Chapter 665 Suffering from the Persecution of Being Asked Every Question
Upon hearing this, the real Shinichi Kudo looked surprised. "That boy? Who is he?"
"That's the boy who came with you!"
Seeing Makoto Yata's wide-open eyes and tears streaming down his face, Shinichi Kudo and the others felt a jolt of surprise.
He wasn't lying!
"He...you mean Chizuru!? That's impossible! He has no reason to ask you to kill Miss Kawauchi, does he!?"
Many of the fans who were somewhat obsessed with Qianzhu directly refuted this.
"Oh no, we need to get back to the hotel!"
Shinichi Kudo's eyelids twitched, and he turned to shout at them.
Makoto Yata was detained by the police, while Kogoro Mouri and the others rushed back to the hotel.
Suddenly, when they opened the door to Qianzhu's room, they found it empty.
After inquiring with the hotel staff, they said the boy had not left the hotel.
Shinichi Kudo opened the balcony window and looked down, but he didn't see any trace left behind.
Although he was eager to find Chizuku's whereabouts, the antidote for the APTX-4969 experimental phase could only keep him in the form of Shinichi Kudo for twenty-four hours.
And now, the time is almost up.
Originally, it was speculated that Heiji Hattori might take Shinichi Kudo to the restroom, but Ai Haibara and Professor Agasa were still quietly waiting.
Until someone knocked on the wall next door, they heard a familiar, gentle voice, "Ai?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, thinking they had misheard. "Qianzhu? What are you doing here?"
"Because I thought that Kudo's situation might require you to bring the antidote over again, I came to check on things first," Qianzhu continued, with a hint of certainty.
After a slight pause, he continued, "The effects of the medicine on Kudo's side may be wearing off soon. Should I bring the antidote over now?"
"That would be perfect. I'll give you the antidote right now."
Perhaps out of trust in Chizuru, or perhaps because Shinichi Kudo needed to conceal his identity, Ai Haibara quickly agreed and handed the antidote to Chizuru from above.
Qianzhu held the antidote in his hand, his smile seeming to widen slightly. He whispered, "Thank you, Ai~"
Ai Haibara's pupils suddenly contracted!
"you……!"
As Qianzhu left the toilet stall, she turned back and waved goodbye gently, saying, "Goodbye, thank you for the antidote."
"Ai, what's wrong?"
Dr. Agasa, who had lifted her up, felt the girl's trembling body and quickly put her back on the ground.
Ai Haibara suddenly looked up at him, her tone quick and serious, perfectly masking the tremor in her voice, "Quick! Call Kudo and the others! That wasn't Chizuru!"
After saying that, she took out another pill from her pocket. "Just to be on the safe side, I brought an extra antidote. Tell Hattori Heiji to come and get it quickly!"
"I...I understand!"
This was a serious matter, so Dr. Agasa immediately took out his phone and called Heiji Hattori, telling him to come and get the antidote right away.
They couldn't come forward because it would be difficult to explain.
After all, Heiji Hattori mentioned earlier that Conan had already taken the bus back to Professor Agasa's house.
Upon receiving the call, Hattori Heiji glanced at Kudo Shinichi, who was already feeling unwell, nodded, and immediately ran to the restroom where they were. After obtaining the antidote, he quickly returned to the hotel, pretending to feed him cold medicine and make him take the antidote.
Shinichi Kudo immediately felt much better in his heart.
Seeing that he seemed to be in less pain, Ran Mouri, who was extremely anxious, finally felt her heart relax a little.
Heiji Hattori silently breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up his phone and answered the call.
It was Professor Agasa and his group calling again.
“The guy who was with you wasn’t Qianzhu. He just took an antidote from me.” Although her heart was still racing, Ai Haibara remained outwardly calm.
"Hmm." Hattori Heiji responded and whispered into his phone, "We guessed it too. Because that guy instigated Yata, who had plastic surgery to look like Kudo, to kill a reporter, and Yata revealed it, this time he's targeting not only Kudo, but also Chino."
He glanced back at Shinichi Kudo and continued, "Since he knows what the antidote is, is that guy a member of that organization?"
Ai Haibara nodded in response, "He clearly knows that Kudo has become Edogawa, possibly knows that I have developed an experimental antidote, and understands Chitake's way of doing things. Combining these characteristics together, I can't think of anyone else but him."
"Petrandsie".
After hanging up the phone, Heiji Hattori took a deep breath, went to Shinichi Kudo's side, and whispered to him, relaying Ai Haibara's guesses to him.
Shinichi Kudo's expression remained unchanged, still very solemn. "I guessed it too, but the most important thing now is where that guy took Chizuku. I'm sure the Chizuku we arrived at Okuho Village with is the real him."
Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement. "I think it was probably during the time after you made an excuse to go back to the hotel, and Chino also went back to the hotel, that guy made a move on Chino."
While they were discussing, Kogoro Mouri suddenly received a phone call, the volume of which was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it. "What did you say? Chizuru is in the hospital right now!?"
The person on the other end seemed startled by his loud voice, and after pausing for a few seconds, continued, "Yes, that's right, Mr. Chino is currently receiving treatment at our hospital."
When they heard Kogoro Mouri utter his first words, Shinichi Kudo and the other three leaned close to his ear to listen.
"When was he admitted to the hospital?" Shinichi Kudo asked directly into his phone.
"It was around 2 p.m. yesterday. He was brought here by a young man in a black cloak. At that time, Mr. Chino was already unconscious."
Hit by the protagonist's skill "always answers questions", the person who called back answered and even provided another clue: "Also, the young man in the cloak who brought Mr. Chino said that I should call his family when I have time. I've been quite busy these past two days, so I only found the opportunity to tell you about this."
Upon hearing the other party's words, all five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great." Ran Mouri patted her chest, relieved of her worries.
"How is he doing now?" Kogoro Mouri asked again.
"Mr. Chino's current physical condition may not be very good, but it is not so bad as to be life-threatening. However, he has been injected with a large dose of anesthetic, so he is still asleep."
The medical staff on the other side could be said to have suffered greatly from the "answer every question" mentality.
