Chapter 315 Asai Narumi: Speechless

"It's nothing serious, just a little seasickness. I'll prescribe some cooling medicine for you, and you'll be fine. Go back and get some rest."

Asai Narumi held Wang Changsheng's hand and stroked it for a while, then smiled gently at him and softly comforted him.

Wang Changsheng nodded silently and pulled his hand away from the hand of the cross-dressing man, Asai Narumi.

"Ahhh... This feeling is so strange..." Wang Changsheng felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

He actually wanted to pull his hand away the moment Asai Narumi touched him, but he held back in order not to arouse suspicion from Asai Narumi and others.

The two sat facing each other, with Wang Changsheng's head just reaching Ma Shengsheng's solid chest.

Therefore, he was forced to look directly at the two slightly swollen little rabbits.

Did they stuff something in there or just go straight to technology?

Wang Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine and dared not look directly at the camera, instead shifting his gaze to the sides.

"Thank you, doctor." Wang Changsheng's voice sounded a little muffled as he thanked Asai Narumi.

He didn't call Dr. Asai Narumi "older sister," he simply addressed him as "doctor."

This was an unintentional act on his part, but it left Asai Narumi, who was writing down a form for him, stunned in his seat.

The other person stared blankly at Wang Changsheng, whose face was delicate and lovely, and for some reason, a warm feeling rose in their heart.

Since he started wearing women's clothing, he has experienced a lot of malice that he had never felt before.

And people will call him "beautiful woman" or "older sister" the moment they see him.

Hiding on this island that he both hated and felt a strange mix of emotions about, how long had it been since he had heard such a title, devoid of any personal connotation and purely out of respect or gratitude?

"A doctor..." Asai Narumi's lips curled up slightly, her mood somewhat pleased by Wang Changsheng's words.

He didn't know why, even though the nurses who usually followed him called him doctor, they weren't as happy as when they heard Wang Changsheng say that.

There's no way around it; even without any special aura, Wang Changsheng naturally increases the positive first impression people have of him.

Moreover, although the nurse also called him doctor, she still used a prefix—Dr. Asai.

Asai is not his real surname.

"Hello, Dr. Asai, I am Kogoro Mouri."

At this moment, Uncle Mori, seeing that Asai Narumi had finished writing the list for Wang Changsheng, stepped forward, tidied his somewhat greasy hair, ran his fingers through it, and then gave what he considered a very proper smile as he introduced himself.

"Ah, hello." Asai Narumi glanced at Uncle Mori, seemingly pleasantly surprised. "You're Kogoro Mori? The famous detective? What brings you here?"

Uncle Mori paused, looking at Asai Narumi with surprise: "Dr. Asai, you know me too?"

As he finished speaking, he looked somewhat smug and let out a strange, cackling laugh: "I didn't expect my name to have spread this far, even to you, Dr. Asai."

"Of course. Although I don't actively seek out information about the outside world, I often hear patients gossiping while on duty at the hospital." Asai Narumi smiled. "I've heard Mr. Mori's name several times."

"Huh? You mean you don't often take the initiative to learn about things in the outside world?"

Then, Sonoko and Ran, who were standing at the door, came in.

Conan glanced around Asai Narumi's office and couldn't help but ask his question.

He pointed to the bookshelf next to him and a stack of newspapers piled up in the corner.

"But these newspapers look pretty new to me, like they're from recently."

Conan looked at Wang Changsheng, only to find his gaze deep and thoughtful.

He pursed his lips and then turned his gaze to Asai Narumi.

It's strange that this person claims to be unaware of what's happening in the outside world, yet he has so many breaking news articles piled up.

"Ah... these newspapers..."

Asai Narumi was surprised that this child was so observant, noticing so many things that even adults hadn't noticed.

Asai Narumi's mind worked quickly. He reacted swiftly, after all, he was a veteran underground agent who had been undercover for so many years. With a slight smile, he said in a natural and gentle tone, "Those must have been provided by the hospital. I've had them piled up there, but I haven't looked at them much."

