expression was unpredictable. If this was the purpose of the research, the number of politicians and businessmen who would suffer might be beyond their imagination.

"It is to bring the dead back to life." The corners of Huiyuan Ai's mouth rose, until she saw Conan's surprised expression, then she said faintly, "Are you satisfied with this?"

"Could it be that what's in the diary..."

"Sure enough." Feeling the test subject's mixed emotions of fear and terror, Huihara Ai patted Conan's shoulder soothingly, "You really did find out. You and Dr. Agasa were not at home that night. Did you go out to look for their clues?"

"Uh..." Conan's voice was stuck when he asked the question. He realized that Haibara Ai was trying to trick him. His expression froze, and then he heard Haibara's voice continue.

"From your expression, I guessed it right."

Huihara glanced at Conan sadly, "But don't worry, my research is not to make that kind of fantasy medicine."

"It's a boring thing that most people in this world can't appreciate its value... Oh, just like that doll, it only has a necessity for children."

If there is no deviation in the research progress of the APTX series of drugs.

There was a hint of darkness in the depths of Huihara Ai's eyes, which had completely opposite medicinal properties to the IDVS series of drugs nicknamed "Bloody Mary", and its effect on the blood sample extracted from Yin Jiu.

The original intention of the APTX series of drugs is self-evident. Perhaps it is the real thing used to kill Brother Yin Jiu, and it lives up to its nickname - 'Silver Bullet'.

It is a powerful weapon that can kill inhuman monsters with one shot.
