Stay away from Conan

Chapter 487 The General Hospital Incident Ends

"Oh! Brother Maori, please explain to me what happened this time!"

Seeing Kogoro's sleeping posture, Officer Megure couldn't help but say.

"Okay, Officer Megure. This incident is actually a clever, two-stage crime case."

Hiding outside the door, Conan took out the bow-tie voice changer, adjusted it to Mouri Kogoro's voice, and began to explain:

"Dr. Shirai, in order to kill Dr. Eto, before today, he had been making it look like someone was being killed in the hospital for me to see. His purpose was not only to make me think that there was something wrong with me mentally, but also to make others Losing trust in my testimony. This way, when the actual murder occurs, he can blame me for the murder."

"Ah? What!"

Hearing this, Officer Memu couldn't help being shocked and said in surprise:

"That means that the several times you reported to the police that you saw murderous scenes in the hospital are indeed true!"

"Yes, this is the first step in his plan."

Conan said seriously in Kogoro's voice.

"But if that's the case, then why didn't we find any clues in our previous investigations?"

Officer Megure asked in confusion.

"Because the place is wrong."

The voice of "Kogoro" began to explain:

"Although I saw a murder in this room before in the ward, in fact, it did not happen in this room. It was Dr. Shirai who used a trick to open the window of this room to a certain extent. The angle uses a mirror-like principle to reflect scenes in other rooms into my ward.

"In this way, even if I can rush to this room as soon as possible every time, I will never find any traces in this room, because what I see is what happened in other rooms! "

"So that's it!"

Officer Megure exclaimed:

"In this way, no matter how we search, we will never find any clues in the room. Instead, we will only wonder if Brother Maori, who called the police, saw something wrong."

"But it's a pity, Dr. Shirai."

"Kogoro"'s voice became serious:

"I really don't know whether you are very confident in yourself or what. It is really a very stupid thing for you to choose me as the target of the blame, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. When you have made many mistakes in a row After seeing that murderous scene, I had already noticed the problem, and also discovered the real place of the incident, which should be the warehouse on the fourth floor.

"The prisoner used the dummy used for first aid training in the warehouse on the fourth floor to direct and act out the scene of the murder, and then reflected it to a position where I could see it."

"Ah? Did you know this a long time ago? Then why didn't you tell us the police earlier?"

Officer Megure said doubtfully.

"After all, if you just stage a killing scene in a warehouse, it doesn't mean much. Moreover, I didn't know what the other party's purpose was before."

The voice of "Kogoro" continued to explain, then paused and his tone became serious:

"To this day, I think of the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' in "Aesop's Fables"——"

“The story of ‘The boy who cried wolf’?”

Officer Megure was a little confused.

"Yes, what this story says is: when a person tells the same lie many times in a row, it will eventually erode all the trust of the people around him. When the lie becomes true, no one will believe it anymore. Him!"

The voice of "Kogoro" explained, and then gave a serious reminder:

"Just like what happened to me this time."

After saying this, Officer Megure was thoughtful, while Dr. Shirai did not speak the whole time, just gritted his teeth, feeling very regretful.

"When I figured this out, I knew - although the previous murder scenes were fake, the prisoner's real purpose must be to commit a real murder in the end, and I was the missing person in the story. Someone everyone trusts!”

"Kogoro" said loudly:

"So, in order to prevent the case from happening, and also to catch the murderer, I contacted Officer Megure in advance and asked him to send someone to guard this room, waiting for the murderer to show up. As expected, Dr. Shirai, what are you doing today? Still taking action!”

"Now that things have happened, do you have anything else you want to say?"

After listening to Kogoro's reasoning, Officer Megure nodded, then looked at Dr. Shirai and couldn't help but ask:

"What is your motive for committing the crime?"

In response, Dr. Shirai gritted his teeth and looked at the unconscious Dr. Eto with a very angry expression. However, at this point, he had no room for quibbles, so he struggled for a moment and finally said:

"Next month, the surgical director of our hospital will retire due to his age. Because of this, Dr. Eto and I became candidates for this position at the same time. But at this time, Eto forced myself to I submitted my resignation to the hospital, and I had no choice but to accept his threat - because he had the clue that I had used bribery to enter the hospital through the back door. "

"So, you want to kill him so that no one knows about it, right?"

"Kogoro" the voice continued to ask.

"That's right..."

Dr. Shirai lowered his head and said as if he was disappointed:

"He has no idea why I want to pay in installments and enter here through the back door..."

"No matter what the reason is, this kind of approach is against the right path and will never have any good results, doctor."

Hearing what the other party said, Conan, who was hiding behind the door, interrupted Dr. Shirai's words in the voice of "Kogoro".

In response, Dr. Shirai could only smile bitterly and said nothing more before being taken away by Officer Megure.

At this point, the incident at Mihuadong General Hospital has finally come to an end...

…

"In other words, without Gao Yuan's prompting, you might not have been able to prevent this murder, right?"

On the way home from school, after listening to Conan's narration of the aftermath of the incident, Xiao Ai couldn't help but smile.

"You can say that..."

Conan said helplessly:

"But after all, I was the one who solved this incident!"

"But, after listening to your story, Gao Yuan can directly think of that fable. Doesn't it mean that he guessed the truth a long time ago?"

Xiao Ai said with a slight smile, then seemed a little emotional and murmured to himself:

"It's no wonder. Since it's a technique that can be seen through at a glance, there's no need to deliberately go to the scene!"

Saying this, Xiao Ai seemed to understand the reason why Gao Yuan had no interest in this case——

However, apart from that, other mysteries about Gao Yuan still cannot be solved...
