111

In the cold hospital, several children sat on chairs in the corridor with their heads down, looking worried. Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the stairs. A man ran over in a hurry and asked breathlessly, "How is Conan now?"

"I just received a blood transfusion and I'm in surgery." Mao Lilan, who was wearing a sky blue knitted sweater, responded with a forced spirit. Her right hand gently stroked her left arm, where there was a medical bandage. Obviously, the blood transfusion just now was provided by the girl.

"So that's how it is..." Noel murmured softly, finally recalling that there was a passage in the original work where Conan was indeed injured and needed a blood transfusion, and Mori Ran, who theoretically shouldn't have known Conan's blood type, firmly believed that the other party had the same type A blood as herself and therefore provided blood. This also shows that at this time Mori Ran was basically convinced that Conan was Kudo Shinichi. Of course, Conan forcibly concealed the truth later in the plot.

It turns out it was already there... Noel heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking it was caused by his butterfly effect. It was not to clear himself, but if it was what would happen in the original book, there would be no danger to his life. If it was caused by his butterfly effect, he was really not sure how powerful the original plot would be.

"Brother Kong, thank you for taking so much trouble...Brother Kong?" The girl wanted to say thank you, but before she could finish, she saw the man in front of her suddenly stagger and fall to the side.

Mao Lilan quickly reached out to help, and the man reacted immediately and leaned against the side wall. If the hospital corridor was not narrow, he would definitely have fallen heavily.

"Brother Kong, I'll go get the doctor," the girl in the hospital reacted quickly and turned around to call for a doctor, but was stopped by Noel who grabbed her sleeve.

"No... no need," Noel tried his best to stay awake, forced a smile and comforted her, "I just have a little low blood sugar."

Combined with the defeated and sweaty face, these words were not very convincing. Obviously, Mao Lilan did not believe it. She looked at the man seriously and wanted to say something, but suddenly her eyes froze and the words stopped coming out of her throat.

"Sister Xiaolan, let Brother Kong sit down and rest for a while." Huibara Ai, who was sitting next to her, stood up and gave up her seat and said to the girl.

Xiaolan seemed to wake up suddenly, and replied cautiously: "Well, okay..."

The girl gently let go of the man's hand that was holding her sleeve, and slowly helped him sit on the bench in the corridor. The children from the detective team also made way for them one after another, looking worriedly at the big brother who had been taking care of them.

The children were vaguely aware of the man's poor health, but when they suddenly saw him leaning so weakly on the chair, they didn't dare to speak loudly for a moment. They could only hold back their tears and gather around him, watching anxiously. They wanted to help but didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, don't disturb him yet." At this time, the calm Huihara Ai became everyone's pillar. The girl instructed in a cold voice in an orderly manner: "Sister Xiaolan, please get some water for Brother Kong. The rest of you should stay away and speak in a low voice."

Everyone nodded and separated. A few children, afraid of disturbing each other, squeezed into the chairs opposite each other, looking at the man nervously.

How dare you drive to the hospital without taking medicine? How dare you be so brave?

Haibara Ai looked at the man's body trembling, sighed in her heart, slowly approached him, then rolled her eyes at the shocked gazes of the detective team behind her, and pulled down the man's sleeve at an angle where they could not see.

You don't even wear a coat in this weather. The sleeves are so loose. Are you afraid that others won't see the injury on your wrist? Thinking of Xiaolan's eyes just now, Huibara looked at Noel with resentment. Now, let's see how you explain it to these two people.

"Are you feeling better?" Xiaolan came over hurriedly with a glass of water. She subconsciously looked at the other person's wrist and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was covered. Behind him, Maori Kogoro had just returned from communicating with the hospital. When he saw Noel sitting there weakly, he subconsciously frowned:

"Why is this guy here, and he looks like this."

"Why don't you contact a doctor, Xiaolan?" The experienced Kogoro Maori naturally realized that the other party's appearance was not just due to weakness. He immediately guessed that some disease was acting up and turned to say to his daughter.

"It's okay, just low blood sugar." Noel, who was gradually regaining his senses, said hastily. It was a bit hasty for him to come here so suddenly. He could only try his best to think of an excuse so as not to be taken to the hospital for examination. He couldn't guarantee what his body would detect.

"Dad, if Kong doesn't want to go, then forget it." Xiaolan held her father with a look of disapproval. Maori Kogoro also knew that his daughter was not the type to stop her friends from getting a physical check-up, and he also realized that the other party had some reasons, so he didn't want to force her. He turned around and left and walked towards the smoking area. He was not in a very good mood today.

