Chapter 229 Alibi

Conan saw with his own eyes that the uncle who hit and ran walked into the Metropolitan Police Department. Although he doubted the uncle's intentions, he had already turned himself in, so he couldn't hold on to him.

In the end, full of doubts, he and his two friends returned the same way and returned to Uncle Maori and his friends.

…………

Half an hour later...

We came to the hospital.

In the ward, all the members of the Junior Detective Team stayed together, but there was no sign of Maori and his daughter.

Because they went to see the doctor.

The adults were away, and the seven children gathered together to discuss what had just happened.

"That uncle is really weird." Mitsuhiko frowned and said puzzledly: "He hit Xiaoyu, but he didn't get out of the car to check the situation. Instead, he went to the Metropolitan Police Department to turn himself in. I really don't know what to say about him."

Hiroki took over his words and analyzed: "If that person had a sense of justice and responsibility, he wouldn't have gotten out of the car to check after hitting someone."

"But if he has no sense of justice and responsibility, then he would not turn himself in. This is really strange."

Yuan Tai crossed his arms and said unhappily, "No matter what, this is such a bummer!"

"Xiao Yu, are you okay?" Ayumi asked worriedly. She rubbed her eyes, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her voice trembled a little.

"Obviously, I was the one that the car was going to hit. If you hadn't taken the blow for me, you wouldn't have come to the hospital."

Although Ayumi knew that with Ze Yu's abilities, he would be fine even if he was hit by a car, she still couldn't control her emotions.

After all, Ze Yu was hit because of her, and she felt a little guilty.

"I've already told you, I'm fine, I'm not a vase." Seeing that Ayumi was so concerned about his safety, Ze Yu smiled helplessly, then patted his chest and said confidently: "When have you ever seen me get hurt?"

"That's true." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, Ayumi, why are you always targeted by bad guys?" Ze Yu asked curiously, "How many times have you been kidnapped? When someone wants to hit us with their car, they always choose you first, as if you are a tool... Do you have a physique that attracts bad guys?"

"Just like Sister Sonoko has a special physique that attracts scumbags." Ze Yu has not forgotten what happened to Sonoko, and at this moment he couldn't help but pull her over to talk about it, just as an example.

"I don't know either..." Ayumi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with some distress.

"Maybe it's because Ayumi is a girl?" Mitsuhiko speculated, "Girls are more vulnerable and easier to be targeted."

"But Haibara-san has never been stared at." Genta scratched his head and said hesitantly.

"Hmm?" Huibara Ai raised her head and looked at him.

Yuan Tai smiled awkwardly.

"Don't go too far off topic." Conan, who was standing aside, pushed up his glasses that reflected white light on his nose and suddenly said, "Don't forget why we are here. Isn't it because of that guy who hit someone with his car and fled?"

"I always felt that there was something wrong with that guy, because he was obviously trying to make us catch up with him. Not only did he drive slowly, he also stopped several times and even reversed. He used various methods to slow down his speed just to make us catch up with him."

"It's as if he deliberately let us see him turn himself in. Isn't that too purposeful?"

"Although I don't know why he did this, no matter how I think about it, it's very abnormal." Conan expressed his doubts.

He understood that at the speed of a solar skateboard, it would be basically impossible to catch up with a car traveling at full speed.

However, the guy who hit someone and fled actually slowed down his speed, allowing Conan and others to catch up with him and see him surrender himself with their own eyes.

This is very strange.

After hearing Conan's words, everyone except Ze Yu fell into deep thought.

Genta and the other two frowned in deep thought, unable to figure out the solution, while Haibara Ai and Hiroki also looked serious.

They were all thinking about the question Conan asked.

"Is it necessary to think about such a simple question?" Ze Yu smiled and said, "He must want us to remember the time when he bumped into me, so that we can help him to prove his alibi."

"After all, it's not like we haven't encountered this kind of case before. If we think about it a little, we'll understand."

"Alibi?" Conan was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said in surprise: "Xiao Yu, do you mean that the uncle who ran away from the accident killed someone and then deliberately attacked us, so that we can help him to prove his alibi?"

"Why do you automatically think of a murder case whenever you hear the word 'alibi'? Is this a habit you've become accustomed to?" Ze Yu complained, then said, "But you're right, that's probably the situation."

Conan's eyes gradually became serious.

"Murder case?" Yuan Tai was not afraid, but asked excitedly, "Is it our Junior Detective Team's turn to appear?"

At this time...

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Xiaolan's voice came over.

"What murder case are you talking about? The doctor is here. Xiaoyu, lie down quickly!" Xiaolan walked into the ward and said to everyone.

When they saw Xiaolan come in, everyone stopped discussing the previous topic and just greeted her.

Seeing a young female doctor walk in next to Xiaolan, Zeyu nodded and lay down on the bed.

The doctor checked and frowned: "Are you sure this child was hit by a car?"

"Yes, doctor, is there any problem?" Xiaolan asked nervously.

"No problem, he's healthy." The doctor touched his chin in confusion, "But no problem is the biggest problem. How can a person who was hit by a car have no problems at all?"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Hearing the doctor's words, Xiaolan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said: "Doctor, I definitely didn't lie to you. Xiaoyu was indeed hit by a car just now, but maybe his body is relatively strong, so he didn't hurt his bones, right?"

"That's probably the case. I was too talkative." The doctor nodded and said, "Although his body was not injured, his clothes were a little torn and even had some burn marks. He must have been hit by a car, but it wasn't serious."

"Judging from this child's condition, he can be discharged from the hospital at any time," the doctor concluded.

Xiaolan said gratefully: "Thank you, doctor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Maori walked in.
