Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 442 Haibara Ai: Today's Miss Anonymous is not right

   Miyano Akemi gently pushed open the door of the basement without making a sound.

   But Haibara Ai blurred the scene behind him from the reflection of the computer screen.

   She grabbed the anesthetic needle in her pocket and turned her head cautiously.

   Then after seeing the person coming, he was slightly startled: "...Miss Anonymous?"

   Miyano Akemi nodded, and Quan Dang greeted him.

   During this process, her eyes fell on Haibara Ai's soft brown hair, and the slender fingers hanging by her side trembled slightly, ready to move.

   But I think of Jiang Xia's reminder and her usual image. Miyano Akemi could only temporarily suppress the thought of grabbing her sister and touching her.

   She raised her hand solemnly and gestured in the shape of a capsule, referring to the antidote of APTX4869.

   Akemi Miyano still remembers Jiang Xia's reminder just now - to use the entity to find her sister, there must be a suitable reason, otherwise the sister will be scared and bald...

   This directive is actually a bit abstract.

   Haibara Ai looked at Miyano Akimi's hand gesturing the capsule, and was a little confused at first.

   But soon, she remembered that in the anonymous organization, there are not many places where she can come in handy - the anonymous people have only communicated with her on APTX4869-related matters except for showing up and saving her from time to time.

   Therefore, after a few seconds, Haibara Ai successfully got the meaning expressed by Miyano Akemi's gesture.

   However, there is one more thing that makes her very concerned...

   Haibara Ai's gaze fell on Anonymous's throat.

She twisted her fingers in a complicated mood, hesitated for a moment, and pretended not to understand the gesture: "You want medicine for your throat? I have a cold capsule here... Well, are you sick? Or injured, or accidentally inhaled. What poisonous gas?"

   Miyano Akemi shook her head and gestured again honestly - the antidote to APTX4869. It was an excuse she used to meet her sister.

  Haihara sighed inwardly, not daring to continue to play stupid.

She looked at Anonymous again, but didn't find any wounds on her neck, so she walked to the safe: "Now I have made several temporary antidotes of different durations, but there is no drug that can completely solve the problem... "

Considering the habit of Anonymous people being elusive, Huiyuan Ai actually made up a box of various types of antidote alone and carried it with her, so that she could pass it to Anonymous as soon as possible when she was looking for her, so as not to be caught by some quick-tempered Anonymous. Insert anesthesia needle.

   But the antidote was in the coat, and the coat was hung at the door of the living room. Now, she is wearing pajamas—Haihara Ai didn't expect Miss Anonymous to go directly into the underground laboratory.

   It seems that when you are at home in the future, you should always bring antidote or other things that anonymous people want... Haibara Ai silently added a note to herself.

   She fiddled with the safe in the laboratory and quickly opened the door.

   Just reached out and touched the antidote, when suddenly there was a small bang from behind, as if someone tripped on something and was about to fall.

  Haihara Ai was startled and turned her head abruptly, just in time to see Miss Anonymous raise her hand to support the cabinet beside her, and regain her footing from a staggering state.

……what happened?

   Huiyuan Ai couldn't care about closing the safe, and trotted over to support her: "Are you alright."

   "It's okay." Anonymous looked down at her, took the medicine box in her hand and put it away, then patted her head, "The hair is good. Stay up late."

After   , she politely pushed the door and left.

  “…?”

  Ai Haibara raised her hand in a daze, touched her fluffy hair that had just been washed, and touched the spot that was photographed anonymously just now with special care... It was still fluffy to the touch, and there was no sign of premature baldness.

  ... So, why did Miss Anonymous suddenly say that?

   Could it be that her hair doesn't look as much as the last time she saw Miss Anonymous?

   Thinking of this, Ai Haibara couldn't help but think of Dr. Agasa's figure, especially his bald head.

   Think about yourself again.

  The two pictures gradually overlap...

   The teenage scientist shuddered suddenly.

   After a while, Ai Haibara recovered from that terrifying future. She trotted out of the basement, but by this time, the hallway was empty - Anonymous left as silently as ever.

  ...I must be very busy. It's so late, and I came to look for her. Maybe I was asked to work overtime again by the leader... Damn, anonymous boss of the organization.

   In addition, I don’t know why, today’s Anonymous Miss seems to be very similar to my sister...

  Haihara Ai's eyes flashed with uncontrollable nostalgia.

   She turned her head and glanced at the landline in the basement, hesitated for a moment, walked back to the laboratory, and closed the door gently.

  …

   Jiang Xia drove a puppet, skillfully climbed over the windows and walls, took the temporary antidote away, and returned to his home.

   That's right, now it's his puppet.

  ——Although he got a lot of energy cores from Koizumi Hongzi, his ghosts have also increased a lot. On average, the improvement is limited.

   Now it seems that the puppets can only maintain independent actions for a few minutes, which is still without any violent movements... If you really want to do something with the puppets, the time the ghosts can last will only be shorter.

   When he got home and scattered the puppets, Jiang Xia picked up Miyano Akemi, who was paralyzed into a ghost cake, and shook it, and temporarily put it back in the tattoo space to let her rest.

  Although the duration is shorter, compared to the previous situation where the puppet could barely move its arms, it has made a leap forward.

   And now, Jiangxia has also found a new way to collect energy cores.

  ...I don't know how long it will take for Koizumi Hongko to recover. Gotta see her in a few days.

   In addition, since there is magic in this world, the magician should not only be Koizumi Koizumi, and I don't know where the rest of the magicians are.

   Also, how did Kidd find where he and Koizumi Koizumi were just now? That scene should have been separated by Koizumi Koriko's magic.

  ... When Kidd comes out next time, I have to ask him if he has any magic secrets at home.

  If there is, urge Kidd to study diligently and become a qualified magical boy...

   The night was already deep.

   Jiang Xia played with the puppets for a while, and after initially figuring out the state of their evolution, he lay down and rested.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia drove the puppet to Kidd's high school and made a brief inquiries.

   Then found out that although Kidd went to school, Koizumi Koizumi's seat was vacant - she asked for leave.

  ...I don't know if I'm hiding from people, or if my magic power hasn't recovered, my body is too weak, or I feel that I've lost face and I don't want to see people for the time being.

   Failed to see the witch who was thinking about it day and night, Jiang Xia had to temporarily return to the peaceful life of a detective.

   Two days later.

   Jiang Xia flipped through the register while waiting for the client to pick up the cat in the office.

   Then I realized with hindsight that I was put out by a client yesterday.

  ——This guest named Shibata Kayo originally made an appointment to pick up her Siamese house yesterday afternoon, but until now, the lively black-faced cat is still stuck in the office.
