Mr. Smell
Case 4)]
Not to mention that Conan was on his way back to Mihua, as soon as Kaito entered the classroom, he was surrounded by students from the inner three floors and the outer three floors, even the teacher looked at him in surprise.
"Kuroba-san is also a detective?"
The faces of the students were both curious and gossip, although the school was controlled by the police just now and there was no way to go out.But they all saw it from the window!
Many people asked Kuai Dou who was the kid next to him who looked so much like him.
Kaito smiled helplessly, and answered the past with ease.
Then, he walked to his seat and sat down, pretending to take out a notebook and review it seriously.
On the other hand, Aoko Nakamori, who was sitting obliquely behind him, since Kaito returned to the classroom, she didn't gather around like her classmates, nor asked questions from a distance like the teacher, but sat silently in her seat, I don't know how to approach and say something to Kaito.
She just felt strange.
It seemed that in just a few days, that Kaito was no longer the Kaito he had known for many years.
His temperament and appearance have been overwhelmed by a huge sense of strangeness, sinking blindly, and no longer exist.
His aura was contaminated by another aura, and it surrounded him dimly.
It was a smell that she had never smelled before. It was fragrant and refreshing, and she only felt comfortable after smelling it.
She looked suspiciously at the figure of Kaito in front of him—he was lying on the desk bored as usual, and it was obvious that he was not taking notes, but was constantly drawing something on the paper, Wiped the painting, painted and wiped.
He is extremely concerned about the thing under his brush, and if his brush stroke is crooked, he will erase it and draw it again, tirelessly over and over again.
As one can imagine, for Kaito, it was a rare and serious look, as if he was practicing a very difficult magic trick.
She had seen Kaito like this too rarely, and suddenly realized that she had never really understood her childhood sweetheart, never knew what his other side would look like.
A ray of doubt flew to my heart, but there was a "Kerala" sound of cracking, even though it overflowed with a few faint traces.
In a few days and nights, the warm friendship that has lingered for many years thinned into a fragile shell, but it separated them further and further.
Aoko couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it, but she sensed it very sensitively, so she deliberately kept a distance from Kaito to avoid mutual embarrassment.
It took her a while to figure out her doubts, and then she had to talk to Kaito.
She lowered her head, stopped looking at the brown-haired figure, and randomly wrote down a few theorems and formulas in her notebook, and dismissed the class hastily.
Of course, Aoko couldn't and wouldn't see Kaito's lifelike sketches.
It was a child's face with the corners of the mouth slightly raised, eyebrows and eyes raised like sunshine, proud and bright, smiling proudly.
The most brilliant thing is the light in those eyes...
It's really like me.
Conan returned to Mihua, stayed alone in Kudo's house for two days, and then returned to Maori Detective Agency to report.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiaolan grabbed him. She checked him carefully and then complained softly, but her tone was brisk:
"Really, Conan-kun. Why would it take so long to leave without saying a word? The doctor is also, how can you let a child play games at home all day long?"
Conan blinked his eyes, and immediately turned his face full of innocence.He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"Ah, sister Xiaolan's body has recovered a long time ago... I always thought... well! Anyway, it's good to be fine, I miss sister Xiaolan very much!"
Lan Wei was stunned for a while, and a few traces of light red climbed onto her smooth cheeks.She rubbed Conan's hair and apologized:
"I really wronged Conan-kun. However, I plan to cook a table today to make up for Conan-kun. How about beef hot pot, tempura and sauced udon noodles?"
Conan nodded: "It's all right!"
She got up, and flicked her fingers to calculate the vegetables and meat to be used, whispering in her mouth while counting.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the beads of sweat on Conan's forehead from just running, so she took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped it gently for him.
What came to me was a rich, sweet and sour fragrance mixed with lily fruit and carambola, which immediately engulfed my mouth and nose.
Although it didn't smell bad, but after such a short while, some uncomfortable feelings came out.
Conan subconsciously tilted his head to give way, but he was too embarrassed to make Xiaolan's gesture stop in mid-air awkwardly, so he pretended to be sweating profusely, ran to his room with a cheer, and took out the Clean clothes got into the bathroom.
Xiaolan didn't notice anything wrong.She glanced at the hot and humid steam that was gradually coming out of the bathroom, and smiled, recalling the innocent and seemingly real appearance of the child in the water blue suit, she shook her head helplessly.
She only thought of him as a child, so she turned her back slightly, humming a tune and busying around in the kitchen.
Everything seemed to be peaceful and peaceful until night fell.
Eight forty in the morning the next day.
As usual, Conan carried his schoolbag into the classroom of Class B, the first grade of Teidan Elementary School. As soon as he sat down, other members of the Detective Boys surrounded him.
They approached one by one, each with uncontrollable joy on their faces, pretending to be mysterious and asking in unison:
"Ke~nan~jun~, do you know what the day after tomorrow is?"
This question made Conan confused. He stopped the action of sorting out his homework, and held his chin to think seriously:
"Well... the day after tomorrow is May 30th, Sunday. In another week, it will be the No.[-] Premier League No. [-] six-round match, oops...! So fast! Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United! Wait, let me write a note first."
Ayumi puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, put her hands on her hips, and corrected: "No! Conan-kun, think about it again!"
Haibara Ai at the side came in calmly, wrote "birthday" on her own desk, then bumped Conan's elbow, motioning him to look at the desk.
Conan was taken aback, "Oh~", and then said very clearly and applaudingly:
"What, it's one of you's birthdays!"
He turned his head to ask Hui Yuan Ai for news again:
"Hello, whose birthday is it? The date seems familiar."
Ayumi snapped a ticket on Conan's desk, turned around angrily and strode away, saying:
"Conan-kun is a big idiot!"
Conan spread his hands in astonishment, saying that he didn't know anything.
Mitsuhiko and Genta saw that Ayumi was angry, and they also looked angry, while trying their best to guide Conan to think about the correct answer.
Hui Yuanai rolled his eyes, and sighed softly in his heart: This person is hopeless.
It turned out that a few days ago, the young detective team suddenly remembered that Edogawa-kun's birthday would be soon.
Just in time to hear the news of discounted tickets for Guangli Zoo in the south of Mihua City, we decided to discuss tomorrow, that is, Saturday, May [-]rd, without adults, so that everyone can have a good day.
After pestering for ten minutes, until the class bell rang and had to return to his seat, Conan was let go by the two.
He lay on his desk, rubbed his buzzing ears impatiently, and sighed helplessly with his face pressed against the desk.
Hui Yuanai, who was sitting on the right, saw it, raised her slender and light-colored eyebrows, and mocked:
"Oh, it turns out that the great detective's memory is worse than that of a child."
Conan made a "cut", quoted Holmes' famous quote, and defended himself with a full posture:
"My brain is like a small empty attic. I should choose to put some things in it."
Haibara crossed his arms and patted his elbow with ease:
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about the antidote at noon. However, as it stands now, it is unnecessary. Because I am worried that these words will be regarded as useless garbage from your little attic Clean out."
