Gin doesn't want to work hard

"If you are willing to go to the United States, we will arrange a completely new identity for you and ensure your safety."

Hearing his words, Kurosawa turned his head.

Shuichi Akai noticed his slightly reddened eyes.

Mr. Kurosawa, are you crying?

Is it because of Gin?

Shuichi Akai was taken aback for a moment, but didn't show it.

Her voice just became softer.

"Don't worry, quite a few people have joined the witness protection program."

"We are confident in our ability to ensure your safety."

Kurosawa did not immediately agree upon hearing this, but instead asked as if he had thought of something.

"Ms. Judy appeared with the fake Dr. Araide."

"So, is the new doctor also under your protection?"

Shuichi Akai was surprised by Kurosawa's keen insight.

However, Mr. Kurosawa seems to care more about his friends than himself.

Shuichi Akai thought of how Kurosawa was threatened by Gin.

A certain answer seems to be on the verge of being revealed.

"Mr. Akai?"

Kurosawa's slightly puzzled voice interrupted Shuichi Akai's thoughts.

He then realized that he had been silent for a while.

Shuichi Akai put aside his thoughts for the moment and replied.

"That's right, he's in the United States right now."

"However, this matter needs to be kept secret for now."

Kurosawa nodded, indicating that he would not tell anyone.

Seeing that Kurosawa didn't intend to speak again, Shuichi Akai asked once more.

"how about you?"

Would you like to join the witness protection program?

"We can help you arrange to see a doctor near the new doctor."

Shin-Ide Tomoaki was clearly not as attractive to Kurosawa.

He refused without hesitation.

"I'm not leaving."

"You are in a very dangerous situation..."

Shuichi Akai tried to persuade him.

No, you are the one in danger.

Kurosawa's expression was somewhat strange.

He gave Shuichi Akai a deep look and spoke again.

"I will not leave."

Shuichi Akai sensed Kurosawa's determination.

The thoughts that had been interrupted by Kurosawa earlier resurfaced.

He was silent for a moment, then a certain possibility came to mind.

"Do you not want to leave, or are you unable to leave?"

Chapter 218 Leaving

I sensed that Shuichi Akai was making things up in his head.

Kurosawa fell silent again.

He simply turned his head away and switched to a slower-paced game.

Shuichi Akai looked at Kurosawa, who had his back to him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He had gotten used to Kurosawa's habit of muting his microphone at the drop of a hat.

So, is Kurosawa "unwilling to leave" or "unable to leave"?

Considering Kurosawa's slightly reddened eyes, Shuichi Akai was more inclined to believe the latter.

Judging from Kurosawa's behavior, he is clearly afraid of Gin.

Fearful yet determined to stay.

It's clear that Gin threatened Kurosawa with something.

What Kurosawa cares about are simply the people around him.

They used people around Kurosawa to force him to obey...

Gin's methods were as despicable and vile as ever.

But why did Gin go to such lengths to coerce Kurosawa?

Considering the striking resemblance between the two, Shuichi Akai had a guess.

For Gin, the existence of "Kurosawa Jin" is equivalent to a perfect backup identity.

Similarly, Kurosawa is a perfect escape route for Gin.

He could have easily let Kurosawa die, and then lived on in Kurosawa's place.

Although, given Gin's personality, this possibility is not very high.

But Gin is capable of doing something like having Kurosawa impersonate him to lure out some dangerous enemies and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Although he guessed Gin's thoughts, Shuichi Akai couldn't force Kurosawa to leave if he was willing to cooperate.

Moreover, if they forcibly take Kurosawa away, Conan and the others would likely encounter danger.

After all, Gin's threat is never just empty talk.

Shuichi Akai can imagine.

They took Kurosawa away in the morning, and in the afternoon, Professor Agasa's house was bombed.

However, even though Gin had clearly seen him and knew that he would have contact with Kurosawa, he still let Kurosawa come back so casually.

This shows that they've decided Kurosawa wouldn't dare disobey their wishes!

This practice of using human lives as bargaining chips is arrogant and reckless, as if mocking his incompetence.

The image of Gin's sneer flashed through Shuichi Akai's mind.

His fingers were slightly bent, and his eyes were dark.

Gin...

Shuichi Akai murmured the name, his fighting spirit burning fiercely within him.

He will absolutely, absolutely stop him!

……

"Ah!"

Kurosawa sneezed.

He put down the game console and rubbed his nose.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and Kurosawa turned around to look.

However, Shuichi Akai struggled to get out of bed.

Seeing that he was about to go out, Kurosawa disagreed.

“Mr. Akai, the doctor said you can’t move around too much.”

Given her physical condition, wouldn't it be better for her to stay in bed and rest?

Going out so late at night, what if something happens? Wouldn't all that money spent bringing him to the hospital have been for nothing?

Besides, with Shuichi Akai gone, who will attract Conan's attention? Where will he find his amusement?

Shuichi Akai stood there for a while, then turned to look at Kurosawa.

"I still have some things to deal with."

As he spoke, he put the items from the bedside table back on his person.

Shuichi Akai is planning to leave.

Gin may turn his attention back here at any time.

If Gin discovers his existence, Kurosawa's fate will certainly not be good.

Moreover, he also needs a private environment to contact Judy.

Shuichi Akai was still somewhat uneasy about Gin mentioning Jodie.

Kurosawa watched Akai Shuichi's actions, then silently got up and pressed the call button with a "click".

Soon, a nurse knocked on the door and came in.

"How can I help you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shuichi Akai standing on the ground, about to walk out.

The nurse remembered this patient.

She still remembers Shuichi Akai, covered in blood and unconscious.
