The boy soldier next to the famous detective

Chapter 71 Long-Awaited Serious Injury

The woman's words startled everyone on the bus. Jonah quickly looked at the watch on the woman's wrist, and after confirming that the hands were indeed moving, he shouted at Conan Edogawa and the others with a grim expression.

"Get out of here right now!"

The front and rear doors were opened, and the passengers quickly ran out of the bus, startling the police officers who were lying in wait beside it.

"Conan, what's wrong?"

Sato Miwako, who was standing guard at the bus door ready to act at any moment, subconsciously asked Edogawa Conan what was going on. Upon receiving the news that the bomb was about to explode, she hurriedly called for other police officers to quickly close off both sides of the road to prevent any cars from being caught in the explosion.

"Hey! Where's Haibara-san? I don't see her!"

As the evacuating crowd moved, Ayumi Yoshida ran while looking around, and was surprised to find that Ai Haibara, who was with them, was not among them.

Jonah, who was trailing behind, changed his expression upon hearing this. He raised his hand, grabbed Conan Edogawa who was trying to turn around at the same time, and threw him towards Professor Agasa. With a tense face, he ran desperately towards the bus.

On the bus, Ai Haibara is in a self-destructive state due to her fear of organization. She feels that rather than continuing to hide and being discovered by the organization, thus endangering those around her, she might as well take this opportunity to die in the explosion.

As long as he dies, the organization will have no way to continue investigating him, and Professor Agasa and Conan Edogawa will not be implicated and thus be suspected by the organization.

How foolish! When Jonah rescued her from the wine cellar of the Beika Hotel, Ai Haibara actually thought she could escape the organization's pursuit and have a chance to start her life anew.

But now I realize I was being too naive.

Bang-bang-bang-

With her head hanging low in disappointment, just as Ai Haibara thought she could finally go see her sister, three crisp, clear gunshots interrupted her thoughts.

Ai Haibara lifted her head as the footsteps approached rapidly, but before she could even see who it was, Jonah grabbed her arm and yanked her out of her seat.

Jonah rushed toward the rear window of the bus, which had been shattered by bullets, grabbed Ai Haibara with both hands, shielded her in his arms, and leaped out of the window, escaping just before the explosion.

Struck by the shockwave of the bomb explosion, Jonah struggled to maintain his balance in mid-air. Just before landing, he reversed his position, landing on his back to shield Ai Haibara as they rolled several times sideways.

"cough!"

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and Jonah turned his head to spit out a mouthful of blood. His whole body was trembling from the impact of the explosion and the pain of the fall, but he still turned to look at Ai Haibara, whom he had brought out.

"Haibara, are you alright?"

Staring blankly at Jonah, Ai Haibara didn't know how to describe her feelings, but seeing Jonah covered in wounds from saving her, she couldn't help but tear up immediately.

"Jonah! Haibara!"

Conan Edogawa rushed over immediately, squatting down in front of the two with a worried expression. After glancing at Ai Haibara and finding her to be alright, he looked at Jonah anxiously.

"Conan, do you know who's in that organization?"

With the pistol still firmly in his hand, Jonah ignored his injuries and, enduring the pain, immediately looked towards the crowd standing in the safe area, curiously watching him.

At a maximum range of 30 meters, there are still 6 bullets left, so there's a chance of hitting!

Jonah focused his attention on Araide Tomoaki, Jodie, and Akai Shuichi, who had made a move to attack the robbers immediately after the bus braked suddenly but was interrupted by his own actions, and urged Edogawa Conan to answer him.

Jonah didn't know why Ai Haibara was so afraid, even wanting to escape through suicide, but he was very angry, extremely angry!

If there is someone on the scene who terrifies Ai Haibara to the point of wanting to die, then Jonah should kill him first!

"Jonah, calm down, I don't know who it is."

"Conan!"

"I'm not lying to you, I really don't know!"

Looking intently at Jonah's furious face, Conan Edogawa resolutely reached out and took the pistol that had been taken from the robber from Jonah's hand.

"Trust me, I will find out who it is! What you need most right now is to go to the hospital, Jonah, you're injured!"

Nodding to Jonah, Conan Edogawa turned to Wataru Takagi, who had come to check on the situation, and said seriously, "Officer Takagi, quickly drive them both away; they're injured!"

"what?"

"I told them they're injured, hurry up!"

"good!"

Seeing Conan Edogawa take his pistol away, Jonah remained silent for a moment before abandoning his plan to attack the hidden member of the organization.

After savoring the rusty taste in his mouth, Jonah forced himself to first get the dazed Ai Haibara and Professor Agasa into Wataru Takagi's police car, while he decided to stay and keep Conan Edogawa company.

Unfortunately, it was clear to everyone that Jonah was the most seriously injured. The moment the ambulance arrived, Jonah instinctively threw his backpack to Conan Edogawa, and was then nervously lifted onto a stretcher by a group of doctors.

"There are severe abrasions on the body surface and blood in the mouth, which may be due to lung damage from an impact. The intracranial condition is unclear, but there is a high possibility of concussion. We also need to check for bone damage."

The doctors and nurses were quite surprised to see Jonah, who looked disheveled but remained silent during the examinations.

"Little brother, it's okay to cry if it hurts, it's alright."

"It doesn't hurt much."

"How could it not hurt?"

Jonah blinked, looking at the doctor and nurse who were staring at him with puzzled expressions. He thought to himself that people in the city were indeed too pampered.

In the past, on the battlefield, injuries like those caused by the shockwaves of grenades and explosives would not be treated by anyone. You could simply treat the external wounds yourself and rest for a few days and you would be fine. There was no need to treat them so carefully.

Compared to his own injuries, Jonah was more upset about the sudden appearance of the black-clad organization member.

Jonah didn't believe that the other person was on the bus by chance; the other person had obviously discovered something and wanted to get closer to investigate.

This means that both Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are now at risk of being exposed.

Jonah's expression grew increasingly somber as he recalled his encounter with Gin and Vodka on the rooftop of the Beika Hotel.

Despite having the advantage of surprise attack and firearms, Jonah failed to kill anyone and was instead shot by Gin. This made Jonah realize that the combatants in that organization were highly skilled.

If Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are really exposed, and the organization sends more people to hunt them down, can they protect everyone with their own strength?

"Look, little one, you're frowning. It really hurts, doesn't it?"

"..."

This nurse is so annoying!
