Chapter 3 The clock of fate begins to turn

"Doctor! Please take a look at this child!" Kitahara Sosuke rushed into the hospital with the wet little detective in his arms.

"What's going on here?"

The doctor took the little boy and examined him, focusing on the wound on his forehead, and then stared at Kitahara Sosuke with a vague look, looking at a criminal suspect.

Kitahara Sosuke explained: "This child had to go to the park to play even though he had a fever. He accidentally fell into the lake! The wound on his head was caused by knocking on the shore when he fell."

"Then what's with these completely ill-fitting clothes?" the doctor asked again.

"Didn't he fall into the water? A kind passerby happened to bring extra clothes and lent them to him temporarily."

"But these clothes are also wet."

"That's because he fell into the water again later. His clothes were too big and he accidentally..." Kitahara Sosuke forcefully explained.

"Really, how do you take care of me as an adult?"

After all, the doctor is not a detective. Although he still felt that something was wrong, he did not go into details. He complained and carried the little boy for examination. A nurse took Kitahara Sosuke to pay the bill and register the information.

Of course, the younger detective cannot continue to use Kudo Shinichi's health insurance. As a "criminal household", Kitahara Sosuke needs to pay the full medical expenses for him, a figure that even his current wealth would make him feel distressed.

……………………

"So, didn't I just say it!" Kudo Shinichi, who had just woken up after bandaging his wound, tried to explain: "I saw a man in black blackmailing a guy who was smuggling firearms! When I was following me, I was

His accomplices found out! He attacked me from behind! That’s how the wound on my head came from!”

The doctors and nurses were covering their mouths and laughing, "Little brother, have you watched too many police dramas?"

"I'm not a little brother, I'm already a sophomore in high school!" Kudo Shinichi said loudly, feeling that these guys in front of him were simply unreasonable!

He has never met someone so difficult to communicate with.

"Hahahahaha——"

A group of people laughed loudly!

If he hadn't been lying on the bed, Kudo Shinichi would have jumped up with anger on the spot!

——What on earth is going on with these guys?

He suspected that he had actually entered a mental hospital.

"Forget it! I'm going to find Officer Megure!"

Officer Megure will always believe him!

"Wait a minute, little brother." Seeing that Kudo Shinichi was about to jump out of bed, a nurse hurriedly held him down and said, "You still need to rest now!"

Kudo Shinichi looked at her and was shocked.

——What's going on? Can you hold me down with one hand? Could it be that...this woman is as strong as Xiaolan?

Then he pushed her away and retorted: "Don't call me little brother, I already..."

What, what happened?

"high school……"

Why are my sleeves so long?

"second grade……"

Why are these hands so small?

Kudo Shinichi's voice became lower and lower. He suddenly realized that something terrible seemed to have happened to him!

"Okay, okay! Little brother, you must be scared, right? Does the wound hurt?" The slender nurse easily picked up Kudo Shinichi and stuffed him into the quilt, "Don't worry, it's okay! It's fine.

Rest and you'll be fine tomorrow morning."

"After all, he is still a primary school student, only in the first grade, right?" The clinical patient also thought the little boy was very cute. He looked at him with a smile and said, "What a rich imagination!"

——Primary school student? Who is he talking about?!

Kudo Shinichi was shocked and unwilling to accept the facts. He lifted the quilt, jumped off the hospital bed, and rushed directly into the bathroom.

The height of the sink actually became an obstacle for him. Kudo Shinichi jumped up and grabbed the countertop, turned over, and sat on his knees on the sink. In disbelief, he saw the figure reflected in the mirror, and subconsciously moved his hands

Press the ground against the mirror.

Childish appearance, completely ill-fitting clothes... 6 years old? Or 7 years old?

——Are you kidding me? Why is my body... like this?!

He suddenly remembered what the silver-haired man seemed to say before he fell to the ground...use the organization's newly developed poison...

Could it be...that it's because of the medicine?

How can it be?!

"Oh, you are so naughty, no wonder you fell into the lake." The guard said as he took Kudo Shinichi off the sink.

Kudo Shinichi looked at her blankly.

Falling into the lake? Who are you talking about? This is because...

"Okay, lie down in bed, your family will come to see you soon." The nurse continued.

——Family? No, no, my parents are still in the United States and have not returned!

Then...that so-called "family"...could it be...those men in black!

No! You must escape immediately!

Kudo Shinichi took advantage of the nurse not paying attention, broke away from her arms, and ran out the door as soon as he landed!

