When I felt that I was conscious again, although I felt that my eyelids were a little heavy, and even my body was full of inexplicable pain, which made Gao Yuan very resistant and didn't want to wake up, but subconsciously, because there was still a scene before he was unconscious in his consciousness, Gao Yuan still struggled to open his eyes-

After all, before I fell unconscious, what happened was very concerning!

Then, when Gao Yuan tried hard to open his eyes, looking at the ceiling in front of him, and the drips that were still hanging, this was an inexplicably familiar scene, Gao Yuan knew that he was in the hospital at the moment.

So, Gao Yuan, who was glad that he was still alive, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be a little afraid of the fact that he was just stabbed and lost consciousness almost instantly-

I lost consciousness so quickly that I almost thought I was ......

"Are you awake?"

And just as Gao Yuan was thinking like this, Gao Yuan suddenly heard the sound of Xiao Ai coming from the side, and then turned his gaze, Gao Yuan began to look at his side, and saw Xiao Ai who was guarding the side at the moment, so Gao Yuan also responded slightly-

"Hmmm......"

In this regard, seeing that Gao Yuan woke up, and his consciousness was still quite sober and he was able to reply to himself, Xiao Ai's face couldn't help but show a happy smile, which made Xiao Ai's heart calm down.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

And because he had just woken up, he didn't know what happened after he fell into a coma, so Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai looked at the time roughly, and just said lightly:

"A few hours......"

"I'm ......"

Listening to Xiao Ai's answer, seeing that it was still dark outside the ward, it seemed that he had not been in a coma for too long. But right now, about his coma, Gao Yuan asked very concernedly:

"What's wrong? Just stabbed, why ......"

"It's anaphylactic shock...... Because you have been poisoned by the snake venom before, this time you have been poisoned by that snake venom again, because of the extreme reaction of the immune system, resulting in a severe anaphylaxis reaction triggered in a short period of time. ”

Simple and worried, Xiao Wai explained the situation to Gao Yuan.

And in this regard, listening to Xiao Ai's statement and the word "silver krait", Gao Yuan's thoughts couldn't help but feel very surprised, and at the same time, a memory of the past began to come to his heart-

That's what happened before, after New Year's Eve.

That time, Maori Kogoro's family and Kudo Shinichi were kidnapped by criminals, and after he was accidentally involved, because he wanted to save the concubine lawyer, he was bitten by the silver snake in the trap set by the gangsters.

As a result, I didn't expect that now, I was once again hit by the snake venom of the silver krait......

So, is there any connection between the two incidents?

And this time, the people who attacked themselves ......

"Let's take a good rest first, this incident will be handed over to Edogawa and them to investigate."

Seeing Gao Yuan after waking up, it seemed that he immediately began to think about the incident, and he was worried about Gao Yuan's body, Xiao Wai couldn't help but advise.

But in this regard, Gao Yuan said:

"No...... As far as the use of krait venom to attack me is concerned, this point is too targeted. I always feel that this time, I'm afraid it's not over yet......"

After all, there are many types of poisonous snakes in this world, but it is a type of poisonous snake that is not available in Japan, such as "silver krait", and this alone makes Gao Yuan feel that there may be something related to the previous incident behind this incident.

"By the way, what the hell is going on? Conan, are they in a situation too? ”

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but continue to ask Xiao Ai about what else happened this time.

So, with a slight sigh, knowing that he couldn't persuade Gao Yuan, Xiao Wai had no choice but to briefly explain what he knew about the incident to Gao Yuan, and said that Concubine Yingli was kidnapped, and then the prisoner threatened Conan with this to play the game-

Immediately, after listening to Xiao Ai's narration, Gao Yuan's expression looked a little strange, and he couldn't help but murmur a little:

"It's like ......"

"What?"

Puzzled, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask in surprise when she heard Gao Yuan say this.

"First kidnapping lawyer Fei Yingli, and then using this to threaten Mr. Maori and them...... This modus operandi is very similar to the previous incident......"

