"Isn't there food next to you?"
Makoto Sakaki took a bite of the sandwich fed by Miss Miyano, raised his eyebrows at Conan who was curled up in a ball, and signaled to Kid that he could start eating.
"You are kidding..."
Kidd said blankly:
"Eating human beings is against the law..."
"Oh, I think it should be considered self-defense. After all, Conan just said that he was going to kill you. If it were me, I would strike first."
"....Did I provoke him?!"
"Who told you not to tell him the gathering time? He thought we were going to abandon him again, so he ran to my doorstep at 5:30 in the morning and squatted there, scaring me!"
"I remember I said..."
Tilting his head, Kidd carefully recalled the situation at that time.
When Sakaki Makoto sent him a text message to inform him of the gathering time, he had already gone to bed, so he didn't go to inform Conan. Anyway, he would have time to arrive the next day.
But in the morning, he was sleeping soundly and was violently woken up. He was very polite by not getting angry. In addition, his brain was still in a state of shutdown and his language organization ability was a little poor. What did he say...
Kidd didn't know either, but he was sure that he wanted to tell Conan the gathering time!
Although the final result is slightly different...
But the original intention is good!
It was just a mistake in the dressing process, it's not a capital crime!
"Sandwiches?"
Miss Miyano pulled a warm toasted sandwich out of the bag and passed it to the back row.
"Eat! Of course I have to eat!"
Kid's eyes lit up and he no longer cared about Conan. He took a bite of the sandwich.
Snap!
The crust is baked in the bread machine to a crispy texture, and served with sweet salad dressing, round fried eggs, thick-cut bacon and ham, two slices of chewy and sour pickles, juicy tomatoes, lettuce...
After taking a bite, Kidd felt like he was swimming in a sea of vegetables. Before he woke up, he fell into the pig paradise. This place is simply a paradise for meat eaters. Every pig twists its butt seductively, and its curly tail looks spicy and delicious... Ugh! Petite and cute!
Kidd can feel that the bacon in the sandwich is from the part that the pigs are most proud of. After being carefully cooked by the chef, it is blended with fresh vegetables. The taste is distinct, which restores the taste of nature itself and does not disappoint the fat that the pigs have worked hard to raise...
this...
It reminded Kidd of his mother's smell.
"Anything else?"
Before he knew it, he had eaten the entire palm-sized sandwich. Kid licked his lips with satisfaction and cast a hopeful look at Miss Miyano:
“I want to eat more…”
"Yes, he did a lot of it."
Miss Miyano smiled slightly and handed over another piece.
A sign for the Hakone boundary flashed by the side of the road. The car was driving along the Kanagawa Prefecture Expressway towards Tokyo. The visibility on the road was very low. The rain had eased a little, but the thick fog still refused to dissipate.
Sakaki Makoto turned on the radio and tuned it to FM channel 105. The human voice gradually became clearer in the rustling loudspeaker, and it sounded like a morning news program.
【Today at midnight, a terrorist attack occurred at the Beihua Central Hospital. According to eyewitnesses, several men in black entered the hospital ward under the pretext of visiting a patient, shot a seriously injured patient, and launched a manhunt. Currently, the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division has intervened. The person in charge, Juzo Megure, said that they will do their best to catch the murderer and protect the safety of the hostages. If you find any suspicious persons, please call the hotline immediately to report the incident. The above news is reported by Reuters.】
Holding half a sandwich, Kid was stunned. Not only him, but Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano looked at each other, realizing that this news was probably related to the urgent mission in Gin's text message.
If nothing unexpected happens...
The several men in black reported in the news are members of the Black Organization. Why did they sneak into the Mika Central Hospital late at night to carry out assassinations?
The key is missed!
Who can escape unscathed from an assassination attempt by the Black Organization?
"Akai Shuichi!"
Kidd responded quickly:
"It must be him! Wasn't he seriously injured two days ago and sent to the hospital for treatment?"
"He was indeed sent to the Mihua Central Hospital, but he left that night."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head. He was aware of some of the organization's actions. After the Black Organization had a gunfight with the FBI at the Beika City Hall, in order to ensure that Shuichi Akai was killed, they sent people to the Beika Central Hospital that night to investigate the situation. If they found that Shuichi Akai was not dead, they would shoot him again.
Shuichi Akai is not a fool. He certainly knows the consequences of staying in the Beika Central Hospital. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If he stays in the hospital, even if the FBI is mobilized in full force, they will not be able to protect his life. The Black Organization has ten thousand ways to kill him.
For example, the eight eggs are the Black Organization’s specialty. They will feel uncomfortable if they don’t use them for a day.
The people sent by the Black Organization to the Beika Central Hospital naturally came up empty-handed. They didn't find Shuichi Akai at all. Gin believed that Shuichi Akai was still alive. He didn't think that his nemesis would die so easily.
Logically speaking...
Shuichi Akai, who escaped from the Beika Central Hospital, should have hidden himself away and rested to avoid being hunted down by Gin and others. Is there anything he can't do after his injuries are healed?
In that case...
The Black Organization sent people to the hospital. Who did they want to assassinate?
[The following is yesterday's news]
After playing a section of interlude music, the radio came out again:
【Yesterday, Yasuteru Domon, the most popular Self-Defense Force captain in the 49th parliamentary election, gave a public speech. He believes that there are many lawless elements in Tokyo, which have threatened the safety of the city and even the country. If he can be successfully elected as a member of the House of Representatives, he will resolutely crack down on crime and will not allow any criminals who violate the law to trample on the dignity of the country. His motto is that life is not a short candle, but a torch that we hold temporarily. We must burn it very brightly and then pass it on to the next generation. The above news is reported by Reuters. 】
Domon Yasuteru?
Sakaki Makoto frowned. He had heard of this name, or rather seen him. This guy often appeared on TV. He was a prominent figure in the military, famous for his tough tactics and a strong sense of justice. His father was an official of the Defense Agency. He had extensive political connections and many supporters. Many people believed that he was the best candidate for prime minister in the future and could lead Japan to its peak.
"Is it time for the new parliamentary election so soon?"
Kidd flipped through the calendar:
"It's true. The election meeting for members of the House of Representatives started three days ago, and now these candidates are busy canvassing for votes for themselves!"
