The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Chapter 210: Chapter 208: The Information Brought by Shinichi Araide

The fact that Shinichiro was able to get into the University of Tokyo's medical school and graduate first in his class speaks volumes about his talent.

Besides his talent, he is also a very handsome young man. Coupled with his kind and helpful personality, he could easily become a warm and caring person if he wanted to.

Just like this time, when Shinichi learned that Ran had an accident and lost her memory, and then learned that Conan had a cold and no one was taking care of him, he called Jiang Hang's office after being told by Kogoro Mouri. He then asked Shizuka Sakaki, who answered the phone, for the location of Professor Agasa's house and rushed over.

“After all, Mr. Mori helped me so much, this is what I should do,” Shinichi smiled at Conan while taking Conan’s temperature.

"It looks like just a common cold. There's no need to use suppositories. Just take your usual cold medicine and rest for a couple of days."

Hearing that he didn't need to use suppositories, Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief; he didn't really like using those kinds of things.

After giving Conan a brief examination, Tomoaki Araide suddenly asked him, "I heard that Kazato-senpai was in charge of treating Ms. Mori?"

Conan nodded, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Do you know Dr. Kazato, Dr. Araide?"

"Because Kazeto-senpai was also a top student who graduated from our University of Tokyo Medical School. I heard about Kazeto-senpai when I first entered university. Back then, he was known as the 'youngest first-class surgeon' at the University of Tokyo Hospital."

Listening to Araide Tomoaki's explanation, even though his mind was a little slow due to a cold, Conan quickly found the key question in Araide Tomoaki's words: "Surgeon? Isn't Dr. Kazato a psychiatrist?"

When this was mentioned, Shinichi Tomoaki sighed: "I don't know much either. It seems that during a surgical operation six or seven years ago, another doctor made a mistake and accidentally cut his wrist. Although his life was not in danger, he could no longer perform those delicate surgical procedures. So he eventually left the University of Tokyo Hospital and was transferred from surgery to psychology."

Then, Shinichi Akihiro showed an admiring expression: "But Kazato-senpai is really amazing. In just a few years, he has achieved so much in the psychology department. I heard that many police officers go to him to relieve their psychological stress."

After Shinichi finished speaking, Conan frowned deeply.

A surgeon who became a psychologist after injuring his wrist, and many police officers also went back to him to confide in him about their psychological stress.

These clues sound rather suspicious.

Subconsciously, he rested his chin on his hand on the bed and began to think about Kyosuke Kazato, but his head was still a little dizzy and he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while.

"Hey, Dr. Shinichi, do you know which doctor cut Dr. Kazato's wrist back then?"

This question seemed to have touched on a blind spot for Araide Tomoaki: "It is said that he is a doctor with poor character and is not very responsible. He has caused several accidents in the past, but I haven't heard anything about him recently. Maybe he was fired by the hospital."

"I also heard that last year, a doctor at the University of Tokyo Hospital caused a major medical accident during surgery, resulting in the patient's death. In the end, the doctor committed suicide out of guilt towards the patient." Shinichi Tomoaki said this while sighing.

Conan then recalled that a year ago, before his death, Nino made a major mistake on the operating table, which led to the patient's death, and the patient's family even wanted to sue Nino.

Afterwards, Yasushi Nino was found dead at home, so many police officers believed that he had committed suicide out of guilt. The case was originally going to continue to be investigated, but unexpectedly, the officer in charge of the case, Tomonari, died of a sudden heart attack, and the case was ultimately ruled a suicide.

However, Tamaki Nino, the younger sister of one of the three suspects previously identified by the police, expressed dissatisfaction with the police's judgment, arguing that her brother would not commit suicide over such a matter.

During the questioning at the time, Tamaki Nino did not explain why she was so certain of her judgment.

But now Conan couldn't help but think about it.

If the two doctors that Shinichiro just mentioned are actually the same person, namely Yasushi Nino, then many things can be explained.

If Yasushi Nino were a doctor with a long history of misconduct, he would not feel remorse for his mistakes on the operating table. It is quite possible that Kyosuke Kazato killed Yasushi Nino and staged it as a suicide because Yasushi Nino prevented him from continuing on the path of a surgeon.

These things can be confirmed by asking Tamaki Jinno and the nurses who have worked at the University of Tokyo Hospital for many years. Once this is confirmed, then Kyosuke Kazato's level of suspicion must be at least on par with Tomonari Makoto.

However, the biggest problem with this hypothesis is still the listening device in the ward. If Kyosuke Kazato is the murderer, not only would it be of little use for him to install the listening device, but even if he really wanted to install it, he would have many more ways to do so discreetly.

Besides, if Youcheng is not the murderer, then why is he hiding and not explaining the situation to the police?

As long as these points are not resolved, his inferences will still have inexplicable problems.

Just as he continued to ponder deeply, Shinichiro gently patted his little shoulder.

