Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Maori Kogoro finally couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted to Inspector Megure: "Inspector Megure, it's already this late, can't you tell me the truth?"

Inspector Megure remained silent.

Maori Kogoro pointed at Shiratori Renzaburo again and said, "Officer Shiratori, you must know something. Tell me quickly."

Shiratori Renzaburo said in a deep voice: "I promise, we will bring the murderer to justice."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Kogoro Mouri angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"hateful."

"Oh right," Officer Chiba suddenly said, "We've checked the flashlight left at the crime scene, but we only found Xiaolan's fingerprints on it."

"What!!"

This result surprised everyone present.

Officer Takagi said: "We originally thought that Officer Sato was the one who took out the flashlight, but it wasn't. It was Xiaolan who took it out."

"If that's the case, then Xiaolan will definitely think that Officer Sato was shot because of her." Kisaki Eri sighed: "Perhaps she lost her memory because of this shock."

The conference room fell silent.

After a while, Inspector Megure finally made a decision and said, "I'll tell you everything."

Kogoro Mouri suddenly raised his head and looked at Inspector Megure.

Shiratori Renzaburo wanted to stop him: "But Officer Megure, isn't this inappropriate?"

"It doesn't matter. If I get fired, I'll just follow Brother Mori's example and open a detective agency." Inspector Megure waved his hand.

Maori Kogoro was somewhat moved: "Inspector Megure."

Officer Megure paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "Last summer, the body of Dr. Niinoho, a physician at the First Department of Surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital, was found in his apartment. The person in charge of the investigation happened to be my senior, Officer Tomonari, who also worked in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. Officers Narasawa and Shiba, who were shot, and Officer Sato, were all his subordinates at the time."

"It's said that Dr. Nino, who had been drinking heavily at the time, used a scalpel to cut through the right carotid artery, causing death from excessive blood loss. The first person to discover the body was his sister, Xiaohuan, a correspondent who lived in the next town."

Shiratori Renzaburo pulled out two photos: "These are the two people involved at the time."

Maori Kogoro took the photo and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This woman, I remember she attended the party..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something again and pinched his chin: "I felt that she was very familiar at the time. Now I remember that she came to see me not long ago."

Inspector Megure quickly asked, "What did she want to see you about?"

Maori Kogoro scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Well... because I was already very drunk at the time, I don't remember anything she said."

Officer Megure was speechless and continued, "Before Dr. Nino was killed, he was sued by a patient's family for a surgical error. He also left a suicide note apologizing for the blunder. That's why Officer Tomonari believed that Dr. Nino was very likely to have committed suicide."

"However, his sister, Niino Tamaki, doesn't think he committed suicide." Shiratori Renzaburo held up Niino Tamaki's photo. "She said her brother was a terrible doctor who never cared about his patients' lives. She simply doesn't believe he'd commit suicide to apologize for a surgical error. And about a week ago, someone saw her arguing with a young man with purple hair in front of a warehouse."

314 Going Home with Sonoko

"So, to be on the safe side, Officer Tomonari took Officers Sato, Narasawa, and Shiba to the warehouse."

Inspector Megure recalled the situation that day: "The weather was extremely hot that day, even exceeding 35 degrees Celsius. After discovering that the warehouse door was locked, several people prepared to ambush. But at this time, Officer Tomonari suddenly had a heart attack. Officer Sato wanted to call an ambulance, but Officer Tomonari stopped him, saying that we must not alert the enemy. He asked Officer Sato and the others to continue to monitor while he took a taxi to the hospital."

"But Officer Sato was worried and gave chase, only to find Officer Tomonari collapsed on the side of the road. Although Officer Sato immediately rushed Officer Tomonari to Touto University Hospital for emergency treatment, it was too late. Officer Tomonari never regained consciousness on the operating table."

"And Officers Narasawa and Shiba also waited for the arrival of the purple-haired young man." At this point, Officer Megure's expression grew serious. "No one expected that he would be Minister Odagiri's son, Toshiya Odagiri."

The son of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division Chief is actually a suspect? Maori Kogoro was surprised and subconsciously lowered his voice: "So how was this case finally handled?"

Inspector Megure sighed, "Since Officer Tomonari died suddenly and Doctor Morino was ruled to have committed suicide, the case is now closed."

