Conan Rick's Investigator

Several people discussed Conan's condition. The doctor said that he could be discharged from the hospital in two days, but he had to wear a mask to prevent a cold.

The communication is almost over, it’s time for the men to communicate with each other.

Hattori Heiji sent Toyama Kazuha, Mori Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko away on the pretext of asking Conan to choose a new gift, and stayed alone to talk with Conan.

Before getting down to business, Hattori Heiji looked at the red carnations in the vase on the bedside table and asked, "Who sent these flowers?"

"It's that uncle, Qin Zhibo..."

Conan climbed from the wheelchair to the bed by himself. Hattori Heiji, who was rather careless in this regard, did not provide any help and continued to look at the flowers in the vase.

From the brightness of the flowers, Hattori Heiji could tell that they were not delivered on the same day.

"This uncle is so lazy. He doesn't even carefully select the gifts for the patients. He gives the same gifts every day."

Conan finally lay down on the bed with his own efforts. He glanced at the "beheaded" lily on Hattori Heiji's shoulder and rolled his eyes helplessly.

Aren't you the same? Even worse than...

Hattori Heiji looked at the filled vase and felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

"Some of the flowers here are withered. Let me take them away for you."

"Hello, hello!"

Without waiting for Conan's consent, Hattori Heiji turned into a flower arranger, took away all the carnations that had not yet begun to wither, and put his own "beheaded" lilies into the vase.

Looking at the red dot among the flowers, Hattori Heiji nodded with satisfaction.

"That's much better, Kudo, what do you think?"

Hattori Heiji showed his masterpiece to Conan, and Conan showed his crescent eyes again.

"Ha, ha... Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hattori Heiji put the vase back on the bedside table before starting to talk about business.

"To be honest, I received a call from Dr. Agasa yesterday. He asked me to come here to discuss something with you..."

Hattori Heiji expressed his doubts, which were whether Ran Mouri had discovered his identity and what he planned to do next.

Originally, Dr. Agasa could have asked these questions in person, but Haibara Ai was already certain that Conan would not be able to suppress his inner impulse, so there was no need to ask, and she did not let Dr. Agasa ask, for fear that Dr. Agasa would tip off.

Dr. Agasa has seen how scary Ai looks.

In order to prevent Conan's wound from splitting open due to fear, Dr. Agasa wanted to make one last effort and asked Hattori Heiji to fly over from Osaka overnight.

Because tonight is the day that Haibara Ai planned to intimidate her, and it will be too late if we are any later.

When faced with his best friend's question, Conan rested his head on his arms and said nonchalantly, "Actually, she's noticed it several times before..."

"I think if I don't have a clone that's exactly like me, it would be hard to keep this lie going..."

Kuroba Kaito, who was far away in Jiangda Town, sneezed.

Hattori Heiji looked at his best friend's slightly melancholy eyes and decided to follow his inner thoughts. He encouraged him, "That lady has been waiting for so long and hasn't asked yet. Maybe she's waiting for you to confess to her in person..."

These words touched Conan lying on the hospital bed, and he opened his eyes slightly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the interaction between the gay friends.

"Really? That troublesome woman must be back again..."

Hattori Heiji got up and went to open the door, but the person outside was not Toyama Kazuha, but Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo still held a bouquet of red carnations in his hand.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Looking at Hattori Heiji in front of him, Qin Zhibo was not surprised. The person who is supposed to come will always come.

However, when Hattori Heiji saw Qin Zhibo, he immediately became panicked.

I picked up all the flowers Qin Zhibo sent me and threw them aside. Now that the owner of the flowers is coming over, wouldn't I be very embarrassed?

Taking away other people's gifts and putting your own gifts in a conspicuous place is such a mean-spirited behavior.

"Wait outside for a moment!"

With that, Hattori Heiji slammed the door shut, then quickly returned to the room to pick out all the "beheaded" lilies from the vase, and then put all the carnations scattered on the table back in place.

Conan, who was standing by, was a little surprised at first, but when he saw the nervous expression on Hattori Heiji's face, he roughly guessed who was coming.

Conan with Half Moon Eyes: It's your own fault...

After restoring the scene in the vase to its original state, Hattori Heiji came back to open the door and said, "Come in."

Qin Zhibo walked in, looked around, saw the red carnations in the vase were a little messy, and the white lilies in the trash can, and immediately understood what had happened.

"Actually, I've long felt that those flowers aren't fresh enough, so I brought some more."

As he spoke, Qin Zhibo walked over, took out all the carnations in the vase and threw them away, then replaced them with the new ones he had bought.

Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded: All this work in vain?

Qin Zhibo glanced at Bai Baihe in the trash can, then turned to look at the black suit worn by Hattori Heiji.

"Black and white, quite suitable for a funeral."

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained: "This is my school uniform..."

"Oh..." Qin Zhibo nodded as if he suddenly understood something, "So that's how it is."

Feeling guilty, Hattori Heiji gave up his seat and let Qin Zhibo sit closer to Conan.

