Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 652 But, everything has a price! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Ta Tata..."

After a while, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard coming from afar, and the doctor hurried over with medical equipment.

After getting a general understanding of Takasugi Toshihiko's condition, the doctor quickly squatted down and began to examine him.

He first carefully examined Takasugi Toshihiko's complexion, then lifted his eyelids and observed the reaction of his pupils. Then he picked up the stethoscope and listened carefully to his chest and back.

During the whole process, the doctor looked focused and said nothing. The people around him also tacitly held their breath, kept quiet, and watched the doctor's every move.

At this moment, the entire space was filled with an almost suffocating atmosphere of tension. Only the occasional concise instructions from the doctor and Takasugi Toshihiko's faint breathing, like a gossamer, were particularly clear in the silence.

Suzuki Sonoko held Bai Ye's arm tightly, her body leaning forward slightly involuntarily, staring at the doctor's movements without blinking, her eyes full of worry.

She was worried, and of course she wasn't concerned about Takasugi Toshihiko himself, but Takasugi Toshihiko could die at any time, except not now!
After all, her boyfriend had just scolded the other party in a harsh voice, and even made the other party vomit blood and faint. If at this critical juncture, Takasugi Toshihiko really got into trouble and never woke up again, then her boyfriend would most likely be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion and legal disputes.

Even if he can prove his innocence afterwards, it will inevitably bring some negative impact on his reputation.

This was something she didn't want to see at all.

Mao Lilan clasped her hands together in front of her chest and prayed silently that Takasugi Toshihiko would not encounter any serious problems. Although a rich second-generation had committed a heinous and unforgivable crime, life is always precious.

The most important thing is, if the other person really died like this, her boyfriend would definitely be caught in a vortex of trouble.

Thinking of this, her brows couldn't help but frown, her heart full of worry.

Conan stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, frowning slightly, thinking about the possible direction of this matter and the various potential possibilities.

After a while, the doctor slowly straightened up, gently took off his stethoscope, and turned to look at everyone with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Officer Megure took a big step forward, his face full of anxiety, and his voice was filled with undisguised urgency, and he asked, "Doctor, how is he?"

Nothing must happen to this guy Takasugi Toshihiko!

Otherwise, not only would Bai Ye, who was so angry that he vomited blood, be in deep trouble, but their police force would also most likely be branded with the notoriety of abusing lynching on criminals.

This is undoubtedly a huge disaster for the police's already precarious reputation.

The doctor frowned slightly, his expression serious and solemn, and he slowly said: "At present, his life is not in danger. It is mainly because of excessive emotional excitement that caused the blood and qi to surge, thus causing the symptoms of fainting and vomiting blood. However, his body is relatively weak at the moment, and he needs to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for a comprehensive and detailed examination and treatment. In addition, he must be prevented from being strongly stimulated again, otherwise it is very likely to cause more serious damage to his body."

When everyone heard this, the heavy stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground, and the tense expressions on their faces eased a little.

Officer Megure nodded, expressed his sincere gratitude to the doctor, and immediately turned to the police officers and said, "Immediately arrange for someone to take him to the hospital on a stretcher, and make sure there are no problems on the way. In addition, arrange for two more police officers to go to the hospital with him and guard outside the ward to ensure his safety and prevent him from doing anything extreme. Wait until he is more stable before interrogating him!"

"Yes, sir!"

The police officers hurried forward, brought a stretcher, carefully lifted Takasugi Toshihiko onto the stretcher, and then walked towards the parking area with steady and quick steps.

Watching their backs gradually going away, Conan couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said with emotion: "Hatred can really make people lose their minds and do many irreparable things."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement, took Bai Ye's arm, and said softly, "Yes, Takasugi Toshihiko was completely blinded by hatred, and only the obsession of revenge remained in his heart. It is really sad that he has come to this point step by step."

She never imagined that the elegant Takasugi Toshihiko, whom she often saw at parties, would end up like this.

For a moment, she couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, although she felt sorry for him, she didn't think Takasugi Toshihiko deserved any sympathy. Instead, she felt that he had brought this upon himself.

In other words, when a rich second-generation guy poisoned and murdered her teacher, and tried to slander her boyfriend and even tried to attack him, even if Bai Ye didn't do anything to him, she would not let him go easily.

"But, Bai Ye, you are too powerful. Just a few words made him faint twice."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Bai Ye with admiration, her eyes flashing with admiration.

Bai Ye shrugged, still with an extremely innocent expression on his face, and spread his hands as if nothing had happened and said, "I was just telling the truth and putting all the ugly things he did in front of him."

"Who could have expected that his psychological endurance would be so poor?"

"Perhaps it is the darkness and fragility in his heart that makes him unable to face up to what he has done."

Bai Ye's tone was flat, as if this was just a very ordinary matter, but his eyes revealed a hint of disdain and indifference towards Takasugi Toshihiko.

Sayuri Matsumoto took the wrong lemon tea, so there were no fingerprints of Matsumoto Kiyonaga and others on the lemon tea can at the crime scene. In other words, if his girlfriend had taken the remaining bottle of lemon tea without paying attention, then his girlfriend would have been the one who was poisoned.

In fact, this is why he is so against Takasugi Toshihiko. After all, how can he not pay a price for almost poisoning his girlfriend?

"..."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless.

It is true that you told the truth, but your truth is too sharp!
It was so sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing straight into people's hearts, as if it could instantly break the most fragile line of defense in people's hearts.

If anyone else were in that situation, they would probably be furious and might even do something more extreme!

