But you are just avoiding the non-aging issue.. this is not a supernatural manga, so this things don't happen just because it is how it is.. and until Gosho decides to tell us how is it that vermouth managed to stop aging, we will keep thinking of different "solutions" or possible paths; one of which is this.

Ho ! I see what you mean ! I myself, when I was 17 years old, lived as a 7 year old boy for few months after eating a mixture of red wine and saucages (which is way more cool than the mentos + pepsi because it makes you being younger rather than just create jeysers of pepsi).
Yeah, clearly, it's not a supernatural manga when it's about aging and deaging...

But Dcfan01 is right about Conan not being a "supernatural manga". Shrinking is pure fantasy, but the genre of Detective Conan is mystery, and classic/golden age-style mystery at that. It's not supernatural like Magic Kaito where Gosho can add witches, immortality gems, and sentient robots without justification. Even though a few of the premises of Detective Conan are not realistic, they are rule bound. Dcfan01 was pointing out that having supernatural elements doesn't preclude adherence to the rules of conventional mystery logic. Where Akako needs no justification for being a witch in MK because that is the type of supernatural story MK is, Vermouth must have a reason for not aging and creating Chris because DC is a mystery manga and that is how things are done in mystery series.

Yes, I was beeing needlessly sarcastic about that point for the sake of the humorous formulation. I understood what Dcfan01 tried to say here : for example I don't expect DC case ending by "I was just a real ghost/vampire".
I just wanted to point out the fact that as long as there is a drug that can shrink body from 17 years old to 7 years old, having a drug that goal, or side effect is to stop aging or to mix up with aging process should not be consided as supernatural here.
