A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

What are people trying to do?Are you motivated to achieve a goal?Or is it for the... dirty and ugly selfish desires behind the goal?

Everyone is selfish, the difference between obvious and not obvious.

In order to satisfy one's own selfishness, it seems indifferent to pay any price. Is such an idea too pathological?

But for Hiratsuka Izumi, she has nothing to lose, and only she knows her unscrupulous methods.For example, in order to possess that person from the very root, from scratch.

Now, she's probably half way there.

The immature face full of worries in the field of vision was more and more clearly imprinted in her eyes, and Izumi Hiratsuka tried to blink a few times.She confirmed that it was correct, and the one in front of her was Kudo Shinichi who had transformed back into Conan.

"Kudou-kun? Are you... have you changed back?"

The thin voice was very soft, and the girl's eyebrows were furrowed, and the eyes that were more worried than Conan's eyes fell on Conan.

Conan was speechless looking at this look in his eyes, and he even laughed. The person who should be worried about is still worried about his own situation.He looked up at Izumi Hiratsuka's eyes, the girl's eyes were so clear that there was no distraction, reflecting his miniature.

Before Conan could speak, Izumi Hiratsuka read all of his thoughts.

The girl took out the hand that was not stuck in the hanging needle from the quilt, reached forward, and gently tapped the center of Conan's brow with two deep scars with her index finger.

"What's the matter with you, don't look at me like that, I'm fine now." Her tone became softer, as if she deliberately said this to soothe Conan's worries.

The more she said that, the less reassuring she became.

The slender fingertip was cold, and Conan could clearly feel the slightest touch, and that contact seemed to be connected to the other party's heart.

After confirming the safety of Izumi Hiratsuka, he originally wanted to ask some questions related to those incidents.But seeing the girl like this, he couldn't bear it.

People are emotional animals, and Mr. Heisei Holmes, who has always been calm and wise, is no exception.

The flow of time will not stop with the silence of the two, what breaks the silence is the commotion from outside the ward.

The footsteps were chaotic, and it could be heard that there were more than one or two people coming.Finally, they stopped in front of the ward.Then, it was the nurse who said that the patient needed to rest and prevent others from entering.

"Don't bother me at this stage." This is what the nurse said.

Immediately after, a thick male voice answered, "Then please go and see if the victim is awake."

It's the head of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"We are troubled by you!"

"Just to see if she is awake. The time for handling the case is precious. I hope the hospital can cooperate with us."

Mu Mu's voice outside the door was deep and vigorous, which was a habit he had developed from interrogating prisoners over the years.

Nishina Sousuke's case involved a lot, and Mu Mu was also very anxious about the progress of the case.After all, now, Hiratsuka Izumi is the only person who had direct contact with Nishina Sousuke before his death.

Izumi Hiratsuka looked at Conan standing in front of the hospital bed, and said, "Kudo-kun can't appear in front of Police Officer Megure in this capacity now, right?"

"Um……"

But Mu Mu and his party's criminal police have already blocked the door, and it is impossible to go out.

Conan quickly looked around the ward. Everything in the room was too tidy. If he was still hiding under the bed, it wouldn't be so easy to fool him, right?After all, the opponents are all elites from the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Kudo-kun! This way." At that time, Izumi Hiratsuka stopped Conan.Her tone was still soft, and her voice sounded weaker because of her medical condition.

I saw Izumi Hiratsuka pull back the quilt, and retreated a little to the side of the bed.Does this mean leaving a space on the bed for him to hide under the quilt?

The girl's eyes were firm, and her beautiful eyebrows were also knit together.She seemed to be trying very hard to get Conan out of the siege in this way, and all the expressions that she had tried her best showed on her face.

There was no time for Conan to think again, the person outside the door had already held the door handle and was about to open the door.

At this moment, Conan caught the hand that Izumi Hiratsuka extended towards him, and retracted into her side at the fastest speed.

Then, cover with a quilt.

The door was opened, and a group of stern-looking policemen rushed into the ward like a stream of water.

It seems that this incident is no longer just considered as a kidnapping incident.

Mu Mu walked in the first place, and when his falcon-like sharp eyes swept over the girl on the bed, the latter was obviously frightened.

The girl's hair was a little messy due to lack of tidying. She opened her eyes slightly and stared at Mu Mu standing beside the bed. It was hard not to feel distressed by her timid look.

"Hiratsuka, it's great that you're fine, I'm sorry for what happened!" Megure's words were a completely formulaic opening remark as a criminal police officer, although the overly serious tone couldn't be achieved at all. Calming effect.

Izumi Hiratsuka nodded weakly, and expressed his gratitude very politely: "Thank you...thank the police officers for bringing me back from there."

She was very much like a frightened little white rabbit, even her body was trembling very well.No one knew whether she was scared of stress from previous assaults, or whether she didn't want to be interrogated simply to show that she was in a bad state.

In fact, Hiratsuka Izumi's injuries were not serious at all. What's more, according to the police and the hospital, she suffered more mental injuries.After all, objectively speaking, a 17-year-old girl who suffered such inhuman abuse may cause PTSD at some point.

Although, no one knows what is the truth behind the seemingly atrocious scene.As a result, everyone preconceived that Hiratsuka Izumi was violated there.Violence on all levels, mental, physical.

No one would think that Izumi Hiratsuka is not an ordinary 17-year-old girl.

Conan curled up under the blanket, listening to the ongoing conversation between Izumi Hiratsuka and Police Officer Megure.

As if to make the space smaller so as not to be seen, Conan in the quilt was hugged tightly to his chest by Izumi Hiratsuka.

The girl's body is too thin, Conan knew this when he hugged her before, and the skinny feeling made people feel distressed.He was forced to lean on the other's chest, but the girl's little fat was growing where it should be, and it was warm and soft.

