Chapter 3501 3513 [Self-disciplined Okiya Subaru]
However, speaking of "not killing the people around me"...
Conan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was too early to be relieved. Xiaolan and Uncle Maori were indeed fine, but Vermouth's target was not originally these two ordinary people who knew nothing. In other words, the most dangerous person now was actually...
"Haibara!" Conan remembered something and quickly took out his cell phone, wanting to call the real target of this Vermouth.
While dialing the number, he prayed that Vermouth and her accomplices would not take advantage of the chaos to attack Haibara Ai.
But just then, Officer Gao Mu heard the name he was saying and said, "You mean that child? She's fine. Although the dock was in chaos just now, she was smart enough to hide next to the container. She just had some scrapes on her legs. Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Xia took her to the hospital for a checkup."
"Who?" Conan was stunned for a moment, "You mean... Huibara was also at the dock just now?!"
"Yeah, aren't you two together?" Officer Takagi was also stunned. "She said you were kidnapped, and we were worried about a new kidnapping case, but we didn't expect to find you so quickly... Hmm? Wait."
Officer Takagi scratched the back of his head and belatedly remembered something: "That little girl, wasn't she at the tennis court before? Why did she run to the dock again? And got involved in such a dangerous thing."... Going wherever there is danger, this doesn't seem like something a first-grade student should do.
Mao Lilan also remembered something and nodded: "I did see Xiao Ai on the tennis court at noon, but then I was kidnapped. I don't know what happened in between. Speaking of which..."
She looked at Conan, puzzled, "Why are you at the dock? Didn't you say you had other things to do today and even canceled the tennis match?"
"I, I..." Conan was frantically thinking of an excuse while trying to figure out what was going on tonight. For a moment, he seemed to hear the roar of his brain running at high speed.
After stumbling over a few sentences, Conan simply covered his head and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I feel dizzy!"
Mao Lilan was startled, then she remembered that this child was a victim who had just escaped death. She hurriedly said, "Officer Takagi, please drive faster!"
Maori Kogoro looked at Conan suspiciously: "This kid was so energetic just now, why is he dizzy again all of a sudden?"
"..." Conan sighed guiltily, "It hurts, my head hurts!"
Mao Lilan: "Dad, please stop talking!"
In the chaos, Officer Takagi stepped on the accelerator, pushed the speed limit, and drove towards the hospital.
Finally, no one asked about the details anymore. Conan breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.
"Anyway, what happened tonight is definitely not as simple as I thought." He thought, "In order to avoid letting anything slip, I'd better ask Huiyuan first and check with her."
“Come to think of it, I thought Vermouth abandoned me at the intersection because she couldn’t find Shirley, so she gave up on tonight’s operation.
"But from what Officer Takagi said, it seems that Haibara also appeared at the dock... If that's the case, why did Vermouth hold back on this piece of fat meat hanging right in front of her?"
As a detective who has been fighting wits and courage with criminals for many years, Conan feels that he has an extraordinary understanding of the psychology of this group of people.
——It is normal to give up a goal that is far away.
But giving up an attractive target that is right in front of you and you can grab it with just a stretch of your hand... Let alone criminals, how many ordinary people who follow the rules can withstand such temptation?
...Unless there is another force, a force that makes Vermouth dare not reach out even if she sees "Sherry" right in front of her.
The number of unknown factors that cause headaches has increased again.
As he thought about it, Conan couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone survived, and the police even apprehended a group of suspicious individuals. This clearly sounded like a wonderful ending, but for some reason, he always felt as if a thick shadow had been cast over his heart.
There is a sense of incongruity everywhere, as if everything he has now is not the result of his hard work, but the outcome has been paved by a big hand in the dark.
"Damn it! Why did I have to be knocked down by the anesthetic needle at such a critical moment? If I had known that the anesthetic needle in the watch would eventually be shot into me, I wouldn't have asked Dr. Agasa to increase the dosage a few days ago."
When Conan thought about the time when Haibara Ai was in contact with Vermouth, and he was snoring beside her, and had missed out on so much information, his eyes went dark, and he deeply experienced what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
"I hope to see Huibara soon and ask her what happened just now... Sigh, I don't know how much she saw."
…
I don’t know how far ahead is.
In another car.
Haibara Ai sat next to Jiang Xia, leaning back in the comfortable seat, enjoying the comfort of the air-conditioned room. She also had the black tea, green tea and canned coffee that the driver had given her at hand... This enthusiastic passerby was simply a model of enthusiastic people, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Haibara Ai felt in her heart.
"I always feel that this person seems very nervous." Huiyuan Ai secretly glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the driver's figure in the mirror:
"His movements are also very stiff. Not just in his demeanor, but physically as well... Speaking of which, what's with his clothes? Both his shirt and pants look stiff, as if they were wrapped in a layer of iron."
For a moment, Haibara Ai almost suspected that she had encountered some kind of biochemically modified human.
However, this wasn't the first time she'd encountered this graduate student. Recalling how normal he'd been the last few times, Huihara Ai secretly told herself not to get too nervous while quietly moving closer to Jiang Xia, seeking a sense of security.
As a result, when she moved, the driver in front of her was startled and his body rustled.
Jiang Xia looked up and asked, "What's that sound?"
"Ah?! That sound..." Subaru Okiya pretended to be calm and said, "It's... it's a sandbag! I'm at home writing papers every day and rarely move. Too little exercise can easily make you sick, so I tied some sandbags on myself so that I can exercise anytime."
"Is that so?" Jiang Xia praised, "You are really self-disciplined."
"Haha." Subaru Okiya quietly stepped on the accelerator, and finally, under his expectant gaze, a hospital appeared before his eyes.
He quickly entered the hospital, dropped the patient off, said goodbye politely, then impatiently turned the car around and drove off with a bang.
——Finally, it’s time to get off work this time!
