Not to mention, now she has to start extracting living fly maggots from pig carcasses every day to make specimens?

"I...I'll do my best."

Mao Lilan tried her best to pretend to be strong in front of the new juniors.

"Okay." Lin Xinyi nodded with satisfaction: "Then Ms. Maori and Mr. Subaru, I will leave this experiment to you."

He watched Mao Lilan and Okiya Subaru enter the laboratory together with relief, and then he planned to take advantage of the time saved by leaving the work to the students and go back to the office to touch fish for a while.

But at this time, Conan kid stopped him quite concerned:

"Lin, where did Okiya Subaru come from?"

"How did he appear here?"

"Well... didn't I explain it to everyone just now, he is my new student." Lin Xinyi looked at Conan with a strange expression: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask, why are you here?"

When I saw that Conan was not at school today, but came to the Metropolitan Police Department with Mao Lilan, he was in a bad mood.

Fortunately, members of the "professional team" such as Dr. Ali, Uncle Mao Li, and the Boy Detective Team did not appear, which made Lin Xinyi feel a little more at ease.

"Did you come to work with Miss Maori when you were idle and bored during the holidays?"

"No." Conan shook his head: "Xiao Lante asked me to come here."

"She said she was afraid of doing the experiment alone, so she wanted me to accompany her."

"but…"

He hesitated to speak:

But Mao Lilan suddenly has a partner now.

Moreover, he is a young, handsome and rich graduate student from Dongda University.

"I always feel that this guy is a bit weird..."

"Oh?" Lin Xinyi's expression suddenly became serious: "What problem do you see?"

"Eh..." The detective blushed in a rare way: "Just...that's..."

"It's a gut feeling."

Talking bad about people based on intuition alone can be regarded as a black spot in his detective career.

But Conan does have the ability to "know people intuitively" now.

Just like Haibara Ai's "Organizational Radar".

It's just that Haibara Ai's radar is a black radar that specializes in sensing black organizations.

His radar is a green radar that can sense potential rivals.

From Hayashi Shinichi to Asai Narumi to Hattori Heiji, this radar has exploded in his heart countless times.

Fortunately, those anxious days are finally over...

Hayashi Shinichi and Hattori Heiji both have their own girlfriends, and Asai Naomi has simply become Mori Ran's best friend.

The radar in Conan's heart has not reported to the police for a long time.

But now, seeing this suddenly appearing Okiya Subaru, he feels a kind of crisis that he hasn't seen for a long time:

Such a young and handsome medical graduate student from Dongda University suddenly fell from the sky.

Moreover, he became Xiaolan's younger brother, and he wanted to spend all day with her researching forensic subjects.

Damn...why did so many outstanding men of the right age appear around Xiaolan one after another after he became smaller? !

Thinking of this, Conan's mood is very bad.

But now facing Lin Xinyi's questioning eyes, his reason quickly regained the upper hand:

"What the hell am I thinking..."

"Xiaolan just met that guy, so what threat can he pose to me?"

Conan tried his best to calm down the waves in his heart.

And just then...

"what--"

Suddenly there was a piercing scream in the laboratory.

Lin Xinyi and Conan are both familiar with that voice:

"Miss Maury?!"

"orchid?!"

The two were startled, and immediately followed the sound and ran into the laboratory.

And as soon as the door was pushed open, they saw:

Okiya Subaru was gently stroking Mao Lilan's shoulder, and it seemed that in the next second, he would reach out and gently wrap her in his arms.

Conan: "???"

His head turned green instinctively, but he quickly reacted:

The truth is different from what he sees.

Because this is not a place suitable for talking about love at all.

I saw a rotten and smelly dead pig lying in the middle of the floor of the laboratory. The plastic sheet under the pig's corpse was still dripping with red and black viscous corpse fluid that was hard to distinguish.

Innumerable flies fluttered in the house, and maggots squirmed on the carrion.

Even with the windows of the room open all the time, the smell in the room was so strong that it made people want to cry.

Even Conan, a professional, couldn't handle this scene.

He didn't even need to act, his expression was just like that of a real elementary school student, he was so frightened by the scene in this room that he turned pale——

There's no way, it's strange to say that Conan has encountered so many corpses before, but he has never seen a rotting corpse covered with bugs.

(Because comics can scare children)

So in front of this shocking scene, he can only be regarded as a newcomer.

Since even Conan can't stand this scene...

Which carbon-based organism can be ambiguous in this environment?

"Xiaolan must have been frightened by something..."

"That's why Okiya Subaru supported her, right?"

Conan quickly understood the situation.

And that's exactly what happened.

Even with Okiya Subaru supporting his shoulders, Mourilan's face was pale and his whole body was weak, as if he couldn't even stand firmly.

Seeing the appearance of Lin Xinyi and Conan, she struggled to stand still in embarrassment, and then explained in embarrassment and fear:

"Just, when I went to take the sample of fly maggots, my legs went limp..."

Mao Lilan glanced at the pig corpse next to him with lingering fear.

The smashed wound on the pig's head, as well as the eyes, nose, and mouth, all had little white things wriggling slowly.

Just seeing this scene is scary enough.

And just now, in order to show the sophistication of her "senior sister", she had to bite the bullet and get close with tweezers, to grab one alive from the wriggling maggots.

As a result, the senior sister's airs were not supported, and her legs were frightened first.

"Thanks to Mr. Okiya for helping me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise I'm going to fall on the pig's head."

Mao Lilan finally couldn't help it, and cried softly with tears in her eyes.

Although regarding the fact that she almost fell on the pig's head, the real thing to be afraid of should be the bugs on the pig's head.

But I have to say that few people can ignore the tears of "Miss Angel".

In Okiya Subaru's originally businesslike expression, there was a touch of sincere concern.

Conan no longer cared about the green radar alarm.

Even Lin Xinyi, who personally forced Mao Lilan here, felt a little embarrassed:

"Miss Maori, come out and rest for a while."

"Hmm..." Mao Lilan snorted pitifully.

She clutched her chest, which had a strong nausea feeling, and walked towards the door with weak steps.

Conan subconsciously wanted to go up, but Okiya Subaru was already ahead of him, and thoughtfully supported Miss Mori:

"Miss Maori, let me caress you for a while."

"Thank you." Mao Lilan did not refuse.

Now she has no energy to pay attention to Conan's little face that quietly turns green.

So, under Conan's increasingly resentful gaze, Mao Lilan slowly left the laboratory with the support of Okiya Subaru, and found a place to sit outside.

"Huh..." Mao Lilan took off her mask and took a few breaths of fresh air, and her face turned slightly rosy.

And when the spirit calmed down a little, she looked at Lin Xinyi with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry..."

"I let you down."

"It's okay." Lin Xinyi comforted him: "It's like this for the first time, and you will get used to it after touching live maggots a few times."

Mao Lilan: "..."

She returned a smile with difficulty, then turned her head and cast a shameful look at Okiya Subaru:

"Mr. Okiya, I made you laugh."

"I originally wanted to show off in front of you, but in the end... I didn't perform as well as a newcomer like you."
