The gods' favor seemed to have expired, and the timer on the bomb started running again. Every second the timer lost was like a hammer blow to Conan's heart.
Conan grew increasingly anxious, his feet suddenly accelerating as he narrowly squeezed through the gaps between the cars, turned onto a side road, and launched his bicycle into the air along the slope.
With five seconds left, Conan, seeing the time running out, jumped off his bicycle, fell onto the lawn, and slid down the grass.
Just in time, with a loud "boom," a black mushroom cloud rose up, and cars on the highway next to it were also affected by the huge commotion, resulting in a car accident.
Conan, who was closest to the bomb, couldn't withstand the bomb's powerful impact and was thrown backward, his body slamming into a tree and knocking him unconscious.
On the other side, Ran had already picked out a gift for Shinichi: a red casual shirt. There were no other fancy things, just a simple red casual shirt. It wasn't expensive, but I think every boy would want to receive a gift like that.
Ran blushed slightly as she thought about Shinichi's reaction to the gift. Sonoko teased her, "Ran, who's usually so fierce, actually gets all lovey-dovey sometimes! I really want to take a picture and show it to Shinichi!"
Hearing this, Xiaolan blushed even more, not knowing how to explain. However, thinking about the meeting tonight, Xiaolan hoped that time would pass quickly so that she could see her beloved whom she had not seen for a long time.
Meanwhile, as Kōyū prepared the food, he wanted to invite Professor Agasa and Ai to come and eat.
Then I saw Professor Agasa answer a phone call, and then hurriedly get ready to go out.
Guangyou asked, somewhat puzzled, "Doctor, where are you going?"
After finishing his work, Professor Agasa said with some concern, "Shinichi has been hospitalized. I need to go see him!"
"Alright, Ai and I won't go. Doctor, you take these with you."
As he spoke, Guangyou took a bento box from the kitchen, made a simple bento, and asked the doctor to take it to the hospital.
The doctor took the lunchbox and went to the hospital.
Ai, wearing a white lab coat, came out of her lab and sat down at the table: "Is Kudo injured?"
Kōyū nodded: "Yeah, they should be fine. By the way, Ai, how's the antidote?"
Ai ate her food in small bites and said, "It's alright. With your help, it went relatively smoothly overall. It's finished now, but I don't want to give it to Kudo so soon."
"That's what I was thinking too. By the way, now that the antidote is ready, let's go out for a stroll this afternoon!"
Looking at the expectant Guangyou, Ai didn't know why she hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The portion of food wasn't much, and the two finished eating quickly. Kōyū tidied up, while Ài went to change her clothes.
Soon, excited, Kōyū and Ai went out to sweep the streets.
As they were closing Dr. Guan's door, Ai suddenly asked Kousuke, "Are you sure you want to go out?"
Guangyou pointed to his wallet: "Don't worry, buy whatever you like. It's not much, but it should be enough."
Seeing the extremely excited Kousuke, Ai swallowed back the words she was about to say.
When Dr. Agasa arrived at the hospital, the three members of the Detective Boys and Uncle Mori, who was acting as a guardian, were already sitting by Conan's bedside.
Conan's injuries were not serious; apart from a minor head injury, he was otherwise fine.
Soon, to everyone's anticipation, Conan opened his eyes.
Seeing Conan wake up, the three members of the Detective Boys smiled. Ayumi was extremely excited: "Conan, you're awake!"
Genta, who was standing next to him, asked, "Conan, are you alright?"
Looking at the pristine white ceiling and the people around him, Conan was somewhat bewildered: "Where am I?"
The seated Mori uncle looked very serious and demanded, "Conan, what exactly is going on here! Explain yourself!"
Professor Agasa quickly pulled the agitated Uncle Mori away.
Although Uncle Mori is usually carefree and constantly complains about Conan, his concern for Conan is revealed at this moment.
Humans aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Having lived together for so long, even though Conan sometimes causes trouble and steals the spotlight, Uncle Mori has long considered him a member of the agency.
Uncle Mori would never admit it was because of the huge child support payments. Well, absolutely not!
Inspector Megure, who was standing at the door, couldn't wait any longer. Knowing that Conan had woken up, he opened the door and asked, "Conan, although it's not a good time to ask these questions, could you tell me about them now?"
Conan nodded and told Inspector Megure about the mysterious man and what had happened before.
Inspector Megure stroked his chin, looking out the window: "I see. So, you rode away with the explosives on your bike to avoid others being affected by the blast wave."
Remembering the mysterious man, Conan hurriedly said to Inspector Megure, "Shinichi said that the criminal can answer his cell phone anytime, but aren't cell phones not allowed in hospitals?"
Inspector Megure's next words dispelled Conan's doubts: "Don't worry, this ward is different from the others. It's all independent. There are no medical electronic devices here, so you can still use your mobile phone. I came here because of what Professor Agasa told me."
Conan, recalling the boy on the bicycle, said somewhat embarrassedly to Uncle Mori, "Um, I broke someone else's bicycle, Uncle, could you help me replace it?"
Conan was also helpless about this. He didn't have enough change to pay back the debt, and the child support his parents gave him was all with Uncle Mori. He was practically penniless.
Thinking of Kōyū, that money-grubber, Conan sighed inwardly: Why is there such a huge difference!
Although Uncle Mori is greedy for money, he knows what's important and scolds Conan in a stern tone: "Let's not talk about that. Tell me why you were so reckless. If something had gone wrong, you would have lost your life!"
Conan quickly apologized.
Uncle Mori was clearly dissatisfied and angry with Shinichi for being nowhere to be found and for sending a child to do such a dangerous thing: "Where is Shinichi anyway! Wasn't it Shinichi who received that man's call?"
Hearing this question, Professor Agasa panicked a little and quickly made up an excuse: "Shinichi just happened to have something else to do, so he asked Conan for help."
Uncle Mori clenched his fists and assumed a judo stance: "How can there be such a person! I'll definitely teach him a lesson next time I see him, and I'll make sure Ran stays away from that arrogant brat!"
Lying in bed, Conan thought helplessly: "Uncle! I didn't want this either! But how can I tell you this? I'm helpless too! Am I supposed to tell you I'm Shinichi Kudo?! I hope Mitsuyu and the others can quickly create a permanent antidote!"
