Chapter 1243 1251 [Suzuki Sonoko's Script]
While handing over the things, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but ask the homeless man: "Why do you always draw the same scene over and over again? Is that your old home?"
"...Home?" The homeless man showed a dull look. After a moment of silence, he began to mutter, "Who am I? Who am I? I, I can't even remember my own name! -Ah!!!"
He hit his head hard several times, and suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Kuroba Kaito watched the man fall to the ground at his feet and couldn't help but take a step back: "..."Bang, hit and run?
Mist Tengu walked closer and looked at the homeless man.
When Kuroba Kaito saw this scene, he came to his senses and said reflexively: "Wait, he's not dead yet!"
Jiang Xia: “…” Even if the monster died, it wouldn’t take him away and treat him as dried human meat. Why are you so excited?
The homeless man's voice just now was very loud, and it seemed that there were employees in the haunted house looking for the "male high school student who disappeared for no reason". Soon, footsteps were approaching here.
"...I'm leaving first." Jiang Xia didn't care any more and left Kidd to clean up the situation. He put on a new headgear and climbed over the fence. His back quickly disappeared in the amusement park.
…
At this time, Aoko Nakamori was also searching for the missing Kuroba Kaito with the employees of the haunted house.
As she felt worried, she couldn't help but wonder if the guy was trying to pretend to be missing and transform into "Kaito Kid" to steal.
Now, when she came to the side of the house and found that the person was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why were you running around just now!" Nakamori Aoko was a little angry.
But when she got closer, she suddenly found a person lying in the bushes next to her. She immediately forgot to continue scolding her neighbor and was startled: "...What happened?!"
When Kuroba Kaito saw her reaction, he suddenly had an idea.
He rejected the cowardly excuse that Kiri Tengu had just given him, and said seriously:
"When I was in the haunted house just now, I vaguely felt a figure outside the side window. I realized something was wrong, so I ran out to take a look. Then I saw this uncle... Call an ambulance quickly, he might still be saved!"
"Okay, okay!" Nakamori Aoko's attention was indeed diverted.
She also remembered what happened in the gallery just now, so she recognized the homeless man lying on the ground next to her at a glance - since this person had wandered around in the gallery, it was natural that he might also run around in the haunted house.
She no longer doubted what Kuroba Kaito said, and hurriedly took out her cell phone and made a call.
…
Next door gallery.
In the living room.
The sound of the ambulance arriving faintly penetrated into the house, startling the sleepy Suzuki Sonoko.
The tips of her ears twitched slightly, and she woke up immediately, sitting up straight - she was so familiar with the ringing of police cars and ambulances!
But this time...it seems like there's only an ambulance, but no police car?
Suzuki Sonoko was a little confused.
But she had caught this rare opportunity to get out of the negotiations, so how could she let it go?
"Jiang Xia, something happened!" She turned around and was about to pat Jiang Xia to wake him up.
However, when I turned around, I found that Jiang Xia was not only awake, but he had even walked to the window and was looking out.
After a moment, the young detective retracted his gaze and said seriously, "It looks like something happened at the amusement park."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." She almost forgot that Jiang Xia would be more sensitive than her when it comes to "accidents"...
She stood up decisively: "Shall we go over and take a look?"
This time, Jiang Xia did not refuse.
The two men left the expert who was still working hard to identify the paintings, slipped out of the door, and headed straight for the amusement park.
Then he met up with two equally enthusiastic high school students and sent the homeless uncle, whom he had met once, to the hospital.
…
"Amnesia?"
Several high school students didn't expect to accidentally encounter this kind of development.
They were surprised to confirm the facts about the homeless man: "Is he amnesiac or mentally ill? In fact, we feel that some of his behaviors are very strange."
"It's amnesia." The doctor seemed to be very experienced in this, as he seemed to encounter a few amnesia patients every now and then.
He said confidently: "The sudden headache before was because his memory was slowly recovering - don't worry, we have contacted the police and I believe there will be results soon."
…
The matter seemed to be over. The four high school students nodded and planned to leave the hospital and continue with their previous work.
As she walked toward the hospital gate, Suzuki Sonoko would occasionally peek at Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko standing beside her. She always had the illusion that she was hanging out with Kudo Shinichi and Ran - yes, even the fact that they were "prone to encounter incidents" was so similar.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion behind me.
"?" The four people turned around in surprise.
Then I saw the doctor from before, along with several nurses, running to the hospital gate.
They looked outside but saw no one.
The doctor then pointed to the side and said to the two nurses, "Go to the emergency exit over there. I'll contact the security guard at the back door."
Suzuki Sonoko stared at the scene blankly: "... Could something have really happened?"
Kuroba Kaito also asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
When the doctor saw that it was them, he sighed and said, "When the nurse went to the ward just now, she found that the patient you brought was missing."
Suzuki Sonoko's heart skipped a beat: "Could he have been tricked and killed? - His amnesia may be because he witnessed some horrible crime scene, and because his mind was too shocked to accept it, he lost his memory. But even so, the devil did not let him go, but came back again!"
Jiang Xia glanced at her: "..." You have a really wild imagination. Vodka should ask you to write a script. Maybe you can add a little more murderous spirit to the drink.
"...No way." The doctor was also stunned for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly thought so far.
He hesitated and said, "We found the hospital gown in the room. There were no signs of tearing the clothes, and the luggage was missing. The patient must have changed into his own clothes and left with the luggage."
…
A group of people helped to search for a while but failed to find the person.
Not long after, the police arrived and took over, and the high school students had to leave the hospital and go about their business.
Soon it was evening.
Suzuki Sonoko and Jiang Xia had a meal outside, but didn't find any new entertainment, so they went back home.
Kuroba Kaito also wanted to go home and be a phantom thief, but he was stopped by Nakamori Aoko, who suspected that he was "Phantom Thief Kid", and he could not find an excuse to leave.
It was already past seven in the evening - and eight in the evening was the time of the theft that Kidd had predicted. If it was any later, Inspector Nakamori would not be able to catch up.
Kuroba Kaito sighed in his heart and decided to follow the advice given by Kiri Tengu, or Jiang Xia, and let Jiang Xia replace "Kuroba Kaito" tonight to deal with Nakamori Aoko's suspicion.
