Chapter 260

After all, the scientist’s code name mentioned by Superintendent Hakuba was the future Haibara Ai.

This was a very important ally.

If she told Conan this information now, she was afraid there would be major variables.

"A scientist who can develop that kind of drug must have a high level of chemistry and pharmacology theory."

"You can check information on top scientists in this field."

Conan continued.

"I’ve already checked. The data provided by the dark web shows nearly two thousand top chemists and pharmacologists."

"Among them, there are nearly three hundred women."

"This is only a part of it. Although the dark web has published the gender and names of a small portion of scientists here,"

"the vast majority of scientists just use abbreviations in different languages, and I don’t know how to interpret the code names."

"There is no other information."

"Relying on just this little bit of information to lock down the information on the scientist Superintendent Hakuba mentioned is basically impossible."

"If you want to know the detailed profile of the scientist, you have to post it on the intelligence market."

"It costs a lot of money to learn detailed intelligence about scientists in this way."

"These fees are at least five hundred thousand, or even as much as ten million."

"Are you going to pay for it, brother?"

"Uh..."

At this time, Conan was also very speechless.

In fact, Conan’s father was a top mystery novelist.

His mother was also a big star before.

According to Kudo Mengyu, even if the entire Kudo family were invested,

it might not necessarily lock down the information on the scientist provided by Superintendent Hakuba.

"So, you can’t be too anxious about this matter."

"Since you know this scientist is in that organization, and you know her gender,"

"then the possibility of her being in this city is relatively high. Take it slow; there will definitely be clues."

Kudo Mengyu, who was on the side, comforted him.

"Is that so..."

Conan also sighed helplessly.

The next day, at the Kudo residence.

"Sure enough, does this matter still have to be carried out slowly?"

Hoshino Ki was eating breakfast while looking intentionally or unintentionally at Conan, who hadn’t slept well.

"Yes, the funding is too high; I can’t afford the money to buy the intelligence information."

Conan said powerlessly.

Then, Conan also looked at Hoshino Ki.

"Why are you coming here to mooch breakfast so early in the morning? Is this appropriate?"

"What, is there a problem?"

"As a foodie, what could be the problem with tasting the delicious breakfast Kudo Mengyu makes?"

"Isn’t Conan the same, enjoying delicious three meals a day at his girlfriend’s house?"

"Besides, I also heard that Ran and Conan bathe together..."

When he heard this, Conan hurriedly stepped forward to cover Hoshino Ki’s mouth.

Moreover, Conan looked at Hoshino Ki with murderous intent in his eyes.

"How does Hoshino Ki know about this?"

Conan followed Hoshino Ki’s gaze and happened to see Kudo Mengyu’s mischievous face.

"Did brother forget an important thing?"

"Ran is our good friend, and also a very good bestie."

"During a chat occasionally, Ran inadvertently revealed the matter of bathing with brother."

"And when she is relaxed, her mouth can’t be controlled."

"Then, Hoshino Ki naturally found out about this."

"I’m really sorry, brother."

Does this expression look embarrassed at all?

"Kudo Mengyu is definitely doing this on purpose."

Conan said very angrily.

"So what if it’s on purpose? You did it, and you can’t let others talk about it?"

"Besides, I just said Conan lives at his girlfriend’s house, and Conan didn’t refute that either."

"When I first met Conan, he even said the girlfriend thing was a rumor."

"But now, it’s too filthy, Kudo..."

Hoshino Ki was definitely siding with Kudo Mengyu.

Therefore, he said these words to Conan very strongly.

"That..."

Conan really didn’t know how to respond to Hoshino Ki’s words.

Moreover, at this time, Conan’s face turned red again, as if he had thought of something.

"Look, Conan’s face is red. Did you remember the scene when you were bathing with Ran again?"

Seeing Conan turn red, Kudo Mengyu smiled even more slyly.

At this time, Conan’s face became even redder from being teased.

Conan said even more angrily.

"Bastard!!"

"These two guys are too much. So what if I bathe with Ran?"

"If you have the ability, why don’t you two go bathe together too."

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

"What’s wrong?"

Suddenly, Conan felt this atmosphere was very strange.

Then, he had a very bad premonition.

"That... I’m full, I need to go out for a walk to digest."

Then, Hoshino Ki looked at Conan with great sympathy.

Of course, Hoshino Ki didn’t dare to look at Kudo Mengyu.

Then, Hoshino Ki’s footsteps seemed slow, but he actually left the Kudo residence very quickly.
