In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 243 Kogoro Mouri in the Hospital

Chapter 243 Kogoro Mouri in the Hospital

This was a serious matter. Inspector Megure, who hadn't had time to leave, had to reappear at the venue, since the seemingly indiscriminate attacker might have targeted other guests as well.

Even celebrities, when faced with threats to their lives, become panicked and paranoid, losing all their previous elegance and composure.

Even a powerful wrestler who could take on all the police officers present at once was quite frightened and tried to force his way through the police cordon.

Fortunately, Midori Ozaki promptly admitted to her actions. After repeated searches and confirmations, no more unopened flower buds or hidden chemicals were found, and the police then released the guests from the scene.

On the way to the police station, Midori Ozaki, who was determined to die, casually recounted the incident from back then, which terrified Inspector Megure, who repeatedly asked if anyone else was involved in what happened back then.

Clearly, the fact that someone died despite his arrest left him with considerable psychological trauma. He didn't want to receive the news during the interrogation that someone else had been killed by the same prisoner who was to receive a severe sentence.

Inspector Megure's actions brought a relieved smile to Midori Ozaki's face.

The revenge has been taken; now it's time to serve my sentence and atone for my sins.

Midori Ozaki looked at Hiko Akutagawa, who was about to follow her to give a statement, and bowed deeply to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much, Detective Akutagawa—"

The two knew perfectly well that, unlike what Inspector Megure and the other officers thought, it wasn't out of gratitude to Akutagawa Hiko for saving her life.

Instead, she was grateful that Akutagawa Hiko did not, like many pedantic detectives, prevent her from taking her final revenge.

"Another Yoko-san concert ticket, the kind with an autograph and you can take a photo with her backstage —"

'

Having just returned home from the police station, Akutagawa Hiko took a bunch of things out of his mailbox and looked thoughtfully at the tickets inside. Yoko Okino had given him some tickets before, but he hadn't gone because he was busy those days.

However, since it was a token of their goodwill, Akutagawa Hiko did not give it away to anyone else or sell it for money.

Yoko Okino is becoming increasingly popular lately, and she's been receiving concert tickets much more frequently, along with various albums and merchandise. If she were to use these items to lure Kogoro Mouri, she'd definitely succeed every time.

"They're really going all out—"

-

To be honest, concerts aren't exactly an easy thing to do. Yoko Okino's career is so booming that there's really no need for her to hold one concert after another.

However, Yoko Okino talked to him about this, saying that as an idol, one should respond to the reasonable expectations of fans, and that she also wanted to work hard while she was young to see if she could catch up with the legend of the past.

After making a few phone calls, Akutagawa Hiko confirmed that he would indeed be available that day. Coincidentally, Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri were also going, but Conan had an after-school activity at school that day, which slightly disappointed Akutagawa Hiko.

If Conan isn't around, wouldn't the chances of encountering a case be greatly reduced?

After receiving Ms. Yoko's autograph, Akutagawa Hiko came out from backstage with great satisfaction. Although he didn't encounter any cases, he was in a very good mood.

Yoko Okino's singing and dancing are indeed adorable, and she has made significant progress compared to before. It's no wonder that she is thriving in the entertainment industry and can be said to be the most accomplished member of the Earth Ladies Team so far.

However, Akutagawa Hiko did not see Kogoro Mouri at the scene. Given his personality, it's impossible for him to miss Yoko Okino's performance. Could it be that he went out to report the case behind his back again?

That's so unfair! It's just that I stole a lot of your business, it shouldn't be like this.

Confused, Akutagawa called Ran and was surprised to learn that Kogoro Mouri had fallen down the stairs and broken his leg while rushing out the door and had been taken to Beika General Hospital.

Akutagawa Hiko's eyes lit up. He took two sets of limited-edition merchandise that he had specially bought and that were only sold on-site, and prepared to visit his senior who had suffered so many misfortunes.

During the six months that Kogoro Mouri studied Conan, he was hospitalized quite frequently, and each time it basically meant that an accident was going to happen, so naturally he had to get involved.

Just as they arrived at the hospital entrance, they happened to see the entire Detective Boys team, including Ai Haibara. This made Akutagawa Hiko exclaim that things were definitely going to get complicated with this lineup.

I just don't know how serious the problem will be.

"Hello, little detectives! You've come to visit Uncle Mori too?"

Yoshida Ayumi and the other two were clearly very satisfied with Akutagawa Hiko's title, since most adults regarded their Junior Detective League as nothing more than a bunch of kids playing house, not worthy of serious consideration.

"Hello, Brother Ayan!"

After exchanging greetings, the group started making fun of Kogoro Mouri.

"Falling down the stairs and breaking your leg, how embarrassing! You're supposed to be a really great detective."

"And it's for Yoko Okino's concert, not to chase a fleeing suspect!"

"Uncle Mori really should be more careful."

Akutagawa Hiko chuckled and gently tapped each of their heads: "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. It's not polite to make fun of a patient."

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Although this wasn't the first time Kogoro Mouri had broken a bone, it was still quite serious.

The three little ones stuck out their tongues in unison: "Okay, okay!"

Akutagawa Hiko brought a group of children to the front desk. The tired nurse, without even looking up, replied to his question, "Mr. Mori's ward is room 503. Please be quiet when visiting and don't disturb other people's rest."

Seeing this, Akutagawa thanked her and didn't bother the top nurse, who was considered one of the best even in Ushima-gaoka, before taking the children up in the elevator.

Upon arriving on the fifth floor, Akutagawa Hiko looked at the name on the doorplate and instantly understood the major events that had occurred that day, his brows furrowing slightly.

Today's events don't actually require much brainpower; they're more about physical strength, so there's not much to worry about.

Akutagawa couldn't help but think of the brewery. If Gin's teammates all performed their duties like this, he might not say it, but he would definitely be moved to tears in private.

These robbers were just too incompetent; they probably wouldn't even make it to the outer ranks of the organization.

"Eek—it's Yoko-san's limited edition merchandise! That's amazing, Akutagawa-kun!"

Akutagawa Hiko was very satisfied with the effect of the gift. Looking at Kogoro Mouri's current state, he almost wanted to get out of his hospital bed and kowtow to him.

What does it mean to achieve great things with little money?
