Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

"Officer Megure!"

Megure Jusan turned around when he heard the voice and was a little surprised to see them: "It's Xiaolan and Conan."

Mao Lilan went forward to greet him, first explaining the reason why she came to the hospital, and then looked at the man with a cautious look: "Inspector Megure, this is..."

"This is Mr. Kawai Koichi." The smile on Officer Megure's face quickly disappeared. "He is the son of the victim of yesterday's case. Because the suspect may have followed him in the past few days, we came to the hospital to ask if there are any witnesses."

Conan Edogawa felt doubtful.

Tracking? Is it to check the location and determine whether the target elderly person has children or other young adults living at home?

But it seems...something is wrong...

Conan Edogawa did not speak casually. He stood beside Kawai Koichi and, using his height advantage which he had never had before, looked up at the victim's family member.

He saw his expression.

He lowered his head and cried, covering his cheeks with his hands as if he couldn't bear the reality. However, his fingers didn't close completely, and his eyes were visible between his fingers, and his mouth was visible between his palms...

——The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"!!!"

A feeling like an electric current instantly ran through Edogawa Conan's brain, and he looked at the man in disbelief.

However, Kawai Koichi did not see him, and continued to say to the two police officers he knew in a sad tone: "When I came to visit my father before, I felt as if someone was watching me. The day before yesterday, on my way home, I fell down at the intersection for no apparent reason and was almost rolled under a car. Fortunately, someone saved me..."

Edogawa Conan came back to his senses: "Uncle, can you contact him?"

If the fall was caused by being pushed, then the person who saved him might have noticed something strange in the crowd.

Megure Jusan said: "That's why we are here. The man who saved him has been visiting the hospital frequently these days. The patient he knows has his contact information, and he has been contacted now."

As if to verify his words, a voice that was extremely familiar to Edogawa Conan sounded behind them.

"Ms. Mori... Conan-kun?"

Edogawa Conan looked back in surprise.

They saw Aoyagi Binguang walking towards them from not far away, with a similar look of surprise on his face.

Chapter 264 What is it like to open the door and meet the god of death?

When Megure Jusan saw Aoyagi Akimichi, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Because President Kawai had been living on the fourth floor before he was discharged from the hospital, Kawai Koichi also said that he only realized someone was watching him when he arrived at this floor, and they went straight there as soon as they arrived.

The nurse at the front desk said she didn't notice anything unusual. Kawai Koichi suddenly remembered the accident and the kind-hearted person the day before, so they hurried to ask the bodyguard of the foreign old gentleman.

The old man was from the United States and was a well-known collector of gems and last dynasty art. After some trouble, they finally got the other party's contact information.

When he first heard the name, Megure Jusan hadn't remembered it, but now that he saw the face, he immediately remembered what happened three years ago and was really surprised.

He didn't expect that the foreign music teacher he met by chance three years ago and who once became a suspect was actually an FBI agent.

Takagi Shigeru didn't notice his boss's brainstorming. He looked at Aoyagi Akimichi's obviously foreign appearance, approached his boss and said worriedly: "What should I do, Officer Megure? My English is not very good. Can you communicate with him..."

Before Megure Jusan could say anything, Aoyagi Akimichi had already walked up to them.

He happened to hear what Takagi Wataru said and said politely, "It's okay, I can understand Japanese."

Takagi Shigeru didn't expect him to hear it so clearly, and smiled awkwardly; Megure Jusan said directly to Aoyagi Akimitsu: "We have a few questions for you. Can you come up and talk with us?"

The first floor was crowded and noisy, and it was indeed not a good place to ask questions or take notes. Qing Liu Bingguang nodded: "Of course."

After saying that, he looked at Mao Lilan and gave her a slightly apologetic smile: "Sorry, Miss Mao Li, I have to excuse myself."

"It's okay, Mr. Aoyagi, you go and do your work. I have to go back." Mao Lilan waved her hands repeatedly.

The two policemen led the victim's son and the witness toward the inpatient building. Mao Lilan watched them disappear from view and lowered her head to look for the boy beside her legs:

"Okay, we should go back..."

Mao Lilan found that there was no one around her.

"Conan?!?"

……

Edogawa Conan followed him upstairs.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late. When he arrived by the next elevator, the other four people had disappeared, so he had to move to the nurses' station.

"Hello, I want to ask you something." He raised his head with great effort, "Where did the two police officers who just came up go?"

"In that empty conference room over there."

The nurse at the nurse's station pointed casually, and then she noticed that Edogawa Conan was leaning on crutches. She quickly walked around the nurse's station and squatted in front of him: "Little brother, are you injured? Do you want me to take you back to the ward?"

Edogawa Conan shook his head: "No need."

He remembered the reason why he was worried about following, and took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, nurse sister, do you know President Kawai who used to live in Ward 403 and was discharged a few days ago?"

