Chapter 18 REBIRTH: 10D
018
"Please wait a moment, there's no need to call a doctor, I'm fine. Ahem!"
Miyama Asato hurriedly called out to the girl named "Wa Ye", but couldn't help coughing twice. His pale skin was stained with an unhealthy flush caused by excessive asthma, making him look a little sick.
The image of cherry blossoms flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind at an inopportune time, brief but beautiful.
He shook his head to get rid of this unlucky thought, looking even more excited than Miyama Chaodeng himself who was vomiting blood: "How can I not go to the doctor! The human body is very fragile. Even if it is just a little discomfort at the beginning, it may become a terminal illness if you delay and refuse to see a doctor in the later stage. And your discomfort is not just a little discomfort, you are vomiting blood, brother!"
Hattori Heiji's Kansai accent was like a machine gun firing at the social phobia. For a moment, Miyama Asato really felt like he was being attacked, especially since what the other party said hit the nail on the head.
...But he's really fine. He's not the kind of person who would joke about his own body. He just looks scary. He really doesn't feel any pain at all!
Miyama Asato looked away with some embarrassment. In Hattori Heiji's eyes, the other party completely disagreed with what he said and coldly refused to communicate with him.
Hattori Heiji scratched his hair. It was the first time he met this type of person. He was also a little worried about what the man had just said, "Conan was taken away by someone."
"I'm really fine." The other party's cold voice came over, and you didn't need to look to know that the other party must have a blank expression at this moment.
Hattori Heiji was instantly irritated and tried to drag him away forcefully: "It's no use if you say it's okay, we need a doctor's opinion first..."
"Officer Yushan?"
As the two were struggling, someone suddenly called Miyama Chaodeng's name from behind. They both turned their heads at the same time. A young man with light pink hair looked at them in surprise. His narrow eyes behind the glasses quickly smiled and said, "You're here. We're looking for you over there."
His attitude was so natural that Miyama Chaodeng couldn't tell whether he was helping him to act and get away, or if someone was really waiting for him.
But it doesn’t matter which one it is. Yushan Chaodeng just wants to get rid of this kind-hearted dark-skinned boy as soon as possible.
What kind of metaphysics is this? I was forced to see a doctor by two black men in one day.
"I know, I'll be right there." He pulled his hand away, took two steps towards Subaru Okiya, and turned back to say to Hattori Heiji.
, "Thank you. Go home early and don't stay outside."
The tone was serious, like what a police officer would say when he encounters a truant student on the street.
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a few seconds, watching the white-haired police officer run away with another person, and suddenly jumped up, pointing at the man's back and complaining to Koujinran: "Why is this person like this! Adults are so annoying."
…
Miyama Asato followed Okiya Subaru to the corner, he looked back, and was relieved to make sure that Hattori Heiji had not caught up. When he turned around, he saw a clean handkerchief in front of him.
He looked up along the direction of the hand. Subaru Okiya looked at him gently and pointed at the corner of his mouth with his other hand: "Here. It's stained."
Yushan Chaodeng was stunned. He reached out to pick up the handkerchief, turned sideways and wiped the corner of his mouth twice. Sure enough, he saw a faint trace of blood on the white handkerchief.
In fact, there was also a rusty taste in his mouth, and he had only eaten one energy bar given by his boss so far, so his stomach was empty, and the taste made him feel a little nauseous.
"Want to go over there and take a shower? I'll wait for you here." Okiya Subaru said sympathetically. I don't know if he had planned this a long time ago. They were standing near the restroom on this floor of the hospital. "Ah, actually I came here alone. I just said that because I felt that you seemed troubled, Officer Miyama."
It can be seen from this expressionless face that he is in great trouble... Thinking so, Miyama Chaodeng accepted the other party's kindness.
But Okiya Subaru was really nice. This was probably the sense of propriety of an adult. Even though he noticed that something was wrong with him, he didn't ask.
It may seem a little cold in the eyes of some people, but it is a more comfortable boundary for Yushan Chaodeng in his mind.
The water used to rinse his mouth turned from light red to clear, and Yu Shan looked up at the mirror above the sink. He still looked a little sick in the mirror, but since his body could not feel it at all, he was in good condition at the moment.
