178 Correlation or Coincidence?
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Xiao Ai's expression couldn't help but be very puzzled, and asked puzzledly:
"What do you mean? Worried that you might get involved in the investigation, so I will take action to get rid of you? In other words, this gangster has no direct hatred with you? In that case, would you really use such a subtle method to harm you for this reason? ”
Xiao Ai couldn't quite understand how what Gao Yuan said was analyzed by him.
In this regard, Gao Yuan seemed very helpless, and said with emotion:
"I don't know if it's really related or a coincidence...... If the gangster this time is the same person as the murderer of the previous incident, then this is actually understandable. After all, the trap that caused me to be bitten by a snake in the previous incident was prepared by the murderer to guard against me......"
"What?"
After all, I don't know what happened at the beginning, and Xiao Wai, who only knows the result of Gao Yuan's bite by the silver krait, seems to be a little surprised and asked.
In this regard, Gao Yuan thought about it, and tried to tell Xiao Ai about the original incident-
"So...... You showed up at the restaurant where I ate with my sister and Megumi Hanada on New Year's night because ......"
Somewhat unexpectedly, listening to the beginning of what Gao Yuan said, Xiao Wai couldn't help but say-
According to Takato, on New Year's Eve, that is, on the day of the Great Dark, Kudo Shinichi and Maori Lan originally made an appointment with Takato to go to the Maori Detective Agency together in the evening. As a result, at night, there was no one in the detective office, and Gao Yuan asked Mao Lilan's mother, that is, the secretary of lawyer Fei Yingli, and the answer was that their family was in a hotel for the New Year, so Gao Yuan, who thought that the agreement was canceled, came to the restaurant where he and his sister had dinner through the brochure in the mailbox at the door of his house......
And after hearing this, Xiao Ai suddenly understood why he met Gao Yuan in that kind of place at that time-
It's true that Kudo Shinichi and the others were kidnapped, but the main leaflet that led Takato to the hotel is probably not a coincidence......
Thinking of this, Xiao Ai's thoughts couldn't help but be a little complicated, and he was silent and didn't speak.
And in this regard, listening to Xiao Ai's unfinished words, Gao Yuan recalled for a moment, and then said:
There is a reason for that...... It is said that the serum of the snake venom of the 'Silver Snake' seems to have been brought by Megumi Hanada, if it hadn't happened to be the day of the New Year, I had only seen Megumi Hanada's face......"
Saying this, Gao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
"If that's ......"
As for Gao Yuan's statement, Xiao Ai thought about it for a while and recalled, and replied with a nodding head:
"Indeed, she seems to have shown a little interest in you after that day...... If it weren't for the meeting that day, I'm afraid she wouldn't have chosen to help even if she knew that someone was helping you find the serum......"
- And you still asked me to find it.
Without saying the rest of the words, Xiao Ai recounted what she saw from her perspective.
"But how did she know you had snake venom?"
Xiao Ai asked this question, but soon, Xiao Ai's expression was indifferent, and he said casually:
"Forget it, this question, anyway, I know her contact information now, if you really want to know, just find a chance to ask."
"Hmm."
Nodding, Gao Yuan agreed with Xiao Ai's opinion, and then turned the topic back and continued to explain what happened at that time-
And the key point is that after Takato and Kudo Shinichi acted separately, because they realized the location where the murderer kidnapped the Tibetan, and tried to find it, although they did find Fei Yingli, who was still being held by the murderer, but because of this, he fell into a trap and was locked up in it.
At the same time, in the locked room, there is also a time bomb threatening the lives of himself and Concubine Yingli.
And if you want to escape from the locked room, if you can't defuse the bomb, you can only choose to answer the question to open the door or risk starting the switch from the box with the poisonous snake closed, and the point is that the box that starts the switch is also specifically written that this is a way out for "nosy people" -
"So, according to this statement, the prisoner realized that there would be nosy people to assist Kudo Shinichi and them, and he made a special target for this, right?"
After listening to these contents, Xiao Ai somewhat understood what Gao Yuan meant, and then said:
"That's really a coincidence, or maybe it's related!"
To this, Gao Yuan replied:
"That's right. If it weren't for knowing that the previous murderer had been caught, I really think that the suspect behind this incident would still be that person! ”
"But a prisoner who has committed such a crime, after being caught, cannot come out so quickly, unless he escapes from prison."
Xiao Ai couldn't help nodding in affirmation.
At the same time, Xiao Ai's mobile phone also received a reply, and after clicking on it, he informed Gao Yuan of the result of the reply:
"Koizumi Hongzi replied, and she said, 'I'm sure it's a mask I wear.'"
In this way, after getting such an answer, Gao Yuan nodded silently, then thought about it and said:
"That's right...... That seems to be the same as I predicted. ”
"So, do you need to call the police now? The sooner this clue is told to the police, the sooner the police can investigate in this direction. Besides, I think you're recovering well. ”
In this regard, Xiao Wai smiled and asked at the right time.
"Well, since the basic situation has been roughly confirmed, then contact the police. As it happens, I'd also like to know some more specific circumstances about the whole thing, and see if there are any other clues that can be analyzed. ”
Gao Yuan replied, so Xiao Ai nodded, got up and called Miwako Sato, who was guarding the hospital.
And when Miwako Sato came to ask Takato about his attack, Takato explained to Miwako Sato the fact that the Maori Kogoro who attacked him at that time, which seems a little strange now when I think about it.
In this regard, hearing Takato say this, Miwako Sato couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked:
"In other words, it is possible that the Maori Mr. who attacked you at that time was someone else's fake?"
"yes. After all, it was already dark, and I was not very defensive against Mr. Mori himself, and I really didn't think that the person in front of me was not the Mr. Mori I knew, so when I finally realized this, when I looked at the other person, I felt that Mr. Mori's face looked a little strange. ”
So, Gao Yuan explained.
"I see......"
Nodding silently, Miwako Sato pondered.
In this way, seeing that Miwako Sato seemed to agree with her statement, Takato thought about it and took this opportunity to ask about some details about the incident......
