Chapter 182 Are you crying?
There was a drizzle, the autumn wind was a little chilly, and the leaves were swirling down from the sky.
Conan Edogawa was stunned until Miyagawa Ling called him, then he came to his senses.
He followed Miyakawa Ling and ran into the hospital.
There were a lot of people in the hospital. The corridors were full of people, it was extremely crowded, and everyone looked anxious and panicked.
"Conan, why don't you wait for us here?" Ran Mouri, holding Haibara Ai, turned around and saw the little boy struggling to squeeze in the crowd, his forehead covered with sweat, and couldn't help but say.
Conan Edogawa shook his head: "No, I want to go and see what's going on!"
"Then you be careful." The body temperature of Haibara Ai chilled the palms of Mouri Ran's hands. She was anxious and quickened her pace.
After a lot of effort, a few people finally got into the hospital. There were security guards blocking the way and not letting too many patients and their families in. The road was wide and even the air was flowing.
Miyagawa Ryo was carrying Mori Kogoro, and Mori Ran was holding Haibara Ai, but both of them were still in good physical condition. Instead, it was Edogawa Conan who fell behind.
He trotted after the two of them.
Soon, the hospital said in embarrassment: "There are too many patients now, and we don't have enough doctors to handle it. Why don't you go to another hospital... If you queue up here, it will take at least half an hour."
"But...her temperature is very low, I'm worried..." said Mao Lilan with red eyes.
A nurse said: "Most people experience this phenomenon. It won't take long before they return to normal. Don't worry."
"But..." Mao Lilan was still worried, but she had no choice. She couldn't ask them to cut in line, right?
But the nurse was too busy to pay attention to her, so she ran away in a hurry.
Mao Lilan subconsciously looked at Miyakawa Ling: "Brother Ling, what should we do now?"
Miyagawa Lingye frowned slightly, his expression cold and serious.
He didn't expect the situation to be so serious!
How many people were infected?? !
"I'll make a call." Miyakawa Ryo indicated that he would think of a solution, and then walked aside to make a call.
Conan Edogawa was extremely annoyed. He stared at the young man as he walked away and wanted to follow him, but in the end he did not move. Instead, he checked on Kogoro Mouri and Ai Haibara.
Damn it! What the hell is going on!
The body temperature has dropped even lower... How can I be okay if it continues like this?!
My pulse rate slowed down, but my breathing became heavy, as if I was having a nightmare...
"Conan, don't panic, Dad and Ai will be fine. Besides, Ling is here!"
Maori Kogoro was placed by the wall because the seats in the hospital corridor were already full of patients. Edogawa Conan squatted beside him, still checking: "Don't panic, Xiaolan sister, the nurse sister said that nothing will happen..."
"Well, it will be fine." Mao Lilan lowered her voice: "If something happens to us, what will Conan do?"
"No! Uncle and Ai will be fine..."
Conan Edogawa was talking halfway when a figure in his peripheral vision suddenly shook. He looked up and saw Ran Mouri, her face pale, falling to the ground with her eyes closed!
"Ran!" Conan Edogawa's heart stopped beating!
He hurriedly tried to support Ran Mouri, but his body was unable to support Ran who was holding Haibara Ai. He could only act as a back cushion and let the two girls fall to the ground without getting hurt.
"Sister Xiaolan?!" Conan Edogawa felt dizzy for a moment, his brain lacked oxygen, and he shouted twice:
"Sister Xiaolan!"
"What's wrong with you?"
No one answered.
"..." The boy suddenly calmed down.
The cold touch made his arm tremble because Haibara Ai's hand fell on it; he was pressed to the ground in pain, and when he turned his head, he saw the beautiful but pale face of Mouri Ran.
Not far away, the middle-aged man who was always noisy was lying against the wall with his head tilted.
Further ahead, there are unconscious patients, family members with tears on their faces, and nurses communicating something at a very fast speed... In the front, outside the window, dark clouds cover the sun, tree branches are leaning, and a rainstorm is approaching.
A deep feeling of powerlessness is like a huge wave that can drown, swallow, and crush a person in an instant.
The injury from last time has not yet fully healed, and pain continues to come from the fragile neck. The chin is also very painful. Edogawa Conan is covered in cold sweat and his little hands are clenched tightly.
He slowly got up, his clothes were in disarray and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" A man saw the situation and came over to ask him.
Edogawa Conan shook his head.
"Little friends, are there no other adults in your family?" The man helped Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai up, and asked with a haggard face.
Conan Edogawa looked at him: "Uncle, where are your family members?"
The man paused. "He has been sent in for treatment. He will be out soon."
"Really?!" Conan Edogawa was a little surprised.
The man nodded and helped Mao Lilan sit on the ground in a comfortable position. When she bent down, a piece of paper fell to the ground.
Edogawa Conan saw the words clearly, but he suddenly froze there as if he was struck by lightning!
【Critical Illness Notice】
The man hurriedly picked it up and hid it in his pocket. Then, without saying anything more, he walked away in a trance like a ghost.
Conan Edogawa's breathing was disordered and rapid. Miyagawa Ryo had not come back yet, and he could not forget the scene of the other party killing people. Trembling, he dialed Akai Shuichi's number.
"Boy," the other end answered the phone faster than he expected, and seemed to be preparing to call him: "Is Ling okay?"
"Nothing." He said, "I want to ask..."
Shuichi Akai interrupted him: "I just got news from the FBI that someone has poisoned a certain mineral water in Tokyo. Please be careful and don't buy water outside. If possible, poison the water at home..."
