The moment he saw Kogoro Mouri, a series of alibis and the idea of ​​a locked-room murder flashed through his mind.

Although he loved to create, his creations were all new inspirations; he knew absolutely nothing about killing.

But then it suddenly connected... how could he not be excited!

However, a girl with tea-colored hair has seen through it!

"Heh..." Shirai Mitsuo chuckled dryly, feeling a surge of anger. If he hadn't moved the dummy away long ago, they would have been doomed.

He narrowed his eyes, concealing the murderous intent within, and looked at Ai Haibara. "Little sister, you're quite clever..."

The moment he finished speaking, a chilling aura locked onto him.

It felt like being stared at by a cold-blooded beast at the top of the food chain, making your blood run cold.

"I don't like the look in your eyes." Jia Chen lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and spoke calmly.

Kazumi Nakayama and nurse Keiko, who were standing to the side, were also staring intently at Mitsuo Shirai, as if they were looking at a corpse.

"Well... I haven't been sleeping well lately, and my eyes are twitching a bit." Shirai Mitsuo forced a smile and scratched his head.

"What's wrong, Gachen?" Kogoro Mouri sensed something was off again and turned to look at Gachen.

"It's nothing." Jia Chen finished his tea and stood up. "Then Mr. Mori, please rest well. It should just be a problem with the reflection in your glasses. Don't worry about anything else."

"Oh, okay." Kogoro Mouri nodded without saying anything...

A few days later, the Shadow Killing incidents continued, but no clues were found.

"I might really be sick..." Kogoro Mouri sat on the hospital bed with dark circles under his eyes, looking dejected.

He had fallen into a state of deep self-doubt and was prepared to go to the neighboring Fourth Qingshan Hospital for treatment.

He picked up his phone and dialed Xiaolan's number.

"Hey, Ran, listen up." Kogoro Mouri calmed himself down and said slowly, "There's a bank card under your mother's photo album. The PIN is your birthday. There's also a lot of money hidden under my pillow. Plan how you spend it."

"Oh, right, there's a copy of 'Mouri Detective Essentials' next to the drawer of my bedside table. Give it to Jia Chen after you find it," Kogoro Mouri continued, his tone somewhat melancholy. "Take good care of Conan, and remember to ask your mother for money if you don't have enough."

"Dad, what's wrong with you again?" Ran Mouri was both amused and exasperated when she heard her father's voice. She felt both nervous and helpless. "The doctor said it's just a simple fracture and you'll be fine after a few days of rest. Are you feeling unwell? I'm coming over now."

"I..." Kogoro Mouri lay on the hospital bed, looking at the white ceiling, and said sadly, "I may have a serious mental illness, and I will be sent to Aoyama Fourth Hospital for treatment soon."

At first, Kogoro Mouri thought it was just someone's prank, and with what Gatsumi said, he also thought it was just an illusion using scientific phenomena.

However, as time went by, the hospital found no signs of lens reflection; it was all just his imagination.

It could also be that every time he woke up after unknowingly solving a case, he would see Inspector Megure's serious yet gratified face.

The symptoms may have already appeared while I was in a coma.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm coming right now," Ran Mouri said reassuringly, then hung up the phone.

A while later, the door to the ward was pushed open.

After hearing the whole story, Ran Mouri comforted Kogoro Mouri.

Conan, however, frowned deeply, not believing at all that Kogoro Mouri had a mental problem.

553 Moreover, this hospital exudes an abnormal atmosphere from the inside out.

There's definitely something fishy going on.

Conan left the room, inquired about the surrounding area, and then went to the warehouse.

The warehouse was empty, but covered in dust.

After Conan approached, the investigator... saw the window, walked over, and pressed his hands against the windowpane.

"This is..." Conan reached out and touched the dust off the window before jumping to the ground.

Then he compared it with the dust on the ground.

"The dust on the ground is different from the dust on the windows; it looks like it was sprinkled on." Conan reached out and brushed the dust off his hands.

