Conan's Helping People

Chapter 10 The Taste of the Dead
Twenty points in hand.

Hinata reasonably found Matsuda Jinpei to be very interesting. The curly hair and sunglasses of the other party did not give a very good first impression to others, but after a little getting along with him, he could quickly confirm that this guy was definitely very good.

After all, not everyone would patiently repeat three times to strangers, crazily implying not to be poked in the wound, even among police officers, there are very few such people.

After receiving the expected reply, Matsuda Jinpei lowered his head and pressed the phone, his hand was so fast that it almost flashed afterimages, he finished pressing it with a crackling sound, and said easily: "Okay, let me tell Hagi about you waking up."

'Hagi'?In the memory fragment before, Curly called 'Hagiwara'.

After putting away the phone, Matsuda put his hands on his chin and asked doubtfully, "By the way, did someone come to see you just now?"

Ok?
Hinata rationally followed his gaze, looking at the fresh bouquet on the bedside table.

He was also puzzled, "Didn't you let it go?"

I don't know what kind of flower that bouquet is, but it is so delicate and beautiful, it looks fresh, and it has just been delivered, and there is a small sign hanging on the bottom.

"No, but it's true that you should give away a bunch... Shall I see the cards?" Matsuda Jinhei asked thoughtfully, and after getting permission, he approached and took a look at the cards.

"I wish you recovery, Kudo?"

Hearing the signature on the back, Hyuga Ryo knew who sent the flowers.

He explained: "It should be Mr. Yusaku Kudo. When I was in school, I met them to solve the case."

But having said that, Hinata Ryo was a little surprised that Kudo actually sent flowers.

They don't really have anything to do with each other, do they?Just met for a short time that night. At that time, Hinata Ryo only communicated with Kudo Shinichi.

"I see." Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him, and found that his face was still as calm as ever, not even as emotionally fluctuating as when he was frowning and biting the spoon just now.

The Kudou couple are quite famous. Basically every high school student has liked their couple more or less. Even if they don't like them, they will inevitably get excited when they see celebrities.

But now, is not the time to explore these.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the bottle, confirmed that there was not much left, and then dug out a new bottle and replaced it.

He said easily: "The bottle just now was glucose, and this bottle contains hypnotic drugs. You should fall asleep soon."

"I'm going out to buy something, is there anything you want me to bring for you?"

That is, will come back?
Hinata raised his head reasonably, looked at the curly-haired man, and then asked his question: "Are you coming back?"

Shouldn't it be going to work?Even if you are on leave, you should normally go home and take a break, or hang out with friends.

To keep coming to the hospital, and to take care of a person I don't know at all.

Very strange.

"You feel a little underage, okay?" Matsuda Jinhei saw the subtext, twisted the key ring in his hand, and replied lazily, "I rescued it anyway, so I have to take some responsibility."

"I'll remember to buy you some candy. Protests are invalid."

While talking, he stepped out of the door, and the keys were still flying in his hand.

When he was about to walk to the door, Matsuda Jinhei paused again, turned around, thought seriously, and said seriously, "It's like picking up a cat, you have to be responsible..."

"Ah, I finally remembered why you look so familiar. It's really a cat. Your eyes are like a cat, or a cat with black hair and green eyes. That kind of cat is super hard to catch and likes to scratch people."

Rational Hinata: "..."

If you really want to say it, it is obvious that the fluffy curly hair is more like a cat.

He sighed.

Matsuda Jinpei waved his hand and closed the door gracefully.

A few seconds later, he opened the door more gracefully, and the other party said abruptly: "Let me confirm, you don't know what that lady is going to do, she drank sleeping pills without knowing it, and she didn't accompany her family on the road, right?" ?”

Does this question still need to be confirmed?
Hinata looked at him reasonably for a few seconds, and found that his face was not pretending to be serious, but was asking seriously, so he fell silent for a while, and replied helplessly: "Yes, I don't know."

After walking downstairs quickly, Matsuda Jinhei glanced at the hall, and found where his friend was with ease.

——I was chatting with the nurse at the front desk, and they had a good chat, and they were all laughing.

He: "..." I had expected it, tsk.

He walked over quickly and patted Kenji Hagiwara on the shoulder.

Hagiwara Kenji just finished saying goodbye to the nurse, and turned his head with a smile, "What happened up there?"

Not long ago, Kenji Hagiwara had just finished eating, arrived at the hospital, and when he wanted to go to the ward, he received a message from Matsuda Jinpei.

[Wait for me downstairs, don't come up. ]
If it was critically ill or something, that would not be the case. It must have been an accident.

They went to the convenience store together, and Matsuda Jinhei said as they walked, "The child has woken up, but I feel a little suspicious."

"...I suspect that he may not be in a situation where he doesn't know anything..."

Hagiwara Kenji glanced at him subconsciously.

He continued: "When I told that child, he only showed a little expression when I said that his mother was not rescued in time. The expression at other times was the same as when I handed him the lunch box and he took it calmly to say thank you. Same time."

For a newly rescued minor, it was too strange, especially when he learned of his mother's death, his reaction was very cold, and he almost said 'oh, what does that have to do with me'.

It made it look like the kid was just passing by, rather than being rushed to the rescue.

"So, I just came over from Hyuga's house, and I actually found out something." Hagiwara Kenji was also lost in thought, "Neighbors say that Hinata's house suddenly became more and more people more than ten years ago. out of a child."

"It is said that she was weak before and rested in other places, and was taken home until she became healthier. However, some neighbors said that Mrs. Hinata never saw her pregnant with a child."

Also, at that time, Mrs. Hinata had just been married not long ago, and she had never had any relatives or friends come to her house, and she did not go out to socialize. There was a high probability that she eloped and married Mr. Hinata, and the neighbors said so.

Some neighbors have also heard that there were several gunshots from Hyuga’s house, and people in black hurried in and out, and removed a large rectangular object wrapped in a black plastic bag, which was a bit like a human being. object.

When Hagiwara Kenji was about to leave, a neighbor hesitated for a moment and said something else.

She had seen Mrs. Hinata put the child in the closet and locked it, but then Mrs. Hinata closed the curtains so she couldn't see inside.

All sorts of things, all of which are said between neighbors, and the authenticity is not sure.

Hagiwara Kenji said it in several pieces, then he paused and laughed again, "But if Xiaozhenhei thinks that the kid knows, I actually just got a clue."

"I found a shopping bag in the grass near Hyuga's house, which contained alcohol bandages and wound medicine, as well as a few sandwiches and candies. Looking at the receipt time, I bought it last night. At that time, the child also bought ice cream .”

"Those who decide to leave, shouldn't they buy these things?"

This is...

But Matsuda Jinpei still insisted on one thing, "His eyes are definitely eyes that have seen death."

It feels like I have seen a relative die with my own eyes, or I have simply died, not this time I was rescued from dying.

But before this time, it was because he was rescued from near-death, so compared with normal people, the child had a very obvious smell.

Clearly separated from normal people, it belongs to the taste of the dead.
