Chapter 405: Completely Demonized
Conan suddenly thought that People from the Organization might be here. Pretending to reach out to help Chi Feichi, he urged Wataru Takagi, who was holding Haibara Ai, "Police Officer Takagi, quickly take her to the car. I'll help Brother Chi over right away, he's bleeding on his arm!"
Chi Feichi was wearing black clothes, so the blood wasn't visible, but some blood had stained Conan's clothes, which looked a bit scary...
"Ah, okay!" Wataru Takagi nodded quickly, turned around holding Haibara Ai, and hurried back to the car. He didn't realize there wasn't much connection between 'Chi Feichi's injury' and 'quickly taking Haibara Ai to the car', and the concept was subtly shifted by Conan's "I'll help right away".
Chi Feichi's peripheral vision noticed Belmode coming over wearing Shinde Tomoaki's disguised face. He didn't pay much attention. After getting up, he looked at Conan, "Conan, lend me your mobile phone for a bit, I need to make a phone call."
Since Belmode had already discovered Conan's three pieces of equipment: anesthetic needle, soccer ball, and power-enhancing shoes, he didn't mind going along with it and letting Belmode know that Conan also had an earring-type mobile phone.
Compared to the first three, this one had the least lethality.
"Oh, okay!" Conan rummaged through his pocket, took out the earring-type mobile phone, raised his hand, and handed it to Chi Feichi. "Is this okay? This is an earring-type mobile phone Doctor Agasa made for me. As long as you pull out the earphone cable and wear it on your ear, dial the number you want to call on it, and then press dial, you can make a call..."
Chi Feichi nodded and lowered his head to dial the number.
Conan was truly kind. He even let Belmode hear the inventor, the item name, and exactly how to use it...
"Oyama, it's me. Help me make a reservation at the Hospital for trauma handling... It's nothing, just a scratch."
Belmode stood aside for a while, showing a helpless expression that said 'I'm worried sick about you', which perfectly matched Shinde Tomoaki's good-natured personality. "It seems I don't need to help you with your wound. You should hurry to the Hospital."
"It's not a big deal, don't worry." Chi Feichi said to 'Shinde Tomoaki', and conveniently handed the earring-type mobile phone to Conan.
Conan put away the mobile phone. Seeing Wataru Takagi probing from the car over there, he went over with Chi Feichi. "Doctor Shinchide, then we'll head to the Hospital now!"
'Shinde Tomoaki' looked at Chi Feichi's figure. "I'll come see you another day."
Jodie, who had just stepped forward: "..."
She didn't even get a chance to say a word...
Never mind, there will be another opportunity another day.
Belmode watched Conan and Chi Feichi get on the bus. The helplessness on her face gradually subsided, and her eyes held deep thoughts.
This time was a great gain.
Conan had an anesthetic needle, a soccer ball, power-enhancing shoes, and an earring-type mobile phone... With so much equipment, now that she knew, she could make preparations for future actions.
Also, why did Raki protect the two children even when he was injured?
Was it care? Or... disguise?
Before, she told Raki 'I'm going to take action against the people beside you', and Raki didn't care about it at all. Let alone stopping her, he didn't even try to understand or investigate. Considering this point, she thought the possibility of disguise was greater.
Thinking about how the real Shinde Tomoaki frequently gave Chi Feichi 'nice guy' cards in his record, and even thought Chi Feichi wasn't sick, thinking about how Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko also often praised and trusted Chi Feichi, and looking at this time, his action of saving the children even when injured...
In front of so many people, he hid the indifference and distortion in his heart, making everyone think he was just not good with words, but very gentle and warm-hearted...
Even her heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
This was the first time she felt someone was so troublesome. Even a certain Famous Detective was fooled, and she didn't dare to rashly remind him of anything.
Compared to being discovered by the Organization, she was now more wary of Raki himself, worried that a subtle move would be discovered and backfire.
However, based on the present situation, if Raki wanted to disguise, he would usually consider the safety of Conan and others. Under circumstances that didn't involve the Organization, Raki staying beside Mouri Ran and Conan was instead a security guarantee.
Although considering the long term, doing this wasn't stable, and Conan would eventually reveal his true nature by continuing contact with Raki, she really had no method. She could only slowly observe and check. At worst, like last time, when Raki sensed the abnormality, she would cover for Conan...
Chi Feichi probably wouldn't realize that because he was completely demonized in Belmode's heart, his prediction had a bit of a deviation.
Not far away, Akai Shuichi looked at 'Shinde Tomoaki', and then saw the Police Officer starting to organize passengers to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement. Taking advantage of no one paying attention, he quietly slipped away from the crowd.
He couldn't go to the Metropolitan Police Department.
If he went to the Metropolitan Police Department and was investigated thoroughly, he guessed someone would take him into custody with Public Security.
After Belmode recovered her thoughts, considering that going to a place like the Metropolitan Police Department might not be safe, she stepped forward and said a few words to Sato Miwako, finding a reason to slip away.
It would be fine if she didn't show an opening, but if the Public Security Police got any news, she wouldn't be able to get out.
Jodie noticed the actions of the two people, was silent for a moment, and she also didn't want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. She decisively stepped forward to communicate with the Police Officer, found an excuse, and slipped away.
Here, a very understanding Police Officer nodded in agreement, then found Sato Miwako. "Officer Sato, the passengers have been arranged to get on the bus!"
"We'll take the passengers and the criminal back to the Metropolitan Police Department first..." Sato Miwako nodded, then turned her head to look.
The passengers on a large bus actually only filled one Police Car and it wasn't even full. What kind of situation was this?
Counting carefully, there were only three people, plus the Bus Driver.
"Are there only these few people?" Sato Miwako asked, speechless.