Shiratori Renzaburo added, "In fact, the police did investigate his sister Xiaohuan's private life, but Officer Shiba said that the person she was dating had no connection to the case."

"So that's how it is." Kogoro Mouri finally understood why Inspector Megure had kept silent to him before.

Inspector Megure added, "But, Inspector Tomonari has an only son named Tomonari Makoto."

Shiratori Renzaburo took out the photo, Maori Kogoro took a look, and was stunned again: "I remember this man also attended the party tonight? But he seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. What happened to this guy? -"

Inspector Megure said, "On the night of the wake for Officer Tomonari, he questioned us police officers why we didn't call an ambulance. If we had called an ambulance, perhaps the tragedy wouldn't have happened. He believed that we were the ones who caused Officer Tomonari's death."

Kogoro Maori sighed softly. From a son's perspective, he could understand Tomonari's reaction.

"Later, Officers Narasawa and Shiba were transferred out of that unit. Until recently, Officer Shiratori suddenly discovered that Officer Sato was investigating some case outside of her duty hours..."

Kogoro Mori looked at Nishihara Shiratori.

Shiratori Jinzaburo explained, "Officer Sato, at Officer Narasawa's request, and Officer Shiba, have begun re-investigating the case from a year ago."

Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth.

"I was afraid that the murderer would attack Officer Sato next, so I wanted to send someone to protect her, but she declined." Having said that, Officer Megure sighed softly again.

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "So that's why you said this to her at the party?"

Officer Megure nodded.

"I understand, Officer Megure." Maori Kogoro raised his voice in vain: "The murderer is that Odagiri Toshiya."

Under Inspector Megure's puzzled gaze, he explained, "Because Inspector Narasawa, Inspector Shiba, and Inspector Sato started investigating the case from a year ago, he took the initiative."

"But he wasn't the one who fired the shot," Officer Megure said. "He didn't have any reaction to the smoke."

Maori Kogoro choked: "Is...that so."

"But the one called Tomosei Makoto is still missing." Officer Megure fixed his suspicion on the son of his former senior, his expression serious. "And he was seen nearby on the day Officers Narasawa and Shiba were shot."

"Apart from this, are there no other clues?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

Inspector Megure rubbed his chin: "According to witnesses, the murderer fired the gun with his left hand, and seems to be a left-handed person."

Shiratori Renzaburo suddenly remembered: "Oh, now I remember, Youcheng Zhen is a left-handed person."

"Okay then." Inspector Megure said decisively, "Issue a wanted order for Tomoshin immediately."

"Yes."

Shiratori Renzaburo stood up and left.

"Inspector Megure," Kisaki Eri suddenly asked, "How exactly was Dr. Niino's carotid artery severed when he died?"

"How do you cut it..." Inspector Megure raised his hand and gestured: "The scalpel cuts straight down from the upper right to the lower left."

Kisaki Eri crossed her arms and said, "If this is a homicide, then the murderer might be left-handed."

"How do you know he is left-handed?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

Kisaki Eri took out a pen, held it in her left hand, walked behind Kogoro Mouri, and performed a simulation of cutting an artery on the spot: "This is to prevent the blood from spraying on the body. In this way, if I don't use my left hand, I won't be able to cut the right carotid artery..."

"I see." Inspector Megure pinched his chin. "But Tomonari-shin has absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Nino. Even if Dr. Nino was murdered, the left-handed murderer must be someone else."

"At the party, I saw Odagiri Toshi also use a lighter with his left hand," recalled Kisaki Eri. "Also, his father, Minister Odagiri, is also left-handed."

..... . ....

"Idiot! Are you crazy?" Maori Kogoro immediately turned around and questioned Kisaki Eri: "How could Minister Odagiri be the murderer?"

Kisaki Eri looked at Mouri Kogoro indifferently.

Maori Kogoro choked and looked at Inspector Megure: "Inspector Megure..."

Inspector Megure looked serious. Although he didn't say a word, he had already made his attitude clear. The police also suspected Toshio Odagiri.

……

That night.

Because Xiaolan needs to be hospitalized for observation, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki plan to take care of her in the hospital, so Sonoko takes the initiative to take the responsibility of taking care of Toru Watanabe tonight.

Maori family.

