"What's wrong, Shade?" Seeing that Hoshikawa Hui, who was walking in front, suddenly paused, Akemi Miyano approached strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Hoshikawa Teru to react, Noah, who was standing beside them, first showed an anxious look, and then the figure disappeared directly out of thin air.

Hoshikawa Teru raised his head, the expression on his face had become shocked and flustered.

Akemi Miyano, who came to his hand, saw the content on his screen, her expression froze, and she immediately became nervous.

"What do you mean, 'I may lose my memory temporarily the next day, don't worry', how can you not worry!" Akemi Miyano's eyebrows were upside down, and she ran in the direction of the vehicle, "He should still be near the church, ...... quickly"

"Calm down!" One by one, he grabbed his teammates who were sprinting forward, and Asai Narumi looked serious, "Don't be impulsive!" If the leader really has amnesia, we can't stop acting, and we shouldn't even take the initiative to communicate with him! ”

"But ......"

"In his amnesia state, if we use the power of the mask, his joker form will be immediately exposed to everyone's eyes......" Asai Narumi frowned and shook his head, "It is precisely because he doesn't remember anything at this moment that we have to continue to move." That way, no one will associate the Monster Thief of the Heart with him. ”

Hearing his cold voice, Akemi Miyano and Teru Hoshikawa stopped, glanced at each other, and gritted their teeth.

I have to admit that what Asai Narumi said is very reasonable, they are already sensitive, and if they contact Tang Ze directly, it is likely to arouse greater suspicion.

"Ark has already gone to check, wait for news from him...... The leader can also send us a notification message, which may also be part of his plan, and rash actions can affect his plan. If we make sure he has no other problems, we can secretly watch over him and make sure he doesn't have an accident in this state. "Without him in command, we have to be on guard and be careful." ”

Taking a deep breath, the two people who controlled their emotions reluctantly nodded and stood still, waiting for Noah, who was checking the situation, to return.

After half a minute of tormented silence, Noah's silver-white robot body reappeared before them.

"Leader, something really seems to be wrong." Noah, whose face was wrinkled, said distressedly, "When I passed, he was carried into the ambulance......"

"Which hospital did you send to?" Thinking of something, Akemi Miyano's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.

As she expected, Noah uttered the fateful name.

"Rice Flower Yakushino Hospital." Noah, who was paying attention to the trajectory of the signal on Tang Ze's side, replied decisively.

"Officer Sato......"

"Ah, here you are." Miwako Sato, who was wearing a blanket over her shoulders and looking at the paper cup in her hand, raised her head slowly and looked at the group of people walking down the corridor.

"How's it going?" The leading Maori Kogoro frowned, "Xiaolan, and that kid Tang Ze, how is it?" ”

Because of the shooting at the scene and the appearance of two unconscious wounded, Chief Odakiri, the highest-ranking officer at the scene, immediately asked the police officers to block all entrances and exits in time and conduct smoke tests on all those who showed up at the party, including the officers themselves.

So the only person who came to the hospital with the car was Miwako Sato, the last witness at the scene at the time of the shooting, and when the others were able to leave the scene and come to the hospital, more than an hour had passed since the incident.

"None of them have any external injuries, they just haven't woken up yet." Regaining her composure, Miwako Sato took a breath and led them to the ward in the rear, "The doctors asked me to do another examination...... Thanks to Tang Zejun's assistance, I was not harmed in any way. ”

"Is it okay, Sato? If the pressure is too much, go and take a break first. The Twilight Police Department looked at the slightly pale face of his right-hand subordinate, and tried to suggest.

"No, you don't." Shaking his head firmly, Sato looked ahead, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and the paper cup in his hand was deformed, "It's just that I, as a police officer, have to rely on a child to save me, and even affect innocent people...... Sorry, I should have been a little more cautious. ”

Already aware of the connection between the prisoner and the case of Ninoho, it is almost a certainty that she will be the next target of the gunman.

If only she could be a little more cautious and not let her guard down because the chaos of the wedding had passed......

"Don't blame yourself, it's the fault of the offender, not yours." Patting her on the shoulder in relief, Twilight Thirteen walked alongside her, saying as she walked, "So far, the on-site testing results have not found any smoke reaction, and the gunman may have fled before we sealed off the venue." What exactly was the situation at that time, do you have many memories of the characteristics of the murderer? ”

"As I told you before, Xiaolan and I came out of the bathroom, Tang Zejun was in the men's toilet opposite, the murderer approached from the direction of the corridor, he was taller, wearing a black raincoat, holding a 9mm automatic pistol in his left hand, installing a silencer, wearing a mask, I couldn't see more features......

"In order to stop him from committing murder, Tang Zejun directly tried to snatch the firearm from him, he may see it more clearly, and he can ask him when he wakes up." Thinking of Tang Zeyi's action of rushing towards the muzzle of the gun without hesitation and smashing the gunman's arm, Miwako Sato couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If it weren't for Tang Zejun's instant decision and attacking the other party without hesitation...... I guess I'm going to get hurt at the very least. ”

Hearing her words, Suzuki Sonoko took a small breath and clenched the handbag in her hand, as if she had imagined the critical situation at the scene.

