Upon hearing Shiho Miyano's words, among everyone present, perhaps only Jiang Hang was able to remain calm.
The speculation about Drug A had been discussed by Conan fans worldwide for twenty years before he transmigrated, and basically all the normal possibilities had been guessed more than once.
Reversing time, immortality, eternal youth, and resurrection are basically the most speculated possibilities. Now that Jiang Hang has received confirmation from Shiho Miyano, he is not very surprised.
To Jiang Hang's surprise, Shiho Miyano was so frank about the effects of the finished product, Drug A.
For years, Conan fans have been speculating about the Black Organization's objectives and the effects of Drug A, but Shiho Miyano, after shrinking, hasn't said a word about it.
And now, she has only just been rescued from the research institute by Jiang Hang, yet she has already revealed the organization's biggest secret.
Jiang Hang thought about it for a moment. Perhaps because Shiho Miyano, who shrunk into Ai Haibara in the anime, had never felt safe after escaping from the Black Organization, and although Conan and Professor Agasa were trustworthy, she didn't think they could destroy the Black Organization, so she was unwilling to reveal these things unless necessary.
After all, according to the theory that "only half a year has passed since Conan shrunk," it's probably only been three or four months since she escaped from the Black Organization and reached the latest plot point. It's normal that she hasn't come out of the shadow of the Black Organization yet.
In addition, Conan in the manga has a kind of naive and impulsive feel to him. He doesn't usually ask her about the brewery unless he has confirmed the information. Only then will he go to her to check the answers and continue to investigate the brewery on his own.
But now that Jiang Hang has joined in, first he saved her sister, and then Jiang Hang openly rescued her from the research institute in front of Gin. In addition, Jiang Hang has the Pioneer Foundation behind him, which once made the Black Organization suffer. All of these things combined made her see the possibility of destroying the Black Organization, so she is now revealing all the organization's secrets.
"I've never met the organization's boss. People inside the organization just call him 'that man,' and he usually only uses email to communicate with members of the organization," Shiho Miyano continued, recounting the information she knew about the brewery.
"But in reality, that gentleman rarely manages the organization's internal affairs now. Apart from occasionally inquiring about drug development, most of the organization's internal affairs are now handled by the organization's second-in-command, 'Rum'."
"I've only heard rumors about that Rum, and I don't know his real identity." As she said this, Shiho Miyano shook her head slightly.
"Moreover, since I returned to Japan after studying abroad under the organization's surveillance, I have spent most of my time independently researching drugs in the research institute, so I haven't actually met many members of the organization."
Shiho Miyano's expression seemed somewhat regretful: "Gin, Vodka, Tequila, and Tokiwa are all members of the organization that you already know. Apart from them, the other members of the organization I've come into contact with are mostly combat members. I can only tell you their code names and appearances."
Chapter 172: Chapter 170: Suspicion of the Distillery
Jiang Hang did indeed obtain a considerable amount of information about the brewery from Shiho Miyano.
The code names and appearances of several combat members, as well as rumors and information about several high-ranking officials in the distillery, were also very useful to Jiang Hang and his team.
But as Shiho Miyano said, she was only in charge of drug development within the organization. In addition to drugs, the organization was also involved in software development and biotechnology.
In the area of drug development alone, there are more than a dozen different projects within the organization, and Shiho Miyano is only in charge of one of the more important ones.
“There are many drug research institutes controlled by the organization, and each of them has a different direction in drug development. Although APTX486, which I am in charge of, is a project that the organization attaches great importance to, the drug development has reached a bottleneck and it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time. Therefore, my position in the organization is actually somewhat delicate, and I do not know much about the important intelligence within the organization.”
Shiho Miyano knew about the "Frozen Age Project" and the "Life Extension Project" within the organization that were related to APTX4869, which she had developed. She also knew that the organization was researching technology to successfully revive frozen people, but she did not know the specific progress of these projects.
“I’ve heard that there are disagreements among the organization’s top brass about the organization’s future development. That gentleman is more focused on drug development and biotechnology, while the second-in-command, ‘Rum,’ is not very interested in drug development and instead values software development more… However, I don’t know what kind of program ‘Rum’ wants to develop.”
Shiho Miyano stated that she could be considered a "BOSS" within the organization, and had never interacted with the second-in-command, Rum, so she was unaware of the organization's purpose in collecting programmers from all over the world.
"Knowing enough information about so many wineries is already sufficient."
Jiang Hang wasn't greedy; at least they had a general idea of the winery's objectives in biotechnology and drug research and development.
It is still uncertain whether Karasuma Renya is the boss of the brewery, but Jiang Hang thinks the possibility is quite high.
If the brewery had already developed a life-extending drug back then, it wouldn't be unimaginable that Karasuma Renya would be 140 years old by now.