"Uh, that..." The Police Officer lowered his head and looked at the record in the handbook, saying with a dry smile, "Mr. Chi and a child both seem to be injured, Conan followed them to the Hospital, and Doctor Agasa and the other children also went with Officer Chiba's car; Doctor Shinchide said he was worried and wanted to check on them, so he also left in advance; Teacher Judy said she suddenly received a phone call from the University, saying a student's emotional state was not right, and she had to hurry back quickly; an old gentleman said that when he got off the car, his hearing aid was lost somewhere, and he couldn't hear others talking, so he had to go to the Hospital to buy a new hearing aid first; a girl was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time, her boyfriend called her family members to come over and pick her up and keep her company to go home and rest first, we really couldn't force them to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement; additionally, among the passengers, there was an accomplice of the robber... By the way, they said there should also be a male passenger with a cold, however, we don't know when he left."
Sato Miwako felt a headache listening to this. She turned her head and looked at the three lonely witnesses in the Police Car over there, saying with a dark face, "Contact the people you can contact and tell them to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement another day!"
A bus with more than ten people was held hostage, and as a result, there were only three witnesses. Was this a joke with her? How was she supposed to report back?
"Uh, yes!" The male officer immediately responded seriously.
Sato Miwako considered it for a bit. "Mr. Chi is injured, so there's no need to notify him."
Now Shiratori and Takagi were not very willing to take Chi Feichi's statement.
Chi Feichi's narration was too concise. Looking at the statement always felt wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong. It was even more worry-free than the children. Moreover, Chi Feichi encountered incidents every few days, accumulating a pile of statements that took a whole day, or even more than a day, to complete. Anyone would be mentally exhausted...
If others were unwilling to take Chi Feichi's statement, and it fell to her, she felt mentally exhausted just thinking about it. It was better to find Conan.
...
Todo University Hospital.
The doctor helped handle Chi Feichi's injuries, which were mostly bruises from the impact of landing and scratches on the skin from torn clothing material. They were not serious.
At the Young Doctor's suggestion, Chi Feichi also underwent some inspections.
Physical health was good, no problems.
Outside the Examination Room, Doctor Agasa and others breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's diagnosis result.
"It's great that Brother Chi is okay!" Ayumi's eyes were smilingly curved.
"However, you should still pay attention to rest in the next two days," the doctor instructed Chi Feichi, "Sometimes minor trauma or bleeding in the brain or internal organs can also cause serious consequences. Although it hasn't been detected yet, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, for example, feeling brief dizziness, you should come back to the Hospital for a follow-up examination promptly."
Chi Feichi nodded.
Actually, it wasn't that serious. It was just like accidentally falling down. At most, the explosion happened right beside him, and he had a bit of tinnitus at the time...
"By the way, where's Haibara?" Ayumi turned her head again and asked Haibara Ai, who had already recovered her calmness. "Didn't you feel unwell before? Do you want to get a check-up while you're here?"
"No need, I feel much better." Haibara Ai refused.
"No, you must!" Genta insisted.
"Uh-huh!" Mitsuhiko nodded. "Haibara Classmate usually doesn't like exercise very much..."
Ayumi tilted her head and thought for a bit. "Sometimes her mental state isn't very good either..."
Haibara Ai looked at the Young Doctor, who looked a bit haggard. "The doctor looks like he's in worse spirits than me."
She just occasionally went to bed a bit late.
The Young Doctor broke out in a sweat. "I haven't been resting well recently..."
Genta said seriously, "Haibara, don't displace everyone's attention. You might have caught a cold from Doctor Agasa, so it's better to ask the doctor at the initial stage of the cold and take medicine promptly."
"Yes, yes," Haibara Ai said helplessly, being told off by the three children. Even transferring the topic was useless. What else could she do? Moreover, she also wanted to continue hiding it from Chi Feichi, so she had to cooperate and finish the play. She voluntarily walked into the Examination Unit. "Then I'll tell the doctor the situation, you guys wait for me outside."
This child's words were really mature...
The doctor broke out in a sweat, smiled at Chi Feichi and others, and followed her in.
The door of the Examination Unit was closed. Doctor Agasa scratched his head and smiled, "However, after being scared by the bus hold hostage incident before, I feel like my cold has gotten a lot better..."
Chi Feichi silently observed the top of Doctor Agasa's head.
He felt that after a circle of hair roots grew on the edge last time, Doctor Agasa's hair hadn't grown anymore...
"Isn't this Doctor Agasa benefiting from a disaster?" Mitsuhiko teased.
"Mr. Chi! Doctor Agasa!" Wataru Takagi came over from the corridor over there, greeting them from afar. When he got closer, he took out two mobile phones from his pocket and handed them to Chi Feichi and Doctor Agasa respectively. "I went back to the Metropolitan Police Department earlier and conveniently brought back the mobile phones that were confiscated by the robbers for you. How was the inspection?"
"Thank you," Chi Feichi received the mobile phone. "It's nothing big, just a scratch."
"That's good," Wataru Takagi smiled, then said to Doctor Agasa, "By the way, Doctor Agasa, I'll have to trouble you to bring the children to give a statement another day."
Chi Feichi raised his eyes to look at Wataru Takagi.
Wataru Takagi was stared at by Chi Feichi and quickly said, "Ah, of course, Mr. Chi is injured, so you don't need to go. Doctor Agasa, the children, plus some passengers we contacted, should probably be enough."
Chi Feichi looked away with satisfaction.
Don't make him give a statement, anything else is fine.
Conan was speechless and teasing. He suspected the Metropolitan Police Department was giving Chi Feichi convenience, but he was also a bit in doubt. "Isn't the statement from the other passengers not enough?"
