Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 220 Amuro Asks for Leave

"Rena Mizunashi is dead?" Nagai Akira said with a smile on his cell phone, "I thought she could live for quite some time."

"How do you feel? After all, she is your body's sister." Nagai Mitsuru asked with a smile.

"I only have one sister, and her last name is Nagai." Nagai Akira's answer made Nagai Mitsuru nod in satisfaction.

"By the way, there is an interesting fact. There used to be a detective in the UK named Sherlock Holmes. He helped the police in Scotland Yard find Lupin. There is also an organization called Raven that has been manipulating British politics since World War II." Nagai Akira said with great interest.

Nagai Hikaru slapped his forehead speechlessly: "Okay, this is Lupin's script, don't get involved."

"Just watching the show?"

"If you like, you can help Lupin out once in a while. He and your sister are good drinking buddies."

"Great, I like Goemon."

"…But don't get too involved with them. Their plot is much more brutal than that of the winery. It is common for cannons and tanks to take to the streets." Nagai Mitsuru reminded.

"Hahaha winery, sister's metaphor is really interesting."

After hanging up the phone, Nagai Hikaru touched Sally beside him.

Vodka was happily tying a bow on Sally's tail: "Ah, is it Sally? So cute, I think it will be very suitable for a wedding dress."

Nagai Hikaru leaned sideways on the sofa, shifted his legs, and rested his fingers on his cheeks: "Why did Brother Jin go to the shooting range?"

"Get the feel of holding a gun back?" Vodka took out seven or eight lolita accessories and compared them with Sally's head. "When he used 1634's body before, he also stayed alone at the shooting range for half a day and used more than rounds of bullets to get a feel for it."

Nagai Mitsuru said "oh" and looked at the time. Although yesterday was July 7th, the first launch of the hover car, today is almost October.

"Time flies." Nagai Mitsuru sighed, so only when there are major events can he follow a normal schedule for several days.

Mao Lilan's call came suddenly: "Xiao Guang, we found a cafe where you can watch eagles. The most important thing is that the cafe is in the mountains. You can take Sally to play. Are you interested?"

Nagai Hikaru was somewhat moved.

But he hardened his heart: "Sorry, Xiaolan, I'm not in a good mood these two days and don't want to go out."

"Feeling down? What happened?"

"Nothing... just..." Nagai Hikaru seemed to want to say something, but finally sighed, "Nothing, just have fun."

After hanging up the phone, Nagai Hikaru silently chanted ten times in his heart. The phone rang again. Nagai Hikaru held the phone and vodka, made a gesture of leaving first, and stood up and walked towards the garden: "Conan? What's the matter?"

Conan asked quietly: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen in Nagoya?"

"……nothing."

"Are you home? I'll come over."

"I'm on Dracula's side." Nagai Hikaru's voice was so soft that Conan almost didn't hear it.

"Why did you go back to Dracula?" Conan asked in surprise.

Nagai Hikaru was silent for a long time. Conan took the phone away and checked to make sure it was not hung up. He said twice: "Xiao Guang? Are you still there?"

"Yes." Nagai Mitsuru had almost reached the garden. "Brother Bai is dead."

Conan was confused for a moment: "...Haba? What happened to him?"

"Killed." Nagai Hikaru's voice was still soft, "He was killed by Akai."

Conan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Two bullets... He was shot twice." Nagai Mitsuru asked tremblingly, "Why? Why, Shinichi, why do you say?"

It has been too long since Nagai Hikaru called this name. Conan was still confused, his head buzzing, and he repeated after Nagai Hikaru: "Why?"

"Shinichi, I want to kill him. I really want to kill him." Nagai Hikaru asked with sobs, "Can I kill him?"

Conan panicked: "Xiao Guang, don't cry, wait for me, I'll go find out what's going on! Wait for me, I'll go right away..."

After hanging up the phone, Conan picked up his skateboard and rushed down from the third floor. Mao Lilan, who was in the office on the second floor, saw Conan coming down from the upstairs and was surprised that he had just run up and down again. She exclaimed: "Conan, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Professor Agasa's place, Sister Xiaolan, I won't be back for dinner." Conan almost fell down when he ran down from the second floor. He held onto the wall to steady his body. He took a breath and ran to the first floor.

Azusa Enomoto just came out with a kettle to water a row of bushes at the door. When she saw Conan, she greeted him, "Good afternoon, Conan. Are you going out?"

Conan paused for a moment and turned to look at Enomoto Azusa: "Sister Azusa, is Mr. Amuro here?"

"Ah, he asked for leave, saying he wanted to rest for a few days." Enomoto Azusa sighed, "He said he was a little tired and didn't want to work anymore. I was shocked, thinking he wanted to resign. But it turned out to be a leave, and he didn't know how long he would be." The water in the kettle had been poured out, and Enomoto Azusa held his face with his hands, feeling helpless, "Of course I can tell from his voice that he is really tired. Maybe it's October sickness?"

"…There is no such thing as October disease, there is only May disease." Conan waved his hand, "Did he just say that he was tired?"