After hearing this, Conan lay down on the table again with a depressed face, and vented his anger on the innocent textbooks and pens.
Sure enough, wandering outside to solve the case is the most comfortable!
The situation here is just...frustrating....
At nine o'clock in the morning on May [-]rd, in the living room on the third floor of Maori Detective Agency.
Conan was awakened by a rapid and cheerful bell.He slowly stretched out his arm from the bed, didn't bother to open his eyes, groped for a while, and finally touched the vibrating mobile phone, slid open the lock screen, and answered the call a few seconds before the ringing ended.
"Hello?"
From the other end came the shrill child's voice, mixed with many noisy background sounds, and several different voices rang together:
"Conan-kun~, where are you now? We'll be there in half an hour by bus~"
"Yes, yes, the road is unimpeded. It is indeed a wise choice to go out before there is a traffic jam."
A slightly rough voice came out, and it could be heard that it was Yuantai. He held a skeptical attitude and asked Conan on the other side who had been unable to answer for a long time:
"Hey, Conan! Don't you forget that we are going to the zoo today?!"
Conan jumped out of the bed holding the phone, and gently clamped the phone with his shoulders and cheeks, while hurriedly changing out of his pajamas.
"How could I forget it, but I encountered some small troubles when I went out, and I just finished it now."
After all, Yuantai was still a child's pure thinking, he didn't doubt the authenticity of his words, so he didn't ask further.
Hui Yuanai rested her chin, staring at the blurred scene outside the car window that was rapidly receding backwards, and bent her lips knowingly, but she didn't expose the detective's lie.
Yesterday, the two of them went to the doctor's residence after school.Haibara found a document from the bookshelf in the basement and threw it to Conan.
Conan glanced at her plain expression, opened the seal of the information bag half-hesitatingly, pulled out a piece of paper at random, stared at the black and red two-color curved and regularly changing chart printed on it, and asked puzzledly:
"What image is this?"
Hui Yuanai poured a glass of ice water for herself, and she slowly stirred the extremely cold liquid with a small porcelain spoon, as if she wanted to dissipate the chill in it into the air:
"This bag contains an overview of the secretion levels of several major types of hormones in your body. It just so happens that the one in your hand is the growth hormone. From the beginning of the antidote experiment, I will take your physiological The situation was used as a blueprint to develop an antidote to APTX-4869. After so many trials, I was able to finally sort out a decent piece of information, which is very important."
She took another piece of paper from the bag:
"I also detected your pheromone secretion level during the sensitive period, and also made a picture. You can compare the two together. Are their curve images extremely similar?"
Conan's face gradually became serious, he followed suit, then raised his head and asked:
"why is that?"
Hui Yuanai took a sip of ice water and replied:
"I originally thought that human beings have evolved to the present, and the growth hormone secreted in childhood and the hormones of the second sex antagonize each other in the endocrine organs in the body, just like insulin and glucagon, to jointly regulate the internal environment and make it stable. a relatively stable level.
But the images show that they don't actually just interact with each other; that if one is overproduced, the other must also be overproduced.
You see, they are not like one of the three circadian rhythms that the human body routinely corresponds to, but more like a joint effect.
After the normal child's growth hormone in the body should be strong to a certain level, the second body hormone that does not exist in the body is also in a correspondingly vigorous stage under the action of growth hormone, and gradually reaches the level of development of the second body .
Therefore, for people like us who have taken APTX-4869 and shrunk to infancy, after the "period", the second body hormones will drop sharply, and the growth hormone will also drop sharply, dropping to a lower level than Normal children have lower lower levels.
In other words, if we don't develop an antidote, we will never grow up.Only relying on the auxin that is exuberant in two to three days cannot supply the needs of physical growth and development. "
Conan heard her slowly finish, and suddenly became alert:
"Then, as long as the people in the Black Organization pay attention to those who have been kept in their childhood, they can easily identify the target and then hunt them down?"
Hui Yuanai swallowed another mouthful of the cool water, until the extremely low temperature froze his heart and lungs, and then calmly said:
"There is not much time left for us."
Conan was humbly asking for advice at this moment, he asked:
"Then what are the ingredients of the antidote for?"
Gray Hara said:
"The antidote is used to increase the content of auxin, not just to 'increase', to be precise, it is to promote the secretion of auxin in the growth of geometric multiples in the body's secretory organs.
At the same time, a type of B cell is generated in the body, which remembers the ingredients and effects of the antidote, and continuously produces antibodies in the body to resist the digestive juices and proteases used to swallow growth hormone.
After the antidote ingredients fail, the B-type cells will be treated as viruses and disposed of by the immune cells in the body, and the person will degenerate back to childhood. "
Conan bowed his head and thought for a while, and after a while, he thought clearly:
"No wonder, after I recovered with the antidote last time, I was in a normal cycle immediately. Then, the ingredients of the inhibitor are used to inhibit the secretion of pheromone, and at the same time inhibit the growth hormone?"
Hui Yuanai nodded, but she added from a woman's standpoint:
"Actually, auxin is also an oxidant. After accelerating growth, it also accelerates aging. There is nothing wrong with having less."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them understood at the same time, and their expressions turned pale.
Haibara Ai spoke in a daze, as if confirming to Conan:
"My parents...could it be true...that they developed a potion of immortality?"
Conan murmured with a gloomy expression:
"Huihara, I'm afraid that's really the case."
Both of them fell silent.
A gust of late cool wind slipped in through the crack of the window, blowing up the two blueprints that were placed side by side on the table showing periodic changes, causing them to fall sadly to the ground.
Hui Yuanai's heart became confused, like a TV screen with a cut-off signal, a cloth ball full of thousands of steel needles was constantly crushing the tender heart back and forth, excruciating pain, excruciating pain to the extreme.The cloth ball rubbed hard and hard again, and many cells and tissues were scattered, and a yellowish bottom liquid flowed out.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she was just trapped in the white smoke, at a loss.
Suddenly, Conan's words interrupted all her imagination.He said, "Does this drug only work on Omega?"
She returned to her senses with awe, and calmed down the monstrous waves in her heart with the help of rational knowledge in her brain:
"Maybe. The organization uses this drug very rarely, and immediately erases the victim's identity after it is used up.
However, what is certain is that the pheromones in Alpha and Beta are either opposite to the medicinal properties of this drug, or they can't play any protective role at all. The cell activity in Alpha's body is too strong, and it will fight with the ingredients in the medicine. In the end, both sides will suffer. After taking the medicine, they will definitely die, let alone Beta. "
Conan said: "Then why does Omega have the chance to change the properties of medicine?"
Based on the existing information, Huiyuan thought about it word by word:
"All unlabeled Omegas have a specific physiological cycle, and the organs that secrete pheromones will be in an excited state for a period of time. The function of APTX-4869 is to change the organs into a dormant state, and the function of the antidote is to wake them up again.
