Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 113 Clues
After finishing the topic of pistols, Ren Saburo Shiratori continued to talk about the content of the case: "In addition, we also found a strange prop at the scene of the crime."

"That's it." As he said that, Shiratori took out the evidence bag he had obtained from the Chiba police officer before, and showed everyone the dagger made of cardboard inside.

Mori Kogoro frowned when he saw the paper sword, thinking that it might be a mark left by the prisoner, but he couldn't figure out how it had anything to do with the assassination of Police Officer Megure.

Looking at this strangely shaped western dagger, Conan also felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember it.

Seeing that everyone was frowning, Ishino, who already knew the answer, planned to push forward the progress of solving the case, so he expressed his opinion: "If this prop was left by the prisoner, I think the other party should be targeting Officer Megure himself. "

The reason why Ishino helped the police analyze this clue in advance was not to show off his reasoning ability in front of everyone, but if he didn't stop the criminal's subsequent actions, then Dr. A Li, a capable officer of his company, would probably be shot in the ass by an arrow And had to rest for a while.

Such a result is obviously unacceptable to Ishino, who has been racking his brains for the company's development. If anyone dares to touch a hair of the company's backbone at this critical moment, Ishino doesn't mind using the most cruel means to let the other party know why the flowers are so popular.

In addition, Ishino just promised his two daughters yesterday that if they learn Tai Chi within a week, he will take them to the newly opened marine entertainment facility "Water Crystal" in Tokyo Bay to have fun.

Although they are not little girls in their hearts, they still have no resistance to this kind of amusement park, and they are full of expectations to be able to play there.

If the plot was allowed to develop naturally, the entire playground might have been blown up by the prisoners before they got there; if it happened that they encountered an explosion when they went there to play, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

Hearing Ishino's words, Police Officer Meguro stood up excitedly and asked, "Mr. Ishino, have you already discovered the meaning of this thing?"

Ishino nodded and said: "Yes, I think this paper sword should be the short sword in the hand of the character on the K of Spades in the playing card, because I usually like to play some poker magic, so I have an impression of this pattern. It's more profound."

"Then how did you come to the conclusion that the other party's target is Police Officer Megure?" Ren Saburo Shiratori continued to ask.

"I think what Mr. Ishino wants to express should refer to the K in the playing cards, which can be regarded as the number 13 in general understanding, and the name of Police Officer Megure happens to be thirteen." Contrary to Conan's expectations, Maori Kogoro actually understood the meaning faster than himself.

However, considering that Uncle Maori plays games like mahjong and poker every day, it is normal for Conan to feel that the other party is more sensitive than himself in this regard.

It's just that what Conan didn't know was that at this moment, Mouri Kogoro had a bad feeling in his heart for some reason, and it seemed that something bad was about to happen.

As if to confirm his premonition, Xiaolan's cell phone rang suddenly at this moment, and from her screams, everyone learned that Xiaolan's mother, Concubine Eri, was rushed to Dongdu University Hospital due to poisoning News of the rescue.

……

An hour later, police officer Shiratori took the Mori family to the Toto University Hospital, and after Ishino ordered his two daughters to take the three little ones home, he followed everyone to visit Fei Yingli.

Because the accident was too strange and the timing was so coincidental, it was inevitable that people would be connected with the attack on Police Officer Megure. Therefore, when the clue provider Ishino proposed to go together, no one raised any objections.

After waiting outside the operating room for more than ten minutes, the door of the operating room finally opened, and the doctors and nurses in charge of the operation came out one after another.

"How is my mother?" Seeing the doctor coming out, Xiaolan asked anxiously.

After taking off the mask and surgical cap, the doctor replied with a smile: "Don't worry, we have cleaned her stomach, and her life should not be in danger now."

"Really, that's good, thank you very much." Hearing this, Mori Kogoro's frown finally relaxed, and the nervousness on Xiaolan's face at the side also eased a lot.

Shiratori Ren Sanlang, who was in charge of the case investigation, took out his notebook and asked the doctor, "Excuse me, is Ms. Concubine really suffering from food poisoning?"

"Yes, after our tests, it should be poisonous substances such as pesticides." The doctor replied, taking the inspection report and handing it to the other party.

At this time, Fei Yingli, who had regained her sanity, was pushed out of the operating room by the nurses. Xiaolan ran over immediately, and then Mori Kogoro and Conan also walked to her side, and Ishino, who had been standing silently by the side, followed Everyone stepped forward and saw the legendary queen of the legal world.

"Eri, are you alright?" Mori Kogoro asked calmly while standing beside the bed with his head tilted.

Fei Yingli looked at the stinky man in front of her who made herself very angry when she finally met last week, and jokingly said, "Why, so you are here too."

Looking at Mori Kogoro with a slightly embarrassed expression, Ishino thought that this uncle was really awkward, he was obviously worried that his wife would die, but he insisted on pretending to be indifferent to make him angry.

In his memory, this time Mori Kogoro, under the help of Xiaolan, finally met and had a meal with his wife who had been separated for many years after many days, but suddenly cared about a certain club mother-san in the middle, what do you think? All seemed very abrupt.

In fact, from the reaction of Mori Kogoro when he learned of Fei Yingli's accident, or the details reflected in other stories, we can see that although Mori Kogoro spends his time everywhere, he actually only has the other party in his heart.

Based on the fact that Kogoro Mori would make weird moves every time he missed the chance to get back together, Ishino had reason to suspect that he was deliberately keeping himself separated from the other party in order to achieve something that would not allow the other party to get back together. knowing purpose.

However, there is still no evidence to prove this suspicion, so Ishino just observed the other party silently, believing that one day he can solve this mystery.

Knowing that Feiyingli still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a day, Xiaolan and Feiyingli's assistant Kuriyama Mido accompanied her to the ward.

"I didn't expect Officer Megure to have an accident first, and now Eri. Is this really just a coincidence?" Seeing Fei Eri leave, Mori Kogoro immediately withdrew his previous nonchalant expression and began to think seriously.
