Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 224 Is She Really a Boy?
"Eri, what's wrong with you..." Maori Kogoro glanced back and forth between Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri, and finally understood, "You two..."

Although Kisaki Eri felt a little embarrassed, she gradually got used to it and went downstairs by herself.

After she left, Maori Kogoro hugged Lin Xiuyi's neck, his face full of annoyance: "Damn it, I'm one step behind you again! No, I have to go find Liuli now!"

Having said that, the guy ran downstairs in a hurry.

"Hey, take it easy, don't scare Liuli!" Lin Xiuyi looked at his friend's hurried back and reminded him with a smile.

……

When Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri rushed to the Beika Central Hospital, it was still early. The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant and seemed a bit deserted.

Mr. Aso had not yet brought his wife and daughter over, so Lin Xiuyi walked into Tozawa Chikage's ward and briefly told her what happened last night.

"I didn't expect that their so-called way to make money was actually drug trafficking," Tozawa Chikage shook her head, her face full of disgust, "These guys are really bastards."

"Also, I told Mr. Aso that you are the granddaughter of a wealthy antique dealer and are planning to donate money for Chengshi's medical treatment," Lin Xiuyi asked tentatively, "The money should be no problem, right?"

"Don't worry, I've almost recovered. This little money won't bother me," Tozawa Chikage said, putting his hands on his hips, straightening his back, and humming complacently. "I've been looking up information and choosing a target these days. I'll pay him the medical expenses in three to five days at the shortest, and no more than ten days at the latest."

"You'd better be careful when you steal...do things," Lin Xiuyi warned, "If you get caught, I can't help you."

"Humph, who needs your help?" Tomizawa Chikage raised his chin and said confidently, "How could these useless Japanese policemen possibly catch me?"

Kisaki Eri didn't like Tozawa Chikage's identity as a phantom thief, and naturally couldn't stand her arrogance. She was just about to make a sarcastic remark.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a cute little girl ran in with a happy face.

"Sister Qianying, the nurse just told me that my parents will come to see me soon, and my sister will also come with me. I haven't seen my sister for more than a year."

After speaking excitedly, the little girl finally noticed Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri standing in the ward.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and then she lowered her head shyly, her two little hands twisting the corners of her clothes nervously.

"What a cute little sister!" Kisaki Eri's eyes lit up and a gentle smile appeared on her face. While praising her, she was about to squat down and hug this cute little girl.

Lin Xiuyi hurriedly stopped her and whispered, "He is Cheng Shi."

"Huh?" Kisaki Eri's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth slightly open, her face filled with disbelief. "She... No, he's actually a boy?"

"Ah."

Lin Xiuyi and Tomizawa Chikage nodded together.

"How can a boy be so cute?" The corners of Hibiki's mouth twitched, her expression filled with disbelief. "He looks exactly like a girl!"

"But, but I'm really a boy," Masashi Miura said with courage. His voice was a little timid and there was a hint of nervousness on his face.

At this time, someone outside the ward was calling Chengshi's name. After hearing it, the little guy first said to Tomizawa Chikage, "It's Daddy's voice," and then ran out of the ward excitedly.

"You two have a really good relationship," Lin Xiu said with a smile. "This child is so pitiful," Fu Ze Qian Ying sighed softly, his eyes filled with pity and heartache. "Because of his health, he has spent most of his time in the hospital since he was born."

"Despite this, the child has always been optimistic and often comforts other patients."

"He is indeed a strong and good boy," Kisaki Eri nodded in agreement, "it's worth it for Shuichi to take the risk for him."

"Let's go meet Mr. Aso," Lin Xiuyi suggested, "so that he can feel more at ease."

……

"Thank you for your generosity."

After Lin Xiuyi introduced Tozawa Chie to the Aso couple, their faces were full of gratitude. They kept bowing, bending their bodies low, and kept saying words of gratitude.

"Without your help, we don't know what would have become of our family."

When he said this, Mr. Aso's eyes were red, and he was speaking the truth.

If Lin Xiuyi had not told him in advance that someone was willing to pay for Chengshi's treatment, he might have been arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department for assisting Kameyama and others in drug trafficking, and would have been awaiting severe punishment by law.

Mrs. Aso, standing by, could no longer suppress her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.

Last night's experience seemed like a terrible nightmare to her, and the appearance of Chikage Tozawa was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving their family hope.

"Thank you, sister, for saving my brother," Cheng Shi's sister also imitated her parents and bowed solemnly to express her gratitude.

Although Xiao Chengshi didn't understand the situation, he saw his parents and sister bowing to express their gratitude, so he followed suit.

"You are too polite. It was not me who decided to help Chengshi, but my grandfather," Tozawa Chikage helped the family of four up and hurriedly signaled to Lin Xiuyi.

"Mr. Aso," Lin Xiuyi said, changing the subject, "after what happened on Yueying Island, I wonder what your plans are next?"

"Although Kameyama and the others have been arrested, my piano recital will still go on as planned," Mr. Aso said with a determined look, his face revealing his dedication to music. "I'll be going abroad for a performance around next Wednesday. My wife will be taking care of Chengshi here. With what happened on the island, it's not easy for us to go back for the time being."

"Grandpa said that Chengshi's medical expenses will be sent within ten days," Tozawa Chikage patted his chest and promised, "Mr. Aso can rest assured when he goes abroad."

"Thank you so much!" Hearing the girl's assurance, Mr. Aso bowed again in gratitude. "I wonder where Mr. Tozawa lives. My husband and I would like to take Chengshi to visit him and thank him in person."

"Let's forget about this," Tozawa Chikage glanced at Lin Xiuyi, remembering the character he had created for himself, "Grandpa will definitely think of my father when he sees Chengshi..."

Mr. Aso then remembered the unfortunate experience of "antique dealer Mr. Toizawa" and hurriedly apologized.

After a few more polite words, the Aso couple said goodbye and left with their children.

"Huh, he's finally gone," Tozawa Chikage breathed a sigh of relief, then complained, "Why are you adding such a persona to me for no reason? I was just planning to quietly send it to Aso's house after I was discharged from the hospital and got the money..."
