Chapter 208 Four Possibilities

"Dr. Shirai?" Mao Lilan was very surprised when she heard this.

Without waiting for Mao Lilan to ask, Conan said his judgment: "Yesterday evening, because it was raining, sister Xiaolan and I planned to go back when the rain would subside, so we stayed in the ward for a longer time.

I happened to see Dr. Shirai coming to Uncle Mouri's ward with a cup of coffee in his hand.

As he spoke, he opened the curtains with a natural expression. His movements and expressions seemed to be casual. It was so natural. In addition, Uncle Maori had been staying in the hospital for three weeks and nothing had happened, so

It didn't alarm me.

At that time, I just thought it was Dr. Shirai's personal habit. Then I saw Dr. Shirai adding a lot of sugar to the coffee, setting the alarm clock himself, and handing the pills to Uncle Mori with his own hands. Now that I think about it, it must have been his doing."

"Coffee has a refreshing effect. Unless you have this hobby, most people will not drink coffee at night to avoid being unable to sleep at night. As a doctor, he should have common sense in this area. It seems that he is indeed suspicious.

"Qingmu Song agreed.

"I just heard your description, Xiaolan, and I felt very strange. According to what you said, Uncle Maori suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and then saw someone killing people in the opposite room through the window.

Uncle Maori had a broken leg and was lying on the hospital bed recovering from his injuries. Therefore, he would not get out of the hospital bed easily under normal circumstances. So according to common sense, he should have seen this scene while sitting on the hospital bed.

There is quite a distance between the hospital bed and the window. Considering that Uncle Maori does not get out of bed, when he wants to see the scene on the opposite side, the curtains must be opened. Who would open the curtains to sleep! This is completely inconsistent with physiological needs.

and scientific basis.

You must know that in addition to secreting growth hormone, the human body also secretes a kind of "melatonin". This "melatonin" is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland located in the third ventricle of the human body. It can inhibit high blood pressure and tumor cells.

growth rate. At the same time, it can improve sleep quality.

This hormone is only secreted during sleep at night. During sleep, the darker the surrounding environment, the greater the release. Therefore, when sleeping at night, dim the light in the room as much as possible, turn off the lights, and close the curtains.

, forming a dark environment can improve the speed and quality of sleep."

After finishing speaking, Aoki Song dragged his chin with his hand and said: "There must be something wrong with Dr. Shirai. It's not necessarily him who is doing something secretly."

Mao Lilan was very confused when she heard this and said: "But why? This is the first time we have met Dr. Shirai, and my father is very cooperative with his treatment. Why did he do this?"

Conan also frowned and said: "I can't understand the other party's purpose. Is this a simple prank, or is there another intention behind it?

I don't believe that the other party went to such great lengths just to play a prank. After all, it was a hospital, and Uncle Maori might not be the only one seeing people coming and going. It would be hard to deal with if it got too big.

Dr. Shirai is 40 years old, so he should know that pranks must be measured. Besides, what good will it do to Uncle Mouri if he is wrongfully accused of being a lunatic?"

Aoki Song thought for a while and said: "Perhaps the other party's purpose is to make Uncle Maori 'socially dead'."

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, as long as everyone around you thinks you are a madman, then even if you are a normal person, you must still be a madman.

Because the most common thing a madman says is: I am not a madman, I am not crazy.

"Impossible!" Conan didn't believe it when he heard this. "Although Uncle Maori has offended many people because of his detective work, if someone had hated him, they would have tried to take revenge on him long ago. How could he wait until now and still use this method.

Uncle Maori is also a famous detective after all, so this method is far from unexplainable and can easily be seen through."

Although social death is very cruel to the person involved, it cannot be achieved just by trying to make others die socially. It must arouse huge public opinion.

To put it cold-bloodedly, even if Kogoro Mouri is crazy, as long as he doesn't cause any big trouble, it will only be a matter for the Mouri family and their relatives and friends, and will not cause any trouble in the entire society.

Mao Lilan looked at Qingmu Song very worriedly and asked: "Brother Qingmu, what should we do now?"

