The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Dudududu——

The phone in the ward was hung up, and no sound came from the headset for a long time.

"Suigetsu-kun."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

Obviously she could only hear the voice in the headset, and it was obviously a friend she had only become familiar with recently, but at this moment, it gave her the only comfort.

"Nothing, what are you going to do now?"

"I have no idea."

Xiaolan looked at the delicate white flowers in the flower bed, which were shaking violently in the night breeze, as if they were about to break at any time, and sighed softly.

"Maybe there is some reason why they didn't tell me. After all, I really don't have a clue."

"You are wrong. If they let you participate in the investigation, they might be able to find unexpected breakthroughs."

"Don't comfort people like this, it's too fake."

"This is not a consolation. In short, they made a huge mistake by excluding you in every aspect. If there is really a so-called mastermind behind these things, he will definitely be very happy."

Xiaolan shook her head slightly: "Instead of talking about these, you might as well say that Xinyi and the police don't have much clues yet, so that I don't look so stupid."

"It's just not enough clues. It has nothing to do with the mind."

"Oh, what about Suigetsu-kun?"

"I'm not good at reasoning, and I don't know the whole story; I don't know Mr. Mori, and I don't know his character and logic; I've never seen Miss Towako and the concubine's lawyer, and I don't know the similarities and differences in their appearance, and it's even more impossible to complete the puzzle. ”

Xiaolan thought for a while and recounted to Yingsheng what Towako told her about that night.

"What now?"

"There are indeed doubts, but nothing can be verified from this one-way perspective. Moreover, the police also have the multi-faceted perspectives of Mr. Mori and other witnesses. If there are problems, it will be more convenient for them to investigate."

"The key is why dad got it wrong, right?"

"Of course, that's assuming he didn't lie. And even so, I'm more inclined to think it was an accident. The reason is the same as what Officer Memu said. People who are seriously drunk have unreliable eyesight."

"Especially since Miss Towako also wore glasses at the time. Maybe it was because of this that Dad admitted his mistake?"

"I think this is very likely, but we still have to wait for the police investigation. By the way, why don't you go back to the ward? Your mother should be ready to leave."

Xiaolan sighed, stood up, and walked to the ward.

"The result is that there is no difference between now and before. Alas, Mr. Shuiyue, you were right last time. I am really just a vase now."

"As I said, there are not enough clues. Don't feel sorry for yourself. If you really want to get involved, just go to the Metropolitan Police Department and have a showdown with them later."

"Forget it, if you do that, you won't be able to guess their reaction."

"Take a tougher attitude. Show your dissatisfaction. It will be uncomfortable if you keep suppressing it."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"White teeth, it sounds really bleak. But with all due respect, attitudes are not developed in a day. You are also responsible for the way they treat you now."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xiaolan said helplessly: "It seems that Mr. Suigetsu has a lot of opinions on Yamato Nadeshiko, but I am not gentle enough to make them think that I am a little white flower in the greenhouse who cannot withstand any wind and rain. "

"That's half of it. The other problems come from themselves. Well... this is out of love for you."

"That's why I can't help it."

"Oh, are you aware of the existence of shackles?"

"I didn't say that."

It is true that Xiaolan did not declare this to her mouth, but when she saw her mother again in the hospital corridor and the first sentence she heard was "Xiaolan, be careful when you go back alone," would she have any other thoughts in her heart? ?

She couldn't explain it herself.

"When you call her, she goes away. Oh my, it's really convenient to have a daughter like this. She can do housework, cook, study and exercise first-class on weekdays. She never has to worry about the family. On the contrary..."

"Shut up, you."

Watching the elevator door where her mother was riding close, she was in a complicated mood when a sarcastic comment came from her earphones, and Xiaolan interrupted angrily.

"I'm not a child anymore. Of course, my parents' business is more important."

"Then the question is, isn't cherishing your family and cherishing you considered a serious matter?"

"..."

