People live from five to nine in Conan

"Mr. Takasugi, let me ask another question."

Facing Takasugi Toshihiko who was speechless, Mu Yuan suddenly said:

"Assuming that your mother was killed by Sergeant Matsumoto, why don't you poison Sergeant Matsumoto directly?"

Takasugi Toshihiko breathed a sigh of relief, and said again, "...Kill, what's the use of killing him? I just want him to feel the pain of watching his beloved relatives die but helpless!"

"Is that so... To put it simply, just killing the murderer can't satisfy your desire. Is it satisfying only to see the murderer go through the same pain as yourself or even worse?"

"What... I, I'm not..."

"Mr. Gao Sugi, you don't have to be embarrassed. It's normal for people who have been hurt to have some unusual and perverted thoughts."

"you……"

"However, is it really the murderer who killed your mother that you hate?"

"Of course! If it wasn't for that cold and heartless guy Matsumoto..."

"What about yourself?"

"Me, myself? What..."

"Mr. Takasugi, don't you hate yourself?"

"Why should I..."

"Because you said, your mother was obviously saved, but you watched her die in front of you, shouldn't you hate yourself?"

"Me, I was just a kid!"

"Just a child, can you watch your mother die without making any attempts and efforts, can you still live with peace of mind?"

"I, of course I did!"

"Besides trying to stop Sheriff Matsumoto?"

"..."

"Just sit quietly in front of your own mother?"

"..."

"At that time, you were already seven years old, right? Ask the surrounding residents for help, or find out if there is a phone booth nearby to call the police or find an ambulance. If you work hard, you should still be able to do it, right?"

"..."

"It seems that you also felt that you could do better at that time. Maybe, as long as you find a nearby resident with a car parked in the courtyard, and muster up the courage to knock on the door of his house, your mother can..."

"enough!!!"

Takasugi Toshihiko, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly broke out, and he roared hoarsely.

Then, as if all his strength had been exhausted, he slowly slumped on the ground, murmuring incessantly:

"It's all, it's all his fault. If he could have driven his mother first..."

Takasugi Toshihiko's voice became smaller and smaller, and the eyes of the four girls in the room looked at him with pity.

The person in front of him was a pitiful but even more hateful coward.

"So, Mr. Takasugi..." Seeing that Toshihiko Takasugi was completely speechless, Mu Yuan said calmly, "The reason why you don't want to take revenge on the serial murderer who killed your mother is not because you don't hate him, It's because the person you hate the most is yourself."

"It's a pity that you don't have enough courage to hate yourself, because you know that it will make the rest of your life too heavy for you to afford."

"So, you can only aim at the only target that gives you a chance not to hate yourself, and put all the blame on him."

"But it's a pity that even so, you can always see that cowardly and incompetent self in the nightmare of the night, so, in order to completely paralyze yourself... you can only choose to use more enjoyable, cruel, and more enjoyable way to get revenge..."

"Am I right, Mr. Takasugi Toshihiko?"

……

Amidst Mu Yuan's unwavering narration, Toshihiko Takasugi's face also changed from fear to grief and finally returned to dead silence.

After a long silence, Takasugi Toshihiko raised his head with empty eyes and said softly, "You're right..."

...

Some people seem to be alive, but in fact...

Chapter 233 Hui Yuan Ai Appears With Love

"Damn it, who is it!? How dare you treat Mr. Matsumoto's daughter like this. If I see that bastard, I will definitely slap his face!"

In the emergency inpatient department of Mihua General Hospital, Kogoro Mouri, who had just completed the discharge procedures, yelled angrily, and was soon invited out of the ward by the nurses who rushed over after hearing the sound.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan had no choice but to end her visit to Sayuri Matsumoto ahead of schedule, and followed Kogoro to the corridor outside the ward.

"Father, calm down, the murderer has been taken away by police officer Mu Mu just now."

Mao Lilan comforted the emotional Kogoro, and nodded apologetically to Matsumoto Kiyonaga who was sitting on the bench in the corridor.

Kiyonaga Matsumoto forced a smile, then turned to look aside, Mu Yuan who was "playing" with the children with a camera, opened his mouth hesitantly.

...

"Brother Muyuan, you must have used other means, right? What is it? Tell me!"

Conan grabbed Muyuan's cassock and acted coquettishly, but the hidden look in his eyes was Huiyuan Ai who couldn't hide it.

Hui Yuanai stepped forward, slapped off Conan's hand holding Mu Yuan's cassock, and said coldly:

"The videotape of the interrogation of Takasugi Toshihiko is in the hands of the police. If you are so curious, why don't you go to Police Officer Megure?"

"Police, how could the police show such things to children..."

Conan shrank his neck embarrassingly, and finally did not continue to entangle.

Huihara Ai snorted coldly at Conan, then turned to look at Sayuri Matsumoto's ward, her eyes flickering slightly.

Although it was only the first time they met, she really admired this brave and silly woman in the ward.

It's a pity that the beauty guarded by this silly woman has become a hopeless dross.

...

"Great! Teacher Matsumoto is awake! Xiaolan! Teacher Matsumoto is awake!"

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko's exclamation came from the ward, and everyone in the corridor stood up one after another, and greeted him excitedly.

The nurse who drove Kogoro Mori out hurriedly stopped at the door.

