MM Racing Chapter 134: Accident?
Chapter 134: Accident?
Time seemed to pass slowly, and everyone's expressions changed from amusement to panic in just a moment.
Bai Zhi only had time to look up before she saw a huge flower pot suddenly enlarged in front of her.
Bai Zhi was stunned, as if she had not recovered from this sudden incident at all. She was hugged by Maori Kogoro and rolled to the side.
Toru Amuro was originally at the bottom of the stairs, intending to hold Kogoro Mouri's hand to help him down. However, the incident happened suddenly, and Conan and Ran Mouri, who were standing at the bottom of the stairs, were both frightened.
"Are you okay?" Maori Kogoro let go of Baizhi with a nervous look on his face and carefully checked Baizhi from head to toe.
"This question...I should be the one asking you..." Bai Zhi was a little confused.
In fact, Baizhi wanted to say that the flowerpot couldn't hit her.
Even if she had stood there motionless, the flowerpot would have only brushed past his shoulder and fallen behind her. At most, the fragments might have scratched his ankle, but it looked very dangerous visually.
But Baizhi never expected that Maori Kogoro would just throw away his crutches and push her away.
This guy just got released from the hospital with a broken right leg!
Although this guy has a lot of problems, his sense of justice is impeccable...
“…Ahhhh, my legs, my legs! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!! I’m going to die!!!”
So, amidst the screams of Kogoro Mouri, he just got out of the hospital and lay down again in a gorgeous manner. A group of doctors hurriedly took X-rays of Kogoro Mouri.
The conclusion was that another surgery was needed.
Maori Kogoro heard that he had to undergo surgery with anesthesia again: "Help!?"
“(??????)I’m sorry…” Bai Zhi stood nearby, feeling a little guilty.
Looking at a group of people pressing Kogoro Mori like a pig that is about to be slaughtered during the New Year, and Kogoro Mori howling and screaming like the pig that is about to be slaughtered, it feels, uh... it's really pitiful.
Just like this, going back and forth until the evening, Kogoro Mouri finally calmed down. He lay listlessly on the bed, looking as if he had no strength to get up.
"Really? I'm so unlucky." After finally getting used to the pain in his legs, Kogoro Mouri finally calmed down. Or rather, his legs still hurt, but he was so tired from shouting that his voice became hoarse.
"(???︿???) I'm sorry..." Baizhi's apology was very sincere this time. No matter what, Maori Kogoro protected her at all costs.
"┐(─__─)┌Tsk, these are all trivial matters. If you really want to thank me, bring two cans of beer when you come to see me next time." Kogoro Mouri sighed tiredly.
"(???_??) Dad, no!" Mao Lilan immediately refused: "The doctor said that I have to pay attention to my diet!"
"(﹁“﹁)Tsk…" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mori could only shut his mouth in disappointment and lie on the bed with a feeling of despair.
"I say, Xiaolan, who can tell whether you are a daughter or a mother like this?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Maori Kogoro with contempt: "It's really bad to let your daughter worry so much."
"Hey, I'm doing this to save someone... huh!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened immediately, but when he thought about it, it seemed that it was indeed Mouri Ran who took care of him more on weekdays, so he could only shut his mouth guiltily and turned his head to the side.
The "humph" of dissatisfaction he let out was his last act of stubbornness.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open and Toru Amuro and Conan walked in. Bai Zhi looked at Toru Amuro, and Toru Amuro shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not gained anything.
"What happened? What exactly happened?" Mao Lilan stood up immediately.
"The police investigation said it was an accident. A child was playing near the upstairs window and accidentally pushed a flower pot down." Conan subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhi: "The flower pot was also placed there by someone who was discharged from the hospital and was sorting out his things."
"And I heard that the child got into trouble and pushed down a flower pot, causing Mr. Maori to be hospitalized again after he was discharged. They asked to pay for the medical expenses." Amuro Toru continued: "They are now taking statements at the police station, and they should be here soon."
"What a surprise..." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, Xiaolan? You're not worried that it's an accident, are you?" Suzuki Sonoko had been with Mouri Ran and immediately noticed her uneasiness.
"Well, it's an accident." Mao Lilan smiled.
"I think you're just too nervous, Xiaolan. You've been busy all day and didn't even have dinner." Suzuki Sonoko said, holding Ran Maoli's hand and looking at Amuro Toru: "Anyway, let's go eat first, do you want to join us?"
"We can't stay here anymore. We'll have to go back soon." Toru Amuro waved his hand.
"Okay then, Conan, let's go." Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, but didn't say anything. They smiled at each other with an expression that showed everyone understood.
Conan hurriedly followed, but the moment they walked out the door, the three of them looked at each other.
The communication between smart people is always so brief. When their brain waves meet and their eyes make contact, a brief alliance is reached in just a split second.
"So is the process really as you just said?" After a while, Bai Zhi and Amuro Toru walked out of the ward: "Does the floor number match?"
"Well, just in case, I checked the window on every floor." Amuro Toru nodded. "And there are eyewitnesses who testified that when the child pushed the flower pot down, someone immediately leaned out to look, so it must be them."
Toru Amuro brought Bai Zhi to the ward. The patient who was supposed to be discharged had half of his belongings packed and still scattered around, about two boxes.
It can be seen that this patient likes green plants very much. There are some succulents and hanging baskets around. Amuro Toru handed the photo of the broken flowerpot to Bai Zhi. They should be this person's plants. They are all the same variety of succulents, and they are well maintained. It can be seen that they have the same owner.
"Is he the only patient in this ward?" Bai Zhi asked again.
"The other two patients were discharged last night. Actually, two patients were supposed to be admitted at noon today, but because the police came to investigate, the two patients were temporarily transferred to the next ward." said Toru Amuro.
Baizhi came to the window. Maybe because of the flower pot there, the windowsill was not clean. Looking up from below, it was indeed the place where Baizhi stood at the beginning.
It seems that all evidence points to this being an accident.
"Found it. This is the surveillance footage of the child's activities in the corridor." Amuro Toru pulled up a video and handed it to Bai Zhi: "Actually, I feel it's a bit strange."
In the video, the little boy jumped towards the ward and stopped outside the ward for a while. It seemed that someone in the ward called him, so he answered and walked into the ward.
"I suspect this kid did it on purpose. Maybe someone said something to him." Toru Amuro pointed at the little boy on the screen with a serious expression.
"He was so purposeful. I calculated that he was heading directly towards the window, but in fact there was an angle between the ward and the window."
"If he simply wanted to help, he should be facing this direction."