Perhaps the drug developed by the brewery could only prolong life, causing Karasuma Renya to maintain the physical condition of a centenarian. It might also have some side effects that ordinary people could not bear. That is why Karasuma Renya, who has survived to this day, attaches so much importance to Miyano Shiho's research and wants to use the finished product A drug to make his body return to its youth.
Listening to the information provided by Shiho Miyano, Jiang Hang couldn't help but have some new thoughts.
If the sole purpose was to develop "longevity drugs," would the Karasuma Group have needed to make such a huge sacrifice, nearly going bankrupt, to go from operating openly to operating covertly and establishing a criminal organization like a sake brewery?
Is it because drug development involves inhumane biochemical human experiments that Karasuma Renya made this decision?
However, considering that Karasuma Group was one of the top conglomerates in Japan back then, and the rumors he heard from Suzuki Jirokichi about Karasuma Renya's cruel nature, he felt that even without establishing a brewery, Karasuma Renya would still be willing to conduct those inhumane human experiments.
Jiang Hang felt that the reasons behind this were probably not so simple; perhaps they involved something more complex, or even something that absolutely could not be known to anyone.
These things probably can't be figured out in the short term.
After hearing that Rum might be vying for power with the Distillery's boss, he couldn't help but think to himself: With so many intelligence organizations from around the world eyeing the Distillery from the outside, and the higher-ups inside still thinking about fighting for power, it's really not easy for the Distillery to have lasted this long.
Of course, this was just a guess he made based on rumors about the organization that he heard from Shiho Miyano. Perhaps these rumors were deliberately leaked by the higher-ups at the brewery to the undercover agents within the organization.
After realizing this point, Jiang Hang decisively gave up on thinking about it further.
He didn't want to get himself involved in the game. In the end, he would have to deal with the distillery himself anyway, so he didn't care what the distillery's purpose was. He would just charge in and be done with it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hang immediately felt refreshed.
The discussion about the drugs and the distillery had pretty much fallen into a guessing game by then, and Conan went back to the Mouri Detective Agency alone, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Jiang Hang, on the other hand, stayed at Professor Agasa's house to think about what to do with Shiho Miyano afterward.
"For the time being, you will have to continue your research at Professor Agasa's lab. At the same time, your identity and appearance will need to be changed. Also, it's best not to go out during this period. The Distillery will probably be taking a lot of actions to find you."
In the original work, Shiho Miyano, after shrinking, was conducting drug research in Professor Agasa's laboratory, so of course there are no problems now.
Shiho Miyano didn't offer any opinion on this; having just left the organization, she was indeed looking for a place where she could hide herself.
With the research funding provided by Jiang Hang and the drug data he copied from the winery, Shiho Miyano's research on the antidote for Drug A will definitely be much faster than in the original work.
However, to Jiang Hang's surprise, he has changed so many things now. He originally thought that the name Ai Haibara would never be born in this world again.
However, after Shiho Miyano's own consideration and the advice of Akemi Miyano and Professor Agasa, she ultimately chose Ai Haibara as her alias.
The only twist was in the character "哀" (ai) in Ai Haibara's name. Both Akemi Miyano and Professor Agasa seemed to think that "爱" (ai) with the same pronunciation would be better, but Shiho Miyano ultimately chose the former.
However, while Shiho Miyano had the right to decide her own name, she was subject to the control of her older sister in other aspects.
Akemi Miyano is in a very good mood right now.
Since being rescued by Jiang Hang, although she has left the organization, she has been constantly worried about the safety of Shiho Miyano.
Now, her sister has been rescued by Jiang Hang and Conan. Even though there is still pressure from the organization preventing them from appearing in the sunlight, for Miyano Akemi, this is the most relaxed day of her more than 20 years of life.
She even had the mind to consider her sister's future image at this moment.
"Jiang Hangjun, come and help me choose a hairstyle and hair color for my sister. What do you think of reddish-brown hair color? Do you have any good hairstyle recommendations?"
Chapter 173: Chapter 171: The Woman Pampered by the Boss
The following day, as expected, the television station's morning news reported that a pharmaceutical company had been the site of a series of explosions the previous night, and that firefighters and medical personnel were still conducting rescue operations at the scene.
After seeing the news when he woke up in the morning, Jiang Hang muttered to himself that the winery was moving pretty fast.
What was clearly a bomb explosion was misrepresented by the brewery as an explosion caused by a researcher's mistake.
However, Jiang Hang didn't care what cost the winery had to pay to suppress the matter.
After rescuing Shiho Miyano, he prepared to avoid anything related to the brewery for the next month.
The reason is simple: his "arrogant" rescue of Shiho Miyano from the research institute was a slap in the face to the Black Organization. It would be strange if the Black Organization didn't react to this.
