Chapter 461 Don't let those lunatics catch you and take you back.
A sense of foreboding inexplicably surfaced in Ai Haibara's mind. Her pupils constricted slightly, and she instinctively looked at Bertrand... "You..."
"I—" Bertrand raised an eyebrow, grinning as he finished her sentence, "Do I want to turn Chi-chan into a specimen?"
Seeing their drastically changed expressions, Bertrand laughed silently, his shoulders trembling slightly. He wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "I would never do that~"
"I just want to take him away, lock him up, and make sure his eyes are always fixed on me."
Bertrand's voice was low and somber. He gently cupped Qianzhu's cheek in his hand and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth with the pad of his thumb.
Under Conan's and Conan's gaze, the silver-haired boy lowered his head, his lips briefly touching the corner of the boy's closed eyes before pulling away.
Holding the boy in his arms, Bertrand glanced at the two of them, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. "I really hate you two."
"Since I met you guys, Chi-chan has been to the hospital a lot more often."
It's easier to just blame things on others.
Bertrand was secretly delighted.
Conan and Ai Haibara were stunned, the scene flashing through their minds.
Bertrand scoffed, "If it weren't for saving you, I would have suspected it was all part of your conspiracy, since I encountered a murder while following you."
As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with suspicion.
Conan was speechless, unable to come up with any reason to refute him.
Ai Haibara, who had been keeping a close eye on Chizuru's condition, tugged at Conan's clothes with slight anxiety and whispered to him, "The most important thing right now is to check on Chizuru's condition. There's no time to feel guilty right now."
Conan's expression turned serious as he activated his wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun and aimed it at Bertrand. His intentions were quite clear.
Bertrand looked at him calmly for a few seconds, then snorted and turned his head away, his meaning quite clear.
During the standoff between the two, the boy in Bertrand's arms suddenly coughed, immediately drawing the attention of all three.
Qianzhu opened his eyes, sat up from Bertrand's embrace, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and suppressed coughs kept coming from his mouth. His face was terribly pale, and blood dripped from between his fingers as he coughed up blood.
He was hunched over, covering his mouth with both hands, his whole body trembling.
Conan and Ai Haibara quickly approached him and handed him a handkerchief.
Bertrand watched quietly from the side until Qianzhu calmed down a bit. She would only cough occasionally and wipe the blood off her hands with a handkerchief. Then, he moved over, supporting himself on the ground with both hands, and tilted his head to look at Qianzhu.
"Are you feeling unwell, Chi-chan? Do you want to come back to the organization with me? I can have someone develop a medicine for you~"
He grinned and brought his face close to Qianzhu's, his tone sounding as if he only wanted Qianzhu to go to the organization with him, and didn't care about his recent relapse.
Qianzhu coughed lightly twice, glanced at him, and stood up with the help of Conan and Ai Haibara. Her voice was indifferent, "No need, and it's not necessary to go to such trouble."
Bertrand sat on the ground, looking up at him, his expression gradually fading until he uttered a single syllable, "Oh," without any expression on his face.
Watching them leave the room, Bertrand stood up, clapped his hands, crossed his arms, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "You'd better be careful not to get caught by those lunatics, or you'll drag me down with you."