Recalling the incident after the New Year's Eve, Gao Yuan analyzed and said, and then silently, Gao Yuan, who had been silent, began to fall into thought......

……

At the same time, on the other side, after Conan tried to tell Officer Twilight about the speculation about the radio frequency band, Officer Twilight couldn't help but think about it, to see if they could find the frequency band used by the gangsters to inform Mori Kogoro of the news-

After all, after being away alone for so long, Mori Kogoro is not ready to show up, and it seems that he has been avoiding the situation of the police, and it is obvious that the game on his side is not completely over.

It's just that, in the face of the current situation, whether it is Officer Twilight, or Xiaolan or Conan, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night-

Just now, the police officers of the technical department checked the computer in the office and found that the data on the computer was maliciously damaged by virus software, which caused the computer to malfunction directly at that time.

It can be seen that the person who can put a computer virus on the computer of the firm is most likely the prisoner, and the other party uses the opportunity of video communication to directly drop the virus into the computer of the firm, and then waits for the right time to start the virus and damage the computer, so that it is difficult for the police to find any clues from the computer -

Moreover, the virus was activated just when Officer Twilight pushed the door in, so it was obvious that the gangsters already knew that the police were involved in the investigation.

In this way, it seems that Concubine Yingli's safety is imminent.

And until now, Maori Kogoro has not been found by the police, so I am afraid that this is also what the gangsters requested......

"Mom...... Father...... They're going to be fine......"

For the current situation, Xiaolan was in a nervous mood, and she didn't know what to do at all-

"Now that the officers know what happened, will that gangster ...... to Mom directly?"

"No, it won't!"

However, hearing Xiaolan's concern, Conan said categorically:

"If the gangsters don't want the police to intervene in this matter, then at the same time that Mr. Wise is attacked, the gangsters will not make an anonymous call to the police!"

So far, everything this gangster has done is aimed at Mori Kogoro, first kidnapping Concubine Eiri to force Mori Kogoro to play games with him, and then letting Mori Kogoro attack Takato at the same time, and then informing the police of Mr. Ake's situation through an anonymous police call.

Based on the above facts, the person who can make an anonymous call to the police at such a good time must be a gangster.

Since he directly chose to call the police, after the police learned that it was Uncle Maori's move, the detective agency at that time would also be investigated by the police sooner or later, so that the situation of himself and Xiaolan would inevitably be discovered-

Therefore, if you think about it based on this idea, for this gangster, he took the initiative to call the police during that time period, which means that the gangster has completed a very important thing for him at that time, and before this matter is completed, the gangster does not want outsiders to interfere in this matter, but after completing that incident, it does not matter whether the police will intervene or not......

So, what exactly could this be about?

……

"It's not so much that the murderer is here for Mori Kogoro, but it's better to say that the murderer's target is not necessarily me......"

At this moment, in the ward of the hospital, Gao Yuan, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly smiled wryly and said this thought-

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Xiao Wai couldn't help but ask very nervously.

"After I was stabbed, someone anonymously called the police. But before that, they didn't even have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world. It can be seen that the gangster behind the scenes did not want the police to intervene before completing the attack on me, but after completing the attack on me, he took the initiative to contact the police again......"

Slowly, Gao Yuan analyzed:

"It can be seen that the point that led to the change in the logic of the gangsters before and after was that I was attacked. And what attacked me was the venom of the 'silver krait' snake that could cause me to cause anaphylactic shock. From this point of view, this gangster may want my life......"

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan's expression gradually became solemn-

It is no coincidence that he deliberately used the "silver krait" snake venom on himself, and the anonymous phone call only called the police, but did not call an ambulance, so judging from the fast onset of anaphylactic shock, there is a high probability that he who cannot get the correct treatment in the first time......

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan glanced at Xiao Wai gratefully-

can judge what happened to him so quickly, think about it, after he fell into a coma, Xiao Wai must have tried all kinds of ways to save himself......

