The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 158: Mu Mu Thirteen: Brother Maori has a split personality

"Well... I accidentally killed someone. Can you help me get a mental illness certificate?" The cute little girl's voice continued.

"…………"

Aida Masato was silent, glanced at the police and detectives in front of him whose eyes suddenly became sharp, and said calmly:

"I can open it. What is your address?"

"Eh? Really?"

The little girl's voice was quite surprising: "Thank you doctor, I'm at Mihua Central Hospital now."

"!!!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this. Could there be other cases happening here? !

Aida Masashi continued to ask: "Excuse me, where exactly is it? How can I find you?"

"Hehe, my name is Mouri Kogoro, and I'm right in front of you."

“!!!!!!”

The playful laughter echoed in the room and turned into thunder that enveloped everyone.

Bang!

Mouri Kogoro's crutches didn't even have a stick, he rolled and fell off his chair, and shouted at Masashi Aida's cell phone:

"Who are you?! What have you done?!"

The only answer he got was a busy beep.

Mouri Kogoro beat the floor angrily, his face turned red. Xiaolan quickly leaned over to help her father who fell on the ground.

"hiss--!!!"

There was a sharp pain in the broken leg, and Mouri Kogoro finally took a breath after realizing it.

Seeing this, the nurse Huizi immediately ran out and called the doctor. After she left, there was only silence in the room.

Deathly silence.

Aida Masashi raised his phone: "Do you need me to call back?"

Mumu Shisan nodded and called back. As everyone expected, the phone was turned off.

"This will confirm it, someone is framing me!" Mouri Kogoro said loudly.

This discovery made him quite excited, but he waited for a long time and received no response.

Feeling confused, he raised his head and looked around. Everyone he saw avoided his sight, and the glimmer of light he caught in the eyes of others at that moment was mostly dim and mixed with suspicion.

After all, Mouri Kogoro was not an idiot. He suddenly realized and panicked:

"Hey, you guys think I direct and act on my own, how could something like that happen!"

"Sorry, Uncle Mori."

Kudo Shinichi's tone was complicated: "I want to believe you, but if that call came from the person who framed you, what was her purpose? To help you get away with it?"

I was framed before and now I am helping to get rid of the crime. Is this kind of thing very logical?

"I'm not sure, it's from the Kudo family!"

Mouri Kogoro said anxiously: "When I was tricked into entering a gambling game to help frame Nami Cedar, didn't you just say that this was a flaw left intentionally by the person behind the scenes? If he was willing, he could actually give me a buckle. A scapegoat that never goes away.

Maybe it will be the same this time. He framed me, and then he didn't want me to go to jail, and he took the initiative to expose the suspicion. "

Kudo Shinichi actually thought of this in an instant, but if there really is such a person, what is his purpose?

No, now is not the time to think about that.

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he looked at Moori Kogoro:

"Uncle Maori, even if we have to assume this possibility, we must at least rule out your suspicion first. Let's start from the beginning. What did you go through after you left the ward? Remember everything you saw and heard."

"well."

Mouri Kogoro nodded quickly. A doctor, led by nurse Keiko, walked in and wanted to check his leg injury, but he waved his hand to stop him. He went through everything before in his mind and organized his words:

"I was woken up by the alarm clock in my sleep and saw the reflection of someone committing murder on the window of the building opposite, so..."

"etc."

Kudo Shinichi does not want to listen to the story, but to sort out and analyze it, and interrupts as soon as he finds something he cares about:

"Who set the alarm clock at half past eleven?"

"Seems to be……"

Mouri Kogoro recalled: "It should have been adjusted by Dr. Shirai. He came to the ward at 9:30 to deliver medicine to me and stayed in front of the alarm clock for a while."

"Have you determined the position of the alarm clock hands after he left?" Kudo Shinichi continued to ask.

"This does not."

"What about Miss Aida?"

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked at Masashi Aida, who had always looked calm. It was great to have such a mentally stable bystander who could replace Mr. Mori.

Aida Masashi nodded: "I'm sure it was Dr. Shirai who set the alarm clock. I've always paid close attention to it."

This step was still within the scope of the original reasoning. Kudo Shinichi thanked him and was about to ask the next question, but just as he was about to turn around, he heard Aida Masashi continue:

"But after Dr. Shirai adjusted the alarm clock, Dr. Eto came over not long after, and he set the alarm clock hands back to seven in the morning."

"What?!!!"

Everyone's expressions changed suddenly when they heard this. Kudo Shinichi also frowned and asked: "But the alarm clock did ring at 11:30, what's going on?"

Aida Masato looked calm and looked at Mouri Kogoro: "Mr. Mouri, I have to confirm first. You should also remember that Dr. Eto has been here, right?"