Very good and energetic.
As long as he can't feel the pain, he will just think of this disease as a debuff that can't be dispelled. And it can't be said that it is completely useless. He is sick now, so the system will block the pain for him. In fact, not feeling pain is a very convenient skill.
Patting his face, Miyama walked out towards Deng, and his attitude towards Okiya Subaru was much better, although he still looked expressionless.
"I just found the glasses left by Conan and tracked down the bomber. After fighting with him, he accidentally escaped." Miyama Chaodeng pursed his lips
, he felt that his performance was very bad, "I think that person has accomplices, and..."
Miyama Chaodeng recalled the evasive look when he asked the bomber's accomplice about the matter. It was certain that there was an accomplice, but the two men did not seem to have a good relationship. It was even possible that the bomber was coerced into doing these things.
But the bomber's target is clearly Conan and Jinpei Matsuda, who have a grudge against him, otherwise he would not have attacked him after hearing him say Matsuda's name. It seems that the bomber has a certain degree of autonomy.
Then the bomber's accomplice had a bigger agenda, using the bomber's preference for committing crimes in crowded places as a cover-up. What was his goal?
Subaru Okiya, who was waiting for his follow-up, saw that he was silent. His expression was obviously lost in his own thoughts. After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Miyama suddenly woke up, blinked his golden eyes, and a trace of regret flashed across his face. His expression became even colder, and he continued his words with a stern face: "Mr. Amuro has called the police. Now we just have to wait for the police who specialize in handling such cases to arrive."
"Officer Miyama, what about you?"
"I'm a public security officer, so it's not my place to get involved in Metropolitan Police Department cases."
Miyama Asato said this, he was just fooling Okiya Subaru. Under normal circumstances, he might really just let it go, but this time it was related to his mission, it was not that he didn't trust his colleagues, he just didn't want anything to happen.
I'm going to be a classic vicious public security officer later and snatch this case from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Subaru Okiya nodded thoughtfully, took out a folded A4 paper from his pocket, and said, "In that case, I'll hand it in after the responsible officer arrives. I thought I could give it directly to Officer Miyama to save a procedure."
“…”
Miyama Chaodeng's eyes fell on his hand. He felt a little pain on his face after saying that. In the end, he felt that completing the task was more important than being embarrassed. "What is it?"
"Didn't you say it's not good to interfere?" Okiya Subaru showed a surprised expression.
Miyama Chaodeng retracted his positive comments about him and said with a straight face, "It was my fault that I didn't catch up with the bomber just now. I will take responsibility for it."
"So that's how it is. Officer Miyama is really a good policeman." Okiya Subaru said with a smile. Miyama Asato still couldn't tell whether the other party was mocking him.
"Don't add police officer after my name." He couldn't help but interrupt the other party. He always felt that the other party's tone of voice
Although it's normal, every time I say the word "police officer", it sounds a bit weird.
"Okay, can I just call you by your name?" Okiya Subaru changed his words good-temperedly, and finally handed the paper to Miyama Asato, "I received it in Mr. Mori's ward, and it seems to have been sent by the prisoner."
Yushan Chaodeng unfolded the piece of paper, on which were written a few vague words.
…
Yushan Chaodeng ran in the hospital. After reading the contents on the paper, he turned around and ran away.
Okiya Subaru knew it was because of the content of the note, but he pretended to know nothing and hurriedly chased after him: "Wait, Miyama Police, Miyama-kun!"
Finally, he stopped Yushan Chaodeng at the hospital entrance: "What happened? I can help you."
"Are you driving?" Yu Shan Chaodeng looked at him for a few seconds and asked.
"Well, it's open." Okiya Subaru seemed to be unable to come to his senses and hesitated for a moment before answering.
Then Yu Shan pushed Deng and said, "Let's go."
They found Subaru Okiya's car in the parking lot, a silver German Volkswagen.
Seeing that Miyama Asato wanted to drive, Okiya Subaru showed a very subtle expression and took the lead and said, "I'll do it, you just focus on the case."
Yushan Chaodeng didn't argue with him and sat in the co-pilot seat.
