Pretending to Be a Good Person in the World of Conan

This is the only son of the old man.

He looked haggard, walked in without saying anything, went straight to the old man and sat down, poured warm water for him, and asked him to drink medicine.

The old man took the water glass and the medicine, and laughed twice: "The brat knows me quite well, I really haven't taken the medicine today."

Conan took a look at the medicine box and recognized that it was a medicine for treating diabetes.

The old man didn't blame his son for his bad complexion. He knew that his son had been under a lot of pressure recently.

Conan habitually eavesdropped on the conversation between the father and son, and soon learned that Yoshio Sekiguchi, the son of the old man, actually had a daughter who was in elementary school, but today, his daughter went to the swimming pool with her friends, and there was no Come to visit.

The old man felt a little regretful, but when he thought that children are naturally playful, he was not willing to force his son to call his granddaughter over, and then talked about work.

Yoshio Sekiguchi works in a bank. Someone robbed their bank last week. The robber has not been caught so far.

The old man complained about the low efficiency of the police. Suddenly, he remembered Kogoro Mori who had accompanied him all morning in the hospital bed next door, and introduced to his son with a smile:

"By the way, you can ask this Mr. Maori. He is an excellent detective. Although he is not well-known, he has solved several outstanding cases. Maybe he will have clues."

Yoshio Sekiguchi was originally looking haggard, but when he heard the word "detective", his expression completely collapsed, and he laughed twice with great reluctance:

"I was hiding under the counter. I didn't see any clues, and it was useless to find a detective... By the way, Dad, I'll help you buy something. What else do you need?"

"I don't need anything! You just need to visit me a few more times." The old man sighed.

Conan stared at Yoshio Sekiguchi's back as he left the ward as if fleeing, pushed his glasses, and a reflection flashed through the lenses.

After turning around, before the sharp smile on her lips lasted too long, Conan saw Mao Lilan get up suddenly, she walked quickly to the window, pushed the window open, and looked out.

"...Sister Xiaolan?" Conan was startled.

Mao Lilan looked at it for a long time, then looked away, and said puzzledly: "Just now I seem to see a cat slipping past the window..."

"Cat? This is the third floor. What you saw was a pigeon or a sparrow, right?" Mouri Kogoro raised his hand to peel half of the apples. "Come back and help me finish peeling. It's not convenient for me to peel while lying down."

"Okay." Mao Lilan looked out again, but still found nothing, so she closed the window again, returned to Mao Li Xiaogoro's hospital bed, and picked up the paring knife.

……

As soon as Yoshio Sekiguchi came out of the ward, he met a team of policemen at the door.

After seeing him, the police officer who led the team asked about the condition of the burned middle-aged man, especially if anyone came to visit him.

Although the police officers didn't say the reason for asking, Yoshio Sekiguchi knew that the middle-aged man who was burned in the ward was one of the gangsters who robbed his bank.

The police did not disturb the middle-aged man, trying to lure his accomplices to visit him, and then caught them all.

Yoshio Sekiguchi finished answering the police officers' questions and left quickly.

He took his daughter to visit his father this morning after receiving a call from "hospital staff".

But as soon as they arrived nearby, the father and daughter were surrounded by several big men—these were all robbers who robbed the bank that day.

The news of the robbers was very well-informed for some reason. They came to the hospital today not to visit their accomplices who failed to escape, but to kill people to silence them.

For various reasons, Yoshio Sekiguchi became their chosen tool.

Yoshio Sekiguchi has lived a law-abiding life to such an extent that he has never dared to run a red light on any small road. Now he is suddenly going to commit murder under the noses of the police and a detective. Just thinking about it makes his legs tremble in fright. All soft.

But his daughter was taken away by one of the female robbers. If he didn't kill him, the robber would kill his daughter... This made Sekiguchi Yoshio unable to refuse.

After confirming the condition of the ward and leaving the ward, Yoshio Sekiguchi came to the emergency passage according to what the big men said before.

Because he was too anxious when pushing the door, he stumbled and threw himself on the door in a hurry.

The door was hit by him and quickly slid towards the wall. Just as the gap between the door and the wall narrowed rapidly and was about to close, a black figure came out of it, turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and walked down the stairs a few times. gone.

"..." Yoshio Sekiguchi was taken aback by the black shadow, and he slowly recovered after realizing that it was just an ordinary stray cat.

He covered his beating heart and took several deep breaths.

A couple of minutes later, a tall Mediterranean man walked up to him carrying a paper bag.

The robber opened the paper bag, took out a box of puffs and handed it to him.

The packaging of the puff box is not transparent, and it is not the weight that soft puffs should have at all.

Yoshio Sekiguchi's palms were sweating coldly, and he almost couldn't hold the box. He knew that there was actually a gun inside.

"We'll take care of the police. As for the people in the same ward, your dad should have already taken the sleeping pills you put on, so he won't get in the way. The detective will leave the ward immediately and go to the hall to watch the idol show."

Speaking of this, the robber looked at his expression, and after seeing Yoshio Sekiguchi writing "I don't want to do it anymore" all over his face, he sneered:

"We have arranged it so well, you only need to shoot that idiot, and you can easily save your daughter. Why do you hesitate to make such a profit?"

This remark made Sekiguchi so angry that he wanted to fight him.

But looking at the other party's gnarled muscles, and thinking about the daughter who had been taken somewhere, he finally grabbed the "puff" in his hand.

The robber smiled triumphantly, and tapped his watch: "I give you 13 minutes to adjust your expression and mentality, and do it on time. Of course, you can also refuse, so you can sit in the ward and watch your daughter come from the top of the building." It looks like it's falling, hahaha."

He smiled and pushed open the door of the stairwell, and left quickly.

As soon as the figure of the robber disappeared, Yoshio Sekiguchi fell down on the steps, hugging his head dejectedly.

After a moment of silence, remembering the requirement of "adjusting the mentality", he took out the wallet and opened it, looking at the group photo of the family of three in the transparent interlayer, especially the innocent daughter in the middle.

However, not to mention the courage to kill people from it, the more he watched it, the more he wanted to hug his head and cry.
