Chapter 196: Kogoro: Isn't this an illusion?
Eto Shengli, a damn bastard, just has a good father, and dares to make such a shameless request in front of no one?
Not only do you want to destroy everything in my past, but you also want to prevent me from embracing a bright future...... You're damned! You're damn it!!
Mitsuo Shirai gritted his teeth, the killing intent in his heart had never been so boiling.
He carefully smoothed out the wrinkles in the contract, and once again deduced his murderous plan in his mind.
Using the darkness of the night and the reflection of the windows to construct a fake murder, both the patient and the police are suspicious of the patient's mental state. It was repeated until everyone was convinced that this murder in the dark of night was only the patient's personal mental whims...... Kill decisively! Then the murder was falsely blamed on the unlucky patient, that is, Mori Kogoro.
After repeated deduction many times, the corners of Shirai Mitsuo's mouth gradually revealed a trace of hideousness.
"Manipulating human nature, playing with everyone's psychology, and leaving no trace of physical evidence, what an evil and perfect plan!"
In order to be able to become a special adviser to the Mayo Group, Mitsuo Shirai not only did not hesitate and fear the murder, but also ...... There are even some who can't wait.
He wished he could turn the clock and make the night fall immediately!
Before that, though, he had to do some preparations.
…
Mitsuo Shirai first glanced at the time on his watch, took out a bottle of sleeping pills that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, and then carefully scraped the powder on the pills according to the body data of Mori Kogoro with the scalpel of daily practice, until he obtained a dose that could make Mori Kogoro sleep peacefully for two hours, and then turned his head to look at the coffee cup on the side.
"Huh? It's strange......" Mitsuo Shirai frowned, "Didn't this cup of coffee have a stirring spoon from the beginning?" ”
As a candidate for the dean of surgery, Mitsuo Shirai has not personally done such a trivial task as making coffee for many years, and he only needs to pick up the phone to notify him, and a nurse like Kazumi Nakayama will take the initiative to bring him a cup of hot coffee.
Even his habit of drinking coffee and adding triple sugar doesn't need special instructions, and no one will forget it.
As for the low-level mistake of bringing coffee without a stirring spoon......
Someone stole the mixing spoon, right?
Mitsuo Shirai was startled, and the figure of a blonde girl quickly appeared in his mind.
He remembered that Jessica had been close to his desk and had been within easy reach of his coffee, but had ever touched his coffee...... His eyes were all focused on Jessica's proud figure, and he didn't notice it at all.
But what's the use of Jessica stealing his coffee stirring spoon?
"Whew...... Am I too nervous? ”
Shirai Mitsuo pondered for a moment, and while taking a long breath of relief, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
There's no reason for Jessica to steal his coffee stirrer, even if it had his fingerprints on it, and maybe his saliva...... But so what? Jessica, the business leader of a medical group, could still have predicted in advance that he was going to kill someone, so what could he do?
"Poof......
This speculation is simply too bizarre, and Mitsuo Shirai laughs when he thinks about it.
"Huh...... Gotta hurry up and get Mr. Maori's coffee over. ”
After picking up the phone on the table and informing the nurses, Mitsuo Shirai poured the sleeping pill powder on the electronic scale into a small paper slot, then took out a strip of instant coffee that had been prepared long ago from the drawer on the other side of the desk, and carefully tore the price tag on the coffee in half, revealing the gap hidden under the label......
…
"Dr. Shirai, I'm here to help you clean up your coffee cups!"
Soon, Kazumi Nakayama trotted in.
"Oh! Miss Nakayama, I'm really bothering you! Mitsuo Shirai smiled and took the initiative to hand over the washed coffee cup.
"Doctor Shirai, what are you talking about? A doctor's physical strength is precious, especially if you and Dr. Eto are the pillars of the department, how can you waste your physical energy on trivial tasks like making coffee? Your battlefield is on the operating table! ”
Nakayama and Mei Tiansheng were disgusted, thinking that they had slapped Mitsuo Shirai's ass smoothly and naturally, but they didn't notice how hideous Shirai's face was when he heard the words 'Doctor Eto'......
