Gin doesn't want to work hard

Conan: ...

Forget it, let’s wait until Kurosawa-kun’s injury heals before dealing with this matter.

"…Then we'll leave first."

Conan said tentatively, expecting some reaction from the two.

Akai Shuichi said nothing.

Kurosawa did respond, but he didn't open his eyes.

Conan: ...Okay.

He turned his head and looked at Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai.

The two of them had reached the door.

Seeing this, Conan did not stay any longer and followed them out.

"Click."

The door closed.

Kurosawa and Akai Shuichi opened their eyes at the same time.

Kurosawa stood up, sat facing Akai Shuichi, and reached into his pocket.

Shuichi Akai watched Kurosawa's actions, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Kurosawa rummaged around and pulled out a handful of odds and ends.

Including a gun, a broken cell phone, a knife and several bullets.

Shuichi Akai looked at all these things and felt that they looked very familiar.

These seem to be his things?

Kurosawa put the things on the bedside table beside him.

"Mr. Akai, these should all be yours."

Shuichi Akai ignored the pile of items and just looked at Kurosawa.

He was waiting for Kurosawa to explain.

"...Gin."

Kurosawa said a name and then fell silent.

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly.

Gin?

Did Gin give these to Kurosawa?

Why did Gin do this?

Akai Shuichi looked at Kurosawa, trying to get an answer from him.

Kurosawa avoided Akai Shuichi's gaze and refused to answer.

Akai Shuichi sighed and changed the question.

"Why did you save me?"

Kurosawa blinked.

"You saved me first."

Akai Shuichi remained unmoved.

"Even if I hadn't shown up at that time, Gin wouldn't have killed you."

Although Gin had already pulled out his gun, Shuichi Akai didn't think he would kill Kurosawa.

To Gin, Kurosawa should be a very important person/chess piece.

Otherwise, Kurosawa would not have the chance to appear here and even save him.

After hearing what Akai Shuichi said, Kurosawa fell silent again.

Looking at Kurosawa who fell into silence again, Akai Shuichi felt tired for the first time in a long time.

The last time he felt this way was when Gin threw all the tasks to him.

Akai Shuichi shook his head, trying to get rid of this strange feeling of familiarity.

He didn't expect Kurosawa to speak on his own initiative.

If he continued asking like this, he might not get a definite answer until tomorrow morning.

Shuichi Akai decided to ask the question in a different way.

First and foremost.

"Does Gin know that you saved me?"

Kurosawa glanced at him and said nothing.

He is thinking.

From Gin's perspective, when a seriously injured Shuichi Akai was lying in front of him, his first reaction would definitely be to send him to death.

If anyone dares to stop him, he will kill that person as well.

Therefore, Gin shouldn't know that Shuichi Akai was rescued by someone.

Kurosawa then shook his head, indicating that Gin didn't know about this.

Shuichi Akai was not surprised by this answer.

Gin even took out a bomb.

It would be strange if he was let off for no apparent reason.

It is possible that Kurosawa saved him secretly without telling Gin.

As for how Kurosawa saved him without telling Gin.

Under the aftermath of the bomb, even Gin couldn't stay sober.

Perhaps Kurosawa took advantage of the time when both he and Gin were unconscious to secretly rescue him.

Akai Shuichi speculated.

As for why his belongings ended up in Kurosawa's hands...

There is a high probability that Kurosawa went back to find Gin after this.

Something must have happened during this period of time, otherwise Kurosawa would not have brought himself to the hospital openly.

He was able to let Kurosawa bring himself to the hospital without any concealment and let Conan and the others follow.

There is only one possibility, Kurosawa knows that Gin will no longer pay attention to this side.

But how did Kurosawa divert Gin's attention?

Akai Shuichi frowned and thought.

……

Kurosawa looked at Akai Shuichi who was frowning, and said nothing.

He turned around, pulled out a mini game console from his pocket, turned it to silent mode and started playing.

The screen of the game console is a bit small, but the pictures on it rotate very quickly.

After a while, Kurosawa felt his eyes a little sore.

He then put down the game console, rubbed his eyes, and wondered whether he should change the game.

Shuichi Akai thought for a while but didn't get an answer.

But it is definitely true that Kurosawa was coerced by Gin.

He looked at Kurosawa, who had his back to him and was looking down, doing something unknown, and spoke.

"Mr. Kurosawa, I would like to invite you to join the witness protection program."

"As long as you are willing to come to the United States, we will arrange a new identity for you and ensure your safety."

Hearing his words, Kurosawa turned around.

Akai Shuichi noticed his slightly red eyes.

Mr. Kurosawa, are you crying?

Is it because of Gin?

Akai Shuu was stunned for a moment, but didn't show it.

It's just that the voice became softer.

"Don't worry, there are many people who have joined the witness protection program."

"We are confident that we can guarantee your safety."

When Kurosawa heard this, he did not agree immediately, but asked as if he had thought of something.

"Teacher Judy showed up with the fake Dr. Akaido."

"Then is Doctor Shinde also under your protection?"

Shuichi Akai was surprised at Kurosawa's sharpness.

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

Shuichi Akai thought of how Kurosawa was threatened by Gin.

Some answer seems to be on the horizon.

"Mr. Akai?"

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

Only then did he realize that he had been silent for a long time.

Akai Shuichi put aside his previous thoughts for the moment and answered.

“Yes, he is in the United States now.”

"However, this matter needs to be kept secret for the time being."

Kurosawa nodded, indicating that he would not tell anyone.

Seeing that Kurosawa had no intention of speaking again, Akai Shuichi asked again.

"how about you?"

"Would you like to enter the witness protection program?"

"We can arrange for you to stay near Dr. Shinde."

It is obvious that Tomoaki Niide is not that attractive to Kurosawa.

He refused without hesitation.

"I'm not leaving."

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

Akai Shuichi tried to persuade.

No, you are the one in danger.

Kurosawa's expression was a little strange.

He looked at Akai Shuichi deeply and said again.

"I will not leave."

Shuichi Akai felt Kurosawa's determination.

The thoughts that were interrupted by Kurosawa before came to mind again.

He was silent for a while and thought of a possibility.

"You don't want to leave, or you can't leave?"
