Chapter 171 You are surrounded by me

All you can ask has been asked.

Although it does not quite fit Conan's original intention of the question, from another perspective, he feels that he has gained a lot.

After parting with Shiraishi, Conan returned to Kogoro Mouri's ward.

The car was not fast yesterday, the uncle was not seriously injured, and he was not in a critical ward.

None of the other patients in the same room were in danger of life, and the atmosphere in the ward was barely considered harmonious.

There are several beds in the room, but only three are on it.

Kogoro Mouri was lying on the bed closest to the door. On his right hand, he was a cheerful old man who accidentally twisted his waist and loved to hold others to chat.

Going further into the hospital bed, a dull middle-aged man was asleep. According to the gossipy-loving old man, the middle-aged man was hospitalized because he was burned in a car accident a week ago.

The old man carried his hands on his back and hammered himself in his waist. He looked at Ran Maori and Conan enviously, feeling that this patient had both children and was very filial.

When he complained to Kogoro Mouri about no one coming to see him, a middle-aged social animal wearing glasses walked in.

This is the old man's only son.

He looked very haggard and said nothing when he entered the door. He walked straight to the old man and sat down, poured him warm water and let him drink medicine.

The old man took the water cup and medicine and laughed twice: "The little brat knows me quite well. I really haven't taken the medicine today."

When Conan heard this, he glanced at the pill box and recognized it as a drug for treating diabetes.

The old man did not blame his son for his bad expression. He knew that his son was under great pressure recently.

Conan habitually eavesdropped on the father and son’s chat, and soon learned that Quasugura’s good husband, the old man’s son, actually had a daughter who was in elementary school. But today, his daughter went to the swimming pool with her friends and did not come to visit her.

The old man felt a little regretful, but when he thought that it was natural for children to play, he was reluctant to force his son to call his granddaughter over, and then talked about work.

Ryoo Shinoguchi works in a bank. Last week, someone robbed their bank and the robbers have not been caught yet.

The old man complained about the police's low efficiency. Suddenly, he remembered the Maori Kogoro who had been joking with him in the next bed all morning and introduced him to his son with a smile:

"By the way, you can ask Mr. Maori, who is an excellent detective. Although his reputation is not very good, he has solved several unsolved cases, and maybe he will have some insights."

Ryoko Shinoguchi was just haggard, but after hearing the word "detective", his expression completely collapsed, and he laughed dryly twice in a desperate situation:

"I was hiding under the counter at that time, and I didn't see any clues, and it was useless to find a detective... By the way, Dad, I'll buy something for you. What else do you lack?"

"Nothing is needed! You can just come to see me a few more times." The old man sighed.

Conan stared at the back of Ryogo Shinogu's escape from the ward, pushed his glasses, and a reflection flashed across the lenses.

After turning around, before waiting for the sharp smile on her lips to last for too long, Conan saw Ran Mori suddenly get up. She quickly walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked out.

"...Sister Xiaolan?" Conan was stunned.

Ran Maori looked at it for a while before retracting his gaze and said in confusion: "I seemed to see a cat slipping through the window..."

"Cat? This is the third floor. You see a pigeon or a sparrow." Kogoro Mori raised his hands and just peeled the apple halfway through his hands. "I'll help me with it. It's not convenient for me to lie down."

"Okay." Ran Mori looked out a few more times, but still found nothing. Then she closed the window again, returned to Kogoro Mori's hospital bed, and picked up the paring knife.

...

As soon as Ryofu Shinoguchi left the ward, he encountered a team of policemen at the door.

After seeing him, the police officer in charge asked the middle-aged man who was burned about his condition, especially if anyone came to visit him.

Although the police did not ask such a reason, Ryogo Shinoguchi knew that the middle-aged man who was burned in the ward was one of the bandits who robbed his bank.

The police did not alarm the middle-aged man, and wanted to attract his accomplices to visit him, and then they all caught him.

