I have an arrangement with the police. Which, strictly speaking I wasn't supposed to show you any of this.

So, we have an unidentified organism inside the dust-or several organisms trying to stabilise. Your thoughts?

Conan was suddenly suspicious.

"Mind giving me any of the details on this arrangement?"

He frowns as he reviews what he knew about parasites. It wasn't lot. Parasites were not particularly likely to be used in murders, so his studies there had been rather cursory.

"To survive, a parasite needs something that only a host can provide, correct? Have you determined what that is yet?"
