It was already dark outside, but Guangyou inside the cave felt very satisfied. After a “fierce” struggle, the three thugs had been subdued by Guangyou.
To Guangyou's delight, he was finally able to use the "Child-Severing Kick" again. It had been a long time since he had used it, and Guangyou felt that he was a bit rusty. However, judging from the expressions of the three people who had fainted, the effect was outstanding.
After dealing with the three, Guangyou hummed a song as he strolled leisurely through the cave, the song echoing in the air. Guangyou looked around as if he were shopping.
As Guangyou walked to the cave entrance to leave, a bright white light suddenly shone from the cave entrance. Guangyou, who had always been in the dark, was already accustomed to the darkness.
The sudden white light stung Guangyou's eyes, and there were already traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Listen up, you thugs inside! Lay down your weapons and surrender now! You're surrounded!"
In an instant, Guangyou understood his current situation; he had clearly been misunderstood.
He quickly shouted, "Don't shoot! They're on our side!"
The childish voice coming from inside the cave stunned Inspector Megure, who was holding a megaphone at the door: "That voice... it sounds so familiar."
Suddenly, Inspector Megure recognized the voice and quickly shouted, "Put down your gun, you're one of us!"
Then, Inspector Megure ran straight into the cave entrance, and as he expected, the voice was indeed coming from Kouyu. He asked, "Kouyu, what are you doing here?"
Guangyou hadn't recovered from the blinding flash of light yet, his eyes were bloodshot: "I came in to look for Conan, but I couldn't find him after searching for a long time. I only found three men lying on the road, so I followed the road out to call the police. I never expected this."
Inspector Megure then realized that the white light might have made Kousuke feel uncomfortable, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my fault."
Guangyou understood and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll just rest for a bit."
After all, who would have thought that a child would emerge from the cave? This is a common and very effective tactic used by the police, but it resulted in an accidental injury.
Despite the discomfort in his eyes, Kōyū walked out of the cave, where Ai and the others who were waiting outside the cave entrance also gathered around.
Ai asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Xiao Ai was startled by Kōyū's bloodshot eyes. Eye problems cannot be ignored. At Xiao Ai's repeated requests, Kōyū agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up in the ambulance.
...
After receiving a call from the police, Uncle Mori and Ran rushed to Beika General Hospital. Uncle Mori thought it was just a minor injury like a scratch, but to his surprise, Conan had a gunshot wound. His expression turned serious.
In contrast to Uncle Mori's attitude, Ran ran alongside the medical stretcher, comforting Conan as she went, showing great concern for his condition.
Guangyou had already completed the examination, and his eyes were fine. The doctor prescribed him a bottle of eye drops and told him to take care of them.
After finishing his examination, Kōyū walked to the operating room door and overheard a nurse saying to the doctor, "Dr. Fujiwara, something bad has happened. The previous patient used up the reserve blood of the same blood type as this boy during surgery, and our hospital has no more in stock! It will take another hour to get some from another hospital!"
Dr. Fujiwara's expression was unusually serious. He said directly to the nurse, "Go and request some backup blood. The injured person cannot be delayed. Let's take some other measures first."
After arranging for the nurses, he hurriedly addressed the people present, saying, "Does anyone here have the same blood type as this little boy? The hospital's blood reserves are exhausted! The situation is extremely urgent!"
Xiao Lan, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to say, "Me! Take my blood! My blood type is the same as this child's!"
Kōyū also raised his hand: "Me too!"
Without thinking twice, Dr. Fujiwara quickly said to another nurse beside him, "Go and draw some blood from them. Based on this situation, the child needs about 400cc of blood."
The nurse quickly took Xiaolan and Guangyou to the blood collection room.
Conan, lying on the bed, hadn't lost consciousness. His eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was complex: "So, he found out after all...."
...
After the two finished drawing blood and Conan finished the surgery, it was already late at night. Ayumi and the other two had already gone home to sleep after seeing that Conan's surgery was successful.
The entire city had fallen silent, and only a few drunkards remained on the streets late at night; ordinary people were already asleep at home.
Ran, who was in the hospital, was not sleepy at all. She was busy wiping Conan's body and checking whether his condition had worsened.
She would finally manage to fall asleep for a while, only to be jolted awake again. The first thing she would do upon waking was to check on Conan's health. But she was no iron woman, and unable to stay awake any longer, she simply lay down on Conan's hospital bed and fell asleep.
After seeing Ran asleep through the crack in the hospital room door, Kōyū quietly closed the door, turned around and went back to Professor Agasa's house with Ai. Uncle Mori was still guarding outside the door, but he was already asleep.
...
Back at Professor Agasa's house, Ai Haibara, seeing Kosuke's nonchalant expression, asked, "Ran should already know Conan's identity, right?"
Kōyū shook his head: "She is currently caught between certainty and doubt. You could say she's certain, or you could say she's just doubting. After all, shrinking is still hard to believe. If someone were to impersonate her and have Shinichi appear to put on a show for Ran, then Ran would overturn her own beliefs."
