"I feel a little dizzy. Am I suffering from hypoglycemia? When you guys ran out, I was going to follow you, but I lost consciousness not long after leaving the house..." Chu Ming shook his head, as if this would help him wake up a little. He looked a little embarrassed, "I guess I didn't eat well these days. How embarrassing."
"It's not hypoglycemia, Chu Ming brother, you were attacked." Shinichi spoke softly, frowning, "Did you feel anything strange before you fainted? Like smelling something or something."
Chu Ming thought about it carefully and said, "No, I just felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and then I don't remember anything."
Hattori clenched his right fist and pounded it into his palm: "Yes, that's the feeling, I felt the same way at that time!"
"Then it seems that Granburch was the one who did it." Shinichi pinched the note in his pocket. Helping Granburch was no different from trying to get the skin of a tiger or drinking poison to quench thirst. He had to think of a way.
"Granburch? Why are you talking about him suddenly? Did you just meet him?" Chu Ming pretended to be surprised, and then looked worried, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Hattori shook his head and looked at Shinichi: "I suddenly fainted later, and I'm not sure whether I escaped. Kudo, did that Granburch do anything to you?"
"No, I just made a deal with me." Shinichi looked at Chu Ming and suddenly remembered something, "Brother Chu Ming, I remember you have a friend in Mihua Hospital?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Ming frowned, "Or are you injured?"
"It's not me, it's Xiaolan. I want to take her for a checkup, but I don't want her to notice anything. Can you ask Dr. Watanabe to help get a physical examination card or something like that? I'll send it to her in the name of winning the prize." Shinichi's eyes flashed with pain. He raised his hands to cover his face, squatted on the ground, and looked a little depressed. "Granburch said that he placed a nano bomb in Xiaolan's body."
Shinichi has always been worried about the nano bomb that Granburch mentioned. He is not at all at ease with such a killing weapon remaining in Xiaolan's body.
Although the hope is slim, Shinichi doesn't want Xiaolan's life to be in the hands of such a madman.
Chapter 658: Can you come up with such a reason?
After the three of them sat in the room and talked in detail, Hattori looked at Shinichi with a worried look in his eyes: "Why did that Granburch want to investigate the people who appeared next to you?"
"I'm not sure either, I just have some guesses." Shinichi crossed his fingers and placed them on his knees, frowning, "Granburch didn't kill me, maybe because he didn't want to waste me as a test subject for the survival of the APTX4869 drug, so he will help cover my identity."
"Then the person who appeared next to me is most likely also from that organization, and is someone who is suspicious of my identity. Granburch is most likely using me to eliminate those who are different from him in that organization."
Chu Ming listened to Shinichi's guess and gave a thumbs up to his imagination.
This is a good reason. The famous detective is quite good at making excuses and brainwashing himself.
As long as it is hinted that the person he is going to report to Granburch is also a bad guy in that organization, he won't feel guilty, right?
But Chu Ming still looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and his heart and eyes were full of concern for him: "Then you must be careful recently. After all, some things can only be relied on by yourself now."
Chu Ming took out his phone and created a new group chat on SIDE, dragging Shinichi and Hattori into it: "If there's any news, we can chat here. Don't worry, I'll ask the engineers to set our group chat security to the highest level when I get back, and no one else will be able to see what we chat about in there."
Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he handed the SIDE number that Granburch had stuffed into his pocket to Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, can you check this number? This is what Granburch gave me before. Can you see if you can find any information in the background?"
Chu Ming took back the note that he had slipped to Shinichi himself, and said righteously, "Okay, I'll have someone investigate quietly right away."
Shinichi nodded, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to be involved in this kind of thing..."
"Don't you think this is too formal? We are all brothers, why are you arguing about this? If something happened to us, would you just stand by and watch?"
Chu Ming's words were passionate. If one could see the favorability rating, Shinichi's favorability rating would probably be rising up up up...
Thinking about examining Xiaolan, the few of them did not stay here for long and planned to leave that day.
*
After everything was packed up, Xiaolan stood aside and looked at Shinichi with surging emotions in her eyes, full of complexity.
Before, she and Kazuha went to a cabin in the mountains. The moment she opened the door, a cloud of fog hit her face and she fainted instantly. When she woke up, she saw Shinichi sitting next to her. Almost at the moment she opened her eyes, Xiaolan's intuition told her that this was the real Shinichi.
But she always felt something was wrong.
I didn't have time to think about it carefully before because I was worried about Shinichi's safety, but now I have time to think about it carefully, and I always feel that something is wrong.
Every time Hattori talks to Conan, she always mentions Kudo. Although she always tries to cover it up, she is no longer deaf after a long time. In addition, this time, everyone was very anxious because Conan was missing, but the moment she saw Shinichi, Hattori suddenly remembered that Conan had told him to go back first.
