Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Chance Encounter in the Hospital
"Chiba! I'll go to the hospital with you later, Conan had a cold in her sleep last night, so I'll take her to see her. ”
At dinner in the morning, Kiko said to Fujiwara Chiba.
"Okay, then let's finish the meal quickly! Otherwise, you will have to queue up to register if you go late. ”
When Fujiwara Chiba thought of the long queue that could be in place at the hospital every day, he couldn't help but speed up the action of eating in his hands.
After breakfast, Fujiwara Chiba sat in the driver's seat of the car, waiting for Arikiko and Conan.
After waiting for a long time, Yukiko walked out of the Maori detective agency with Conan, who was sneezing from time to time.
"Let's go! Hopefully, there aren't a lot of people in the hospital right now. ”
After Kiko and Conan sat down in the back seats, Kiko said to Chiba Fujiwara, who was acting as the driver, while arranging Conan's clothes.
"At this point in time, there is not much more."
"How could Conan catch a cold in the summer? Is the air conditioner turned on too much at night? ”
After starting the car, Fujiwara Chiba asked puzzled.
"Sort of! The kid didn't know what she was thinking at night, and Shizuka said that when she got up in the early hours of last night to go to the bathroom, the light in Conan's room was still on. ”
"When I called her to eat in the morning, the air conditioner in the bedroom was not turned off all night, and the child slept without a quilt, and it turned out like this."
"Ahh
As soon as Yukiko finished explaining, Conan couldn't help but sneeze again.
Looking at Conan, who was in a very bad mental state, Fujiwara Chiba couldn't help but think of the plot in Conan, and I didn't know if it was this cold today.
There seems to be an episode in the plot that because of Conan's cold, Hattori Heiji from Osaka encouraged the unwitting Conan to drink a little liquor, and then Kudo Shinichi returned.
Although the restoration of Kudo Shinichi was not long, it still gave Conan hope that he could recover in the future.
Fujiwara Chiba drove the car and soon came to the Rice Flower Central Hospital.
Because Yukiko had to take care of Conan, the task of queuing up for registration was handed over to Fujiwara Chiba.
When the three of Fujiwara Chiba walked into the hospital lobby, they were relieved to see that there were few people lining up.
Fujiwara Chiba asked Yukiko to take Conan to the pediatrician to sit first, and he went to find her after taking the number.
After Arikiko took Conan to the pediatric floor, Fujiwara Chiba walked to a line with the fewest queues.
"Hey, do the people in front of you look like the protagonists of the Valentine's Day chocolate killing, Toshihiko Minagawa's aunt or stepmother and his four-year-old son?"
When Fujiwara Chiba came to stand in the line, he saw the woman who was coaxing his son in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar Fujiwara Chiba became, and finally remembered who the beautiful woman was.
In the plot, in order to get the inheritance, Mrs. Minagawa poisoned her nephew's habit of not liking sweets.
At that time, when Fujiwara Chiba was watching this episode, he also had fantasies about Mrs. Minagawa, but he didn't expect to be so fateful today, so he met him.
According to the content of the plot, the reason for Mrs. Minagawa's murder seems to be that she is afraid that her grumpy nephew will kick their mother and son out of the house after getting the inheritance, so she planned a murder that was almost seamless.
What Mrs. Mikawa did, Fujiwara Chiba was not disgusted, after all, it was the footbasin chicken man who died, as long as it was not related to him, even if the footbasin chicken died, he would not sympathize.
The reason why Fujiwara Chiba has an image of Mrs. Minagawa is not how beautiful the other party is, but because the other party has the temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko.
The gentle and considerate, quiet and reserved, mature and steady character shown by the other party in the series attracted his attention.
In fact, having said so much, to sum it up in one sentence, that is, he Fujiwara Chiba's old problem has been committed again.
Just when Fujiwara Chiba recalled the plot about Mrs. Minagawa, Mrs. Minagawa found that the money in her wallet was missing when she had to pay the bill.
This can make her anxious, she has not received the inheritance, and the money on her body is the living expenses of her and her son, and the most important thing is that she came today to see a doctor for her son.
"Madam, if you don't have any money, go back and get it! Don't get in the way of the people behind you. ”
Seeing this situation, the nurse who charged the fee reminded Mrs. Minagawa and told her to get out of the way quickly and not delay her work.
Just as Mrs. Minagawa was about to leave the toll window with her son in despair, a voice sounded in her ears.
"Her expenses will be counted with mine! How much? ”
Chiba Fujiwara, who has thoughts about Mrs. Minagawa, will not let go of this opportunity to increase his favor.
"Sir, how embarrassing is this, or you can leave me a contact information, and I will return it to you later."
Mrs. Minagawa looked at Fujiwara Chiba's handsome face and said gratefully.
"Good! Madame will call me when she has time, and I will go to you when the time comes. ”
Fujiwara Chiba took out his mobile phone and exchanged numbers with the other party.
After Mrs. Mikawa thanked her repeatedly, she left with her son, and when she left, she promised Fujiwara Chiba that she would definitely pay back.
Fujiwara Chiba didn't care, the reason why he helped was that he didn't want the other party to pay back, he just wanted Mrs. Minagawa to pay in other ways.
The bait had already been launched, and he didn't know when he would be able to take the bait, so after Fujiwara Chiba paid the fees for the two of them, he asked the toll collector about the floor of the pediatric department.
When I came to the pediatric outpatient department on the second floor, after finding Arikiko and Conan, I handed over the bill to Arikiko.
Since there were not many people in the hospital at this point in time, Yukiko and Conan quickly got prescriptions and instructions from the doctor.
"What's going on, Conan's illness is fine!"
On the way home, Fujiwara Chiba asked pretending to be concerned.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a cold, and the doctor said it will be fine in a few days."
"Conan, remember to take your medicine on time when you go back, and don't blow the air conditioner all night at night, you know?"
After Kiko returned to Fujiwara Chiba's words, she instructed Conan.
"Hmmm! Got it. ”
Like frost beating an eggplant, Conan replied with no spirit.
"Jingle bell .....!"
At this time, Fujiwara Chiba's cell phone rang.
"Yukiko, help me pick it up"
Fujiwara Chiba, who was driving, was inconvenient to answer the phone, after all, you have to obey the traffic rules, and sometimes a small act can cause unexpected consequences.
Yukiko bent forward, took the phone from Fujiwara Chiba's hand, and glanced at the caller ID.
"Your mom called".
Yukiko reminded and pressed the answer button.
"Son! I'll go home and talk to you about something. ”
As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of Hanako Fujiwara came from the receiver.
"Hanako, it's me who has Kiko! Chiba is driving! ”
There is a skillful opening of the tongue by Kiko.
"Oh, it's Kiko! Then you can tell him about it, and I won't bother you, bye! ”
After Fujiwara Hanako confessed, she hung up the phone.
"Your mother told you to go home at noon, saying that she was looking for you for something."
Yukiko closed the phone and skillfully put it into Fujiwara Chiba's pocket.
Conan, who was groggy on the side, was a little puzzled after seeing the way his mother and Fujiwara Chiba got along, why did it seem that the relationship between the two was a little intimate.
"Well, I know, it shouldn't be a big deal, let's go after lunch!"
After Fujiwara Chiba replied, he concentrated on being the driver.
