Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 116

Not long after, the other people involved in the roundup finally made a detour to the other end of the alley.

Seeing the motionless Sawaki on the ground, Police Officer Shiratori almost thought that Kogoro Mori had avenged his personal revenge and beat him to death. He was so frightened that he hurried forward to check the other person's breathing, and only let go after confirming that he had just passed out. in one breath.

However, Ishino, who was standing by the side, keenly noticed the crossbow arrow not far from the entrance of the alley, and guessed that the prisoner should have launched the attack that threatened the life of Mori Kogoro first. At most, it was an over-defense. With Fei Yingli's defense strength, it can be easily settled, so there is no need to worry about it.

However, in Ishino's memory, it is rare to see Mori Kogoro attacking so ruthlessly. It is probably because the prisoner touched Fei Eri this time, and there were no other people around when he did it, so some He didn't hold back his strength.

After confirming the identity of the prisoner, Shiratori Ren Saburo took several other people to take pictures around the scene to collect evidence, and collected the hand crossbow and crossbow bolts dropped by the prisoner as evidence, then asked Chiba and Shinobu to stay at the scene and wait for the traffic department to respond. Colleagues came to deal with the motorcycle left by the prisoner, and he and several others moved Zemu Fair into the car and sent him to Mihua General Hospital for treatment.

That night, Zeki woke up from the hospital bed. Ishino and Mori Kogoro, who got the news from Shiratori Rensaburo, rushed to the hospital, and Conan also followed Uncle Mori because Xiaolan was accompanying his concubine Eri in the hospital and he didn't want to be alone at home. act together.

When they came to the inpatient department of the hospital, several people learned from Shiratori Ren Sanlang who was waiting in front of Zemu Fair's ward that although the other party admitted that the two previous injuries were caused by himself, they did not mention the motive of the crime. The other party has already fallen asleep, and it is temporarily inconvenient to see anyone.

"What kind of injury incident, it's clearly an attempted murder!" At this moment, Kogoro Mori roared out, filled with the anger of being betrayed by his friends for many years.

Seeing that Kogoro Mori was so excited, Ren Saburo Shiratori hurriedly appease the other party, beckoning him to be calm and calm, saying that the police have sent people to the other party's home to investigate, and evidence to prove the other party's motives should be found soon.

After Mori Kogoro calmed down a bit, Ishino asked Shiratori Rensaburo to take a look at Sawaki's fair inspection report.

Shiratori thought that Ishino was worried about the behavior of Mori Kogoro when he arrested the prisoner before, and caused some physical or mental harm to the prisoner, which led to the resistance of the prisoner, so he showed him the inspection report and said that Zemu was fair except A little concussion is fine.

After carefully reading the inspection report, Ishino found the answer he wanted, so he asked Officer Shiratori, "Officer Shiratori, have you investigated any other suspicious people who may have hatred for Mr. Mori?"

"Although there have been investigations before, no specific personnel have been screened out yet." Shiratori looked at Ishino and asked doubtfully, "Do you mean that Zemu Fair has other criminal accomplices?"

Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, Ishino shook his head and said: "No, I was just thinking, why did the other party go to such lengths to use the sequence of playing cards to kill people? Generally speaking, designing such complicated puzzles is not to confuse the eyes, then Just to blame others."

Hearing what Ishino said, Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped the key to the problem, and confirmed with a voice: "Uncle Ishino, if we haven't caught the criminal, will the other party continue to commit crimes according to the law? Maybe the prisoner There are people who really want to kill after this!"

"I've seen an ABC murder case in a book before, and the criminal used a similar method to mix up the real target." Conan expressed his thoughts excitedly.

Shi Ye nodded and continued to analyze: "If there happens to be a person who satisfies the characteristic of having a grudge against Mr. Mori and also has a close relationship with playing cards, then it perfectly fits the murderer's target."

After Ishino's analysis, Shiratori Ren Saburo and Mori Kogoro both felt that this possibility was not low, so Shiratori immediately notified the colleagues of the Metropolitan Police Department to screen out those who contained these characteristic points.

At this time, a nurse came to the ward with a stack of medicines, opened the door and walked in, and called Zemu Fairy who was lying down and pretending to sleep, telling him that he needed to take medicine now.

Seeing that Zemu Fairy had woken up, everyone followed into the ward. After the other party took the medicine brought by the nurse, Kogoro Mori took the lead and asked, "Zawaki, why do you want to kill Eri? She I have been friends with you for many years!"

"I didn't mean to kill her, otherwise I wouldn't just use medicine." Facing the aggressive Mori Kogoro, Zemu responded in a neutral manner, and then kept silent.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to tell the truth, Mori Kogoro had no choice but to ask another question: "Since what you really want to kill is not Eri, and you don't seem to want to kill Officer Megure and Dr. The intention of the dead hand, so who is your real target?"

"Detective Maori, what do you mean by all this? Why do I not understand at all?" Ze Mugong said with a smile on his lips, "You can't conclude that I will kill other people just because of your guesses, right?"

Seeing the other party's stubborn mouth, Mori Kogoro has no choice. After all, unless he has the key evidence, it is impossible for the other party to admit all the crimes based on his own inference.

If the other party insists on this and does not let go, then at most they will bear the responsibility for two attempted murders and one damage to other people's property, and they will be released after a few years of imprisonment.

However, how could Ishino allow such dangerous elements to continue to appear around him, so he said directly to Zemu Fairy: "Mr. Zemu, I am afraid that even if you continue to remain silent, it is just deception, because we already know your There is a motive for the crime.”

Ze Mugong's expression froze suddenly when he heard the words, but he quickly regained his composure, with an unmoved look on his face.

Mori, Shiratori, and Conan standing beside Ishino all showed shocked expressions at this time, wondering when Ishino had grasped such crucial information, but they didn't find anything.

Ishino didn't keep a few people waiting, and continued to calmly say: "I think you should have a taste disorder due to an accident, so you have to kill the culprit who caused you to become like this Thoughts to die for."

"How did you know that?!" Hearing this, Zemu Fairy couldn't calm down anymore, and couldn't help asking directly.