As a detective, how could Hattori not remember such a thing?
Xiaolan just didn't want to say anything, but she was not a fool. Before, she would ask directly when she had questions, but after asking a few times and Conan kept colluding with others to try to dispel her doubts, she stopped asking.
Since they're hiding it from her, she'll just check it out herself!
Shinichi noticed Xiaolan's inquiring gaze and felt a sharp edge on his back.
He tried to say something to divert Xiaolan's attention, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if there was a fire burning in his heart. Every beat was so painful that he could not stand.
He staggered against the car, holding his hand tightly against his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Xiaolan supported him and touched Shinichi's forehead with trembling fingers. The heat of her fingertips made her exclaim: "It's so hot, Shinichi, you have a fever!"
She remembered that every time Shinichi left without saying goodbye, it seemed like today, his body suddenly felt so painful that he couldn't stand up, and then he left before she could understand what was going on...
Realizing that the antidote he had taken was about to expire, Shinichi leaned against the car, enduring the severe pain, gasping for breath. He tried to force a smile to comfort Xiaolan, but waves of pain came over him, and his smile turned into a grin.
Hattori knew something was wrong, and quickly stepped forward to support Shinichi and cover for him: "He, uh, he has a stomachache! Yes, yes, he has a stomachache and needs to go to the bathroom! I'll help him go, and brother Chu Ming, can you help bring some clothes over? Kudo has sweated too much and is soaked."
Knowing what Hattori meant, Chu Ming nodded, took his suitcase from the car and followed them into the bathroom.
As soon as Shinichi entered, he sat on the ground exhausted. Chu Ming opened the suitcase. He usually put his things in the system backpack, so most of the suitcase was empty. "When you become smaller, I will put you in the suitcase and take you out. Then I will say that I need to go on a business trip and go separately with the uncle and the others. As for your whereabouts, Hattori will help cover it up."
Shinichi responded softly, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Heiji, you—" Kazuha quietly poked her head in from outside and asked eagerly, "Did Kudo-kun finish using the toilet?"
Hattori was startled by the sudden sound. He pushed Shinichi into a cubicle and closed the door. Then he turned around and complained, "Wakaba? What are you doing! Idiot! This is the men's room!"
Seeing that only Chu Ming and a few others were in the bathroom, He Ye walked two more steps inside with confidence. Behind her followed Xiaolan, and behind them followed Maori Kogoro and the doctor they had just found.
Hattori took the lead and raised his hand to slowly push the few people out: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, Kudo is much better now, I just gave him medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heart-wrenching scream came from the cubicle, and the sound was so long that it echoed in the toilet.
Xiaolan's face changed, and she immediately pushed away Hattori's hand and rushed in: "Shinichi, are you okay, Shinichi?"
Hattori followed behind and tried to continue to stop them: "It's really okay, this is the men's room, Xiaolan, why don't you go out and wait for a while?"
"How can he be okay? He was shouting so loudly in there just now." Maori Kogoro was also a little worried and walked up from behind, "Xiaolan, this kid is right. This is the men's restroom. It's not convenient for you. I'll go in and take a look."
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Hattori looked at Chu Ming for help. His eyes blinked as if he had a cramp, signaling Chu Ming to hurry up, as he couldn't hold on any longer.
Chu Ming coughed lightly and stopped in front of Maori Kogoro: "Hey, uncle, Shinichi is taking a shit. He was constipated and couldn't poop. He shouted to help himself. Now he heard you guys come in, he was too embarrassed to say anything. How could he feel comfortable going in with so many of you?"
Hattori was stunned behind, looking at Chu Ming with shock.
Can you think of such a reason?
Chapter 659: Employment Benefits
On the other side, Shinichi, who was still in the bathroom, had become Conan. He also heard Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro saying that they were going to come in to check. While he was still panicking and thinking about how to deal with it, he heard Chu Ming throwing dirty water on him.
What is this?
Although the effect can indeed be said to be immediate, even Kogoro Mouri was shocked by this reason and no longer thought about going in, but once such words were said, his future image would be ruined!
His reputation!!!
After successfully stopping several people, Chu Ming continued: "How about we go out and wait? After all, it would be weird to tell others that everyone is waiting at the toilet door for Shinichi to poop..."
After hearing what Chu Ming said, Maori Kogoro turned around and left first, pulling Xiaolan with him, muttering: "What's wrong with this? Why are you so excited about going to the toilet? Do you have to mobilize yourself before going? This brat seems to have done this kind of thing before, tut tut tut."
Several people filed out, and Chu Ming and Hattori were left in the bathroom again.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on Shinichi's compartment door: "Come out, let Chu Ming take you away first as we agreed just now. I can just use Chu Ming's excuse from before and say that you are shy and feel very embarrassed to leave first."