"You, you can't go in!" The nurse looked at the group of burly men crowded in front of the door with fear on her face, and tremblingly said, "Sick, the patient needs to rest now!"

"I'm very sorry!" Kiyomaga Matsumoto hurriedly apologized, "Miss Nurse, my daughter is now..."

After confirming that the police officers who searched Section [-] had no intention of forcibly breaking in, the nurse let out a sigh of relief and explained, "The teacher has come to see you just now, and the emergency measures you took are very timely. Miss Matsumoto's life is no longer in danger. gone."

"Really!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga was shocked, and tears welled up in his usually fierce eyes.

"Great! Senior..." The police officers who were just about to cheer and celebrate fell silent again when they saw the appearance of their boss.

Encountering such a thing, it's just that you survived, what is there to celebrate?

"senior……"

"Ah, I'm fine, I'll trouble everyone today."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga raised his head and blinked vigorously, but it was a pity that he couldn't let the tears flow back into his eyes.

"Ha... I made everyone laugh, I'm going to the bathroom."

The police officers opened their mouths and quietly stepped aside.

...

"I'm going to the bathroom too."

Seeing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's figure disappear at the corner of the corridor, Mu Yuan also got up and said something to Hui Yuanai.

Haibara Ai nodded slightly, then glared at Conan.

Conan pretended not to see and turned his head, making a gesture to follow Mu Yuan's footsteps, Hui Yuanai then said coldly, "Sister Xiaolan."

Conan was immediately frozen in place.

...

...

"Sheriff Matsumoto, you owe me a favor."

In the washbasin of the men's bathroom, Mu Yuan looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga in the mirror, and said calmly.

Kiyomaga Matsumoto paused when he washed his hands, "Thank you about Sayuri, I will ask Megure to destroy that tape."

"No," Mu Yuan shook his head, "That kind of thing doesn't matter, it won't affect me."

"Will it have any effect..."

Kiyomaga Matsumoto's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help recalling Takasugi Toshihiko's expression changes in the video tape again.

Can such a terrifying interrogation ability really be leaked casually?

He couldn't help but look at the handsome face in the mirror again, and worried again in his heart.

Obviously possessing such abilities, why don't you just become a famous detective who is sought after by others, and insist on using the name of your honest junior...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Does it have to be Megure?"

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Matsumoto, I don't quite understand what you mean." Mu Yuan nodded first, then shook his head again.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned, "You should understand, with Muguro's ability, the police department is already the most suitable position for him."

"So, Police Chief Matsumoto is protecting Police Officer Megure?" Mu Yuan said clearly, "I understand, then, please make a choice."

"Choose? Are you threatening me?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga stared, and an inexplicable aura instantly spread out.

Mu Yuan shook his head unconsciously, and said with a smile, "You misunderstood, I mean the only chance between the Metropolitan Police Department and the detectives to reverse their identities."

"You want to..." Matsumoto Kiyoshi was startled, and soon understood what Mu Yuan meant.

But he didn't quite understand, what good would this do for Mu Yuan?

"You...why?" Matsumoto Kiyoshi finally couldn't help asking.

Mu Yuan suppressed the smile on his face, "Because Mihua Town is the place where I plan to live for the rest of my life, and the place where I don't want to live is the most unsafe city in the world."

"The most unsafe city, it would be too..."

"Hasn't Sheriff Matsumoto counted it? How many murders occurred in Mihua Town in the past year?"

"This……"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga choked suddenly. He thought that Mu Yuan was talking nonsense, but he suddenly recalled the file storage room that had undergone the third expansion just a few days ago...

It seems that since the debut of the famous high school student detective, the number of murders in Mihua Town has indeed...

"Ahem, this is just a coincidence. Even if people can recognize the identities of the police officers, it's still..."

"Accidentally? Did Sergeant Matsumoto always like to lie to himself?" Mu Yuan interrupted, "If it weren't for the fact that detectives are becoming more and more popular, and now even elementary school students are starting to play detective games, so many things would really happen. A bizarre murder?"

"You mean to say that the murderers were under the supervision of the detectives..."

"It's not the murderer, but everyone. Everyone in this city and country has been affected by this trend." Mu Yuan interrupted again, "People are social animals. It will quietly affect the people around me. Once the pursuit of detectives who are good at solving difficult criminal cases becomes a trend, everyone will involuntarily have the same thinking under this trend-if I am a detective, can I solve this difficult case? If I am a murderer, can I escape the detection of detectives?"

"The impact of this trend on ordinary people may only be a change in the topic of chatting after dinner, but for those potential suspects who may commit crimes, or even contemplate crimes... Isn't it a great encouragement and motivation?"

Seeing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's widening eyes, Mu Yuan was silent for a moment, and put that flawless smile on his face again:

"Sheriff Matsumoto, the detective, is the root of all instability!"

"Wh, what!?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga was shocked, and looked at Mu Yuan in disbelief.

As a policeman, Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not want to be a foil to the detectives, but he always believed that as long as the case could be solved smoothly, a little loss of face was nothing worth worrying about.

Detectives earn fame and money, but the police do their job well, don't they?

As a policeman, as a man, how can he be aggrieved by this?

But Mu Yuan provided him with a brand new way of thinking

——What if everything is due to the growth of the detective?

Although this logic is not very strict, but from the perspective of a policeman, could the increasing number of unsolved cases be really affected by the trend that Mu Yuan said?
