Taking the packed fish soup and rice, Qin Zhibo took advantage of the setting sun and walked towards Chengshi Hospital.
Many experiences in the parallel world this time also made Qin Zhibo understand some things.
Of all the people I have come into contact with so far, and every relationship I have established, the one I trust the most is Aso Minori.
When I and Conan found themselves homeless in the parallel world and the office "disappeared", the first place I thought of was Chengshi Hospital.
Looking at all the interpersonal relationships I have come into contact with before, only He Chengshi has a friendship that is free from any interests from the beginning to the end.
Moreover, Chengshi is also the younger brother Qin Zhibo considers to be the most "reliable" to him.
This kind of reliability is not based on ability, but simply on the level of trust.
Qin Zhibo's trust in Narumi even exceeds Conan's trust in his good friend Hattori Heiji.
Cheng Shi's trust in Qin Zhibo is even greater than Qin Zhibo's trust in Cheng Shi.
Therefore, when he discovered that the parallel world was far different from the original world, Qin Zhibo firmly believed that he must return to the original world.
This is not only the fact that the parallel world does not have the reputation, wealth, and connections that he has accumulated with great difficulty, but more importantly, the parallel world does not have this most trustworthy little brother.
Now that his fame is gone, he can continue to solve crimes and make a name for himself.
If your wealth is gone, you can earn commission fees steadily. Mihua is a treasure land of Feng Shui. You don't have to worry about making a fortune as a detective here.
If you no longer have connections, you can start over again in the same way as before.
However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and Akai Shuichi's situation is extremely special, a miracle that is difficult to replicate in the parallel world.
Now that he has finally returned to his original world after all kinds of twists and turns, Qin Zhibo must of course go to Chengshi Hospital to confirm with his own eyes whether his little brother is here.
…
After walking for about 10 minutes, we arrived at the location of Chengshi Hospital in my memory.
Qin Zhibo held his breath and slowed down.
With his iron will, he was actually a little scared at this moment, afraid that when he walked around the corner, he would find that the place where a hospital should be stood was empty.
"call……"
Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and walked around the corner.
Looking up, a white building stood there, with a plaque at the door reading "Chengshi Hospital".
It seems that he is really back.
The corners of Qin Zhibo's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
He quickened his pace and walked over, arrived at the entrance of the hospital, and looked inside through the glass door.
According to the usual time, the hospital should have just sent away the last patient, and Cheng Shi was sorting out medical records in the office.
But something was strange today. The hospital door was locked and it was obviously closed.
Qin Zhibo raised his hand and pushed the glass door, making sure it was locked, feeling a little surprised.
Why did it close so early today?
Did something end early?
Since the closure of the new hospital that was originally responsible for this area, Chengshi Hospital has been flooded with a lot of patients. In addition, Chengshi himself is more of a philanderer than the original one, which has led to the fact that the new doctor has a poor reputation.
If you are likable, you will get more patients.
This directly caused Chengshi to get off work later than normal every day. Nurses usually get off work at 5 o'clock. As a doctor, he has to be busy until at least 6 o'clock.
Unless something special happens, it will not end early.
Maybe it will come true. What will happen today?
No matter how strong Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability is, he can't imagine it out of thin air. He can only put on the magic extractor and close his eyes.
When the image of Cheng Shi's women's clothing was recalled in his mind, a direction quickly came to mind.
When he opened his eyes and took a look, he found that the direction was pointing to the hospital in front of him, and the feeling was very strong, which meant that Chengshi was in the hospital.
But the hospital is closed?
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and immediately became alert.
Narumi has been living in Mika Town for some time. As long as a careful person observes, one can easily figure out that Narumi lives alone and has a considerable income.
In addition, this is 2-chome, a famous villa area for wealthy people in Yoneka Town, so it is easy for thieves to target it.
Female doctor, living alone, big house, rich...it's full of buffs!
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo quickly quickened his pace and walked around to the back door of the hospital.
The front of Chengshi Hospital is the business entity, and the back is the residence, with a back door open.
Qin Zhibo held the fish soup and rice with one hand, and gently pushed the back door with the other hand, and then slowly opened it.
The front door is locked, but the back door is unlocked?
What's happening here?
Qin Zhibo felt a difference in his heart, but then his pupils shrank suddenly and he thought of the worst outcome.
