Chapter 736 Exchange
Looking at Conan's expression that was shattered to a blank, Chu Ming stopped Kevin hypocritically: "Don't say such harsh words, maybe he is just a lolita complex."
It was called an explanation, but in fact it was just adding fuel to the fire, and Conan's face became even uglier.
"Shinichi-niang wouldn't..." He couldn't help but open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Haibara Ai.
"Yes, Shinichi brother is not that kind of person, I did it voluntarily!" Haibara Ai no longer cared about how much dirty water she had thrown at Kudo Shinichi. All these reputations were false, and the most important thing was to survive.
She had been thinking of doing just that when she heard Conan mention Granburch.
If it was other people from the organization, she might not say so. At most, she would reveal her identity and use herself as a bargaining chip to get the other party to let everyone go.
But Granburch is different. Based on her several contacts with Granburch and some things she learned from Conan, she can more or less see that this member is a person who is eager to see the world in chaos. He seems to like watching this kind of bloody drama very much, so Granburch will definitely be happy to watch her slandering Kudo Shinichi's reputation.
The reason why he is looking for trouble with Xiaolan now is simply because Conan has meddled in other people's business again and has hindered the organization, so he is planning to use Xiaolan to threaten Conan.
If Granburch was allowed to enjoy the show right now, maybe he would be in a good mood and let Xiaolan go this time.
After all, there is a reason for every wrong, why should Xiaolan help bear the consequences of Conan's misfortune! She had just found the shadow of her sister in Xiaolan, and now she couldn't let Xiaolan get hurt in front of her.
Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so no matter how serious or outrageous what she says is, no one else will know.
Besides, Conan will definitely understand which is more important, Kudo Shinichi's damaged reputation or Xiaolan's safety.
Moreover, if she forced her way out, and if Granburch was unwilling to give up, she could die in place of Xiaolan. Anyway, every day she lived was well earned.
"Tsk tsk, this Kudo Shinichi is really a piece of shit." As expected, as Haibara Ai expected, an interested voice came from the other side, "Little girl, talk more, I love to listen."
Conan stretched out his hand: "Wait, that's not the case—"
Xiaolan didn't care about the wound on her hand and pulled Conan over: "Don't speak for Shinichi, I also want to hear what kind of crazy thing he did. Ai is only in the first grade!!! How dare he do that!"
Conan didn’t know how things turned out like this. It was true that he wanted to delay time, but he didn’t intend to use this method!
Even if time is delayed, what can be saved? By then, his reputation will be ruined! ! Xiaolan will beat him to death if she sees him again!
No one present paid attention to his feelings. Everyone was listening attentively to Huibara Ai sharing the story she had just made up.
In the story, Kudo Shinichi, with the help of Conan, approached Haibara Ai under Xiaolan's nose, and used his detective's eloquence to win the little girl's heart.
Several times when the Junior Detective Team encountered danger, Conan went to Kudo Shinichi for help. In such situations, she and Kudo Shinichi had a mutual understanding, broke through the secular vision, became friends regardless of age, became spiritual partners, and became each other's confidants.
Although the last layer of window paper was not broken, it was obvious that Kudo Shinichi cared about her more than Xiaolan.
What Haibara Ai said was actually part of the experience between her and Conan, which was half true and half false, but the atmosphere was portrayed to be a little ambiguous, which made Kudo Shinichi in the story seem particularly scumbag.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Maori, you are so miserable." Chu Ming pretended to feel sorry for Xiaolan, "I heard that Kudo Shinichi has hardly met you all year round, but for the sake of this little girl, he helped those little devils solve many cases. You are too generous. What do you want with such a person? Just dump him as soon as possible. I feel sorry for you."
Who made Conan use Kudo Shinichi as an excuse every time he handles a case? Now everyone thinks he is a scumbag.
Xiaolan had already clenched her fists at this time. If she didn't know that the timing was not right and Kudo Shinichi was not in front of her, she would have been able to directly smash Kudo Shinichi's head.
"So can you please let Sister Xiaolan go? She is the most innocent." Relying on the darkness, Huibara Ai spoke pitifully, but her face looked calm. She was thinking about what to do next if Granburr did not agree to her.
"Okay, since your story suits my taste, I can let Miss Maori go." Without waiting for the people on the other side to show a look of joy, Chu Ming changed the subject, with a malicious smile on his face, "But, you have to use someone else in exchange."
No matter how everyone's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster, Chu Ming dropped this bomb and said slowly: "I'm in a good mood today, I won't hurt your lives, pick someone out, leave a piece of your finger, and you can all leave safely. Don't waste time, the electricity in this building won't come on, in one minute, if you can't pick someone, I'll pick someone randomly."
Huiyuan Ai clenched the corner of her clothes, not caring about hiding her identity, and spoke again, her voice trembling slightly: "I have something that I'm sure you'll be interested in. Can we talk alone?"
Chu Ming raised his eyebrows. What other information did Huiyuan Ai have? Hadn't he squeezed out all her experimental data?
"Okay." He took a few steps forward, picked up Haibara Ai who was standing nearby, and took her to the other corner.
Huihara Ai was caught off guard and soared into the air. She was taken to the other side and put down. She staggered a bit and barely stood firm by holding on to the wall next to her. She looked up at the blurry black shadow in front of her and said softly: "I have made considerable progress in my recent research. If you can let us go this time, I will give you all the results of my research during this period."
"Shirley, I remember that you had already traded your current research with me. Why are you selling the same thing to me twice?" Chu Ming put the gun to her temple. "I don't have a good temper."
"It's different!" A trace of struggle flashed across Huihara Ai's face, but she finally spoke, "Our previous transactions were all about antidotes, but this time it's not about antidotes, but APTX-4869. Some time ago, I accidentally discovered data that can make it divide cells more stably..."
In fact, Haibara Ai had planned to keep this matter to herself and not tell anyone, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and in order to save everyone, she could only use this most advantageous chip.
"You mean, the new drugs nowadays can make people shrink steadily?" Chu Ming was obviously interested. If the drugs were really stable, then he would really be curious about what Gin looked like when he was a child.
"It's not stable, but it's much higher than the one in ten million probability before..." Seeing that Granburr was obviously interested, Huiyuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief. "I can continue researching in this direction, and I will give you all the data in the future. Is this an exchange condition?"
