Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 172 Hattori Visits the Patient

This time, Hattori Heiji brought the right gift to the hospital: a box of beautifully packaged oranges sold individually and a cantaloupe.

Nagai Hikaru nodded: "You paid a lot of money this time. You might not buy these even if I were lying here."

Hattori Heiji was stunned by Nagai Hikaru's kimono before walking into the ward.

"Because it seems to me that Mr. Hamura's being in the hospital bed might have caused you more pain than you were in the hospital bed, but it seems that you are doing well now." Hattori Heiji looked at Hamura, who was sitting on the hospital bed and peeling an apple for Nagai Mitsuru, and his mind was full of complaints.

Nagai Hikaru held his face and sighed: "That's right, Shuichi will have to stay in the hospital for three more days."

Shuichi Hamura smiled and took the plate from the bedside table, cut the apples, arranged them on the plate, and then placed it in front of Hikaru Nagai.

Hattori Heiji couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head away: "Isn't this considered patient abuse? I have to work for you while I'm in the hospital bed."

"It doesn't matter. It's pretty easy to sit there and do nothing." Shuichi Hamura explained with a smile.

"Mr. Hamura, you just spoil him too much. By the way, Xiaoguang, you haven't bought a new cell phone yet?" He had to call Mao Lilan to ask about the bed number before.

"My brother went to get it for me, and said he would give it to me when he came to pick me up after his work." He must have gone to the laboratory to check if there was any information or equipment left out.

"Your brother?" Hattori Heiji was surprised. "Your guardian? I thought your guardian was that teacher."

"It's my brother. By the way, what case brought you here?"

"There was a village. More than ten years ago, a foreigner who was digging for treasure died at the excavation site. Before his death, he wrote the word nue. They all said it was a monster Nue. Recently, rumors of Nue have been circulating in the village again." Hattori Heiji saw that Hamura Shuichi had already started peeling oranges for Nagai Mitsuru, so he reluctantly took the fruit plate handed over by Nagai Mitsuru and took an apple to eat.

"Nue? How do you write it?" Nagai Mitsuru was curious.

Hattori Heiji typed out the information on his phone and showed it to him: "It is said that many people have heard the cry of the Nue. By the way, they wanted to invite Kudo Shinichi to take a look."

After reading the words, Nagai Hikaru nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, Heiji, you have always had a good relationship with monsters. Previously it was a demon dog, and another time you said you encountered a zombie, right? This time it's a Nue again."

Hattori Heiji pulled a chair over and sat down. "You seem to have a affinity with fire and explosions. This time, they said your house was burned down? Kazuha was feeling sorry for the garden the whole way."

"Where's Heye?"

"She met Xiaolan downstairs and started chatting." Hattori Heiji nodded to Hamura Shu to apologize, "It's either that she didn't come up to greet her, or she was a little nervous and embarrassed."

"It's okay." Shuichi Hamura smiled.

"...Mr. Hamura, you're not wearing glasses?" Hattori Heiji only then realized something was wrong.

"My glasses were broken, and the spare glasses were probably burned." Shuichi Hamura explained with a smile.

"Actually, he looks good without glasses, but I like Shuichi better with glasses." Nagai Mitsuru took the orange peeled by Shuichi Hamura, ate a slice, and calmly put the rest in the fruit plate and handed it to Hattori Heiji.

"Let me try it?" Hattori Heiji took a petal in confusion, put it in his mouth, and then his whole body trembled from the sourness.

"Don't buy this kind of thing that looks like it has beautiful packaging and shape next time." Only then did Nagai Mitsuru reveal a painful expression of gnashing teeth because of the sourness.

Hattori Heiji's tongue was almost numb: "You actually endured it for so long just to trick me into eating it?"

"I can't be the only one suffering." Nagai Mitsuru grinned.

Hattori Heiji took a piece of apple and stuffed it into his mouth to chew before he felt better: "By the way, where's Kudo?"

"Conan, it's Conan. Conan and Brother Toru have left. They must be investigating a case."

"He lost his phone too, I can't contact him." Hattori Heiji turned around and said, "You didn't change your number when you changed your phone, did you?"

"will not."

"Where are you staying these days?"

"Stay in the hotel for the next three days, and return to Dracula after Shuichi is discharged from the hospital."

The apples in the fruit plate were picked and eaten, and no one dared to touch the oranges, so Nagai Mitsuru put the fruit plate on the bedside table.

Hamura Shuichi smiled and said, "Miss, my leg is just a little injured, my hand is fine, I can take care of myself."

"No, I can't take care of myself, so I have to come to the hospital and let you take care of me." Nagai Mitsuru said confidently.

Hamura Shuichi blinked and nodded with a smile: "That's great."

The door opened at this time, and the three of them turned their heads together. Mao Lilan looked very nervous: "Xiao Guang, your brother is here."

Nagai Hikaru turned around and saw Toyama Kazuha, who looked a little frightened, walking in with Gin, who was wearing a black windbreaker.

Gin carried a bag, walked past Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, and came to Nagai Hikaru, handing him the bag: "Cellphone."

Nagai Hikaru stood up and took the bag. Gin came over and sat on the chair that Nagai Hikaru had previously occupied. He turned to look at Hattori Heiji and said, "Hikaru's friend?"

