Don't pick up your husband in the trash

◎The Walking Dead◎

When Xiaolan and Yuanzi came back from the outside, they passed the apartment building where Fuhei's house was located without knowing it. Looking at the closed door of the apartment, Xiaolan was worried.

"There are no reporters here today. I don't know how Sister Xuezhi and the others are doing now. When will this case be resolved? If Shinichi..." Although I called last night to inquire about the situation, Sister Xuezhi always announced the good news but not the news. worry.

It would be great if Shinichi was here... Xiaolan scratched her temples with her fingers, looking at the phone screen with a dazed expression.

In the past, the cases were basically solved quickly, but this case was confusing.And Officer Sato and the others seemed to be at an impasse.

"I'm thinking about that guy Kudo again, Xiaolan. If you want to, then make a call." Sonoko hung her whole body on Xiaolan, and shifted her gaze from the apartment building to Xiaolan's mobile phone.

"But, if Shinichi is busy..."

"Tch, that guy is too forgetful outside! He even forgot about his wife!"

"What, what wife, Yuanzi, don't talk nonsense!" Xiaolan blushed, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Sonoko said angrily.She took a step, and came to her in an instant behind Xiaolan, half-bent, raised her index finger, and asked with a serious expression: "When was the last time he called?"

Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a while, then flipped through the call records on her mobile phone, which showed that it was the beginning of this month.It was Kudo Shinichi who took the initiative to call.

Sonoko: ...

She said that this stupid couple is really hopeless.

……

Xiaolan returns to the office and finds that her father Kogoro and Conan are not there.There was a post-it note on the fridge that said neither of us would be home for dinner tonight or something.

Xiaolan sighed, tore off the post-it note, and then looked at the phone again.She was hesitating whether to call Shinichi.If he's busy... don't know what he's doing.

Of course, in the end, the emotion of longing still prevailed.So she called Kudo Shinichi.There was a busy sound for a while, and then it was picked up.

"Xinyi, are you busy? Did I bother you?" She asked softly while holding the phone.

There seemed to be some noise on Shinichi's side, but his voice was still clearly transmitted to her ears through the signal.

"Xiaolan? Ah, no. If it's you, Xiaolan, I'm free."

Xiaolan's face flushed slightly.However, his tone sounded a little nervous and hurried.Sure enough, I still bothered him.

"Xiao Lan, are you worried about Miss Fu Hei?"

Before Xiaolan said anything, Kudo Shinichi had already expressed his worries.

Xiaolan showed a surprised expression: "Xinyi, why do you know Miss Xuezhi?"

"Ah, this, I heard from Conan! He often called me about his new friend Fu Heihui. So I know a little bit about them."

For some reason, Kudo Shinichi's tone was a bit of a cover-up.Although Xiaolan felt a little strange, she didn't think much about it.Conan seems to often secretly contact Shinichi behind her back...

It seemed that the silence was too long, and Shinichi on the other end of the phone spoke with a cautious tone.

Xiaolan pursed her lips. She stood at the window, looking at the busy traffic downstairs.Because it is the rush hour, the downtown area is even more noisy.Car horns blare one after another.

She took a deep breath, and then told Shinichi about the [Snowman Hiding Corpse Case].

Kudo Shinichi listened carefully, and then said after she finished speaking: "Although this case is a big one on the Internet, it has nothing to do with Miss Fu Hei and the others. As for those reporters, there is nothing to be afraid of. In order to add trouble to Fuhei's family, Mr. Amuro... Poirot's Mr. Amuro has already gone to investigate, and there must be a result soon. Moreover, the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama has also been involved in this case, and it seems that someone commissioned it The detectives in Yokohama..."

Kudo Shin paused, and then said: "So, this case will be resolved soon."

He said the next few words very plainly.I don't know if I am comforting myself.

Xiaolan also listened carefully, but there was one thing she didn't understand.

"Armed detective agency in Yokohama Yokohama? Why did you entrust Yokohama? Did you not trust the detectives in Tokyo?" Xiaolan didn't understand, why did she entrust the detectives there when it was clearly a case in Mihua Town?

Shinichi explained on the phone: "Because Edogawa Ranpo of the Armed Detective Agency is an unparalleled genius! And during the police investigation, a certain important suspect's hometown is in Yokohama. The situation in Yokohama is very complicated. The Armed Detective Agency is the most suitable. I can’t tell you the details, but I believe that with that Edogawa Ranpo around, the case will be resolved soon.”

Xiaolan suddenly realized and nodded.

"So that's how it is. By the way, Shinichi, when will you be able to..."

Before Xiaolan finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi over there hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Xiaolan, I have another case to come to me, I will contact you next time!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Xiaolan: ...

Holding the phone, she looked very angry: "Shinichi is an idiot!"

-

Kudo House, No. 21, Second Town, Mihua Town.

Putting away the mobile phone belonging to Kudo Shinichi, Conan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.He raised his head and saw Okiya Subaru squinting at him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Where did you just say?" He asked directly changing the subject.

