Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 133 Yingsheng's Simple Reasoning

Is Kogoro Mouri going to be sent to a mental hospital?
This sounds like good news, but it makes Yingsheng a little confused. He didn't do anything, so how could something unexpected happen to him?
It seems that he is just an ordinary person.

It's all Mr. Maori's own problem.

"What exactly happened?" Yingsheng asked.

Xiaolan said as she walked: "Dad woke up after 11:30 last night and saw someone committing a crime on the opposite building. He called the police and rushed over, but found nothing.

This was the second time. If he wasn't familiar with Inspector Megure, he would have been suspected of making a false report.

My father's attending physician, Dr. Shirai, said that he had a mental disorder caused by alcoholism and excessive stress.

Miss Aida suspected that she was also responsible for the treatment, so she directly suggested that her father be transferred to a mental hospital.

Dr. Shirai disagrees, and my father himself is confused. Officer Megure called me this morning and asked for my opinion, and I said I would think about it. "

"hiss--"

Yingsheng felt a little jealous. Miss Aida, are you so proactive in taking responsibility?
Although this suggestion is good, isn't it still related to him?
Feeling quite helpless, Yingsheng took out his phone and said, "Wait for me to ask Ms. Aida for some details."

The call was quickly connected, and Aida Masayo's first words were:

"Mr. Shuiyue, I can refund the money."

"........."

Yingsheng was speechless: "There is no need to return the money or anything like that. Let me ask you, is Mr. Maori really hallucinating? Did no one else see the scene of the criminal committing the crime except him?"

"Yes, because it was already half past eleven and everyone was asleep," said Masayo Aida.

"Going to bed so early, is it good for your health?"

"........."

"Anyway, you are a professional. Do you really think he has a mental problem and needs medication?"

"I'm a counselor, not a psychiatrist, so I can't be completely sure."

Masayo Aida paused and said, "But Mr. Maori's condition in this regard is really not good. After he sobered up, I asked him to pay attention to this aspect in the future, but he didn't even remember that he had drunk alcohol.

At first I thought he was just trying to get away with it, but under the persuasion of Inspector Megure, he carefully recalled what happened yesterday. He remembered Mr. Amuro's visit clearly, but shortly after Mr. Amuro left, his memory went completely blank.

I suspected some kind of mental illness, so I suggested that a psychiatrist be involved.”

"Is that all?"

Yingsheng asked in confusion: "But Officer Megure told Xiaolan that he wanted to send Mr. Maori to a mental hospital?"

"this matter……"

Aida Masayo hesitated for a few seconds: "Is Miss Lan next to Mr. Shuiyue? If not…"

"No need, just say it directly." Yingsheng interrupted.

Just as Xiaolan was about to speak, she looked at Yingsheng gratefully, and then she heard Aida Masayo say:
"I don't know what Officer Megure was thinking of last night. He took Mr. Maori to do a urine test, and the result was positive."

"!!!"

"!!!" Her words shocked Xiaolan and Yingsheng.

Xiaolan was simply shocked. How could her father, who was originally unreliable but still acceptable, suddenly become so strange and a bad person?
What Yingsheng was thinking was, wow, it turns out that Mr. Maori has all three poisons, so awesome.

But then he thought again and felt that something was not right. That was inside the hospital. Where could Mr. Maori find those things?
"Besides Mr. Amuro, was there anyone else who visited Mr. Mori yesterday?" asked Hotaru.

"I'm sorry, because when Mr. Maori and Mr. Amuro were chatting, Dr. Shirai asked me to go over and help with some procedures, and when I came back, Mr. Amuro had left and Mr. Maori was watching a horse racing show, so there was a gap for a while.

In Mr. Maori's own description, that part of his memory is blank, and I don't know if he is lying."

Yingsheng suddenly realized: "So when Officer Megure said he would send him to a mental hospital, was there also a threat involved?"

"Initially, yes, but now after the questionnaire, Mr. Maori probably does have some issues."

"The questionnaire has no credibility. I took one before and it said I should be euthanized."

Yingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of strange things going on. I'll find a detective to investigate.

During this time, keep an eye on Mr. Maori, show him something that makes him happy physically and mentally, and tell him not to worry, because he has his daughter who he has accumulated merits in his previous life. "

"........."

Aida Masayo was speechless for two seconds: "Okay, I brought some discs of natural scenery, I will..."

"No, no, no, that won't work. I want the Victoria's Secret show."

"……it is good."

The phone hangs up.

Yingsheng looked at Xiaolan who was looking worried: "From what we know so far, Dr. Shirai is very suspicious.

First, he had always claimed that Mr. Mori was hallucinating due to mental problems, but he stopped after Ms. Aida and Officer Megure proposed transferring him to another hospital. Logically speaking, based on the principle of shirking responsibility, he should have been eager for Mr. Mori to be transferred to another hospital.

Secondly, he was the attending physician of the hospital and might have obtained illegal anesthetic drugs privately, which might be related to Mr. Maori's memory loss.

Third, the issue of timing. Why did he ask Miss Aida to leave at that time? Was it a coincidence or intentional?
Fourthly, what Dr. Shirai told you yesterday clearly implied that the person who got Mr. Mori drunk was Mr. Amuro. If Ms. Aida had not eavesdropped on their conversation before, we might have been misled.

Even if we called Mr. Amuro to ask, it wouldn't work. People are more willing to trust a conscientious doctor than a strange detective.

Besides, don't you, Lawyer Hime, and Inspector Megure all think that although Mr. Mori is bad, he is not hopeless?

So let's take your trust in him into consideration and guess:
Mr. Maori may have been framed by Dr. Shirai, who wanted to use him to achieve some purpose."

Looking at Xiaolan who was dumbfounded, Yingsheng smiled:
“Call Dr. Shirai and tell him you want Mr. Maori to move to a different ward, one that doesn’t have the same building as the one where he had the hallucinations. We will cover all the costs and manpower.

If he agrees, then change the ward. If he finds all kinds of reasons to disagree, after a few rounds of argument, you can say that what he says makes sense and end the call. "

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan nodded quickly and called her attending physician, Mitsuo Shirai, to tell him about the matter.

Three minutes later, the call was disconnected, and Xiaolan's eyes flickered:
"He keeps disagreeing. There's something wrong!"

"It's probably true. The so-called illusion is created by him. It can only be seen from a certain angle. It won't work if we change the ward." Yingsheng took out his cell phone:
"Now, get a detective."
