Chapter 1089 The Magic of Petals-end
As everyone expected, Ida Hang and Natalie made a big move.
Ida Ko died in a traffic accident, and Natalie committed suicide. The noise these two people made when they fell out of the egg was even louder than the previous ones.
The two people who were hugging each other crashed out directly after a noise, perfectly recreating the gravitational acceleration at the time of their death.
If the people standing by the table hadn't quickly grabbed the cloth that was originally an eggshell, these two people might have broken many more things in the laboratory.
After pulling away the cloth covering her head and face, Yi Dahang looked at his girlfriend who was in his arms, with tears still on her face and who had not yet regained consciousness. He then looked at the unusually lively room, his expression dull for a long time.
"...Even if it's the kingdom after death, there's no need to wait until everyone is gone before calling everyone back together, right?"
It's very frustrating, but understandable.
Who made him stand in front of four classmates from the police academy...
"Is Miss Natalie okay?"
Seeing Haibara Ai walking out of the room, Tang Ze stood up and asked.
"It's nothing. She's in good physical condition. The reason she hasn't woken up yet is probably because she hasn't recovered from the emotional shock, and... you know, she committed suicide that way. Even if you recover as if nothing happened, this kind of death has a huge impact on the body. She'll be fine soon."
Pulling the stethoscope around her neck, Huibara Ai let out a breath.
Although she obtained a degree in clinical medicine, she is a researcher pursuing medical research, and clinical medicine is just an additional learning project necessary for research.
She had never imagined that there would be a day when it would be so useful...
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai raised her head, stared at Tang Ze's face, and said nothing.
Asai Narimi, who had followed her out, blinked and, with a knack for reading the atmosphere, spoke up. "Well, they're still in the reception room downstairs explaining the situation to Mr. Date. They must be concerned about Natalie's condition. I'll go tell them."
After saying that, he turned around, deliberately chose the stairs on the farther side, and walked quickly towards the hallway.
Anyone can see that Haibara Ai took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of and checking on Natalie, and even pulled Tang Ze along, because she had something she wanted to say to Tang Ze.
Only after Asai Narimi's hurriedly departing figure disappeared around the corner did Tang Ze turn back to look at his sister who was folding her arms, and half-knelt down: "Why did you call me up so suddenly? What happened?"
Ida Hang just woke up and probably doesn't understand the situation yet.
Since Furuya Rei was still there, some things could not be said too clearly, so a few people took Date Kou to the reception room, intending to blur out the reasons for his resurrection and explain the current situation to him.
Since the Phantom Thieves are not involved yet, there is naturally no need for Tang Ze to get involved.
He was very curious about what Haibara Ai wanted to say that made her call him over.
Haibara Ai took a deep breath and put her hand into her white coat.
Slowly, she took out the things in her pocket and showed them to Tang Ze.
"What is this? Have you discovered anything new?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows when he saw Huiyuan Ai showing him a transparent medicine box with a few white pills inside. "Why are you so serious?"
As he spoke, he quietly opened Haibara Ai's panel and briefly checked the values on it.
Well, the scientific research progress is normal, and the technology tree is gradually lighting up. The other equipment that will be needed for research later has not yet turned red.
This shouldn't be a particularly significant discovery, so why is it being made so official...
Ai Haibara only used a short sentence to make Tang Ze's eyes suddenly look respectful.
"This is me, the restored APTX."
"You've completely restored Drug A?" Tang Ze's eyes widened slightly. "So impressive?"
Even if he got the drug from Pisco Hall, which was suspected to be the final product of Drug A, Tang Ze was actually unsure whether Haibara Ai could figure out its formula, successfully manufacture it and then reverse engineer it.
After all, the source of the drug is irregular, and no one can say for sure whether it is the correct compound or some kind of starch ball that has been specially identified through cognitive science.
If it is the latter, after studying for a long time, we find that it is a matter of metaphysics and there is no way to create an antidote through scientific means. Then all the efforts we have made will be in vain.
Even if it is truly a successful drug A, it will still be very difficult to replicate it.
If it were so easy to figure out what it is, how it works, and how it became a miracle drug that "cures death", with the scientific research capabilities of the Miyano couple, they would not have made much progress until Shiho Miyano took over their research.
"Ah, yes." Smoothing her hair, Huibara Ai smiled subtly. "It's actually a little more complicated than I imagined. However, I am the main researcher of APTX after all. And thank you for giving me those 'medicines'."
"Hmm?" Tang Ze frowned. "What potion? You don't mean the one from Pramya..."
"Yes. That's right. I got some inspiration from them. I have to admit, there's a reason why Pramiya has been able to remain in business despite being an internationally wanted criminal for so long." Huihara Ai nodded. "The two liquids she made for mixing were actually quite fraudulent before they were mixed. Her ability to successfully infuse them into the jack-o'-lantern wasn't entirely due to money or connections. They are indeed quite useful colorants. I guess she sold them to manufacturers as raw materials for new products."
"This and your research..."
"Oh, I got some ideas from this. I tried the few semi-finished raw materials I had, and of course, the blood samples from Kudo and Vermouth... The specific ideas are very complicated. Anyway, I am very convinced that the reason why the drug had not made any progress before was due to the lack of sufficient biological samples."
Haibara chuckled, her smile a little brighter than usual.
It can be seen that her research has made new progress, and it can also scare Tang Ze on another level, which makes her feel very good.
"Two harmless things ultimately became the culprits of destruction, becoming a magical weapon that aided and abetted the evil... Don't you think this is an interesting approach to research? Pramya may not be a meticulous criminal, but it has to be said that she might be a genius in the field of pharmaceutical research or even applied chemistry."
"Hiss..." Tang Ze took a breath through gritted teeth.