Okiya Subaru didn't seem to see Conan's embarrassment, he still pushed his glasses with a smile and said:

"Katori Ayaka doesn't have twins, and secondly, there's no reason to pretend to be her."

"Ah yes, that's it." Conan pushed his glasses uncomfortably, "Katori Ayaka was sent to the hospital by accident. Her interpersonal relationship is also very simple, there is no reason to pretend to be her. After all, pretending to be a person without being found requires Put in a lot of skill. If the target is Sister Xuezhi, it is even more impossible. Since Belmode has already pretended to be a new doctor, there is no need to pretend to be Xiang Caixiang. These two identities are naturally new doctors. for simplicity."

I learned the results of the police investigation from Uncle Maori yesterday.Officer Sato and Officer Takagi went to Mihua Central Hospital and learned that Katori Ayaka was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment a month ago due to carbon monoxide poisoning.The doctor who rescued him was Yokoyama.And the next day, Dr. Hengshan resigned on the grounds that he was going to study abroad.

Afterwards, the police went to investigate Dr. Yokoyama's home.Although Dr. Yokoyama's hometown is in Yokohama, he also has a temporary residence in Mihua Town.The police are investigating his temporary residence in Mihua Town.

"There are traces of a big fight in the apartment, obviously there was a fierce fight. The passport with the air ticket was found under the sofa. The time in the air ticket was the day after Dr. Yokoyama resigned. In other words, the night of Dr. Yokoyama's resignation He was preparing his luggage in the apartment, but had some accidents and was unable to leave the country the next day."

"In the early morning of the next day, someone witnessed Dr. Hengshan leaving the apartment with a suitcase and a hat on. Because they knew that Dr. Hengshan was going to go abroad for further studies that day, they all thought that Dr. Hengshan had already gone abroad that day."

Okiya Subaru touched his chin, and then said: "Now we can reason in the worst case. Assume that Dr. Yokoyama died that night. Then the question arises, why did he die? He resigned the next day after rescuing Katori Ayaka. was assassinated. The two coincidences are too coincidental."

Conan had a serious expression, put his hands in his pockets and said:

"Based on the current situation, it should be related to Katori Ayaka. According to the nurse at the hospital, Katori Ayaka had no heartbeat when she was delivered that day. Doctor Yokoyama tried his best to rescue her but failed to save her from death. , So much so that he was very guilty, and after the other medical staff left the emergency room, he stayed alone with Katori Ayaka. It was at that time that Katori Ayaka suddenly had a heartbeat. At that time, a big death notice was about to be issued."

Both were lost in thought.Okiya Subaru frowned slightly, "Do you suspect what medicine Dr. Yokoyama used?"

Everyone is smart, how could Shuichi Akai, who is an FBI investigator, not see through Conan's thoughts.

That's right, Subaru Okiya of Toto University, who was staying at Kudo's house, was actually Shuichi Akai pretending to be.

In other words, Okiya Subaru is just a disguised identity of Akai Shuichi.

Conan said: "It's very likely, isn't it? Both Haibara and I can become smaller because of the medicine, so it's not impossible for Katori Ayaka to be revived because of the medicine, right? By the way, Mr. Akai, is it possible that Dr. Yokoyama is the organization people?"

Akai Shuichi seemed a little surprised that he would ask this question.

"May I know why you ask that?"

Conan thought for a while and said: "Huiyuan and I became smaller because we were fed the poison developed by the organization. Although Huiyuan, as the researcher, left the organization, the organization's research and development of drugs will not stop there. During the absence of the original, there was a deeper improvement in the medicine. It happened that Dr. Shenmu from the Mihua Central Hospital said that Dr. Hengshan seemed to be conducting some research projects, so it really makes people think about it."

Akai Shuichi frowned, he was really concerned about Conan's assumption.

But he still looked at Conan and said, "But coming back from the dead is even more incredible than being smaller."

"No, no, I don't think these two are the same. What's more, this is not a resurrection from the dead. After all, the autopsy report proves that Katori Ayaka has been dead for a month."

"Besides, cosmic monsters can appear, so what's incredible in this world? I wouldn't be surprised if a ghost appeared someday."

Conan had a sad expression on his face when he said this.

Akai Hideo raised his eyebrows, and he said: "That's even more impossible. Could it be that you want to say that Katori Ayaka this month is a walking dead?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the study froze again.

Conan clapped his fists, showing an expression of "why didn't I think of it?": "Why didn't I think of it! There is still such a possibility!"

Akai Shuichi looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Boy, life is not a movie."

Conan raised his head and said confidently: "But art comes from real life. Besides, there is nothing impossible in this world, right?"

Monsters have appeared, what else is impossible?

Akai Hideichi stroked his chin, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this question.And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Conan's statement is very reasonable.

Indeed, what is impossible in this world?

At this moment, Conan received a call from Amuro Toru.
