Chapter 549 - An Insurmountable Gap

"Possibly," Chiba nodded. "In this way, it is understandable that so many drug-resistant bacteria have appeared."

"Are you suspicious of them?" After glancing around, confirming that there was no way that anyone nearby could hear what they were saying, Gray Plains said softly.

"Do you know any clues?" Qian Yu also replied softly. "If you know, it's very suspicious, if you don't know...... The suspicion is still very ......"

"They won't re-domesticate the existing devils," Gray Yuan immediately shook his head. "It's one of the few rules of steel in the organization, and those who study it can't open Pandora's box, not even try."

"Is that so...... Chiba smacked her lips. That's fine, if it's really what they do......"

Speaking of this, Qian Yu sighed. "I can only say, it's okay......"

If these bacteria were really the result of tissue research, then Qian Yu really didn't know who he should favor - logically speaking, he should be against the organization, but from the bottom of his heart......

"Where does Edogawa sleep today?" Gray Yuan asked suddenly. "Are you still on the Maori detectives' side?"

"Probably," Chiba nodded. "I didn't see him bring things over after dinner. What's the matter, continue to walk around this airship together tonight? ”

"It's okay to go to the airship or something," Gray Yuan shook his head. "It's too dark, it's not good to see the road."

"Okay," Chiba nodded. "Then I'll go out on my own later."

"Whatever," Gray Hara glanced at him. "You can see it clearly from the outside anyway."

…………

About half an hour later, Chiba was lying on the bed, continuing the unfinished body armor design.

If the final shape is integrated, it should be able to be sent to the merchant, and then the body armor should be able to be sent in quickly......

At this moment, there was a knock on Chiba's door.

It doesn't look like Gray Plains is in the style of mourning - if it were her, she would have texted her first.

"Who?" Qian Yu frowned slightly, sat up and asked.

"That's ......me," a timid voice came from outside the door.

“???” A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Chiha's face - because if he heard him correctly, the owner of this voice was Ayumi Yoshida.

Opening the door, Chiba looked at the timid Ayumi in front of him suspiciously. "You...... Can I help you? ”

"I'd like to talk to you." Ayumi nodded and said.

"And me?" Qian Yu hesitated slightly. "What are you talking about?"

"Hmm......" Ayumi glanced out the door with some hesitation, then walked in and closed the door.

"What are you going to do?" Qian Yu was stunned.

"That ......," Ayumi said, standing in the doorway, struggling for a moment. That one...... How did you become so knowledgeable? ”

"Huh?" Qianyu was even more confused. "This ...... What does this do, you ask? ”

"Because ......," Ayumi said. When I listened to Uncle Fujioka and he told me about the previous things, only you, Xiao Ai and Conan could understand. In the past, too, we couldn't understand the topics you three were talking about...... So, I wonder how you guys got so knowledgeable......"

"......" Chiba looked at Ayumi quite nervously, and probably had an idea in her heart. You want to be as smart as Conan, don't you? Or do you at least want to have a common language with him? ”

"Hmm!" After being broken by a thousand feathers, Ayumi nodded vigorously. "So Chiba, why are you so knowledgeable?"

"Uh......" Qian Yu said after thinking for a moment. This isn't something like this that can help, I need to ask a question first – why are you doing this? Is it because you like Conan? ”

"Yes." Ayumi was silent for a moment before nodding. "I love Conan."

"So, you want to be able to communicate with him, right?" Qian Yu asked again.

"Yes." Ayumi nodded. "That's why I want to be as knowledgeable as you."

"That's not the problem," Qian Yu smiled and shook her head. "Knowledge may be a good thing, but it doesn't help you get any closer to Conan."

"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned.

"You'd notice that Conan was smarter and more knowledgeable than many adults, wasn't he?" Thousand feathers spread their hands. "Even in a situation where many adults are often helpless, Conan will be able to see through the overall situation."

"Yes." Ayumi nodded.

"In other words, Conan's erudition is beyond those of normal adults," Chiba continued. "But do you think Conan is going to be more difficult to get along with than normal adults?"

"No, it won't." Ayumi immediately shook her head. "Adults are so weird, or Conan is better to get along with."

"In other words, the distance between you and Conan does not come from knowledge, otherwise you would not think that Conan is easier to get along with than adults," Qian Yu still had a faint smile on his face. "The distance between you and him is in other ways."

"Anything else?" Ayumi blinked. "Conan seems to like Sister Xiaolan, is it because of this?"

"Hmm......" Qian Yu raised his eyebrows. How do you see that? ”

Chiba knew about it, but not because he could see it from his daily life, but because he knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Shinichi had a rather unusual relationship with Mao Lilan.

But if that's the case, there's one more reason to convince Ayumi.

"If Conan already likes Sister Xiaolan, are you sure you want to try to date Conan?" Conan asked. "He already has someone he likes!"

"But doesn't Sister Xiaolan like Brother Shinichi?" Ayumi replied immediately. "In that case, what's the point of Conan liking Sister Lan?"

"......" Qian Yu showed a somewhat helpless expression. This ......"

If Conan can like Moriran when he likes Shinichi Kudo, then Ayumi likes Conan when Conan likes Moriran.

But...... Conan likes Maoliran because he can achieve positive results as long as he changes back, but Ayumi can't be liked by Conan anyway......

"To be reasonable, I don't think you can succeed," Qian Yu said helplessly. "Really, I don't think it's likely."

"Why......" Ayumi pursed her lips, her voice quite aggrieved. Can you tell me where the gap between me and Conan is...... If I'm not good enough, I can learn knowledge and practice my talents; I can think a lot if I'm not steady enough, but you should always be able to give me a piece of advice on what I need to work on, right? ”

This one...... It's not like a problem that can be solved by some effort, Ayumi-san......

Chiba looked at Ayumi with a wry smile.
