Chapter 245 Summer
"Miraculous you!" Ze Yu cursed again: "You old man, you are so bad!"

"Yes, I'm bad." Rentaro seemed to have recognized the reality and said happily.

His attitude was not like dealing with an old friend, but rather like dealing with a child.

"What's your attitude? Are you trying to please a child?" Ze Yu said unhappily, "You should know that I'm old enough to be your ancestor!"

"I know..." A hint of sigh and envy appeared in Rentaro's eyes.

"In fact, I envy you very much. You have always been so young and don't have to worry about getting old. No matter how long you live, you can always keep a young mentality..."

"Perhaps this is the gap between mortals and elves? As a human being, who wouldn't envy you?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ze Yu scolded with a smile: "Your daughter has contacted a great detective. In a while, they will solve the mystery and come to find you."

"Are you ready?" Ze Yu looked at his old friend helplessly.

This guy Rentaro is so naughty. He is already old, but still likes to play so much.

Even Dr. Agasa is not as naughty as him.

Rentaro knew that he was seriously ill and would not live long, but he and his wife secretly found a place to hide and pretended to be kidnapped.

His manuscripts were sent via fax every month. He left a lot of clues in his articles, hoping that someone could decipher these clues and find the answer right in front of him.

That is the greatest affirmation for him.

However, Rentaro waited for more than two months, but that person never showed up.

Ze Yu knew that person was Conan.

However, if we want Conan to arrive here, we have to wait for a while, and in the original work, the new Rentaro can't hold on until that time.

In other words, if Ze Yu ignored him, he would die alone and would not see the person who solved the mystery before he died.

In the end, he died with regret.

Sawaha could understand Rentaro's thoughts, but that didn't stop him from scolding Rentaro and calling him a fool.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Rentaro's wait is not worth it, but for Rentaro himself, it is of great significance.

Perhaps, this is what a detective novelist insists on?

Ze Yu shook his head.

"Oh? Is my daughter coming to see me?" Rentaro's eyes lit up and he said happily, "It doesn't matter if my puzzle is solved by a detective. Although he may not be my reader, the person who can solve this puzzle, no matter who he is, will get my respect and recognition."

"Don't flatter yourself." Ze Yu looked disdainful and said, "We'll have to wait a few more hours until they arrive. Can you hold on until then?"

"Maybe... I can't hold on?"

Rentaro said this with some uncertainty, and at this point he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Don't you feel regretful? You couldn't even see your daughter before you died."

"Of course it's a pity, but what can I do?" Rentaro shook his head slightly, as if he was laughing at himself.

"Who said there is no way? Here, eat this, and you will at least be a few years younger, and the cancer will be cured. You won't be like now, where you may die at any time." Ze Yu took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, opened the cap, and poured out a small green pill.

This is a concentrated small pill made from the liquid of 'Potion No. X3', and the efficacy of the medicine has been weakened. But even so, each pill contains rich vitality.

Although taking one pill cannot make people rejuvenate, as Ze Yu said, it is not a problem to be a few years younger and cure cancer at the same time.

Although it is impossible to completely cure cancer, it can at least have a good therapeutic effect and may even suppress cancer to its early symptoms.

Once cancer recovers from the late stage to the early stage, it is no longer too fatal. Any hospital with better technology can treat it, and it may even be possible to cure cancer completely.

After taking this little pill, Rentaro can at least live a few more years. If treated properly, even living a few decades longer would not be a problem.

Enough to last until his daughter arrived.

"Is there a medicine that can restore youth or even cure cancer?" Rentaro was stunned for a moment and was a little tempted, but in the end he shook his head and rejected Ze Yu's kindness.

Rentaro knew that Ze Yu was a very powerful person and he would not lie. Since he could come up with such a magical medicine, the effect must be real.

For a person in the advanced stage of cancer, struggling on the line between life and death, it is impossible not to be tempted by such a drug.

But in the end, Rentaro still refused cruelly.

His reason overcame his desire. "Although I don't know if these drugs have any side effects, an ordinary person like me shouldn't be eligible to enjoy such precious drugs, right?"

"If I take this medicine, it would be such a waste. It should be used on those more important people than me, so that it can be put to good use..."

"Hey, why do you talk so much nonsense?" Ze Yu impatiently pried open his mouth and threw the small green pill directly into it.

"I told you to eat it, so you just have to eat it! What kind of man are you if you keep making excuses?"

Ze Yu's actions were too rough. Rentaro's eyes widened. He choked and finally swallowed the pill.

The little pill was very effective. It melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that flowed into his whole body.

Rentaro was surprised to find that he seemed to have gradually regained some strength, and a new vitality appeared in his body.

Even cancer was effectively treated. Not only did it stop spreading, but a large number of cancer cells were killed and then replaced by new normal cells.

Even some tumors disappeared automatically.

The cancer cells in Rentaro's body were like a defeated dog that had lost its battle. They continued to fail and appeared a little listless, and were suppressed by the body's immune system.

Although these cancer cells were not completely killed, they have returned to their early size and are not threatening to be fatal for the time being.

And those cancer cells that are killed will be excreted from the body by Rentaro through metabolism.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably have diarrhea every day for a while.

After taking the pill, Rentaro's cancer was cured and he was no longer in the dying state he was before. He looked at least ten years younger and had regained a lot of vitality.

Of course, in reality, he was only a few years younger. The reason why the change was so great was that cancer had tortured him to make him look older than his actual age, and his appearance did not match his actual age.

And now, this is his normal appearance.

Rentaro regained his strength. He was surprised to pick up the mirror beside the bed and looked at it. He found that his gray hair had become a little darker.

Although it doesn't look obvious, this is Rentaro's own body. His body has changed, how could he not know?
"Okay, now you can continue to live and live longer." Ze Yu turned around and left his back to Rentaro.

"I'm not trying to help you. I'm only doing this for your daughter's sake."

"She wanted to see you before you died. I came here because of her filial piety."

Ze Yu's tone was quite proud.

"Yu, thank you."

Rentaro didn't say anything extra, just a simple thank you, but his tone seemed particularly sincere.

Ze Yu was slightly stunned, then snorted: "Damn old thing, you'll have to live until your daughter appears in front of you, goodbye!"

After saying this, he left without hesitation.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Rentaro gave a helpless smile.

"You are still so proud..."

Rentaro shook his head and laid back down.

After a while...

Conan led a group of people and rushed in. Inspector Megure shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone inside, surrender!"

Rentaro lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Officer, I have not been kidnapped. I am fine now."

"Let me see, which lucky person solved my puzzle? It seems to be a detective..."

Rentaro was full of energy, looking directly at everyone present, guessing thoughtfully about the identity of the detective.

His eyes moved away from Kogoro Mouri and then stopped on Conan.

…………

Sawaha walked out of the Haido Town Hotel and looked at the sky quietly.

It is summer.
