Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 708 This doctor has a problem!

however.

It's too late.

Conan pulled out another pill and shoved it into Saijo Taiga's mouth with lightning speed.

A moment later, Saijo Taiga foamed at the mouth again, and his body convulsed as if he had been electrocuted.

This continued for several minutes. Saijo Taiga's hair stood on end, and static electricity was generated when you touched him.

I don’t understand the pharmacology behind it, but Saijo Taiga’s condition has indeed improved dramatically. The most obvious sign is that his upper and lower eyelids have started to droop.

I believe it won't be long before I wake up.

Just as Conan and Hattori smiled, they suddenly felt a tremor beneath their feet, followed by a strange booming sound.

The sound was like the sound of firecrackers being set off inside a sealed bottle during the Chinese New Year.

"Was it an explosion?"

Conan realized something, and the overhead light suddenly went out. Only the heart rate monitor, thanks to its spare battery, was still working normally, preventing the room from becoming completely dark.

Conan turned on his flashlight and looked at Hattori Heiji.

Although it was too dark to see his face, he knew that the other person shared the same thoughts as him.

Someone is doing bad things, and the target is likely related to Saijo Taiga.

There's no reason why, it's just a gut feeling.

Detective intuition!

"Inspector Ōtaki, notify the Kyoto Prefectural Police immediately! Something bad is likely going to happen here!"

"whats the matter!?"

Inspector Ōtaki was full of questions, but out of trust in Heiji Hattori, he immediately took out his phone.

"Someone might be planning to kidnap the sick inmates!"

Heiji Hattori pressed his ear against the door, listening to the sounds outside.

His dark skin blended perfectly into the environment; if it weren't for Conan's watch-shaped spotlight, he probably wouldn't have been seen at all.

"Brother, time is short. Aren't we being too high-profile? What if we attract the attention of those high-ranking officials in Kyoto?"

Even vodka was somewhat worried.

Although he was the one who pressed the switch that caused the substation to explode, he still couldn't help but ask questions after he finished.

"If we act swiftly and decisively, how would they know it's related to us?!"

"And the boss takes this matter very seriously."

The two strolled casually through the hospital, with doctors and nurses occasionally running by, and sometimes some family members accompanying them.

After all, for a hospital, losing power is like the sky falling down.

Moreover, and more importantly, the backup power supply was not activated.

The main power supply and the backup power supply belong to different circuits. If both power supplies fail at the same time, it cannot be explained by a simple accident.

"Dean, something bad has happened! It seems like the phone line has been cut off, and there's no cell phone signal either."

"Then run out, no one will stop you."

The age spots on the hospital director's face looked particularly terrifying under the green light of the emergency exit.

With such a major incident at the hospital, he, as the hospital director, cannot shirk his responsibility.

He could only pray that no important figures or their families came to the hospital today, otherwise the title of hospital director might have to be handed over to the vice director tomorrow.

Of course, this was just a minor incident.

Conan and Hattori already knew about this situation in advance. Inspector Otaki, carrying a body weighing over 200 pounds, ran outside!

Who told the phone to have no signal?
Given this situation, Inspector Otaki also believed Hattori Heiji's guess that someone was planning to kidnap the sick inmates!

Conan and Heiji Hattori weren't just sitting there waiting foolishly.

Since the hospital was exposed, the wards must have been leaked as well. Perhaps someone has already arrived by now, and they must evacuate Saijo Taiga in advance.

A man wearing a white coat pushed a medical bed frame out. Conan hid under the bed, while Taiga Saijo, who was already somewhat conscious, lay on the bed.

"Hey, what happened?"

Saijo Taiga felt completely weak, as if he were terminally ill.

Because it was covered with a white sheet and the power was out, the surroundings were pitch black, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Hey, what exactly are you guys trying to do?! I really don't know anything about that thing. Even if we didn't find it, you can't blame me for it, right?"

Saijo Taiga's tone was pleading. She tried to control her limbs but found that her hands and feet were bound by something, making it impossible for her to move. She could only listen to the strange rolling sound as it led her into the unknown darkness.

However, these words caught Hattori Heiji's attention, and he suddenly stopped moving.

What exactly is "that thing" that made Saijo Taiga so vulnerable? His tone when he called me before wasn't like this at all.

It gives off a feeling of a newlywed daughter-in-law being wronged.

However, the occasion was inappropriate, and asking at this time would be too dangerous.

"Kudo!"

Conan poked half his head out from under the bed and, using the light from his wristwatch-shaped spotlight, fired a tranquilizer dart.

Just as Saijo Taiga was beginning to see, a sudden bright light blinded him, and then a wave of drowsiness washed over him. Before he could beg for mercy again, he drifted off to sleep once more. "Luckily, I didn't make too much of a commotion."

However, the commotion in Saijo Taiga still caught someone's attention.

