Chapter 340 Night Talk, Choice

Chapter 346 Night Talk, Choice
"Shiho, I'm here to see you."

Two weeks have passed since Shiho and Conan were injured. In the past two weeks, Xiaolan and Sonoko always brought me to the hospital to visit these two patients. Of course, Xiaolan and Sonoko went straight to Conan's ward, while I went straight to Shiho's. Only in the evening, Xiaolan and Sonoko would come to our side to express their condolences. It's not that Xiaolan doesn't care about Shiho, but she is thoughtful and leaves more space for us. . . Well, in fact, this is the product of Miss Sonoko's gossipy soul burning fiercely. She told Xiaolan not to disturb us.

"Yeah." Shiho, who was sitting on the bed, closed the book at hand and nodded to me. Her eyes were a little gentle in her smile, and under the reflection of the setting sun, she had an indescribable beauty. The only regret was the incompatible hospital gown, but this could not hide Shiho's tenderness at all.

After two weeks of recuperation, Shiho has almost recovered. Unlike Conan, Mary has been providing Shiho with special medicines, so her wounds healed and her body recovered much faster than Conan. It's just that I didn't let her leave the hospital and let her continue recuperating until she recovered.

"How do you feel today?" I put the bouquet of flowers I brought into the vase on the bedside table, picked up an apple on the table, and started to spin the fruit knife in my hand rapidly.

"Yeah, it's basically recovered." Shiho touched her lower abdomen. "The wound is basically healed, and it will be fine once the blood scabs go away. As for the scar issue, Mary said she has a way to solve it."

"Really? That's great." I said happily. Then I cut a small piece of apple and handed it to Shiho. "Get well soon. Those kids must miss you so much after not seeing you for so long."

"Heh... I kind of want to go back to school." Shiho smiled. "But, speaking of which, the organization obviously has a scar removal compound, why don't you use it?"

"The smell is too strong. It will affect your lurking ability." I smiled awkwardly, "Besides, don't you think having a few scars on your body will increase your masculinity?"

"Don't come on." Shiho smiled playfully. Daily jokes and casual chats have become the main theme of Shiho and I in the past two weeks. After all, patients need to relax, and I also like this kind of relaxation. Conan's death halo lost its effect when he was injured, so I had a very relaxed life in the past half month. Naturally, my mood was also very good.

"Haha, don't worry about the details." I waved my hand and changed the subject. "By the way, Shiho, I'll give you a gift for when you're about to be discharged from the hospital." As I spoke, my hand pressed on the necklace, and a faint light flashed, and a rose-red women's high-necked T-shirt fell into my hand.

"This is... the bulletproof vest invented by Mr. Skinny Wolf and his team?" Shiho immediately understood the real purpose of my gift. "Is this... necessary?"

"I don't know, it's just a piece of clothing. It's just a little heavier than what you usually wear." I handed the clothes over with a smile. "Try it on."

"Go to hell!" Shiho threw the clothes back as soon as she took them. A blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Hehe. Then try again after I leave." I folded the clothes again and put them aside, then sat on the bed. I asked Shoulang to make this dress urgently. Of course, there is also my dress, but mine has not been made yet. This dress is the most urgent project after Kaito's two dresses. Although I think it is unnecessary, I don't want Shiho to get hurt again.

"By the way, Kaoru, how is the matter about Kudo and your sister going?" After a brief joke, Shiho began to ask formal questions.

"There is absolutely no way out." I leaned my hands on the edge of the bed and looked up at the ceiling helplessly. "In the past two weeks, Xiaolan has been so attentive to Conan that I am 100% sure that she has already determined that Conan is Kudo. Even Sonoko once secretly joked with me that Xiaolan has fallen in love with Conan. I guess Xiaolan is now waiting for Conan to tell her in person."

"Then... do you have any good ideas?" Shiho leaned lightly on the pillow. But the answer she saw was that my head was shaking violently like a rattle.

"To be honest, I don't dare to talk to Xiaolan anymore, for fear that she would recognize me. Fortunately, she is now focused on Conan, otherwise I don't know how things would turn out." I sighed softly. "I also went to find Kaito to ask if he could help with this matter, but unfortunately he is now being targeted by a killer named Spider. According to intelligence, the spider has returned to Japan two days ago. Under my persuasion, Kaito is now as timid as a quail and dares not show his head at all."