"Oh, I see." Conan nodded.

This hospital is so small and located on an island, making travel quite inconvenient. Daily life must be very monotonous. It's quite normal for the township office to send a bunch of newspapers to the hospital every now and then to help the people here relax.

It's understandable that the doctor didn't want to read the newspaper, even though it was delivered; after all, some people just don't like reading printed materials.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Asai Narumi breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid seems even more clever than Detective Mori...

Holding the written prescription, which only had two or three lines of simple notes, Asai Narumi stood up and said gently, "You're still a child, you shouldn't take too much medicine. I'll get you some powder in a bit, you can take it home and mix it with water to drink."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Uncle Mori and the others, and smiled, "I think you're not just here to treat this child, are you? If there's anything I can help you with, please wait until I get the medicine for the child."

"Of course, Dr. Asai, you go ahead with your work. The child is the priority. We just have a few questions we'd like to ask you." Uncle Mori nodded repeatedly, behaving like a gentleman, and gestured for Asai Narumi to get the medicine for Wang Changsheng first.

Yuanmei and the others naturally had no problems.

Asai Narumi walked towards the office door, and the others made way for him.

Wang Changsheng jumped down from the small stool and followed behind Asai Narumi, while Reigen Arataka also silently followed.

When the group arrived at the medicine storage room, Asai Narumi did not let the nurse get the medicine, but instead took the powder for Wang Changsheng himself.

Seeing this, Conan slipped directly to the nurse who had previously received them and began to subtly probe her.

Uncle Mori and Sonoko weren't paying attention to Conan, but Ran called out to him twice. However, seeing that he only ran to the nurse, they were relieved.

After handing the two doses of medicine to Wang Changsheng, Asai Narumi looked at Uncle Mori and Sonomi with a smile.

"I wonder what brings Detective Mori to see me?"

Asai Narumi had a bright and gentle smile. Her long hair was tied up, which made her innocent and cute face look even more adorable.

Uncle Mori's eyes practically popped out of his head.

He mumbled something, but couldn't quite get the words out.

"Old man!" Xiaolan glared at her father, who was always acting unserious.

Asai Narumi smiled, not feeling embarrassed by Mori-san's behavior at all; he even tried to smooth things over for him.

"I never expected such a famous detective to come here. When the patients talked about you, I felt that you were a very capable person, able to solve so many major murder cases!" Asai Narumi opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Uncle Mori with a hint of doubt.

He seemed to know Uncle Mori completely. Wang Changsheng stood aside, thinking that this guy's acting skills were already superb and flawless, and he could even easily fool Conan.

Of course, this is also partly because Conan was just arriving here and had the preconceived notion that she was a normal female doctor.

After all, no matter how brilliant Conan is, he can't possibly suspect everyone he meets, or think there's something wrong with every person he goes by.

As of now, Asai Narumi is behaving no differently than an ordinary doctor.

Uncle Mori had also come to his senses by this time and stopped stammering.

He reorganized his words.

This time, I was finally able to ask him the question smoothly.

Scratching the back of his head, Uncle Mori suppressed his smugness and tried his best to restrain the urge to stick out his tongue and laugh out loud. He said shyly to Asai Narumi, "It's not that amazing, it's just that people praised me, hahaha~"

"Huh?" Wang Changsheng was taken aback by Uncle Mori's words.

A wonderful compliment?

What nonsense are you spouting?!

Don't you have any shame?

People usually use humility and say "you flatter me," but you've made it sound like a wonderful compliment.

Wang Changsheng said that he really could boast, and even the old lady was not convinced; he was more impressed by this Uncle Maoli.

Looking up, sure enough, Wang Changsheng saw that Yuanmei and Xiaolan both looked completely bewildered and speechless, seemingly not expecting Uncle Mori to say such a thing.

Various kinds of words.

Reigen Shinryu stood behind Wang Changsheng, his expression somewhat complicated.

