Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes in a daze, and in addition to seeing an unfamiliar ceiling, he saw a familiar face.
"Xiaolan..." His throat was a little dry, probably because he was sweating too much and his body was dehydrated.
By the way, body...his body...eh?
Kudo Shinichi shook the hand stretched out in front of him twice, and found that it did not look like a child's hand. He confirmed that his current state should still look like Kudo Shinichi's.
"Xinyi, how are you?" Xiaolan looked worried, "Are you sick? Why did you faint suddenly."
"How long have I been unconscious?" Kudo Shinichi sat up and found that he had no other discomfort except that he felt a little weak. Even the heart palpitations before coma were gone.
"About fifteen minutes." Mao Lilan looked at the time and said, "Do you want to see a doctor? Some clinics should still be open at this time."
"By the way, there is a new doctor from our school hospital. I can also ask him..."
"No need." Kudo Shinichi interrupted her. How could he appear in the outside world like this, let alone the Shinchu Clinic right next to Kuroki Jin's candy house?
Tomaki Shinde examined him today, and Jin Kuroki may know that he is back tomorrow.
So he warned: "Don't tell anyone about my return."
"Ah?" Mao Lilan obviously didn't understand, "Are you... still going?" she asked sadly.
Kudo Shinichi nodded slightly with guilt and said: "I may leave in two days, you...Xiaolan..."
Mao Lilan gently wiped the corner of her eyes, and when she saw the embarrassed and guilty expression on her childhood sweetheart's face, she suddenly burst into tears and smiled:
"It doesn't matter, I know you are going to solve a big case, right? Will you save a lot of people?"
"Yes." Kudo Shin nodded. If the black organization is destroyed, many people will be saved!
"Let's go then." Mao Lilan's eyes were sparkling, a little red but she smiled brightly, "After all, Shinichi, you look so handsome when you solve the case!"
Being hit in the face by this almost direct compliment, Kudo Shin opened his mouth and found that his face was already getting hot. He quickly turned his head away and coughed twice.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Mao Lilan thought he was ill, "I'll get you a glass of water. You stay in bed and don't move." After that, she got up and left the room.
Kudo Shinichi turned around and only saw her back leaving in a hurry. He leaned on the bedside a little tiredly and hit his head on the soft pillow.
His right hand gently touched his heart and whispered: "How much I want to stay with you like this..."
It's just that he can't, he can't maintain this body forever. He doesn't know when he will turn into Edogawa Conan, and the next time he will change back is also far away.
Then he thought of Haibara Ai again. She had now transformed into Edogawa Conan and lived in her uncle's house. This also achieved the imagined situation of Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi appearing at the same time.
His memory couldn't help but return to the night before the garden party, when Haiyuan Ai pointed a gun at himself and revealed the situation he had imagined and suspected.
Because there was really no good way to dispel Xiaolan's suspicion, Kudo Shinichi decided to confess to her: He (referring to Conan) is Kudo Shinichi. The reason why he became like this was because he wanted to investigate an organization, and he was also around them.
People who are always present in the organization.
Just when I was lying on the bed thinking about it, I heard a "click" sound that was familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
He looked sideways and saw the black muzzle of the gun pointed directly at his head, and the person holding the gun was his current partner, Haibara Ai.
"Haiyuan?"
"I'm so sorry." There was no embarrassed look on her face, but she was still smiling faintly, "It seems that my body is filled with the same cruel black blood as theirs."
Haibara Ai said that her identity had been discovered by the organization when she was on the rooftop of the Cupido Hotel. The reason why they didn't do anything to her was because they liked her smart mind and wanted her to return to the organization to continue the research on the APTX4869 drug. p>
As long as she is willing to return to the organization, except for those who know about the organization, everyone else will be safe and sound at this stage.
This was indeed a choice that Haihara Ai could make. Conan believed it almost immediately, and he broke into a cold sweat after believing it.
Because... Haiyuan Ai is about to press the trigger.
"So, great detective, goodbye."
Bang! There was a gunshot. Conan closed his eyes and waited for death. For a while, he felt nothing else. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Haibara pulled out a bouquet of flowers from the gun with a faint smile and inserted it into the bottle on the bedside table. p>
"If this is the case, what should you do?"
This is not impossible. At least Haihara Ai knows in her heart that if her true identity is discovered by Kuroki Ren one day, returning to the organization and serving a life sentence will be her best choice.
Jin Kuroki will protect her, as well as the rest of the Young Detective Team. If she opens her mouth, maybe Dr. Agasa, who knows about the organization's affairs, can be jailed instead of being silenced.
If things really come to this point, Haihara Ai will definitely choose this way.
So in order to avoid this happening, or to make it happen later, Haibara Ai gave Kudo Shinichi a third option. She took out a small pill box and placed it on Conan's pillow.
.
The medicine box contained a temporary antidote to APTX4869. The specific efficacy of the medicine was not guaranteed by Haihara Ai, but there was a chance to transform back into Kudo Shinichi, so he would try it even if he risked his own life.
Fortunately, the attempt was effective. Kudo Shinichi looked at Xiaolan who walked into the house with a water glass and smiled, smiling brightly, confidently and freely.
Anyway, no matter what the future holds, he is satisfied now.
"Xiaolan."
"Huh?" Mao Lilan raised her head and looked at him with the slightest doubt.
"How about you free up your time tomorrow night? I'll take you out for dinner."
"Okay." Mao Lilan didn't notice anything strange, "Then do you want to go back to school tomorrow?"
"No way." Kudo Shinichi put the water glass back on the table and wiped his mouth, "It's best not to let anyone know about my return. If I go back to class, I will inevitably be unable to hide it."
You definitely can’t hide it. Teidan High School is so close to the Candy House. Anyone who goes to Kuroki Jin’s place will tell him that he, the great detective, is back for class today.
"That's it." Xiaolan nodded when she heard this, "Why don't we go out and have a good day tomorrow."
"Isn't there class tomorrow?" Kudo Shinichi asked stupidly.
Mao Lilan paused, refrained from punching him, and smiled softly: "What, Shinichi doesn't want to go out with me?"
Kudo Shinichi, who was instantly filled with the desire to survive, left and waved his hand: "How come, it's best if we can go out and play together. We can go to dinner after playing. Is there anything you want to play? I'll book tickets in advance."<
/p>
Only then did Mao Lilan loosen his clenched fists with satisfaction.