"Humph, for someone as cowardly and incompetent as him, it's inevitable that he has poor psychological endurance."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at the stretcher going away, his eyes still full of disgust, as if his gaze wanted to penetrate Takasugi Toshihiko's back. After a cold snort, he slowly turned around and said to Bai Ye gratefully: "However, this time, Mr. Bai Ye, it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the truth would not have come out so quickly, and Sayuri would have been kept in the dark and continued to suffer more deception and harm from that guy."

As he spoke, a trace of fear could not help but flash across Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes.

He couldn't imagine what kind of disaster the Matsumoto family would encounter in the future and what kind of pain his daughter would fall into if he failed to expose the true face of a son-in-law who harbored ill intentions towards him and his beloved daughter this time.

That would definitely be a storm enough to destroy the entire Matsumoto family!
Thinking of this, and thinking of the danger and pain that his daughter, whom he had raised with great difficulty, might encounter, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a chill surged in his heart. While he felt more and more disgusted and hated Takasugi Toshihiko, his gratitude towards Bai Ye increased a bit.

Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand, responding modestly: "Inspector Matsumoto, you are too polite. As a detective, it is my job to solve the case and reveal the truth. I just did what I should do. And Sonoko, Xiaolan and Conan also played a vital role in the whole process and helped me a lot."

At this point, he paused and added, "If it weren't for the meticulous minds of Sonoko and Xiaolan, who discovered those key clues with their keen observation, and Conan, who is young but quick-witted, always gives me a lot of inspiration and ideas from a unique perspective, I wouldn't have been able to uncover the truth so smoothly. This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts!"

Conan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the lenses flashed a bright light under the light. He showed a confident smile and said, "Haha, it's nothing actually. I just think that we should observe and think more when encountering things. This time, it was thanks to Brother Bai Ye's strong reasoning ability that he was able to connect those seemingly insignificant clues and let the truth come to light. I also want to learn from Brother Bai Ye. When I encounter a case in the future, I will try to be as good as him, quickly find the real culprit, and make sure the bad guys have nowhere to escape."

On the surface, Conan's compliments seemed sincere and natural, but deep down inside he was feeling some complicated emotions.

After all, he was used to being outstanding in reasoning, and now he felt a little uncomfortable to see others praising him so generously.

The feeling was very subtle, as if an invisible little hand was gently tickling his heart, causing him to feel slightly nauseous and want to vomit.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that Bai Ye's performance in this case was indeed outstanding and remarkable, and worthy of recognition and praise.

Moreover, Bai Ye had previously recognized his abilities, and if he did not respond, he would seem petty.

Mao Lilan also smiled and nodded, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration, looking at Bai Ye and said: "Yes, Bai Ye-kun is really amazing. Not only is he observant, but also his reasoning is clear and logical, with one thing closely connected to another. I feel that every time I participate in a case with you, I can learn a lot. I admire you so much now."

After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko pouted her lips and pretended to be angry and said, "Oh, Xiaolan, you can't snatch it from me. Bai Ye is my...my good friend. However, since you have such good taste, I will reluctantly allow you to admire him as well."

After she finished speaking, before Mao Lilan could reply, she couldn't help laughing. Her laughter was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere just now, as if injecting a fresh vitality into this slightly depressing space, making everyone's mood unconsciously relaxed a lot, and their originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at their relaxed and happy appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly. He said, "Haha, you young people are really full of energy. Seeing you like this, I feel like I've become a lot younger."

When he said this, he paused and glanced at Bai Ye with a barely perceptible admiration in his eyes: "However, Mr. Bai Ye, there is no doubt that your reasoning ability is indeed outstanding and admirable. However, sometimes your overly sharp words may inadvertently cause some unnecessary trouble, so you still need to be a little careful."

He was very optimistic about the famous detective who saved his daughter, and was full of gratitude and admiration for him from the bottom of his heart.

So, if possible, he really didn't want to see Bai Ye imprisoned because of some unexpected circumstances.

After all, it would be totally unworthy for Bai Ye to bear an undeserved crime just because of a morally corrupt and narrow-minded scum like Takasugi Toshihiko!
Officer Megure thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Brother Bai Ye, Inspector Matsumoto is right. Our goal is to uncover the truth and let the criminals receive the punishment they deserve, but in the process, we must try to avoid unnecessary risks. Although your words can hit the nail on the head, sometimes they can easily intensify conflicts. You still have to be careful."

Bai Ye turned his head slightly and looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Officer Megure, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Inspector Matsumoto and Officer Megure, I will pay attention. But you also know that when facing a guy like Takasugi Toshihiko who is completely blinded by hatred, sometimes it really takes some fierce words to stimulate him in order to wake him up from the chaos and realize his mistakes."

Officer Megure scratched his head and said, "Brother Baiye, that's what you said, but you still have to be cautious and keep a good balance. After all, the psychological state of each criminal is different, so we can't generalize."

"Besides, we are solving a case here, not fighting. Don't let your good intentions lead to bad results."

Bai Ye nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Officer Megure. I will pay more attention to the methods and approaches in handling future cases to ensure that I can reveal the truth while avoiding unnecessary trouble."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded slightly and said nothing more.

As long as the means taken are appropriate and do not lead to any serious adverse consequences, he naturally would not mind Bai Ye using such methods to try to redeem the souls of those who have committed crimes and lead them onto the right path.

After all, isn't it the duty of a police officer to persuade people to be good and guide those who have gone astray back on track?

However, based on his understanding of Takasugi Toshihiko's previous bad deeds, he really didn't think that Takasugi Toshihiko was the kind of person who could easily wake up and repent.

After all, judging from Takasugi Toshihiko's past actions, he had already fallen deeper and deeper into the dark abyss of hatred, almost to the point where he could not extricate himself.

What's more, deep down in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's heart, he didn't think that someone like Takasugi Toshihiko deserved redemption.

In his opinion, the cold prison is the best destination for the other party. Only there will he pay the price for his crimes!
