Chapter 666 It's really tough working for sales targets.
The word "anesthetic" confirmed Shinichi Kudo's suspicions.
After thanking the medical staff on the other end of the line, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.
He frowned and guessed, "So, this matter has nothing to do with Qianzhu, but rather someone has impersonated him."
"But why would that person use Qianzhu's identity?" Ran Mouri asked, puzzled, with a hint of indignation in her eyes.
"The thugs' target was probably Kudo, but they just happened to be alone, which gave them an opportunity."
The so-called thugs were actually members of a criminal organization, and Hattori Heiji instinctively helped to cover it up.
What he said wasn't without merit, so Ran and the others almost believed him, especially since they were unaware of the organization's existence.
They later received a call from the police.
Although Makoto Yata said that Chitake personally handed him the gun, they did not detect a second person's fingerprints on it, and according to the hospital's certificate, Chitake was not a suspect. In fact, others thought that Makoto Yata was just trying to drag innocent people into the mess.
Qianzhu, who was not suspected, lay on the hospital bed and slowly opened her eyes. There was no trace of drowsiness in her eyes; on the contrary, they were very clear, not like someone who had been asleep for a day.
He propped himself up with his hands and placed one hand over his heart.
After feeling his heart pounding slightly weakly for a few seconds, he calmly picked up his phone and made a call.
The person who answered the phone was Nishino Kazuya.
His first words were: "What is it? Your Excellency, what brings you here at this hour?"
"Help me find someone."
Ignoring the teasing in his tone, Qianzhu spoke calmly.
"Hmm? You need my help to find someone?"
Kazuya Nishino's tone was full of surprise.
He had been lying comfortably in bed, but upon hearing those words, he immediately sat up.
"This is your only chance."
Qianzhu's answer was irrelevant, but it made Nishino Kazuya's expression turn serious. "Who do you need me to find?"
After telling the other party the characteristics of the person she needed to find, Qianzhu hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Nishino Kazuya, on the other side, listened to the beeping sound coming from his phone, his surprise completely undisguised.
It's not exactly simple, but it's not exactly difficult either... not that difficult either.
Qianzhu opened the system panel and pondered silently for a moment.
After a while, he closed the system panel, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
He didn't stay at the hospital until Kogoro Mouri and the others arrived; instead, he discharged himself and made a phone call to inform them that he had been discharged and was going home.
When Chizuku left, Kogoro Mouri and his crew were still solving a murder case that had occurred on the highway.
...
When Mori and his group returned, Shinichi Kudo had already turned back into a child, and because he had developed drug resistance, the duration of this state was getting shorter and shorter.
The next day, the detective team went camping again.
Well, Death really works hard to achieve his goals.
Kawasaki Machi was sipping a bottle of juice when his car suddenly broke down, causing him to choke.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough, cough cough..."
"Oh, Machi, are you alright?" Ayumi patted his back tenderly.
"No way, Professor Agasa, the car broke down again? Did you check it properly before you set off?" Mitsuhiko leaned forward halfway and asked the somewhat careless Professor Agasa.
Professor Agasa scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, it's not a problem with the car, it's just that we forgot to fill up the tank."
"Huh? But it's already dusk! And we're still a long way from the campsite, aren't we?" Genta and the others were shocked.
"There's no other way. We either have to go back to the gas station we passed earlier to buy a can of gasoline, or wait here for a passing car, or go to that villa to answer a phone call."
Because mobile phones can't receive a signal, it would take about two hours to get back to the gas station, and there are usually no cars passing by on these mountain roads.
Just as they were about to walk to the villa that seemed to be quite far away, a very expensive-looking car drove by.
Professor Agasa quickly called out to him.
After the car stopped beside them, they realized that the driver was actually a young and beautiful woman.
She has beautiful long, burgundy curly hair.
The woman put her sunglasses on her head, leaned against the window, and looked at the group of an elderly man with six elementary school students. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Hello, what's wrong?"
"Ah, it's like this, we were just about to go camping, but our car suddenly ran out of gas, so could you please give us a ride to the nearest gas station?" Professor Agasa explained, scratching his head.
The woman nodded in sudden understanding. "Oh, I see. Normally I could help, but I'm in a hurry to get to that villa upstairs. I lost track of time playing today and just got a scolding on the phone, hahaha..."
She chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing, "By the way, mobile phones don't get a signal here, right? Otherwise, I can take you there to borrow a phone."
"Thank you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa and the children immediately cheered and thanked the woman after getting into the car.
"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor."
The woman drove up to the villa and stopped. There were already quite a few people waiting in the yard.
"Ms. Murai." A young woman who looked like a butler approached the car and greeted the woman politely.
As Murai Rena opened the car door and got out, she tossed her long hair aside, placed one hand on her waist, and looked at the butler, "Is everyone here?"
"Of course, why are you so slow?" Another female voice came from behind. She walked to the butler's side, looked at Murai Rena with slight dissatisfaction, and then looked curiously at the people who got out of her car. "By the way, who are they?"
"I met them downstairs. Since my car ran out of gas, I gave them a ride to borrow a phone," Murai Rena said casually.
"Then please follow me." The butler gestured for them to enter and then led them into the villa.
"Even if we call now, the gas station won't be able to deliver that quickly. Would you kids like to come and sit in the living room for a while?" Murai Rena was as enthusiastic as her hair color.
Butler: "Then I'll go prepare some drinks for everyone. Would orange juice be alright?"
"Of course, thank you, housekeeper."
The boys sat obediently on the sofa and waited.
