Shuichi Akai slowly opened his eyes.

The sounds of medical equipment in his ears and the smell of disinfectant in his nose made him realize that he had been taken to the hospital.

He is currently lying on his side in the hospital bed due to injuries to his back and arms.

Shuichi Akai tentatively raised his right hand and, unsurprisingly, saw the plaster cast used for fixation.

His clothes were also changed into the hospital's standard patient gown.

His upper body was wrapped in bandages, and you could faintly smell the medicine.

As for his face, although he couldn't see it, he could feel the treated wounds and the gauze covering them.

"you're awake?"

A voice came from beside him, and Akai Hideki instinctively turned his head to look.

It's that kid named Conan.

He was sitting on the hospital bed next to his.

After receiving a message from Professor Agasa, Conan and Ai Haibara rushed to the hospital.

While Shuichi Akai was receiving treatment, Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara forced Kurosawa to undergo a check-up.

Conan was left alone in Shuichi Akai's hospital room.

Shuichi Akai tried to get up, but Conan stopped him.

"Your injury is quite serious, so it's best not to move around too much."

Conan was telling the truth.

In addition to the external injuries, Shuichi Akai's internal organs also suffered considerable impact, with varying degrees of damage in different parts.

For him right now, lying still is the best option.

Shuichi Akai stopped what he was told.

He looked at Conan and asked.

"Do I still have the things I had on me before?"

Conan shook his head.

Shuichi Akai was not surprised by this result.

After all, it's remarkable that he survived such a close encounter with an explosion.

"Little friend, can I borrow your cell phone?"

Shuichi Akai continued.

He needs to contact Judy.

Gin's previous words bothered him.

He had to make sure Judy was safe.

Just now.

"Click."

The handle of the ward door was pressed down.

Kurosawa and the others walked in.

Shuichi Akai turned his head to look, but accidentally met Ai Haibara's gaze.

Ai Haibara glanced at him, then coldly looked away, as if she didn't recognize him at all.

But in fact, Ai Haibara recognized Shuichi Akai the moment she saw him.

Using her relationship with her sister, she infiltrated the organization as an undercover agent under the alias Moroboshi Dai.

To be honest, Ai Haibara doesn't have a very good impression of Shuichi Akai.

Regardless of whether he was truly sincere towards his sister later on.

But from the very beginning, he approached his sister with a specific purpose in mind.

Since his defection, Ai Haibara has never heard from him again.

Her sister was the same.

Tragically, her older sister seems to have always harbored feelings for Shuichi Akai.

But none of this matters anymore.

After all, her sister was already dead.

Ai Haibara has no intention of getting involved with Shuichi Akai anymore.

Moreover, the faint aura of organization emanating from him made her very uncomfortable.

So Ai Haibara simply stopped looking at him and went to sit down in the corner of the ward.

When Dr. Agasa saw that Shuichi Akai had woken up, he quickly took two steps forward and said somewhat apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Akai."

"I heard everything from Kurosawa; it was you who helped him."

"I misunderstood you and even knocked you unconscious. I'm so sorry!"

Shuichi Akai remembered the person who attacked him before he lost consciousness.

So that person was Professor Agasa?

But you can't blame him.

After all, he was the one who misunderstood Kurosawa first.

Shuichi Akai then shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

However, when Kurosawa was mentioned, Akai Shuichi immediately looked behind Professor Agasa.

Kurosawa was standing there.

Seemingly noticing Shuichi Akai's gaze, Kurosawa also looked at him, his eyes filled with a question.

"Mr. Kurosawa, how is your injury?"

Thinking of Kurosawa's previous coughing up of blood, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but ask a question.

Upon hearing his words, Conan also shifted his attention to that.

Just as Kurosawa was about to answer, Professor Agasa spoke first.

"The external injuries are not serious, but the internal injuries are quite severe."

"In addition to multiple internal organ ruptures, he also suffered a mild concussion."

"Like Mr. Akai, he needs to rest."

Upon hearing Professor Agasa's words, Conan fell into deep thought.

Internal organ damage and mild concussion, but the external injuries were not serious...

The most likely explanation is that it was subjected to a single, massive impact.

The simplest example is being hit by a car. Sometimes it doesn't look like anything from the outside, and the person can even walk freely, but in reality, their internal organs have already started to bleed profusely.

This situation is the most dangerous.

However, Kurosawa's condition is certainly not that serious yet.

He wasn't hit by a car either.

As for the cause of his internal injuries...

Conan recalled the scene when he saw "Kurosawa" staggering to his feet in the alley.

He must have been injured at that time.

As for the culprit, it must be Gin!

Even though Kurosawa was standing right in front of him.

But Conan still couldn't put his mind at ease.

Gin has had contact with Kurosawa.

What did they talk about?

What consensus was reached?

Or rather, what did Kurosawa promise Gin?

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai was also pondering the reason for Kurosawa's injury.

Like Conan, he thought of the scene where Kurosawa was knocked to the ground by Gin.

Kurosawa fainted at that moment, which means Gin must have used a lot of force.

However, besides that, Shuichi Akai also thought about the time he slammed Kurosawa against the wall.

This was the direct cause of Kurosawa vomiting blood.

Shuichi Akai still felt that he bore some responsibility for Kurosawa's situation.

Ever since I last saw Kurosawa being kidnapped but not resisting at all.

Shuichi Akai treated him as an ordinary person with quick reflexes.

He then said seriously.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kurosawa."

"But given your current condition, I think it would be better for you to be hospitalized for treatment."

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai is trying to persuade Kurosawa to be hospitalized.

Conan had already run over to Professor Agasa and was asking him questions in a low voice.

"Doctor, have you completed the hospital admission procedures for Kurosawa?"

Professor Agasa nodded and gave an "OK" sign.