"Oops!" The nurse was startled and really got a little angry: "What happened to this child?" She put down her things and hurriedly chased after him. But Kudo Shinichi who ran out was too small and quickly disappeared.

The boy with his head still wrapped in a bandage ran away quickly, while still being wary of everyone wearing black clothes.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was dressed in gray and blue casual clothes, was talking to a nurse. A boy wearing a pair of ill-fitting sneakers ran past him. The two of them passed each other, and neither of them paid attention to the other.

Suddenly, Kitahara Sosuke felt something. He turned around and saw that the glass door of the hospital was closing.

……………………

"...He ran away suddenly?"

"Yes!" When the nurse who was looking for the little boy went crazy and saw Kitahara Sosuke, she couldn't help but start complaining: "Mr. Kitahara, that child of yours is so naughty, he disappears even if you are not careful!

"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that such words seemed like she was shirking responsibility, and quickly said: "Don't worry, no matter what, we will definitely find him!"

"Oh, no need. That child probably ran home." Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile: "Despite his young age, he is actually very smart, so there is no need to worry about getting lost."

"Is that so..." The nurse was a little embarrassed, but she was really relieved. After telling Kitahara Sosuke a lot of precautions, she suddenly remembered something and asked again: "By the way, Kitahara-san, that child

Do you often watch police TV at home?"

"Well, probably...why do you say that?" Kitahara Sosuke asked curiously.

"Because the child spoke very strangely!" the nurse recalled: "He said something about men in black doing suspicious transactions, attacking him from behind, and smuggling firearms, etc. He should be talking about

It’s a plot from a TV series, right?”

"That's right," another nurse next to him added: "He also claims to be a sophomore in high school! Children's self-awareness is not fully developed, and it is easy to regard plots from TV series or imagined things as their own.

I’ve experienced it myself!”

"Oh, that's right!" Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said, "It's not good for children to watch TV all the time. I will talk to his parents about it."

……………………

Taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Kitahara Sosuke walked along the nearest route to Miwa Town.

In the month since he came to this world, he has memorized most of Tokyo's routes and major buildings, including the residences of several main characters. Although he has not deliberately contacted those people,

I've seen it a few times from a distance.

Block 21, 2-chome, Yoneka Town. This is Kudo Shinichi’s address. Next to it is the genius inventor Dr. Agasa who lives in block 22.

Kudo Shinichi now has short calves. Although he had a burst of physical strength when he ran out of the hospital and ran as fast as a bullet, he was out of breath not long after. When Kitahara Sosuke found him, the boy was staggering.

On the road, I was soaked by the rain and didn't even notice a truck passing by quickly.

The truck that almost hit the boy honked loudly, and the driver roared: "If you don't pull over, you will die! Be careful, you brat!"

Kudo Shinichi, who was splashed with water, fell to the ground and watched the truck drive away with a wry smile.

"Haha, kid..."

He wanted to say: I...I'm not some kid!

But look at my body now...

"It's so sad..."

Kudo Shinichi slowly got up from the ground and walked home in despair.

Rejuvenation may be a dream thing for others, but Kudo Shinichi is not old, and he has not yet reached the age of fear of death. He is a sixteen-year-old high school detective in his prime, and he has a love interest.

Yue, it’s just his childhood sweetheart who has not made it clear. There is nothing to be happy about when he becomes a child, but he will lose a lot because of it.

Of course, Kudo Shinichi hasn't realized this yet. He hasn't considered that far-term yet. He only regards this as an extremely difficult and difficult event. But as long as he finds the key like before, he will soon... maybe not so much.

Solve it quickly.

Confusion and uneasiness enveloped the boy, making his little figure look full of panic.

He didn't know that he would have to endure more grief in the future, and the process of recovering his body would be longer and more painful than he expected.

Kitahara Sosuke held an umbrella and followed silently in the distance.

He was ready to take action when the truck drove by just now, but no mission information popped up on the card. The driver was not really blind enough to not see the child on the road, and had already turned in advance.

But at this moment, looking at the figure that was made extremely short by the loose clothes, his originally calm mood suddenly became sad.

This is not a cartoon, not a story, but a real person right in front of him!

He could see the crisis-ridden fate of this child in the future, and he could also see that his childhood sweetheart's wait seemed to last more than half a year, but actually lasted for more than ten or even twenty years.

The clock of fate has begun to turn!

The card heated up slightly, and new information appeared on it——

[The rescue mission of Dorobiga Paradise has been completed, freedom points obtained: 5]
