Conan: I am definitely not a kid

Chapter 86 Drugs that kill people
  "..." Mori Yura folded his legs, "Who told you that?"

Although Moriyura's use of experimental drugs on herself was not considered a secret in the organization, because it was closely related to the bombing case four years ago that has yet to be concluded, most insiders kept it secret, even her assistant Comley , I only heard about it recently from Mori Yura himself.

Four years ago, Shirley was just 11 years old and still studying in a school on the other side of the ocean. Even if she had heard about the explosion in the laboratory, she shouldn't have known such details.

Shirley didn't know why: "When they persuaded me before..."

Understand, this is using her to educate Shirley.

I don’t know who has such a wonderful brain circuit. Using her example to persuade Shirley, aren’t you afraid that Shirley will follow suit and poison herself to death with one shot of the potion?

Mori Yura was helpless: "I don't mind answering this question, but what do you want to know when you ask?"

Shirley pursed her lips and remained silent.

Mori Yuro looked at Shirley and suddenly realized why she couldn't speak out under surveillance.

"They said you were difficult to work with. I thought they were exaggerated before." After all, according to the comics, Shirley was still working diligently for the organization three years later, and since she entered the house, Shirley's attitude has always been good. Yuro didn't expect that 15-year-old Shirley would already have such an idea.

Mori Yura almost sighed and said: "You don't think that I test the medicine on myself because I don't want to do anything to the experimental subjects, do you?"

Shirley: "..."

Shirley lowered her head silently.

She is not the gullible type, but during this time, the pressure of human experiments almost drove her to collapse. The experimental subject who died in front of her seemed to have engraved the resentment before his death into her head. Every night when she closed her eyes, Shirley could see those eyes of hatred, resentment, and unwillingness, bloodyly accusing her of her crimes.

It had been a long time since she had slept through the night.

If this continues, she is afraid that she will go crazy.

Therefore, knowing that Madera, as the leader of the experimental team, had escaped unscathed from the action team, and that there would definitely be a lot of lives in his hands, Shirley still held on to the extravagant hope of meeting someone who understood her thoughts.

But as expected, there was no such person in the laboratory of this organization.

She was too naive, Shirley thought.

Shirley must have been in the organization since she was born, right? How did the organization develop her to be such a sensitive, kind, and moral person?
  Mori Yuro was a little curious: "Before entering the tissue laboratory, did you work in a pharmaceutical company outside?"

Shirley shook her head: "I have only done research in my mentor's laboratory for a few years."

The organization required her to graduate as soon as possible, which severely reduced her time for further study at the university. She skipped the internship experience in her final year and returned directly to the organization laboratory.

Mori Yura was not surprised by this: "Me neither."

She entered the organization when she was 17 years old and studied directly with the senior researchers in the organization at that time. She didn't even go to university.

"But before I entered the organization, I had seen many drug development institutions." This was an experience that Shirley, who was trapped in the organization laboratory, might never experience in her life. Her curiosity about the professional field made her slightly excited. head.

"My father is the head of a drug testing agency." Moriyuro recalled, "Every new drug must pass clinical testing research before it can be put on the market. This kind of testing is often conducted under the supervision of a third-party testing agency. My father’s company does this work.”

"Most of the new drugs on the market cannot be said to be innovations in the true research sense. Using known drug ingredients to slightly modify the proportions, adding some insignificant maintenance ingredients, and giving a name that is slightly changed from the previous version is quite It’s easy to pass the test and go public to make money.”

"But in addition to these, there are many truly innovative drugs. The development process of these drugs is time-consuming and expensive, but at the same time, they can easily end in failure."

This is actually the norm in the drug research and development industry. There is nothing new. Even if the organization has invested a huge amount of money and resources for so many years, it has not been able to obtain the desired results.

Mori Yuro asked: "They are all doing drug research and development. Do you know what is the biggest difference between tissue laboratories and the outside world?"

Shirley obviously hesitated for a moment whether to tell the truth, but finally said: "What we make is poison that kills people."

Mori Yuro shook his head: "The organization's research scope is not that narrow, Shirley."

"The original intention of organizations to develop drugs is for their own use, not for profit from sales." Mori Yuro said, "This means that authenticity and certainty are equally important as the effect of the drug."

Shirley looked at Yuro Mori for no apparent reason, and only heard her say: "In my father's company, more than 30% of the data on drugs that pass the test are forged."

Shirley's eyes widened in shock.

She knew that data fraud had always existed in the industry, but the 30% rate was far beyond her imagination.

The testing agency does not have its own R&D and sales department, and relies entirely on drug testing to make money. The number of new drugs it handles every year is considerable. Even if the institution itself has problems, 30% of the drug types are too many!
  "The goal of the operations team is to complete the assassination with certainty. Unless your poison's lethality rate reaches 100%, they will be more inclined to use other killing methods than poisoning."

"I have been doing research on human function enhancement for a long time. Even though the clinical effects of the drug have been stable and many field staff in the organization have received this treatment, the organization finally stopped my project because of the possible side effects. In comparison, the higher authorities would rather give up the efficacy of medicine that can make the organization a lot of profit."

Mori Yuro explained: "I relied on this drug to transform myself from a researcher into a field officer capable of completing the tasks of the action team."

One can imagine the high price this drug can fetch.

"This is the benefit of having direct contact with the actual demanders of drugs, Shirley." Mori Yuro said, "But the purposes of the drug research and development companies outside are different."

"..." Shirley murmured, "They just want to make money."

Mori Yuro nodded: "Ordinary drugs just tamper with the data to make the effect look better. In fact, it will not have any impact, but for those truly new drugs..."

"Fake data and random listings will kill people..." Shirley couldn't believe it, "Aren't they afraid that the incident will come to light?!"

"It's still worth spending a lot of money on research. Most of the drugs that won't make money back are for diseases that endanger life and have no treatment." Mori Yura said calmly, "Compared with ordinary drugs, the research and development of such drugs is very expensive. A certain level of clinical mortality can be tolerated."

"So even if it kills people after it's put on the market, who can find out that it's a drug problem?"
