Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 160 LSD is there, but not in Maori's body
As soon as these words were spoken, the ward fell into silence.

Along with Kudo Shinichi's thoughts, they fell into a mysterious silence.

Positive.

With this result, it seems that all reasoning is no longer important, and conversely, all anomalies can be explained.

The problem is, after all, this is not the world.

But it's just Kogoro Mori himself.

After a long silence, Megure Jusan suppressed the dizziness in his head and lowered his head with a sad face:

"Brother Maori, what's wrong with you?"

transfixed.

This word is the most true portrayal of Kogoro Mori.

Even when facing everyone's direct or implicit gazes, no matter whether there was sudden enlightenment, sarcasm, worry or pain in their eyes, he remained completely indifferent.

Some animals, when faced with overwhelming danger, will bury their heads in the ground.

Silly spore, ostrich...

And the same is true for humans.

The disbelief and self-doubt were so overwhelming that they completely overwhelmed Kogoro Mori's thoughts, making it impossible for him to make any rational thoughts.

In short, his brain was broken.

"Positive is too broad. Show me the test report and see what type it is."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the police officer who came over to report, and the police officer handed over the report without hesitation. Kudo Shinichi came to the conclusion, and after just one glance, he felt a little dizzy.

LSD?!
This thing is a famous hallucinogen. With it, and the false hallucinations artificially created by Mitsuo Shirai the previous two times, it is not impossible that real hallucinations will occur this time under Uncle Mori's implicit psychological expectations.

Negative visual afterimages...

Whether there is such a thing or not is secondary!
Kudo Shinichi sighed deeply, looked at Maori Kogoro with complicated eyes, and handed the report to Megure Jusan. After reading the conclusion, Megure Jusan trembled all over, even his face twitched unconsciously, and he leaned back.

Xiaolan quickly supported him and looked at the report, but Kudo Shinichi took it back:
"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, this matter is very important."

"It's my father who was in trouble. I have the right to know everything." Xiaolan stared at Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi avoided her gaze: "Yes, but this incident has fully proved that Mr. Maori was framed. We will tell you everything after we find out the truth. Now nothing is clear, and it would be bad for you to know."

Xiaolan didn't say anything else, just helped Megure Jusan to calm down. Megure Jusan looked at her apologetically, took a deep breath, and returned to the case itself:
"Brother Maori, no matter what state you are in, just tell me what you have experienced."

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a long while, and murmured as if he had lost his soul: "Is it useful?"

"Of course it works."

Kudo Shinichi said: "Uncle Maori, even if you have been used from beginning to end, you should be able to provide some information that is wrong, and perhaps we can find clues."

He now tends to believe that the mastermind behind the scenes is using Kogoro Mori as a useful pawn.

I just don’t know if this person is the same mastermind behind the previous incidents.

Maori Kogoro was at a loss: "I mean, isn't my memory unreliable?"

Kudo Shinichi said calmly: "Just tell me, I'll make the judgment on this matter." These words finally gave Maori Kogoro a glimmer of hope in his confusion. He slowly raised his head, and light appeared in his lifeless eyes again:

"it is good!"

The story continues.

His experience is not complicated. In short, he stumbled towards the scene with a crutch, passed the nurse's station and asked nurse Huizi to help call the police. When he reached the corner of the second building, another nurse came over and supported him.

When we were about to reach the corner between the connected buildings one and two, the power in the building went out and the view suddenly became pitch black.

The nurse asked him if he wanted to stay there for a while, but he refused, so the nurse continued to help her walk towards the source of the fighting.

At some point, he suddenly tripped and the nurse who was supporting him disappeared inexplicably. He hurriedly adjusted his posture to avoid falling.

And just then, the lights came on.

He saw Toru Amuro and Xiaolan in the corridor in front. Toru Amuro and Xiaolan also saw him. He was holding a bloody knife in his hand, and Toru Amuro had just retracted his fist.

In front of them, there was a figure in a white coat lying down.

The appearance is ready:

Kogoro Mori killed Mitsuo Shirai;

Toru Amuro killed Seiji Eto.

After listening to Maori Kogoro's story, Kudo Shinichi looked at Amuro Toru, who nodded in approval:
"At least that's how it looked when we saw each other, but I didn't see the nurse."

Kudo Shinichi nodded: "What about your accidental killing?"

"I have no reason to dispute this and I fully acknowledge what I did."

Amuro Toru sighed softly, "Miss Lan and I fought with that man for a long time. He was very strong, but in the moment before the lights came on, he seemed to have suddenly become much weaker. When I noticed it, the punch had already been thrown and there was no way to stop it."

Kudo Shinichi frowned slightly: "But now that you've discovered something is wrong, even if you can't stop, you should at least use less force. Can that punch be strong enough to break ribs and pierce the heart?"

"I did hold back, and I think it wasn't strong enough, but that's the way it is."

Amuro Toru looked at Xiaolan and said, "Miss Lan, you should be able to sense that this person's style is unpredictable and he is very good at showing flaws. So even if I held back, I didn't hold back too much. I just left room for contingency. I think this may have something to do with it."

Xiaolan nodded: "That's true."

Kudo Shinichi didn't know martial arts, but he knew habits and the story of the boy who cried wolf. He paused for two seconds and said:
"It sounds like he deliberately designed it so that you wouldn't dare to stop even when you realized something was wrong. Can you confirm that the person has not changed from beginning to end?"

Amuro Toru groaned for a few breaths and said, "I want to make it clear in advance that I am willing to take responsibility. I definitely don't want to make excuses to shirk responsibility."

Even without considering his dual hidden identities in the brewery and the Metropolitan Police Department, accidentally killing someone when facing an active attack from the enemy would qualify as self-defense, and it could be acquitted by hiring a good lawyer; it's not a big deal.

"I think the possibility of changing players midway is not high, but I can't say it's completely impossible."

Amuro Toru looked towards the window of the ward and said, "Everyone should have heard it before. Many windows were affected during our previous battle. Although the moonlight is not bright tonight, there is still a little light near the window. We can barely see him.

But when the lights were about to come on, he ran to the corridor, which was pitch black. Our eyes adjusted to the previous dim light, and there was a window of at least a few seconds, and we could only identify the location by sound.

If there was ever a change of target, it would be then.”
