"Ring ring~"
The phone rang suddenly.
Wearing a mask, Ai picked up the phone and said:
"Is this Professor Agasa's house? What brings you here?"
A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Akira Tomoaki's"
"I'm a newcomer."
"I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
After expressing his apologies, "Shin-ichi Akechi" went straight to the point:
"Excuse me, is Professor Agasa here?"
Looking back at the tape recorder playing a cassette tape, "Ai" replied:
"The doctor is not here."
"He must have gone out with Edogawa-kun."
Upon hearing this, Shinichiro was somewhat puzzled.
He asked, puzzled:
"They went out?"
"But I clearly heard their voices!"
"That's the sound of a cassette tape."
After replying, Ai sat back on the sofa and pressed the pause button on the recorder.
The conversation abruptly stopped.
She then continued:
"I wonder what they're up to."
“The recording has been playing since just now.”
After explaining, Ai asked:
"What do you need the doctor for?"
Seeing that neither Professor Agasa nor Conan were home, "Anaide Tomoaki" then revealed his purpose:
Actually, I wanted to find you.
"Because when I saw you at the mall last time, your cold was quite severe."
"And judging from your voice, your cold probably isn't completely gone yet?"
"I happen to be free today."
"So I'd like you to go to a hospital with better facilities for a check-up."
"I asked a classmate of mine who works at a hospital."
He said he was going on a business trip in a couple of days and was only free tonight.
"Although it's a bit sudden, I wanted to ask if it's okay for me to pick you up now?"
"I'll call Professor Agasa again in a bit."
Perhaps feeling that this matter was indeed too sudden, "Shin-Ide Tomoaki" added:
"Of course, you don't have to force yourself if you don't want to go."
"In a few days, you can take the referral letter I wrote to other hospitals."
It seemed as if he was thinking.
After a while, Ai replied:
"I don't care."
"Although I don't like others making decisions for me, I do feel that my cold is getting worse."
Upon hearing this, "Shinichi Akira" seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He said:
"Then it's decided."
"I should be able to get there in about half an hour."
"You can prepare first."
"Once I arrive, we'll head straight to the hospital."
“Okay,” Ai replied.
“See you later,” said Shinichiro.
...
See you later!
Hearing the voice coming from the earpiece, Judy's lips curled up slightly.
She got up from the chair, pushed open the door, and went out.
...
Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ding-dong~"
"Ding-dong~"
Upon hearing the doorbell, "Xiao Ai" did not lower the security chain but instead pushed the door open directly.
The person standing outside the door was not "Shin-ide Tomoaki" who had made the appointment with "her".
It was Judy.
When Ai Haibara saw Judy, her pupils contracted slightly, and she made a move to close the door.
But perhaps because of her illness, Judy moved a little faster.
Grab the door with your hands and brace your feet against the door crack.
After stopping Ai from closing the door, Jodie explained apologetically:
Oh~
"Sorry!"
"I'm so sorry to have startled you."
Let me introduce myself first.
"Dr. Araide and I were classmates at Teitan High School, and we were both English teachers."
"His car broke down a little on the way."
"So he asked me to come and pick you up."
"Would you be able to unlock the security chain?"
After staring at Judy for a while, Ai opened the security chain and went outside.
...
Shinichi encountered a vehicle that had been involved in an accident on the road.
Adding to the problem, there were cars behind me that prevented me from turning around, so I was stuck in traffic for a while.
Only then did he drive his car to the vicinity of Professor Agasa's house.
After glancing at the time, "Shin-ichiro" said with a hint of helplessness:
"Ah, it's a little later than the agreed time."
He had just turned a corner and was about to drive to Professor Agasa's house.
But just then, he saw his colleague, Ms. Judy, take "Ai" away.
After frowning slightly, "Shin-ichi Akira" drove off and followed.
...
at the same time.
On the third floor of the agency, Ai, disguised as Kousuke, had just woken up.
She touched her forehead with her hand, shook her head, and softly called Guangyou's name:
"Guangyou..."
She didn't mean to blame Guangyou; she just felt that Guangyou understood her very well.
I had guessed beforehand that she would go and help.
I deliberately added some sleeping pills to the bento box.
After regaining her composure, Ai checked the time.
I looked out the window again at the sky.
"There should still be time," Ai said softly, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Fortunately, she didn't finish her entire bento box.
If she finishes the entire bento box, she'll probably need to sleep for several hours before waking up.
Even if everything is not over by then, she won't have time to get there.
