Chapter 3334: Encounter at the Hospital

On the fourth floor of Aabido Central Hospital, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound.

The little boy standing in front of the elevator door pointed at the elevator door, looked back at his mother, and reminded energetically, "Mom, the elevator is here!"

"I know," the middle-aged woman smiled and walked forward. Seeing the little boy trying to squeeze into the elevator, she quickly reached out and held the little boy's shoulders to stop the little boy from pushing forward. "No, you have to wait for the people in the elevator. Come out first, and then people outside enter the elevator. This is the default rule for taking the elevator!”

Chi Feichi walked out of the elevator with Keshui Nanatsuki calmly on his face, suppressing the irritability rising in his heart and trying not to look at the mother and son beside him.

Takiguchi Kotaro was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the elevator by a sturdy male caregiver. He said to Chi Feichi and Koshimi Nanatsuki with some embarrassment, "Actually, I can just get the report myself..."

"It doesn't matter. We have to go to the first floor anyway. Why don't we accompany you to the third floor first..." Chi Fei took two steps into the corridor to let those waiting outside the elevator enter the elevator. He suddenly noticed that something was wrong. There were three acquaintances standing in the distant corridor.

"Why 'zero'?"

Mouri Kogoro stood in the corridor, looked at Toru Amuro with a puzzled face and asked, "Isn't your name 'Toru'?"

Conan stood aside, frowning at Toru Amuro, and said nothing.

"Transparency means there is nothing, that is, 'zero'," Toru Amuro explained to Kogoro Mori with a smile, "Anyway, that was a nickname given to me when I was a child. Children's ideas of giving nicknames are probably so imaginative. ”

Koshizui Nanatsuki heard Toru Amuro's voice and noticed the three people standing in the corridor, "Huh?"

Chi Feichi looked back at the elevator that was about to close behind him. His eyes stayed on the mother and son in the elevator for a second. He quickly looked away and took the initiative to say hello to Maori Kogoro and the other three, "Teacher Maori, Amuro, Conan."

"Fei Chi?" Mouri Kogoro turned his head in surprise, "Why are you and Nanatsuki also here at the hospital?"

"I'm bringing Koshimizu to visit Mr. Takiguchi," Chi Feichi looked at Kotaro Takiguchi in the wheelchair and introduced, "This is Mr. Kotaro Takiguchi, the president of Takiguchi Metallurgical Industry. I plan to go to the United States this time. , because Mr. Takiguchi injured his foot and was unable to go to the United States. "

When Kotaro Takiguchi saw Mouri Kogoro focusing on him, he greeted him kindly, "You are the famous detective, Mr. Moori Kogoro, right? I have read a lot of news reports about you, and I also read I watched the TV show you recorded, and I didn’t expect to see the famous detective here today. It’s such an honor!”

"No, I just solved a few more cases than other detectives!" Mouri Kogoro smiled happily, and the pride in his tone made Conan speechless. However, he did not completely float away, and did not forget to send the business exchange Blowing, "Takiguchi Metallurgical Industry is a well-known large enterprise in Tokyo. I should be honored to meet President Takiguchi here today!"

"Since Mr. Takiguchi knows Mr. Mori, I won't introduce him much," Chi Feichi quickly introduced Toru Amuro to Kotaro Takiguchi without leaving much time for the two to compliment each other. "Currently, I am following Mr. Mori. To learn reasoning knowledge, this is another disciple of Teacher Mouri, Toru Amuro, who is also my junior brother. "

"I'm Amuro," Toru Amuro greeted with a smile, "Nice to meet you!"

Kotaro Takiguchi looked at the sunny and magnanimous smile on Toru Amuro's face. He had a very good first impression of Toru Amuro. He responded with a polite smile, "I am also very happy to meet the famous detective's apprentice!"

Conan waited for a group of people to finish greeting each other, and then asked in confusion, "Brother Chi, Mr. Takiguchi's foot is sprained. He should live on the floor where the surgery is located, right? Why did you come together to the fourth floor where the internal medicine department is? Come?"

