Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

It can only be said that the script Sonoko Suzuki arranged for the two of them was generally fine.

Unfortunately, the plot has only just begun.

One was physically exhausted while the other was physically very fit.

Shinichi Kudo still couldn't catch up with Ran Mouri, and couldn't even see her back.

Chapter 167 Xiaolan, I'm sorry

The rain was gentle, neither heavy nor light.

The raindrops fell at their own pace, but Shinichi Kudo couldn't keep up as he searched for Ran Mouri.

Now that the sky is completely black and visibility is obstructed, he must find Ran Mouri as soon as possible and bring her home.

"This sickly body really does resemble my predicament..."

Shinichi Kudo felt like his lungs were on fire, and he couldn't smell anything. Even though he was walking on a concrete road, his feet felt like they were struggling in mud.

Before long, he finally spotted a figure under the long embankment.

There's no mistake, it's definitely Ran Mouri.

Shinichi Kudo walked down the steps, and the surface of the long river was rippled by the rain.

Ran Mouri stood on the wooden platform that resembled a dock, seemingly looking at the water or at her own heart.

"Xiaolan..."

Shinichi Kudo approached slowly, his voice very weak.

Ran Mouri still cared about him after all. When she sensed that something was wrong with him, she immediately turned around and came to his aid, helping him up and asking with concern, "Shinichi, are you alright?"

Shinichi Kudo chuckled softly, his smile appearing somewhat tragic yet gentle.

"It's alright, at least I won't die."

Ran Mouri chided, "Why did you come all this way if you have a cold? I'll just stay here for a little while and then go back."

The noise of the rain curtain now seemed like a soundproof barrier, isolating the two of them from the world.

Despite the countless sounds around us, it was so quiet that we could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Shinichi Kudo forced himself to stand up straight. "Idiot, even if I have low emotional intelligence, I know I should chase after them now."

“If I hadn’t come, you would have been throwing stones into the river and sulking here again.”

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and stared blankly into Ran Mouri's eyes, murmuring softly, "She'll sulk but won't take it out on me; she'll just silently process it herself."

"How much of a jerk do I have to be to let a girl who always treats me with the best and gentlest kindness remain completely unaware of my whereabouts...?"

Shinichi Kudo continued talking to himself.

"She might think I'm playing with her, or that I don't care about her at all."

"But she would still call me to ask how I was doing and to show that she was always thinking about me and caring about me."

His voice gradually turned tearful, and his eyes began to sting.

"She did nothing wrong, yet I kept hurting her with my self-righteousness."

"Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was wrong..."

Sincere feelings are touching, and words full of emotion are even more so.

The difference between rain and tears doesn't seem that big.

Ran Mouri is very naive and easy to please.

All it takes is a sincere apology, and all the resentment I've accumulated towards Shinichi Kudo over this period will vanish instantly.

"Shinichi, shall we go back?"

Ran Mouri wiped her eyes. "If we keep getting soaked in the rain, you..."

Just then, Shinichi Kudo's heart suddenly pounded violently.

Boom-!

An indescribable pain, accompanied by a feeling of suffocation, overwhelmed me.

His body instantly lost all strength, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest with one hand.

Ran Mouri reacted quickly, but after a brief moment of thought, she still chose to let Shinichi Kudo lie down.

She quickly knelt down on the ground, letting Shinichi Kudo lie on her lap. "Shinichi, Shinichi, what's wrong?"

At this point, Shinichi Kudo could only manage to say a few words.

"I...I'm fine...Ugh—!"

The intense breathing and the pain on her face combined to plunge Ran Mouri into an abyss of deep worry.

She wanted to call an ambulance, and she also wanted to carry Shinichi Kudo to find a kind person to help her.

But there was nothing she could do at that moment.

My phone got wet and won't turn on, and there's not a soul in sight around here.

Boom-!

Another powerful heartbeat allowed Shinichi Kudo to barely regain a sliver of consciousness.

He forced a smile, "Ran...Conan...is coming back...don't worry..."

After saying that, Shinichi Kudo rolled his eyes and fainted.

Before Ran Mouri could recover from her shock, Conan in her arms began to shrink at a visible rate.

Witnessing high school students transform into elementary school students is still quite awe-inspiring.

Ran Mouri doesn't even know what she should be doing right now.

She could only instinctively use her body to shield Shinichi Kudo from the wind and rain and provide him with warmth.

In less than half a minute, Shinichi Kudo in her arms turned into Conan.

"No...we have to go to the hospital..."

Conan's return seems to have helped Ran regain her composure and calmness.

She picked up Conan and ran towards the embankment. If the long princess dress was in the way, she simply tore it off. If she couldn't find a car, she ran to the hospital.

But fate has its own arrangements.

Ran Mouri hadn't run far when she saw a lonely figure walking alone with an umbrella.

Before she could even speak, the other person rushed over to ask what was going on.

The woman who arrived was very beautiful, with an elegant and aloof demeanor.

Ran quickly explained the situation, hoping the other party could find a car to take her to the hospital or help call an ambulance.

The woman spoke quickly, “Calling an ambulance now would be a waste of time. My car is parked not far away, come with me.”

As she spoke, she tried to take over the task from Conan.

But Ran Mouri shook her head firmly, "Thank you, I'm fine."

Akiba Reiko could see a lot in her eyes.

"Ah."

It's still Beika General Hospital.

"What's wrong with this child this time?" The nurse in charge of the admissions office asked with a strange expression.

Moreover, Ran Mouri's current outfit would look quite strange in a normal setting.

A princess in distress... Are you filming a TV drama here?

A child shouldn't be sent here to film a TV series.

The nurse had many thoughts on her mind, but saving lives was the priority at the moment.

There was no danger to his life. After a general examination, the doctor could only conclude that it was a severe cold. However, due to the severity of the condition, he needed to receive an IV drip.

After settling Conan in, Ran Mouri finally felt relieved. She left the hospital room and approached the kind person, saying, "I'll pay you back for the medical expenses by tomorrow at the latest. May I ask for your contact information?"

The woman hadn't originally intended to ask for medical expenses; the amount was nothing to her. She felt a sense of familiarity with both Conan and Ran Mouri.

But Ran Mouri insisted, and she could only nod in agreement.

"Akiba Reiko...you are Miss Akiba Reiko?!"

Ran Mouri was incredibly surprised, "That world-class soprano singer?"

Akiba Reiko chuckled in response, "Since the child is alright, I'll head back now. Would you like me to help you contact your family again?"

Ran Mouri thought for a moment and then nodded.

After half an hour.

Kogoro Mori rushed over in a hurry, accompanied by Heiji Hattori and others.

Conan had already woken up by this time.

The two brothers exchanged only a few glances and then worked together perfectly, with Ran Mouri also helping to cover for Conan, which allowed Conan to pass the test smoothly.

Chapter 168 It doesn't matter, I'll steal food.

Upon learning that Shinichi Kudo had hurriedly left to handle another case, Sonoko Suzuki felt an intense rage towards him.

But Ran Mouri's words of comfort had some effect, and Sonoko Suzuki gradually stopped being angry.

Because she had to go home, Sonoko Suzuki left first.

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama will continue to stay here to take care of her until they return to Osaka tomorrow.