Mouri Kogoro looked a little confused: "Why do you say that? I fell asleep soon after taking the medicine given by Dr. Shirai. I don't know if Dr. Eto has been here."

"You fell asleep?"

Masayo Aida's usually calm brows finally wrinkled slightly: "But didn't you talk to him at that time?"

"!!!!!!!"

Kogoro Mori almost jumped up again regardless of his broken leg, and said in a red-eared and anxious voice under everyone's suspicious gaze:

"How could this be possible! I definitely didn't talk to him!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Masayo Aida after hearing this, and Masayo Aida stared at Kogoro Mori for a long time:

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely not!" Kogoro Mori was firm.

Hearing his words, Masayo Aida's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed completely: "I know, it sounds like I am framing someone." She looked around, "Where is Dr. Eto? Can you ask him to come out and testify?"

"Sorry."

Toru Amuro, who had been standing silently, said: "It seems that I killed him by mistake, and I can't testify for you."

Masayo Aida's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked around at the people who were looking at her:

"So, now my words and Mr. Mori's words are just one-sided and unreliable?"

Megure Jusan hurriedly said: "No one doubts you, Miss Aida, brother Mori..." He sighed and pointed to his head, "Maybe there is something wrong with him, please just tell me what you know."

Xiaolan also nodded: "Miss Aida, I believe you."

"Thank you."

Masayo Aida smiled slightly and took out a black recorder from his pocket: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, just believe it."

Thank you very much for Mr. Mizuki's reminder, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The eyes of the others all lit up when they saw this:

"Play it now!"

Chapter 159 Uncle Maori, it's over

...

"Mr. Maori, how is your recovery?"

"Just like that, what do you need?"

"..."

The recorder in Masayo Aida's hand continued to play. Although it was just some meaningless nonsense, it was enough to prove that Maori Kogoro did have a conversation with Eto Shengli during that period.

The crowded ward was silent under this recording. Nurse Huizi looked around uncomfortably and felt that everyone's face was like wearing a cast iron mask, cold and lifeless.

The only one who was a little lively was Maori Kogoro, the core.

Although his face was so pale that there was no blood at all, it was even more excessive than the white sheets in the morgue illuminated by the refrigerator light, but it was still changing.

Moreover, his involuntary trembling of facial features undoubtedly revealed his identity as a living person, and his lips moved, "Impossible, how could this happen..." The unbelievable murmur was the only sound in the ward after the recording ended. Aida Masayo glanced at her former patient and handed the recorder to Megure Jusan, feeling quite sorry. He had earned more money in the past two days than in the past half month, and he didn't know when he would have such a good opportunity again. "The police can use technical means to verify whether I have cheated." Megure Jusan took it and nodded heavily, feeling quite pessimistic. Miss Aida's attitude of taking money to do things and not bothering with trivial matters is impossible to frame Brother Mori for no reason. Alas, I'm afraid Mori really drank too much and his brain was damaged. But why did it break out during this period? Could it be that the contraband in the Ginza incident last week was the last straw that broke the camel's back after ten years of accumulation? "Well..."

Nurse Huizi said weakly: "In fact, I also know that Dr. Eto went to Mr. Maori's room. He told me and Xinzi at the nurse's station that if Dr. Shirai goes there again, call him."

Xinzi is also a nurse and was at the scene at the time. Hearing this, she nodded quickly.

Kudo Shinichi and Amuro Toru looked at each other and thought in their hearts that as expected, Eto had successfully discovered Shirai Mitsuo's conspiracy, but he didn't seem to think about counter-killing, just wanted to prevent Shirai Mitsuo's plan from being achieved.

"Alas..."

Megure Jusan squatted slightly, put his hand on the shoulder of Maori Kogoro who was in a state of dismay, and said in a muffled voice:

"Brother Maori, can you remember anything?"

Mauri Kogoro stared at him for a long time, his eyes were a little distracted, but he still shook his head.

Megure Jusan sighed in his heart and stood up to...

"Uncle Maori."

Hmm? !

Megure Jusan immediately looked at Kudo Shinichi who had spoken with a hopeful look on his face, and heard him ask in a thoughtful tone:

"You can't remember saying these words at that time, could you have said them at other times?"

Megure Jusan's eyes lit up: "Yes! It might be a recording broadcast. Eto Shengli recorded what Brother Mori said before, and then wrote his own dialogue based on those words, pretending to be talking to you, Miss Aida..."

Megure Jusan suddenly paused.

He originally wanted to seek verification from Aida Masayo, asking her if she really saw Mori Kogoro speak, instead of just hearing the sound.

But after he saw Aida Masayo's slightly frowned brows, he couldn't ask anymore.

Yes.
