Although he earned a considerable amount of money from advertising, medical expenses were always the biggest expense, and he spent most of it on betting on sports and horses.

"Dad!" Ran Mouri tugged at Kogoro Mouri's sleeve, her face showing some displeasure.

“It’s alright,” Jia Chen said. “If Mr. Mori is really in financial trouble, I can lend you some.”

Because they are part of the main cast, he allows them to buy on credit, but not for free.

Conan, while sighing, looked around the hospital. Sure enough, those damn rich kids.

Thinking about myself, I don't even have the money to buy Xiaolan a gift.

Looking for a book club? Call 869-5973 or 9 ...

Now that I've shrunk, my parents don't give me any pocket money anymore.

It's not that I don't want to give it to him, it's just that when my mom asks for it...

Yukiko Kudo would always ask if some middle school delinquent was extorting money from you, or if you were keeping a girlfriend, etc.

That made him not want to say a word.

Chapter 185 Lan, you don't want your father to be unable to afford medical treatment, do you?

“Your foot doesn’t look twisted.” Just as the group was talking, a middle-aged man in a white coat walked over with a smile. “My name is Mitsuo Shirai, and I’m the surgeon here.”

After he finished speaking, Shirai Mitsuo nodded to Gatatsu.

"Then, what should we do?" Ran Mouri asked anxiously after hearing this. "Does that mean we need to have surgery?"

“We need to check again to confirm,” Shirai Mitsuo explained. “Since you are a friend of the director, please follow me to the third floor. The view from here is beautiful, and it’s a single room.”

"Thank you..." The Mori family nodded.

Jia Chen glanced at Shirai Mitsuo, recalling the hospital's personnel information from that time.

This person was not an outsider planted by the organization, but an ordinary doctor who had been hired here.

However, this person had a serious, morbid obsession. According to the organization's investigation, this person always believed that he could develop a top-notch treatment method and secretly experimented on patients' bodies.

However... fortunately, it was just a surgeon.

Even if the experiment is wrong, the worst that can happen is lifelong disability.

With Ran's help, Kogoro Mouri took the elevator to the third-floor ward and lay down.

“In your case… you will most likely need surgery.” Mitsuo Shirai said calmly and seriously as he touched Kogoro Mouri’s ankle, his expression gentle but leaving no room for doubt.

"Hand, surgery?" Kogoro Mouri turned pale with fright upon hearing 550. "Is it that serious? I felt like I just twisted my ankle."

Jia Chen didn't say anything, but stepped forward and glanced at the swelling below his calf.

He then put on gloves and touched it with his bare hands...

With Observation Haki activated to its fullest extent, I slowly traced my fingers downwards along the swollen area.

"Ah!! Ah!! It's going to break, it's going to break!" Kogoro Mori screamed in agony. "This won't do... Ah!!"

"Gar, Garchen-ge..." Ran Mouri, standing to the side, was unsure whether she should step in to stop Garchen's actions.

Moreover, Brother Jiachen's demeanor was calm and composed, giving him an air of authority.

“It’s alright, it’s not broken, it’s already broken.” Jia Chen put his hand down and turned to look at Shirai Mitsuo. “Besides, it’s just a fracture in the ankle, and the dislocation isn’t too serious, so surgery isn’t necessary.”

"Haha," Shirai Mitsuo felt a little flustered by the other party's emotionless pale red eyes, "I was just saying there's a high probability, surgery is safer."

He didn't expect that this young boss would know something about orthopedics.

“Surgery could very likely cause permanent damage,” Makoto Asai said, stroking his chin as he appeared beside the hospital bed at some point.

Conan's eyes flashed white again as he looked at Shirai Mitsuo with some suspicion.

Because of Jia Chen's presence, Conan is exceptionally sensitive.

This small, unusual action by the other party led him to suspect that if someone had died, then the murderer must be this Shirai Mitsuo!

"Then... what is the treatment plan?" Ran Mouri asked timidly.

“The best treatment is to massage it back into place,” Makoto Asai said with a warm smile after seeing Ran Mouri. “And with a cast in place, she can get out of bed and walk after about ten days of rest.”

