He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

But with the woman beside him supporting him, he gradually regained his senses, and gritted his teeth:

"I was only involved in this matter until six in the morning. I knew nothing about anything after that. You can check my call records if you don't believe me. My leg is broken, and there's no way I could have gone there in person!"

"I will look into this matter."

Shinichi Kudo's voice was icy: "One last question, why did you turn yourself in?"

Inside Beika Central Hospital, Kogoro Mouri glanced at the woman beside the hospital bed, his expression complex.

"Because of...some things."

Chapter 96 Everything is within the spider web!

The woman beside Kogoro Mouri's hospital bed was actually just a psychologist; she was completely unimportant.

What's important is what is conveyed through her.

Eri Kisaki and Ran's attitudes toward Kogoro Mouri, and a recorded conversation.

To be more precise, it was a live broadcast.

From 4 PM to 7 PM today, the entire process of Ran and Eri's time together was broadcast to Kogoro Mouri, who was lying in a hospital bed, via audio. He was also under anesthesia and was unable to move or refute the entire time.

During the brief pauses in Eri and Ran's conversation, the psychologist would unleash his full power.

Following the principles that Ying Sheng had secretly instructed her on:

Regardless of whether Kogoro Mouri was at fault or not, and whether he or Eri was more at fault in that incident, all the blame should be placed on Kogoro Mouri, ideally to the point that he becomes mentally unstable, doubts himself, and eventually repents and changes his ways.

Thus, the bonus is tripled!

Guided by this core idea and greatly stimulated by money, the psychologist performed exceptionally well, using psychological manipulation to the fullest extent. Not to mention that Kogoro Mouri was the one who made the most mistakes in the past, and his wife and daughters also provided emotional support from the sidelines...

After this series of attacks, Kogoro Mouri felt like his gallbladder was about to explode.

My whole body was filled with bitterness!

Still reeling from the aftershocks of self-loathing, as the effects of the anesthetic wore off slightly, Kogoro Mouri's first words were:

"Call the police! I want to turn myself in!"

Shinichi Kudo and Juzo Inspector Megure were both shocked after hearing this account, almost as shocked as when they heard about Kogoro Mouri's illegal and disorderly conduct.

Could Xiaolan, with her gentle and mild-mannered personality, really do this?

Is it really true that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation?

She's simply a heroine!

Moreover, this incident greatly helped their case. Without Kogoro's surrender, the police would have been searching aimlessly and would never have been able to find Kiyoko Yukimatsu in a short period of time.

When a young girl is kidnapped, and she is of the same appearance as Kiyoko Yukimatsu, the most important thing in rescuing her is time!

If the police arrive too late, even if they manage to rescue the person, how effective will it be if the horrific event has already occurred?

even……

Kiyoko Yukimatsu has been kidnapped for almost an hour now, and it may already be too late!

In short, there was no time to think about all that now. Inspector Megure took a few deep breaths to regulate his breathing, then immediately climbed into the driver's seat of the police car and floored the accelerator.

"Shinjuku Kabukicho, Mori-kun, could you give me a more specific address? It's urgent!"

Megure Juzo's tone was extremely urgent, and anyone could tell that he was in a terrible mood.

Kogoro Mouri tapped his head and recalled for a long time:

"Yuanda told me about the location of Jingyanting Bar and asked me to get there as soon as possible. I said I wasn't available right now, so I placed the bet over the phone. I don't know if they moved the location after I withdrew at six in the morning."

This is a piece of useful information, so let's just say that Inspector Megure turned the siren up to the maximum, ignored all traffic lights, and drove recklessly all the way, luckily without causing any traffic accidents.

On the way, under the authorization of Inspector Megure, Shinichi Kudo also contacted the local police station in Kabukicho, asking them to rush to the Seigan-tei bar to question the employees there and try to determine the current location of Yukimatsu Nami and the others as soon as possible.

After the various remote dispatching tasks came to a temporary end, Shinichi Kudo breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at the left rearview mirror.

A police car was following closely behind them, with a blank expression on Sato Miwako's face in the driver's seat.

Shinichi Kudo's heart tightened suddenly, and he picked up Inspector Megure's police walkie-talkie:

"Officer Sato, Mr. Takahara, who set up and framed Yukimatsu Nami, may have fled. Please go to his home immediately to investigate. Report back immediately no matter what happens!"

Shinichi Kudo spoke in a rather forceful tone, but there was no response from the other side, so he could only look at Juzo Inspector Megure.

Megure Juzo's face turned ashen: "Sato, do as Kudo says!"

laugh--! ! !

The police car behind him made a sharp turn, but there was still no response on the radio. Megure's temple throbbed wildly.

"Sato, everything hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet, don't act rashly!"

"I know, it won't happen."

Miwako Sato finally responded, but her tone was deliberately nonchalant.