Yuanzi looked depressed and absent-minded.

"Sister Sonoko, are you okay?" Toru Watanabe took two cans of juice from the refrigerator and handed one to Sonoko.

Yuanzi sighed softly: "I'm fine, I'm just worried about Xiaolan. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I never thought that Xiaolan would forget me one day."

Watanabe Toru comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Sonoko. Since Sister Xiaolan still recognizes me, it means her condition is not very serious. Maybe when we go to the hospital tomorrow, Sister Xiaolan will have remembered everything."

"I hope so." Sonoko looked at Watanabe Toru's determined face and forced herself to cheer up: "You've been busy all night, Toru must be tired. Let's go to bed."

"it is good."

Because of Xiaolan's condition, the two of them didn't do any of the "emotional easing" activities they used to do when they were alone together. They simply hugged each other and slowly fell asleep.

315. Xiaolan, who has lost her memory, is particularly clingy

The next day, the Junior Detective Team, including Conan, who learned the news, came to the hospital in Dr. Agasa's car.

In the small garden downstairs of the hospital, Ayumi blinked her bright eyes and said to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, my name is Ayumi. Do you remember me? Xiaoche and I are very good friends."

"I'm sorry." Xiaolan apologized, "Except for Xiaoche, I don't remember anyone now."

Conan, sitting in a wheelchair, was a little unwilling. He stared deeply at Xiaolan and asked, "What about me, Xiaolan? Do you still remember me? I am the new... Conan."

In his anxiety, he almost revealed his real name.

Xiaolan looked at him for a moment and shook her head: "Sorry, little brother."

Conan sighed, feeling rather unhappy.

Watanabe "960" Toru added: "After all, Conan seldom meets Xiaolan, so it's normal that Xiaolan has no impression of him."

Conan: "..."

He couldn't help but ask again: "Does Xiaolan still remember Brother Shinichi?"

"Shinichi?" Xiaolan's eyes revealed a trace of confusion. Under Conan's expectant gaze, she shook her head again: "Is he also my friend?"

"he……"

"Sister Xiaolan often complains about him," Watanabe Toru said, "She says he's a maniac who doesn't keep his word and values ​​the case above all else."

"Is that so?" Xiaolan pursed her lips: "He sounds like a very unreliable person."

Conan: "..."

Suddenly there was a feeling of decadence that was powerless to justify.

Haibara stood aside and watched coldly. He knew that Macallan had no good feelings towards Kudo Shinichi, and if he got the chance, contempt and ridicule would be inevitable.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, turned around and looked, but found nothing unusual.

Conan noticed Huibara's behavior and asked, "Huibara, what's wrong?"

A solemn look appeared on Huibara's face. It seemed like someone was staring at us just now, but it might also be that I was overthinking it.

Conan looked around, thoughtful.

……

In the afternoon, Xiaolan was discharged from the hospital.

In the hazy drizzle, the car stopped downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency.

Kisaki Eri got out of the car and opened her umbrella. Xiaolan was about to get out of the car too, but when she saw the scene outside, she suddenly looked frightened and shrank back.

Kisaki Eri asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

"It might be because of the water on the ground. When Officer Sato was shot, the toilet pipe was broken and a lot of water accumulated on the floor." Maori Kogoro looked at the water next to the car and said to Officer Takagi in a serious tone: "Officer Takagi, please drive a little further."

"Okay, no problem." Officer Takagi drove the car to a place where there was no water.

Only then did Xiaolan get out of the car nervously, grabbed Watanabe Toru's hand, and went upstairs to the detective agency.

Maori Kogoro opened the door and helped Xiaolan recall: "The second floor is the office. I usually sit at that desk to handle some big cases."

Xiaolan looked at the surrounding layout and touched the sofa, coffee table, and table, things that did not exist in her memory.

"How is it, Xiaolan? Have you remembered anything?" Mouri Kogoro asked expectantly.

Xiaolan shook her head: "Sorry, I don't have any impression of this place."

"It's okay, let's go to the third floor. That's where we live." Mouri Kogoro forced a smile and took Xiaolan to his home on the third floor.

"This is the living room, this is the kitchen, and this is your room. You and Xiao Che will live here."

Kogoro Mouri opened the door of Xiaolan's bedroom, and Xiaolan walked in slowly.
