Chapter 641: Kudo Mengyu

After all, the scientist whose codename Officer Hakuba spoke of is the future Ai Haibara.

This is an extremely important ally.

If this information were to be told to Kudo Shinichi now, I fear there would be major variables.

"A scientist capable of developing that kind of drug must have a high level of proficiency in chemistry and pharmacological theory."

"We could look into information regarding top-tier scientists in this field."

Kudo Shinichi continued.

"I've already checked; the data provided by the dark web shows nearly two thousand top-tier chemists and pharmacologists."

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

"This is only a portion of them. Although the dark web has published the genders and names of a small number of scientists here,"

"the vast majority of scientists only use abbreviations in different languages, and I don't know how to interpret the codenames."

"There is no other information."

"Relying on just this little bit of information to lock onto the scientist Officer Hakuba spoke of is basically impossible."

"If you want to understand the detailed profiles of these scientists, you have to post on the intelligence market."

"Obtaining detailed intelligence on scientists through such methods requires spending a lot of money."

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

"Will you pay for it, brother?"

"Uh…"

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi was also speechless.

In fact, Kudo Shinichi's father is a top-tier mystery novelist.

His mother was also a big star in the past.

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

it might not be enough to truly lock onto the information of that scientist provided by Officer Hakuba.

"So, we can't be too anxious about this matter."

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

"then the possibility of her being in this city is still relatively high. Let's take it slow; there will definitely be clues."

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

"Is that so…"

Kudo Shinichi also sighed helplessly.

The next day, at the Kudo residence.

"So this matter really has to be handled slowly?"

Hoshino Mu was eating breakfast while looking intentionally or unintentionally at Kudo Shinichi, who hadn't slept well.

"Yes, the funding is too high; I can't afford it, I can't buy the intelligence information."

Kudo Shinichi said powerlessly.

Then, Kudo Shinichi looked at Hoshino Mu.

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

"Why, is there a problem?"

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

"Kudo Shinichi is the same, enjoying delicious meals at his girlfriend's house."

"Besides, I also heard that Ran and Kudo Shinichi bathe toge—"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi hurriedly stepped forward to cover Hoshino Mu's mouth.

Furthermore, Kudo Shinichi glared at Hoshino Mu with murderous intent in his eyes.

"How could Hoshino Mu know about this?"

Kudo Shinichi followed Hoshino Mu's gaze and happened to see Kudo Mengyu's mischievous face.

"Brother, did you forget an important thing?"

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

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

"And when one is relaxed, one's mouth can be hard to control."

"And so, Hoshino Mu logically came to know about this."

"I'm really sorry, brother."

Does that expression look like she's embarrassed?

"Kudo Mengyu was definitely doing this on purpose."

Kudo Shinichi said very angrily.

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

"Besides, I just said Kudo Shinichi lives at his girlfriend's house, and Kudo Shinichi didn't refute that either."

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

"But now? How sordid, Kudo…"

Hoshino Mu was definitely siding with Kudo Mengyu.

Therefore, he said these words to Kudo Shinichi quite forcefully.

"That…"

Kudo Shinichi really didn't know how to respond to Hoshino Mu's words.

Moreover, at this moment, Kudo Shinichi's face turned red again, as if he had thought of something.

"Look, Kudo Shinichi's face is red. Did you remember that scene of bathing with Ran again?"

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

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi's face turned even redder from being teased.

Kudo Shinichi said even more angrily.

"Bastard!!"

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

"If you have the ability, why don't you two go bathe together too?"

Suddenly, the room went quiet.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi felt this atmosphere was very strange.

Then, he had a very bad premonition.

"Well, I'm full; I need to go out for a walk to digest."

Then, Hoshino Mu looked at Kudo Shinichi with great sympathy.

Of course, Hoshino Mu didn't dare look at Kudo Mengyu.

Then, Hoshino Mu's footsteps seemed slow, but in reality, he left the Kudo residence very quickly.
