Chapter 1620 1628 [Go to the hospital to catch Ireland]
Hearing Conan's question, the security captain touched the bribe money he had just received from Ireland and sobered up a little.
"Handled? Well... I didn't handle it at the time. After all, it's not unforgivable for a young man, well, a middle-aged man to make a mistake for his idol. He just wanted to get close to those idols too much."
The security captain felt a little guilty as he spoke, so he changed his words and said, "Besides, he is so strong that it would be difficult for us to stop him if he insisted on breaking through, so we had no choice but to let him go.
"And it turns out that our decision was a very wise one. You don't know, I heard that the guy fainted and passed out just after he walked out of the building. He must have a hidden illness that would flare up when he got excited. What if we get serious with him and he dies in this building? It's not that we're worried about getting into trouble, but that's a life after all, and we're saving lives by rounding it off like this."
Conan looked at his bulging pockets: "..." This is not what a security captain would say. Did you take the money?
He always felt that there was something else going on, but when he asked again, the security captain refused to say anything and started pretending to be drunk.
Conan sighed and had to leave temporarily.
He left the office but did not leave. Instead, he wandered around for a while, then grabbed another security guard who was passing by and asked about the previous situation.
Conan was also lucky, as he could easily catch a passerby who held important clues.
"Are you talking about the unlucky man who hurried to the side door but was met by two security captains and his identity was exposed on the spot?"
The security guard who was stopped happened to be passing by the scene and overheard the situation there. He was a bit gossipy, and the security guard looked around and quietly shared a secret with Conan:
"I heard that he was a rich second-generation who disguised himself as a security guard to sneak into the venue in order to chase stars and meet the goddess. After being found out, he gave a large sum of money to the two security captains, and the security captains pretended that they saw nothing and let him pass."
Conan was full of questions after hearing this: "Rich second generation? Crazy fan?"... Why does it sound so fantastic? It is not what he expected at all.
He quickly found something wrong: "If he was here to chase his idol, why did he run outside? I heard from the security captain that the show hadn't ended yet and the actors were all backstage. He probably hadn't seen his idol yet."
"I don't know." The gossipy security guard shrugged, "But I guess it's because he's too shy - maybe when he was peeping from the backstage, he happened to make eye contact with the idol, and then he ran away dazed, blushing and heartbeating. I've been a security guard for so many years, and I've seen too many such otakus. They are always very enthusiastic online, but when they meet in person, they are timid and dare not say a word, as if they are facing some venomous snake or beast."
“Is that so?”
Conan felt that his strange knowledge had increased.
But thinking back to the gloomy look of the "unlucky passerby" he met in the corridor before, Conan felt that this could never be associated with "shy star-chaser".
"Maybe it's just an excuse to get away..."
Although he had some questions in his mind, Conan did not delve into the issue while the security guard was in the mood to chat. He quickly asked all his questions: "By the way, there is one more thing - I heard that the second-generation rich fan fainted nearby. Is that true?"
The security guard said, "Indeed, there were quite a few people gathered at the side door before. I only heard that someone suddenly fell to the ground. It turned out that person was him."
Conan rolled his eyes, trying to take advantage of the opportunity: "So where did he go later?"
The security guard recalled the siren he had heard earlier: "He was taken away by an ambulance."
Conan's eyes lit up: "Which hospital did you go to?"
"Uh, I don't know about that." The security guard didn't expect that this kid was more nosy than himself. "I was busy working at the time and couldn't run over to watch. Even if I went, I wouldn't be able to ask these questions. We are not his family members."
Conan sighed regretfully, but still unwillingly said, "Then where is he going..."
"Conan!"
A voice came from the other end of the corridor, saving the innocent security guard from a cloud of question marks.
Conan turned around when he heard the familiar voice. He saw Mao Lilan rolling up her sleeves and walking over. Jiang Xia walked behind her, looking innocent as if she had tried to stop her but failed.
Conan: “…”
Perhaps it was because the aura emanating from this female high school student was too strong at this moment. By the time Conan came to his senses, the enthusiastic security guard had already quietly slipped away.
Conan was picked up, and Mao Lilan condemned him: "You just said not long ago that you would reflect on yourself and stop running around!"
Conan quietly defended himself: "...I just suddenly remembered the location of my luggage and was worried that it was lost, so I ran over immediately."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Children's attention is easily distracted. When they think about the luggage, they forget other things. That's why I forgot to tell the adults before I ran away."
Conan nodded repeatedly, feeling a little touched: Neighbors are still reliable!
...Although he failed to stop Xiaolan, Jiang Xia should have tried his best.
…
Conan, who left his teammates behind to ask for clues alone, was caught on the spot and forced to return to the team.
As he walked back dejectedly, Conan sorted out the clues he had just obtained and comforted himself: this trip back to the theater building was not without gain.
He got at least two clues.
One is "the unlucky passerby is a fan of a rich second-generation". Although this sounds like an excuse made up on the spot, it is still necessary to verify it for the sake of safety. There is never too much clue about the organization. For Conan, this is indeed easy to check - confirm the famous actors present today from Xiaolan's signature, and then ask Dr. Agasa to search among the fans of these people to see if there are any who meet the requirements.
The other clue is much more important.
Conan muttered happily, "That 'unlucky passerby' suddenly lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. If he is still lying in the hospital now, then I just need to find that hospital and I may be able to contact him in person! This is much easier than searching the whole city for him."
The mini detective with no limits soon came up with an idea.
Jiang Xia was talking to Mao Lilan and the others about tomorrow's flight tickets when he suddenly saw a child squatting on the ground in his peripheral vision.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw Conan holding his stomach in pain.
The elementary school student let out a cry of pain that was not weak at all: "Oh my, my stomach suddenly hurts!"
"..." Jiang Xia always felt that Kudo's acting was a bit stiff, but for the sake of the ghost and murderous aura, he still politely said, "What's wrong?"