"Heh, I wonder what Mr. Kaito, who is far away in the other side of the city, would think of your analogy." Shiho chuckled. "In other words, disguise is no longer an option. The only thing left is..."

"Ah. If it doesn't work, I'll just have to let him take drugs." I stood up from the bed. "Where's the drugs?"

Shiho didn't say anything, but just tilted her head and gestured, looking at the bag not far from her. During Shiho's recuperation, the doctor brought some important data and the antidote test products that Shiho had already prepared. In Shiho's words, since she has nothing to do now, she might as well look at the data and do some research. Although I tried my best to stop her. But I still nodded after Shiho promised to go to bed early, get up early and eat on time. So, the first batch of experimental antidotes was by Shiho's side.

A small box was taken out of Shiho's bag, which contained four neatly packed red and white capsules. This must be the antidote in the same form as the poison.

"I made a reference based on the ingredients in Shiragan and the cold virus. I don't know whether this antidote test product can turn Kudo back or kill him directly." Shiho explained.

"It's okay, it will work." I am still confident about this. Although I have forgotten the plot, Conan was still alive and well in the previous life, so Shiho's medicine should still be effective. Of course, it is not ruled out that I, a little butterfly, may even stir up this storm, unless Conan is unlucky...

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

After saying goodbye to Shiho, Xiaolan took me back home, but after dinner I climbed out the window and went back to the hospital. Xiaolan's garden festival would be in two days, and I had to let Conan make his own decision before that. I must not let Xiaolan know about this.

When I got back to the hospital, I went into Shiho's ward first. After making sure she had gone to bed early, I went to Conan's ward on the other side.

"Hey, are you awake?" I pushed the door open.

"I was awakened by you even though I was awake." Conan held his hands behind his head and looked relaxed, but when he saw me suddenly barging in, he looked down on me with his half-moon eyes. "Why, you're willing to put down the gray to see me?"

"Bah, I came back to see you with good intentions but you don't appreciate it." I complained to Conan. Conan naturally wouldn't care about such a joke.

"Okay, I don't know you?" Conan rolled his eyes at me. "I never had time to ask you, what happened to those robbers?"

"Dead, otherwise I wouldn't be able to rescue you so quickly. I don't care if you die, but if anything goes wrong with my Shiho, I will bring you back to punish you!" "Uh... Never mind, thank you this time." Conan smiled awkwardly with a few black lines on his head. He didn't dare to continue asking. "So, what do you want to see me about this time?"

"What do you think?" I gave Conan an unfriendly look.

"You want to talk about Xiaolan?" Conan also understood what I meant and couldn't help but lower his head in frustration. "Honestly, Xun, I can't hide it anymore."

"How to say?"

"Ran... knows my blood type very well, and her attitude towards me in the past two weeks is not like that towards a child at all. I think I can't hide it any longer." Conan said with a smile on his face. "Xiao Ran, you know what? When I knew that Ran gave me her blood without any hesitation, I was shaken. I think... it's time to tell her everything. She has been waiting for me for too long. Maybe after telling her the truth, I can be freed from this painful concealment. In that case, maybe she can accept me as I am now..."

Kaka.

A strange sound came from Conan's ears. Hearing the sound, Conan turned around in surprise, but what caught his eyes was a black muzzle of a gun and the cold eyes of the gun owner.

"Well, why don't I help you get rid of it now?" The eyes that were once as soft as lavender turned extremely cold at this moment. The hand holding the gun did not shake at all. A faint murderous intent began to slowly spread throughout the room. The flowers in the vase seemed to be withered at this moment as if they were infected by the murderous aura.

"Xiao Xun, you..." Conan's pupils suddenly contracted. He could never have imagined that his good brother, who was chatting with him just a second ago, would draw a gun at him at this moment. Although this was not the first time, Conan could definitely feel the murderous intent this time.