For those who survived from the drug properties of APTX, the following conditions can be summarized. "
Conan interrupted her, and then said: "First of all, it must be Omega, which has not been marked. The level of pheromone secretion in the body is just in the restless period of organ excitement."
Huiyuan nodded, agreeing.
Conan stood up from the sofa with a clear and bright smile on his face.He looked out of the window at the sky that seemed to be soaked in ink, and let the big clouds of clouds sink to the bottom of his heart with the last touch of the setting sun.
Hui Yuanai looked at him, not knowing what to feel.
She thought that the born-right detective would interpret APTX-4869 as evidence that her parents had worked for the Black Organization and worked as a minion.
She thought that her life would be so dark all the way to the end, alone with the street lamp at the end.
As Haibara Ai, instead of Miyano Shiho, the biggest difference is that Xiao Ai has many friends, and she has Dr. Ali who is better than her relatives.
None of these Chihos, Chihos are alone.
The detective in front of her seemed to have a similar fate to her, but their state of mind was completely different.
The same incognito, one lives in a persistent belief, and the other hides under a fragile and cowardly skin.
She looked at him, took him as a banner, and encouraged herself to live on, not only for her precious friends, but also for her to have a perfect ending in the future.
Hui Yuan Ai will not give up on any of her friends, she is only worried that the debt left by Zhi Liu owes her current friends.
But fortunately, her friend said:
"Your parents really are the greatest scientists of this century, and so are you."
At that moment, she was not unmoved.
A smile appeared on the light-colored lips, and it suddenly bloomed on the face.
"Thank you, Kudo."
She watched the detective in the aqua blue suit waved his back to her as a farewell, and then walked out of the doctor's residence, all the way away.
She rubbed the space between her brows, sorted out all the information on the table, and devoted herself to the research without stopping overnight.
Conan hurriedly stuffed the ticket into his pocket, grabbed the skateboard at the door and rushed into the busy street.
Even on Saturday, the roads in Tokyo are still blocked, and there are many family vehicles traveling on weekends.The most convenient route to the zoo is to take the bus, but now it seems that this choice is really unwise.
Conan originally went out later than the four of them, but relying on his fast skateboard all the way, he surpassed the long traffic flow and arrived at the zoo almost at the same time as Ayumi and the others.
He patted his bangs, which were messed up by the strong wind, and smiled at the others: "Let's go in quickly!"
On weekends, the tickets for the zoo coincided with discounts.There were so many people in the garden and it was very crowded, but it greatly aroused the excitement in the hearts of the three real children.
They cheered, and the guide map in front of the gate carefully planned the browsing route.
There are many giant balloons hanging in front of the gate of the zoo to show the celebration.They gathered in twos and threes, almost covering the huge "Guangli Zoo" sign.
Conan and Hui Yuanai stood behind them, and agreed to whatever they heard.
They didn't sleep well last night, one was because of work, and the other was trying to catch up on knowledge of physiology and pharmacology.
Originally, I wanted to find an excuse not to play, to catch up on sleep at home, but I couldn't stand the urging and invitation of the energetic children, and I was too embarrassed to brush their hearts, so I came here half-push and half-way.
"Let's go to the insect house first, then to the bird house, and finally to the aquarium!"
Ayumi loudly announced the route they had discussed for a long time, and Mitsuhiko and Genta raised their arms and shouted.
"Let's go! Conan-kun and Ai-chan!" Ayumi pulled up one and followed Genta like a gust of wind, and Mitsuhiko was holding the Polaroid at the end.
The air in the insectarium is humid and hot, which is the most suitable climate for insect breeding and growth.But today was surprisingly hot, and the children escaped after staying for a while.
Yuantai counted the coins in his palm, and decided to buy an ice cream cone from the nearby stall.
Ayumi handed him a banknote, and asked, "Please Yuan Taijun also bring me one, I want strawberry flavor."
Mitsuhiko plans to go with Yuantai: "I will buy it too, the green apple flavor seems delicious."
Yuan Tai readily agreed, and asked the last two in the detective team: "Conan! Huiyuan! Do you want it?"
Hui Yuanai turned her head to the side, nodded and said, "Then it will be vanilla."
She looked at Conan, who had lost interest, and said softly, "You're trying to put on a perfunctory look?"
"Ah..." Conan put his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought of someone for no reason.
"I want...chocolate."
As soon as the words came out, the other four people looked at him in surprise.
Ayumi turned her face and asked curiously, "Huh? I thought Conan-kun didn't like desserts."
Haibara Ai quickly reacted, imitating Ayumi's tone, teasing Conan who had just recovered:
"Huh? It still tastes like chocolate."
Conan blinked, smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, then waved his hand and said, "Then you don't have to buy it..."
Ayumi pointed at the backs of the two men: "But they have already bought it."
Conan sighed feebly, and frowned in disgust as if something bad had happened to him.
Chocolatey, chocolatey.
It can be called one of the sweetest and most mellow flavors of all flavors.
It's like that magical smell.
It will always climb up the exposed skin one after another, along the mouth and nose that has been wrapped many times, and melt all the reason in the mind continuously until it is exhausted.
"You're so annoying, Kaito Kuroba."
He complained very low, took the ice cream he just held in his hand as a handsome face, and swallowed most of it in one gulp.
After a temporary rest, the group hurried to the bird house.
As soon as the glass door of the building was pushed open, many crisp birdsong came from the distant woods and the bottom of the leaves.The further you walk in, the more you can hear the chirping calls inside like torrential rain.
"Wow! What kind of bird is that bird with such a long tail!!" Guangyan stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's more than ten meters long!"
The children were small, and most of their sight was covered by the crowd, so they couldn't see the introduction board hanging outside the birdcage.
The tour guide heard his shout, bent down gently, supported her knees and looked at Mitsuhiko and said:
"That's a long-tailed chicken bred by our country's technicians through crossbreeding. If it stands on the fourth floor, its tail can be dragged to the ground."
"Amazing!"
Ayumi lay on the side of the cage, leaning in to see the long-tailed chicken slowly combing its back with its beak. She frowned, shook her head and said, "However, it is also very pitiful."
Everyone looked at her: "Why do you say that?"
There was a naive but serious expression on her face:
"Think about it, with such a long tail feather, it must be inconvenient to move around. Just like a person who has long, long braids, eating, sleeping, or bathing are very troublesome."
She refused to stand in front of this cage any longer and walked away.
Genta touched the alopecia areata on his head suspiciously, not quite understanding Ayumi's meaning.So, shrugging his shoulders, he followed Ayumi forward, and so did Mitsuhiko.
Hui Yuanai took another look at the long-tailed hen in the cage with astonishingly long tail feathers, and sighed, whether it was it or her:
"It turns out that being obsessed with making appearances is also an extremely cruel thing."
Conan heard her words implying something else, so he couldn't help turning his head and said to her: "At this moment, no one is talking about you, don't think too much."
Hui Yuanai pretended nothing happened, and hid all his emotions behind his light-colored pupils, and he hid them so well.