"Hmm...... It's not even the toxicity of poison, but the idea of using anaphylactic shock to kill people is not something that ordinary people can think of......"

Noticing Gao Yuan's grateful eyes looking at him, Xiao Wai stroked his right sideburns, and said with a little happiness:

"Besides, I'm afraid even you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought that you were allergic to the 'Silver Snake' snake venom before, right? Then no one else can think of it. I think the Maori detective must have tried that knife with no poison, so he dared to stab you so directly, but he must not have thought of this......"

"Is that really the case?"

However, when Xiao Ai mentioned Maori Kogoro, Takato asked with some confusion.

"What?"

Puzzled, Xiao Ai wondered what Gao Yuan thought of.

"The person who attacked me was really Mori Kogoro......"

Thinking solemnly, Gao Yuan suddenly said this sentence seriously:

"After all, as far as Mr. Mori is concerned, I'm afraid that Mr. Mori is unlikely to do this kind of hurtful thing when he is threatened......"

"However, after all, he doesn't know the real purpose of the murderer trying to stab you, and the surveillance outside our house ......"

I didn't quite understand the meaning of Gao Yuan's words, so Xiao Ai asked rhetorically.

"Gray Yuan, you said that after this gangster kidnapped the concubine lawyer from the beginning, he first used the computer camera to spy on Maori Kogoro and them to prevent Conan from contacting the outside world. And after Mori Kogoro left the operation alone, he asked Mori Kogoro to bring a radio to monitor him......"

Slowly, Gao Yuan analyzed:

"Would such a murderer who is so cautious leave the most crucial point, the stabbing of me, to Mr. Maori? Besides, Mr. Mori and I are both detectives, and Mr. Mori has recently become a well-known detective, even if Mr. Mori's actions have been under the supervision of the gangsters, as long as the gangsters are no longer watching all this with their own eyes, then even if I don't know anything about everything beforehand, Mr. Mori can find a way to hint at me and cooperate with him to play a scene to deceive the gangsters, right? ”

"But aren't you the Maori detective who went to meet with you personally? If he's not really a Maori detective, you should recognize him right away, right? ”

Probably understanding the meaning of Gao Yuan's words, Xiao Ai asked questions about the remaining doubts.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Actually...... As long as I think of the incident that made me bite the 'silver krait' before, there is one detail that impresses me very deeply-

That is, in order to create the illusion that Xiaolan has been dissected, to achieve the purpose of deceiving everyone and making Kudo Shinichi collapse, the murderer really used the body of a young woman who had been dissected, and made the other party into Xiaolan's appearance to deceive the police at the time. And it was only after careful inspection that I realized that it was a mask on a real face......"

"So, do you suspect that if this incident is really related to the previous incident, then it is clear that the murderer has the means to disguise himself as someone else?"

was very surprised, after listening to Gao Yuan's narration, Xiao Wai couldn't help but feel a little afraid-

"It's ...... to be able to disguise this kind of thing perfectly"

Actually, if I have to say, that kind of cross-dressing is not perfect, but at the time, because it was put on the body of a corpse, there was no need to worry about unnatural reactions when there was a change in expression. If you really want to talk about the perfect cross-dress......"

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of Black Feather Kaito-

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been able to get cross-dressing, but I've only been able to turn one person into another person's disguise, and I can't disguise people as a fixed target......

I can only say that it is so difficult to have such a perfect disguise......

"So, do you suspect that Mori Kogoro you saw at the time was actually a prisoner in disguise?"

After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Xiao Ai couldn't help asking.

"Hmm. After all, it was late in the day, and I didn't think much of it, and what he said to me at the time was the same as the reason I thought at the time that Mr. Maori might come to me, so I didn't take it too seriously......"

As he spoke, Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xiao Wailing:

"Gray Plains, use the computer in the basement to check all the hidden surveillance content along the way outside the door of our mansion, I think we might be able to find some clues from it!"

I thought it was a common cold, but it turned out to be Shouyang...... uncomfortable