"Yeah, it was quite sudden. Although he asked for leave yesterday, he originally said he would only take one day off." Azusa Enomoto was a little worried. "From the sound of it, he seemed to be in a bad condition, but he refused my visit."

"Is that so? Thank you, Sister Xiaozi. I have something to do and I'll leave first." Conan tried to smile, got on his skateboard and walked away quickly.

Azusa Enomoto looked at Conan who was flying away quickly and shook her head with a headache: "I don't know how long Mr. Amuro will rest. The sandwiches and desserts I made are not as delicious as his. Will he have something to do when he comes back?"

Conan arrived at Kudo's house at a high speed on a skateboard, broke open the courtyard gate, arrived at the door of the house, unlocked it, entered the door and ran inside.

I noticed two pairs of shoes neatly placed in the entrance.

Conan looked at it and said, "Dad? Mom?"

"Ah, Shinichi." Kudo Yukiko's voice came, and she was holding a tray with a glass of water and a box of pills on it.

Conan saw at a glance that it was painkillers: "Akai is injured?"

"Yes, he didn't want to go to the hospital. We received an email asking us to come over yesterday night. When we arrived, we saw Mr. Akai lying in the study, shot." Kudo Yukiko frowned and walked towards the bedroom on the first floor where Shuichi Akai was staying temporarily with medicine. "From the traces, Yusaku said that someone broke in and had a fight with Mr. Akai in the study, and left after shooting."

Conan put the skateboard aside and followed Kudo Yukiko: "Is he awake?"

Yukiko Kudo shook her head. "He's still unconscious and has lost too much blood. He was shot in the shoulder, but luckily it was a penetrating wound so there was no need to remove the bullet. But we didn't start treatment until we arrived, and judging by the amount of blood, he must have been bleeding for a while. When we arrived, we were going to call an ambulance, but he woke up for a short while and said he didn't want to go to the hospital, and then he continued to be unconscious."

"Who sent you the email?"

"Yusaku said it might have been sent by the murderer." Kudo Yukiko also found it incredible, "Maybe the other party didn't want him to die, or didn't know whether he should be allowed to die?"

After opening the bedroom door, Conan saw Kudo Yusaku sitting beside Akai Shuichi's bed.

"Are you still not awake?" asked Kudo Yukiko.

Kudo Yusaku shook his head and looked at Conan: "Shinichi, do you know what's going on?"

Conan looked at Shuichi Akai who was lying quietly on the bed, and really wanted to wake him up right now and ask him what was going on.

But he just shook his head: "I don't know now. Dad, who do you think shot him in the study?"

Kudo Yusaku frowned and said, "I don't know, but he should be very strong. That man had a fight with Mr. Akai in the study, and he fired several shots."

Yukiko Kudo placed the tray on the bedside table, "Okay, he can take a painkiller as soon as he wakes up, and maybe he'll feel better."

"Thank you for your hard work, dear." Kudo Yusaku nodded gently.

"What are you talking about? You're so polite. But if we were at home last night..."

"Maybe we are in danger too." Kudo Yusaku warned.

"But you said that person was probably targeting Mr. Akai from the beginning."

Conan's face was serious: "They had a gunfight in the study?"

"No, only the other party fired shots. It's strange that Mr. Akai's gun was still full of bullets and had not been used. Moreover, the other party did not take his pistol away. Why didn't he shoot back?" Kudo Yusaku looked thoughtful.

Conan's mind raced, and he was frightened by his own guess: "Dad, do you think the person who shot was Xiaoguang?"

"No." Kudo Yusaku said firmly.

Conan heaved a sigh of relief. He believed in his father's judgment. "Why?"

"Height. I roughly reconstructed the traces of the fight in the study. The other party was a man over 1.8 meters tall with short hair. He should be only slightly shorter than Mr. Akai." Kudo Yusaku looked at Conan, "Shinichi, what do you know? Why are you worried that it was Xiaoguang who did it?"

Conan touched his head and tried to smile: "I was just saying it casually, Mom and Dad, I'm going to the study now, you guys continue to take care of him."

Then he turned and ran out of the bedroom.

Kudo Yukiko looked at Kudo Yusaku with some concern: "What does he know? Why didn't he tell us?"

"It may be related to Xiaoguang." Kudo Yusaku frowned even more tightly.

"Oh my god, Shinichi just encountered a maglev train derailment, and he still has injuries on his face. Mr. Akai has encountered such a thing again." Kudo Yukiko sat on another chair beside the bed, "How about we call Xiaoguang and ask him directly? Since it may be related to him."

"No, Xiaoguang is under constant surveillance in the organization. If we contact him casually, it might cause trouble for him." Kudo Yusaku stopped him.

Yukiko Kudo looked at Shuichi Akai who was still asleep on the bed and said, "Is it okay to bandage the wound?"

"…It's not bleeding anymore, so it should be okay, right?" Kudo Yusaku hesitated, not very confident in his bandaging skills.