On his way to the elevator, Hattori Heiji suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator doors opened ahead, and hurried, forceful footsteps could be heard.

Gin came up from the elevator, and Hattori's cart happened to pass by him. In the instant they passed each other, Gin sensed that something was wrong.

Pushing the patient out at this point would be suicidal, wouldn't it?
Although the hospital was without power, a ward or operating room is still better than a corridor.

More importantly, he didn't smell a strong disinfectant odor.

Doctors and nurses often have a strong smell of disinfectant on them because they spend a lot of time in the hospital. This smell is not easily dispelled even after taking a shower. But this white coat with the mask hanging crookedly doesn't have this smell.

"Wait a moment!"

Gin reached out and placed his hand on the cart.

Under the car, Conan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He was very familiar with this voice.

—That damn Gin!!!

"Hey, what are you doing? This patient has a problem with his trachea and urgently needs an oxygen machine. If you block him like this, he could die."

A hint of unease flashed in Hattori Heiji's eyes, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

The key point is that he doesn't know Gin or Vodka, so he's not as afraid as Conan.

"what."

"It's actually a person!?"

Vodka exclaimed in surprise.

Actually, he was a little scared just now because he saw a white coat running away. He only felt at ease after getting closer and seeing Hattori Heiji's eyes and hearing the voice.

A chill suddenly ran down his spine. Vodka noticed his older brother's stare and quickly coughed lightly before continuing, "We are from the Kyoto Prefectural Police. I am Inspector Ayanokoji. We suspect you of harboring human traffickers, and I need to check the patient's identity."

Vodka lies without batting an eye. What is Ayanokouji's body type? What is his body type?
But none of that matters. He only needs one reason: no matter how the other person answers, he must confirm the identity of the person in bed.

If the other party knows what's good for them, then it's easy to handle; if they don't, then the only option is to have them shot.

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched. If he hadn't known Ayanokouji, he would have been completely taken aback by what the other man said.

He was about to retort and put on a reasoning show when his trouser leg was suddenly tugged.

"It's Inspector Ayanokoji! That's great! I've been waiting for you! This is the patient, Saijo Taiga. Please take him away quickly. We're worried he'll wake up and run away. The hospital is too chaotic right now; only the police station is safe!"

"Uh?"

This time, switching to vodka left him a bit confused.

Anyone who isn't a fool could see the flaw in those words, but the other party neither exposed it nor ran away, and actually handed over Saijo Taiga to them.

This doctor is suspicious!

A ferocious look flashed across Vodka's face, his arm was already at his waist, and he was about to draw his pistol.

However, Gin preemptively grabbed his shoulder, pulled back the white cloth to confirm that it was indeed Saijo Taiga, and said in a strange tone, "It's Saijo Taiga, take him away."

"Okay."

Vodka was filled with doubts, but he still obediently nodded, handed over the cart, and returned the way he came.

Only after creating some distance and entering the elevator did Vodka speak up, asking, "Brother, that guy was clearly suspicious. Even if he wasn't a policeman, he was definitely someone connected to the organization. Why didn't you take him down?"

He made a throat-slitting motion.

"This is Kyoto, and there are many powerful people in the hospital. It's not advisable to cause trouble. If we can capture the person without taking action, we can save a lot of trouble."

"Finding Saijo Taiga doesn't mean we've found Daimon Yoshiaki. We still have activities in Kyoto, so let's not attract too much attention for now," Gin said casually.

Killing a police officer is not the same as killing an ordinary person. Whether it's for face or something else, the Kyoto police will go crazy.

"Big brother has the foresight."

Vodka chuckled and played the straight man.

On the other side, Heiji Hattori stood in the corridor, watching the other person enter the elevator. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Conan: "They suddenly stopped me, could it be them?"

"Yes, gin and vodka."

The two stood there in silence for a long time.

It's not that they chickened out, it's just that the timing was wrong.

Although Conan is reckless, he clearly knows his own and Hattori Heiji's strengths and weaknesses. Solving cases is easy for him, but when facing top assassins like Gin and Vodka in this situation, the best outcome is to preserve the body intact and send it to the morgue as quickly as possible.

"I never expected that Saijo Taiga would be involved with the Black Organization." Conan sighed with emotion. "Actually, I should have thought of it yesterday. The case at Mount Rokusu even involved snipers. Only the Black Organization has that kind of capability."

"So what should we do now? The person has been taken away, and we can't question them anymore." Hattori's face was grim.

"Do you remember what Saijo Taiga said during his stress response when he first woke up?"

“That thing!”

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up: "He told us to go to Gyokuryu-ji Temple to make the deal at night. Maybe they were knocked unconscious there. If we go to Gyokuryu-ji Temple, we're sure to find something."

"But before that, I need to turn back into an adult and go find Ai Haibara. She has the latest antidote for APTX4869."