"Can I ask some questions now? If it's emotionally overwhelming, we can come back later," Megure said.

What he said was thoughtful words, but none of the police officers present was thinking of getting something from Hiratsuka Izumi as the victim immediately.

Hiratsuka Izumi didn't refuse, she nodded lightly: "Well, I...I will tell you everything I know." The breath between the words trembled very naturally, and it seemed as if she was in love with the previous one. Things still remain in shadow.

Yes, that's right, this is how a victim should behave, right?

"Then, I'll just ask straight to the point."

Standard opening words.

Izumi Hiratsuka described the whole process from being attacked on the road to being tied up in a certain room of that old abandoned apartment.

The narrative from the victim's point of view is not different from what the police speculated, so they were not asked too much about the details.And these are basically consistent with what Conan thinks.

Megure took out the photo of Nishina Sousuke and asked Hiratsuka Izumi to identify her, the girl's fingers were trembling.But the result was good, and Megure got words of affirmation.

If the victim directly identified him, then Nishina Sousuke's charges would naturally be unavoidable.But Nishina died inexplicably...

Mu Mu rested his chin, he knew that the kidnapping incident should end here with Hiratsuka Izumi.However, he was still very concerned about one thing, that is, among the footprints at the scene, there were footprints that did not belong to Sousuke Nishina who was confirmed as the kidnapper.

"Hiratsuka, the last question, the prisoner...does he have any accomplices?" Meguro paused, he just hoped to know something from Izumi Hiratsuka, but he didn't hold much expectation.

The girl was silent for a while, and the arc between her eyebrows gradually sank.

"I'm not sure...but there should be more than one person. From the sound of footsteps, at least two people stayed in the room." Hiratsuka Izumi's voice was still weak. She pursed her lips and thought for a few seconds before exerting force Shaking his head, "Officer Mumu, I'm sorry... I've only seen one of them, and it's in the photo just now..."

She doesn't need to apologize at all, but as a victim, apologizing for not being able to record the prisoner's testimony will only make people subconsciously think that her words are extremely credible, and will naturally ignore the authenticity of her words sex.

Even Mu Mu, who has experience in countless cases, no longer has the heart to continue questioning the girl on the hospital bed.The information he wanted was roughly confirmed by Izumi Hiratsuka.

"Then, please rest in peace, we will take our leave first."

A group of people left the ward in a hurry again, and the large troops were transferred.

This time Mu Mu stayed at the end, after the others left the ward, he stayed where he was, as if he had something to say.

"Officer Megure, do you have any questions for me?" Hiratsuka Izumi asked proactively.

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Megumi pulled his hat, with a relaxed expression, "Has Kudo-kun been to the hospital before?"

Izumi Hiratsuka was stunned, she didn't expect that Meguro would ask herself about Kudo Shinichi.Before that, that is, the night when they were rescued from the Mihua Building, Mumu knew that the two of them were together.

The arms embracing Conan under the sheet were retracted again, Izumi Hiratsuka lowered his eyes and replied softly: "Yes, he has come to see me."

In the eyes of adults, even Mu Mu could see this girl's posture, it was the embarrassment full of love.

Megure won't bother with matters between young people, he rubbed his nose as if he didn't see the expression of Izumi Hiratsuka.

"Really, that's good." He nodded and didn't stay long, "Take a good rest, I'm sorry."

The ward returned to its original silence, and after a while after the ward door closed, Izumi Hiratsuka pulled back the quilt.

I don't know if it was covered, or because it was leaning on the girl's chest, and Conan's cheeks flushed a little after he breathed the fresh air again.He turned around and suddenly realized that the distance between himself and the girl was too close.

Izumi Hiratsuka's hands were still around Conan's waist, and when Conan's eyes moved down and landed on her arms, she suddenly withdrew them in a panic.

"Sorry! I'm sorry..."

She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look into Conan's eyes, and her slender eyelashes seemed to be a shield to hide the shyness in her eyes.She stepped back a little more politely, and raised her hand to pull some broken hair on the side of her face behind her ears.

"Hiratsuka, you..."

Conan hesitated to speak, he wanted to say too much.About doubts, about those doubts that all kinds of evidence can only point to Izumi Hiratsuka.

But at this moment, he couldn't speak anymore.

The distance was very close, and Conan could see almost every detail of Izumi Hiratsuka clearly in his field of vision.

The uniform hospital gown on the girl was too big for her, and Conan saw the dazzling marks on the white skin above the collarbone and even the neck exposed by the neckline.

There are blue-purple bruises, and some... Judging from the shape of the marks, they should be the marks of teeth biting.

That is the best proof of what Hiratsuka Izumi suffered before this, at least in Conan's view.Combined with the appearance of the girl in the threatening video sent by Nishina Sousuke, has she already been violated...

But no one has the power to change the results that have happened, and Conan will not even mention the words related to it.

This is probably the most simple feeling for human beings, right?

In the face of weakness, he had to temporarily put those cares on hold.

For some reason, when facing Izumi Hiratsuka like this, Conan felt pain in his chest as well, and the radiating pain spread across his chest like a spider web.

Why is this?Is it out of the responsibility of being a detective, or... a different kind of emotion?

Conan didn't know.

He pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, and finally reached out and patted Hiratsuka Izumi's head.

It is the palm of a child, but it is full of tenderness.

The author has something to say: No one will have the heart to look down on the weak.

In fact, the little detective is a gentle person.

That... I went to apply for the list, so this week's update will be guaranteed.

If it is on the list, then the update is definitely guaranteed, I hope I don't have a bye. .I've already had my bye and I'm afraid qwq