Are all famous detectives this...confident?

"I wish he were my customer," Reigen Arataka muttered to himself.

Although Uncle Mori looks silly, and in fact he really is silly, Reigen Arataka quite likes this kind of person because it means he has a high chance of successfully fooling this kind of person, making them believe his smooth-talking... and willingly pay money.

"Hehehe..." Asai Narumi hadn't expected the detective to be so...carefree. He chuckled awkwardly, then casually offered a couple more compliments before changing the subject, saying, "Anyway, detective, you are indeed quite amazing. I wonder if you're here for sightseeing, or if there's something here...?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Uncle Mori interrupted, "I really didn't expect that such a beautiful female doctor would know me in such a remote place. I am truly honored."

He was completely unaware of what he had just said and was still trying to strike up a conversation with Asai Narumi.

"This time you've made yourself clear... you even know how I should put it." Wang Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"...Thank you." Asai Narumi's eyelids twitched, then she forcibly changed the subject: "I wonder what you all want to ask me? Please hurry, maybe there are other patients who want to see me today."

This time, Asai Narumi spoke very quickly, afraid that Uncle Mori would spout some strange nonsense again.

"We do have some questions we'd like to ask you, it's like this..."

Xiaolan glanced at her father, then quickly looked at Yuanmei's face. Worried that her father might say something embarrassing, she bluntly stated the purpose of their trip.

"I see." Asai Shigemi nodded.

After everyone briefly introduced themselves, Asai Narumi continued, "If you've come here to ask about these things, then let's go back to my office and discuss it in detail. It's really not convenient to talk here."

Sonomi and Ran naturally had no other opinions. Uncle Mori wanted to say something, but none of the people present waited for him to speak. They turned around and left. He was stunned for a moment, but had no choice but to follow.

Asai Narumi turned around and led everyone from the pharmacy to the front hall, where they happened to see a nurse laughing heartily at Conan's antics.

He asked, "Amei, could you check if any patients have made appointments to see me today?"

The nurse, who was talking to Conan, snapped out of her daze upon hearing Asai Narumi's voice and replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll check."

The nurse took out a notebook from the front desk that was used to record the number of appointments.

She flipped through the pages a couple of times, then glanced at them, shook her head, and said, "No, but I think there was one, right?"

"Huh?" She glanced at it again and continued, "Oh, if I remember correctly, Mr. Mikami had made an appointment, but it seems he had to cancel it because of something."

As she spoke, she looked quite regretful.

"What a pity. If Mr. Mikami had come, we could have had an extra boost in revenue."

ah~

Why is work so difficult?

"Really? It's alright, Mr. Mikami must have his own things to do, no need to worry about it." Asai Narumi didn't seem to care about these things. He nodded, and after confirming that there were no patients he didn't have an appointment with today, he turned around and said to everyone, "It seems we have time to talk."

"You and that nurse seem to be thinking completely differently. If there's one less patient, won't your income decrease?" Wang Changsheng said, looking up.

"Haha~" Seemingly surprised by Wang Changsheng's question, Asai Narumi's face softened with a gentle smile: "I am a doctor, treating patients is my profession. If Mr. Mikami needs my help, I will naturally do my duty. But of course, I hope that as few people as possible come here to seek my treatment. There's also the reason that I want to be lazy. But what I really want is for everyone to be able to live a life free from illness and disaster. It's kind of an unrealistic fantasy of mine."

"Not at all, Dr. Asai's ability to think that way shows you truly have the heart of a healer." Uncle Mori seized the opportunity and quickly flattered, "Beautiful inside and out, that perfectly describes someone like you, Dr. Asai."

"Conan, come here quickly." Ran definitely couldn't leave Conan alone outside any longer, since they needed to get back to the doctor's office.

She beckoned Conan to come to her side.

"Little boy, go on, is that your older sister? She's very pretty." The nurse smiled at Conan, who blushed, nodded, and quickly ran back to Ran's side.

"Let's go."
