Chapter 99: The Desperate Heir - Hinata



Ran Mouri went to the hospital late at night and fell asleep after taking a sedative. Kogoro Mouri stayed by her side for a while and didn't dare to leave.

Soon, Eri Kisaki rushed over, and when she saw the sleeping Ran Mouri, she almost fell to the ground.

After receiving the call and hearing that something was wrong with Mao Li Ran, she felt like the sky was falling, because Mao Li Ran was her only daughter.

"What exactly happened?!" Eri Kisaki questioned Kogoro Mori.

On the other side, outside the ward, Conan Edogawa was also muttering, "What happened? Why did Xiaolan suddenly become like that? Even if it was an emotional outburst, it shouldn't be like this. There were no signs recently. This is too strange."

Hinata Hajime watched him walking back and forth in front of him. He held his chin with one hand and pressed his brow helplessly, "Conan, calm down."

"How can you stay calm? Who knows if Xiaolan will still behave like that after she wakes up?"

"Instead of being nervous, think about when Xiaolan became strange, and what did she do before she became strange." Hinata Hajime patted Conan Edogawa's shoulder, "Don't you want to be the Sherlock Holmes of the Reiwa era? This is not like Sherlock Holmes."

Edogawa Conan sighed, "I already said it's the Heisei era."

However, Conan Edogawa actually calmed down.

Yes, he couldn't continue to be anxious. Everything that happened had a reason and a beginning. He had to think hard about when Xiaolan's mood started to go wrong.

"I noticed it when we got home from the playground. Xiaolan was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She was obviously not in a good mood. When Uncle Maori called her, I saw that Xiaolan was a little hesitant. But, to put it this way, Xiaolan was not in a good mood when we were at the playground."

"But Sonoko told us that it was because a classmate asked about Kudo Shinichi that caused Xiaolan to be depressed." Hinata Hajime added.

Conan Edogawa and Hajime Hinata looked at each other, "It was after this classmate shopping trip."

"Then... Sonoko!" Conan Edogawa jumped up and ran out quickly, but happened to bump into Suzuki Sonoko who ran over because of worry.

"Ah, it hurts!" Suzuki Sonoko sat on the ground, but she quickly stood up after seeing Edogawa Conan, "Where's Xiaolan? How's Xiaolan? What happened to her?"

Edogawa Conan exhaled.

Suzuki Sonoko is still her normal self.

"Sister Xiaolan is asleep." Edogawa Conan got up, "Sister Sonoko, are you okay? Do you feel depressed or something?"

"Huh? No." Suzuki Sonoko hurried towards the ward. At the door of the ward, she saw the sleeping Xiaolan and the Mori couple guarding her. She let out a long breath and then sat on the bench next to her. Her hair was a little messy and she was wearing pajamas under her thick coat.

She arrived without even having time to change her clothes.

Conan Edogawa climbed onto the bench and said, "Sonoko-sister, who did you and Ran-sister go out with during the day?"

"Eh? Why are you asking this?"

"Because Xiaolan-sister was in a bad mood after she came back, and you, Sonoko-sister, said it was because a classmate mentioned Shinichi-sister, so I want to know who mentioned it. It's so annoying."

Suzuki Sonoko smiled and said, "What a child."

"Tell me!" Edogawa Conan started to act like a child.

"Okay, okay, it's a girl named Akiha Iceland." Suzuki Sonoko patted Hinata Hajime's hair, "She was just confused. After all, she is our classmate and a little lonely. She didn't know why Shinichi didn't come to school, so she asked Xiaolan, who has always had a good relationship with him."

"Ah...I see." Edogawa Conan nodded seriously.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't say much, and she was a little absent-minded. After all, her mind was all on the sleeping Xiaolan. However, the ward was where Mouri Ran's parents were, so she couldn't go in. She could only wait outside. Edogawa Conan jumped off the bench and ran to where Hinata Hajime was.

"I see. There's nothing wrong with Sonoko. And the one shopping with them is Akiha Iceland."

