Chapter 1091 [Breaking into Jiang Xia’s House at Night]

Jiang Xia turned off the light and lay down under the quilt.

Judging from the time, the things at the Twin Towers should be over, and Conan and the others will soon be returning to Beika Town.

Now his house is completely dark, which means that everyone has gone to bed and closed the door to visitors.

Even though the curious students had some concerns and questions about tonight's "sniping", when they saw that he had turned off the lights, they couldn't force their way in to see the injured or send him to the hospital, so they could only leave.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xia's thoughts suddenly paused.

...No, wait.

Speaking of this, it seems that Conan and Ran Mouri have forced their way in before.

Jiang Xia couldn't fall asleep as he thought about it.

——Conan is certainly not to be feared, as the strength of this elementary school student can be totally ignored. But if he brings Mao Lilan here and forces her to be the neighbor's porter...

“…”

Jiang Xia thought of the scene of social death and fell into deep thought for a short while.

A second later, a virtual light bulb seemed to light up above his head, and he had an idea.

…

Jiang Xia sat up and checked his arm, making sure the bandage and fake blood were still there.

Then he got out of bed, got half a glass of water, grabbed some mud from the flower pot, and walked towards the entrance.

A minute later, he put away the cup, washed his hands, moved a medicine box out from the corner of the bedroom, rummaged around for a while, and then casually stuffed the box into the corner.

After finishing it, Jiang Xia returned to bed, thought for a while, took off his pajamas, and then went back to sleep.

——It’s the dead of night, a man and a woman alone.

He just didn't believe that when Mao Li came to his house, he would have the nerve to drag the disheveled male neighbor out of the quilt and take him to the hospital.

…

After making some preparations just in case, Jiang Xia fell asleep peacefully.

However, perhaps being hit by a sniper bullet sounds a little scary.

After sleeping for a while, all his preparations actually came in handy.

…

Twenty minutes later.

“…”

Jiang Xia held the corner of his quilt tightly, looking at the uninvited guests who gathered around his bed: "..."

You guys are too persistent...

The most painful thing about the holidays is that you have just made up a fantastic excuse to ask for sick leave, and then the person who was approved for sick leave has to visit the "patient" at home because he is too worried about him.

"...Well, I've actually already gone to the hospital to deal with it, but I didn't tell you because you were busy." Jiang Xia cleared his throat, "You've seen it too, I'm fine - go home now."

"But if you wanted to go to the hospital, why didn't you take the ambulance right there? You had to sneak away and go there by yourself? There aren't many injured tonight, and the ambulances parked at the scene are more than enough."

Conan raised a reasonable question: "Moreover, you usually don't go to the hospital even if I drag you. Why are you so self-conscious today... Since you have been there, can you show us your medical records and medication notes?"

"..." Jiang Xia was ruthlessly exposed, and his eyes looking at Conan suddenly became gloomy.

However, thinking about Kudo-san's rare melon seed-flavored murderous aura, and the murders around him that happened one after another without stopping...

Jiang Xia calmed down again, closed his eyes, and looked like he wanted to go to sleep and say goodbye to the visitor: "It's unlucky to keep that kind of thing, so I just threw it away."

Conan: "..." Who would just throw away medical records and prescriptions? This person has never been to the hospital. Being scratched by a bullet is no small matter. If you are unlucky and hit by a violently rolling bullet, you may even need to have your limb amputated if you delay for a long time. Now is not the time to avoid medical treatment.

Fortunately, he was prepared...

Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't want to leave, Conan reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him: "Sister Xiaolan..."

……Oh.

Jiang Xia watched this scene coldly, having expected it.

He looked at Conan, hooked his fingers through the quilt, and made a mysterious "I have a secret to tell you, listen carefully" gesture.

Conan's curiosity can't resist this.

He paused summoning the weak high school girl and moved closer to hear what Jiang Xia had to say.

Then I heard the neighbor say in a low voice, as if very shy: "This is not good, I am not wearing any clothes now."

Conan: “……?!”

I saw Mao Lilan's hand reaching for the corner of the quilt, about to lift up Jiang Xia's quilt and reach out to pull him away.

Conan suddenly took a half step sideways, blocking Mao Lilan's hand with a light step: "Wait!"

"...Conan?" Ran Mouri was stunned and looked at this fickle elementary school student in confusion.

…

Conan stopped the man, turned to Jiang Xia, and whispered to the team: "Didn't you always wear pajamas when you went camping before?"

"You also said we were camping." Jiang Xia wrapped himself in the quilt confidently, looking very comfortable, "We are at home now."

Conan: "………" Seeing Jiang Xia's refusal to go to the hospital, it's probably impossible to get him to dress himself... Tsk. It would be great if there were a few good brothers to help Xiaolan carry the people, but unfortunately after becoming a small person, all his previous connections were forced to be cut off, and he only has a few adult male friends left. He can't call Hattori to come over, he's still in Osaka.

Hmm? Wait…

Speaking of "adult men", Conan suddenly had an idea and the image of Kogoro Mouri appeared in his mind.

“…”

As soon as Jiang Xia saw Conan touching his chin, he knew that the detective was thinking about something bad again: "Don't mess around, I know what I'm doing."

He decisively interrupted Conan's contemplation and proposed Plan B for his sick leave:

"Well, I didn't go to the hospital, but I found someone to handle it. The professionalism is no less than that of the doctors in the hospital. And the bullet barely rotated when it hit me. It only left an ordinary scratch."

When he said that, Conan thought about Jiang Xia's luck and reluctantly believed it.

——And according to Xiaolan and Sonoko, after the elevator stopped operating in an emergency, Jiang Xia flipped to the top of the elevator and used both hands to open the door. His movements were not affected at all, so the bullet scratch should not be deep.

Behind Conan.

Mao Lilan looked at the two people, one big and one small, who were whispering to each other in confusion.

She tried to wait patiently for a while, and after half a minute, she couldn't help but reach out to pull Conan away who was blocking her.

…

"Then let me see your arm. If it's really not serious..." Conan was talking to Jiang Xia when he suddenly felt a slender hand falling on the back of his collar.

"!"

Conan turned around hurriedly and said to Mao Lilan: "Ah, I suddenly remembered! Brother Shinichi said that it is not good to move rashly. If the injury is really not serious, it is not impossible to find someone to come to the house to treat it..."

Mao Lilan: “…Hmm?”…When did you say that? Why didn’t she hear it?

Just as she was about to ask, the people around her had already heard the first half of Conan's sentence.

Then he decisively expressed his worry and desire to participate: "Then, I want to watch it too!"