Xiaolan didn't want to think about this problem, so she silently returned to the previous ward. The flower basket was still placed on the bedside, and its position had not even been moved. She walked over and took out the same mobile phone as the one on her left hand, turned on the screen and took a look at the time.

Saturday, 0:58.

"Good night, Suigetsu-kun."

"Good night."

Things at Mihua Central Hospital came to an end for the time being, and after a brief night of noise, silence returned.

On the other side, the ward in Ginza Hospital where the deceased was found was in full swing. A group of people were searching around, trying to find any clues.

But in the end nothing was found.

It is known that Gao Yuanyi committed suicide tonight, so he must have received some news, so why is there no discovery here?

Kudo Shinichi looked at the mobile phone that had been put into the evidence bag, his eyes flickering.

"Ask the Scientific Investigation Department for help when we get back."

If the man behind the scenes contacted Gao Yuanyi by phone and deleted the records afterwards, then he would have made a big mistake!

Megure Thirteen nodded, leaving the two police officers to finish the work, and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department with Kudo Shinichi. Ten minutes later, the two went to the detention room, where a middle-aged man with a mustache was pacing back and forth restlessly.

"Officer Megure, is Eri here?"

As soon as he saw the person coming, he quickly came over.

Chapter 38 Mouri Kogoro, all three poisons!

"The concubine's lawyer has come over, and Miss Towako is now helping with makeup."

Mumu Thirteen entered the detention room, closed the door, found a chair and sat down, his voice was quite tired.

Seeing Mouri Kogoro opening his mouth to speak, Megure Thirteen shook his head again: "Brother Maori, you should understand those two people. They have very good personalities. Since they agreed to cooperate with the investigation, there will be no other situations."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro sat down slumped.

"I...I'm sorry for them."

He let out a long sigh, and combined with his already decadent temperament and messy hair, he looked like a homeless man on the street.

Mumu Shisan's eyelids twitched: "Brother Maori, what are you thinking about? Never say the word 'them'."

"That's not what I meant, it's just..."

"It's nothing, brother Maori, after this incident, you have to get rid of some bad habits. And Miss Towako also said that she hopes you will never bother her again in the future, and it is best to forget her completely."

Mouri Kogoro opened his mouth, but said nothing for a long time, while Megure Thirteen continued to exhort:

"You will see the wrong person. I guess Miss Towako is just a substitute in your heart. What you really care about is Lawyer Fei. Brother Maori, you have also seen Lawyer Fei's various behaviors in this matter. She cares about you very much. I’d better apologize to her seriously later.”

Mouri Kogoro smiled bitterly: "Officer Megure, you don't understand."

"What's not clear about this? Isn't it just that Towako is more gentle?" Megure Shisan frowned, "Brother Mori, you said that if you went to a Ginza nightclub without paying, would she still have the same attitude towards you?"

A hash mark appeared on Mouri Kogoro's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Towako is not that kind of person!"

"I won't argue with you about this. Anyway, she said she doesn't want to see you again in the future. Just don't go over there and bring trouble on yourself. As for the problem between you and the concubine's lawyer, no matter how you look at it, it's all your fault. Can't you just bow your head and surrender? "

"I...I...sigh..."

Mouri Kogoro stuttered for a long time without coming up with a clear attitude, and finally shook his head and sighed.

"Let's get back to the case, Officer Megure."

Megure Thirteen felt angry in his heart, wondering how his long-time friend had become such a bear. But just as he was about to speak again, Kudo Shinichi beat him to it.

"Officer Megure, we only have a few hours left."

After hearing this, Megure Thirteen had no choice but to temporarily put aside his desire to exhort his old friend, and explained to the slightly stunned Mouri Kogoro:

"On my way back, I received a call from Matsumoto Police. He said that he was willing to support us in continuing the investigation, but we also need to consider the distribution of police forces and public opinion. I hope we can strike a good balance."

He looked at Kudo Shinichi again, "Honestly, if it weren't for Brother Kudo, I'm afraid this case wouldn't be advancing as it is now. Of course, Tokyo is lucky enough not to have other murders these days, which is also a reason."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head slightly, looking apologetic.