Hearing the name, the nurse was stunned at first, then sighed: "I know him. I have been responsible for taking care of him this month. I didn't expect that he would be killed just after he was discharged from the hospital."

"Then do you know his son? The one who came with the police just now. Has he come to the hospital to visit his father?" Conan Edogawa asked.

"He..."

The nurse frowned, with a hint of disgust clearly showing on her face, which Edogawa Conan saw clearly.

"That guy is terrible." She complained, "Before the president was discharged from the hospital, he only came to visit a few times, and he always came to ask for money. The president was so angry that he kicked him out."

Edogawa Conan got the point: "You mean they had a fight before? Their relationship is not good?"

"It's very bad. They quarreled every time, and it was very fierce. Other patients and nurses heard it. I was at the door of the ward that day and heard the president say that he would rather feed the money to dogs than give it to him."

The nurse may have realized that it would be bad to shout at the victim's family, so she changed her voice to a low voice: "So, who knows if he is crying for real or fake sadness. After all, once his father died, all the money will be his..."

Edogawa Conan nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you."

He continued to walk forward with his crutches, thinking constantly.

Detectives all have a bit of the "suspiciousness" problem. Once an incident occurs, if people around the victim show signs of being strange, they will keep a close eye on them, thinking that every move of the other party is suspicious.

This is what happened to Kawai Koichi. He was sad in front of the police just now, but he smiled in a place where most people couldn't see him. The nurse also said that they had a bad relationship between father and son...

Moreover, he always felt that the name Kawai Koichi sounded familiar, as if he had seen or heard it somewhere...

Edogawa Conan was completely immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice that a person carrying something walked out of a nearby ward with the door wide open.

He bumped into the other person's thigh and fell to the ground, and the bag in the other person's hand fell down.

"Sorry, sorry, kid, are you okay..."

The next words stopped abruptly.

Edogawa Conan looked up in confusion, only to see a young man with dyed brown hair and several bandages wrapped around his head standing in front of him. He looked at him in astonishment.

That expression was even more surprised than seeing a ghost.

……

Today is the day that Kazuya Miwa is discharged from the hospital.

He packed up early, and then suddenly received news that the police had arrived.

Thinking of his previous contact with the dead president a few days ago, Miwa Kazuya thought that they might come to question him, so he stayed without waiting for the nurse to speak.

Ordinary passers-by are like this: they despise criminals for committing crimes, but they kneel down smoothly when they meet them; they complain about the police for being wishy-washy, but they cooperate honestly when they meet them.

——Look down on everyone and can’t afford to offend anyone.

He waited for about half an hour with the door open, and then he was so bored that he collapsed on the bed again, took out his game console and started playing again. However, Officer Megure didn't come in at all, he just walked past the door and left.

So Sanlunhe didn't wait any longer. He got up quickly, made the bed again, and prepared to leave.

result……

When Miwa Kazuya saw the little boy with glasses who was knocked down by him raised his head, his scalp went numb.

This was probably the first time he had truly come face to face with an important character in Conan after traveling through time for several years.

Kaito doesn't count, because after he met him, he realized that he was a guest star in the next studio; Inspector Megure doesn't count either, because everyone knows that nine out of ten policemen in detective comics are losers...

No matter how small he looks in the animation, the Edogawa Conan in front of him is the size of a normal child.

Miwa Kazuya looked through the lenses at the face that was very similar to his friend's, but much more childish. The unknown fear that surged in his heart inexplicably subsided a little.

He ignored the scattered game cartridges and reached out to help the fake child in front of him up.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

Chapter 265 What is a Perfect Crime?

In the hospital corridor, Conan Edogawa, who had fallen, was helped up by the armpits, and the other party put the crutches back into his hands.

Edogawa Conan looked at the man in front of him and recognized his identity.

"I'm fine. You...you are the author of "Day and Night Chase", Mr. Lu Renjia?"

The other party opened his eyes wide, and his tone was even more surprised than Edogawa Conan: "You know me??"

Edogawa Conan nodded: "I have read the novel written by you, uncle."

Of course he does.

He would regularly buy new mystery works on the shelves. He read the entire "Day and Night" when it was first published and was deeply impressed by the story.

In addition, after returning to Beihua yesterday, he helped Maori Kogoro solve a murder case. The editor who murdered the writer was Lu Renjia, and the editor mentioned that Lu Renjia was also attacked and hospitalized not long ago.

When the editor was taken away by the police, he admitted to the murder, but did not admit to the attack. It was obvious that the writer's accident was most likely caused by someone else.

At any other time, Conan Edogawa might have asked for details of the attack, but now he was in a hurry to find the meeting room.

He was about to say goodbye when his eyes passed over Lu Renjia's hair and figure and suddenly stopped.

With such hair color and hairstyle, and such a tall and thin physique...how come he looks so much like the president's son?

If you don't look at the face from the front, but only from behind or above, people who are not familiar with it may mistake it for...

"what happened?"