There was no other way but to call Okiya Subaru. You couldn't take a taxi for something like this, and if you waited for the police you knew to come to the hospital, you might miss the best opportunity.
Subaru Okiya is a sensible adult. Judging from his body and muscles, he is not a nerd who never exercises. It is only reasonable to borrow his car and let him go.
and……
Miyama Asato called up the mission content again. The mission summary asked him to "assist the young detective and his friends." From any perspective, Okiya Subaru should be this friend.
Since it was specifically written, it should be useful. Just like his first mission, the description was to avoid conflicts between the uninvited guests and the owner of the house, and the owner actually showed up in the end.
The car started and drove out quickly. Yu Shan Chaodeng unfolded the paper again and laid it flat on his knees. He pointed his finger at the first sentence: "The sun meets midnight, which is generally dusk, between six and seven o'clock."
Okiya Subaru nodded: "I think so too. The next sentence should be about Conan, right? If, as you said, Miyama, Conan was taken away by him."
"Based on the criminal's past criminal experience, he probably wouldn't kill Conan outright. He likes to see people in panic but have to die. At least Conan should be safe now." Miyama Chaodeng said, his finger slowly sliding down, "The words 'horizon' and 'cross intersection', judging from the meaning of the sentence alone, I think they refer to the Beika Hospital we just left. The criminal should be at a high place where he can see the hospital, ready to enjoy the moment when the hospital explodes."
"As for Conan who was taken away, he either had to watch the explosion with him or die." Subaru Okiya continued his words, frowning but not fully opening his eyes, "A place where he can see the hospital and be guaranteed to be safe..."
"Only one."
Subaru Okiya stepped on the accelerator and the car accelerated towards the destination.
·
Edogawa Conan frowned, the skin on his forehead was pulled around and swelled and hurt. This feeling was somewhat familiar, as if he had experienced a similar incident a few months ago, but that time it was the back of his head that hurt, and this time it was the front.
The pain finally woke him up, but Edogawa Conan found that he could not move at all, as if he was tied up.
After realizing this, Conan suddenly opened his eyes.
He was in a run-down building, like an abandoned rental house, and the room had an unpleasant smell of food that had been left out for days.
He himself was tied to a chair, with his limbs and neck fixed, but if he lowered his head slightly, he could see the strangely shaped jar tied to his abdomen.
There are two in total, one containing red liquid and the other containing blue liquid. They are connected by a strange pipe in the middle, and there are many complicated wires around them that are difficult to understand.
Conan had never seen this thing before, but he could still tell what it was.
bomb.
Conan's pupils shrank for a moment. He felt that his nose was very light, and it must have fallen off when he was attacked before. His body was only about six or seven years old. Usually, wearing glasses would make him look more precocious. Now he looked more like a child.
He looked a little at a loss. Then he heard footsteps. The bomber walked over. Conan was very much like him. He smiled triumphantly, "Long time no see, little detective."
Conan looked at him with an angry expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"
The bomber did not answer him, but walked to the window and looked down.
Go. The place where they were located was an abandoned building. The security was not good, but the price was cheap and it was used as low-rent housing.
But because this is a dangerous building, anyone with a little financial ability will move out immediately.
His sight fell on a van downstairs, and the smile on his lips turned sinister as he read out the words one by one: "Song, Tian, Zhen, Ping."
Conan's eyebrows jumped. He and Jinpei Matsuda knew each other from the case three months ago. Officer Matsuda was the ace officer of the explosives squad. At that time, the bomb on the tower was easily dismantled by the other party with a flashlight in his mouth and a nonchalant look.
Although he always looks nonchalant and cool, he is one of the rare reliable adults Conan knows.
It was not a good thing to hear Officer Matsuda's name coming from the bomber's mouth.
Conan thought so, he calmed himself down and tried to trick the bomber into saying something.
However, before he could open his mouth, the bomber suddenly turned around and walked over very quickly, his face almost touching Conan's. At such a close distance, it was easy to distort the other person's face visually, and the other person's expression at this time was not gentle, making him look even more ferocious.