"Conan, what are you thinking about? If you have a cold, just rest and don't think too much. The police have been investigating for so long, they'll find the real culprit soon, and Miss Mori will definitely recover."

However, Conan, who was very familiar with the style of the Japanese police, seemed somewhat skeptical of what Niide Tomoaki said.

Soon after chatting with Conan for a while and telling him to stay in bed and rest, Araide Tomoaki left Professor Agasa's house.

Conan took the arrival of Shinichiro Araide and the important information he brought very seriously, and even called Jiang Hang immediately.

What he didn't know was that after Shinichi Aragaki left Professor Agasa's villa and drove away from the street, the "Shinichi Aragaki" in the car suddenly removed her makeup, revealing Vermouth with a mysterious smile beneath the disguise.

"You've given us enough hints already. If it were you, you should have figured out who the real culprit is by now..."

"However, the bugging device thing will probably mislead him quite a bit. It looks like I'll have to keep busy for a while longer."

Chapter 211: Chapter 209: Shiho Miyano's Intuition

Unbeknownst to Vermouth, while she was trying to find a way to remind Conan of the culprit's identity in this case and to test and confirm Conan's true identity, her "mission target" in Japan was less than ten meters away from her.

When she realized that Conan might be Shinichi Kudo who shrunk after taking the A drug, she considered the possibility that Sherry, who was rescued, might have been rescued by Conan, Jiang Hang, and others.

However, with Jiang Hang's keen eye and Conan's assistance, they had already prepared various counter-surveillance measures in advance.

Shiho Miyano herself is quite low-key. She has hardly left Professor Agasa's house for the past two weeks. Even the members of the boy gang who occasionally come to Professor Agasa's house to play only know that there is another researcher in Professor Agasa's house, but they have not actually met Shiho Miyano yet.

Furthermore, Professor Agasa usually doesn't mention Shiho Miyano to others, so Vermouth, who arrived in a hurry and had only just found a suitable person to impersonate her, didn't expect Sherry to be in this place.

Meanwhile, after Vermouth, disguised as "Araide Tomoaki," left, Shiho Miyano silently walked out of her research room.

She didn't see Tomoaki Araide; she only vaguely sensed that someone who posed a threat had come to Professor Agasa's house.

Although she is a rigorous medical researcher, Shiho Miyano occasionally has some unsettling intuitions, especially when it comes to matters related to organizations, where her intuition is particularly sharp.

A few days ago, she had a feeling that the organization might do something to her, and she even had nightmares about it for several days.

However, after she told Jiang Hang about her unease and asked him to be more careful about organizing things recently, Jiang Hang suddenly taught her a wonderful way to sleep.

Even she didn't expect that after mastering this wonderful way of sleeping in, she would stay in bed until almost noon, and from then on, she rarely had nightmares at night.

As a result, her mental state improved significantly during the day, and she gradually stopped feeling any pressure about the organization, allowing her to focus all her attention on her research.

Even Shiho Miyano felt that her intuition was gradually expanding from being particularly sharp about organizational matters to other areas.

For the past few days, she has sometimes felt inexplicably irritable and restless. At first, she thought that someone from the organization was getting close to her, but after carefully observing and checking, she finally discovered that there was a deviation in a certain calculation step of a set of data she had recently tested.

Sometimes, she would suddenly feel the urge to return to her research lab, and every time she had this feeling, it wouldn't be long before other strangers would come to visit Professor Agasa.

Of course, there was also the fact that this morning, while she was studying Conan's blood because of a cold, she suddenly had the urge to use the bottle of baijiu that Jiang Hang had sent over last time.

A few days ago, Shiho Miyano had already tested the baijiu. The research results showed that baijiu does indeed contain a kind of strange substance that can promote and accelerate cell proliferation. Moreover, the effect of that substance on Professor Agasa, her sister, and even Jiang Hang is negligible, but it has a significant effect on her own body and Conan's body.

If the cell proliferation rate caused by Jiang Hang and the others coming into contact with this substance is between 1 and 1, then hers is above 10, and the reaction on Conan's body is even more astonishing.

Shiho Miyano didn't know why that kind of baijiu would have an effect on her body, but as things stand, it does seem to have the potential to turn Conan back into Shinichi Kudo.

Furthermore, after catching a cold, Conan's blood cells were more adaptable to baijiu, even reaching a value that surprised Shiho Miyano.

In short, getting back to the main point, after Shiho Miyano practiced the meditation method that Jiang Hang taught her, her sixth sense has undergone a huge change.

Originally, her intuition only reacted to things related to the organization, but now it reacts to all bad things. Shiho Miyano herself can't say which of the two is better.

Just like when Vermouth came to visit Conan, Shiho Miyano suddenly felt extremely threatened.

This feeling made her nervous even when she was in the lab, and she almost wanted to call Jiang Hang.

If it were the old her, she probably would have suspected that the organization had discovered Conan and her affair and was planning to silence them, and might have been paranoid about it for a long time, and then had nightmares about the organization at night because of these things.

