Chapter 436 Four Porsches
Chapter 436 Four Porsches
"Cough cough cough..." There were bursts of coughing coming from Shiho's room, followed by heavy breathing.
After I got home yesterday, Conan's words made me silent for a long time. Trust, what does trust mean? Trust that I will not kill people? Or allow me to protect myself from the FBI at a critical moment?
Perhaps the brainwashing of Conan was somewhat effective. Now Conan was no longer so resistant to the fact that I would kill people. Perhaps in addition to self-protection, what I did was also for the so-called justice, which made Conan have different ideas.
So the next day, when Conan learned that Shiho's condition had worsened, he followed me to the doctor's house to visit Shiho without saying a word, without mentioning anything about being followed last night.
"You agreed to have a good rest, why did your condition get worse?" I placed my hand on Shiho's forehead beside her bed, feeling the burning warmth in my palm and feeling indescribable pain in my heart.
"It's probably not just a common cold." The doctor frowned. I think Ai Jun must have caught a pathogenic cold, which is why he suddenly developed symptoms.
"I took medicine yesterday, but I didn't expect it didn't work. Cough cough..." Shiho's breathing became heavier, and it was obvious that the fever had begun to affect her body temperature.
"Aren't you guys still dealing with yesterday's stalker today? Why are you all here?"
"Those followers are not as important as you." I frowned and pinched Shiho's little hand to show my dissatisfaction with her words. "You're already so burned up, don't force it. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
"Xiaoxun, today is Sunday. All the clinics around here are closed." The doctor reminded.
"If there's nothing nearby, let's go somewhere farther away." I turned around and replied. Given Shiho's current condition, it would be very bad for her health if she delayed any further.
"How about we ask Dr. Shinde for help?"
"No, don't look for him no matter who you look for." I stopped him hastily. Are you kidding? The current Aikawa Tomoaki is Sister Bei. I originally wanted to stay away from her, so why are you sending her upstairs?
"Huh? Why?" The doctor looked puzzled.
"Nothing, I just don't like this person very much." I made up an excuse.
"You can't find him even if you want to." Conan put his hands behind his head and squinted his eyes. "I actually called him today."
"What?!" Conan's words made me retreat strategically.
"It's just that he didn't answer the phone."
"Tmd, please finish it all at once."
"There was a case in his house before, and you were not there at that time." Conan walked to the side and picked up his coat. "The verdict of that case is almost out, I think he should be busy with related matters, right?"
"Heh... She doesn't have the mood to care about that. Who knows what Sister Bei is planning now." I complained quietly with a twitching mouth. But Conan and the doctor didn't hear it. At this time, if Vermouth was exposed, Conan might just go out and take a taxi. This would very likely cause her to attack us directly.
After all, no matter how Sister Bay plans to manipulate the organization in secret, on the surface, she is still the Vemouth of the organization and the Thousand-Faced Witch on the killer list.
Even if she wants to hide something, once it is exposed, she will not hesitate to kill the prey in front of her.
"Come to think of it, I remember there is a clinic inside the Dongdu Department Store in Beihu Town. They are closed on Thursdays. How about we go there?" Conan suggested again.
"Okay, let's go first." Finally, I nodded.
To be honest, I originally wanted to call Mary, but Mary sent me a text message a few days ago telling me that it was not convenient to meet in the short term, the reason being.
Ling has returned and started to go on missions.
So, I temporarily lost Mary as a secret line, and I need to wait for the right time for her to contact me. The only information I know is that Ling has completely killed the spider. Now we are in Neon. The next step is to track down the whereabouts of the traitor Sherry, so Mary said that it would be better for us to hide for a while.
When I got the news, I planned to send Shiho to Alcatraz, but Shiho said that there were less than two weeks left before the exam and she wanted to hold on a little longer. In the face of danger, Shiho chose her friendship with the children.
Facing such a Shiho, I could only nod my head. It was rare for Shiho to be willful to me, so I had to bear with it. Moreover, even if Shiho was really discovered by Ling at this stage, it might not be a bad thing. With Vermouth wavering and undecided about her position, it would be a good opportunity to contact Ling alone at this time, but the risk was too great.
Although the rear area has not yet been established, at least the most basic guarantees are in place, so it’s okay to be a little willful.
Ten minutes later, the doctor drove the Beetle and took us to Beihu Town. Conan sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window at the rainy scene. In the back seat, Shiho rested her head on my legs, and her heavy breathing had not recovered much. The only thing I could do was to take out the water bag from the necklace again and again and put it on Shiho's forehead to cool her down physically.
"Doctor, I suddenly thought of a question." Sitting in the back row, I suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Today is the weekend. If all the clinics near us are closed, then we are not the only ones who chose that hospital for treatment."
"Huh?" The doctor was slightly stunned. "That makes sense."
"Why not give us a phone call and ask first?" Conan suggested.
"Oh, okay." After saying that, the doctor took out his mobile phone and asked Conan to check the clinic's phone number.
