Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 138: Yingsheng is investigating a case? No, he is planning a plan!

In ward 414, Masayo Aida was not there. Kogoro Mori was watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on TV with a dazed look on his face. When he heard someone coming in, he didn't even want to take his eyes off the show.

The visitor greeted him in a familiar manner, and he reluctantly looked up to confirm that he had never seen this young man in a casual white sweatshirt before, and asked in confusion:
"Who are you?"

"Oh my, Mr. Maori is really a forgetful person. I even toasted you in Ginza."

Seeing that Maori Kogoro was getting more and more confused, Yingsheng smiled and said, "It was that time when you and Miss Towako were drinking together and had a great time, and talked about..."

"Ahem! What's wrong with you?"

Maori Kogoro interrupted immediately, Towako...

Oh, it has become a taboo now.

As for Yingsheng, he certainly had no impression of him at all, but clinking glasses in nightclubs was a common thing, so it was normal that he didn't remember it.

Yingsheng looked around the ward and walked towards the window: "To be honest, I came here this time to replace Miss Towako."

"What? Towako-chan!"

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up immediately, but he soon gave a wry smile: "Why did she ask you to come here? Didn't she say she didn't want to see me anymore?"

"Having said that, she didn't let me come over either. But she did mention you when I was chatting with her. I can see that she actually cares about you a lot."

"Haha, so that's how it is... ahem!"

Maori Kogoro looked pleased, but then realized something was wrong, so he quickly suppressed his expression and asked in confusion:

"Why did you talk about me when you were drinking with Towako?"

"Ah?"

Yingsheng looked out the window carefully and turned back in surprise: "Don't you know your reputation? You killed two people on the spot in a fit of rage for a beautiful woman. You are already a legend in the sex industry. There are even girls who are willing to offer themselves to you for free."

"!!!"

Maori Kogoro's eyes widened in shock. "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by killing two people on the spot? I didn't kill anyone. They were all accidents! It was an accident!"

"OK, relax and don't let it affect your recovery." Yingsheng looked Maori Kogoro up and down and said curiously, "Rumors get more and more outrageous. And isn't the last sentence the one we should pay most attention to? It's free."

"Gulu——"

Maori Kogoro swallowed hard, "What are those... wrong!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, "Don't try to seduce me! I have changed my ways!"

Yingsheng shook his head and laughed, then looked back and saw Aida Masayo standing at the door. She must have been nearby before and came back to check after hearing the noise.

"Sorry, sorry, I spoke out of turn."

Hotaru put the fruit basket on the bedside table and whispered in Maori Kogoro's ear:
"There is a card under the fruit basket. You know its purpose. Hide it well and don't let it be discovered."

Kogoro Mori's eyes lit up, and he forced himself to suppress his excitement and nodded slightly.

"Wait till you come back, Mr. Maori."

After saying the last sentence, Hotaru turned and left under the moved eyes of Maori Kogoro. Aida Masayo made way, glanced at Maori Kogoro, closed the door, and walked to Hotaru who was waiting for her a little further in the corridor:

"Mr. Shuiyue, do you have any instructions?"

"I set a small test for him, there's nothing special about it. Did Mr. Amuro come here this morning?" asked Yingsheng.

"No."

"Okay, I saw an alarm clock in Mr. Maori's ward. The hands showed seven in the morning. Were you here at that time? Did you hear the bell?"

Masayo Aida recalled: "I was sleeping in the bed next to him. I was almost awake at that time and confirmed that I didn't hear the ringing."

"What about last night at half past eleven? Was there a ringing sound?"

"I'm sorry, I was a deep sleeper and Mr. Maori's exclamation didn't wake me up, so I can't be sure."

"Do you usually sleep so deeply?"

"This..." Aida Masayo shook her head: "Probably not, but maybe I was too tired yesterday, I'm not sure."

"I see. Where's the nurse?"

"I went to buy food for Mr. Maori. It's almost half past five now."

"Which one?"

"Samadhiya, the best one near the hospital."

"Well done. Keep this matter confidential, especially from Dr. Shirai." Yingsheng turned and left.

"understand!"

Aida Masayo nodded heavily.

Three minutes later, Hotaroo went to the room where Kogoro Mori saw the hallucination. He didn't need to ask anyone, after all, this was the only room without the curtains.

Yingsheng took a quick look around the room. There were some miscellaneous items placed around it, but not many, and it was quite empty.

If you want to create the illusion of a stabbing from behind and quickly erase the traces in a short period of time, you probably use something like a dummy or cardboard.

But the police are by no means stupid. They would definitely search for such items. After two nights of finding nothing, they became more and more suspicious that Kogoro Mori had mental problems. The answer is obvious.

Yingsheng walked to the window, looked around, and saw another window with no curtains on the lower opposite side, which made him shake his head in disappointment.

This is too stupid.

At night, he turned on the lights over there and did some tricks, letting the open window glass in the pitch-black background here act as a mirror and reflect in Kogoro Mouri's eyes.

Yingsheng left the window and went towards the new target room, feeling speechless.

No, isn’t 11:30 pm very early?
Was Mitsuo Shirai so confident that everyone was asleep at that time?

If there were just one awake person who saw it, this crude trick would be exposed.

And Kogoro Mouri is also an idiot. He woke up twice at 11 o'clock in the evening. Doesn't he summarize the reasons?

The alarm clock hand was adjusted later to seven o'clock, so where was it before?
Really, as long as Kogoro Mouri told the police that he saw the hallucination opposite him after being woken up by the alarm clock at night, anyone would find that there was something wrong.

Think carefully, when Xiaolan was leaving the corridor angrily on Monday, did she almost knock over an alarm clock? Or was it he who caught it?

Same style, Mitsuo Shirai.

Tsk, you don't even know to change such an important thing? What are you thinking?

If you can't even do something like taking the initiative, what's the meaning of your life?
Just die.

Entering the target room, Yingsheng found a dummy without any surprise, which made him even more disappointed with Shirai Mitsuo.

We have plenty of time before anyone notices this place, so why don't you erase all traces?

Once someone notices it, it's too late.

Feeling a little bored, Yingsheng shook his head and went to chat with the nurse. After chatting about gossip for about ten minutes, Yingsheng not only received an invitation to a night out, but also roughly learned about Shirai Mitsuo's motive for murder.

Next month, the hospital's chief of surgery will retire, and the position will be vacant.

Mitsuo Shirai was competing with another doctor named Katsuyuki Eto, and their relationship was very strained.

What a boring reason.

Yingsheng stretched lazily, but if he could get some anesthetic drugs at the same time, then let him do it.

Ok……

Who would be best to die first?
