Mihua General Hospital.

Qianzhu opened his eyes and saw pure white. The pungent smell of disinfectant filled his nose.

"Brother Qianzhu, are you awake?" Ayumi's surprised voice rang out, attracting the attention of everyone else.

The moment Qianzhu sat up, someone put a pillow behind him, and he discovered that there were a bunch of dwarf radishes around him.

"Chitake, how do you feel?" Mao Lilan came over with a worried look on her face.

Qianzhu shook his head, a faint apologetic smile appeared on his still pale face, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have made you worry."

"I'm sorry, Brother Qianzhu..."

The three little ones next to them suddenly hung their heads and apologized.

"Hmm?" Qianzhu showed a little doubt, then raised his hand and rubbed Ayumi's head with a smile, "This is not your fault. After all, no one noticed that those robbers would follow you."

"Besides... knowing that you are in danger, I really can't just turn a blind eye and leave."

The more tenderly he consoled them, the more guilty they became.

Tears welled up in Ayumi's eyes and she threw herself into his arms.

The curve of Qianzhu's mouth stiffened for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a sigh.

He stretched out his arms and lightly embraced Ayumi, patting her back gently with one hand to silently comfort her.

When she calmed down, Qian Zhu patted her head again and said softly to her and the others, "It's getting late. You should go back first, or your family will be worried."

Mitsuhiko nodded, "We understand. We'll come see you tomorrow, Brother Qianzhu."

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

"Let me take you home." Xiaolan stood up next to her.

The four of them left one after another, and in an instant, only Chitake and Conan were left in the quiet ward.

After taking a look at Chitake's injured shoulder, Conan still expressed his doubts aloud.

"Brother Qianzhu, how did you know we were there?"

Qianzhu exhaled, relaxed his back and leaned back. Hearing his question, he couldn't help but smile and explain, "I learned from Xiaolan that you hadn't returned yet, so I went to look for you. At that time, the neon lights on that street were also on, and I happened to see a sign that looked the same as the one on the note."

Hearing this, Conan nodded thoughtfully, then looked up curiously, with his big, sparkling eyes wide open, trying to get away with it, "Hey, how come Qianzhu-ge can use a gun?"

It's only been a few days, and Kudo-kun, you have already mastered the "Death God Acting Cute" move.

Qian Zhu was amused in his heart, and nodded calmly with a smile, "Yeah, I know a little bit, isn't it incredible?"

Conan blinked.

"Because I have been in poor health since I was a child, someone suggested that I practice martial arts, saying that it might help me get better. The instructor who taught me was a retired police officer, so he also taught me some knowledge about guns."

"However...whether it was martial arts or spear training, I couldn't stick with it for long due to my physical condition."

At the end, Qianzhu smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, turned his head to look out the window at the night scene, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Conan stared at this scene in a daze. After a few seconds, he reacted and changed the subject abruptly. "Oh, by the way, there really were gold coins in that building, but it seems that someone else took them away before us..."

Qian Zhu turned his head and looked at him, a thoughtful look on his face, "Is there anyone other than us and that bandit group who knows the secret of the code on the note?"

Conan nodded in agreement, "It's very likely..."

Suddenly, the ward became quiet.

The silence was broken only when a cell phone rang.