"Eh? Did I say what other people said about me? The detective's heart is more subtle than others."
Conan made a "cut", said "hard mouth", and ran into the depths of the bird house.
Going in, it is a bird that lives in the tropics.
On the left are basically birds introduced from the subtropics or near the equator, such as peacocks and parrots.
On the left are birds that live in dry tropical monsoon or desert climates, such as ostriches and African weavers.
The three children stopped and watched in front of the largest glass cage at the peacock, and saw two green ones and one white peacock inside, a total of four peacocks.
They are all males, their feathers and the feather screens behind them are extremely graceful and dazzling in color, shimmering slightly under the light golden sunlight.
Among them, three walked proudly in the courtyard, opened their tails to the tourists outside the glass cage from time to time, and shook the most beautiful feathers in the center of their tails.
Their vanity is very strong, and they will face wherever the flashing light is brightest. At the end, they will scream "Ang!" and flap their tails.
The snow-white peacock looked the most arrogant, unlike the other three peacocks walking around on the ground.
It just stopped on a high stand, let its beautiful and beautiful tail feathers drag down, neither opened its tail nor tweeted, just looked at the tourists with a pair of obsidian-like eyes, and then tilted its head, very disdainful of its kind. A gesture of human vying to please.
Its fur is so white all over, and it is so abrupt, dazzling, and high up among the mottled green trees.
Even the high tail feathers of the same kind have never captured half of the attention of tourists.
"Wow! It's really beautiful!"
Bumera pulled the partner beside her, excitedly jumping and pointing to the white peacock:
"Look! There is a bright red outline around the eye patterns on its tail! It's different from the golden outlines below, so special!"
Well...it's quite special...
In particular, he likes to stand on high places, likes to look down on the crowd, and is dressed in white. He really is exactly like someone.
Similarly, it is also very similar to the arrogance that likes to be independent, and uses another way to show off its ability to be superior to others.
Conan stood in front of the glass cage, silently crossing his arms and lost in thought.
After a while, I suddenly heard Genta and Ayumi shouting in surprise, Mitsuhiko also exclaimed, and even Haibara Ai raised his eyes in surprise.
It turned out that the white peacock flew down, gracefully swept across a large lake in the cage, and flew to the glass, embracing the eyes of all tourists.
It got closer to the Detective Boys, so close that it could poke the glass with its beak.
Dongdong Two dull knocking sounds came, and they rang in my ears against the law.
Conan broke away from his thoughts, surprised at how this silly white bird flew down again all of a sudden.
It tilted its head, and suddenly let out an extremely clear and loud cry, flapped its wings again, and lifted the feather screen behind it high.
"Wow! Finally!" These are the words in the hearts of all tourists.
There were applause and whistles coming from behind the glass cover, which still didn't scare off the peacock.It still displayed its proud and beautiful tail feathers calmly and perfectly.
For a moment, even the breeder who usually raises peacocks wondered: This white peacock is usually the most stinky and arrogant, and he doesn't listen to anyone except the high school student who often comes.
The highest-grade peacock food is just a few pecks as if it is a face, and the three peacocks have always given way to it, and it has never been seen to be nice to humans or females. Why did it open its tail all of a sudden?
Suddenly, there was a sharp cry from the ostrich house opposite, and it was clear that it was a human cry.
The people around here became curious and went to the ostrich house one after another.
Conan had a bad premonition, and just wanted to leave with the crowd.Suddenly, I saw the white peacock jump impatiently on the railing a few times, let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and began to scratch the thick glass with its paws.
Conan was taken aback by its movement, and even stopped in his tracks.
He squinted at the white peacock, which also tilted its crown innocently at him.
After a while, the white peacock uttered two low calls of "woo woo", then spread its wings and flew back to the original high position, looking down at him.
Conan pouted, turned and ran towards the source of the sound.
He rushed over and managed to get a clear view of the scene in the ostrich house through the gap between the arms of the crowd.
Near the back of the rockery placed in the cage, two pure black ostriches that had just been airlifted from South Africa fell into a dark blood color and wailed faintly.What's even more frightening is that the prisoner cut open their bellies, most of the bright red blood and dark organs and tissues leaked out, and a large piece of feathers were messy and tangled together, which made people feel extremely cruel.
As the air flowed, there was a haggard breath of death, and many tourists who came to watch the fun were frightened and stunned unpreparedly, feeling sick for a while.Some elderly parents reacted quickly, comforting the screaming children, covering their eyes with their palms.
"Go away! Don't look, it's really terrible."
The crowd "hula" was washed away by a huge gap, and most of them chose to leave the bird hall. The staff held small flags and directed the tourists to leave in an orderly manner, but they were a little panicked and stagnant in their actions. .
Ayumi yelled out loudly, firmly grasping the hands of Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko who were beside her:
"It's so cruel...they are so pitiful..."
Conan stepped forward, and accidentally saw an inconspicuous, diamond-shaped, rough-edged breach on the glass cover used to block tourists. There was a bullet casing on the sand not far from the glass cover, and Two empty syringes scattered in different places.
He found no obvious fingerprints on the glass cover, nor did he find any further clues.
He closed his eyes and meditated, drawing some scenes in his mind based on all the clues on the scene.
Taking advantage of the large number of people, the murderer mingled among the crowd, first used a vise to cut off the barbed wire closely connected with the glass cover at the corner, and then used a gun to pierce a moderately sized hole in the glass cover for the syringe. □□Access to the museum.
Finally, pretending to be a staff member in the museum, he entered the glass cover, pulled the anesthetized ostrich to the rockery as a cover, quickly cut open the ostrich's belly, and left.
Conan guessed like this, but he still didn't understand the murderer's motive for committing the crime.
Why... two ostriches were treated by disembowelment?
Is it to get something from the body of the ostrich?
He clicked his tongue and scratched his hair in distress.
The ostrich is the fastest running bird in the world. When it encounters danger, it will bury its head in the sand, also known as the ostrich spirit.
What will be in its body?
An ostrich is not a palm bear, nor is it an elk.They have no organs and secretions of any medicinal value.
Then why did the murderer choose to have a caesarean section-this risky and difficult method?
In the distance, the staff in the venue were quickly assembled by the foreman to deal with the bodies of the two ostriches separately.
The dejected roar of the person in charge can be heard from such a long distance:
"How do you take care of them?!! These two genetically mutated ostriches were bought by us for nearly 40 yen!!! How can you say that they are gone?! They even appeared under the noses of tourists in the garden. Such a thing!! Who takes care of these ostriches?! Do you want a job?!!”
Two men with peaked caps and light green overalls bowed their heads and silently took a step forward, bowing their heads and admitting their mistake:
"I'm sorry, this is our negligence. When the two ostriches were just delivered this morning, everything was normal except for poor digestion! We went to the veterinarian in the park to discuss giving them medicine, but we still haven't found them. Something happened to the doctor! I'm really sorry!"
The person in charge softened his tone when he heard this, but his face was still ashen with anger:
"Is this something that can be done with a few words of sorry?! You pack up and leave quickly!! This zoo doesn't need employees like you!!"
