hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed was a curly-haired man with terrible burns on his face. Judging from the burn marks on his neck that were not covered by the quilt or clothes, it could be inferred that most of his body had the same wounds.

Nurse Ogawa was debugging some medical equipment beside the bed. Since she discovered that the patient might wake up, she couldn't help but want to stay in this room for a longer time every day, hoping to witness the patient's awakening with her own eyes.

Just today, when Nurse Ogawa was about to leave with the nursing equipment in her hands, she heard noise coming from behind before she opened the door!

Nurse Ogawa immediately turned around and looked at the man with black curly hair lying on the bed. The man did not open his eyes, which made Nurse Ogawa a little disappointed. But as a nurse, patience is the most important thing.

Nurse Ogawa held the tools in her hands and stared closely at the person on the bed - perhaps because Nurse Ogawa's gaze was too penetrating, the patient, who had no reaction, frowned slightly at this moment!

For patients diagnosed as vegetative, any reaction, even this subtle one, is an opportunity as long as it is not an instinctive physiological reaction of the body.

Unfortunately, after this action, a long time passed and the patient on the bed still did not move. Nurse Ogawa could only leave the room disappointed again.

But the next day, when Nurse Ogawa came to the ward as usual, she was shocked to find that the patient, who was supposed to be in a vegetative state, was lying on the bed, with his head slightly tilted, looking in her direction with a pair of clear blue eyes.

Nurse Ogawa was instantly excited: "You're awake!"

Noticing the patient's reaction of wanting to speak, Nurse Ogawa immediately put down the tools in her hands, ran over to pour a glass of water, and adjusted the tilt height of the bed to make it easier for the patient to drink the water.

But even after moistening his throat, Jinpei Matsuda still couldn't speak, and could only make silent lip movements.

Nurse Ogawa responded immediately.

Vegetative state is not an accurate term. Medically, this kind of patients are described as "vegetative state". Their body functions are intact, they can breathe independently and absorb nutrients. Even children can continue to grow.

However, once a person is in a vegetative state for more than a year - no, even if it is only half a year, it will cause great harm to a person's body.

Even if a vegetative person wakes up, it won't be like in TV dramas where he can just move his fingers and wake up immediately, as if he is no different from the past.

After awakening from a true vegetative state, a person will also face cognitive and motor dysfunction.

Simply put, the body cannot move and the mouth cannot speak.

In response, Nurse Ogawa immediately began to comfort the patient, explained the whole story, and encouraged her: "As long as you work hard on rehabilitation, you will definitely recover!"

"Your awakening is a medical miracle in itself!!"

After saying all this and making sure that the patient's mood was not particularly bad, Nurse Ogawa finally remembered to press the call button beside the bed.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was lying on the hospital bed, was now very, very silent - he couldn't move his limbs, couldn't speak, and could only lie stiffly on the bed. The feeling was terrible.

Not to mention that he did feel weak in his limbs.

When in Morobushi Sora's warehouse, time was suspended, so there was no need to worry about physical problems. Morobushi Kagemitsu and Hagiwara Kenji were both taken out of the warehouse on the eve of waking up, but Matsuda Jinpei was taken out a long time earlier.

His weakness was real, and he was really treated as a vegetable and lay in bed for a long time. If the nurses had not massaged the patients regularly as required, Matsuda Jinpei's current condition would have been even more serious - oh, it should be the same.

After all, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, Morobushi Sora Ryo did not intend to allow Matsuda Jinpei to join the current script, so Saiki K. delayed the time a little.

So just like Kenji Hagiwara’s amnesia before, if Jinpei Matsuda can really contact his relatives and friends, it will probably have to wait until Detective Conan is finished.

Through the doctor's explanation, Matsuda Jinpei learned that he was sent to the hospital with injuries three years ago. Matsuda Jinpei no longer wanted to think about why he was able to face the bomb and still keep his body intact and he was still alive. That should be why he was sent to the hospital with his limbs preserved.

In short, he had been separated from reality for three years and now could not move or speak and could only lie stiffly in bed.

In order to communicate with the doctor, the doctor skillfully took out a 50-character kana chart and said to Matsuda Jinpei: "If the answer is yes, please blink once, and if it is no, blink twice."

Dr. Oshima said gently, "Excuse me, do you understand? If you do, please blink your eyes."

Matsuda Jinpei blinked.

Dr. Oshima had to marvel at this medical miracle once again. After lying in a vegetative state for so many years, he was able to accept the situation so quickly after waking up, and his speech was so clear and logical. It was really surprising.

"So, do you have any relatives or friends that you can contact?" Dr. Oshima asked the most important question first.

However, this question made Matsuda Jinpei stunned for a moment - relatives and friends that he could contact? He subconsciously thought of a person.

However, that person, the friend who grew up with him, had already...

But as for contacting his parents... forget it. His parents have probably already accepted his death anyway. Instead of meeting him in this awful vegetative state, it would be better to wait until he recovers and then surprise them.

Then Jinpei Matsuda blinked twice.

Dr. Oshima was not surprised by this answer. He sighed inwardly but did not show it on his face. He continued to ask some questions and gave Jinpei Matsuda a brief introduction to the current situation.

After completing these most basic tasks, Dr. Oshima remembered another key issue.

Dr. Oshima picked up the Japanese syllabary and said gently, "May I ask how I should address you, sir?"

However, Matsuda Jinpei did not intend to reveal his identity, and just blinked twice to express his refusal.

The doctor looked a little regretful, but not reluctant.

In short, a difficult rehabilitation life in the future is waiting for this poor police officer.

the other side.

Morobushi Sora Ryo took a look at Matsuda Jinpei's current condition through the surveillance camera - this was installed earlier in order to confirm Morobushi Kagemitsu's progress.

"... Already awake. So fast." Zhufu Kongliang puffed up his face and complained.

Then he fell directly onto his bed. Zhu Fu Kong Liang rolled around on the bed and rolled to the edge of the bed. He was about to fall off, with half of his body hanging in the air for a while, and then he rolled to the other side.

After going back and forth several times, Zhu Fu Kong Liang finally covered half of his face with the quilt. His blue cat eyes shone brightly under the light in the room.

"..." Zhu Fu Kongliang sat up from the bed again, picked up his mobile phone, and contacted someone he hadn't contacted for some time.

"Hello? Brother Gao Ming...are you free recently?" Zhu Fu Kongliang said into the phone.
