Monday, January 19, afternoon, first floor of Rice Flower Hospital.

After the four detectives came out of the Maori room, Conan felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he asked the three of them to go to the front desk nurse to ask where to borrow a wheelchair, and went to the bathroom on the first floor by himself.

As he solves the problem, Conan hears the voices of the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi, as well as the sound of using a faucet, which sounds like he is washing his face.

Officer Takagi said, "The tire pattern of the car used by the robbers is exactly the same as the tire pattern that Mr. Akabane was driving at the time of the accident, so it can be said that it is a car." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "How many people can sit?"

"Depending on the size of the model, there were four people in it at that time, that is, there were four bank robbers. Officer Takagi said, "I think the bandit organization may have thought that Mr. Akabane had been killed in the accident, so they dumped him on the side of the road." Then he laughed, "Coincidentally, Mr. Akabane is now in the same ward as Mr. Mori. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "What's the matter, Maori is hospitalized again?"

"Yes, I came in yesterday afternoon, but rest assured, Mr. Maori is fine, just a recurrence of an old injury. Officer Takagi smiled, "I heard that I accidentally fell from the third floor to the downstairs yesterday because I was in a hurry to listen to Miss Yoko Okino's concert." ”

"Well," the Twilight Police Department laughed, "and remember to send him a bouquet of flowers when you leave." ”

"Yes, I see. Officer Takagi laughed.

At this time, Conan heard the sound of the faucet being turned off.

The Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and when the hospital can evaluate Mr. Akabane's questioning, I'll notify me immediately." Also, be careful when you're staring here. ”

Officer Takagi said, "Yes, I will definitely look at Mr. Akabane and will not let him run away." ”

"Not only that, but you have to pay attention to everyone who comes into contact with Mr. Akabane. "We don't know how many people there are in this gang of robbers, and we can't rule out that there were accomplices who answered the accident that day, and we know that Mr. Akabane was not dead and was sent to this hospital." ”

"I see. Officer Takagi said, "Until now, even the hospital only knew that Mr. Akabane was an unknown victim of a car accident, and no one would visit him, except for his accomplices, no, they didn't visit Mr. Akabane, but killed him." ”

"So Takagi, you must keep an eye on it, protect Mr. Akabane, and don't let this person succeed. "And this accomplice who came to kill Mr. Akabane must be the backbone of this bandit gang, so we must catch him, and then we can quickly wipe out this bandit gang." ”

"Yes, I see. Officer Takagi said, "Only Mr. Yoshio Seguchi, Miss Lan, and Conan have been in the ward today. ”

At this time, Conan heard the sound of the door being opened, and the footsteps of several people going out, thinking that the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi and the others were gone, so he continued to concentrate on solving the problem. ……

After that, Conan went to the front desk to meet the three of Motota, went to borrow a wheelchair, and then found Yoshio Sekiguchi holding a cream puff gift box, walking in the hospital like a lost soul, so he left the three of them and followed with a football, and found him sitting down in the waiting area of the hall. ……

Rice Flower Hospital, Ward 503, Maori's Ward.

At about 3:40 p.m., Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi brought a wheelchair to Maori.

"You guys, that's slow. Maori complained.

"We're looking for Conan. Yuan Tai said.

"What's going on? What about the imps?" asked Maori.

"I don't know, it's gone in a blink of an eye. Mitsuhiko said.

"Forget it, little ghost," Maori said, "quick, get me to the hall." ”

Soon after, Mori is pushed in the hall by the detective corps and rams Conan with the sole of his right leg in a plaster cast and Conan's face.

"It hurts!" exclaimed Maori, "Conan, what are you doing? ”

Conan rubbed his face and said, "It's not started yet." ”

Ayumi said, "Really, Conan, if you don't pay attention, you'll be gone." ”

Conan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, suddenly my stomach is upset again, and I went to the bathroom again." ”

Maori shouted, "Hurry up and push me to watch TV, and if you're late, I'll settle the account on your head." ”

Conan said, "Yes, yes, I see." ”

Moments later, the four detectives pushed Maori to the TV in the hall.

Mori didn't care about other TV watchers, so he switched the channel to a TV station that would broadcast part of Yoko Okino's concert, and the result was an advertisement.

Conan said to the three detectives, "You go to the roof of the mall across the street and do me a favor." As he spoke, he bit his ears with the three of them.

After that, the detective group ran out of the hospital, and Conan ran to the waiting area with a soccer ball in his arms.

Yoshio Sekiguchi sat on a bench with a box of cream puffs on his lap, his gaze moving back and forth between the gift box and the roof of the building across the window.

Conan sat down two seats beside Yoshio Sekiguchi and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, did someone ask you to kill the patient in the innermost part of the ward? That cream puff snack gift box contains a murder weapon, right?"

"Y-How do you know?" Sekiguchi was taken aback.

"Don't look this way, they'll be suspicious. "It's forbidden to use wireless devices in the hospital, but the bald man who keeps staring at you keeps a walkie-talkie on him, so he wants to keep a close eye on your movements, right?" I saw you and your daughter enter this hospital, but she didn't go to the ward, you have been sitting here for ten minutes, every few moments you will look out of the window, and you will read the name of your daughter Xiaogong, I can also see from here that there is an aunt on the opposite roof who has been looking here with a telescope, your daughter must be on the roof of the shopping mall opposite being held hostage by them, right? And this cream puff gift box, your father has diabetes, and the most taboo thing is to eat sweets, this is what they gave you, right? You left the ward and said you were going back, but you stayed in the hospital with a gift box of snacks that wasn't for your father, so they must have put the murder weapon in the box, took your daughter hostage, and told you to go back to your father's room and kill the patient. ”