First of all, Shiho Miyano has already been rescued by them, and everything related to Shiho Miyano is something that the brewery needs to handle and resolve.
At the same time, in order to prevent more secrets from being leaked, the brewery will probably keep a very low profile during this period. They may also lay ambushes near the important figures or information that Shiho Miyano knows, waiting for him to take the bait.
Considering this possibility, Jiang Hang decided to wait until the winery had been abandoned for a month before making any decisions.
More than a month has passed since Jiang Hang rescued Akemi Miyano, and he has also brought Shiho Miyano out of the brewery. After investigating the brewery for so long, Jiang Hang felt as if he had completed a very difficult mission.
If Jiang Hang doesn't take some time to relax and slack off, he'll feel like he's letting himself down.
Of course, rescuing Shiho Miyano from the research institute also earned him a four-star mission reward from the system.
Jiang Hang had some reservations about the mission to rescue Shiho Miyano being rated only four stars. However, according to the system's explanation, the brewery had only sent two members, Gin and Vodka, so the mission difficulty wasn't too high. If the entire brewery's fully armed combat team had come, the mission would have been rated five stars.
After receiving the cash reward for the task, Jiang Hang's task of earning 1 billion yuan in half a month is not far from being completed. He can finish the task by working hard these next two days.
In addition, Jiang Hang also received a "bloodline enhancement" reward from the system.
After Jiang Hang transmigrated to this world, the system gave him a newbie gift pack: fluency in Italian, a set of assassin skills, and an assassin's bloodline.
It was because of this bloodline that Jiang Hang mastered the Eagle Eye ability without a teacher not long after he transmigrated to this world, and his physical fitness was also greatly enhanced.
However, after two months of continuous training, Jiang Hang felt that the rate at which his physique improved had slowed down significantly. Now that his bloodline had been strengthened again, Jiang Hang did not know how much his physique would improve after this strengthening.
But considering that the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Odyssey slashed his way from Cyclops to Medusa, cutting down almost every mythical creature in Greek mythology, Jiang Hang remained very optimistic about his future.
Jiang Hang was in a good mood, but the situation at the winery, as the "victim," was not so optimistic.
The distillery went to great lengths to cover up yesterday's explosion at the research institute.
Originally, after learning that Sherry had been kidnapped again by that "Brotherhood" whose authenticity was unknown, the organization's second-in-command, "Rum," was prepared to punish Gin and Vodka for their failed mission. However, the person in the organization stopped Rum from taking action.
According to the email sent by that gentleman, he simply asked Gin and his team to recount in detail what happened last night.
After Gin explained everything, the man simply told Gin to complete other tasks. The investigation into Sherry's whereabouts and the "Brotherhood" mission would be handled by other members of the organization.
Although he was not punished, Gin felt even greater shame after hearing that the man had handed over the task of investigating the "Brotherhood" to someone else.
He wanted to ask the man who would be investigating the "Brotherhood," but the man's orders were absolute, and no one in the organization could question them... except for the one far away in America.
Thinking of this, Gin seemed to have guessed who that man would send to investigate the Brotherhood, so he calmly told the man that he would follow his instructions.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth.
In Japan, the sun has just risen, while in the United States, the night is just beginning.
Hollywood actress Chris Vineyard has just finished filming today and is currently driving home.
In many people's eyes, Chris Vineyard is the daughter of former Oscar-winning actress Sharon Vineyard, and has inherited her mother's beauty and acting skills. At just over 20 years old, she is already a household name and has even been hailed by the American media as the strongest contender for the next Oscar for Best Actress.
Only a very few people know that her appearance has actually been the same for decades. Over the years, it seems that time has left no mark on her.
Whether it's Sharon Vineyard or the current Chris Vineyard, they are all just disguises she has created. Her real name has long been buried in the distant past, and her true identity is still an important member of the Black Organization, codenamed "Vermouth".
Just now, she received an email from "that gentleman".
After just one glance at the email, a mocking expression appeared on her face.
"You really know how to boss people around... I told you back then to just eliminate those two sisters, but you didn't agree. Now that something this big has happened, you want me to investigate...?"
Her tone suggested a dissatisfaction with "that gentleman".
In the entire organization, she was the only one who dared to say such things directly to that gentleman.
"The Hassah Brotherhood, that sounds like quite a formidable organization," Vermouth shook her head slightly, noticing the man's cautious tone towards the organization in the email.
As the woman rumored to be "favored by the BOSS" within the organization, she knew many of the organization's secrets and why that man would treat this "brotherhood," whose authenticity was uncertain, in such an attitude.
Just as she was thinking about the fraternity, her phone rang.
When Vermouth saw the identity of the person who called her, a strange smile appeared on her face.
