Chapter 645: Martin Returns, Bad Guests Become Neighbors
Chapter 645: Martin Returns, Bad Guests Become Neighbors
"Doctor, this brother Okiya Subaru heard about you and wanted to visit you."
Today, Conan brought a guest to Dr. Agasa's house.
The guest called himself Okiya Subaru, a graduate student of engineering at Touto University. When he saw Dr. Agasa, he showed great admiration and immediately offered a bunch of flattery as a junior, which made Dr. Agasa dizzy.
After feeling that Professor Agasa had completely let down his guard, Okiya Subaru finally said, "Come to think of it, this is a very empty house. Are you the only one living here with this lady?"
Miyano Akemi frowned.
As another member of the family, Miyano Akemi would naturally show up when guests came, boil water and make tea for them, and then sit aside and watch.
Intuitively, she always felt that this squinty-eyed college student wearing glasses had bad intentions, especially when he looked at her. Although she couldn't see his eyes, she always felt that an aggressive gaze was scanning her.
After all, having survived the Black Organization, Miyano Akemi is very observant. She is certain that Okiya Subaru's true character is definitely not as gentle and cheerful as he appears to be.
"Well, actually there are two more children, but they went traveling together and will be back in a while." Dr. Agasa replied.
"Then can you let me stay here for a while?" Subaru Okiya asked immediately, speaking very quickly: "Because the place I live in just burned down, I hope you can rent me a room!"
"Eh?" Dr. Agasa was stunned.
"Apart from the rent, I can be your research assistant or help with other things in my free time! Please give me a chance to learn from you!" Okiya Subaru continued to speak quickly, not giving Dr. Agasa any time to think.
"Wow, this person is so shameless!" Miyano Akemi's voice came from the side.
"Ms. Qiuya?"
"You are a young and energetic man. You know that there is only an old man and a young lady living here, but you still want to move in. Who knows what dirty thoughts you have in your mind." Miyano Akemi stared at him: "You are so shameless!"
Subaru Okiya hurriedly explained: "Ms. Akiya misunderstood me. First, I just admired Dr. Agasa's knowledge. Second, the place where I originally lived caught fire, and it is indeed difficult to find a place to live in this area."
"You're a big guy who's nearly 1.9 meters tall. You can go to the park in this weather and feed mosquitoes. You can lie under a bridge and bask in the moonlight without freezing to death." Miyano Akemi began to speak viciously.
Subaru Okiya stopped arguing and turned to look at Dr. Agasa: "What do you think, Doctor?"
"This..." Dr. Agasa was a little embarrassed.
Even if Miyano Akemi didn't object, he should have refused. After all, there were no extra guest rooms in the house. If Okiya Subaru was allowed to move in, he would either have to live in Martin's room or sleep in the living room or basement.
But Okiya Subaru was brought by Shinichi, and Dr. Agasa felt that Shinichi wanted him to agree to it, and guessed that there must be a big plan for Shinichi. In addition, Shinichi asked him to help make a bulletproof knitted hat containing fake blood bags, so Dr. Agasa had some guesses about Okiya Subaru's identity.
Professor Agasa looked down at Conan, while Conan looked up at him and smiled, without saying anything. At least it can be seen that Okiya Subaru's request for shelter was not unexpected to Conan.
When Miyano Akemi saw that the doctor was hesitating and was about to bring up Fusae, the door of Dr. Agasa's house was pushed open.
"What's going on? I've only been away for a short time, and you're renting out my room right now?" Martin walked in, joking, "This is as serious a crime as 'moving without telling me', Doctor~"
"Martin! Ai! Rabbit! You're back!" Dr. Agasa's eyes lit up, and he temporarily left Okiya Subaru and went over to greet them.
Haibara Ai and the jumping rabbit followed Martin in.
"Shi...Ai!" Miyano Akemi rushed over.
Huiyuan sighed. Her sister wanted to pick her up and rub her cheek against her again. It was so annoying...
Puff~ "Chi?"
Miyano Akemi hugged Tuji tightly.
"Oh, this soft touch is so great. I miss you so much, little rabbit." Miyano Akemi said as she pinched it twice and lowered her head to wink at Haibara Ai.
"Martin, Haibara, you're back!" Conan was surprised but also very happy. He walked over and said something nonsense.
