Holy crap, no way?
Did he die and end up with a mental illness?
I woke up with a start from my dying dream, only to find that I was the one with the mental illness?
No, calm down, calm down. This claim has not been confirmed yet; it's just a possibility. Current speculation is only based on the "timeline" issue, so it's not certain yet.
The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Sano.
"How about this, let's keep him in the hospital for observation first, after all, this is no longer a minor matter."
Kyosuke Kazeto suggested.
Hospitalization for observation?
With mud all over his crotch, how could he possibly explain it?
Sano's eye twitched, and he tried to struggle: "No, aren't you a psychiatrist? You treat mental illness?"
In response to Sano's questions, Kazato Kyosuke simply smiled and said, "Psychiatry encompasses both psychological and mental aspects."
Sano: "..."
"What if I say no?"
Seeing Sano's narrowed eyes, Kyosuke Kazato's eyes also showed a hint of wariness.
"Sano, if I remember correctly, you're a detective now, right? I've seen many reports about you in the newspapers, including some about you... using a hammer... to punish criminals."
Kyosuke Kazato maintained his smile: "If someone with a history of mental illness does something like this and doesn't cooperate with treatment, they could easily be subjected to coercive measures."
...How the hell can this be related?
And is this guy threatening me?
Since we can't solve the problem, we might as well just get rid of the person who raised it.
A vein bulged on Sano's chin, and his killing intent had just surfaced when a system notification suddenly popped up.
[Please undergo a seven-day hospital stay at Mihana General Hospital. Completion will earn you 100 enhancement points. Remaining time for the mission: 167:59:59.]
"..."
So you're just going to take the blame for this?
The nascent killing intent that Sano had just begun to harbor dissipated because of this unexpected event.
That being said, it seems that even if Sano really killed Kazato Kyosuke, it wouldn't change the "facts".
Unless Sano goes on a killing spree and eliminates all the "witnesses" present.
Otherwise, if they want to get rid of this setting, they'll probably have to spend some time proving that they're not actually sick... or that they've already recovered.
...I want to die.
Seeing that Sano didn't speak, Kazato Kyosuke took it as a tacit agreement: "Alright, you guys go ahead and take him to complete the admission procedures. I have another patient to deal with later."
"..."
Chapter 204, page 203: He's recovering well; he just entered the psychiatric ward.
Sano followed the medical team out of the office in a daze, went through the admission procedures, changed into a hospital gown, and arrived at the psychiatric ward.
"Well, I might have to take these things away. After all, keeping them with you... might be a little dangerous."
The hospital nurse, holding Sano's hammer, water gun, pistol, and lighter, said...
"……Um."
Sano gave a perfunctory reply.
At this point, the accompanying group could no longer stay and waved goodbye to Sano with... well, indescribable looks in their eyes.
"Senior, you must take good care of your health!"
I'm not sick!
Sano's face darkened. He turned around and met the gaze of Ran Mouri, who was standing next to the loud and boisterous Sonoko Suzuki and seemed hesitant to speak. And there was you.
Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? I don't have a terminal illness. Don't act like I'm about to die.
Ai Haibara, the culprit, looked at Sano and let out a deep breath.
It's fortunate that I was there that I was able to discover Sano's problem.
Otherwise, it's uncertain when the other person's mental illness will be diagnosed.
Coming along was definitely the right decision; it wasn't all for nothing.
Seeing that Sano turned his gaze to her, Ai Haibara nodded to him with a sense of relief—it was what she should do as a teammate, no need to thank her!
...You brat, I'll remember this grudge and settle it with you later.
Sano gave Ai Haibara a look, and then, watched by the medical team, walked into the prison gates—because of the prescription given by Kyosuke Kazato, Sano seemed to belong to a dangerous group that could harm people at any time.
The psychiatric ward of Beika General Hospital is divided into two parts: one for patients whose behavior is relatively normal and who are unlikely to harm others.
This district is also connected to other districts.
The other area is naturally for people like Sano to live in.
In addition to the large iron gate separating the rooms in the middle, the windows of each ward inside are also connected by iron bars to prevent "escape".
Sharp objects are not even allowed inside. Some critically ill patients are kept locked in their rooms with reinforced doors, and are even wrapped in... well, you know...
Restraint garment?
It was still a restraint garment.
Fortunately, Sano doesn't deserve such treatment yet.
Except for not leaving the "disaster area", Sano can move freely inside.
Of course, rules and regulations still need to be followed, such as what time to go to bed, what time to get up, what time to eat, what time to watch TV, and even when to attend ideological education sessions.
This is such a hassle.
Sano sighed and turned his gaze to the patients in the corridor.
Some people were spacing out, some were sleeping, some were squatting in the corner, muttering to themselves, and others were gathered together playing video games.
...It's the kind of game that Sano played on TV with a cartridge and a controller when he was a kid in his previous life, like Super Mario Bros., Contra, or Battle City.
How incredibly boring.
Sano pursed his lips.
Half an hour later.
"Hehehe, we won again. You guys are no good either, you're too weak."
Sano smiled as he watched the television display showing his victory.
On Sano's side, there were a dozen or so mental patients huddled together, their faces full of resentment.
These people have all taken turns competing against Sano at least once, but none of them have been able to defeat him.
...After all, Sano still has the mask accessory on him, and his hand speed, dynamic strength, and reaction speed are all at a superhuman level, making it incredibly easy for him to slaughter such a group of people.
As for why Sano started playing video games...
It's simply because I'm so bored.
There was nothing in this disaster area. There were some books, but they weren't very interesting. After flipping through them for a while, Sano joined the game team.
"Hey bro, can you teach me how to play games this well?"
A patient approached Sano.
"This thing can only be done with talent."
Sano waved his hand, but to his surprise, the other person pulled out a bag of potato chips from his pocket the next second.
"Master, since I'm being so respectful to you, please teach me, okay?"
Looking at the obsequious patient, Sano raised an eyebrow in surprise—as a key management area, these potato chips and the like are basically not allowed in the disaster area, and he didn't know how the other party got them.
"...Do you have any cigarettes?"
Sano asked a crucial question, and after a moment of silence, the surrounding patients immediately rushed forward.
"I have it! I have it!"
I have some Coke!
I have cigars here!
"..."
Looking at the colorful pile of things in front of him, Sano was stunned for a moment: "Where did you guys get all this stuff?"
The first patient smiled mysteriously and said, "I sold them all to them."
"So where did you get it from?"
"Well... it's a secret that can't be revealed."
They were actually keeping us in suspense. Sano pursed his lips and accepted all the "apprenticeship gifts" without hesitation.
"Sit down and watch me do it."
"Yes, Master!"
And so, on his first day in the psychiatric ward of Beika General Hospital, Sano took in more than twenty... apprentices in the first hour.
As evening approached, Sano was supposed to rest and sleep as arranged by the nurse, but unexpectedly, the nurse brought two people to visit him.
"senior!"
Ran Mouri and Conan stood at the door and greeted Sano.
"Why are you here?"
Sano was somewhat surprised that the two had returned.
"Oh, actually, Dad was injured this afternoon while apprehending the criminal, so he came to the hospital..."
