The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Midori Kuriyama, the assistant who worked overtime with Eri Kisaki, called an ambulance immediately. Recalling that sentence, she thought something might be wrong and called the police.

Less than ten minutes after the police learned of the incident, the Shinjuku Hospital also received a warning and found the deceased.

After a simple review, Megure Jusan looked at the body on the bed with a solemn expression.

"This way, we can roughly determine the time of the crime, which is around 11:15 after the phone call was hung up. Brother Kudo, I will now go to fully check the list of suspects that has been tentatively determined, and I will definitely find the murderer!"

Megure Jusan turned around and was about to leave, but stopped the next second, just because Shinichi Kudo sighed softly.

"He really committed suicide."

Force, direction, angle, death reaction, no signs of struggle... In Shinichi Kudo's analysis, countless details can clearly show that there was no second person involved in the death of Yoshi Takahara.

Not long after, the test results of Yoshi Takahara's blood sample were also freshly released, confirming that he had not fallen into any degree of anesthesia before his death.

"This...what on earth is going on..."

The evidence from all sides is clear, and Megure Jusan can only accept the fact that Gaoyuan Yi committed suicide, muttering in disbelief.

They have basically determined that there is a mastermind behind this series of events, but how did he make a person commit suicide willingly?

Death squads or something...

This is not the Edo period now!

Kudo Shinichi kept thinking: "From the loan shark that he could never repay, Gaoyuan Yi had a certain tendency to be pessimistic. As long as he can help him achieve a wish that he can never fulfill, it is not impossible to make him commit suicide.

The key now is to find out this matter, and it is very likely that it happened tonight."

"Tonight... tonight?!"

Megure Jusan muttered, his eyes lit up: "Could it be a gang fight at Watanuki Credit Co., Ltd.? Many people died there, and there might be Gaoyuan Yi's enemies. The person behind the scenes helped him to avenge, and he committed suicide!"

Kudo Shinichi pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"Because it involves loan sharking, we also went to the first department to ask for details. They said that it was a conflict between a new gang and Nican. Even if the computer data has been destroyed, the funds involved are estimated to be at least 1 billion yen.

And the insurance purchased by Xuesong Kiyoko, even if it is fully compensated, is only 500 million. If she is capable of doing that, why does she have to do it here?"

Sato Miwako retorted: "What if she wants both?"

"It's impossible."

Kudo Shinichi looked solemn: "In fact, this is what I have always been confused about. What is her purpose in involving Uncle Mori and Lawyer Hime?

Even if she succeeds in obtaining the insurance money, we have already set our sights on the money. How can she get it into her own hands and use it reasonably?"

The ward fell into silence for a while, and no one could give answers to these questions.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz! ! !

Megure Jusan's mobile phone suddenly rang. He took a look and quickly answered it. Xiaolan's voice came from the microphone.

"My mother is awake, and she has something to say to the police."

Chapter 36: The pain and entanglement of Hibari Eri

--"Because of your existence."

--"Because of your husband's existence."

--"The last hope in my life has been destroyed, and I no longer have the courage to live."

--"Goodbye, this ugly world."

--"I won't come again next time."

The above are the last words left by Gao Yuanyi after he called Hibari Eri.

The impact of these words on Hibari Eri's spirit can be imagined. When she clearly heard the faint sound of the sharp weapon piercing her flesh, her brain suddenly went blank.

When she regained consciousness again, what she saw was the pale ceiling in the hospital ward.

That paleness was so piercing to the skin, and so cold and piercing!

Fortunately, there was still a trace of warmth in her hand.

When Hibari Eri's empty sight was attracted by that trace of warmth, and when she saw her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed, a little crystal emerged unconsciously from the corner of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan."

She murmured in a low voice for no reason.

Recently, because of family matters... no, it has been since ten years ago, because of family matters, this child has been very tired. What position have she and Maori Kogoro placed Xiaolan in these years?

Hiki Eri's eyes were full of pity. She raised her upper body slightly and wanted to touch her daughter's head with her other hand.

But as soon as she moved, Xiaolan immediately opened her sleepy eyes. When she saw that the movement came from her, her eyes quickly became clear, she smiled gently, and stood up and hugged her.

"Mom, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'm always here."

Hiki Eri's eyes trembled slightly, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Ten years ago, what did she give up?

The hand hanging in the air did not fall for a long time. When Hiiki Eri's stiff body finally became soft again and she wanted to touch her daughter's hair.

Xiaolan gently pushed her away.

"I'm sorry, I'm too childish. I knew my mother was in a hurry to call the police, but I still took up her time like this." Xiaolan took out her rose-red smartphone apologetically and called Megure Jusan.

"My mother is awake, and she has something to say to the police."

After saying this, Xiaolan handed the phone to her mother, turned around and walked out the door, waving her hand and laughing softly.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

Since everyone wants to hide it from her, she might as well be more conscious and avoid it herself.

Looking at her daughter's back as she left, Hibiki opened her mouth, but no sound came out. After even hesitating for a few seconds, she got up from the bed, walked to the door of the ward, and confirmed that Xiaolan was not eavesdropping.

Sorry, Xiaolan.

But if you know about this kind of adult matter, you will only be sad in vain. Mom and Dad are worried about you.

Megure Jusan asked on the other side of the phone. Hibiki walked back to the bed and sat down. Only then did she find an exquisite flower basket on the bedside table.

The light blue baby's breath filled the flower basket, and several elegant lilies were arched. The delicate petals swayed gently in the wind, and there were a few dewdrops condensed in the night.