Martin ignored him and turned his head to look at Subaru Okiya with raised eyebrows.
They didn't stay in that 'pure version' parallel world for too long, they went to the world where Martin was born, mainly because Martin went home to stay for a few days. Ma Wu didn't go back to his past home, he took Huiyuan Ai to play there for a few days, and then returned to this world together.
This time, they felt that they had been in the universe for four months, but less than a month had passed in Conan's world. The incident of Rena Mizunashi had obviously been skipped over, and now it is the Bourbon chapter where Subaru Okiya first appeared.
The pretty boy is back? Martin is in his original form now. Subaru Okiya has seen him several times and recognized him at a glance.
Okiya Subaru also knew that he had no chance to succeed, so he took the initiative to say goodbye: "Since Dr. Agasa's family is back, it seems that there are no vacant rooms. I'll leave quickly and find another house, otherwise I will really have to sleep in the park tonight."
Subaru Okiya has been keeping an eye on Professor Agasa's house and discovered that for some reason the pretty boy never went home, but he would pass by and take a few turns every now and then (actually he was a vest), while the shrunken Miyano Shiho was nowhere to be seen.
He felt that Mingmei's safety was not secure in this state, so he suggested moving in to protect Mingmei. Unexpectedly, the pretty boy ran back immediately after he suggested it.
"Hey, Okiya Subaru-nii." Conan stood up and said, "Why don't you live in Shinichi-nii's house? It's the house next door. Look, you can see that place from the window."
Having said this, Conan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Martin was back. Could it be that his house had replaced his own house again?
Thinking of this, Conan quickly turned his head to look next door.
Fortunately, when I look through the glass curtain wall of Dr. Agasa's house, the Kudo residence to the west is still my three-story villa.
"Oh, what a grand house, is it really okay for me to stay here?" This was not in the script that Okiya Subaru and Conan had agreed on beforehand, and Okiya Subaru cautiously tried to probe. "Yes, Shinichi-niang is away on a long trip, the key is with me, I will explain to Shinichi-niang later." Then Conan added meaningfully: "Just help him take good care of the house while he is away."
"In this case, we are neighbors." Subaru Okiya said to Martin.
"It's very dangerous to be my neighbor." Martin picked up the teacup handed to him by Akemi Miyano and suddenly said sinisterly.
What's going on? Are you threatening me? Okiya Subaru was puzzled: "I don't understand what you mean."
"It's okay. Maybe we'll understand it tomorrow." Martin also narrowed his eyes, looking like an old fox like the other party.
"Is that so... Actually, it's normal to encounter danger." Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses: "I just escaped from a fire, I'm used to it."
"Let me take you to see Shinichi's house, Okiya Subaru." Conan felt that the atmosphere between Martin and Okiya Subaru was a bit tense. While speaking, he walked towards the door, ready to take Okiya Subaru out.
Martin finally pulled him back: "Just show him the key yourself. I still have something to ask you."
Conan took out the key to Kudo's house and gave it to Subaru Okiya.
Directly giving the key of a house to a stranger you met for the first time and letting him check it out by himself, this level of trust is usually a bit inexplicable, but everyone present knew more or less about the collusion between Conan and Okiya Subaru, so there was nothing unusual. The one who was most surprised at this time was Okiya Subaru, who had not yet noticed the relationship between Conan and Kudo Shinichi.
However, with Okiya Subaru's shrewdness, he naturally didn't ask anything. He just took the key and went next door to confirm that he and Akemi were neighbors first.
Subaru Okiya left and Conan was left behind.
"Where's your sister? Why didn't she come?" Conan asked first.
"She went back to work. Ma Jia took her shift for half a month, and quit as soon as he knew she was back." Martin shrugged. "According to the time, her internship is almost over, so she will go back to the future by then."
"Besides, I'm the one who wants to ask you questions, Detective." Martin asked, "What happened? How come my cousin is still 'dead'?"
"Ha... It seems like a good idea. It would be a waste if it is not used." Conan secretly checked his own plot in the Corpse Brother World. Although he did not have time to read it all in detail, he at least sorted out the main line before the original story. He knew that Shuichi Akai was "dead" in the plot, and guessed that it should be a fake death. Then he thought his idea was good and used it again.