The gangster finished his work and escaped through the back door!
When criminals entered the hospital, they were most likely disguised as patients coming for treatment.
Because Chengshi has the habit of never refusing a patient no matter how late it is when he enters the hospital, they can pretend to be the last wave of patients and hijack Chengshi directly in the clinic.
Then the front and back doors were locked, and since Cheng lived alone, the gangster had a whole night to do whatever he wanted without anyone noticing.
As for what the gangsters want to do, they all know it.
But here's the problem, Cheng Shi's true identity is a man, and the gangsters will easily discover this.
In this way, the gangster will lose interest, and in order to avoid a long night of sleep, he will simply steal the money and escape through the back door.
As for whether Chengshi is still alive, it can only depend on whether the gangster has any conscience at all.
But judging from the ruthlessness of the Mihua criminals, the chances of success are high.
In the current situation, Conan is only one step away from a standard murder scene...
squeak--
Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about what he might see after opening the door and preparing himself mentally in advance, the back door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
"Um?"
"Mr. Qin! Why are you here?"
Aso Minoru turned around in disbelief and saw Qin Zhibo. He was so frightened that he jumped back half a step, and his tone was very surprised.
Qin Zhibo also widened his eyes and looked up and down at Brother Chengshi in front of him.
At this time, Cheng Shi was wearing a light blue shirt and cropped trousers, an apron tied around his waist, and a single ponytail hanging over his shoulders.
"What are you doing?"
"When I was cooking, I found that there was no seasoning at home, so I was going to buy some seasoning from the store across the street..."
It turns out he was cooking.
Qin Zhibo suddenly understood that he was overthinking it. He was just cooking and nothing messy happened.
"Well... I just got some good fish soup from someone. I thought you might have just finished work, so I thought about coming over to eat with you."
Qin Zhibo raised the fish soup bag in his hand, but fortunately he didn't throw it away just now.
If Cheng Shi had come out a few seconds later and thrown away the fish soup bag before rushing in, it would have been a pity for Tou Amuro to have worked so hard to prepare the fish soup.
"Okay! Welcome, welcome!"
Chengshi became visibly happy, "Please come in first, I'll buy seasonings first and I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Cheng Shi trotted towards the other side of the street.
Qin Zhibo opened the door and entered the backyard of Cheng Shi's house alone.
I haven't been here for a while, and the backyard is a little different now than it was back then.
Two new plots of land were opened on both sides of the path in the backyard, and regular pebbles were used to circle the shape of the garden.
However, this project is quite huge and has not yet been completely completed. The weeds in the garden have only just been turned over, and the old soil has not been turned over again.
Are you going to plant flowers or vegetables?
Qin Zhibo guessed that Chengshi wanted to plant something in the yard. This often shows that a person is in a comfortable state of mind and is satisfied with the status quo.
Just like "Okiya Subaru" in the world next door, getting up early in the morning to water the flowers in the landlord's yard is not something an FBI on a mission would do.
Could it be that "Akai Shuichi" next door also left the organization?
Qin Zhibo frowned, but then shook his head and threw away this irrelevant thought.
Pushing the door open and entering the room, looking around, the room was as tidy as ever.
Qin Zhibo put the fish soup and rice on the dining table, then went to the kitchen and took a look. The ingredients on the workbench had been cut, and he probably realized that the seasoning was gone when he was about to cook it.
There weren't many ingredients prepared. Since Cheng Shi lived alone and had to control his diet to stay in shape, he only had one portion of fried lettuce, miso soup, and a small bowl of udon noodles.
This is too good to make a living...
With just this amount of food, Qin Zhibo felt that he couldn't even stuff it between his teeth, and he might not even be able to eat enough to feed Conan.
But Chengshi has endured this kind of life for more than three years.
Let's add another dish. I guess being so hungry all the time will have a negative impact on the body.
Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo opened the refrigerator to see what other ingredients were inside.
But when I opened it, I found that the inside of the refrigerator was similar to the one on the counter. There was no junk food like Coke, fried pork chops, etc. that young people love.
Two tomatoes, four eggs, a carton of milk, half a green onion, a banana... gone.
This kind of refrigerator is in sharp contrast to the refrigerator of Matsumoto Ryohei's family.
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, took out the tomatoes and eggs inside, and prepared a tomato scrambled egg.
