After a short time.

On the first floor, there is an empty staircase near the lobby.

"look."

The bald man walked down the stairs and stopped to the left of Yoshio Sekiguchi. He unexpectedly found a group of three students in the wide hall far in front of him on the right, looking for a pretty nurse to borrow a wheelchair. As expected, he described:

"The group of children who just visited Maori Kogoro are borrowing a wheelchair."

"But......"

Yoshio Sekiguchi looked down at the cold tiles and said with deep hesitation:

"How could I... in front of my father?"

"Didn't I tell you to give him sleeping pills while you're pouring water after entering the ward?"

The bald man turned to look at Sekiguchi Yoshio, chuckled and said soothingly:

"If he took sleeping pills, you don't have to worry too much."

"So, how is my daughter?!"

Seeing that there was no hope for improvement, Sekiguchi Ryofu could no longer suppress the despair surging in his heart. He turned around with all his might, grabbed the bald man by the collar, looked up at him, and asked anxiously:

"Is she okay!?"

"Oh, I'll give you one chance."

The bald man sneered, easily broke free from Sekiguchi Yoshio, took out an old black mobile phone from the left pocket of his trousers, hung it in front of his chest, and quickly dialed a number.

--------

Eight seconds later.

Rice Flower Department Store, rooftop, and playground.

Many children were scattered in the playground, playing happily.

The adults were scattered around the children, accompanying them warmly.

Yumiko Sekiguchi was sitting on a pig-shaped rocking car half a meter inside the iron railing on the rooftop. She was wearing a green sleeveless dress and her two pigtails reached the back of her chest. She looked about seven years old and very cute.

Her two little hands held the ears of the rocking car and she laughed happily.

An enchanting woman stood half a meter to the right of the bow, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, sunglasses, and with her arms folded, looking extremely leisurely.

"Jingle bell bell."

It is the quaint ringtone of an old-fashioned mobile phone.

The enchanting woman was slightly startled, then quickly came to her senses, reached into the left pocket of her shirt, took out a white cell phone and held it to her ear.

She nimbly walked to the right rear three meters behind Sekiguchi Yumiko, turned around and looked at the main entrance of the Mika General Hospital across the street from the Mika Department Store. She put her right wrist against her waist, pressed the answer button on her phone with her left thumb, and asked vigilantly:

"Hey?

What's wrong? "

The enchanting woman listened to the bald man's response on the phone and confirmed in surprise:

"daughter?"

The enchanting woman glanced at the delighted Yumiko Sekiguchi, who knew nothing about this, and chuckled lightly, saying:

"That child is having a great time. Do you want her father to hear her voice?"

Four seconds later.

"Is it Dad~?"

Yumiko Sekiguchi took the phone from the charming woman on her left and held it to her ear. She held the bottom of the phone in her right hand, looked down at the cement floor bathed in sunlight, and said with a joyful smile:

“My gentle sister and I are having a lot of fun here!

Come pick me up after you finish talking to the doctor~!"

"Beep, beep, beep."

It was the sad sound of the phone being hung up.

--------

at the same time.

Mihua General Hospital, first floor, empty staircase near the lobby.

Yoshio Sekiguchi watched the bald man cruelly hang up the phone, and wailed heartbreakingly:

"fiddlestick!!!"

Many patients or their families were scattered in the hall, and when they heard the noise, they all looked sideways.

The three students pushed the wheelchair away without noticing anything unusual.

On the other side, the world of Shenwei.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi witnessed this scene, holding the small camera tightly, staring at the bald man in the light screen, and angrily shouted indignantly in their hearts:

“Scum!!

When we find out where Yumiko is, you will go to prison and reflect on your sins!!!"

"bring it on."

The bald man paid no attention to the strange looks from the patient or his family. He put away his phone properly, casually rummaged through a white paper bag, took out a rectangular puff box wrapped in paper, and handed it to Sekiguchi Yoshio, saying calmly:

"This is a gift for you."

Yoshio Sekiguchi took the box of puffs tremblingly and hung it in front of his chest. He looked down at it, his forehead covered with sweat, and he was speechless for a moment.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at the puff box carefully, and seriously suspected in their hearts:

“This is definitely not an ordinary puff box, it must contain something dangerous.

Is it filled with contraband?

Or maybe a pistol.

Wait, what if it's explosives..."

Dongfang Haoyue thought of this, and with a thought, invisible chakra passed through the gap in the world of Shenwei and surrounded the puff box tightly.

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked at Haoyue, confirming that her idea was the same as his. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that the camera with extremely strong sound capture ability was filming.

Shinichi turned off the camera with his right hand and put it back in place, crossed his chest to turn off the camera on Haoyue, put his lips to her ear, and whispered carefully:

"Let's observe for a while to see if he has more accomplices so we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Ok!"

Dongfang Haoyue nodded solemnly and turned on the camera again, aiming it at Sekiguchi Yoshio and the bald man on the screen.

The man turned around and walked towards the hall without looking back. He stretched out his left hand over his left shoulder and waved it slightly, seemingly comforting but actually threatening indifferently:

“It’s not the time we agreed on yet, you can go to the bathroom and calm down before doing that.

For your daughter's sake, you'd better not let me down."

--------

After a short time.

On the third floor, there is an empty staircase near the corridor.

Yoshio Sekiguchi climbed up the stairs to the third floor with great difficulty.

He walked along the corridor and passed one meter outside the closed door of Kogoro Mouri's ward. He looked at the cold tiles anxiously, holding the puff box tightly against his chest with both hands.

Half a minute later.

Yoshio Sekiguchi slowly walked to the slightly open bathroom door, raised his head, helplessly pushed the door open, and unexpectedly found...

Three meters ahead, Officer Megure stood in front of the sink, washing his hands calmly. He turned his head and looked at the young detectives and police officers standing scattered half a meter behind him, and made a well-reasoned judgment:

“Based on the license plate and model of the vehicle that the witnesses saw at the time of the crime, we can confirm that the burnt man had a white van in his name that was used by the robber gang to rob banks.

In other words, he was part of a gang of robbers and had an accident while on the run.”

Officer Megure turned off the faucet, turned to look at the young detective, and arranged in an orderly manner:

“The doctor will diagnose the burnt man’s recovery progress at 3:30 this afternoon. I will go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to handle other matters. You stay here and monitor him.

Bring him to me as soon as you are sure he is physically able to withstand our interrogation."