"Wait a minute
"Kuroba-san is also a detective?"
The faces of the students were both curious and gossip, although the school was controlled by the police just now and there was no way to go out.But they all saw it from the window!
Many people asked Kuai Dou who was the kid next to him who looked so much like him.
Kaito smiled helplessly, and answered the past with ease.
Then, he walked to his seat and sat down, pretending to take out a notebook and review it seriously.
On the other hand, Aoko Nakamori, who was sitting obliquely behind him, since Kaito returned to the classroom, she didn't gather around like her classmates, nor asked questions from a distance like the teacher, but sat silently in her seat, I don't know how to approach and say something to Kaito.
She just felt strange.
It seemed that in just a few days, that Kaito was no longer the Kaito he had known for many years.
His temperament and appearance have been overwhelmed by a huge sense of strangeness, sinking blindly, and no longer exist.
His aura was contaminated by another aura, and it surrounded him dimly.
It was a smell that she had never smelled before. It was fragrant and refreshing, and she only felt comfortable after smelling it.
She looked suspiciously at the figure of Kaito in front of him—he was lying on the desk bored as usual, and it was obvious that he was not taking notes, but was constantly drawing something on the paper, Wiped the painting, painted and wiped.
He is extremely concerned about the thing under his brush, and if his brush stroke is crooked, he will erase it and draw it again, tirelessly over and over again.
As one can imagine, for Kaito, it was a rare and serious look, as if he was practicing a very difficult magic trick.
She had seen Kaito like this too rarely, and suddenly realized that she had never really understood her childhood sweetheart, never knew what his other side would look like.
A ray of doubt flew to my heart, but there was a "Kerala" sound of cracking, even though it overflowed with a few faint traces.
In a few days and nights, the warm friendship that has lingered for many years thinned into a fragile shell, but it separated them further and further.
Aoko couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it, but she sensed it very sensitively, so she deliberately kept a distance from Kaito to avoid mutual embarrassment.
It took her a while to figure out her doubts, and then she had to talk to Kaito.
She lowered her head, stopped looking at the brown-haired figure, and randomly wrote down a few theorems and formulas in her notebook, and dismissed the class hastily.
Of course, Aoko couldn't and wouldn't see Kaito's lifelike sketches.
It was a child's face with the corners of the mouth slightly raised, eyebrows and eyes raised like sunshine, proud and bright, smiling proudly.
The most brilliant thing is the light in those eyes...
It's really like me.
Conan returned to Mihua, stayed alone in Kudo's house for two days, and then returned to Maori Detective Agency to report.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiaolan grabbed him. She checked him carefully and then complained softly, but her tone was brisk:
"Really, Conan-kun. Why would it take so long to leave without saying a word? The doctor is also, how can you let a child play games at home all day long?"
Conan blinked his eyes, and immediately turned his face full of innocence.He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"Ah, sister Xiaolan's body has recovered a long time ago... I always thought... well! Anyway, it's good to be fine, I miss sister Xiaolan very much!"
Lan Wei was stunned for a while, and a few traces of light red climbed onto her smooth cheeks.She rubbed Conan's hair and apologized:
"I really wronged Conan-kun. However, I plan to cook a table today to make up for Conan-kun. How about beef hot pot, tempura and sauced udon noodles?"
Conan nodded: "It's all right!"
She got up, and flicked her fingers to calculate the vegetables and meat to be used, whispering in her mouth while counting.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the beads of sweat on Conan's forehead from just running, so she took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped it gently for him.
What came to me was a rich, sweet and sour fragrance mixed with lily fruit and carambola, which immediately engulfed my mouth and nose.
Although it didn't smell bad, but after such a short while, some uncomfortable feelings came out.
Conan subconsciously tilted his head to give way, but he was too embarrassed to make Xiaolan's gesture stop in mid-air awkwardly, so he pretended to be sweating profusely, ran to his room with a cheer, and took out the Clean clothes got into the bathroom.
Xiaolan didn't notice anything wrong.She glanced at the hot and humid steam that was gradually coming out of the bathroom, and smiled, recalling the innocent and seemingly real appearance of the child in the water blue suit, she shook her head helplessly.
She only thought of him as a child, so she turned her back slightly, humming a tune and busying around in the kitchen.
Everything seemed to be peaceful and peaceful until night fell.
Eight forty in the morning the next day.
As usual, Conan carried his schoolbag into the classroom of Class B, the first grade of Teidan Elementary School. As soon as he sat down, other members of the Detective Boys surrounded him.
They approached one by one, each with uncontrollable joy on their faces, pretending to be mysterious and asking in unison:
"Ke~nan~jun~, do you know what the day after tomorrow is?"
This question made Conan confused. He stopped the action of sorting out his homework, and held his chin to think seriously:
"Well... the day after tomorrow is May 30th, Sunday. In another week, it will be the No.[-] Premier League No. [-] six-round match, oops...! So fast! Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United! Wait, let me write a note first."
Ayumi puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, put her hands on her hips, and corrected: "No! Conan-kun, think about it again!"
Haibara Ai at the side came in calmly, wrote "birthday" on her own desk, then bumped Conan's elbow, motioning him to look at the desk.
Conan was taken aback, "Oh~", and then said very clearly and applaudingly:
"What, it's one of you's birthdays!"
He turned his head to ask Hui Yuan Ai for news again:
"Hello, whose birthday is it? The date seems familiar."
Ayumi snapped a ticket on Conan's desk, turned around angrily and strode away, saying:
"Conan-kun is a big idiot!"
Conan spread his hands in astonishment, saying that he didn't know anything.
Mitsuhiko and Genta saw that Ayumi was angry, and they also looked angry, while trying their best to guide Conan to think about the correct answer.
Hui Yuanai rolled his eyes, and sighed softly in his heart: This person is hopeless.
It turned out that a few days ago, the young detective team suddenly remembered that Edogawa-kun's birthday would be soon.
Just in time to hear the news of discounted tickets for Guangli Zoo in the south of Mihua City, we decided to discuss tomorrow, that is, Saturday, May [-]rd, without adults, so that everyone can have a good day.
After pestering for ten minutes, until the class bell rang and had to return to his seat, Conan was let go by the two.
He lay on his desk, rubbed his buzzing ears impatiently, and sighed helplessly with his face pressed against the desk.
Hui Yuanai, who was sitting on the right, saw it, raised her slender and light-colored eyebrows, and mocked:
"Oh, it turns out that the great detective's memory is worse than that of a child."
Conan made a "cut", quoted Holmes' famous quote, and defended himself with a full posture:
"My brain is like a small empty attic. I should choose to put some things in it."
Haibara crossed his arms and patted his elbow with ease:
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about the antidote at noon. However, as it stands now, it is unnecessary. Because I am worried that these words will be regarded as useless garbage from your little attic Clean out."
After hearing this, Conan lay down on the table again with a depressed face, and vented his anger on the innocent textbooks and pens.