"Have we met somewhere before?" Ran Mouri then noticed Makoto Asai.

Wearing a clean white coat, with a warm smile on her face and her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked refreshing and adorable.

“Yes, we met on Moonshadow Island,” Asai Makoto said with a smile. “It’s just that I’m the vice-director here now.”

Vice-Dean?!

Conan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Having not experienced the original storyline, he naturally did not know the other party's true strength.

I just think... he's just another rich kid, and he's hanging out with Jia Chen.

I guess he was just going out to gain experience at that small clinic on the island, and when he came back, he became the vice president.

Conan glanced at Makoto Asai, his eyes filled with disdain for such behavior!

"Hmph... Well, let's listen to what this vice-director has to say then." Kogoro Mouri stared intently at Makoto Asai with bright eyes. "I'd like to ask, did this vice-director personally give the massage?"

"Dad!!!" Ran Mouri wanted to reach out and pinch Kogoro Mouri's ear, but when she saw Kogoro's expression, she stopped in her tracks.

"It's alright," Asai Makoto said with a smile. "You're the director's friends, so I'll take good care of you."

"So... how much does it cost?" Conan asked, bouncing around on the edge of his seat.

Kogoro Mouri's bright eyes dimmed again upon hearing the cost.

That's the point.

“Based on your situation,” Shirai Mitsuo said with a smile, “you will need hospitalization, medication, manual therapy, and other expenses, which will amount to approximately 200 million yen per day.”

“Of course, since you’re a friend of the dean, I’ll give you 150 million yen.” Shirai Mitsuo quickly said after seeing the change in Mouri Kogoro’s expression.

Upon hearing this, Conan swallowed hard.

This is a hospital, they're not trying to extort money from me!

"So... how long will I need to stay in the hospital?" Ran Mouri asked from the side.

"You can be discharged in about a month," Jia Chen said in a calm tone, a statement that conveyed a sense of despair.

"One month!!!" Conan and Kogoro Mouri's mouths were agape.

A month has thirty days, which means it would take 4500 million days and months. Even if you sold both of them, they wouldn't be worth that much.

“This is the normal fee,” Asai Makoto reminded him from the side. “If Mr. Mori has insurance, it would only cost 450 million yen a month.”

Conan stood there in silence for a while. Jia Chen was the big boss here.

The wards I saw on the way here were all packed, so you can imagine... this is a money-making machine!

"I...I didn't buy insurance," Kogoro Mouri said, on the verge of tears.

As a star of the Metropolitan Police Department, he always believed he wouldn't be foolish enough to get injured, so he didn't use insurance.

He only bought them for Ran, Eri, and Conan; he didn't buy one for himself.

Moreover, he used part of the advertising revenue to gamble on football and horse racing, and to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

Part of it was for Xiaolan's college expenses.

"It's not like there's no way," Jia Chen said, looking at Ran Mouri. "Perhaps..."

The FBI agents near my place have been really annoying lately. And now, Kogoro Mouri is injured.

It wouldn't be easy for Conan alone to catch him and force Shuichi Akai out from behind the scenes.

If you include Xiaolan... it's about the same.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Conan jumped up anxiously. "What are you planning!"

The scene in the cruise ship's toilet flashed through his mind again... and he felt a sense of foreboding.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cover the expenses for you,” Jia Chen said. “You just need to do me a favor.”

"That's great, thank you, Kashin." Kogoro Mouri's slightly downturned lips curled up.

Conan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Uncle, you can't just agree like that! They haven't even mentioned their conditions yet.

And his gaze kept drifting towards Xiaolan...

What kind of favor could possibly exempt someone from 4500 million days and months?

Unpleasant images began to surface in Conan's mind.

Chapter 186 Xiaolan: This is an adult matter.

"Brother Jiachen... what kind of help do you need?" Ran Mouri asked timidly.

She possessed neither her father's reasoning abilities nor Shinichi's observational skills.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle things well if Brother Jiachen's workload became too heavy.

“It’ll be easy for you,” Jia Chen said calmly. “Come to my house later, and I’ll explain in detail.”

Conan was stunned for a moment after hearing that.