After responding to the police's questions, Ryogo Shinoguchi left quickly.

This morning, after receiving a call from the "hospital staff", he brought his daughter to visit his father.

But as soon as he arrived nearby, the father and daughter were surrounded by several big men - these people were all robbers who robbed the bank that day.

The robbers were very well-informed for some reason. They came to the hospital today not to visit their accomplices who failed to escape successfully, but to kill and silence them.

For various reasons, Takashiro's good husband became the tool they chose.

Ryogo Shinoguchi lived so much that he was so big that he never dared to run a red light when crossing the smallest road. Now he suddenly wanted to commit murder under the noses of the police and a detective. Just thinking about this matter, he was so scared that his legs were weak.

But his daughter was taken away by one of the female robbers. If he didn't kill anyone, the robber would kill his daughter... This made Hiroshi Shinobu couldn't refuse.

After confirming the condition of the ward, after leaving the ward, Yoshifu Guankou came to the emergency passage as the big men said before.

Because he was too anxious when pushing the door, he tripped under his feet and rushed onto the door.

The door was hit by him and quickly slid towards the wall. Just as the gap between the door and the wall became narrower quickly. Before it was about to close, a black shadow came out of it. He turned his head and glanced coldly, and disappeared after a few steps along the stairs.

"..." Yoshiko Shizuku was startled by the shadow. After realizing that it was just an ordinary stray cat, he slowly came back to his senses.

He covered his violently beating heart and took several deep breaths.

A minute or two later, a tall Mediterranean man walked to him with a paper bag.

The robber opened the paper bag, took out a box of puffs and handed it to him.

The packaging of the puff box is not transparent, and when you weigh it, it is not the weight that the soft puff should have.

Yoshifu Shinogu's palm was sweating coldly, and he almost couldn't hold the box. He knew that there was actually a gun inside.

"We will handle the police's affairs well. As for the people in the same ward, your dad should have already drunk the sleeping pills you put on. It won't get in the way. The detective will leave the ward immediately and go to the hall to watch the idol program."

Speaking of this, the robber looked at his expression. After seeing that the Good Man at Guankou said "I don't want to do it anymore", he sneered:

"We arranged this well, you just need to shoot that fool to easily save your daughter. What can you hesitate about such a profit?"

These words were so angry that the good husband of Guankou wanted to fight with him.

But after looking at the other party's knotted muscles and thinking about his daughter who was taken to, he finally grabbed the "puff" in his hand.

The robber smiled proudly and knocked on his watch: "I will give you 13 minutes to adjust your expression and mentality and do it on time. Of course, you can also refuse, so that you can sit in the ward and appreciate your daughter falling from the rooftop, hahaha."

He smiled and pushed open the door of the stairwell and quickly left.

As soon as the robber's figure disappeared, Quasugu Yoshihiro fell on the steps and hugged his head dejectedly.

After a moment of silence, he remembered the requirement of "adjusting mentality", he took out his wallet and opened it, staring at the photo of the family of three in the transparent mezzanine, especially his innocent daughter in the middle.

However, let alone drawing the courage to kill people, the more he looked at him, the more he wanted to hug his head and cry.

Just when Shinoguchi Ryogo finally couldn't help but turn his head and was about to press the corner of his eyes, he suddenly felt that the environment was not right.

Yu Guangli, behind him...

It seems there is something?

Yoshifu Shinoguru froze and suddenly turned around and saw a cat and a fox standing side by side on the steps behind him, stretching his neck to look at the photos in his wallet...

“…”

Ryogo Shinoguchi blinked in confusion.

Forget about stray cats, why are there foxes here?

Is this a hospital or a zoo? Or is it that I was too nervous and had some hallucinations?

Ryoko Shinoguchi pressed his temple like a dream, then closed his eyes nervously and took a few deep breaths.

When I opened my eyes again, the steps behind me were empty.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "It was indeed an illusion..."