"Hello, this is Beihu Clinic." Soon, the phone was dialed and the voice of the nurse on the other end fell into our ears.
"Excuse me, I want to ask if your clinic can accept patients now." "Yes, but there are so many patients right now. I'm afraid we can't arrange a consultation for you right away. If you make an appointment now, you will have to wait for about two hours."
"Sure enough..." I sat in the back seat and my face was not very good. In two hours, I could drive to your hospital which is even farther away.
"How about we make an appointment first?" Conan thought for a moment. "It's raining outside now. Even if we want to go somewhere else, the transportation won't be very convenient."
"Okay, let's go to this one." After thinking about it, Conan thought what he said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
"By the way, I heard that there's a restaurant in the food court of that department store that's very famous for its scrambled egg porridge. Lunch time will be soon, so let's bring some for Aijun. Maybe he can recover some energy after eating it." The doctor is always excited when it comes to food.
"If a bowl of porridge from that restaurant can really help Shiho's fever go away quickly, I'd even buy that restaurant." I could only smile bitterly in response to the doctor's words. But it would be good to take Shiho to taste some delicious food, even though Shiho might not have an appetite right now.
Soon, we arrived downstairs of the department store.
"Shiho, we're here." The doctor's car stopped, and I gently patted Shiho's shoulder, indicating that she could get out.
"Hmm." The mosquito-like response seemed to tell me how weak Shiho was at the moment.
Sitting up, Shiho rubbed her still hot head. On the other side, Conan, who got off the car earlier, also opened the door for Shiho.
"How is it? Can you still walk?" Conan asked.
"Yeah. No problem." Shiho nodded and got out of the car. But just as she got out, Shiho's eyes widened instantly.
"Kaoru, over there." Following Shiho's gaze, I looked across and what caught my eye was a Porsche 356A.
"Eh?" I was also stunned when I saw this. Isn't this Gin's car? I walked forward and took a look. Only then did I see the real body of the car in the dim light.
"You scared me." The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I thought Gin also came here to eat scrambled egg porridge.
"It's okay, the car is a 356A. But the color is wrong. Although it looks a bit like black in the dark, it is indeed dark green. It is not GIN's car." I gave Shiho a reassuring look.
"Is that so?" Perhaps the fever affected Shiho's judgment. In the dim basement, the dark green car was no different from a black one.
"But it's rare. Porsche 356A is an old brand. I didn't expect to see it here." Conan also came over. He also knew what we were looking at.
"But there are three Porsches parked here at once, which is basically understandable. This should be a group of Porsche enthusiasts who parked their cars here, perhaps for a dinner party."
As we were talking, a white car drove up from the other end of the basement. Looking around, it was a white Porsche 911 driving slowly towards us, finally stopping in front of us and backing into the only space between the two Porsches. Three people got out of the car at once and walked to the cars next to them.
"You are indeed a Porsche fan." Conan raised a smile. In order to confirm his point of view, Conan rushed up to
The people coming down greeted each other.
"Shiho, if you feel uncomfortable, just sit in the car." Seeing that Shiho was not in a good mental state, I walked up to persuade her. "The hospital is full, and I believe the food court upstairs is also full. Instead of waiting in line, why not rest in the car and we will buy it for you."
"Yeah." Shiho did not refuse, and her glasses were still staring at the Porsche not far away.
"Don't worry, there's nothing dangerous." I patted Shiho's shoulder to reassure her. "Even if these cars are really related to the organization, they are no match for me in a fight like this. I'm number five on the list!"
“Hu…” Seeing me with my hands on my hips and breathing out of my nose, Shiho smiled knowingly. “Okay, I’m fine.”
Seeing Shiho calm down, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the doctor.
"Doctor, Shiho isn't in good condition. I think I'd better stay with her in the car. You and Conan can go upstairs to eat, and then bring it down for us. Or when the consultation time comes, we can go upstairs to find you."
"Well, that's fine." The doctor nodded. Then he walked towards Conan and told him about our situation.
Hearing this, Conan looked at us, waved his hand, and the two of them left together.
After they left, I returned to the car and looked down at Shiho, who closed her eyes again. A smile appeared on my face.
"It's a rare moment for the two of us." I said relaxedly while stroking Shiho's messy hair.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't have the energy to respond to you. Ahem...." Shiho forced a smile.
"Haha, no need. It's nice to just watch you sleep quietly." I patted Shiho's forehead.
"Take a break. You've been working hard." Although she didn't go to the front line, Shiho never stopped her work behind the scenes. She never stopped setting up the pharmaceutical factory or developing the antidote.
"Yeah." Shiho nodded gently. She didn't reject my kindness. She leaned her head against my chest and sniffed the long-lost lavender scent. Then she relaxed and fell asleep.
"Why do you have to work so hard? Work is not something that can be done in a short time." Looking at Shiho's sleeping face, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I could be in this world. I could be by her side.