Sure enough, wandering outside to solve the case is the most comfortable!
The situation here is just...frustrating....
At nine o'clock in the morning on May [-]rd, in the living room on the third floor of Maori Detective Agency.
Conan was awakened by a rapid and cheerful bell.He slowly stretched out his arm from the bed, didn't bother to open his eyes, groped for a while, and finally touched the vibrating mobile phone, slid open the lock screen, and answered the call a few seconds before the ringing ended.
"Hello?"
From the other end came the shrill child's voice, mixed with many noisy background sounds, and several different voices rang together:
"Conan-kun~, where are you now? We'll be there in half an hour by bus~"
"Yes, yes, the road is unimpeded. It is indeed a wise choice to go out before there is a traffic jam."
A slightly rough voice came out, and it could be heard that it was Yuantai. He held a skeptical attitude and asked Conan on the other side who had been unable to answer for a long time:
"Hey, Conan! Don't you forget that we are going to the zoo today?!"
Conan jumped out of the bed holding the phone, and gently clamped the phone with his shoulders and cheeks, while hurriedly changing out of his pajamas.
"How could I forget it, but I encountered some small troubles when I went out, and I just finished it now."
After all, Yuantai was still a child's pure thinking, he didn't doubt the authenticity of his words, so he didn't ask further.
Hui Yuanai rested her chin, staring at the blurred scene outside the car window that was rapidly receding backwards, and bent her lips knowingly, but she didn't expose the detective's lie.
Yesterday, the two of them went to the doctor's residence after school.Haibara found a document from the bookshelf in the basement and threw it to Conan.
Conan glanced at her plain expression, opened the seal of the information bag half-hesitatingly, pulled out a piece of paper at random, stared at the black and red two-color curved and regularly changing chart printed on it, and asked puzzledly:
"What image is this?"
Hui Yuanai poured a glass of ice water for herself, and she slowly stirred the extremely cold liquid with a small porcelain spoon, as if she wanted to dissipate the chill in it into the air:
"This bag contains an overview of the secretion levels of several major types of hormones in your body. It just so happens that the one in your hand is the growth hormone. From the beginning of the antidote experiment, I will take your physiological The situation was used as a blueprint to develop an antidote to APTX-4869. After so many trials, I was able to finally sort out a decent piece of information, which is very important."
She took another piece of paper from the bag:
"I also detected your pheromone secretion level during the sensitive period, and also made a picture. You can compare the two together. Are their curve images extremely similar?"
Conan's face gradually became serious, he followed suit, then raised his head and asked:
"why is that?"
Hui Yuanai took a sip of ice water and replied:
"I originally thought that human beings have evolved to the present, and the growth hormone secreted in childhood and the hormones of the second sex antagonize each other in the endocrine organs in the body, just like insulin and glucagon, to jointly regulate the internal environment and make it stable. a relatively stable level.
But the images show that they don't actually just interact with each other; that if one is overproduced, the other must also be overproduced.
You see, they are not like one of the three circadian rhythms that the human body routinely corresponds to, but more like a joint effect.
After the normal child's growth hormone in the body should be strong to a certain level, the second body hormone that does not exist in the body is also in a correspondingly vigorous stage under the action of growth hormone, and gradually reaches the level of development of the second body .
Therefore, for people like us who have taken APTX-4869 and shrunk to infancy, after the "period", the second body hormones will drop sharply, and the growth hormone will also drop sharply, dropping to a lower level than Normal children have lower lower levels.
In other words, if we don't develop an antidote, we will never grow up.Only relying on the auxin that is exuberant in two to three days cannot supply the needs of physical growth and development. "
Conan heard her slowly finish, and suddenly became alert:
"Then, as long as the people in the Black Organization pay attention to those who have been kept in their childhood, they can easily identify the target and then hunt them down?"
Hui Yuanai swallowed another mouthful of the cool water, until the extremely low temperature froze his heart and lungs, and then calmly said:
"There is not much time left for us."
Conan was humbly asking for advice at this moment, he asked:
"Then what are the ingredients of the antidote for?"
Gray Hara said:
"The antidote is used to increase the content of auxin, not just to 'increase', to be precise, it is to promote the secretion of auxin in the growth of geometric multiples in the body's secretory organs.
At the same time, a type of B cell is generated in the body, which remembers the ingredients and effects of the antidote, and continuously produces antibodies in the body to resist the digestive juices and proteases used to swallow growth hormone.
After the antidote ingredients fail, the B-type cells will be treated as viruses and disposed of by the immune cells in the body, and the person will degenerate back to childhood. "
Conan bowed his head and thought for a while, and after a while, he thought clearly:
"No wonder, after I recovered with the antidote last time, I was in a normal cycle immediately. Then, the ingredients of the inhibitor are used to inhibit the secretion of pheromone, and at the same time inhibit the growth hormone?"
Hui Yuanai nodded, but she added from a woman's standpoint:
"Actually, auxin is also an oxidant. After accelerating growth, it also accelerates aging. There is nothing wrong with having less."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them understood at the same time, and their expressions turned pale.
Haibara Ai spoke in a daze, as if confirming to Conan:
"My parents...could it be true...that they developed a potion of immortality?"
Conan murmured with a gloomy expression:
"Huihara, I'm afraid that's really the case."
Both of them fell silent.
A gust of late cool wind slipped in through the crack of the window, blowing up the two blueprints that were placed side by side on the table showing periodic changes, causing them to fall sadly to the ground.
Hui Yuanai's heart became confused, like a TV screen with a cut-off signal, a cloth ball full of thousands of steel needles was constantly crushing the tender heart back and forth, excruciating pain, excruciating pain to the extreme.The cloth ball rubbed hard and hard again, and many cells and tissues were scattered, and a yellowish bottom liquid flowed out.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she was just trapped in the white smoke, at a loss.
Suddenly, Conan's words interrupted all her imagination.He said, "Does this drug only work on Omega?"
She returned to her senses with awe, and calmed down the monstrous waves in her heart with the help of rational knowledge in her brain:
"Maybe. The organization uses this drug very rarely, and immediately erases the victim's identity after it is used up.
However, what is certain is that the pheromones in Alpha and Beta are either opposite to the medicinal properties of this drug, or they can't play any protective role at all. The cell activity in Alpha's body is too strong, and it will fight with the ingredients in the medicine. In the end, both sides will suffer. After taking the medicine, they will definitely die, let alone Beta. "
Conan said: "Then why does Omega have the chance to change the properties of medicine?"
Based on the existing information, Huiyuan thought about it word by word:
"All unlabeled Omegas have a specific physiological cycle, and the organs that secrete pheromones will be in an excited state for a period of time. The function of APTX-4869 is to change the organs into a dormant state, and the function of the antidote is to wake them up again.
For those who survived from the drug properties of APTX, the following conditions can be summarized. "
Conan interrupted her, and then said: "First of all, it must be Omega, which has not been marked. The level of pheromone secretion in the body is just in the restless period of organ excitement."
