Chapter 172 Professor Grave
After standing at the door and listening for a while, Kudo Shinichi glanced at the time on his watch, his eyes fell to the end of the corridor, and he quietly put away the chip and headphones.
The time is almost up. No matter what important information comes next, he can't stay here any longer.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Kudo Shinichi stood up straight and pretended to have just come out of the study. He walked back to his room slowly from under the surveillance camera.
As soon as he arrived at his room, Kudo Shinichi's rapidly beating heart finally slowed down a lot. He sat on the sofa and began to quickly organize his thoughts.
Gin is coming over soon to get rid of Green Chat.
Green Chat and the others are also trying to find a way to deal with it.
And there was Professor Grave, who, if he remembered correctly, was Haibara's teacher.
Oh no! I didn't expect Green Chat and the others to also target Professor Grave? Doesn't that mean both Huiyuan and the doctor are in danger?
Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists suddenly.
After they arrived in the United States, Kudo Shinichi came alone to meet with the public security and others to discuss disguise and concealment, while Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa went to Harvard to seek help from Professor Grave.
What no one expected was that Dr. Agasa actually had an invitation to an internal lecture at Harvard, which happened to be about biological research, and Professor Graves should also attend.
So Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai decided to ask Professor Grave a few questions on the day of the lecture and send out an invitation.
And the time of this lecture is today!
Kudo Shinichi calculated in his mind that if Haibara and the others had successfully invited Professor Grave, then there was a high probability that they were with Professor Grave now.
If Green Chat sends someone over now, wouldn't they just run into Huibara?
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately called Dr. Agasa.
Although Dr. Agasa should have fallen asleep at this time normally, it was different today. Dr. Agasa answered the phone quickly.
"Hello? Shinichi."
Dr. Agasa's cheerful voice came.
Kudo Shinichi: "Doctor, where are you now?"
Dr. Agasa turned his head and glanced at Huiyuan Ai and Grave in the laboratory: "We are now in Professor Grave's private research institute."
Because Kudo Shinichi is currently in short supply of medication, and Professor Grave became curious about the effects of this magical drug A after hearing Haibara Ai's request, the few of them hit it off and entered the laboratory that day to start working overtime on drug research.
Kudo Shinichi's heart skipped a beat. "How many people are there in this private research institute? What are the security measures?"
Dr. Agasa: “Huh?”
He looked around and said, "Because Drug A is quite special, there are only three of us in the institute today."
Oops!
"Dr. Agasa, listen to me. Professor Grave is being targeted. I think they'll send someone over soon. You should leave quickly and find a place to hide!"
"what?"
Dr. Agasa also panicked, "Is it someone from that organization?"
"Yes, they probably also want Professor Grave to study Drug A." Kudo Shinichi said anxiously, "Didn't Huibara say that many people in Green Chart know her? What if you happen to run into them——"
When Dr. Agasa heard this, he was so shocked that he ran over and said, "Ai, Professor Grave, we are in big trouble now. We need to move quickly!"
They both raised their heads at the same time.
Haibara Ai had already returned to her childish appearance, still wearing goggles on her face. Her expression was serious. Upon hearing this, she took off her goggles and asked in surprise, "What news did Kudo get?"
"The people from Green Chat have their eyes on Professor Grave and hope she can work in their research institute." Dr. Agasa explained the situation concisely.
Haibara Ai's face turned pale, and Professor Grave also frowned.
Professor Grave is over sixty years old, tall, with black hair. Apart from some traces of time at the corners of her eyes, she looks like a very intellectual and mature woman.
When Grave heard what Dr. Agasa said, she immediately thought of the gloomy period and her face looked unhappy.
"It's them again." Grave murmured softly.
People from that organization had tried to win her over before, but she rejected them all.
So Grave had a very difficult time during the period that followed.
First, she was reported by students for academic fraud, then her leader withheld experimental funds, and then her family was in danger. Her parents were in a car accident and suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Even so, Grave did not give in and resolutely rejected them.
Later, the people in the organization gave up and never looked for Grave again.
But the injuries were real. Grave rarely returned to the college to teach, and she opened her own research institute to conduct research on her own. Her parents also suffered from illnesses left in the car accident and died one after another in the past few years.
Grave never got married and remained alone, devoting all her energy to experiments.
Now that she heard the news about that organization again, Grave was filled with anger.
They actually dared to come!
Huiyuan Ai jumped off the stool and started to pack her things: "Teacher, let's leave first and talk to a safe place."
Grave also took off her goggles, her face stern. "They are so powerful. Since they've set their sights on me again, I think it won't matter where I flee to."
"We have to try." Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the phone.
Obviously, he also heard their conversation.
"Professor Grave, don't worry. This organization has been targeted by the FBI. If you feel scared, you can ask the FBI for help. I have their contact information here." Kudo Shinichi said very quickly.
This time, even though Huiyuan Ai didn't like the FBI, she had to admit that seeking their protection was the best option. She pulled Professor Grave and said seriously, "Yes, they can definitely protect you. I'll contact them for you right away—"
"No thanks." Grave refused directly.
Grave's attitude was something neither Kudo Shinichi nor Haibara Ai had expected.
They didn't understand why Professor Grave chose to stay despite all the circumstances.
"Teacher, they are really scary. You should come with us!"
Haibara Ai held Grave's hand tightly, with pleading in her eyes.
At this moment, she thought of her parents and sister.
Professor Grave was also a very good person to her. She helped her a lot during her study abroad and was both a teacher and a friend to her.
Haibara Ai no longer has any relatives, and she doesn't want anyone who is kind to her to be hurt or even die.
"It's okay." Grave smiled brightly and rubbed Haibara Ai's head. "Didn't you say that the complete research of Drug A is being organized? They invited me, so I'll go and see what Drug A is. It has killed so many people and turned our Shiho into what she is now."
Haibara Ai was stunned. She had never thought that this was Grave's idea. She was deeply moved, but then she immediately retorted worriedly: "No, teacher, it's very dangerous there. There's always an in and no out. If you go there, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay. Aren't you the ones who can contact the FBI?" Grave's eyes sparkled with wisdom, her expression remained calm, without even the slightest fear or panic.
"—I have a plan. Maybe I can have a good talk with those FBI agents."