"The Matsumoto Police Department is also thinking about you, Officer Megure. The First Investigation Department obtained a large amount of criminal evidence of the Nikai Association tonight, and also killed Tatsuzo Watanuki, a cadre of the Nikai Association who resisted. The Third Investigation Department has been accompanying you these days. I……"

"Haha, as long as I can do things, it's fine. Anyway, I'm not in the professional group, so promotion is far away."

Megure Thirteen interrupted Kudo Shinichi. The pressure of reality did exist, but the sense of justice in his heart kept telling him that this is what he should do!

pity.

Now things are getting more and more serious, and even his superiors finally couldn't help but ask about it, and he has nothing to do.

Kudo Shinichi also felt a burst of pressure, and with sharp eyes, he looked at Mouri Kogoro, who had been silent for a long time.

"Uncle Maori, please retell what happened that day. Now I need to combine the other perspectives obtained from the investigation and conduct a comprehensive analysis again."

Mouri Kogoro let out a long sigh.

"Is there any cigarette?"

A smile just appeared on Mu Mu Thirteen's face, but when he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Brother Maori, what did I just tell you? You must quit smoking! Have you forgotten the results of your urine test that day? Take this as a warning!”

There was bitterness in Mouri Kogoro's eyes: "How did I know that the cigarette she handed me was spiked? Oh, is there a problem with her identity?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head and said: "Mie Kanako, one of the two waitresses that Takahara Yi ordered for you, she has been working there for half a year. The box of cigarettes was left to her by her guest the night before, saying it can be eliminated All the worries.

And that night you happened to be in a bad mood, so she handed you a cigarette.

According to subsequent inquiries, she should have vaguely known that something was wrong with the pack of cigarettes, but she could not confirm it. The police have now detained her. "

"Oh, it's hard for you to do anything for her."

Mouri Kogoro sighed: "In order to make customers spend more generously, things like that are actually very common in nightclubs. Don't accept any suspicious tobacco or alcohol there, and don't touch things that have been left in your hands. This is basic common sense. I That day……

Alas, I just didn't expect that the always clean Towako would start to have that kind of thing. "

Bang! ! !

Megure Jusan angrily slammed the table: "Are you crazy?! Brother Maori! You have to be alert!"

Kudo Shinichi also frowned: "Uncle Maori, have you ever thought about how Xiaolan and Aunt Eri would look at you if they knew about this?"

Mouri Kogoro was speechless and silent for a few seconds, and then sighed for the nth time.

"Don't worry, this is my first time and the last time. And didn't the test report say that it's not something that is addictive, it just promotes heart rate and accelerates blood circulation, it won't be a problem."

"Don't underestimate them, brother Maori!"

Megure Jusan gritted his teeth and decided to use a big move: "I will definitely check you from time to time in the future, so that you won't fall into an irretrievable situation one day, I hope you will cooperate."

"!!!"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Megure Jusan's heavy expression, and felt a surge in his chest, tears almost rolled out of his eyes, and nodded heavily.

"Thank you!"

Friendship between men needs no further explanation. Maori Kogoro raised his sleeve and wiped his face, then immediately returned to the topic and began to recount what happened that day.

"I was about to leave the office that day when Yamada Okao came to my door.

He somehow knew about my relationship with Eri and asked me to ask Eri to help him with the lawsuit.

Of course I couldn't agree, so he kept nagging me and kept playing the victim, which made me very annoyed. I sneaked to Ginza on the pretext of having something to do.

He kept calling me on the way, and he continued to call after I hung up. He was persistent. In the end, I simply muted it and let him talk for as long as he wanted.

When we arrived at the nightclub, Yamada Okao's phone had stopped calling, and I thought I was relieved.

As a result, as soon as I called out Towako, the guy turned around in the booth, his eyes shining, and forced himself to drink with me, saying that he had come here alone to drink to relieve his sorrow.