[He also deserves to be compared to me!?] 】
Mitsuo Shirai's lips trembled slightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Huh?" At this time, Kazumi Nakayama suddenly wondered, "Dr. Shirai, where's your coffee stirring spoon?" ”
"My coffee stirring spoon?" Shirai Mitsuo was slightly stunned, and the coffee that had already been taken out of his pocket had to be put back again, "When this cup of coffee was served, didn't there be a stirring spoon?" ”
"How can this be?" Kazumi Nakayama shook her head with certainty, "Your and Dr. Eto's cups are unique, and we store them separately after each cleaning, so it's absolutely impossible to miss or forget!" ”
"What!?" Mitsuo Shirai shrank his hole.
Could it be that the stirring spoon is really ......
Didi! Didi!
Just when Shirai Mitsuhiro was suspicious and wanted to figure it out further, the alarm clock on his desk suddenly rang.
Shirai Mitsuo was shocked, and immediately left behind such a trivial matter as a stirring spoon, because if he didn't run the coffee well and send it to Mori Kogoro, the dosage of sleeping pills would be a little inappropriate.
"I'm sorry, Miss Nakayama, I still have a patient to check, can I talk about the stirring spoon next time?"
"Ahh Sorry for the delay, it's okay to stir the spoon, we will prepare the same one for you, you hurry up and get busy, the patient matters! ”
"Hmm...... By the way, Miss Nakayama, could you please help me make this cup of coffee and bring it to Mr. Mori's hospital room? ”
"Ah, okay, no problem!"
…
…
"Mu Yuanjun, you go and rest first, there is still an empty bed in Conan's ward, it's good that I'm here on Dad's side."
In the ward, Mao Lilan cleaned up the fruit peel garbage left over from Kogoro's eating, and said softly.
Mu Yuan glanced at the curtains that had been closed and nodded slightly.
On the side, after replenishing enough electrolytes and eating the high-end fruits sent by Ms. Wei Meiji, Mori Kogoro quickly regained his vitality and began to get bored.
"Cut, what? There's not even a TV in this ward, but there's a replay of Miss Yoko's show at this time......" As he spoke, Mori Kogoro suddenly rolled his eyes, "Hehe, Xiaolan, can you help me buy two cans of beer?" I think I just need to take a few sips...... You'll want to sleep soon! ”
"Daddy!" Mao Lilan crossed his hands on his hips and said in annoyance, "Your ankle is very badly sprained, and you must not drink!" ”
"What, you're not a doctor......
…
"Ahaha......" Mori Kogoro's complaint was halfway through when Mitsuo Shirai's voice came from the door, "Although it's a bit disappointing, what Miss Xiaolan said is very correct, and now you really can't drink." ”
"Uh...... White, Dr. Shirai, hahaha...... I'm just kidding, not really trying to drink ......," Kogoro Mori smirked and rubbed his head.
"Although you can't drink alcohol, the coffee ...... But it's still fine. Mitsuo Shirai walked slowly into the room, and actually took the tray and put the coffee on the bedside table of Kogoro Maori.
"Oh, that's embarrassing......"
Mori Kogoro said that he was embarrassed, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and almost the moment Mitsuo Shirai put down the coffee, he directly picked it up and took a sip.
This made Mu Yuan, who wanted to stop it, directly lose the opportunity.
But fortunately, judging from the fluctuations in Mitsuo Shirai's heart when he saw Maori Kogoro drink coffee, this cup of coffee should not be harmful to Maori Kogoro, at most it just made him fall asleep for a while.
After confirming this, Mu Yuan gave up his intention to speak, anyway, he would stay in the hospital tonight, and he was not worried that Mitsuo Shirai would do something crazy to Maori Kogoro.
However, there is one thing that makes Mu Yuan a little puzzled.
"Mitsuo Shirai's heart is round, why is it suddenly shattered like this?"
Mu Yuan smacked his lips and stared unblinkingly at the top of Mitsuo Shirai's head.
It is very rare for a heart circle that is broken to the point of falling apart, because when most people suffer a major psychological impact, they either can't bear the direct heart circle breaking, or they resist it, giving birth to an emotional fish, at most leaving mottled and cracked in the heart circle.