Huiyuan nodded, agreeing.
Conan stood up from the sofa with a clear and bright smile on his face.He looked out of the window at the sky that seemed to be soaked in ink, and let the big clouds of clouds sink to the bottom of his heart with the last touch of the setting sun.
Hui Yuanai looked at him, not knowing what to feel.
She thought that the born-right detective would interpret APTX-4869 as evidence that her parents had worked for the Black Organization and worked as a minion.
She thought that her life would be so dark all the way to the end, alone with the street lamp at the end.
As Haibara Ai, instead of Miyano Shiho, the biggest difference is that Xiao Ai has many friends, and she has Dr. Ali who is better than her relatives.
None of these Chihos, Chihos are alone.
The detective in front of her seemed to have a similar fate to her, but their state of mind was completely different.
The same incognito, one lives in a persistent belief, and the other hides under a fragile and cowardly skin.
She looked at him, took him as a banner, and encouraged herself to live on, not only for her precious friends, but also for her to have a perfect ending in the future.
Hui Yuan Ai will not give up on any of her friends, she is only worried that the debt left by Zhi Liu owes her current friends.
But fortunately, her friend said:
"Your parents really are the greatest scientists of this century, and so are you."
At that moment, she was not unmoved.
A smile appeared on the light-colored lips, and it suddenly bloomed on the face.
"Thank you, Kudo."
She watched the detective in the aqua blue suit waved his back to her as a farewell, and then walked out of the doctor's residence, all the way away.
She rubbed the space between her brows, sorted out all the information on the table, and devoted herself to the research without stopping overnight.
Conan hurriedly stuffed the ticket into his pocket, grabbed the skateboard at the door and rushed into the busy street.
Even on Saturday, the roads in Tokyo are still blocked, and there are many family vehicles traveling on weekends.The most convenient route to the zoo is to take the bus, but now it seems that this choice is really unwise.
Conan originally went out later than the four of them, but relying on his fast skateboard all the way, he surpassed the long traffic flow and arrived at the zoo almost at the same time as Ayumi and the others.
He patted his bangs, which were messed up by the strong wind, and smiled at the others: "Let's go in quickly!"
On weekends, the tickets for the zoo coincided with discounts.There were so many people in the garden and it was very crowded, but it greatly aroused the excitement in the hearts of the three real children.
They cheered, and the guide map in front of the gate carefully planned the browsing route.
There are many giant balloons hanging in front of the gate of the zoo to show the celebration.They gathered in twos and threes, almost covering the huge "Guangli Zoo" sign.
Conan and Hui Yuanai stood behind them, and agreed to whatever they heard.
They didn't sleep well last night, one was because of work, and the other was trying to catch up on knowledge of physiology and pharmacology.
Originally, I wanted to find an excuse not to play, to catch up on sleep at home, but I couldn't stand the urging and invitation of the energetic children, and I was too embarrassed to brush their hearts, so I came here half-push and half-way.
"Let's go to the insect house first, then to the bird house, and finally to the aquarium!"
Ayumi loudly announced the route they had discussed for a long time, and Mitsuhiko and Genta raised their arms and shouted.
"Let's go! Conan-kun and Ai-chan!" Ayumi pulled up one and followed Genta like a gust of wind, and Mitsuhiko was holding the Polaroid at the end.
The air in the insectarium is humid and hot, which is the most suitable climate for insect breeding and growth.But today was surprisingly hot, and the children escaped after staying for a while.
Yuantai counted the coins in his palm, and decided to buy an ice cream cone from the nearby stall.
Ayumi handed him a banknote, and asked, "Please Yuan Taijun also bring me one, I want strawberry flavor."
Mitsuhiko plans to go with Yuantai: "I will buy it too, the green apple flavor seems delicious."
Yuan Tai readily agreed, and asked the last two in the detective team: "Conan! Huiyuan! Do you want it?"
Hui Yuanai turned her head to the side, nodded and said, "Then it will be vanilla."
She looked at Conan, who had lost interest, and said softly, "You're trying to put on a perfunctory look?"
"Ah..." Conan put his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought of someone for no reason.
"I want...chocolate."
As soon as the words came out, the other four people looked at him in surprise.
Ayumi turned her face and asked curiously, "Huh? I thought Conan-kun didn't like desserts."
Haibara Ai quickly reacted, imitating Ayumi's tone, teasing Conan who had just recovered:
"Huh? It still tastes like chocolate."
Conan blinked, smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, then waved his hand and said, "Then you don't have to buy it..."
Ayumi pointed at the backs of the two men: "But they have already bought it."
Conan sighed feebly, and frowned in disgust as if something bad had happened to him.
Chocolatey, chocolatey.
It can be called one of the sweetest and most mellow flavors of all flavors.
It's like that magical smell.
It will always climb up the exposed skin one after another, along the mouth and nose that has been wrapped many times, and melt all the reason in the mind continuously until it is exhausted.
"You're so annoying, Kaito Kuroba."
He complained very low, took the ice cream he just held in his hand as a handsome face, and swallowed most of it in one gulp.
After a temporary rest, the group hurried to the bird house.
As soon as the glass door of the building was pushed open, many crisp birdsong came from the distant woods and the bottom of the leaves.The further you walk in, the more you can hear the chirping calls inside like torrential rain.
"Wow! What kind of bird is that bird with such a long tail!!" Guangyan stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's more than ten meters long!"
The children were small, and most of their sight was covered by the crowd, so they couldn't see the introduction board hanging outside the birdcage.
The tour guide heard his shout, bent down gently, supported her knees and looked at Mitsuhiko and said:
"That's a long-tailed chicken bred by our country's technicians through crossbreeding. If it stands on the fourth floor, its tail can be dragged to the ground."
"Amazing!"
Ayumi lay on the side of the cage, leaning in to see the long-tailed chicken slowly combing its back with its beak. She frowned, shook her head and said, "However, it is also very pitiful."
Everyone looked at her: "Why do you say that?"
There was a naive but serious expression on her face:
"Think about it, with such a long tail feather, it must be inconvenient to move around. Just like a person who has long, long braids, eating, sleeping, or bathing are very troublesome."
She refused to stand in front of this cage any longer and walked away.
Genta touched the alopecia areata on his head suspiciously, not quite understanding Ayumi's meaning.So, shrugging his shoulders, he followed Ayumi forward, and so did Mitsuhiko.
Hui Yuanai took another look at the long-tailed hen in the cage with astonishingly long tail feathers, and sighed, whether it was it or her:
"It turns out that being obsessed with making appearances is also an extremely cruel thing."
Conan heard her words implying something else, so he couldn't help turning his head and said to her: "At this moment, no one is talking about you, don't think too much."
Hui Yuanai pretended nothing happened, and hid all his emotions behind his light-colored pupils, and he hid them so well.
"Eh? Did I say what other people said about me? The detective's heart is more subtle than others."
Conan made a "cut", said "hard mouth", and ran into the depths of the bird house.