In the original plot, Gin ordered Mizunashi Rena to kill Akai Shuichi in order to send the CIA undercover agent Hondou Eikai back to the organization, and from then on became a high-level agent of both the FBI and CIA. Akai Shuichi and Conan predicted Gin's reaction and formulated a fake death plan.
When Martin came back and saw Okiya Subaru, he was still very surprised. After the disturbance in the main god space, the former boss of the Black Organization was expelled from the organization by the rebellion of the vest, and Gin had already defected and was responsible for hunting down the former boss. Logically speaking, the plot had changed a lot, so why did Shuichi Akai still "die".
The teacup in Miyano Akemi's hand fell onto the coffee table with a bang, and her face turned pale: "Hideki is dead? What happened?"
It turns out that Conan not only didn't tell them Okiya Subaru's identity, he didn't even tell them that Akai Shuichi had faked his death. Martin looked at Conan with dead eyes, this guy is so dishonest, not only did he hide it from his enemies, he also hid it from his accomplices, not only hid it from his accomplices, he also hid it from the audience, was he afraid that the audience would tell on him or something, sometimes his enemies knew about his arrangements earlier than the audience did.
"Fake death! It's fake death! The Subaru Okiya just now was Mr. Akai in disguise!" Conan explained quickly.
"Eh? Was that Hideki just now?" Miyano Akemi was stunned.
Conan took some time to explain to Miyano Akemi, and also told Martin and Haibara Ai what had happened before.
Conan, who had sneaked a peek at the plot, already knew that Rena Mizunashi was an undercover agent of the CIA, but in order to turn her into a dual-level senior agent working for the FBI, the plot was still repeated. As for some reason, the Black Organization, although without Gin, "cooperated" very well, and in the end, the plot was similar to that of Shuichi Akai faking his death.
"Tsk, the other side can change its name to a vest organization." Martin shook his head in disgust.
According to the usual behavior of a certain person, the vacancy left by Gin's disappearance must have been filled by him, and then the Black Organization inexplicably had a large number of members. The vest should be to let Martin have fun, deliberately leading the plot in the direction of the original work, and reaching an invisible cooperation with Conan.
Miyano Akemi heaved a sigh of relief when she found out that Akai Shuichi was not dead. She looked down at Huihara Ai and said, "Shiho, did you bring any souvenirs for your sister?"
"I haven't found anything worthy of being a gift along the way." Huiyuan Ai shook her head at first, but then she took out a glass jar like a magician and gently threw it to Conan: "This is for Edogawa."
"Eh? There's a gift for me?" Conan unexpectedly caught the glass jar, and then found a few blue capsules inside: "What is this...?"
"It's a temporary antidote. According to the experimental records, it can allow your body to recover for more than 24 hours. The side effect is that it will produce a certain drug resistance, so don't take too much."
Although Conan brought back a "youth potion" with no side effects from the main god space that can be used as a temporary antidote, it can only make him a real man for ten minutes, and the duration is not as long as the orthodox antidote from the parallel world.
Just thinking about the source of the antidote, Haibara Ai blushed a little.
Originally, he wanted to steal his own research data and a trial antidote from another world without anyone noticing, but he saw the other person calling his sister's number and couldn't help but criticize her, and then he quarreled with the self who was under great psychological pressure. In the end, in order not to interfere with the progress of that world, he had to knock her out and erase her memory of himself, and then take away the research data and temporary antidote.
Martin's phone rang.
Could it be a call from Xiaolan? Conan stared at Martin warily. Or was it a call from Sonoko?
"It's a vest." Martin rolled his eyes and said as he answered the phone.
"Xiao Ding, are you back?" A young man's voice came from the phone. Although the voice on the phone was a little distorted, if you listen carefully, you will find that the voice is very similar to Martin's voice.
"When did you become so good at talking nonsense?" Martin complained mercilessly into the phone. He had even taken Ma Wu back to work, so didn't he know that he was back?
"The phone is perfect for talking nonsense." The man on the other end of the line said gently, ignoring Martin's irritable tone: "If you want to talk about business, why don't we meet in person? I'll wait for you in a nearby cafe."
"Didn't you say at the beginning that there was no clone of you in Tokyo?"
"You also said that you said this 'back then'. Now, isn't it normal that the situation has changed?"
"Humph, what else do you have to say?" Martin pouted: "Just wait there, huh."