Shinichi Kudo frowned slightly. Officer Sato was indeed very emotional during the period when Officer Takagi and the other officer were first injured, but after it was confirmed that the two were not in mortal danger, she calmed down a bit and even made a promise to Inspector Megure.

Could it be that something has upset her again?

Shinichi Kudo quickly asked, "Inspector Megure, has something happened at the hospital again?"

Isn't that a police-only hospital?

How could something like this happen?

Inspector Megure nodded solemnly, paused for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.

"It's still uncertain whether it was an accident, but in any case, a mercury thermometer was broken in the ward where Takagi and the others are staying yesterday. Moreover, the ward's doors and windows were kept tightly closed all night, and the nurses only discovered this morning during rounds that they were experiencing respiratory distress due to mercury vapor poisoning!"

"!!!"

Shinichi Kudo's expression changed slightly. Those two people were already seriously injured and their resistance was greatly reduced. If another one suffered from heavy metal poisoning, the situation would be much worse if the sum of its parts was greater than the sum of its parts.

It's no wonder that Sato Miwako's mood worsened again, and that Inspector Megure was able to tolerate her.

After this series of terrible events, I'm afraid everyone in the Third Investigation Division is on edge.

just,

The mastermind behind the scenes is something that is difficult to disprove, making it a good object for hatred. However, reasoning and solving cases always require evidence. After his initial shock, Shinichi Kudo immediately asked Juichi Megure for information on this matter.

Megure sighed, "We can only say that we are investigating carefully, but alas, the chances are slim."

Mercury thermometers are purchased in bulk without being recorded by serial number, and since every department has them, even if a doctor or nurse accidentally buys another one from outside, as long as they deny it, no one will find out.

Shinichi Kudo remained silent.

Yesterday—that's too far in time; it's impossible to investigate that way.

He wanted to say that this feeling of being unable to find a solution was very similar to that of Moriarty, whom he had longed for for so long.

But this was too far-fetched. Shinichi Kudo shook his head and picked up the phone that Inspector Megure had been holding back.

"Uncle Mori, I need to know more details."

He decided to change his thoughts.

Chapter 97 The Timing of Kiyoko's Appearance

Shinichi Kudo didn't get any details about the case out of him; after all, that was all Kogoro Mouri knew.

But in other areas, there were unexpected gains.

Kogoro Mouri started to say something:

"The person who gave Xiaolan the advice was a young man. They should have been together at noon today. That meddlesome guy is also quite rich, tsk, and he knows how to spend money. I don't know whether to thank him or hate him for what happened between me and Eri."

In short, Inspector Megure, is there any way I can avoid being sentenced?

"..."

"..."

Even though they were in a very urgent situation, Kogoro Mouri's abrupt change of topic left Inspector Megure and the other man speechless, and they even wondered if he was losing his mind.

The situation was pretty much as expected; a few seconds later, the voice on the other end of the phone changed to a rather gentle female voice:

"I am a psychological counselor. Mr. Mori did not sleep well last night and has been under tremendous mental pressure this afternoon. After he managed to talk to you about this unbearable matter, he has now fallen into a deep sleep."

Shinichi Kudo sighed softly, "Thank you so much for your help. May I ask the name of the person who contacted you?"

"Sorry, we can't be exposed..."

"Its name is Shuiyue, right?"

The psychologist's silence was a complete tacit agreement.

Shinichi Kudo's expression turned complicated. He wasn't unaware that Ran and Suigetsu had been getting close lately, but he generally believed that Ran was doing this on purpose to annoy him.

Shuiyue's two admonitions to change his attitude towards Xiaolan only solidified his belief. Thinking of the trouble of explaining, and Moriarty behind Xuesong Qingzi, he simply let it be and pretended not to see it.

Over the years, no matter what happened, Xiaolan has always waited for him in the same place and has never left.

I expect it will be similar this time.

Once he resolves Moriarty's issue and properly apologizes to Ran, this part will be over.

To be honest, he's thinking about the same thing now, and because of the incident that actually happened with Kiyoko Yukimatsu, Ran's priority has been lowered even further.

But now that Kogoro Mouri has brought this up, Shinichi Kudo is slightly distracted and has to admit that Suigetsu is indeed much better than him at caring for Ran.

"Kudo, we'll be in Shinjuku soon!"

Inspector Megure spoke in a deep voice.

Shinichi Kudo immediately put aside those irrelevant thoughts and returned to the kidnapping case of Kiyoko Yukimatsu.

If the phone recordings on Kiyoko Yukimatsu's phone are real, then his previous deductions about the mastermind's identity will undergo a complete 180-degree reversal.

Kiyoko Yukimatsu is truly an innocent little white flower, while her seemingly vulgar and simple mother is the one who hides the deepest secret.
