04 Xiao Ai's curiosity

"Huh?"

Conan, who originally wanted to discuss the strange things that Kogoro encountered in the hospital with Takato, heard Takato suddenly ask such a question for unknown reasons, and Conan was very puzzled and made a puzzled sound.

"It's the story from Aesop's Fables."

In this regard, Xiao Ai on the side couldn't help asking:

"In order to trick everyone, the sheep herding child came up with the words "the wolf is coming" to ask the farmers for help, and the farmers, after hearing the shout, ran over to help him drive the wolf away, but when they arrived, they found that there was no shadow of the wolf at all, but the child joked that you were fooled.

"And when this happened a lot, when a wolf really broke into the flock, no matter how much the child asked for help, the farmers no longer believed the child's words."

"That's right, that's the story."

Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile and nodded.

In this regard, after listening to this story, Conan seemed to be a little stunned, and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Wise, do you think ......?"

"Conan, if the Maori detective saw something like someone was really doing something, what do you think the other party's purpose was?"

What he meant was that Gao Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but Conan seemed to have understood what Gao Yuan meant, so he couldn't help but ponder for a moment, nodded towards Gao Yuan, and said seriously:

"I know, I will never let the other party's tricks succeed!"

After saying that, Conan turned around and hurriedly left the video game city and rushed towards Mihuadong General Hospital.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai looked at the back of Conan leaving alone, glanced slightly at Gao Yuan beside him, and asked with some surprise:

"Now that you've got a rough idea of what to do, why don't you just go over and take a look?"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, Conan should be able to solve it."

Gao Yuan replied lightly, but there were some words in his heart that he didn't say-

In fact, after listening to Conan's narration, Takato remembered that this seemed to be a case in the original work.

And the prisoner in this case let Maori Kogoro witness the suspected murder alone several times, which was a foreshadowing for his final real murder.

However, the reason why I didn't want to go to the scene to investigate was not that I was not interested in this case, but I was simply afraid that if I was involved in the case this time, would the specific details of this case be the same as before-

As long as he and Conan appear on the scene at the same time, the original case will be greatly deviated, and in this case, it will be completely impossible to predict what will happen in the end.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Gao Yuan simply did not go to the scene.

And he didn't say enough to Conan, but only reminded him a little, and he was also worried that this case might have deviated......

However, such an idea is only speculation after all, and more examples are needed to support such speculation, and I am doing this to test whether my speculation is reliable -

After all, in the previous case of the Rice Flower Library, he was not at the scene, but only contacted Xiao Wai at the scene by phone, and the details of the case were no different from the original.

This time, I didn't go to the scene myself to see what the final result would be.

And looking at Gao Yuan's thoughtful appearance, Xiao Ai didn't continue to ask, but felt that he seemed to have begun to feel that he still knew too little about Gao Yuan recently-

Whether he's going to come to the game city, or maybe he's unexpectedly not interested in the strange case this time. Also, why did he want to make a smart hospital bed......

And among them, the most concerning point is-

Obviously, when my sister investigated him, she confirmed his study abroad experience and learned Chinese language. And it's still unemployed.

Why, when I asked Dr. Asa about the smart hospital bed, Dr. Asa said that Takato had told him that he studied software engineering?

Reminiscent of what the high school student detective in Osaka mentioned before, more than half a year ago, when he first met Takato, he had the experience of working in an Internet café.

These kinds of details all show that Gao Yuan is deliberately hiding his past.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wai couldn't help but feel a little depressed-

Gao Yuan seems to know his life experience, but he doesn't know anything about Gao Yuan's past.

- "I wonder what kind of man he was in the past?" ”

Silently staring at Gao Yuan beside him, Xiao Wai said with emotion in his heart......

……

Mihuadong General Hospital——

"I think that as a capable detective, you have to deal with so many criminal cases every day, and the mental pressure you face must be greater than that of ordinary people, perhaps, it is your hallucination."

Because many times in a row, Maori Kogoro saw in the opposite room outside the window in the middle of the night, suspected of murder, alarmed many hospitalized patients, Kogoro's attending doctor Shirai Mitsuo did some simple examinations on Kogoro, although no cause was found, but still based on Kogoro's recent performance, some suspicion said.

"No, that's definitely not an illusion!"

Kogoro, who was wearing a hospital gown, heard Dr. Shirai say this, his emotions were not controlled at once, and he immediately got up and explained to the other party in a serious manner.

"Dad, calm down first. Let's calm down first, okay! ”

In this regard, Xiaolan, who was taking care of the side, couldn't help but worry and stepped forward to ask:

"What the hell is wrong with you, Daddy!"

"I don't know...... Am I really tired......"

In this regard, Kogoro covered his head and said very unwillingly:

"But I'm absolutely not mistaken!"

Seeing this, looking at Xiao Gorou like this, Xiao Lan looked worried, but she didn't know what to do-

"In that case, I'll stay in the hospital tonight to take care of Uncle Maori!"

At this time, Conan, who was watching this scene from the side, propped his hands on the edge of Kogoro's bed, supported his chin, and said with a smile.

"Really? It's really touching. ”

In this regard, Dr. Shirai on the side couldn't help but say gently.

"Is that okay? Conan? ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask with some surprise:

"You stay in the hospital with your father, you won't be scared at night, right?"

"No, Sister Xiaolan!"

Conan smiled and said:

"Besides, I'm staying in the ward with Uncle Maori, and if Uncle Maori sees that scene again tonight, I can know if Uncle Maori is hallucinating or not!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan was a little surprised, and then said seriously:

"Then Conan, Daddy pleases you! If anything happens, be sure to contact me as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!"

Conan nodded earnestly.