"Pounce directly on the pistol......" Maori Kogoro slapped his head helplessly, "Karasawa this kid ......"

"He's always been that kind of person, Tang Zejun." Miwako Sato took a deep breath, "Obviously, everything has already happened to such a bad thing because of righteousness and bravery......"

"Sato!" Twilight's brow twitched, stopping her from speaking.

Although people who know Tang Ze generally think that his case is boring...... But after all, it was a matter for the police in Kyoto, and it involved the more complicated prosecutor's office, so they couldn't say much.

"But it's true." Miwako Sato frowned and said firmly, "Subconsciously helping others, regardless of his own safety, it's not the first time Tang Zejun has done this, right?" I believe he is a really good boy. ”

"You......" Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Twilight Thirteen shook her head helplessly, and motioned Shiratori and the others to step forward with her eyes to ease Miwako Sato's emotions, while she slowed down a little, level with Maori Kogoro, looking at the bright and tidy ward in front of her, and sighed in her heart.

For Sato, watching others face danger in order to protect herself was the last thing she wanted to face.

Let's hope those two kids are okay......

"Little Orchid......"

"Lan, are you awake, are you okay?"

After another dozens of minutes, Maolilan finally woke up.

With the support of Concubine Yingli and Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, squinted her eyes half-squinted, as if she couldn't see the things around her clearly, and she was stunned.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Xiaolan," called Maolilan's name repeatedly, Conan squeezed his slightly sweaty palms, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

When they and the police officers at the scene followed the sound to the scene, they could only see Tang Ze, who was lying on the ground motionless, and Mao Lilan, who was unconscious in the arms of Miwako Sato.

The sharp stinging pain that had come true swept through his whole body in an instant.

even got in a Tang Ze who promised to help him take care of Xiaolan......

Conan's gaze swept over the figure on the other hospital bed, who had not yet woken up, and was helpless for a while.

How did two guys who were excellent in physical skills get brought down by a prisoner......

"Huh?" As if finally hearing their cries, the extremely unresponsive Maolilan blinked, and his ignorant gaze turned to Conan, who called her repeatedly, "Who are you, little brother?" ”

“…… Xiaolan! Suzuki Sonoko's hand, which was holding her arm, trembled and shook her hand slightly, "You, what's wrong?" ”

"'Lan'...... Are you calling me? Shaking his head and shaking off the hazy fog in front of him, Mao Lilan raised his hand and pressed his temple, which was a little swollen, "Who are you?" ”

Everyone who walked into the ward was stunned, looking at Mao Lilan, who was looking at them with a puzzled look on the stranger, and didn't know where to start for a while.

"Hmm......"

On the other side of the curtain, there was a sound of cloth rustling, and Tang Ze, who was also temporarily carried into the intensive care ward to observe the situation, held on to the handrail of the hospital bed and slowly sat up.

"Tang Ze, are you okay? What happened today, Xiaolan ...... "Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing between the two beds, quickly turned around and eagerly grabbed Tang Ze, who was frowning and taking a deep breath, wanting to get an answer that could calm his emotions a little.

Then the hand she stretched out was directly avoided by Tang Ze.

"How did you know my name?" Slightly vigilantly pulling the quilt on his body, Tang Ze looked at the people standing in the full ward, frowned, and moved back uncomfortably, "You, who are you?" ”

————

"Huh? Tang Ze was attacked at a wedding? And temporarily lost his memory? Shocked, repeating what was on the other side, Amuro reached out and smoothed his bangs, and instinctively asked, "Are you sure he's not acting?" ”

“…… Mr. Shibuyani, I wouldn't dare call you without verifying this. Standing secretly on the other side of the corridor of the ward, Kazami Yuya helplessly lowered his voice and replied, "Either he really has amnesia, or he acts too similarly, we can't tell the difference at all." Either way, you'll need to come and see for yourself. ”

"Sorry, didn't mean to question your ability to work. It's just ......" Amuro, who had a headache, pressed his temples and reasoned with facts, "Tang Ze's ability to deal with attacks in actual combat is very strong, even if I am stronger than him in physical skills, it is almost impossible to subdue him in a short time...... He will be attacked by Kyosuke Kazeto successfully, do you believe it yourself? ”

"I also found it hard to believe, but the cardiologists all gave a diagnosis of degenerative memory impairment...... Is this really done by sheer acting skills? Kazami replied hesitantly, "The same situation happened to Moriran, who was attacked with him. Maybe Kyosuke Kazado used some special drugs or methods, and Tang Ze might have been tricked. ”

Regarding Kazami Yuya's speculation, Amuro shook his head disapprovingly.

Hit? With the same level of vigilance that Karasawa has for Kyosuke Kazeto, will he be defenseless against Kyosuke Kazeto?

However, if you really lose your memory......

Thinking of Tang Ze's complicated matryoshka doll-like identity, Amuro couldn't help but speed up his action of untying his apron.

You have to go there as soon as possible to check the situation.