"When you tell the truth to Xiaolan, Xiaolan will tell my father, and my father will tell my mother. Then my identity will be exposed, and my parents will find your parents. Then they will report this to the FBI, and you, me, and Shiho may face FBI protection, or surveillance. Then, the organization will get wind of it, and my family will be in crisis. If you really want to do this, then why don't I help you get rid of it now, and then find a substitute to spread the news that Kudo Shinichi is dead. In this way, Xiaolan may cry because of your death. After that, she will continue to live a safe life." At this moment, my voice no longer has any emotion, but has completely returned to the role of the Ice Devil. Killing someone who stands in my way is no different from a daily routine.

"I..." Conan said nothing. Although I pushed him so hard, Conan just looked embarrassed, not afraid of the threat of death. Looking at his appearance, I can understand his pain now, but compared with the threat to my whole family. I would rather kill Conan with one shot than let my family live forever under the surveillance of the FBI and the organization's hunting. "Xun... do you have any other ideas?"

"Of course." I raised my hand and took back the gun. The deterrence had already worked. There was no need for the gun to appear again. "First, you must resist and keep silent. No matter how Xiaolan guesses, you must deny it." I pointed a finger at him and said. "Second, I will shoot you now and put an end to it." As I spoke, the gun in my hand casually dropped. "And third, take your life as a bet."

"Bet?" Conan didn't understand what I meant.

"Eat it, and you will either turn back into Shinichi or become a dead person." With a sneer on my lips, I handed a red and white capsule to Conan.

"...Didn't you say there was no antidote?" Looking at the capsule in front of him, Conan smiled helplessly.

"This is not an antidote, but a test subject. Whether you live or die, it's up to fate." I said seriously. "This is a fifty percent bet. Either you play a show with me, or it's your turn to end."

"Oh, do I have any choice?" Conan took the capsule with a hint of disdain. "Even if it means death, I want to take a gamble. I still have a lot to say to Xiaolan, even if it's only for a short while..." After saying that, Conan raised his head and was about to swallow the capsule.

clang!
Before Conan opened his mouth, I hit him on the head with the butt of my gun. The capsule also rolled onto the bed.
"Wow! What are you doing!" Conan said in pain.

"What a fool! There are still two days before the fair! How can you eat in a few minutes?"

"Uh... yes, it's my fault, my fault. Hehe." Conan rubbed his head and smiled apologetically. "Then... I became Kudo, what should I do with Conan's identity?"

"Shiho's injury is almost healed. I'll have her dress up as you to help out a little. I'm familiar with the doctors anyway, so it's no big deal to tell them to give me a few more days of sick leave." I put away my gun and sat next to Conan. "Remember, you can only show up once, say hello to Xiaolan in the audience, and then you must leave immediately. You must not suddenly appear in the crowd again. Otherwise, if the organization really knows that you are still alive, I guarantee that you will not survive the second night."

"This... let Huibara pretend to be me?"

"No one can pretend to be Kudo, but it's not hard to pretend to be Conan." I shrugged. "Don't worry, I'll be here the whole time. I can handle any problems you have."

"Okay." Conan said to me seriously. "Well, I'll leave it to you this time!"

"Okay, I'm leaving." Seeing Conan's statement, I didn't say anything more, waved my hand and walked out of the room. Outside the door, Shiho, wearing a coat, had been standing there for a long time.

"Eh? Did I wake you up?" I was a little surprised to see Shiho standing outside.

"I was startled by the murderous aura, but when I came to my senses I realized it was yours." Shiho tightened her coat. "Did you agree?"

"Yeah. We've reached an agreement." I reached out and held Shiho in my arms, then walked back to her ward. "Let's talk about it. It's cold here."

Back in the ward, I put Shiho back on the bed and tucked her in before I slowly spoke. "We have basically discussed everything that needs to be discussed. Conan has also decided to take the experimental drug. During this time, you need to put on makeup and dress up as him. In this way, when Shinichi and Conan appear in the same frame, Xiaolan should be confused. This is the best ending."

"That's all I can do. I hope the medicine works." Shiho nodded, and then gave him a half-moon look. "But why me? Besides this, do you have any other ideas?"

"Hmm? Anything else? Nothing?" I pretended to be stupid. "I just thought it would be more convenient this way. As for being able to take a shower with you, sleep in the same bed with you, etc., I never thought about that... Hey, Shiho, calm down, calm down... Put down the fruit knife, I'll do it, you just want to eat an apple, I'll do it for you..."