"Don't worry, he will be here to accompany you soon." The bomber laughed wildly. "I sent a message to the Metropolitan Police Department asking Matsuda Jinpei to come alone, otherwise you will have to accompany me to watch the Beika Hospital turn into pieces in the fire and smoke."
The car downstairs should be Jinpei Matsuda's car. He knew that Matsuda took this car to and from get off work...the man had shown him a photo.
Thinking of that man, a trace of fear flashed across the bomber's eyes, but it was quickly buried by the pleasure of revenge.
Jinpei Matsuda would not come alone, there must be other police officers around, but it doesn't matter, he just wants revenge, and doesn't care what happens afterwards.
The man finally got out of the car. The young man in a suit looked around and finally walked into the building.
The bomber laughed nervously, and Conan frowned. He hoped that Jinpei Matsuda would not come over, but...
…
"Jinpei Matsuda" walked in with his head lowered. The interior of the building was full of bare concrete floors. The footsteps were very obvious on the ground, whether they were his own or...other people's.
"Jinpei Matsuda" turned around suddenly, and the man who was jogging towards him was stunned. The white-haired young man looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Are you not Officer Matsuda?"
no
Matsuda Jinpei's "Matsuda Jinpei" was also observing the man standing opposite him. The man's face was very famous in the Metropolitan Police Department. In short, he was the only one with white hair. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Officer Miyama?"
The person waiting for Jinpei Matsuda here was none other than Asato Miyama. He and Subaru Okiya solved the puzzle before the police and found the building.
Okiya Subaru went to investigate the situation, while Miyama Asato planned to wait until Matsuda Jinpei arrived and then go to the appointment on his behalf.
But he didn't expect that he was not the only one who thought so.
The young man standing opposite him had black hair, parted on the side in the current popular style, and his hair was lightly swept over the outside of his sunglasses that made it impossible to see his eyes clearly.
The hair at the back of his head was a little long, almost the length of the hair around Yushan Chaodeng's ears, and was tied into a bun, making him look very energetic.
The man took off his sunglasses in front of Yushan Chaodeng, revealing a handsome and friendly face. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "I don't think I'm mistaken, right?"
Miyama Chaodeng had some impression of this person's face, but could not remember his name.
"My name is Kenji Hagiwara, and I'm also from the virgin explosion class. Since the other party's target is Kojinpei, I planned to come here to meet this guy. I didn't expect to meet Inspector Miyama here, I'm really lucky~" When Kenji Hagiwara spoke, the ending of his voice was slightly upturned, and his tone was very cute, which made Miyama Asato feel that the other party should be the type of person who is completely different from him and is very popular among the crowd.
Tsk, so envious.
Miyama Chao Deng was expressionless as always. It was hard for Hagiwara Kenji to smile in front of such a face. He said disapprovingly, "I will take over this case from now on. You just wait here for my news and don't go upstairs."
"Eh? How can this be possible? Absolutely not." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hands repeatedly. He was not angry even when the other party said this. His tone was gentle, "Inspector Miyama can't defuse a bomb, right? What if there is a bomb or something on it?"
He has a good temper, but is very principled and will directly refuse unreasonable requests.
It’s bad, I’m even more envious, this person has such a good personality.
Miyama Chao Deng is the type who is not good at rejecting others. No matter how troublesome it is, as long as someone asks him, he will agree. This kind of personality is still easy to be bullied in the workplace. Fortunately, his expressionless face is very useful, and basically no one will ask him for that kind of work.
Basically it refers to ordinary colleagues, excluding superiors.
Miyama Chaodeng suppressed his extra thoughts for the time being. What the other party said was indeed a problem. He had a boss who was good at everything.
Yushan Chaodeng couldn't help but become more demanding of himself.
He knows how to dismantle a bomb, but since he is not a professional, he has no confidence in more complicated tasks.
"Why don't we go up together?" Hagiwara Kenji saw the other party's problem and suggested with a smile, "We can solve anything together."
Miyama Asato couldn't find a reason to refuse. At this moment, something on his body vibrated twice. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket. As expected, it was a message from Okiya Subaru.
Because the two of them had to act separately, they needed a means of communication, and in the end Subaru Okiya lent him the spare phone.