"I always have a feeling that this kid is probably having some kind of little ninety-nine, hiding what plans we have and making small moves." Toru Amuro, who shook his head helplessly, quickly changed into his regular clothes and prepared to skip work, but he still couldn't help but ask with concern, "He doesn't remember anything?" Remember your name and identity? ”

"Yes." The bugging device that was previously installed at Kyosuke Kazeto played an unexpected role, and Yuya Kazami, who had listened to the diagnosis in its entirety, replied, "He remembers his name and his past experiences...... He just lost the memory of the months when he was framed and transferred to Tokyo. ”

————

"What is the capital of the United States?"

"Washington."

"How much is 5 times 8?"

“40……”

"What's wrong with her?" Instead of continuing to lie on the bed, like Conan and the others, Tang Ze, who found a chair with a back in the hospital bed, pushed the elementary school student next to him with his knee, "If you do this kind of test...... Is she amnesia? ”

Conan, who was nervously staring at Kyosuke Kazeto for a general knowledge test, was shaken by his surprise and shook his head, and after stabilizing his figure, he turned his head and looked at him speechlessly.

"That's what you said, you yourself have amnesia, okay?" Replied angrily, Conan helplessly looked at Mao Lilan, who took the paper handed over by Kyosuke Kazeto and carefully read the text on it, "It's just not as serious as her." ”

"yes, didn't you tell me? I lost the memory of leaving Kyoto and coming to Tokyo to go to school. Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Tang Ze pouted, "Although losing your memory is also a terrible thing...... But if it's only a few months, the impact shouldn't be big, right? ”

"How can it not be ......" Suzuki Yuanzi, who clenched his fists and leaned against the wall, raised his head angrily, with a thin layer of tears in his eyes, looking like he was about to cry, "Xiaolan can't even recognize her parents, and so are you, forgetting all of us!" ”

Trembling and clenching the small leather bag in his hand, Suzuki Sonoko almost couldn't control her tears.

How could this be, just a trip to the bathroom, just a few minutes of work......

It's all her fault, she shouldn't have let Xiaolan go alone, there are so many people at this wedding, the situation is so complicated, how can she let Xiaolan go alone.

Biting her lip for fear of further emotional collapse, Sonoko Suzuki struggled to suppress her tears.

Being snatched by her emotionally, Tang Ze was stunned, turned his head to observe her for a moment, and a smile was evoked in Suzuki Sonoko's teary-eyed surprised gaze.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just said it so casually, didn't it upset you?" Tang Ze tilted his head, slowed down his tone, and replied softly, "It's going to be so sad, it seems that you and I have been quite familiar with each other in the past few months, and we have a good relationship...... I don't mean to take these relationships lightly. ”

“…… You ......" The upwelling emotions were interrupted by Tang Ze's words, and Suzuki Sonoko, who didn't feel so strong about crying, blinked her eyes, and looked a little speechless.

"After I woke up, I was suddenly surrounded by so many people and asked for warmth, I was quite happy." Tang Ze bent his eyes, "I've lived in Kyoto for a long time, but I haven't had any friends...... I didn't expect to come to Tokyo for a few days, but I met a lot of good people. ”

Conan, who had always focused on Mao Lilan's side, couldn't help but look sideways at Tang Ze when he heard his words.

Although, before the accident, Tang Ze's personality was not much different from now, which was a bit unexpected - he thought that before he was harmed by the organization, Tang Ze would be a more cheerful or softer type - but listening to him talk like this, there was an inexplicable sense of peace of mind that "it was really Tang Ze".

"If I can become good friends in such a short period of time, even if I forget all of them, it will just be another acquaintance, right?" Tilting his head, Tang Ze showed a familiar and friendly smile, "Can you tell me your name again?" ”

"You're really talkative, you guy." Seeing his few words stopped Suzuki Sonoko's imminent burst of crying, the corners of Conan's mouth and eyebrows twitched twice, "If you are like Sister Xiaolan, you even forget your own name, I am really curious." ”

“…… My name is Sonoko Suzuki. Seeing Tang Ze's smiling eyes, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly wiped his moist eyes and turned his back in disguise, "Really, do it again, you still have a better relationship with this little ghost." ”

"Well, this little friend?" Turning his head to look at Conan, who was sitting on the chair next to him, his feet couldn't reach the ground, Tang Ze thought for a few seconds and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know either, maybe it's because he gives me a feeling of being a peer?" It's not like a child. ”

Under Tang Ze's penetrating gaze, Conan shrunk his neck and looked strangely at Tang Ze, who didn't look like he was joking.

…… Is this even so keenly acute? Is it really amnesia, Tang Ze, this guy.

"Yes, yes, elementary school student Tang Ze." Sonoko Suzuki shook her head, wiped her face embarrassedly, and walked to the drink table on the other side of the ward, "The intensive care ward here is well cleaned up." Tea or coffee? ”

"Coffee." Tang Ze and Conan replied in unison.

Is it really okay for elementary school students to drink coffee? Strangely looking down at Conan twice, seeing that the others didn't react, Tang Ze thought about it, raised a finger, and added.

"Four sugar cubes, thank you."
