Chapter 7 I Finally Found You

The people from the Suzuki family arrived very quickly. As soon as Shimizu Koji drove the car out of the factory and parked it on the side of the road, an ambulance drove over with a small motorcade in the middle.

Leaving Conan who was knocked unconscious in Mingmei's car, locking the door, Shimizu Koji followed Mingmei into the ambulance.

It wasn't until he arrived at the hospital and saw Mingmei entering the operating room and the relevant doctors explaining Mingmei's situation to him that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting on a chair outside the operating room, the benefits of Suzuki Private Hospital are obvious, VIP, VIP, VVIP.

In short, apart from the medical staff coming and going, he was the only one in the corridor.

Since it was a gunshot wound, if she was sent to the hospital normally, she would be in a lot of trouble, and it would be very possible for her to reveal that Mingmei was not dead.

Yes, Miyano Akemi was not dead. Fortunately, the bullet missed her heart and only penetrated her lungs.

But there was also unfortunate news. Due to the remoteness of the factory and the previous delay, the doctor told Shimizu Koji that Miyano Akemi was likely to suffer from hypoxia in the brain.

In the best case scenario, it will take Miyano Akemi one to two weeks to wake up from the coma, and this is still the best case scenario. If the time is longer, she will lose her memory or even be unable to wake up.

About two hours later, the door to the operating room opened.

The female doctor in a white coat had sweat on her forehead, but when she saw Koji Shimizu waiting on the chair, she walked up quickly and explained the situation to him.

"The operation went relatively smoothly. The bullet has been removed and the patient is out of danger. However, the situation mentioned before"

"I understand." After listening to the doctor's explanation, Shimizu Koji nodded, and then, under his gaze, Miyano Akemi was transferred to the special intensive care unit comprehensive treatment room.

Shimizu Koji took care of everything, walked out of the hospital, and returned to the factory accompanied and escorted by the two people left behind by the Suzuki family.

It has to be said that the quality of these professionals from the large chaebol is indeed extraordinary. From the beginning to the end, they did not say any unnecessary words or ask any unnecessary questions. After sending Koji Shimizu to them, they bowed politely before turning around and leaving. go.

Thank you to that lady.

Of course Suzuki Sonoko wanted to come over for a visit, but Koji Shimizu stopped her from thinking.

And the whole process was pure utilization, without a trace of emotion, oh no, there was still a lot of gratitude.

Conan was still unconscious in the car. Seeing his painful sleeping face, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but worry. Was he too harsh in his desperation at that time?

After all, he didn't want a kid like Conan to find out that Miyano Akemi could still be saved. Those two men in black were obviously well-trained and well-organized people.

Before finding out the specific situation, Shimizu Koji did not intend to let anyone know that Miyano Akemi was still alive.

As for the bodyguards of the Suzuki family and the doctors at the private hospital, they only knew that his 'sister' had suffered a gunshot wound, and with their professionalism, they should have helped keep this trivial matter a secret, unless the Suzuki family and that Organizations are connected

That possibility was too small and too bad. Koji Shimizu thought about it and threw it away.

And then again, this brat.

Koji Shimizu looked at Conan and was lost in thought. It was him who succeeded and failed today. This kid could actually catch up with a skateboard. This is unscientific!

And how did he discover and know the whole thing? That famous detective Mouri Kogoro, why doesn't he come by himself?

After calming down, Shimizu Koji discovered that there were too many mysteries and wrong things about Conan. It couldn't be that this kid saw through the incident and took the initiative to participate, right?

Recalling the situation when Conan came out of Akemi's house, it doesn't seem impossible.

Of course Mingmei's car couldn't be used, and there was nothing useful or extra in it. After lifting Conan out of the car, Shimizu Koji carried him all the way back to the red Mazda he borrowed.

Turning the key and starting the car, Koji Shimizu drove Conan out of the factory.

After returning to the apartment, half an hour later, Conan finally woke up, but in the sea of ​​​​fire, he did not know that it was Koji Shimizu who knocked him out.

"It looks like someone has already been here." Conan looked at Miyano Akemi's door with a serious face. When he turned around and saw the calm eyes of Shimizu Koji, he immediately came back to his senses and became a little at a loss.

"It doesn't matter, Sister Yami is dead anyway."

Koji Shimizu's voice was calm and without any ripples. After hearing his words, Conan lowered his head and his glasses glowed with white light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

On the way, Shimizu Koji and Conan roughly reconciled the next things, such as the most critical thing, Mingmei's body was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

"Who are those people?"

"I don't know, but depending on the situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to live here with peace of mind."

Shimizu Koji said casually, walked to the door of his room, and twisted the doorknob.

Not surprisingly, his house was also visited by those people. In this short period of time, the energy of those people seemed to be much greater than he imagined.

Conan followed Koji Shimizu into the room. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"That's right, brother Qingshui, you fought with that man in black, and if those people come again next time, with their style, your life may be in danger."

"So, who are you?"

"Edogawa Conan is a detective."

Kouji Shimizu raised his eyebrows, said nothing more, and went into the house to pack his things.

He had very few things he needed, a few sets of clothes, and a bamboo sword, and he didn't even need them, but if he left this house, his financial situation probably wouldn't allow him to be willful.