"How much do you know about Dr. Shirai? Apart from bringing coffee to Uncle Mori and opening the curtains, did he do anything else or do anything strange?" Aoki Song asked.

"I only know that the other person's name is Shirai Mitsukion. He is 40 years old. I heard that he is a very promising doctor and a candidate for the next dean of surgery. He is also very popular in the hospital." Mao Lilan told what she knew.

Said it out.

Aoki Song looked at Conan and asked: "Conan, are you here? Have you discovered anything?"

Conan thought for a moment and said, "I just remembered something. When Uncle Maori had lunch at noon yesterday, there was Dr. Eto, who was in the same department of surgery as Dr. Shirai. He once said something, which is a bit strange now that I think about it.

"

"What words?"

"He said that Uncle Maori had better be careful not to become his experimental subject. He also said in a joking tone that if one day he is killed, the murderer must be Dr. Shirai."

Conan said slowly, and then reasoned: "If Dr. Shirai wants to take advantage of Uncle Mouri's identity as a famous detective, then his target is likely to be Dr. Eto."

Aoki Song thought for a while and said: "It sounds like Dr. Shirai was caught by Dr. Eto, and Dr. Eto let Dr. Shirai know that he already knew his secret, making Dr. Shirai both afraid of him and eager to get rid of him.

quick."

"That's right!" Conan agreed, but he still frowned and was very puzzled. "But even so, if he wants to kill Dr. Eto, what does it have to do with Uncle Maori? He needs to drive Uncle Maori crazy first.

If Uncle Maori is asked to create an alibi for him, isn't it contradictory? A madman's words cannot be used as an alibi."

Although Conan is very smart and has encountered many cases, he was only a high school student before he became a child and has not entered society, so he lacks social experience in certain things.

Under normal circumstances, when committing a crime, shouldn't a normal person try to avoid others?

Taking the initiative to provoke a famous detective is not a wise move.

Faced with Conan's confusion, Aoki Song thought for a while and said: "There are four situations in this kind of thing. The first one is that the other party actually has no intention of killing, and the purpose is Uncle Maori. Maybe the other party and Uncle Maori really have something to do with each other.

Hatred.

Just because you haven't noticed it doesn't mean that you haven't. There are many people who are smiling on the surface but want to kill each other in their hearts. We think that the relationship between Dr. Shirai and Dr. Jiang Teng is not good, so it is not necessarily a sign of friendship between the two.

.

In this case, the other party's purpose may be to tarnish Uncle Maori's reputation. After all, the most important thing in the detective industry is reputation. As long as Uncle Maori is rumored to be mentally ill, no one may hire him.

In this era of economic recession, without income, a family is likely to be ruined. Of course, even if Uncle Maori loses his income, Xiaolan can still live without worries about food and clothing.

In addition, even if you are caught in this kind of thing, because there is no actual murder, the other party can still say it is a prank. At most, it is just an apology, and you don't even need to go to jail.

Moreover, the other party can also refuse to admit it, saying that he was doing surgical simulation training in private, but Uncle Maoli misunderstood him. Only Uncle Maori saw the other party's actions at that time. In this case, even Auntie Fei said

Don’t win the case.”

"It makes sense." Mao Lilan and Conan both nodded, and then asked impatiently: "What about the second one?"

"The second is that the other party really wants to kill someone, but the target is not Uncle Maori, and they want to find a scapegoat. Therefore, the other party wants to create the fact that Uncle Maori is mentally ill.

Then he broke down the bottom line in Uncle Maori's heart, leaving Uncle Maori delirious and falling into self-doubt. After he killed someone, he put the blame on Uncle Maori.

After all, any unexpected behavior performed by a mentally ill person is acceptable in the eyes of normal people, and murder by a mentally ill person is not a particularly bizarre thing.

Of course, the general situation is to hurt people, but if a mentally ill person doesn't know the severity, it may happen if he hits harder and makes someone really die. Based on this consideration, the other party may not have any grudge against Uncle Maori, but just happened to bump into Uncle Maori.

There are two situations here. One is that he was used as a scapegoat by the murderer because he was admitted to a ward where he could see this technique.