Hibiki's fingertips gently stroked the vines of the flower basket, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.

Xiaolan, this child, has really grown up.

"Aunt Eri?"

Kudo Shinichi asked from the other side of the phone. Eri Kisaki took back her hand, her eyes quickly calmed down, and she calmly recounted what happened before.

After hearing Gaoyuan Yi's last words, Megure Jusan sighed softly. Now he was 100% sure that he committed suicide, but what was he doing?

"Kudo family, do you still think this is not an accident?" After talking about what happened before, Eri Kisaki asked coldly.

"Aunt Eri, you also saw the two words of Beihua Central Park." Kudo Shinichi answered calmly.

"A lady's cigarette box with no fingerprints, a broken kite that has been abandoned for who knows how long and faded, what can this mean? Those two words were pieced together by you, who knows what their original meaning is."

Kudo Shinichi was silent for a few seconds, "Aunt Eri said it was just a coincidence, do you believe it yourself?"

Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth: "Okay! Do you have other evidence? Don't just guess."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless.

"Since there is no other evidence so far, I ask you, Kudo family, if there really is a mastermind behind the scenes, why did he leave such words mocking the police?

You said his purpose was to defraud insurance, but the situation has developed to this point, and the 500 million yen has attracted the attention of many people. Isn't it contrary to what he wanted?

The reason is that he left that thing that can barely be regarded as evidence?

If there is no such thing, I don't know if you can stick to your ideas all the time, and if the police can accompany you to investigate the case without closing it. But in any case, that kind of situation is beneficial to the mastermind, isn't it?

Don't tell me that it was out of the arrogance of criminals. You said that he was meticulous and clever in his layout, and he would never act on impulse for no reason!"

After the long speech of Eri Kisaki, the wards of the two hospitals fell into silence.

Kudo Shinichi could not answer these questions.

Because this is also what he couldn't figure out.

What exactly did the mastermind want to do? He left that mocking sentence at that time. It couldn't be just a brain twitch!

Without more evidence, this problem cannot be figured out, so we have to put it aside for now and investigate other directions first.

Kudo Shinichi changed the subject: "Aunt Eri, can you please go to the Metropolitan Police Department now? We hope to compare you and Miss Towako from all angles to confirm the specific reason why Uncle Mori was used that night."

There was silence on the other side of the phone, with only a faint sound of creaking joints.

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while: "I'm sorry to let Aunt Eri go so late, but because the situation has escalated, I'm worried that if I continue to delay, other changes may occur, so..."

"Ahem!"

Megure Jusan interrupted: "Don't misunderstand, Lawyer Hime, we didn't think of comparing you and Towako, we just want to investigate the truth of the case. As for what Brother Mori said... that..."

Megure Jusan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I also think he is too much, but it sounds quite sincere, not like he is making excuses for himself, you... "

"Heh~"

Hiki Eri sneered: "So he mistook that woman for me, right? It turns out that in his mind, I shouldn't be a lawyer, but should be a nightclub hostess."

"That's not the case at all!"

Megure Jusan hurriedly explained: "Brother Maori was just drunk at the time, very drunk, and probably kept thinking about you, lawyer Fei, and then accidentally saw it. "

"Then isn't this just a coincidence? Let's close the case quickly, what else do you want me to do?"

Hiki Eri's voice was cold, and Megure Jusan was sweating profusely, but he really couldn't find any words to say. After all, any woman with a legitimate profession would probably not be in a good mood if she was compared with a nightclub mama-san.

There is a saying that there is no distinction between high and low professions, but the reality...

Maybe it's like this.

Megure Jusan looked at Kudo Shinichi for help. Kudo Shinichi thought for two seconds, took out his mobile phone, and called Maori Kogoro.

Don't ask why Maori Kogoro still has a cell phone when he is detained. This is just a little willfulness of "relationship".

Kudo Shinichi explained the situation to him and turned on the speakerphone. Five seconds later.

"Eri, I'm sorry..."

The voice was a little vicissitudes and trembling.

On the other side, Xiaolan, who was sitting on a bench next to the flower bed in the courtyard of Beihua Central Hospital, sighed slightly and turned down the volume of the headset a little.

Mom and Dad, will you reconcile tonight?

Chapter 37 In the name of love, the original sin of arrogance!

There is an ear hidden in the flower basket beside the bed of Hibiki Eri.

It is not a bug, but another mobile phone. After all, the former is a little difficult for Yingsheng to explain.

Two new mobile phones and flower baskets were handed to Xiaolan by a young female employee wearing a courier uniform, a mask and a cap at the entrance of Mika Central Hospital.

Xiaolan turned on the headset communication, thanked Yingsheng, and jokingly asked: Are the two mobile phones prepared for her to smash when she is angry again?

Yingsheng told her that before that, the mobile phone can have another use.

Of course, the premise is that she is willing.

Xiaolan thought for a long time and finally made up her mind.

She wanted to know the truth!

When Xiaolan took the initiative to call Megure Jusan and left the ward, she was looking forward to her mother calling her and telling her that she didn't have to leave. They are a family and they will face it together no matter what happens.

But, no.

With a slight disappointment, Xiaolan walked down the stairs and took out the headset at the first corner of the corridor.

Finally, she eavesdropped on the conversation between her mother and the police, heard the possible mastermind, heard her father's regret, and heard her mother's forgiveness...

It can't be said that it was complete forgiveness, but she was soft-hearted and decided to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the investigation.