———

The operation was over, and Conan, who was still in a coma, was transferred to the ward. Upon hearing the news, the Maori father and daughter and the children of the detective team immediately ran to visit him. Ai turned around and was about to follow them, but found that Noel on the chair had no intention of getting up.

"It should have recovered by now, don't you want to go check it out?"

"I won't go," Noel rubbed his temples and made sure the pain in his head had basically subsided. He said helplessly, "Anyway, I just need to recover from now on."

"You drove over here in this state, and you seemed to care about him, but in the end you didn't even meet him?"

"No need," Noel yawned and waved his hand, "It looks like he will be unconscious for a while. I don't have the time to wait for him to wake up. I'm leaving now. Bye."

After saying that, Noel suddenly stood up, but suddenly his body staggered twice before he could stand steadily. He could only hold on to the wall with difficulty, and met Huibara Ai's eyes that were watching the show:

"Why, can you drive now?"

"Why not? It's okay for me to come..." Noel said arrogantly, but suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, a familiar voice came:

"What happened when you came?"

The police officer with semi-long hair looked kind and gentle with his drooping eyes. He walked behind Noel in a few steps with his long legs and put his arm over him. Noel, who was still a little weak, almost fell to the ground with his feet weak, but the police officer quickly held his arm.

"Xiao Kong, do you want to drive home in this state?" The police officer said this in a teasing tone, which was somewhat threatening. Hagiwara Kenji was wearing a suit with the light behind him. With a height of 1.9 meters, he looked very intimidating, like a gangster from somewhere. Of course, if it was Matsuda Jinpei who came, he would be a gangster boss without any lighting.

"Uncle, you have no right to say that." Noel was silent for a moment and then said stubbornly. He had only ridden in Hagihara Kenji's car once and he almost vomited. He didn't believe that he was not speeding at that speed!

"I'll take you home." Hagiwara Kenji quietly reached out his other hand to share the weight of the arm holding Noel, thinking, is this child so heavy? He almost failed to lift him up just now.

"What are you doing here?" Noel asked with a frown. This part would not have appeared in the original book.

"Come and see Conan." Unexpectedly, Hagiwara Kenji said in a familiar tone, "The child was a little too impulsive. He was injured so badly this time." For a police officer who is dedicated to protecting the people, it is extremely heartbreaking to see a child being hit by a criminal. After handling the follow-up of the case, he hurried to the hospital. He just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news from the doctor that the child was fine, but when he came out, he saw the man almost unable to stand.

"Are you familiar with him?" Noel was attracted by the relationship between the two and couldn't help asking. He didn't pay much attention to the scientific cases of the Butterfly Queen, and at this time he finally realized what he had overlooked.

"I'm quite familiar with him. I always run into him when I'm working on cases," Hagiwara Kenji said with a rare hint of smile in his tone, "But I always feel that he's smart and mature, not like a child."

"Indeed, Conan has a very high IQ." Noel didn't say much, and he wasn't sure whether Hagiwara Kenji had noticed something was wrong. No one in the police academy team should be underestimated, but shrinking the body was definitely not something that a normal person could think of.

So, is Kenji Hagihara's brain circuit normal?

"So Xiao Zhenping and I discussed whether he was a bionic man. For this reason, Xiao Zhenping wanted to find an opportunity to meet him and take him apart..."

"Uh..." Noel was speechless for a moment, his eyes were crescent-shaped, and he had no idea what to say. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been dragged to the hospital entrance by the other party.

"Wait, I..."

"Why, you don't want me to take you back?"

"No, it's because..." Noel was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang. Under Hagiwara Kenji's watching eyes, Noel had no choice but to answer the call.

"Where are you now, No..."

"Xiao Guang, I'll be back right away!" Noel interrupted hastily, fearing that the other party would say something he shouldn't. On the other side, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who realized that there was someone next to Noel, also calmed down and asked, "Brother, where are you now?"

"Xiao Guang, your brother seems to be worrying you again." Hagiwara Kenji's very recognizable voice came from the other side of the phone. Morobushi Kagemitsu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then can Officer Hagiwara send my brother back? He is not in good health and I am a little worried."

"Of course, no problem." Hagihara Kenji readily agreed, and under Noel's incredulous look, he had a brief discussion with the other party and hung up the phone.

Noel looked at the other party's smooth movements and finally realized something. It turned out that you two were working together to sell me out!