'Squeak—'
The cubicle door was pushed open, and Conan poked his head out furtively, his previous clothes still loosely on his body: "Are they all out?"
Chu Ming was a little confused. Looking at Conan who had turned into a child, he asked, "Why didn't you turn back? Didn't Xiao Ai and the doctor give you the antidote just now?"
"Ah?" Conan was stunned. Why did they suddenly mention the doctor and Ai? "They are here too?"
Chu Ming raised his hand and knocked on the toilet door next to Conan, urging him: "Don't watch the fun, if they come in again later, we won't be able to stop them."
Conan stared blankly as the door next to him opened, and Ai and the Doctor walked out slowly with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
"Doctor, Haibara? Why are you here?" Conan was holding up his sleeves which were too long and pulling up his collar which was falling down, his two hands were busy all the time.
"Luckily the doctor remembered your hotel, and we happened to meet Brother Chu Ming. He said that if you have to change back and have nowhere to go, you will definitely go to the bathroom, so we hid here at the right time, waiting for you." Huihara Ai looked at Conan with a teasing look on her face: "But we didn't expect that you would have to shout when you go to the bathroom?"
Conan's eyes widened with a look of grief and indignation. It was true that good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide. Would the shouting he did in the toilet become a dark history that he could not get rid of in the future?
Haibara and the doctor came all the way here just to refill his antidote. After Conan finished taking it and turned back into Shinichi, Haibara told him repeatedly that the same antidote would produce drug resistance. The effect of the previous pill would be greatly reduced, and it might not even be half as effective.
However, looking at Shinichi who left the bathroom excitedly, it was obvious that he did not take these words to heart.
After Shinichi ran out and was met with everyone's strange looks, he came back to his senses from his excitement, gave himself psychological hints over and over again, and then returned to the crowd as if nothing had happened.
On the way back, because there were two more people, Chu Ming and Shinichi, Kogoro Maori specially rented a bigger car. Everyone squeezed together and the car was just big enough to fit everyone.
Chu Ming made a prompt decision and chose the front passenger seat, leaving the back seat to the two couples. This way he had plenty of room to sit and didn't have to squeeze in between them and act like a third wheel.
However, Kogoro Mori was a little unhappy. He would peek through the rearview mirror from time to time to see if Shinichi Kudo dared to do anything secretly to his well-behaved and lovely daughter in front of his old father.
The piercing gaze seemed to be substantial as it fell on him. Shinichi could not help but shudder. He silently withdrew his hand that he had deliberately reached out to Xiaolan, and at the same time turned his gaze to the outside of the car window, trying to prove his innocence in this way.
This glance made him realize that something was wrong.
At this moment, a car in front was speeding forward, rubbing against the guardrail, and the friction between the car door and the guardrail almost produced sparks.
"Uncle, there's something wrong with the car in front!" In order to divert Maori Kogoro's attention, Shinichi said decisively, "Is the driver asleep? Let's catch up and remind him?"
Kogoro Mouri snorted coldly, stepped on the accelerator decisively, drove to the side of the car and honked the horn desperately, but it was useless. The driver was with his head down, his hands hanging down, and he didn't react at all to the car's loss of control.
"Something happened. Uncle, drive the car in front of him! And then slow down slowly!" Shinichi leaned his head out, observing the situation of the car next to him, while directing Kogoro Mouri to help stop the car.
"Drive in front? But this is the car I just rented. It's one of the few cars left that are willing to rent to me!" Kogoro Mouri wailed, but his actions were not slow. He stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and slowly forced the out-of-control car to stop.
Officer Megure, who had previously handled a case in Higashi Okuho Village, had originally come back with Mori and the others. When he saw this scene, he also stopped the car and prepared to get out of the car to check the situation. It can be said that he responded at the speed of light.
Chu Ming glanced at the rearview mirror, hid in his pocket, typed a message blindly, and sent it quietly.
As soon as the car here was forced to stop, several cars stopped one after another behind it.
Qing Duanlizi is one of them.
She saw the car being forced to stop urgently, so she parked her car at the back and ran over.
While no one was around, she shook the dead man and quietly collected the fishing line she had used to kill him. In order to conceal her whereabouts, she anxiously said, "Jun Ping, are you okay? Jun Ping, Qun Ping!"
Just as she was secretly proud of this and was about to secretly hide the thread in her pocket, a hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped her arm: "Miss, it doesn't seem right to be so anxious to destroy the evidence, right?"
Qing Duanlizi's eyes widened, her heart pounding like a drum for a moment. She looked at the blond man who suddenly appeared beside her, and was speechless for a long time.
Because Hattori lent his hat to Shinichi, the two of them got out of the car a little slowly. As a result, before they could understand the situation, the case was solved in an instant.
