Chapter 282 The Whereabouts of Grace Ahara
Chapter 282 The Whereabouts of Grace Ahara
"Xiao Jiu? I left dinner at the door."
Dr. Agasa's voice sounded outside, and Haibara Ai suddenly realized what she almost did.
"Yin Jiu...Brother?" Huihara Ai pushed Yin Jiu away in disbelief.
"what happened?"
Yin Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the shocked and confused expression of his young researcher, his eyebrows slightly raised.
You actually held it in?
"I told you that you shouldn't go on a hunger strike at your age. You've only been hungry for two meals and your face has turned pale. Do you want me to feed you?"
Yin Jiu opened the door, brought in the lunch box that was placed outside the door, and helped Huihara Ai pour a glass of warm water.
"Moisten your mouth first, don't be afraid, I will be here with you tonight."
Huihara Ai took the chopsticks stiffly with an obviously dazed expression, and then she bumped into Yin Jiu's smiling eyes. At this moment, she seemed to clearly hear the sound of a hundred flowers blooming.
"No..I'm fine."
Haibara Ai controlled the strange feeling in her heart and lowered her head. She was not afraid at all, she just felt something was not right.
After a moment of silence, she remembered that she hadn't been able to go to the police station to accompany Yin Jiu today, and she felt a little guilty, "Did the Metropolitan Police Department give you any trouble?"
"Not at all. In fact, they can't detain me for long." Yin Jiu watched the young researcher start to eat slowly in small bites, and moved a stool to sit next to him.
"Eat slowly. It's actually right that you didn't sleep. If people fall asleep right after experiencing something too terrifying, it's easy to have a subconscious impact. After dinner, I'll take you out for a walk. You'll feel much better after 24 hours."
Yin Jiu was arranging the subsequent itinerary. Vermouth had been living in the new house recently, and little Shirley went to his house to sleep, so it was a good opportunity for him to check on her health.
GA-II is much milder than GA-I. Even if the recipient is extremely out of control, he will not go crazy and bite others.
However, such changes do not mean that there are no compensatory symptoms.
Under normal circumstances, if the recipient is not injured, the most he will feel is uncontrollable hunger and thirst. However, once the recipient suffers fatal damage and lacks blood and flesh supply, the price will become apparent.
Following the principle of conservation of energy, a fatal injury will first overdraw the energy originally stored in the recipient to repair it, and then the receptor will fall into a long sleep until it receives Yin Jiu's blood.
During the dormant process, the drug will continue to transform the receptor body. In other words, every time the 'GA-II' receptor awakens again, it is a transformation, and the receptor's growth potential will be infinitely extended.
However, GA-II also has its limitations. The most obvious one is that if the recipient falls into a deep sleep and fails to contact his companions in time, it is very likely that the sleeping place is too hidden, resulting in the long-term disappearance of the person.
However, such defects are not a big problem for the research team members of the organization.
After multiple metamorphosis, members of the research group who have no time to exercise may also acquire higher physical fitness, thereby better ensuring the survival rate of the research group members.
If it were a member of the action team, the requirements for drugs would be higher. Yin Jiu felt that in order to ensure the safe survival of the organization's main arteries, the GA series of drugs still needed to be improved.
Yin Jiu is working hard for the future of the organization.
After Toru Amuro left Yin Jiu at Dr. Agasa's house, he went to find Vermouth.
"What kind of experiments did Yin Jiu cooperate with in the research group? You said before that every part of him belongs to the organization. What exactly is..."
"That's not the right way to ask a question."
In Shinide Hospital, Vermouth was still wearing Shinide Tomoaki's handsome face. When she heard Amuro Toru's question, she raised the empty teacup in her hand.
Toru Amuro immediately stepped forward, poured tea for Vermouth smoothly, then took a jar of sugar cubes from the cabinet and handed it to Vermouth.
“You are very smart.” Facing Bourbon’s angry expression, Vermouth calmly picked up the cup and took a sip. “I have said before that Yinjiu is an important resource for our organization. You have guessed some of it, right? For example, the sugar cube in your pocket is made by Yinjiu…”
The conversation stopped here. The beautiful woman with golden curly hair drank black tea leisurely. This habit was introduced to her by Yin Jiu. Vermouth shook the cup in her hand and watched the red liquid ripple.
"You mean..." Amuro Toru's pupils twitched, and an indescribable sense of absurdity spread.
He said that Roe Deer suddenly gave him a gift that day. Amuro Toru originally thought that Yin Jiu was just familiar with the people in the experimental group, so he used conditions to ask for an extra dose of special medicine.
I didn’t expect that Yin Jiu was actually the source supplier of the drugs.
"His body..." Can it bear it?
Damn it, those members of the action team were injured every day, and every dose of potion had to consume Yin Jiu's body to make it.
"So you programmed the embryo from the beginning? Yin Jiu's birth was a complete human experiment?"
Toru Amuro felt very upset.
"You can understand that."
The blood of Count Straw and Yin Shuli is rare enough in itself.
Of course, Vermouth would not tell Amuro the truth, but Bourbon's understanding made it easier for them to communicate. "So if people from other organizations find out about this secret..."
"This kind of thing must never happen." Amuro Toru gritted his teeth. If this was really the case, those people's methods might not be much gentler than the organization's.
What's more, the top management does have such a motive. Toru Amuro recalled the familiar names he saw on Mermaid Island and walked towards Agasa's house with a heavy face.
Yin Jiu had completely coaxed Huihara Ai, but seeing that the young researcher still didn't want to take a bite of him, he looked like he was struggling to endure hunger and thirst.
Yin Jiu sighed silently, helped clean up the dishes and left Huibara Ai's room.
"Brother Yin Jiu." Conan had been waiting outside the room. When he saw Yin Jiu come out, he immediately went up to him.
"Brother Yin Jiu, why do you think Zetian thinks Grace Ahara is dead?"
The cases of the past two days always make Conan feel that there is a sense of contradiction.
From the photos at the beginning, to Dr. Sawada's insistence that Yin Jiu killed Grace Ahara, and Kitahara's belief that Yin Jiu was dead.
Putting all these things together, other people might find it unbelievable that a gang was deliberately framing Yin Jiu, but Conan knew that the real Grace Ahara must have been in trouble.
After all, Haibara Ai is not the real protagonist. She has been traveling in Japan for so long as a child star, and Yin Jiu has never concealed the whereabouts of Grace Ahara.
And up to now, Grace, the real person involved, has not made any statement.
That could only mean that the real Grace Ahara was either dead or imprisoned.
So does Yin Jiu know about this?
Why is Dr. Sawada so sure that Grace Ahara cannot appear?
Conan was worried about the safety of the protagonist. Yin Jiu also thought about it, "This is indeed strange, but it may be that she misunderstood. Grace Ahara retired from the film industry due to health reasons. In order to treat her, I took her to the Anran Sanatorium..."
What Yin Jiu said was true. Grace Ahara was suffering from leukemia. The original owner took her to Anran Sanatorium just to find a bone marrow match for his childhood sweetheart.
It can be said that the original owner really had feelings for Grace Ahara.
But unfortunately, no one knows why Grace Ahara suddenly disappeared, and Yin Jiu's memory of this period is very vague.
In short, what he remembered was that Vermouth told him that Grace Ahara was taken back to England by her parents for recuperation.
Later, due to the busy affairs of the organization, Yin Shuli's disappearance left too many messes, and the original owner himself missed his mother very much, so he never contacted the other party again.
Is there some hidden secret here?