He understood the logic. It was nothing more than that when Haibara Ai was making the neutralizer for them, she studied the sample he sent her. Then she got some ideas from the design and found a transit method to reach the final destination.
But at the end I still have to thank Pramya for the bomb reward. Is this reasonable?
Huiyuan Ai understood the reason why Tang Ze's brows were twitching, and pursed her lips to suppress her smile: "Don't be like that, isn't nitroglycerin both a bomb and a life-saving remedy? Putting it in this place, I think it makes perfect sense."
Unable to refute, Tang Ze was silent for a moment, but still reached out to take the medicine box handed to him by Huibara Ai.
Unlike the ones he gave to Haibara Ai, they were not made into regular capsules - the kind Conan had eaten - but were made into round tablets.
There is a "K" engraved on each piece.
"Is this considered a thank you?" Tang Ze laughed dumbly after seeing the pills clearly. "This is your own hard work. I haven't done much for you."
really not?
Huibara gave him a teasing look, and didn't say anything about his humble words. She just pointed at the medicine in his hand again.
"I think I've basically figured out why Uncle Tang Ze was attracted to the organization's offer back then. Although some of the active ingredients in Drug A are different from those in the KA series, they are essentially similar compounds."
"You mean...?" Hearing her words, Tang Ze instinctively tightened his fingers and held the small box between his fingers.
He actually understood Haibara Ai's hint, and because of this, his heart trembled slightly.
When the Karazawas joined the organization, the Miyanos had already passed away.
And if some of the ingredients in the KA series are actually related to APTX...
"Although you probably weren't cured by this drug, and the KA series ultimately didn't become a lifesaver, but instead became something that caused endless harm... this probably explains something."
Haibara Ai smiled, her expression still gentle, but there was an indescribable calmness and determination between her eyebrows.
"In the final analysis, what truly captivated my aunt and uncle was the wisdom my parents condensed into their research. The fact that APTX, even if it was only a semi-finished product, the APTX4869, was born in my hands seemed like an inevitability of fate. I will do it."

"...So, she really is Teacher Elena's daughter."
Walking on the street of 2-chome, Furuya Rei took a deep breath and sighed.
This tone, this awareness, and that gentle undertone that can never be erased...
Although Teacher Elena did not have the opportunity to accompany her children to grow up, it is still gratifying that her daughters have all become very outstanding people and are following in her footsteps.
"Compared to this kind of thing, you actually confirmed the situation only after seeing Sister Mingmei." Tang Ze squinted at him, "You've been in the organization for so many years, and you don't know anything about Shirley's identity?"
"I understand, yes. But not for this reason." Furuya Rei shook his head and explained seriously, "I'm primarily an intelligence officer under Rum. While I have the power to act independently, it would be easy to arouse suspicion if I were to casually pry into the organization's other secrets."
What's more, to him at that time, most of the people in the organization were enemies.
"Sulli is a reclusive researcher, or rather, she lives completely under the control of the organization. It's difficult to even meet her, let alone investigate the entanglements behind her. Honestly, the only research I've done on Sulli revolves around her possible academic background and research directions."
"What about Sister Mingmei? Haven't you met her in the organization?" Tang Ze frowned and asked strangely.
This sounds like it's a little different from some of the basic settings that Tang Ze knows.
"It's not like I've never encountered them before. But I wasn't sure before." At this point, Furuya Rei also squinted and rolled his eyes back. "The Miyano sisters did lose their parents, so they had a hard time holding on in the organization, but they are not alone in the organization."
Less than two years after the accidental death of the Miyano couple, the Karasawa couple also fell into the big pit of the organization because of Karasawa's illness.
Although their position in the organization is awkward, being both protected and guarded against, their status is ultimately different from that of ordinary members of the organization.
With their care, the Miyano sisters can’t say that their lives are much better than before, but at least they have some support.
Tang Ze's eyebrows were raised so high that they were almost hidden in his bangs.
After all this time, the butterfly dropped. The person who confirmed Miyano Akemi's identity earlier than Furuya Rei turned out to be his own parents...
"Okay, just send it here."
Standing at the intersection, Fūya Rei put the beret in his hand back on his head to hide the still gentle expression on his face.
It had been an exhausting day, the constant stream of events causing him considerable trouble. Taking an hour to witness his friend's rebirth was already the limit.
The issues left by Pramya still need to be dealt with, and the flaws in his own identity need further screening to ensure safety.
Team Zero also needs to assist other police departments in preparing to handle the major incident that occurred in Shibuya today and deal with the public opinion storm...
On the organization's side, Bourbon also had new troubles to deal with. Regarding Kiel, who had lost contact, and Curacao, who had also lost contact, there was still a lot to do...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the half-culprit standing nearby.
"I still have a lot of things to do, as for you..."
"Don't worry, if Mr. Date has no interest in getting involved in the Phantom Thieves' affairs, I won't force anything." Knowing the deeper emotions behind his words, Tang Ze spoke first, "He has a girlfriend he's talking about getting married to, and he's not involved in too many secretive things. If he wants to return to a normal life, I'll find a way."
Tang Ze spoke first, understanding his doubts.
The scene just now was indeed very funny. It was really touching that five people reunited in this special way, sitting at a table and talking about the incredible present.
But Furuya Rei must have known about it. He didn't mention the matter of the Phantom Thieves because he was concerned about his presence. As for Date Kou's future lifestyle, it still depends on his own wishes.
"No, I believe you can handle these." Fūya Rei laughed dumbly.
He stretched out his hand, pressed Tang Ze's head for the first time in a long time, and rubbed it hard a few times, making the fluffy head even more messy.
"The magic of the petals finally worked, didn't it? Thank you, for them, and for me."
