Jiang Xia looked somewhat surprised. "What method?"
Haibara Ai hesitated. Thinking that she couldn't reveal Anonymous's involvement, she had no choice but to take everything upon herself. "I accidentally made a one-time antidote, and he found out about it..."

Jiang Xia shook his head. "Reasoning alone