Hinata Hajime didn't know this person at all, but he could see that there was something a little strange on Edogawa Conan's expression.

"Does this student have any questions?"

"I can't really say if there's a problem." Conan Edogawa recalled the situation when he was still in Kudo Shinichi's class.

At that time, he was still a famous high school detective. He was also a well-known figure in the school and his grades were not bad, but his relationship with the people in the class was not very good. At most, he was just an acquaintance. As for Iceland Akiha...

"That's a very lonely girl." Edogawa Conan said hesitantly, "I don't know why, but she is indeed very lonely. She has never suffered from school violence. She just doesn't like to walk with others. She is a loner. She has good grades and is a good girl that teachers like. Some people tried to make friends with her, but they stopped trying after being rejected."

"A lonely good girl?"

"Yes, she seems to have some family problems. The teacher has always been concerned about her. Although she is aloof, she has a good personality. She just doesn't talk to people. I didn't expect that she would go shopping with Xiaolan this time."

Hinata frowned, "Then do you know where her home is?"

"Huh? Even if we know, it wouldn't be good for us to look for it so late at night?" Conan Edogawa glanced at the time. It was already 11:30 in the evening and most people had gone to bed.

"Okay, I know you don't know." Hinata Hajime made a call, "Nana, help me check it out."

A female voice came from the phone, "I checked while you were talking. It will be sent to your email in a while, remember to check it."

"You are indeed worthy of me." Hinata Hajime sighed, "Then I will go over to take a look tomorrow morning."

"Oh, I also found her identity information, but it only has information from the school, so it's definitely not comprehensive. You can take a general look at it."

Conan Edogawa looked at Hinata Hajime and the phone in his hand in surprise, "Just like that... it's done?"

"What else?" Hinata Hajime asked back.

“I just think it’s a little too easy.”

"Because Nanami is an expert." Hinata opened his email and saw the information Nanami sent. "Let's take a look at what's in it first."

Conan Edogawa was thinking about how Hinata Sou, as a policeman, was breaking the law knowingly, and if he was caught, he would be sentenced to several years in prison. So he walked over and looked at the information with Hinata Sou with an innocent face.

After downloading the data, Hinata Chuang opened the file, and the first thing he saw was a photo of a girl.

The moment he saw the photo of this girl, he was a little surprised.

Because this girl was the high school girl who had stared at him for a few seconds in the playground before.

"Yes, this is Iceland Akiha." Conan Edogawa nodded beside him, "We occasionally met her outside before, she was also wearing a school uniform, and all the ID photos she took were also in uniform. Xiaolan even wondered at the time whether her family was not rich, so she always wore a uniform."

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly and read the entire identity information while Conan was chattering.

Akiha Iceland, sophomore in high school, 17 years old, no contact information, no contact information for parents, father is deceased, following is her residential address and transcript.

It was indeed consistent with what Conan said, her grades were very good, especially in science, her grades were far higher than those in the class, and she was definitely a good enough score to be admitted to the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tokyo.

"That's amazing." Hinata Hajime looked at her report card. "This kind of score is hard to come by."

"Ah, is this why the teacher pays more attention to her?" Edogawa Conan said: "Ice Island Akiha's grades are very good, but it seems that due to family reasons, even if the academy recommends her, she can't enter Tokyo University. I don't know the specific reason."

"Because your family can't send you to college?"

"It seems that her mother is blocking it."

"Like this."

[Deru, if you think about it this way, could she be a desperate host? Is the reason for her despair related to the recommended school? Or does she want to leave her family? ]

Kamukura Izuru looked at the file, and after a moment he spoke, "No, school is not as important as you think."

【ha?】

[In the eyes of talented people, it doesn't matter what school they go to, because their talent is everything.] Kamukura Izuru said something that made people frown, [Because only ordinary people are desperate about school problems.]

Ah, it turns out that your words are still so infuriating.

As expected of you, Kamisama Izuku.
