The next morning, after the scheduled MRI.

"What, you're going?" Mori Kogoro frowned and looked at Conan. "You want to go out for a walk with Xiaolan?"

"Let him go, this is the hospital, there is someone who can help Xiaolan watch the way, just don't get lost." Fei Yingli didn't care. "And didn't he also say that the children are coming, of course it is better for him and Qianyu to go."

"Cut!" Kogoro Mori glared at Conan rather unhappily and waved his hand. "Okay, okay, Xiaolan made a little mistake, so let's pick up my own skin and come back."

……

About fifteen minutes later, on a circular trail on the landscape meadow next to Yakushino Hospital.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to come and see me," with a little apology, Xiaolan, who was sitting on the bench, smiled bitterly and looked at Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Motota in front of her. "But I'm sorry, I don't remember anyone anymore, and I can't respond to you, I'm sorry I may have disappointed you."

The moment she said this, Qian Yu bit her lip. And beside him, Conan's body trembled, and every muscle in his face twitched slightly.

[Lan, you silly girl, even if you have amnesia, are you still apologizing for not being able to respond to other people's greetings because of this...... Obviously you are the victim, but until now you are still ...... to others]

As Conan pursed her lips and stared at the children, who had no impression of her at all, and Ran, who had come with Dr. Asasa who had come with her, smiling at her, Chiba suddenly broke the silence. "Sometimes I really doubt ......"

"Huh?" Conan turned to Chiba, waiting for what he hadn't finished.

"I sometimes really wonder if you were canonized in your last life, which is why God brought her to you as a reward." Looking at Xiaolan with a smile that was a little hollow, but was filled in by the kindness to the children, Qianyu sighed. "Really...... How blessed were you in your last life? ”

"What's the point of saying that now," Conan said with a wry smile. "If I can get her back to memory, even if I ......"

As they whispered here, they heard a faint murmur from Maolilan, but they heard it clearly.

"Kudo ......" Mao Lilan seemed to be thinking about something, and even his limbs, which were originally a little restrained by seeing strangers, stretched. Shinichi? Shinichi Kudo? ”

“！？” Qian Yu was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his gaze back to Conan from Xiaolan.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you still remember Brother Shinichi?" Conan's expression was surprised and delighted, and he asked rather excitedly.

"No, I don't remember," Maoriran shook his head after thinking about it carefully. "It's just...... I think the name is very special. ”

“…… Okay," Conan sighed and nodded after hope turned into disappointment. "It's okay, Sister Xiaolan, you must be able to think of it."

"Otherwise, how about we go back to my hospital room and talk slowly?" Mao Lilan suddenly proposed. "I'm sorry, but ...... Looks like I probably didn't have a good rest. ”

"Then Sister Xiaolan, wait a minute, I'll borrow a wheelchair?" With that, Conan was about to turn around and go to the outpatient building, but he was immediately stopped by Xiaolan.

"It's okay, those wheelchairs are still reserved for the elderly or people with limited mobility," said Xiaolan, holding on to the back of the bench and standing up. "I'm a little tired, but at least I'm walking back—ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, the hand she was propping up on the bench suddenly lost its strength, causing her to fall to the side before she could stand still.

"Be careful!" Chiba reacted the fastest, but it was already too late for him to be in his position.

And although Conan beside him did not react as well as Qianyu, he had time - almost without any hesitation, when Qianyu had just given up the plan to rush forward, Conan had already pounced, and used the most direct way to avoid the danger of Xiaolan falling and hitting her head on the bench.

Although he didn't have time to hold Xiaolan, he still had time to pounce there and use his body as a mat to protect Xiaolan from the impact.

……

"Ahem!" Holding the soda can, Conan's body was obviously still a little unwell, and after inhaling a little more impatiently, he began to cough again.

"I'm sorry," Ran looked at Conan reproachfully as she was half-lying on the hospital bed. "It's all my fault for being able to ......"

"It's not your fault, it was just an accident," Kogoro Mori whispered as he comforted his daughter. "Don't worry, that kid is in good health, and he will definitely be fine after a little rest."

Just as Ran was still looking at Conan with some worried eyes, Dr. Kyosuke Kado, who was in charge of her treatment, walked in.

"How's it going, has there been any progress in the recovery of memories?" Kyosuke Kazato looked at Kogoro Mori and nodded after receiving a negative answer from the other party. "It's okay, this kind of thing can be done gradually, don't rush it...... Oh yes, I'm here because the MRI results are out, and the two family members come with me? ”

……

"At present, it seems that Ling Yan's brain has no significant abnormalities, and it seems that the amnesia should have nothing to do with the previously inferred pathological injury, and it should be considered to be the amnesia caused by the self-protection mechanism after encountering mental stimulation at the scene - it is like the patient saw something terrible outside the door, so he returned to the house, and blocked the door, not wanting to go out."

"In other words, as long as we bring Xiaolan back to the scene, we can stimulate her brain, and maybe we can restore her memory?" Kogoro Mori was pleasantly surprised.

"What are you talking about?" Fei Yingli frowned and interrupted Mori Kogoro. "That's your own daughter, and you're going to let her recall those horrible experiences so simply and rudely? As long as we can get us and those ordinary memories back, I'm all for not reminding her of what happened in the toilet that day! ”

"But if you're like you, what if Xiaolan never recovers her memory, do you want her to start over again for the rest of her life?" Mori Kogoro obviously didn't expect Fei Yingli to oppose his opinion.

"I'm just against taking an extreme approach like yours that may cause a second trauma to Xiaolan!" Fei Yingli softened her tone slightly, but she didn't mean to back down at all.

"Calm down," Kyosuke Kazato sighed, stopping the argument between the two. "Personally, I'm actually inclined to my mother's opinion - you should also know that the brain is a very fragile thing, and if you suddenly use such a rough way to forcibly recall, it is likely to cause serious psychological trauma to the patient, and even if you recover part of your memory, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses. In fact, I think that if the patient is given enough time, it is possible for her to recover some or even all of her memories at any time. Don't put too much pressure on her, miracles can happen at any time – and even if you can, try to live a normal life, or even go to school normally. ”

"You mean that Xiaolan can be discharged from the hospital quickly and doesn't need to be treated here all the time?" Fei Yingli was pleasantly surprised—she obviously didn't want her daughter to stay in the hospital all the time.

"Of course she can go home and live," Kyosuke Kazato nodded with a smile. "There's not much we can do in this situation, so it's actually a saving for you to save time and money for her to go home and recuperate, and it's a better way for us to do it."