After these days of persistent visits, Conan's favorability towards Qin Zhibo has increased a lot, and he took the initiative to explain his illness to Qin Zhibo.

"...Anyway, the doctor said I can be discharged in two days."

After hearing Conan's words, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of a biology researcher, Haibara Ai predicted Conan's recovery very accurately. If she said twelve days, it would be twelve days, not a day more or less.

"Where would you like to go after you're discharged from the hospital?"

Conan thought about what Mao Lilan had said just now, and said without hesitation: "Sister Xiaolan asked me to participate in the garden party held by their high school."

"Oh……"

Qin Zhibo nodded with satisfaction after collecting useful information.

In that case, I must come and support Conan's "return to the stage".

In other words, the system has not been open for more than ten days.

It's time to open...

Chapter 423 Come on, act well

Two days later, Teitan High School held a garden party.

Since neither Haibara Ai nor Conan told Mouri Ran about the project they were going to participate in, Qin Zhibo cast a simple searching spell and set Conan's face as the target.

A flash of inspiration came to him, and Qin Zhibo's gaze fell in the direction of the gymnasium.

……

There was a long queue in front of the gymnasium. Qin Zhibo looked at the program list and saw that it was a love play to be performed by Class 2B. The name of the play advertised on the billboard was "Lukewarm Love", a love play even more tragic than Romeo and Juliet.

However, the key point Qin Zhibo captured was another.

It turns out that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi are both in Class 2B...

Just as Qin Zhibo was staring at the billboard, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Qin!"

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that it was Ma Chengshi.

"How did you..."

"How did you get here?"

Cheng Shi finished the question first, then explained with a smile: "Dr. Shinichi invited me here. He said that he wanted me to watch the stage play he was directing."

"What about Mr. Qin?" Cheng Shi asked immediately.

"I don't have much work to do today, so I just came here to hang out..."

Qin Zhibo certainly wouldn't say that he was here to take advantage of the situation, and Cheng Shi said that he was temporarily handing over the hospital work to Shioya Miyuki, a nurse from Spider House, and he would rush back immediately after the performance.

Not far away, Tomoaki Arai leaned against the wall quietly and observed, and saw Dr. Cheng Shi in front of the billboard at a glance.

I looked up and down at Cheng Shi's outfit today. She was not wearing a skirt, but slim and capable jeans with a light purple sweater.

Just as Tomoaki Aida was happy that he was wearing jeans today, he noticed that Chengshi was having an enthusiastic conversation with the man next to him.

And this man is Qin Zhibo.

There was a hint of depression in Tomoaki Arai's eyes, because he had only invited Cheng Shi, but two people came.

It feels like a male lawyer invites a female lawyer, but ends up having three big and strong female lawyer colleagues show up.

Fortunately, as the director of this play, Tomoaki Aishide is still able to get admission and does not need to find scalpers.

"Doctor Chengshi, Mr. Qin..."

Arata Tomoaki walked over and greeted him naturally, and Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi also responded.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Tomoaki Aida took them through the employee passage at the back and entered the gymnasium without queuing.

……

Backstage, Qin Zhibo met Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Li Ran and their relatives, as well as Toyama Kazuha who said she came to help.

When she saw Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi, Mao Lilan looked a little surprised.

"Mr. Qin, and Dr. Cheng Shi are here too!"

"It's so embarrassing~"

Mao Lilan covered her face with her hands, looking shy. Anishi Tomoaki quickly stepped forward to make his presence felt, "Actually, I invited Dr. Cheng Shi to come..."

Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing nearby, immediately smelled the scent of gossip when she heard this. She smiled slyly and teased, "Could it be that Mr. Shinde is interested in me?"

Yuanzi's casual ridicule made many people present feel as if they were in a Shura field.

Arata Tomoaki scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't have any..."

Mao Lilan, who is keen on hyping up the original CP: "Sonoko, that's not true, actually..."

Cheng Shi blushed and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Although she didn't know why, Toyama Kazuha was a little excited.

Only Qin Zhibo, the male protagonist that Maori father and daughter thought of, had an indifferent look on his face.

Maori father and daughter: This is really frank...

In addition, there was another person who did not react at all, and that was "Conan".

At this time, "Conan" was wearing a mask on his face, but it could not hide his listless eyes, which revealed a kind of arrogant "laziness".

The Maori family didn't care about Conan's condition today. They just thought that he might have just been discharged from the hospital and was still a little depressed.

But in fact, this "Conan" is actually Haibara Ai in disguise.

The night before yesterday, Haibara Ai broke into the hospital and used the imitation gun prepared by Dr. Agasa to pretend that her identity was discovered by the Black Organization. In order to survive, she had to compromise and eliminate all those who knew about it.

When the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at his forehead, Conan was so scared that his wound almost split open.

Until seven roses shot out from the muzzle of the gun...

After experiencing intimidation, the real Conan has deeply realized how dangerous it is to have his identity exposed, and decides to follow Haibara Ai's plan and choose the third option.

As to what that option is, it's still a bit of an obtuse angle so far.

……

"How are you? Is your cold better?"

"I'm all right."