"I—I'm forced. "Yesterday, someone pretending to be a nurse here called me and said that my father missed my daughter very much and asked me to bring a small bow. However, when they came in, they took my daughter Xiaogong, told me to go into the ward to check on the situation, gave me sleeping pills for my father to eat, and just now gave me this gift box in the stairwell, asking me to kill the Akabane who happened to live in the same ward as my father. ”

"I think they'll kill you as soon as you kill Akabane. Conan said," These gangsters should be the bank robber group, they want to kill the accomplices in the hospital but dare not show up in person, just ran into you, and you are still a clerk of the bank, if you don't kill you in time after the fact, let you be arrested by the police, the police are also very likely to think that you are their internal response, according to the sleeping pills you gave your father, this just need to check the water cup in the ward to know, the police will think that your daughter was abducted just you made to clear the suspicion to show the police. And it is impossible for the police to know anything useful from you, so the police will consider you an incorrigible cunning diehard, so that you will be saddled with all the charges, and then the police will temporarily close the case and they will be safe. ”

"How, how can it be ......" Yoshio Sekiguchi's face turned white with fright.

"That's my conclusion from what I just heard from the officer in the bathroom. "Maybe they already know that the police have set up a manpower, so that's why they let you step on this trap." Then he asked, "When do they want you to do it?"

"I told them that Mr. Maori would come to the hall at four o'clock in the afternoon to watch TV, and they told me to go up and do it in ten minutes. Yoshio Sekiguchi said, then looked at the time, "Oh no, it's time now, I'm going up." ”

Conan glanced at the roof of the mall opposite, and found that the woman with the binoculars was still there, and then stepped forward with a football to take the gift box on Yoshio Sekiguchi's lap, "It's Cream Puff, uncle, give me a good one." ”

"What are you doing?" asked Yoshio Sekiguchi in surprise.

Conan opened the box and found that it was a gun, so he took it out, "Strange, there's a pistol in there." ”

A hospital guard next to him picked up Conan, "Little brother, you're not good at being naughty like this." "As he spoke, he wanted to grab the pistol.

It seems that this guard is also one of those robbers, and the news from the police leaked out from him, Conan turned the knob of the power shoe, and then let go of the football in his arms, kicked the football to the corner of the wall, kicked a "four corner", and the football bounced back and hit the guard in the face.

The guard fell, Conan fell to the ground, kicked the ball in front of him, and hit the bald man in the face again.

The movement of the bald man falling to the ground attracted onlookers, and Conan laughed dryly: "These two uncles accidentally stepped on my football." Then I found a man running out of the crowd of onlookers in a panic, and at the same time took out a walkie-talkie, and immediately picked up a football and chased after him.

The man shouted into the intercom as he ran, "Hey, take that imp hostage...... but before he could finish speaking, he was knocked down by the football that Conan had kicked past.

Conan quickly turned up his voice-changing bow tie to the frequency of the man's voice, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Bastard, look at the entrance of the hospital." At the same time, he turned the knob of the power shoe to the maximum and raised his foot at the soccer ball in front of him, which flew into the sky and hit the face of the woman who was standing next to the mall opposite, looking here with a telescope.

"Whew. Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yoshio Sekiguchi, who chased him out, asked in surprise, "Y-Who are you?"

"Conan Edogawa is a detective. Conan laughed, and continued, "I did it all according to Uncle Maori's instructions. ”

"It turned out to be a Maori detective. Sekiguchi said, then asked, "And now?"

"Go find your daughter. Conan laughed.

Soon after, Conan and Yoshio Sekiguchi met the three Motota who came out of the elevator in front of the elevator on the first floor of the mall, and a little girl.

"Little bow. Yoshio Sekiguchi rushed forward and hugged the little girl.

"Now feel at ease, go and inform the police. Conan laughed, "You must have met Officer Takagi." ”

"Yes, I'll go right away. Yoshio Sekiguchi walked away with the little bow.

Conan said to the three of them, "I said you, this is too slow. ”

Ayumi said, "We were waiting for Motota, and he suddenly had an upset stomach and went to the bathroom. ”

Yuan Tai said: "We have already told the aunt that you have explained, 'The plan failed, contact me later if there is something, and immediately put the little ghost down and leave'." ”

"But she had been knocked down by a soccer ball that flew out of nowhere. Mitsuhiko asked, "It's okay, right?"

"No, no. Conan felt a toothache.

Motota said, "Okay, let's go play football." ”

"Uh," Conan thought of the football now on the rooftop, "you wait for me." As he spoke, he got on the elevator up. ……

On the other side, the first floor of the Rice Flower Hospital.

Ran immediately heard Maori's voice when he came in, and "Miss Yoko......" then saw Maori standing on one leg in front of the TV with his left leg, dancing without any image, and his face immediately turned red.

Lan walked behind Maori, stood for a moment, and yelled at Maori, who was unaware, "Daddy!"

"Ahh Then he noticed that his left ankle was swollen and hurriedly shouted, "Lan, my left foot is twisted, go and call the doctor, Lan." ”

"I don't care about you. Lan said this, but he helped Maori out of his wheelchair and pushed him into the emergency room. ……

When Officer Takagi receives a report from Yoshio Sekiguchi, he immediately notifies the Twilight Police Department, and then finds the four men in the emergency room of the hospital, and at the same time meets Mori.

"Maori Detective, thank you so much. Yoshio Sekiguchi said gratefully.

"Huh?" Maori blinked.

Officer Takagi smiled, "Yes, Detective Maori, thank you for arranging for Conan to help catch these bank robbers." ”

"Oh, this, it's nothing, it's nothing. Maori hurriedly said, and at the same time thought to himself, have I made any arrangements? Forget it, no matter how much, in short, this bonus is in hand. I'm so awesome that I've made a lot of money before I know it. ……
