Chapter 437: When the roof leaks, it rains all night
So Thank You For Everything 金动きだした成けてほしいよforgetられぬこの思い
The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the quiet atmosphere in the car. After Shiho fell asleep, I unconsciously entered a state of resting with my eyes closed. It seemed like a dozing process and my memory was a little hazy.
But the sudden ringing of the phone brought me back to my senses and woke up Shiho who was still resting.
I picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Conan.
"Moximoxi, what's wrong?" I said in a daze.
"Xun! Get ready, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
hum!
Conan's nervous words instantly cleared my mind. I was ready for battle, and the sudden momentum also made Shiho beside me stand up. Although her body was still in an extremely uncomfortable state, she also perked up a little at this moment.
"What's the situation!" My voice turned cold and I was fully prepared for battle.
"I was just waiting in line for the fried egg porridge at Zun Ya Tei, and I ran into Teacher Judy and Xiaolan."
"What?" Conan's words stunned me. I thought it was really Gin who went to eat scrambled egg porridge, but I didn't expect it was Judy. But this shouldn't be the case. Even if it was Judy, Conan shouldn't be so panicked.
“Then I was caught on camera in a TV interview that popped up.”
“…fack!”
The first part is not the point, the second part is the point, which means that the FBI, who we managed to shake off, may find us again. If they find us this time, the doctor will not be able to escape.
Unlike Judy, although Judy is the FBI, she has no clues about me or Shiho. Shiho never intended to let her see me, and me... Maybe Judy has never thought of my current state.
On the other side, Akai Shuichi seemed to have taken cold medicine, his nose and eyes worked better, and from the moment he saw me or Shiho, he kept chasing us. If he found our residence, no matter what Akai's purpose was, there would inevitably be a conflict between him and me.
So, the question is, when Conan's performance is seen by Judy, what will Judy do next? When Akai was still making rye whiskey, he lost contact with Judy. What if the two of them meet again by accident? My information will definitely be leaked, and the FBI will come to my door directly.
In that case, I might have to fight the FBI before I fight the organization. They won't just sit back and watch me grow in power.
"I'll drive out. How long will it take for you to arrive?" I asked Conan on the phone.
"We're already in the elevator. It'll take five minutes at most." Conan replied. "The garage has surveillance cameras. It's inconvenient for you to drive."
"Then I'll take Shiho away first..."
"Cough cough cough!" Perhaps because of the sudden mental tension, Shiho coughed even more violently.
"No, I need to take Shiho to the hospital first. You and the doctor go first."
"Wait for us, we'll be there soon. Let's go to another one..."
what! ! ! ! !
Just before Conan finished speaking, a scream caught my attention. In the parking lot not far from us, the drivers of four Porsche 911s suddenly screamed. The source of his scream was that he was panicked when he saw his drunk companion sitting next to him.
From a distance, I saw that my companion had saliva on his mouth, his face was blue, and there was a deep mark on his throat. I got out of the car and ran over, and then I saw that the man's pupils had begun to dilate and he was dead. And he had been dead for a while.
"Someone died at this time..." Looking at the scene in front of me, my brows furrowed deeply.
"Kaoru!"
After a while, Conan ran towards us from the elevator. Looking at the scene in front of him, Conan was also shocked.
"It seems like I can't leave for a while." I narrowed my eyes.
"Ah, even if we leave at this time, we will be called back by the police soon." Conan also nodded.
"This may make it even harder for us to leave." I let out a sigh. "How long will it take to resolve?"
"From the scene, I have no clue for now." Conan stared at the scene. "Give me an hour."
"Okay, I'll go back and take care of Shiho and hide for a while." I nodded to Conan, "If there's anything urgent, call me immediately."
"it is good."
"Oh, I found some details." I turned to Conan and reminded him. "The death didn't happen too long ago, but I was here all this time. Although I didn't open my eyes at the time, I would have heard any noise outside. But there wasn't any. So there's something fishy about the death. There wasn't a fight. I suggest you check the surveillance."
"Eh?"
"Second, the marks on the neck are very thin lines, similar to fishing line or piano wire. From these two perspectives, I'll leave the rest to you."
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards Shiho.
"Shiho, are you okay?" Seeing Shiho lying in the car breathing heavily, I felt very upset that I couldn't take her to the hospital right away.
Damn, when the roof leaks it pours, and troubles come one after another. "Yeah, it's okay." Shiho reluctantly gave me a comforting reply. "What happened outside?"
"One died, right across from us."
"When?"
"Probably when we were taking a break." I reached out and wiped the sweat off Shiho's forehead. "I don't know how, but Kudo is already thinking of a way. But the bad news is that the FBI may know we are here, so we need to leave quickly."
"What should we do? Should we go first?"
"It's too late. Something like this has happened here. The police will be here soon. They will call in all the people who have entered the building recently. This way, we will be the focus of attention and we won't be able to escape. Unless Kudo can find the murderer as soon as possible."
