Chapter 528 Become the Proactive Party
Dr. A Li hurriedly protected Haihara Ai and said, "What can you do? I can prove that Xiao Ai really didn't go out today."
Mao Lilan explained: "We met Xiao Ai on the way here and chatted for a while. We won't remember it wrong."
"Really?" Dr. Ali vaguely guessed the truth. He subconsciously covered up Conan and Haibara Ai, "Could it be that you recognized the wrong person? Or maybe you just remembered it wrong."
"How is it possible! It's possible that I remembered it wrongly alone, but how could all three of them remember it wrong?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Nobushige and asked, "We did see Xiao Ai today, right, Mr. Asano?"
Hearing this, Xinfan looked hesitant: "Speaking of which, I suddenly feel a little unsure."
"Ah?" Lingmu Yuanzi was surprised and turned to Mao Lilan again, "Xiaolan, you don't want to tell me that you don't remember?"
Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly and said, "Maybe it's really our misunderstanding. My mental state has not been very good these days."
Suzuki Sonoko's attention was immediately attracted by the content of her words, and she asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is it still because of the previous incident?"
Mao Lilan shook his head and didn't want to say more. Although Lingmu Yuanzi was very anxious, looking at Mao Lilan's expression, she still did not ask further questions.
After leaving Dr. Agasa's house, Nobushige drove Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to the hospital where Teacher Judy was.
Judy lives in a single ward. The environment here is very good. The key is that it is highly private, which makes it easier for her to talk to other people in the FBI.
"Ah, Xiaolan, it's you." Judy smiled enthusiastically as soon as she saw Mao Lilan.
She likes this courageous girl very much, especially Mao Lilan who has a kind heart. The way Mao Lilan desperately protected Haihara Ai that day not only shocked Belmode, but also moved bystanders like her.
Mao Lilan placed the flowers they bought on the road on the bedside table, and then said to Judy: "Teacher Judy, are you okay? I heard that you were seriously injured that day."
Speaking of this, an uncomfortable blush appeared on Mao Lilan's cheeks. She felt guilty for her weakness. She seemed to be brave enough to get out of the trunk that night, but she ended up fainting. She didn't even know where Teacher Judy's injuries were or whether they were serious.
Judy said with relief: "It's okay, you see I'm alive and kicking again now!"
As she spoke, she deliberately made several large movements to prove her vitality to Mao Lilan, but she accidentally injured her wound. Judy suddenly took a breath of air and couldn't help showing a painful expression.
"Teacher Judy!" Mao Lilan was so frightened that she hurriedly asked, "Do you want to call a doctor?"
Judy looked at her and suddenly burst into laughter: "I was joking. In fact, my injury has already healed."
If Nobuhiro hadn't noticed Judy's unnatural movements, he would have been deceived by this woman.
Hearing this, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was scared to death just now."
"As an FBI agent, how could I make such a fuss over such a minor injury?!" Judy said confidently.
Among the people present, Suzuki Sonoko was the only one who was not mentally prepared. She was stunned, and then said in shock: "Hey! You are an FBI agent... Uh-huh!!"
Mao Lilan covered Suzuki Sonoko's mouth, worried: "Sonzi, don't be so loud!"
Suzuki Sonoko opened Mao Lilan's palm, still looking in disbelief: "Is it true? Are you really..."
Judy leaned back on the pillow and looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a smile.
It was also at this time that she saw Asano Nobushige standing at the door through Suzuki Sonoko.
The curve of Judy's mouth widened a little: "Mr. Asano, I didn't expect you to come see me too!"
"I'm sorry." Xinfan stepped forward and said softly, "It seems that I left a bad impression on you, and you were surprised that I came to visit you."
"Oh? You're wrong, I still have a very good impression of you." Judy smiled and rolled her eyes, "I've seen your video, you're very charming~"
Nobuhiro raised his lips politely.
Today he has been listening to everyone praising the guy Kuroba Kaito in front of him, and this feeling is a bit subtle. He had an inexplicable feeling that he was Kuroba Kaito's stand-in, which was very unpleasant.
"But as an FBI teacher, Judy, why did you come to Japan?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously, "Are you here to be an undercover agent??"
"No! I actually came to Japan for vacation. My boss gave me a period of vacation. But I should go back soon." Judy spread her hands helplessly and said, "How are the criminals I have been chasing before? It’s easy to get traced, so I can’t miss work. Although I actually would rather stay in Japan. This is simply a paradise for video games!”
Suzuki Sonoko said in shock: "I didn't expect that Teacher Judy really came to Japan because of video games..."
Then, Judy explained in great detail why she came to Dr. Ali's house that night, how she battled wits with the gangsters who captured Conan and Haibara Ai, and how the gangsters finally escaped due to the arrival of the police. Again.
Suzuki Garden listened with interest, but there was always a trace of confusion lingering in Mao Lilan's expression. Apparently what Judy said didn't exactly match what she heard that night.
But until the end, Mao Lilan did not question it.
She just embarrassedly explained the reason why she hid in Teacher Judy's trunk, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are not a bad person. That's great."
"Really, what is going on in your head?" Suzuki Sonoko sighed.
Mao Lilan laughed sheepishly, but she still asked Judy with some worry: "Well, who were the gangsters who kidnapped Conan and Xiao Ai at that time? You are the FBI, and you can't do anything about them. They don't seem to be ordinary people. A gangster, right?"
Judy's expression became serious: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Don't worry, I will not give up investigating them even if I return to the United States."
"Well, thank you."
"But next time you encounter something like this, you must not take any chances." Judy warned.
Nobushige also said: "Yes, Miss Maori often interacts or conflicts with extremists when her father follows her. You still have to ensure your own safety first."
As he spoke, his eyes darkened, as if promising himself: "As for Xiao Ai, I will protect her."
Although Belmode's plan this time did not cause any losses to Nobuhiro and the others, he was indeed in a passive position.
The organization has been peaceful for too long and needs to encounter some waves.
Next time, he will be the one to take the initiative.