[He's out. I'll come back first.]
Miyama Chaodeng calmed down instantly and said coldly to Hagiwara Kenji: "No need, you go out. I am enough here."
The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and the way he stood there made Kenji Hagiwara feel as if he saw a classmate from the police academy.
Maybe it was the tone, it was a bit like how Kojou wasn’t familiar with them in the beginning.
With this thought, the very dignified public security officer in front of him was not scary at all. Especially since he was younger than him, and if he thought about the time when he was in college, this kid was still in junior high school, he would find his fierce look even a little cute.
But no matter how cute the other person is, his police rank is higher than his, and if he is ordered to leave very seriously, Kenji Hagiwara must obey him.
So Kenji Hagiwara had no intention of reasoning with Asato Miyama, he only intended to talk about feelings with her.
"I know Inspector Miyama is very capable, but there should be a hostage up there. He's a child, and we need to calm him down when defusing the bomb. It's better to leave it to a professional like me," said Hagiwara Kenji. "You only need to subdue the bomber."
Miyama Asato was a little shaken, and at this moment he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He and Hagiwara Kenji turned around at the same time and saw a familiar figure.
The boss was wearing a light gray suit. I don't know when he changed out of the bourbon suit he wore in the hospital.
Miyama Asato thought about his health condition, which his boss had always been very concerned about, and Hattori Heiji had just exposed him for vomiting blood...
He hasn't figured out how to face Furuya Rei!
I originally thought that we would have to wait until this case was over before we could meet, but I didn't expect the other party to come directly.
/>
"how's it going."
Before Miyama Asato could find a suitable excuse, Fūya Rei directly asked him about the progress of the case. His tone was not polite, and one could tell from his voice that they were very familiar with each other.
Miyama Asato subconsciously looked at Kenji Hagiwara beside him, and then looked at his boss in surprise. The boss simply nodded at Kenji Hagiwara, and the latter smiled back, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Yushan Chaodeng:...?
"How's the case going? Have you investigated the situation?" Fūya Rei repeated his request and asked in a businesslike manner.
In fact, Miyama Asato is more familiar with this attitude. His boss is a workaholic and all the communication with him is about work. It makes people feel that Furuya Rei's lover is just work.
The excessive concern for him in the past few days, such as insisting that he go for a physical examination, which was behavior that went beyond the normal relationship between superiors and subordinates, made Yushan Chaodeng a little overwhelmed.
So he straightened his back, and under Hagiwara Kenji's surprised gaze, he reported to Furuya Rei: "We found the coded message coming. We cannot rule out the possibility that the criminal has an accomplice..."
us?
This plural title made Fōtani Rei a little concerned, but Miyama Asato did not explain. He just planned to wait until the other party finished speaking before asking.
"As for the situation above, I..." Miyama Asato was a little stuck. Okiya Subaru had not returned yet, so he had no idea.
In fact, it was not appropriate to let Okiya Subaru go, but he was the only one who could help Matsuda Jinpei. He was alone, so he could only trust Okiya Subaru.
Fortunately, just when he didn't know what to say, Subaru Okiya came back.
The pink-haired young man walked very lightly. Seeing that there were many people here, he called him softly, "Chao Deng?"
Yushan turned towards Deng, not even noticing the other party's address. He breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back."
He felt relieved to see Subaru Okiya return safely. The more he thought about it, the worse it was to let an ordinary, non-professional person do such a dangerous thing.
Subaru Okiya nodded with a smile. He walked over and directly told the conclusion of his investigation: "There is only one bomber up there. Conan is tied up beside him. Although there is a bomb on his body, it should not be a time bomb. If we are fast enough, there should be no problem."
This was the best possibility they had discussed when they came here, and the difficulty was also reduced sharply. Miyama Chaodeng turned to Hagiwara Kenji - because of Okiya Subaru, he did not directly tell Furuya Rei.
"According to the situation, Officer Hagiwara will still be needed. Mr. Amuro and Mr. Okiya should stay outside."
Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed: "No problem for me."
The boss's eyes were glued to him, and after a few seconds he said, "I have no problem either."
"To the light."