"Where are you going, brother Shimizu?"

"Let's find a hotel first."

Conan watched Koji Shimizu pack his luggage, opened his mouth, and thought of the fight between Koji Shimizu and Gin before, and finally made up his mind.

"Then go to my house, no, go to my cousin's house!"

"Your cousin?"

"Ahaha, yes, it's my distant cousin. I was going to live at his house, but he happened to be away from home, and I was too young, so I had to stay at Uncle Maori Kogoro's house."

"So it just so happens that no one lives in my cousin's house now, and he is said to have gone abroad."

Conan was about to babble for a while, but Koji Shimizu interrupted him quickly.

"Your cousin's house, can you make the decision?"

"Uh, ah, my cousin will definitely agree. My cousin is Kudo Shinichi. If he knew that you fought the gangster so bravely to save people, he would definitely praise you!"

When Shimizu Koji heard him say that, he was a little moved, but the name Kudo Shinichi made him feel familiar.

Not only did he see it when he checked Maori Kogoro's information a few days ago, it seemed that he had heard it somewhere else.

"Eh? Shimizu brother, are you a student of Teitan High School?"

When Conan came back to his senses, he was a little surprised when he looked at the school uniform he had just taken out.

"Is there any problem?"

"No, no problem, it's just that my distant cousin Kudo Shinichi is a second-year student of Teitan High School."

When Conan saw Shimizu Koji's school uniform, he was also a little surprised, and then he had some other thoughts in his mind.

Shimizu Koji, he had no reaction when he heard his name!

Damn, he has been gone for too long, even his schoolmates don't remember him.

But if he knew Shimizu Koji's personality and character, I'm afraid this idea wouldn't be so intense.

After a discussion, Shimizu Koji finally decided to accept the kindness of this elementary school student, because he was really short of money.

Some details such as rent can be discussed later, but it's okay to go and see the house tonight. If the house is not good, there is naturally no need to talk about the rent.

Conan also understood one thing, that is, why he didn't know that there was such a person as Shimizu Koji in Teitan before, it turned out that Shimizu Koji was a first-year student.

Thinking that he became an elementary school student just a few days after school started, Conan was left with full of helplessness in his heart.

Putting the luggage in the back seat of the car, Conan also climbed into the co-pilot seat obediently, ready to use it as a navigation guide later.

And Shimizu Koji stood by the car door, looked at the car keys in his hand, and prepared to get in the car. He naturally did not forget that he borrowed this car in a hurry, but if he wanted to return the car, it seemed that he could only wait until tomorrow.

"Hey! Don't even think about running!"

A shout suddenly came from behind him. Shimizu Koji turned around and saw a short-haired woman in a hip-hugging short skirt running towards him.

"How dare you come back!!" After approaching Shimizu Koji, Sato Miwako did not hesitate to attack him fiercely, intending to catch him.

"Damn it! Prepare to go to jail - bastard!"

"Uh, wait!"

Shimizu Koji saw this and knew that this was the car owner who kindly lent him the car. He dodged Sato Miwako's grab and wanted to make some pale explanations, but Sato Miwako didn't intend to give him this opportunity.

One afternoon, a whole afternoon, in this era where surveillance is not yet complete, even as a policeman, Sato Miwako almost gave up and ran around to investigate, but there was no clue at all. The news was passed back to the police station. If it weren't for her face, I'm afraid she would have become a laughing stock of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just when she was discouraged, she planned to go back to the apartment for the last time to look for clues. Unexpectedly, she actually encountered her car and the car thief!

It is conceivable how angry Sato Miwako was when she saw Shimizu Koji preparing to open the car door.

It was no less than seeing someone push open the door of her wife/husband with her own eyes!

In the past, Shimizu Koji's 1.8-meter figure and handsome face became a deduction item at this time. After all, if he was shorter, his immature face could make Sato Miwako treat him as a minor and show mercy.

But now, Sato Miwako only thinks that Shimizu Koji is a good-looking social gangster.

"Asshole! Surrender!"

Looking at the woman who was obviously a little bit excited, Shimizu Koji dodged two or three sharp attacks in a row. Seeing that she had no tendency to stop, he sighed helplessly, then held Sato Miwako's right fist with one hand, and then turned around gorgeously and quickly, directly pressing the unprepared Sato Miwako on her car.

"Sorry, please calm down! I--"

"Officer Sato! Hey! Stop it!"

"Officer Takagi! Officer Sato!"

Fortunately, before the 'misunderstanding' expanded, Conan finally got out of the car with a confused look on his face, and stopped Takagi Wataru who was chasing after him and was about to take action (deliver food).

"Conan, Conan, what are you--"

Watching Conan get off the passenger seat behind her, Miwako Sato was a little confused for a moment. Conan still left a good impression on her, and Takagi Wataru also stopped his charge in time.

Seeing this, Shimizu Koji, who had no intention of suppressing Miwako Sato, also let go of her hand, but in his heart, he was thinking quickly about how to argue so that people would believe that he borrowed the car, not stole it.

There was really no way for him to avoid this matter. In other words, he should especially thank Miwako Sato for letting him borrow the car, otherwise he might have to stage a car robbery in public.

Kouji Shimizu never took the law seriously, after all, he would die soon.