"Conan is here too," Kotaro Takiguchi had seen Conan's cleverness and did not fool Conan into thinking he was an ordinary child. He explained with a smile, "After I was admitted to the hospital, I had a full body examination here, but the report was never available. Send it to my ward. I want to go to the garden outside to get some air, so I stopped by the fourth floor to pick up the inspection report."

"Mr. Ike and I took the elevator down with Mr. Takiguchi. We originally wanted to send Mr. Takiguchi to the third floor and then go back. I didn't expect to meet you here..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the three of Mouri and Kogoro. , "Speaking of which, why are Mr. Mori, Mr. Amuro, and Conan all here? Is anyone sick?"

"It's Eri," Mouri Kogoro said with a hint of speechlessness on his face, "But you don't have to worry, she just had an appendicitis attack and had to go to the hospital for an appendectomy. The operation has been over for several hours now, and her She seems to be in good spirits, and she should be fine if she rests in the hospital for a while!”

"No wonder Xiaolan is not with you. I saw you all here just now, but I didn't see Xiaolan. I was still worried about whether she was sick." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the ward doors on both sides of the corridor. , then asked, "Is Xiaolan accompanying the lawyer in the ward now?"

"Yes," Mouri Kogoro turned to look at the corridor behind him, "Eri is in Ward 3 over there, and Xiaolan is talking to her inside. Do you want to go see her?"

Koshizui Nanatsuki hesitated, "People who have just undergone surgery need to rest quietly. If we go to see the concubine's lawyer now, will it disturb her rest?"

"Furthermore, people who have just had surgery have difficulty moving around, and it is difficult to keep their hair or clothes tidy," Toru Amuro touched her chin with her right hand, thinking, "Women probably don't want to be seen by too many people with their haggard look and messy hair. Did you see it? It doesn’t matter if it is seen by the daughter and the husband, but if it is seen by the husband’s apprentice or the daughter’s good friend, women who usually care about their own image will feel embarrassed, so I don’t think it’s time to visit the concubine. Good time to be a lawyer…”

Chi Feichi had already guessed which plot this was, and just wanted to confirm it, so he asked, "Aren't you here to visit Master's wife?"

"Ah... no," Toru Amuro laughed, put down her right hand, and explained, "I came to the hospital to find someone, but I happened to see Teacher Mori and Conan in the corridor, so I stood here chatting with them. Get up! Speaking of which, I only met the teacher and Conan two minutes before you did!"

"So that's it." Chi Feichi nodded.

Sure enough, it was the plot of the hospital tea party...

"Mr. Amuro, you said you came to the hospital to see someone, are you here to visit a friend?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked curiously in a low voice, "Or are you investigating some commission?"

"It's not a commission, it should be considered a friend. The other party borrowed a large amount of money from me and then lost contact. I heard that the other party was admitted to this hospital not long ago, so I came to look for it," Toru Amuro explained. He looked at Chi Feichi with a harmless expression, "By the way, consultant, do you know that person? His name is Kusuda Rikudo..."

The consultant deliberately released smoke bombs for Subaru Okiya before, so that Subaru Okiya was not sure whether he and the consultant were allies. He felt that what the consultant said afterwards was right. If they wanted to gain an advantage in the game, they should try their best to find out. The cards in the opponent's hand should also be used to prevent the cards in one's own hand from being discovered by the opponent.

He deliberately used this question to test Conan and Teacher Maori today. If he didn't test the consultant, who knows whether Conan would suspect that he and the consultant had colluded?

It's all about acting, Conan and that guy Akai are in the same group, and he doesn't want to expose his close relationship with the consultant to Conan early.

And he also wanted to know how the consultant would react after hearing this name, and whether he had known about this person's existence for a long time.

As for whether the consultant would react abnormally when hearing the name 'Kusuda Rikudō', and then Conan would discover the identity of the organization member...

He believed in the consultant's ability to conceal his emotions, and also believed in the consultant's reaction speed. Even if he accidentally made an abnormal reaction, the consultant should be able to successfully fool him, right?

Well, let him see how much the consultant knows...