Going in, it is a bird that lives in the tropics.
On the left are basically birds introduced from the subtropics or near the equator, such as peacocks and parrots.
On the left are birds that live in dry tropical monsoon or desert climates, such as ostriches and African weavers.
The three children stopped and watched in front of the largest glass cage at the peacock, and saw two green ones and one white peacock inside, a total of four peacocks.
They are all males, their feathers and the feather screens behind them are extremely graceful and dazzling in color, shimmering slightly under the light golden sunlight.
Among them, three walked proudly in the courtyard, opened their tails to the tourists outside the glass cage from time to time, and shook the most beautiful feathers in the center of their tails.
Their vanity is very strong, and they will face wherever the flashing light is brightest. At the end, they will scream "Ang!" and flap their tails.
The snow-white peacock looked the most arrogant, unlike the other three peacocks walking around on the ground.
It just stopped on a high stand, let its beautiful and beautiful tail feathers drag down, neither opened its tail nor tweeted, just looked at the tourists with a pair of obsidian-like eyes, and then tilted its head, very disdainful of its kind. A gesture of human vying to please.
Its fur is so white all over, and it is so abrupt, dazzling, and high up among the mottled green trees.
Even the high tail feathers of the same kind have never captured half of the attention of tourists.
"Wow! It's really beautiful!"
Bumera pulled the partner beside her, excitedly jumping and pointing to the white peacock:
"Look! There is a bright red outline around the eye patterns on its tail! It's different from the golden outlines below, so special!"
Well...it's quite special...
In particular, he likes to stand on high places, likes to look down on the crowd, and is dressed in white. He really is exactly like someone.
Similarly, it is also very similar to the arrogance that likes to be independent, and uses another way to show off its ability to be superior to others.
Conan stood in front of the glass cage, silently crossing his arms and lost in thought.
After a while, I suddenly heard Genta and Ayumi shouting in surprise, Mitsuhiko also exclaimed, and even Haibara Ai raised his eyes in surprise.
It turned out that the white peacock flew down, gracefully swept across a large lake in the cage, and flew to the glass, embracing the eyes of all tourists.
It got closer to the Detective Boys, so close that it could poke the glass with its beak.
Dongdong Two dull knocking sounds came, and they rang in my ears against the law.
Conan broke away from his thoughts, surprised at how this silly white bird flew down again all of a sudden.
It tilted its head, and suddenly let out an extremely clear and loud cry, flapped its wings again, and lifted the feather screen behind it high.
"Wow! Finally!" These are the words in the hearts of all tourists.
There were applause and whistles coming from behind the glass cover, which still didn't scare off the peacock.It still displayed its proud and beautiful tail feathers calmly and perfectly.
For a moment, even the breeder who usually raises peacocks wondered: This white peacock is usually the most stinky and arrogant, and he doesn't listen to anyone except the high school student who often comes.
The highest-grade peacock food is just a few pecks as if it is a face, and the three peacocks have always given way to it, and it has never been seen to be nice to humans or females. Why did it open its tail all of a sudden?
Suddenly, there was a sharp cry from the ostrich house opposite, and it was clear that it was a human cry.
The people around here became curious and went to the ostrich house one after another.
Conan had a bad premonition, and just wanted to leave with the crowd.Suddenly, I saw the white peacock jump impatiently on the railing a few times, let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and began to scratch the thick glass with its paws.
Conan was taken aback by its movement, and even stopped in his tracks.
He squinted at the white peacock, which also tilted its crown innocently at him.
After a while, the white peacock uttered two low calls of "woo woo", then spread its wings and flew back to the original high position, looking down at him.
Conan pouted, turned and ran towards the source of the sound.
He rushed over and managed to get a clear view of the scene in the ostrich house through the gap between the arms of the crowd.
Near the back of the rockery placed in the cage, two pure black ostriches that had just been airlifted from South Africa fell into a dark blood color and wailed faintly.What's even more frightening is that the prisoner cut open their bellies, most of the bright red blood and dark organs and tissues leaked out, and a large piece of feathers were messy and tangled together, which made people feel extremely cruel.
As the air flowed, there was a haggard breath of death, and many tourists who came to watch the fun were frightened and stunned unpreparedly, feeling sick for a while.Some elderly parents reacted quickly, comforting the screaming children, covering their eyes with their palms.
"Go away! Don't look, it's really terrible."
The crowd "hula" was washed away by a huge gap, and most of them chose to leave the bird hall. The staff held small flags and directed the tourists to leave in an orderly manner, but they were a little panicked and stagnant in their actions. .
Ayumi yelled out loudly, firmly grasping the hands of Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko who were beside her:
"It's so cruel...they are so pitiful..."
Conan stepped forward, and accidentally saw an inconspicuous, diamond-shaped, rough-edged breach on the glass cover used to block tourists. There was a bullet casing on the sand not far from the glass cover, and Two empty syringes scattered in different places.
He found no obvious fingerprints on the glass cover, nor did he find any further clues.
He closed his eyes and meditated, drawing some scenes in his mind based on all the clues on the scene.
Taking advantage of the large number of people, the murderer mingled among the crowd, first used a vise to cut off the barbed wire closely connected with the glass cover at the corner, and then used a gun to pierce a moderately sized hole in the glass cover for the syringe. □□Access to the museum.
Finally, pretending to be a staff member in the museum, he entered the glass cover, pulled the anesthetized ostrich to the rockery as a cover, quickly cut open the ostrich's belly, and left.
Conan guessed like this, but he still didn't understand the murderer's motive for committing the crime.
Why... two ostriches were treated by disembowelment?
Is it to get something from the body of the ostrich?
He clicked his tongue and scratched his hair in distress.
The ostrich is the fastest running bird in the world. When it encounters danger, it will bury its head in the sand, also known as the ostrich spirit.
What will be in its body?
An ostrich is not a palm bear, nor is it an elk.They have no organs and secretions of any medicinal value.
Then why did the murderer choose to have a caesarean section-this risky and difficult method?
In the distance, the staff in the venue were quickly assembled by the foreman to deal with the bodies of the two ostriches separately.
The dejected roar of the person in charge can be heard from such a long distance:
"How do you take care of them?!! These two genetically mutated ostriches were bought by us for nearly 40 yen!!! How can you say that they are gone?! They even appeared under the noses of tourists in the garden. Such a thing!! Who takes care of these ostriches?! Do you want a job?!!”
Two men with peaked caps and light green overalls bowed their heads and silently took a step forward, bowing their heads and admitting their mistake:
"I'm sorry, this is our negligence. When the two ostriches were just delivered this morning, everything was normal except for poor digestion! We went to the veterinarian in the park to discuss giving them medicine, but we still haven't found them. Something happened to the doctor! I'm really sorry!"
The person in charge softened his tone when he heard this, but his face was still ashen with anger:
"Is this something that can be done with a few words of sorry?! You pack up and leave quickly!! This zoo doesn't need employees like you!!"
"Wait a minute