But now, that sense of threat quickly subsided. She seemed to realize that the person she perceived as quite dangerous wasn't there for her. Even if she didn't know if that person was a member of the organization, as long as she didn't leave her lab, there wouldn't be any problems.

After confirming that Shiho Miyano, played by Vermouth, had left, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems her intuition was correct.

She went to the room where Conan was resting and immediately saw Conan, whose cold had improved slightly but who still looked listless and was trying to sneak away.

Having been caught red-handed by Shiho Miyano, Conan looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Cough cough, after a day of rest I feel much better, and I just obtained some very important information that I need to confirm now."

To his surprise, Shiho Miyano hadn't come for this at all. She turned to Conan and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

To prevent the other party from installing a bugging device in Conan's room, Shiho Miyano typed another message on her phone, telling Conan about her suspicions about the person she had just met.

Conan was taken aback when he learned of Shiho Miyano's suspicions about Tomoaki Araide.

He had never suspected Araide Tomoaki before, so when he learned that the other party might be a member related to the organization, he couldn't immediately connect this identity with Araide Tomoaki.

If Shinichiro is really a member of the brewery, then were the things he just said a test?

Conan's expression turned somewhat grim at the thought of this possibility.

"I can't confirm that person's identity, but I suggest you stay here and rest. You can leave this case to Jiang Hang," Shiho Miyano said to Conan with a serious expression.

Chapter 212: Chapter 210: The Woman Sitting on the 86

Jiang Hang, on the other hand, was observing the suspicious individuals on the list provided by Takagi Wataru, one by one.

He originally intended to start his investigation with Kazato Kyosuke, who seemed to be hiding something, but unexpectedly, the other party happened to be off today and drove out early in the morning.

According to the doctors and nurses at Beika Hospital, Kyosuke Kazato enjoys camping and often drives to a campsite in Nishitama City with a view of Mount Fuji to relax during his time off.

While he was investigating the others, Shiho Miyano called and explained in detail Conan's speculations and the strange things she had noticed about "Akira Tomoaki".

"So, aside from not yet figuring out the bugging device, there's a high probability that Kyosuke Kazato is the culprit?" Jiang Hang said, while also reassuring Shiho Miyano not to worry about the brewery, "I'll also investigate the matter of that Dr. Araide."

After discussing the case, Jiang Hang could sense that Shiho Miyano seemed to want to say something more, but in the end she hung up the phone without saying anything.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask her how her research on baijiu is going," Jiang Hang muttered to himself. Conan has suddenly caught a cold, and with his physical condition, he can't do much when he has a cold. However, if he drinks baijiu and turns back into Shinichi Kudo, that would be a completely different story.

After all, Ran went to Dorobiga Amusement Park today to try to regain her memories because she remembered playing at the amusement park with Shinichi Kudo.

If the real Shinichi Kudo stood in front of him, Ran would probably regain her memories very quickly.

However, since the identity of Shinichi Araide has not yet been clarified, it would be too risky to let Shinichi Kudo appear. It seems that Conan will not be able to transform back into Shinichi Kudo to be with Ran today.

After having this thought swirling in his mind, Jiang Hang didn't personally investigate Kazeto Kyosuke's past. Instead, he directly called Takagi Wataru, a "tool," and asked him to investigate whether the hand injury that prevented Kazeto Kyosuke from continuing as a surgeon was caused by Jinno Yasushi back then.

Hearing Jiang Hang suddenly become suspicious of the doctor who was treating Xiao Lan, Takagi Wataru on the other end of the phone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. But thinking about it carefully, Kazato Kyosuke was also a participant in that thank-you banquet. After the transparent umbrella appeared, even though no gunpowder reaction was detected, Kazato Kyosuke was still a suspect.

If Yasuyuki Nino really ruined Kyosuke Kazato's surgical career many years ago, then out of resentment, it seems plausible that Kyosuke Kazato killed Nino after six or seven years, when most people had forgotten about the incident.

More importantly, according to Takagi Wataru's records, Kazato Kyosuke was the psychologist for a significant number of police officers. Even Nara Sawa Osamu, who died first, often went to Kazato Kyosuke to talk about work-related stress.

In this situation, if Kyosuke Kazato had noticed the information that Nara Sawa Osamu inadvertently leaked during their conversation, it would have been much easier for Kyosuke Kazato to commit this series of crimes than for the other suspects.

Takagi Wataru is currently on a mission to protect Mouri Ran at the amusement park, so after receiving important information from Jiang Hang, he sent people to the University of Tokyo Hospital to collect evidence.

As for Jiang Hang, not knowing where Kazeto Kyosuke was, he went to Shinichi Hospital after some consideration.

According to Conan's explanation, Araide Tomoaki's father was the director of Araide Hospital, and he was murdered in an accident more than half a month ago. Of course, in the end, thanks to Conan's painstaking reminders and Ran's help, Kogoro Mouri finally solved the case and found the culprit.
