"Dad, you should hurry up too. It's rare for Mom to come home today..."
"Huh?"
"Xiaolan, you remembered?"
"Sister Xiaolan!"
The whole family, young and old, couldn't help but look on with excitement.
However, Xiao Lan paused, then looked bewildered.
"No, I don't know... Dad, Mom... I seem to remember some of them, but then again..."
Having realized what was happening, Eri sat down next to her and gently patted her.
"It's okay, Xiaolan, we'll take it slow."
"Is there any dish you'd like to eat? I'll go home and cook it for you."
Upon hearing Eri Kisaki's announcement, Kogoro, who was still lying on the ground, Conan, who was next to him, and even Ran herself couldn't help but shiver.
"Mom, no, it's not necessary..."
"What?! Even you dislike your mother..."
Eri Kisaki complained, but a hint of a smile flickered in her eyes again.
Seeing that the conversation between the family of three was becoming increasingly fluent, Yoruichi Toyama wisely took his leave.
As Akemi led Ai out of the ward, they discovered that Amuro Tooru and Conan had followed them out as well.
"Conan and I went out to buy some food," Amuro Tooru said, which should be considered their excuse for going out.
However, his expression remained serious.
"I heard from Conan that my teacher's wife's cooking skills... hehe..."
“That’s not ‘hehe,’ it should be ‘help!’” Conan added.
Yoruichi Toyama was about to tease him for his disrespect towards his future mother-in-law when Akemi suddenly grabbed his hand.
In front of her two cronies, Yoruichi Toyama, who was usually all smiles and laughter, couldn't help but blush.
Mingmei gave him a serious look.
"I asked Attorney Fei about Xiaolan's condition earlier, and she told me something."
"Ran's attending physician, Mr. Kazato, was introduced by Inspector Shiratori. It's said that he's also the psychological counselor for several officers in the First Division..."
Yoruichi Toyama's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Miss, you're so perceptive!
If you became a policeman, wouldn't you be able to squeeze those paycheck thieves to death?
Amuro Tooru and Conan did not experience the scene at the Metropolitan Police Department earlier. Although they did not know about the leak of information during the investigation, they understood after a little thought.
"So, he might know a lot about the police operation?" Amuro Tooru spoke first. "What about last night's banquet? Does he know about it? Will he tell anyone else?"
"I don't know if he told anyone, but he did attend Inspector Shiratori's sister's engagement party," Conan, who was present yesterday, immediately replied.
That's highly suspicious!
That phrase was written all over their faces.
Yoruichi Toyama briefly explained the situation to them while taking out her phone.
Before he could even dial, Mingzhi called.
"Yuyama, are you at Mika General Hospital?"
The voice on Mingzhi's side sounded somewhat urgent.
"Help me check. I suspect that a psychiatrist might be involved in the incident."
Although the phone wasn't on speakerphone, the spy and the elementary school student, who had gotten close out of curiosity, had already heard the words clearly.
They both showed expressions of surprise.
"How did you know?" Amuro Tooru asked.
Upon hearing his voice, Mingzhi seemed to pause for a moment before letting out a cold laugh.
"you guess?"
Of course, this is not the time to keep you in suspense.
According to Akechi, he sent Kobayashi to investigate Tomonari Makoto, the son of Inspector Tomonari who died a year ago, and who harbored resentment towards detectives such as Narasawa.
But Yoo Sung-jin's whereabouts have been somewhat erratic lately, and even his friends and neighbors can't say for sure.
I've only heard that he sometimes receives a phone call, and then he disappears in a hurry, I don't know where.
Kobayashi, who had found out Youcheng's phone number, called him first, but no one answered.
So he went to the telephone exchange to find out who he was talking to.
Unfortunately, the number was not registered under a real name, so no further identity information could be found.
According to Akechi, Kobayashi, the detective, is only mediocre in ability, much like Wataru Takagi, one of Inspector Megure's subordinates.
But its advantage lies in its willingness to put in the hard work.
Unable to get any results, Kobayashi turned to the telephone company to inquire whether they could find out the phone number that Yusei Makoto used when he spoke to her, and where he was at the time.
"The result was Beika General Hospital," Akechi said.
"When Huang and his colleagues were questioned by the police officers, they did not reveal anything about the secret investigation in their daily lives."
"If I had to say something, it would be that Inspector Shiratori consulted his psychologist two or three times, but he can hardly remember what they said."
"That psychologist is a doctor in the Department of Psychiatry at Mikasa General Hospital."
"According to Inspector Shiratori, the doctor was introduced to him by the late Officer Narasawa."
“Then there’s no problem, it must be him!” Amuro Tooru said quickly on the other end of the phone. “Conan just said that Dr. Kazato attended the engagement party last night.”
“Your ‘certainty’…” A wise sneer came through the microphone, still full of sarcasm. “Is it overconfidence, or is this just how the policeman always does things?”
"Tch!" Amuro Tooru snatched the phone away. "Anyway, you don't need to worry about it. I'll find out who it is and ask them a few questions!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone and then noticed that Yoruichi Toyama and Conan were both staring at him with complicated expressions.
Akemi stood by, smiling gently, as if indulging the reckless child.
"No, I..." Amuro Tooru blinked, wanting to ask something, but then noticed that Ai was looking at him with disdain.
