Chapter 82 The Bridge of Trust

It was only seven o'clock in the evening when Shimizu Koji came back. Because it was January 1st in the northern hemisphere, the night fell very early. Now it was completely dark.

And this New Year's Eve dinner was the first time that Shimizu Koji showed his appetite.

Huihara Ai and the doctor were ready to continue to heat up these dishes tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Shimizu Koji was very slow and ate all the more than ten dishes with chopsticks.

He took two pieces of toilet paper from the paper box on the table, wiped his mouth, and Shimizu Koji smiled at Huihara and the doctor opposite.

"Thank you for the hospitality."

Huihara Ai nodded blankly, her eyes sliding down along Shimizu Koji's chest, as if she wanted to see if his belly was as big as Dr. Agasa's.

But Shimizu Koji didn't care about her anymore at this time, and turned to look at Conan.

"By the way, Conan, how is the driver's license I asked you to get before?"

"Eh? Not yet, but I already-"

"No need, I already have it."

Shimizu Koji interrupted Conan and took out a small black book from his pocket and shook it in front of him.

Conan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously reached out to take it, opened it, and looked even more surprised.

Because he knew that Shimizu Koji didn't have this thing before today, but only one afternoon-

Across the way, Huiyuan Ai and the doctor were cleaning the table. At this moment, they also looked at Shimizu Koji's driver's license twice more, and Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She knew a little more than Conan. She knew that Shimizu Koji was going to deal with those who followed him, but now it seems that things may not be as she thought.

"Koji, you-"

"Don't ask this, I can't explain it to you clearly, but if you need it in the future, call me."

Conan looked at Shimizu Koji, and then looked down at the driver's license.

After a moment, he reached out and folded the driver's license and returned it to Shimizu Koji, and nodded.

"I understand."

He can trust Shimizu Koji completely, but Conan will not call Shimizu Koji for everything. He also has his own pride, although sometimes it may seem a little stupid.

But don't forget that compared to Shimizu Koji and Xiao Ai who have experience beyond their age.

Kudo Shinichi and Tie Zhuoyu, their immature personalities at this time are the normal performance of young boys and girls at this time, and they are already very outstanding among them.

"Let's go, I just happened to take you back." Shimizu Koji took the coat from the back of the chair and put it on.

Conan was stunned again when he heard this, "Send me? Just?"

"Well, Xiao Ai and I have something to go out, just happened to take you back, oh, by the way, I have a car."

When Conan saw Shimizu Koji driving the car like a sleeping steel behemoth out of his petite garage, he was completely stunned.

Ai Huihara on the side was not much better, but compared to Conan, her mind was more occupied by other things at the moment.

From the beginning, there was a hint of heaviness in Shimizu Koji's eyes and temperament, as if he was deliberately showing it to her, perhaps because Conan was there.

Faintly, Ai Huihara had a bad premonition again.

"Shimizu, you."

"Get in the car."

Conan opened his mouth, and his mind just flashed, all he thought about was whether Shimizu Koji was throwing himself into the arms of the rich woman Sonoko!

After all, in his social circle, only the Suzuki family might have such great power, a driver's license in less than half a day, and such a luxurious car.

And it's no wonder he thought so, Shimizu Koji himself relied on his face to be popular with women, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Sonoko.

Conan originally wanted to sit in the co-pilot, but Ai Huihara got in first, so he had no choice but to admit it and sit in the back seat.

But to be honest, the back seat is definitely more comfortable, but he has too many questions to ask Shimizu Koji.

"Shimizu's car--"

"A friend of mine gave it to me."

Shimizu Koji's voice stopped abruptly, Conan nodded, understood what he meant, and stopped asking.

Huihara Ai silently fastened her seat belt and sat in the seat obediently and nervously.

Shimizu Koji silently started the car, and a phone call sounded in the back seat.

Through the rearview mirror, Shimizu Koji could clearly see that Conan was dialing the phone seriously, and he didn't avoid them.

"Moshimoshi, Kudo, it's so late, what's the matter?"

The voice on the other end of the phone made Shimizu Koji and Huihara Ai frown together.

"Ah, Hattori, that's the thing I asked you to do last time. It's not necessary now."

"Eh? No, well, I'm just worried about the trouble."

"Sorry to bother you."

"Haha, what are you talking about? That's not something you can say. But then again, I really want to meet that Shimizu."

"I'll definitely meet him in the future."

After Conan hung up the phone, feeling the silent atmosphere in the car, he took the initiative to explain.

A story about Hattori Heiji and Lao Baigan.

He was very hesitant before, but after tonight, he felt that this was something he could say. Although he still didn't have complete trust, at least he was sure that Huibara would not harm them.

So, he made this call in front of the two of them. This was a call he took the initiative to build a bridge of trust.

——

Suzuki Private Hospital.

Wearing a light pink dress and with her long hair tied up behind her head, Suzuki Ayako walked out of the blood drawing room accompanied by the hospital director and a professional doctor.

She came here for a full body check today. Although she had a private doctor at home and a medical team for health monitoring, she was about to get engaged, so the hospital would definitely provide more comprehensive services.

The blood draw was left to the last item, and soon, one after another, the information was delivered, including the blood test that had just been done.

"Your physical condition is normal, Miss Ayako."

The director and the doctor read the test report separately and said to Suzuki Ayako respectfully.

They also planned to hand the report to Suzuki Ayako for her to read in person, but Suzuki Ayako waved her hand and refused.

"Put all these reports in a file bag, and someone will come to pick them up later."

"Understood." The doctor left with the report, leaving the hospital director behind.

Suzuki Ayako sat on a bench in the hospital corridor. Two female bodyguards brought her hot water and put a coat on her.

Suzuki Ayako glanced at the dean standing beside her. Her thoughts turned, and she spoke softly after a while: "How is the sister of Sonoko now?"

"The vital signs are stable, but she is still in a coma."

"How long has it been?"

"Almost a month."

Suzuki Ayako reached out to the bodyguard beside her, and a magazine was handed to her. Then, Suzuki Ayako turned the magazine to a certain page and handed it to the hospital director.

"You contact this team now and say that our Suzuki Foundation intends to invest in their research project and ask them to come to Japan first."

The hospital director took the magazine and looked at it for a few times. He naturally knew more about these things than Suzuki Ayako, but obviously, Suzuki Ayako should have consulted professionals before, so he nodded and turned away.
