After shaking his head, Sano stood up and continued walking out.
Then, at the door, a policeman ran past Sano in a hurry, came to the lounge and shouted: “Sir, the hospital called, Ling Qianjin’s operation was successful!”
“What, this is so good!”
The silence suddenly turned into cheers. Only Mao Lilan suddenly came to his senses and rushed out of the lounge. Although Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were confused when they saw this, they could only follow.
Toru Amuro, after a brief thought, also followed.
“senior!!”
Sano was about to take a taxi to the tram stop, but Mao Lilan’s shouting came from behind him.
Sano turned around and watched Mao Lilan, who seemed to be running a 100-meter race, rushing towards him and grabbed his arm.
“What’s wrong?”
“The teacher’s operation was successful, let’s go see her together!”
Mao Lilan was a little out of breath and looked at Sano firmly.
“…Since the operation was successful, there is no need to go see him.”
Sano didn’t really want to go. He couldn’t eat the red mat and couldn’t eat the white mat, so there was no need to bother.
“No, I have to go!”
Mao Lilan grabbed Sano’s wrist tightly, like an iron hoop. Sano was silent for a moment, knowing that he would definitely not be able to run away, so he could only nod helplessly.
Seeing Sano’s agreement, Mao Lilan finally let go of his hand and smiled, so that Conan and Suzuki Sonoko who came behind became more and more confused and looked at each other.
“You have made a very good friend.”
Before leaving for the hospital, Toru Amuro, who arrived last, said this to Sano, then waved his hand and left.
What to say.
Sano glanced at his boss’s back, and at Mao Lilan’s urging, got into the police car that took them there.
After watching Sano and the trio leave, Toru Amuro’s eyes gradually darkened and his brows furrowed in the corner.
…Toru Amuro frowned not because of what happened today, but because of a piece of gossip he just learned yesterday – the organization has a new cadre, and the code name is… Rye Whiskey.
After all, the organization is not a formal company. Every time a new person comes, every employee will be notified, or even a welcome meeting will be held.
Therefore, if you want to know information about new and old “colleagues”, you have to rely on connections.
Although Toru Amuro is an undercover agent, he is still an old man who has been undercover for many years. Of course, his interpersonal relationships are not bad, so he soon learned of the existence of this newcomer.
It’s a pity that the information that Tohru Amuro can currently detect about this newcomer is only this code name.
…As an undercover agent, I must grasp the information about this newcomer who appeared in the Tokyo area as soon as possible.
Toru Amuro clenched his fists silently and let out a long breath. Yes, these are all the responsibilities of being an undercover agent and absolutely do not contain any personal emotions!
Just when he thought of the word “rye”, Amuro Toru’s fists clenched a little more unconsciously, and his back molars were almost crushed by him.
…
In the single ward of the hospital, a weak-looking Sayuri Matsumoto was lying on the bed. The ward was crowded with people, but these people came and left quickly.
After all, Sayuri Matsumoto had just undergone surgery and needed to rest.
“You’re actually here too…”
Sayuri Matsumoto was obviously surprised when she saw Sano, but it seemed that her throat was seriously injured due to the influence of sodium hydroxide, and her voice was very hoarse.
“I thought you wouldn’t care whether I died or not.”
A smile appeared on Sayuri Matsumoto’s face, which made Sano’s eyes look a little subtle. He really didn’t care. Could you please stop saying things that are so easy for people to misunderstand? It makes people panic.
However, this is just the beginning, because what Sayuri Matsumoto does next is even more likely to be misunderstood.
Faced with the three Maorilan people who were obviously more concerned about themselves than Sano, Sayuri Matsumoto actually just dealt with them for a few words and asked them to go out and wait, leaving Sano alone, saying that she wanted to talk alone.
What are you doing? Could it be that the original person has really provoked this junior high school teacher? Is it so exciting?
Mao Lilan and the other three were equally puzzled, but their thoughts were much purer than Sano’s. They didn’t think much about it, but quietly exited the ward and waited outside the door.
“Xiaolan.”
Until then, Suzuki Sonoko, who had been looking troubled during the journey, finally couldn’t help but said: “Do you feel that senior seems… a little different?”
“What’s the difference? It’s just that we didn’t know him well enough before.”
Mao Lilan smiled and said: “After all, if we really talk about it, the time we have really known each other as seniors is only so long.”
“makes sense.”
Suzuki Sonoko shrank into a ball: “But I still feel weird. I used to feel that my senior was not good at expressing himself, but he was kind-hearted…handsome guy. When I look at it today, I always feel that my senior is a bit…inhumane.” Woolen cloth.”