The young detective didn't wait for him to finish: "What did you say?!"
Poisoning? !
He suddenly remembered the two bottles of water that he and Mao Lilan bought before going to the castle!
He didn't get to drink it because Kogoro Mouri took away his water!
Is there poison in it?!
The fear that came late was like a poisonous snake crawling up my spine.
Shuichi Akai: "According to the investigation, a few months ago, a drug dealer came to Tokyo. In his past criminal records, there are many examples of using poison to destroy people's spirits. The poison this time is likely to be the same."
“…”Same?
Conan Edogawa thought of the frequent murders that occurred some time ago, and all of the murderers were mentally unstable.
Was this drug dealer responsible for all this?
Xiaolan... Is it possible that her uncle and Haibara will also be affected mentally or even die?
Conan Edogawa's hands and feet became weak and he fell to the ground.
No wonder, no wonder the two policemen said last time that they were all scared... The police must have received the news in advance and guessed that the drug dealers might poison on a large scale, but they didn't know how they would act specifically!
So many people poisoned at the same time...it's like the end of the world!
"This person is very ambitious and his methods are sinister and ruthless. He is likely a member of the organization." Akai Shuichi continued: "This large-scale poisoning may also be an order from the organization."
Edogawa Conan was stunned for a moment, and a deeper chill invaded his limbs and bones.
He finally understood why Shuichi Akai said last time, "You still don't understand how terrifying the organization is."
At that time, he was still a little unconvinced, thinking that he had experienced a lot... Now it seems that he was naive.
The cruelty of Gin and Vodka, the sadistic Magno in Huibara's words, Pisco's indifference to human life, the human body trade on Hele Island, the current large-scale poisoning... How much darkness has not been seen in the organization?
"Boy, be careful and don't reveal your identity. Otherwise, not only you but also the people around you will be in danger." Akai Shuichi hung up the phone in a hurry.
“……”Dead silence.
A few seconds later.
"Ahh——" A burst of sad crying came from deep inside the hospital.
That cry was like a switch. A huge sense of strangeness and shock spread to every nerve of Conan Edogawa, and he began to tremble abnormally.
Tears fell to the ground and his vision became dim. Edogawa Conan lowered his head and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying out loud.
The sound of light footsteps came from the corner and stopped at his feet in less than two seconds.
"Conan?" As gentle as the spring breeze and as warm as the morning sun, the man asked, "Are you crying?"
There was mist in Edogawa Conan's eyes.
"As long as you haven't had a serious illness before, this disease is not life-threatening. I have confirmed this with the police."
He bent down, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's poisoning, but it's only mildly toxic. The hospital has developed an antidote. If you inject it within 24 hours, you'll be fine."
Conan Edogawa looked up, and the young man held out his hand: "Ran will be safe, and everyone will be alive."
The young detective didn't know why, but his tears fell faster.
He said hoarsely, "Someone has died... just now."
The young man was silent, his black hair fell in front of his eyes, making his eyes unclear.
But that golden color is still very dazzling.
"I'm sorry." He said softly, and his outstretched hand slowly dropped down.
But Edogawa Conan grabbed it.
The tenderness just now made him feel at ease and aggrieved, but these words mixed with reluctance and sadness moved him even more.
"Maybe by some miracle that person will survive."
Miyakawa Ling was stunned for a moment, then pulled up the little detective.
"I heard from the police that you provided them with clues." The boy looked up.
Miyakawa Ling said, "Actually, I guessed that something like today's incident might happen, and the police believed me, so they were more vigilant and stepped up their efforts to catch him... But he acted too quickly, and the police were unable to determine the specific direction, so he still had the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Conan Edogawa sniffed, still very sensitive: "'He'? Do the police already know who the criminal is?"
"right."
"Have you seen it?"
Miyakawa Ling looked out the window and blinked slowly with her long eyelashes: "I have seen it before."
He dealt with that man, but allowed his crimes to harm so many people.
Conan Edogawa seems to know who the criminal is.
"Did the police... catch him?"
"no."
“……”Sure enough, it was the butler.
Conan Edogawa suddenly remembered that when he went to ask the housekeeper about the follow-up of the incident, Inspector Megure had accidentally let slip: "However, those bottles and jars are incredible things."
Now that I think about it... maybe it's something poison-related?
The mass coma incident just happened, but the hospital has already developed an antidote? How is it possible that it is so fast?
But what if the police already had the sample, or something related...
Thinking of this, Edogawa Conan looked at Miyagawa Ryo again.
No matter what the young man's purpose was when he killed the butler that day... in the end, he saved hundreds of more people.
Edogawa Conan lowered his eyes.
Oh no... Why do I still feel such a strong sense of security?
Obviously... I have seen that scene with my own eyes.
Obviously, he already knew that the other party was still helping him just to profit from him because he was his target.
He pinched himself quickly, and his eyes became determined again!
No matter what, killing is absolutely wrong!
Even if that person is from the organization...
organization?
·
When the butler saw the black-haired young man, he was more surprised than hostile.
·
"I'm here to... invite you to enjoy a game."
"You may have heard of my game?"
"Come on, choose a way to die."
·
"That guy... he likes playing games. Killing people is his form of entertainment. In his eyes, human life is just like a toy... You can't imagine how many vicious ways he has to kill people..."
·
"What's his code name?"
"Magnol."
·
“I’m a game designer, and my favorite thing to design is horror games.”
·
Edogawa Conan suddenly felt his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
