Conan: The Mechanic

The next morning, after the scheduled MRI.

"What, are you going?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked at Conan. "Do you want to go out for a walk with Xiaolan?"

"Let him go, this is the hospital, there is someone who can help Xiaolan see the way, just don't get lost." Fei Yingli didn't care. "And didn't he also say that the children are coming, of course it would be better for him and Qianyu to go."

"Cut!" Mouri Kogoro gave Conan an unhappy look and waved his hand. "Okay, okay, Xiaolan made a mistake, just peel off her own skin and come back."

……

About fifteen minutes later, on the circular path of the landscaped grass next to the Yakushiye Hospital.

"Thank you very much for taking the time to visit me." With a little apology, Xiao Lan, who was sitting on the bench, smiled wryly and looked at Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta in front of her. "But I'm sorry, I don't remember anyone now, and I can't respond to you. I'm sorry, I may have disappointed you."

The moment she said those words, Qianyu bit her lip. Beside him, Conan's body trembled, and every muscle on his face twitched slightly.

[Lan, you stupid girl, even if she lost her memory, are you still expressing apology for not being able to respond to other people's greetings... Obviously you are the victim, but until now you are still telling others...]

When Conan pursed his lips and stared at Xiao Lan who was smiling and greeted by the cheered children who had no impression of her at all, and Dr. A Li who came with her, Qian Yu suddenly broke the silence here. "Sometimes I really doubt..."

"Huh?" Conan turned to Qianyu, waiting for his unfinished words.

"I sometimes really wonder if you were ordained a saint in your last life, that's why God brought her to you as a reward." Looking at the smile with a somewhat hollow smile that was filled with kindness towards the children Xiaolan, Qianyu sighed. "Really... how much blessing did you cultivate in your last life?"

"What's the point of saying this now?" Conan revealed a wry smile. "If I can restore her memory, even if I..."

Just when they were whispering here, they heard Maolilan making a slight murmur that they could clearly hear.

"Kudou..." Mao Lilan seemed to be thinking about something, and even stretched out the limbs that were originally reserved for seeing strangers. "Shinichi? Kudo Shinichi?"

"!?" Qian Yu was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her gaze from Xiao Lan back to Conan.

"Don't you remember Brother Xinyi, Sister Xiaolan?" Conan asked excitedly with a surprised and happy expression.

"No, I don't remember." After thinking about it carefully, Mao Lilan shook his head. "It's just... I think this name is very special."

"...Okay," Conan sighed and nodded after hope turned to disappointment. "It's okay, Sister Xiaolan, you can definitely remember it."

"Otherwise, let's go back to my ward and let's chat slowly, how about that?" Mao Lilan suddenly suggested. "Although I'm sorry, but... it looks like I may not have a good rest."

"Then Sister Xiaolan, wait a second, I'll borrow a wheelchair?" Saying this, Conan was about to turn around and go to the outpatient building, but he was immediately stopped by Xiaolan.

"It's alright, those wheelchairs should be reserved for the elderly or those with limited mobility." With that, Xiao Lan leaned on the back of the bench and stood up. "Although I'm a little tired, at least walking back is still--ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, the hand she was supporting on the bench seemed to have suddenly lost its strength, causing her to fall to the side before she could stand still.

"Be careful!" Qianyu's reaction was the fastest, but it was too late for his position.

Although Conan next to him didn't respond as well as Qianyu, he had time - there was hardly any hesitation. When Qianyu had just given up the plan to run forward, Conan had already pounced on it, and used the most direct way to avoid small children. Lan fell, knocking her head against the bench in danger.

Although he didn't have time to support Xiao Lan, he still had time to pounce there and use his body as a cushion to protect Xiao Lan from the impact.

……

Ward

"Cough!" Holding the soda can, Conan's body was obviously still a little uncomfortable, and after breathing in a little irritably again, he began to cough again.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Lan, who was half lying on the hospital bed, looked at Conan reproachfully. "It's all my fault..."

"It's not your fault, it was just an accident," Mouri Kogoro comforted his daughter in a low voice. "Don't worry, that kid is in good health, and he will be fine if he rests for a while."

Just when Xiaolan was still looking at Conan with some worried eyes, Dr. Kyusuke Kazuto, who was in charge of her treatment, walked in.

"How is it, is there any progress in the recovery of memory?" Kazuto Kyousuke looked at Kogoro Mouri and nodded after receiving a negative answer from the other party. "It doesn't matter, this kind of thing can be done step by step, don't be in a hurry... Oh, by the way, I came this time because the results of the MRI came out. The two family members will come with me?"

……

"At present, there is no significant abnormality in Ling Ai's brain. It seems that the amnesia should have nothing to do with the previously inferred pathological damage, and should be considered to be amnesia generated by the self-protection mechanism after encountering mental stimulation on the scene - just like It was the patient who saw something scary outside the door, so he went back home and blocked the door, not wanting to go out."

"That is to say, as long as we bring Xiaolan back to the scene, we can stimulate her brain and maybe restore her memory?" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.

"What are you talking about?" Fei Yingri frowned and interrupted Kogoro Mouri. "That's your biological daughter~www.readwn.com~ You're going to let her recall those terrible experiences so simply and rudely? As long as we can restore us and those ordinary memories, I'm all for not letting her remember them. What happened in the toilet that day!"

"But if it's like you, what if Xiaolan can never regain her memory? Do you want her to start over like this all her life?" Mouri Kogoro obviously didn't expect Fei Yingli to object to his opinion.

"I'm just against taking such an extreme and reckless approach as you that may cause secondary trauma to Xiao Lan!" Fei Yingli softened her tone a little, but she didn't mean to give in at all.

"Calm down," Kazuto Kyosuke sighed, preventing the quarrel between the two. "Personally speaking, I actually prefer my mother's opinion - you should also know that the brain is a very fragile thing. If you suddenly use such a rude way to forcibly recall, it may cause serious psychological damage to the patient. Trauma, even if some memories are recovered, it may not be worth the gain. In fact, I think if the patient is given enough time, she may recover some or all of her memories at any time. Don't put too much pressure on her, miracles can happen at any time. It's possible - even if the conditions allow, to let her try to live a normal life and even go to school normally."

"What do you mean, Xiaolan can be discharged from the hospital very soon, and she doesn't need to be treated here all the time?" Fei Yingli was pleasantly surprised—she obviously didn't want her daughter to stay in the hospital all the time.

"Of course she can go home and live," Kazuto Kyosuke nodded with a smile. "In the current situation, there is not much we can do, so letting her go home and rest is actually saving time and money for you, and it also has more leeway for us."