Run a cross knife over the tomatoes, peel them, and cut them into cubes. Set aside.
First heat the oil in a pan, add the eggs when the oil is hot, add the chopped tomato pieces after the eggs are set...
Although Qin Zhibo hardly works in his own office, with the blessing of level 2 cooking skills, he is still very good at home-cooked dishes.
In 10 minutes, a plate of red and yellow tomato scrambled eggs was presented to the table.
Qin Zhibo sniffed the vegetables he cooked. As expected, the food he cooked was delicious!
But when I looked up at the time on the wall, I realized that Cheng Shi hadn't come back yet.
Obviously I just went to buy some seasoning...
Wouldn't it be such a coincidence that we would be robbed again outside?
For some reason, after returning from the parallel world, Qin Zhibo suddenly felt that Asheng was very weak and easily hurt in his eyes.
When Mingming was on Yueying Island, Qin Zhibo was moved by Chengshi's strength.
Most of the criminals in Mihua can seek revenge on their enemies for a short while, and when they are discovered, they will kneel down and cry out that they regret it.
But only Chengshi dared to give up a great future, even abandoning his previous identity and even gender, and lurking on the island disguised as a woman for three years, even at the cost of his own death in exchange for the execution of all his enemies.
Such success actually has nothing to do with weakness.
His heart is already stronger than many people.
Of course, this is if the light of Aldebaran is not illuminated...
At this time, the back door was pushed open, and Cheng Shi finally came back, carrying two bags of fresh ingredients.
"Sorry to keep you waiting..."
"There wasn't much food at home, so I went to a nearby supermarket to buy some temporarily."
Qin Zhibo took the two bags of ingredients and said with a smile: "Actually, fish soup is enough, and I just made another dish using the things in your refrigerator."
"Yeah?"
Chengshi looked at the dining table in surprise. Sure enough, there was a delicious plate of tomato scrambled eggs on it.
“It looks delicious!”
"Then come and eat quickly. I guess you are hungry after a busy day, right?"
In fact, it was Qin Zhibo who was hungry, so he couldn't put his heart in front of his back, but it was almost there.
But Chengshi insisted: "No, I bought so many ingredients, I have to show off my skills to make sense..."
"Okay then, I'll wait for you."
Chengshi quickly entered the kitchen with the ingredients and started working.
After another half an hour, two new dishes were added to the table, roasted pork slices with ginger sauce and mapo tofu.
By this time, the fish soup and tomato scrambled eggs were already cold, so Chengshi poured them into the pot and reheated them.
By the time the two sat down at the dining table, an hour had passed since Qin Zhibo had just confirmed the existence of Chengshi Hospital.
"I'm gonna start now!"
Chengshi was the first to pick up the spoon and taste the fish soup brought by Qin Zhibo.
After taking a sip of the soup, Cheng Shi's eyes widened in shock.
“So fresh!”
Qin Zhibo also took a sip. The fish soup, which was as white as milk, exuded an incredible umami flavor and flowed freely on the taste buds of his tongue.
Really fresh!
Toru Amuro is really good at cooking, Shuichi Akai is really lucky!
I guess it’s hard to eat such serious food when you’re on duty as an FBI agent in the United States, right?
"This soup tastes great! Who made it for you?"
Qin Zhibo thought for a second and replied: "My student did it. He is also a private detective, but he is very knowledgeable about cooking. It's really weird..."
"I see..." Chengshi's eyes relaxed without leaving any trace.
"By the way..." Qin Zhibo recalled the fright he had when he first came here, and said: "You should always pay attention to locking the backyard door here, even during the day, in case bad guys get in, it will be bad."
"Bad guy? But the people around here are very nice, and they talk nicely..."
Seeing that Chengshi was a little stupid, thinking that all the good people in the city were, Qin Zhibo told him the case that just happened today.
As soon as he heard that Dr. A Li's house had been robbed, Cheng Shi immediately looked shocked and asked quickly: "What about Xiao Ai? Is Xiao Ai okay?"
"Since it was a break-in, I must not have met Xiao Ai." Qin Zhibo ate some rice with the fish soup, "But the prisoner also ran away, which is a pity."
"So you usually live here by yourself, and it's easy for others to misunderstand you as a woman, so you should be more careful."