"Hello, my name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm from Osaka." Sweat dripped from Hattori Heiji's head. Why did this man look a bit like someone described by Kudo?

"Kurosawa Jin." Gin nodded.

Nagai Hikaru rummaged through the bag and pulled out two boxes: "Ah, Shuichi, our new phones."

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan walked up to Nagai Hikaru, and Toyama Kazuha whispered, "Your brother doesn't seem to like talking much."

Nagai Mitsuru waved his hand and smiled, "No, he's quite talkative sometimes." Then he handed the black lemon phone to Hamura Shuichi and picked up the white one himself.

He turned on the phone directly and found the SIM card already inside. It should have been prepared by the organization based on his previous habits.

Nagai Hikaru walked towards Gin while tapping the screen of his mobile phone, sat sideways on his lap, and leaned slightly towards Gin.

After confirming that the contact book on his phone was similar to the one he had backed up online, and that someone must have downloaded it for him, Nagai Mitsuru raised his head and looked at the others. He found that the ward was unusually quiet. "What's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji had sweat dripping from his forehead: "You guys... have a good relationship."

"Ah?" Nagai Hikaru didn't react, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other with some subtle feelings.

Mao Lilan checked the time on her phone and said, "Ah, Xiao Guang, since Mr. Kurosawa is here, I will go back first. I should go to the market to buy ingredients for today's dinner."

Hattori Heiji stood up and said, "Let's go too. I want to find a job today... Let's talk Conan."

Nagai Hikaru pointed to the bag he had just placed at the end of the bed and said, "Xiaolan, there is a cell phone in it. It's for Conan. Please bring it to him."

"Okay... okay."

After they left the ward, Gin raised his hand and put it around Nagai's bare waist, helping him sit more steadily: "That gentleman wants to see you, let me take you there later."

"I see. How did you get in here?"

"What is the relationship between this Hattori and the police chief Hattori Heizo in Osaka?"

"His only son," Nagai Hikaru said with a smile, "is also a detective."

"You have quite a few detectives around you."

Hamura Shuichi also opened his phone and looked at it for a while, then smiled at Nagai Hikaru and said, "Miss, you guys go first. I already have a phone. If I have anything, I can contact the maid at home to come over."

"it is good."

Gin loosened his hand and let Nagai Mitsuru stand up first: "Then I'll take him away first."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Gin for sending the cell phone." Shuichi Hamura also sent a message just now and had someone customize a pair of glasses and send them to him.

.

When Conan came back in the evening, he looked solemn. Toru Amuro asked the public security to take over the case and went to Misakihama-cho 5-chome to find the hut that had been basically burned down.

However, the forensic personnel only found three skeletons inside, one of which had part of the posterior spine extracted.

"Are you sure there were five people who came to rob?" At the scene, Toru Amuro realized something was wrong after investigating the clues.

"Yes, there are five people in total, and one of them should have joined not long ago." Conan frowned as he looked at Kurotsuchi who was put into the body bag.

"The owner of this house died two months ago, but people nearby said they saw someone going up the mountain." Amuro Toru looked at some nearby inquiries given to him by public security personnel. "There were often camping and fires on the mountain before, so no one paid attention when the thick smoke came out. Until the police came to inquire, it had been burning for more than ten hours.

"All the clues inside have been burned."

It burned for such a long time that we were lucky enough not to catch fire on the surrounding woods. Everything that could be carbonized in the cabin was completely carbonized.

"Did you find any burnt remains of banknotes and jewelry?" Conan asked.

"No, he should have been taken away." Toru Amuro handed Conan the information that the investigators had found.

Conan looked carefully until he saw the cause of death of the three people. Because it had been carbonized, more details could not be seen at all, but one had a broken skull, one had the spine pulled out from the back of the neck, and another had an arrow residue in the throat, probably because of a bow and arrow piercing the throat.

"...The murderer was really angry." Amuro Toru raised his hand to adjust his hair, "I was just slapped. I was really lucky."

"Mr. Amuro is not one of those robbers, but where are the other two people from Su Luo's gang?" Conan turned a page of records and checked other records.

There were signs of burning on two crossbows, with only some metal debris left. It was impossible to identify whether they were the criminal props used by the Su Luo Group.

"It burned too cleanly." Conan sighed.

"Two people are missing?"

"Yes, it is very likely that two people were needed to carry the money and jewelry. Those things were taken away." Conan touched his chin, "Gin must have been holding Xiaoguang at the time."

"Xiao Guang said that Gin brought him along." Amuro Toru nodded.

"Such a brutal way of killing..." Conan bit his lower lip lightly: No wonder Xiaoguang became afraid of blood.

After seeing Conan finish reading the records, Toru Amuro took the information back and gave it to Kazami next to him: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Fūya, since Nagai saw the scene, we can ask her to come out and identify the murderer..."

"No." Toru Amuro and Conan said at the same time.

Amuro Toru glanced at Conan before explaining to Kazami: "This is too dangerous for her, and...as long as the organization catches anyone important to Xiaoguang, she might just change her testimony."

"Yes, there are too many things that can threaten Xiaoguang." Conan sighed.

The two looked at each other and thought at the same time that perhaps this was the reason why Nagai Mitsuru was released later and allowed to resume contact with his former friends.

Nagai Hikaru has too many ties that he cares about.