Conan then opened the window, jumped up using his twice-height height, and positioned himself in the middle of the window at an extremely unscientific but very Conan-esque angle, scanning his surroundings.

The room diagonally opposite was also a warehouse, filled with various odds and ends, with an open window.

After seeing this, Conan recalled what Uncle Mori had experienced before...

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a white light pierced through Conan's head, and Conan... understood!

He jumped to the ground and arrived at the warehouse he had just seen. When he saw the medical human model on the ground, his mouth slightly grinned to his ears, and irregular white light reflected from his glasses.

"Just as I expected, the truth behind all of this is..."

Conan looked at the open glass.

+*..

Chapter 194 Xiao Ai: Okay, so big

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was lying blankly on the bed, lost in thought.

Jia Chen reached out and tapped on the bedside table, waking up Kogoro Mouri, who was lost in thought.

"Gachin and Ai, you're here." Kogoro Mouri said, looking somewhat haggard. "I'm tired. Let's destroy it. When can you send me to the Fourth Aoyama Hospital?"

Jia Chen: ""

Ai Haibara: "..."

I haven't seen Kogoro Mouri for a few days, he looks so haggard.

"How are you feeling now?" Jia Chen picked up the kettle next to him and poured a glass of warm water.

"I don't know, maybe there's something really wrong with my mind. Thank you..." Kogoro Mouri reached out to take the water from Ga Chen, but then noticed that Ga Chen was handing it to Ai Haibara. "Thank you for taking care of me."

"Don't worry, the truth will come out tonight," Jia Chen said.

"If only that were the case, but I've already given up hope on myself," Kogoro Mouri said, bowing his head, deeply moved.

Although every time I see the other person, I feel like the temperature drops.

However, many small details still warmed Kogoro Mouri's heart.

As the two were talking, Mitsuo Shirai walked in.

"Oh, Dean, you've arrived?" Shirai Mitsuo froze for a moment when he saw Gachen, but quickly recovered and greeted him with a smile.

Then... he casually opened the window, took out an unknown drug from his pocket, and put it into Kogoro Mouri's water glass.

Then set the alarm clock next to it...

Jia Chen and Ai Haibara were silent for a moment.

Then he looked at Kogoro Mouri and found that the other man still looked haggard, without noticing anything, and was even thanking him.

This is too suspicious!

The other party was blatantly drugging him right under his nose, yet Kogoro Mouri didn't make a single move?

The key point is that Kogoro Mouri knows he doesn't need any oral medication; all he needs is a cast and a massage.

Is he pretending?

Want to lure out the killer?

He fell silent again after seeing Kogoro Mouri pick up the cup and gulp it down.

Ai Haibara, however, did not take any action.

Because Jia Chen just noticed it too, he should have his own decision.

All she could do was assist Jia Chen from the sidelines.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." After finishing everything, Shirai Mitsuo said with a smile, "Tonight is my shift. If you have any questions, just come to me."

"Wait a minute!" Conan crawled out from under Kogoro Mouri's bed. "Garchen-gege, your hospital's rules are so strict."

In order to find out who drugged Kogoro Mouri, Conan hid under the bed.

Just now, he had already figured out the method of this crime!

"That's right. In order to promote Mr. Mori's recovery, he needs a regular schedule." Shirai Mitsuo was initially surprised, but after seeing that Gachin didn't speak, he said.

"Oh...I see." Conan frowned.

He wasn't sure if what the other person said was true, but he was certain that the other person was a suspect.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer." Shirai Mitsuo narrowed his eyes slightly. "And little ones, you'll catch a cold sleeping on the ground."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

"By the way, Conan, why are you under my bed?" Kogoro Mouri asked, his face full of confusion.

Jia Chen and Ai Haibara also looked at Conan.

"Haha. I... I accidentally rolled off the bed while sleeping on the recliner." Conan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head.

Everyone: "...

"Conan, you little rascal," Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but remark, "Conan is quite filial. If you're really sleepy, come and sleep on the bed."

"No, no need, Uncle, I've already rested." Conan looked at the single bed that could only fit one person and reached out to scratch his cheek.
