Conan stood on tiptoe at the front desk and asked the young woman who was happily playing with Jiang Xia's new business card: "Sister, are you familiar with Brother Otosaka?"
"Huh?" The receptionist turned around and smiled happily at the cute child, "It's not bad, after all, we are colleagues who get along day and night."
Conan's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me something about him? Anything is fine - Brother Jiang Xia asked me to ask."
…
The lady at the front desk said everything she knew, and all this conversation reached Vodka's ears.
Vodka: "..." He is very skilled at pretending to be powerful. Today he can use Jiang Xia's name to trick passers-by, and tomorrow he can use Uzuo's name to harm the organization... Thinking about what this guy will look like when he grows up, it's really scary. If
It would be great if this evil seedling could be killed in its infancy.
For a moment, Vodka thought of countless ways for this kid to die easily.
However, in the end, he could only take a deep breath and suppress his murderous intention.
"Calm down! Think about it carefully, this guy didn't come earlier or later, why did he come here now?"
Vodka pushed up his sunglasses with a wise look in his eyes: "Maybe this is the bait Uzo set for me. He guessed that I was nearby, so he threw out this hateful child - if I am tempted to commit a crime because of this, I will do something fancy.
His tactics...that idiot in Pisco may be a lesson to others."
…
Several walls away.
Conan, who was sitting at the front desk, felt a chill in his back. While listening to the lady at the front desk, he couldn't help but look around quietly: "..." Could it be that Mr. Otosaka was aware of the current situation, so he was so weak and helpless?
Primary school vividly awakens murderous intention?
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but be alert: This time he came alone. Although he had foot-strengthening shoes and anesthesia needles in hand, if he was deliberately targeted by an adult who was familiar with the terrain...
"?!"
Just when he thought of this, his eyes paused and suddenly stopped at the decoration next to the front desk.
——In this hospital that pursues original ecology, even the ornaments are made in the shape of vines and petals. At this time, if you look closely, the inside of one of the "buds" seems to be wrapped with an inconspicuous black shadow.
.
Normally, Conan wouldn't pay too much attention and would just think that it might be a bulging part of plastic. But at this time, he was on alert and was extremely careful about any abnormalities.
While the lady at the front desk was busy reminiscing, Conan moved over as if nothing had happened and quietly stretched out his hand to pry open the petals.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: There was a small bugging device hidden in this decorative flower!
...Why would anyone install such a thing in an ordinary hospital?
Conan's expression changed slightly, and he calmly retracted his hand, pretending not to notice anything.
After thinking for a while, he said to the receptionist: "I understand, there is one more thing. Please tell Brother Otosaka and ask him to come to the hospital lobby in half an hour - this is what Brother Jiangxia said."
The lady at the front desk was a little confused as to why the child didn't tell Otosaka directly just now, instead asking her to tell her. However, considering that children are forgetful, maybe they just forgot, she did not refuse: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she saw Conan staring at her eagerly, urging her implicitly.
Front desk lady: "..."
She originally wanted to wait until she saw Otosaka, and it was still half an hour anyway, but now...
She sighed: "Okay, I'll go find him."
Conan followed.
After leaving the front desk and coming to the empty outdoor area, Conan asked, "Has anyone new come to the hospital recently?"
"Um..." The receptionist couldn't help but glance at this child who had so many questions. But fortunately, she was used to being the receptionist and answered questions very professionally. "New people in the hospital? You mean those hospitalized patients?"
?”
Conan nodded obediently.
The lady at the front desk habitually answered all questions: "There have been very few people recently. There are only two patients transferred from the geriatrics department and the psychiatric department."
"Geriatrics and psychiatry..."
"That's right." The lady at the front desk thought of something and added, "It's okay to ask our staff, but you can't disturb the guests - you will be asked out by the security uncle."
The words fell to the ground, but there was no response.
The lady at the front desk turned her head in confusion and found that there was nothing around her: the child had slipped away without knowing when.
Front desk lady: “……?”
…
Conan slipped back into the hospital building.
After careful observation and confirming that there were no monitors nearby, he went straight to the inpatient department, sneaked into the corresponding nurse station, and secretly looked through the inpatient list.
Soon, his eyes were fixed on a fresh name - Taro Yamada.
Conan's face changed several times: "..." If I remember correctly, this is the name vodka uses in society.
"Although this name is very popular, maybe it's just a person with the same name, but with the bugging device just now, it seems like a coincidence."
Conan closed the list and thought thoughtfully: "The installation traces of that bug are very new. If it is really vodka... what is the purpose of that guy?"
"First of all, it's impossible for him to really come to the hospital - how could the cadres of that organization have such serious psychological problems? To say the least, even if they did, they would never come to see an outside doctor."
"So what is a hospital up to?"
Conan recalled the room number he had just seen, and felt ready to take a look.
However, when I think about the questions I just asked in the name of Jiang Xia, these words may have been eavesdropped by Vodka...
Conan gritted his teeth and could only barely suppress the urge.
"In Vodka's eyes, I am representing Jiang Xia now." Conan touched the back of his head, "The investigation is okay, but if Vodka is found... With my unlucky experience, Jiang Xia must not be allowed to do the same.
Repeat the same mistakes."
"But if I just ignore this matter, when will I be able to collect enough clues to destroy that hateful organization?"
After weighing it for a moment, Conan suddenly had an idea.
"Yes!"
The mini version of the detective pushed up his glasses, and a cold reflection flashed across the lenses:
"That bug is the breakthrough! - As long as we find a way to guide the police to discover the bug, they will naturally follow the investigation.
"In this way, the black organization will not be left with the impression that 'the detective is here for vodka.' They will only think that vodka was careless and exposed his whereabouts.
“The matter of eavesdropping on information is different from the previous lie of ‘Mr. Yamada’ about renting a car. The latter is just a bit illegal, while the former is suspected of breaking the law.
"Judging from what Haiyuan said, once Vodka is taken to the police station for investigation..."