Mao Lilan knew what Suzuki Sonoko meant. It was just that Sano showed no interest when the groom Takasugi “explained his motives” before, and seemed to be indifferent to the life and death of Sayuri Matsumoto, which made him seem to have no empathy.
only……
“Have you forgotten what senior said when he left before?”
After arousing Suzuki Sonoko’s interest, Mao Lilan smiled and gave the answer: “He said he would call him if there was a funeral. It seemed like he was waiting for the teacher to die, but if you think about it carefully, the senior’s Could it mean that if the teacher fails to survive, just notify him, and if he survives, you can also notify him?”
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Is that so? I was just wondering why you suddenly had to pull Senior over. Oh, why is he so awkward? Really, I almost misunderstood him. It’s my fault.”
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko “react”, Mao Lilan smiled even more on her face. Yes, she specially brought Sano here because she hoped that the other party could express her inner kindness more directly.
Maybe Sano himself doesn’t care what others think of him, but as his classmate, junior, and friend, Mao Lilan feels that, at least, she cannot ignore it.
As for whether Sano really thinks what Mao Lilan said…
Ahem, if Sano heard what Mao Lilan said just now, his expression would probably look like he’s seen a ghost.
“Um?”
Mao Lilan suddenly turned his head, and then saw a certain plague god leaning against the door of a nearby ward, his ears standing up like antennas.
“Conan…”
Mao Lilan’s face darkened: “How could you eavesdrop on other people’s conversations? It’s too rude!”
“Shhhhhh!”
However, Conan ignored his sister Xiaolan and looked attentive, listening carefully to the sounds in the ward.
“…”
Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to Mao Lilan, stuck out his head, and the gossip cells in his body began to proliferate crazily: “What did this kid hear? Why is he so excited?”
The excited Suzuki Sonoko and the stiff-faced Mao Lilan looked at each other for three seconds, and then the little kid lying on the crack of the door immediately turned into three people, one big and one small, like stacks of Arhats.
In the ward.
After Mao Lilan and others went out, the first thing Sayuri Matsumoto said was: “You are finally willing to make friends.”
Sano: “…”
It always felt like he knew what the other person was going to say next.
“If you’re going to give me chicken soup, you might as well skip it.”
“Fine…chicken soup?”
Sayuri Matsumoto’s pale face showed a little confusion.
“Forget it, let’s make a long story short. What exactly do you want to say? I’m still in a hurry to eat dinner. I didn’t eat much lunch to begin with.”
Sano touched his belly. He was not joking. They set off in the morning and arrived at noon. Although the wedding also provided meals at noon, he had only eaten a few snacks at that time. Conan’s business skills, oh no, he has the constitution of a plague god. The attack started, and it wasn’t until dusk that the case was completely solved.
“ah……”
Sayuri Matsumoto said apologetically: “I’m really sorry. The wedding didn’t happen, so forget it. It also made you hungry. I heard what my father just said, did you find out the truth? Do you plan to continue to develop in the direction of detectives in the future? “
“Otherwise, go to the police college. If you work under my father in the future, I can ask him to take more care of you.”
Sayuri Matsumoto laughed again: “Hahaha, am I poaching for my father?”
Sano didn’t reply, just looked at the other person, and Sayuri Matsumoto finally stopped laughing and sighed.
“It hurts, I feel hopeless, I regret it, and I never want to try it a second time.”
Sayuri Matsumoto said without any end.
“Is this how you felt at first?”
Sano’s brows began to frown. Sure enough, Sayuri Matsumoto’s understanding of the original body was somewhat beyond expectations.
“Three times. I heard that you committed suicide three times in total. You swallowed pills, cut your wrists, and hung yourself. Each time, you used a different method of death.”
Sayuri Matsumoto said quietly: “I’m curious, did you feel that the last method of death was too painful and you didn’t dare to try it… But since you have already tried the pain of dying, how could you dare to commit suicide again?”
Sano: “…”
After the corner of his eye twitched, Sano fell into confusion. He had guessed that the original person might have such an experience, especially after knowing the original person’s family situation today, he was not surprised by this.
but……
Isn’t three times too much?
And he was still alive after three attempts. Do you dare to be more outrageous?
“Sano, don’t be stupid again in the future. The past must be the past, and people have to look forward, right?”
That’s enough, stop feeding me, it’s the original person who’s sick, not me!
Facing the chicken soup that Sayuri Matsumoto painstakingly prepared, Sano exhaled helplessly. In order to end it as soon as possible, he could only nod: “I understand…”
