Chereads / Conan: I'm Really a Good Person / Chapter 127 - Moth to a Flame

Chapter 127 - Moth to a Flame

"Doo, doo, doo..."

"This is the communications company, the number you have dialed is not answered at the moment, please leave a message after the beep to record your name and the matter, beep-"

Morofushi Hiromitsu hung up.

He opened the curtains of the hotel and scanned the bustling Tokyo from above and below, and after a moment of contemplation, he exited the dialing screen of seven or eight unanswered calls and opened LINE instead.

The police cadets met at a destination, and since they could not remain isolated, they tried each other's cell phone numbers to add contact information, and created a group on the social networking software LINE.

Morofushi Hiromitsu was part of two groups.

One was a large group where most of the cadets were present, and the other was a small group with only six members.

He opened the group and sent a message: [Can anyone contact Mirai-san?]

Soon after, someone replied, it was Wataru Date: [Didn't he go to the hospital?]

He added a message: [His locator is still wandering around aimlessly.]

And sighed, [I've been walking the dog for a long time, Matsuda is really energetic.]

Ichijō Mirai's locator is currently on a foxhound.

Matsuda Jinpeisoon appears: [Can't stop, this guy is so beat up.]

He posted a picture of a cheerful foxhound, and a smiley symbol, [I say, doesn't anyone else think this guy looks like a very beat up guy?]

[If you color the dog's hair black.]

Foxhounds have white hair, but black is black, with a cute smile, pointy ears, and a smart but harmless look.

It's a lot like...

Ehh.

[Kujō-san will see this,] Kenji Hagiwara mourned in advance, [I wish you a happy future.]

It's a double entendre.

One is to wish Ichijō Mirai a happy future of revenge, and the other is to wish Matsuda Jinpei a 'happy' future of revenge.

He then briefly asked Morofushi Hiromitsu: [What kind of accident happened?]

Morofushi Hiromitsu hesitated for a moment, and replied: [There was a police operation tonight, and Inspector Matsumoto of Division 1 was seriously injured, and went to University of Tokyo Hospital...].

It was Ichijō Mirai who infiltrated the hospital.

[Mirai is on duty tonight.]

In addition, there is another reason for concern: Matsumoto Kiyonaga is a representative of the Acceptance Faction.

If he recovers from his injuries, or simply dies, then...

[I see,] Jinpei Matsuda's new message appeared in the dialog box, [but, that guy,]

He didn't say any more.

Wataru Date continued: [There's no need to worry about it, is there?]

[Kujō-san's words,] Hagiwara Kenji added, [won't be discovered as his true identity.]

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's safety is more important to worry about than Ichijō Mirai's true identity being discovered.

Furuya Rei: [Hmm...]

From the beginning of the training, when the cadets established contact with each other, Furuya Rei has been very concise.

So terse that he seemed to have disappeared from the Internet.

When he appeared, Wataru Date immediately consoled him: [You're quick to respond, Furuya-san!]

[I saw the video Matsuda-san posted, you barely stood still before you started evacuating immediately, not many people saw that!]

The social media app froze.

The last message stopped at Wataru Date's consolation, as if it were a silent pantomime.

Morofushi Hiromitsu shook his head helplessly, he hesitated for a moment and dialed a number on his cell phone, "Hello." 

"Hello, sir, this is Tokyo Hospital," the nurse girl inquired sweetly, "What can I do for you?"

Despite working late at night, she was stable, as stable as a dead person.

"Hello," Morofushi Hiromitsu said, "I have a friend who's a doctor at your hospital, but I haven't been able to reach him since about ten o'clock, and I'm a little worried since I heard there was a shooting."

"He reported to the hospital in the last few days, has black hair, red eyes, and his name is..."

He didn't wait for the name to slip through, but the nurse knew, "Dr. Kanagawa!"

"Are you a friend of Dr. Kanagawa?" Her tone was much more cordial, "Don't worry, Dr. Kanagawa is fine, he was on duty at the guardhouse about an hour ago and was not in danger."

"He didn't answer his phone, probably because it ran out of battery?"

The change in tone was obvious, and even more obvious: the nurse admired Ichijō Mirai.

Ever since we met, everyone except for a few instructors admired Ichijō Mirai.

Morofushi Hiromitsu narrowed his eyes a bit and said without moving, "Really? That's really great."

"You sound like you have a crush on him?"

Nurse: "Of course."

"Dr. Kanagawa is great! He's a doctor who came back from a big hospital in New York!" Her tone perked up and became a bit more genuine, "He just saved a patient in time!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's injuries were treated in time, and he miraculously lasted until his surgery.

Although the operation is still in progress and it will be difficult to remove the metal residue from Matsumoto Kiyonaga's body, at least there is a chance of removing it.

All the doctors who were on night shift and were given short notice were extremely grateful to Ichijō Mirai: had this given Matsumoto Kiyonaga a chance to live? No, it's for them!

"I still have a chance to answer the phone for my colleague," Nurse Koharu said with earnest gratitude, "thanks to the great Dr. Kanagawa."

A white angel!

Morofushi Hiromitsu's eyes twitched as he listened to her genuine voice, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a somewhat younger male voice, "So, are you talking to a friend?"

"No," Nurse Koharu denied, "It's a friend of Dr. Kanagawa, I was worried because I couldn't reach him, so I called to ask."

"I'm seriously praising Dr. Kanagawa."

After they exchanged a few brief words, the caller changed, and Morofushi Hiromitsu heard the young male voice with some trepidation, "Hello, could you please pass on my thanks to Dr. Kanagawa?"

"There was an emergency patient at the hospital tonight, I was in a hurry and Dr. Kanagawa came by, he was busy, he saw me in a hurry and stopped to take a look at the patient."

"It only took him half a minute, less than half a minute, to diagnose the patient!"

A half-minute diagnosis is the difference between 'amazing!' and 'how unprofessional...'.

But, "He was spot on!"

So it's "Amazing!"

"I'm really, really, really grateful to Dr. Kanagawa, I was in a complete daze and forgot all the knowledge in my head," The young doctor, somewhat ashamed, added, "I was going to thank him personally, but asked Dad, ahem,"

"Asked the Dean, and the Dean said that Dr. Kanagawa wouldn't be staying at the hospital for long, that he'd probably leave in a few days, and that I wouldn't necessarily be able to see him again, so..."

His voice trailed off, and after a few seconds, as if gathering courage, he asked, "Can you give me Dr. Kanagawa's contact information?"

"I admire him and want to be like him!"

"He doesn't want to stay, it must be because Tohoku University Hospital is so backward. Wherever he goes, I'll go with him!"

Morofushi Hiromitsu: "..."

Doctors and police officers don't seem to be compatible.

He's sure again: almost everyone, worships Ichijō Mirai.

Like moths to a flame, they worshiped the bright light.