"Now what?"
"Wait, wait until Kudo solves the case, then we can leave as soon as possible."
"Is that so?" Shiho's face was pale. It seemed that she had entered the most serious stage of the fever.
"Shiho, lie down for a while." I walked into the car and let Shiho lean on my shoulder. "Leave everything to Kudo now. We need to maintain our strength."
"Yeah." She said she wanted to maintain her strength, but Shiho was already exhausted. The fever had taken away all her strength. Just by lying here, I could feel the scorching temperature radiating from her body.
"Kudo, I hope you can solve this problem quickly." Looking at Conan who was already busy outside, I was not in a good mood. After confirming that the previous stalker was the FBI, I was afraid of being targeted by them here. Because from the beginning to the end, I didn't know whether the person they were targeting was me or Shiho.
If my identity is confirmed, then I will most likely be greeted by a large number of FBI. In their eyes, my existence is an absolute intelligence group, and Shiho is the weak point of my intelligence group. If I mobilize the power of Alcatraz to resist at this time, then the organization will seize the opportunity. Once exposed, my whole family may be implicated, and no one can escape.
I also thought about whether I should take Shiho away before the police come. But after thinking about it, I gave up this plan. Not to mention the time-consuming charging system in the basement of the department store, even if I can hide from the police now, I can hide, but Conan may not be able to hide.
It was simple. Conan was photographed. If what Conan said was true, the FBI might have caught Conan's whereabouts. Even worse, they might have someone lying in ambush outside. If I leave now, it will only attract more attention. I might be discovered directly, and then be implicated in the doctor's home. I can't afford to take such a risk when the target is not clear.
All he could hope for now was to solve the case as quickly as possible and then escape without anyone noticing. He could even borrow a police car to leave, which would greatly increase his safety margin.
I thought so, but it's not so easy to do. In fact, every minute I'm here is like sitting on pins and needles. Shiho's heavy breathing is right beside my ears, and I can even feel that when Shiho opens her eyes, her eyes are a little unfocused, which is obviously a state of unconsciousness.
I put my hand on her forehead, and the burning temperature seemed to be much higher than before. However, I could not do anything at this time.
"Damn, besides the bandages and hemostatics, I should have prepared some common household medicines for myself." He stretched out his hand and pulled his necklace, but unfortunately there was no antipyretic or anti-inflammatory medicine in it. After all, these things were prepared by Jingliu at the time, and I only prepared emergency medicines for myself. At this moment, the universal necklace was useless.
Less than five minutes later, the police car arrived. After all, it was a department store, so the police arrived very quickly. We were glad that we didn't leave immediately, otherwise we might have been stopped at the door.
"Xiaoxun, how is Ai-kun?" The doctor asked me from outside the car. At this time, the police were all over the basement, and the main suspects and people related to the deceased were gathering outside. Conan had already started to investigate everywhere, and when he didn't know what to do, the doctor chose to come over to see our situation.
"Not very good." I frowned. "Since just now, Shiho has been unable to hear what I say. I say she is asleep, but I think it is more accurate to describe her as unconscious in this case."
"This won't do. We have to take Ai-jun to see a doctor as soon as possible."
"The problem is that this bastard has no choice but to die now!" Looking at the owners of the four Porsches opposite, I couldn't help but direct my anger towards them.
"People who drive a Porsche 356A are no good! Stay away from me!"
"Ahaha..." The doctor could only smile bitterly at my complaint. "But can't we go upstairs and take Aijun to see the doctor now?"
"Isn't there a camera playing a TV program near the clinic upstairs?" I sighed. "If I or Shiho are unfortunately filmed, there might be more people coming." That's the truth. If Conan is an accessory, then once Shiho and I appear on camera, there might be more than just the FBI. Even if I have a mutated hair color as a protective color, Shiho, Vermouth, and Ling when they were young will definitely recognize me at a glance. This kind of adventure is much more risky than sneaking away.
"But are we just going to sit here like this?"
"There's nothing we can do. Now we can only pray that Kudo can solve the case quickly." As I spoke, I cast my gaze towards Conan, who was still listening to the testimonies of several people. As if sensing something, Conan also glanced in our direction, and then ran over quickly.
"What's wrong?" Conan asked.
"It's okay. How are you doing over there?" I shook my head.
"I've listened to the testimony, but it's not very useful." Conan also shook his head. "I've already told Inspector Megure to go to the monitoring room first. How is Haibara?"
"The fever is getting worse." I said in a slightly heavy voice.
"If that doesn't work, I'll call Officer Takagi and have him pick up Huiyuan and leave first. This way, we won't be caught secretly..."
"Who are you going to pick up?" A female voice suddenly approached, scaring Conan. When I saw who was coming, I subconsciously used my clothes to cover Shiho beside me.
"Haha, long time no see, CoolKid, GlodKid~"