The other is that the person who wanted to commit the murder was indeed Dr. Shirai. Uncle Maori just happened to be preparing to commit the murder and looking for a scapegoat. The patient in charge was the attending physician. He said that his patients had mental problems, and most of them had mental problems.

Everyone thinks there is something wrong with the other person."

Mao Lilan and Conan nodded, this situation is also possible.

"The third type is based on the variation of the previous one, but it does not use Uncle Maori as a scapegoat. Instead, the other party's planned murder script will use Uncle Maori.

So he first wants to make Uncle Maori mentally ill so that everyone knows that Uncle Maori is mentally ill, and the testimony of a mentally ill person will not be used by the police."

"The last situation is that maybe... the other party is simply a lunatic!" Aoki Song looked at Conan Maorilan and said.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan and Conan were shocked.

Aoki Song rubbed Conan's head, looked at Mao Lilan and said: "Don't look at me like this, then look at the news in the past few years. There are more and more cases of terrorist attacks and indiscriminate attacks on people. Those people's

Can you guess the idea?

Maybe the other party has a set of logic that fits his own three-view thinking, but in the eyes of normal people like us, if the other party doesn't have a brain problem, what is a neurosis?

Problems between doctors and patients have existed since ancient times. Perhaps the patient is under too much pressure and has a problem with his thinking."

Conan blinked, thought for a moment and said, "This possibility is not impossible."

"Psychosis" is a huge possibility.

The pace of life in Tokyo is already very fast and the pressure of life is very high, especially since Neon's economy has still not recovered.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that the other person is overwhelmed because of excessive pressure and has a mental problem.

It’s not every once in a while that news breaks out on the Internet that “celebrities with an annual salary of millions are caught stealing a few dollars from a supermarket.”

There's just something wrong with the other person's brain.

Mao Lilan thought for a while and looked at Qingmu Song and asked: "Brother Qingmu, which one do you think is more likely?"

"After killing people, it is more likely that Uncle Maori will be the scapegoat." Aoki Song replied.

Without waiting for Mao Lilan to ask, he explained: "It took so much effort. It was obviously not a crime of passion, but a premeditated crime. His mind should be very clear. If it was just a prank, it would take too much effort.

The most suspicious person now is Dr. Shirai, who is now Uncle Maori's attending physician. If he just hates Uncle Maori and wants to disgust Uncle Maori, he can just say that Uncle Maori has an incurable disease and scare Uncle Maori.

We can even cooperate with you, so that there won’t be any legal problems afterwards. Of course, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, but I feel that the probability is very low."

Conan nodded after hearing this. The possibility of a prank was indeed very low: "Brother Aoki, why do you think he will let Uncle Maori be the scapegoat?"

"Uncle Maori is a famous detective after all. If something like this happens, even if he has been psychologically suggestive by some people before and falls into self-doubt. According to ordinary people's guesses about famous detectives, such a person will seek help from detective friends.

Investigation, just like me.

Even if not, out of concern for Uncle Maori, his relatives and friends will most likely stay in the hospital to stay with him at night. And we are about to enter a new era. Human beings have invented the video recorder... By then, these little tricks will be visible at a glance

Let people see through it.”

As he spoke, Aoki Song looked at Conan and asked: "If you were in bed with me at night and saw this little trick, what would you do?"

"Of course I ran out to check!" Conan said without thinking.

"Bingo!" Aoki Song snapped his fingers at Conan, "Then by then, not only Uncle Maori will be the only one in the ward, but of course Uncle Maori may also chase you out.

But his leg is injured, so he will definitely not be able to run as fast as you, and he will definitely fall behind you, and then, around this corner..."

Aoki Song made a downward slashing motion with his left hand, "By the time you realize something is wrong and run back, the other party may have already arranged the murder scene of 'Uncle Maori Murder', and even printed the fingerprints."

Conan's face darkened after hearing this.

Aoki Song continued to say quietly: "By then, Uncle Maori, who has been considered insane by the public, will not use anything he says as testimony.

If the murderer is Dr. Shirai, Uncle Maori will definitely be labeled as mentally ill. No one will believe what Uncle Maori says. Isn't this the perfect scapegoat?"
