I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 356 Rum's Invitation (2 Updates)
The morning sunlight streamed through the classroom windows as Shiraishi E twirled her pen, savoring the charm of Yukiko.

As the math teacher on the podium was explaining trigonometric functions, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He secretly took out his phone and saw that it was Xiaolan calling.

Just as he was about to leave the classroom under the pretext of going to the restroom, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Shiraishi E dismissed the idea, and after watching the teacher step down from the podium, he answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Shiraishi-kun!" Ran's exasperated voice came through the phone: "Dad, Conan, and the others...they fell out of the helicopter! They're in the hospital now!!"

Shiraishi E was clearly surprised when she heard the news.

Wasn't Zeki Kohei already paralyzed from the waist down after his own collision?
How did this murder still happen?
With this question in mind, he said, "Okay, I'll go over now."

After hanging up the phone, Shiraishi E took leave and went to Beika Central Hospital again.

Shiraishi E pushed open the ward door and went inside.

What came into view was Kogoro Mouri, his head wrapped in bandages, leaning against the headboard with his right leg in a cast hanging in mid-air.

On the hospital bed next to him, Conan was also awake, with several bandages wrapped around his forehead and his glasses perched crookedly on his nose.

Ran and Eri, whose face was pale, sat on the nearby rest chairs.

Seeing Emi Shiraishi enter, Kogoro Mori weakly waved: "Yo, Shiraishi kid."

After greeting the others, Shiraishi E looked at Mouri Kogoro and asked, "How is the situation? Is it serious?"

"The doctor said there's no danger to his life," Ran shook her head and said, "but Dad has a few fractures, and Conan hit his head and will be fine after a few days of rest."

Shiraishi then asked, "What exactly happened? I heard you fell from the helicopter?"

Kogoro Mouri sighed and, looking dejected, recounted what had happened.

This morning, Kogoro Mouri and Conan closely protected Hiroki Tsuji to prevent him from being harmed.

Hiroki Tsuji was going to practice helicopter flight, so the two of them had no choice but to follow him.

However, none of them expected that the murderer had tampered with Tsuji Hiroki's eye drops, replacing them with pupil-dilating medication.

Hiroki Tsuji was unable to fly the helicopter, and it looked like they were about to crash and die. At this moment, Conan stepped forward, took the control stick, and made an emergency landing.

The helicopter eventually made a successful emergency landing, but they were also badly injured in the fall.

Ran's face turned pale, her fingers twisting tightly together: "That was too dangerous! We're so grateful to Conan this time, if it weren't for his helicopter skills..."

Conan noticed Eri's surprised look and quickly said, "Ran-neechan, you've misunderstood! It was Mr. Tsuji Hiroki who taught me how to do it. I was just following his instructions!"

Eri Kisaki shifted her gaze to Kogoro Mouri and snorted, "That's still better than some detective with acrophobia... who doesn't know his own limitations and just goes up there like that."

Hearing Eri Kisaki mocking him, Kogoro Mouri retorted angrily, "This isn't about being afraid of heights!! I'm sitting in the back, not as small as Conan, how could I possibly squeeze into the driver's seat?"

Eri pushed up her glasses, and just as she was about to say something, Ran interrupted, "Alright, alright, just shut up! This isn't the time for normal stuff."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shiraishi E, signaling her to quickly change the subject.

Shiraishi E immediately said, "The important thing now is to catch the culprit. That eye drop..."

"It must have been Murakami Takeshi who did it!" Kogoro Mori slammed his fist on the hospital bed and said, "He must have secretly switched the eye drops beforehand. What a cunning fellow!!"

Conan chimed in, "That bottle of eye drops was placed on the helicopter by Mr. Tsuji Hiroki beforehand... It's likely that the culprit tampered with it beforehand."

Everywhere, Shiraishi E nodded in deep agreement.

Sawaki Kohei must have secretly changed his eye drops before he was crippled from the waist down by his own accident.

However, this way, even Conan wouldn't doubt Sawaki Kohei's criminal identity. After chatting for a while, Eri Kisaki, who was already injured, felt tired and asked to return to her ward.

Seeing this, Xiaolan helped her mother back home.

As soon as Eri left, Kogoro Mori quickly said, "Brother Shiraishi, hurry up and buy me a walking stick!!"

"You still want to investigate?" Shiraishi E looked at the disabled but determined Kogoro Mouri and couldn't help but admire him.

"Of course!" Kogoro Mori said angrily, "How can I lie here before we've even caught Murakami Jo?"

Considering that there was basically no danger ahead, Shiraishi E nodded in agreement.

Just as he went out to buy a cane, his phone rang again.

Upon closer inspection, it was a text message from Shiho Miyano.

The text message was simple: Rum was trying to contact him again, followed by a series of encrypted phone calls.

"Why are you contacting me again?" Shiraishi E was quite surprised when she saw this.

Is there some urgent operation that urgently needs a batch of weapons?
Driven by this curiosity, Shiraishi Hui bought a brand new phone from the bandit shop, found a quiet and secluded place, and made the call.

The call was answered quickly, and Shiraishi E changed her voice, saying, "What do you want?"

"I need your help with something," Rum said directly on the other end of the phone.

"What's the deal?"

"Help us rescue Gin."

"..." Shiraishi E was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Rum to make such a request.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

He was quite familiar with the Black Organization.

Putting aside everything else, they planted a Curaçao within the police force.

The fact that the other party was able to obtain the list of undercover agents in "Zero the Enforcer" is enough to show that the other party holds a high position in the public security system.

Vermouth's unparalleled disguise skills, coupled with Curaçao as an inside agent.

Logically speaking, rescuing Gin shouldn't be a problem for them.

Why did they suddenly contact me?

Seeing that the ruthless bandit Azu hadn't responded for a long time, Rum on the other end of the phone said, "We'll discuss the details when we meet tonight."

“Okay.” Shiraishi E immediately agreed.

If Rum really came out in person, he could just shoot him dead!
Then go and shoot Gin dead too.

If the second and third leaders are gone, the organization will start to fall into chaos, and then it will have no time to take care of the Miyano sisters.

After learning the time and place of the meeting that evening, Shiraishi E hung up the phone and then destroyed her phone.

He then bought a pair of crutches at a medical supply store and returned them to Kogoro Mouri.

Despite the pain, Kogoro Mori changed back into his own clothes and then left the ward with his crutches.

Of course, Conan, with bandages wrapped around his head, also left the ward.

The two ignored their injuries and continued their investigation.

This filled Shiraishi E with admiration!
