Chapter 227 New Potion
Subaru Okiya put his left hand on his glasses and pushed them gently. His expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "Probably not. I have been focusing on research at school until recently and only moved here. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that I would know someone who has already started working."
A hint of subtle vigilance flashed across Okiya Subaru's eyes, but on the surface he remained calm and composed. "I wonder if Mr. Bai Shu still remembers where you have seen someone similar to me?"
"Really?" Bai Shu replied with a smile, not making any comment. "Nothing, I just thought Mr. Okiya's figure was very similar to a patient of mine some time ago (Bai Shu once treated Akai Shuichi's wound). It's rare to see someone with such a similar figure, so I asked out of curiosity. If it weren't for the fact that your hair color and appearance are not the same, I would really think you are related."
"It's a pity that I can't see Mr. Okiya's eye color clearly. If your eyes are also green, then you might really be related by blood." Bai Shu added.
Conan's heart tightened when he heard this.
The person who had a similar body shape to Okiya Subaru that Bai Shu just mentioned was obviously Akai Shuichi.
Are all doctors so perceptive? How come he was able to connect Okiya Subaru and Akai Shuichi after just one encounter?
"It seems that Brother Bai Shu has misunderstood. But the world is so big, there are many people who look similar. It's not surprising." Conan interrupted, trying to divert Bai Shu's attention.
Okiya Subaru nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, this world is really full of wonders." Bai Zhu glanced at Conan with amusement.
Conan is still a little impatient because of his youth. Look at Subaru Okiya, he can remain calm even when talking to this point.
Bai Zhu continued with emotion, "Besides, you have one thing in common - you are all left-handed, so I couldn't help but ask. Of course, maybe it's just a coincidence.
Hearing this, Okiya Subaru's eyes tightened slightly. He didn't expect Bai Shu to notice this detail of his. Did he discover it because of the subconscious action of pushing up his glasses just now?
But he still smiled casually and explained: "Actually, this is just my personal habit. Maybe some people are born to like to do things with their left hand. However, I believe there are many people in the world who are left-handed like me. After all, this is not a rare feature."
Bai Shu nodded, as if accepting Okiya Subaru's explanation. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked curiously as if jokingly, "By the way, how did Mr. Okiya know that I have started working? I think that compared to you, from the outside, I should give people the feeling of being a student."
"Oh, just looking at Mr. Baishu's behavior, he doesn't look like he's still in school." Okiya Subaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, "And I just heard Mr. Baishu say to the little girl next to him..." He looked at Haibara Ai who was using Conan to block her body, "...claimed to be a doctor, so..."
Bai Shu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "I see. But Mr. Okiya is quite amazing. He noticed what I just said even from a distance."
Okiya Subaru smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliment. It may be because I am good at observation."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Okiya Subaru observed Bai Shu calmly, and in his heart he was also trying to guess the other party's intention behind his words just now, whether it was unintentional or he discovered some flaw.
Several children from the Junior Detective Team stood beside Bai Shu, with confusion and doubt in their eyes. They listened quietly to the conversation between Bai Shu and Okiya Subaru, but could not understand the deeper meaning.
It was not until the conversation between the two ended that the children came to their senses and could not wait to refocus their attention on the incident.
Haibara looked at Okiya Subaru with a vigilant look, then grabbed Conan's clothes, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of Officer Yumiya.
Conan was obediently pulled away by Haibara, but his eyes fell thoughtfully on Okiya Subaru, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

"It's so rare to see you in the lab." Cointreau walked into the lab and sighed as he looked at Elhaisen who seemed to be doing experiments seriously.
"There's nothing I can do. Someone was not satisfied with the results I submitted some time ago and forced me to participate in the activities of the action team." Elhaisen replied without raising his head.
"In order to reduce this unnecessary trouble, I decided to work a little harder recently, but I have no clue yet." As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of strange-colored liquid on the table and shook it.
He glanced at Cointreau, put down the potion in his hand that had little effect, leaned back to the seat, put force on his feet, turned the chair towards Cointreau, and asked, "What's the matter? What do you want from me?"
"I think this is a good opportunity to give you a research idea." Cointreau walked to Elhaisen, leaned on the lab table, and said in a relaxed tone: "As far as I know, disguise masks usually use similar materials. I came here this time hoping that you can help make a potion that can dissolve the disguise mask."
Elhaisen raised an eyebrow but did not answer immediately.
Cointreau seemed to see Elhaisen's hesitation, so he further explained: "It's the kind of potion that once sprayed on, the disguise mask on the face will have the same effect as the clothes disappearing instantly."