Like Mitsuo Shirai, who is falling apart, he is almost out of spherical state......
"It's like regrouping and becoming a completely different person......
…
"Huh? Different people? Mu Yuanjun, are you talking ......"
"It's nothing," Mu Yuan lowered his head and smiled at Mao Lilan, "It's just casual self-talk, you don't have to care." ”
"Is that ......" Mao Lilan blinked, and soon seemed to understand something, and said apologetically, "Then Mu Yuanjun, go and rest, my father's matter today is really troublesome to you!" ”
“……”
Mu Yuan pursed the corners of his lips, looking at Mitsuo Shirai, who was setting the alarm clock for Maori Kogoro and pulling the curtains of reconciliation at the same time, but finally didn't say anything.
…
After drinking his coffee, Mori Kogoro quickly fell asleep.
Seeing this, Mitsuo Shirai smiled and explained to Mori Ran, saying something like 'Don't disturb Mori Kogoro and let him rest', and then turned to leave.
In this way, the orthopedic ward, which had been noisy in the middle of the night, finally ushered in a rare tranquility.
…
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
Although orthopedic patients are constantly hospitalized, they rarely call nurses urgently in the middle of the night, and things like going to the toilet are usually solved on the spot in the ward with the help of family members, which makes the corridor outside the ward a little more mysterious and quiet.
In the hospital room that Mao Lilan opened for Conan, Mu Yuan lay on the hospital bed near the door, staring sideways at the quiet corridor.
He has heard well, and he has long seen through the truth behind this seclusion.
"There were four different footsteps, and they had been wandering and moving in the hallway for a long time."
"Among them, Dr. Mitsuo Shirai is the most frequent, and Dr. Eto Shengsheng is the least frequent, and in the middle, there are two people who are about the same, one is Nurse Kazumi Nakayama, and the other is ......."
Mu Yuan didn't hear the identity of the other party from the footsteps of the last person, because the other party seemed to have changed the amplitude and frequency of his steps, creating a new kind of footsteps, and he was a master.
However, not being able to hear who the owner of the footsteps is does not mean that it cannot be guessed.
"Ms. Wei Meisi, what do you want to do?"
Mu Yuan shook his head, got up and walked outside the ward.
The ward building of the Rice Flower General Hospital is arranged in a U-shape, and Mori Kogoro's ward is on the inside of the U-shaped side, and at the end of the corridor is a 90-degree corner, which leads to the connection between the doctors and nurses, and then the other side of the U-shape.
Mu Yuan came to the corridor, first glanced at the room on the other side of the building through the window of the opposite ward, and then walked quickly to the door of Mori Kogoro's ward and waited quietly.
"It should be almost...... muttered softly, Mu Yuan's gaze swept over Xiao Lan, who was lying by Kogoro's window, and locked the alarm clock placed on the bedside table.
After three seconds......
"Bell Bell Bell ——!"
The rapid and noisy bell rang suddenly, startling Maori Kogoro straight up.
"Out, what's wrong? Is it on fire!? ”
Maori Kogoro looked around with a suspicious face, but Mu Yuan looked at Maori Lan who was still asleep with some doubts, and it was not until he found the disposable paper cup that fell to the ground at her feet that he had an answer in his heart.
"Mitsuo Shirai has no ill will towards Miss Xiaolan, it should be just ordinary sleeping pills......"
At this moment, the dim light suddenly lit up in the room opposite the building, which was directly opposite Kogoro's ward.
Mori Kogoro's attention was instantly attracted to the past, he had just seen the place where the murder took place, and it was in this room!
】
"This ......" Maori Kogoro trembled in his heart and said unconfidently, "Should there be two more figures......
Before he finished speaking, two black figures appeared in front of the window one after the other, and Mori Kogoro's heart tightened, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
[Could this be my hallucination again?] 】
[The person in the back, should he pull out the knife again......]
Poof!
The brutal and direct assassination scene made Mori Kogoro's mind stagnate.
He quickly turned his head, first looked at his daughter beside the bed, and found that Xiaolan was still asleep, and his heart suddenly cooled.
"It's over, this must be my hallucination, so noisy brain can't wake Xiaolan up, this must be my hallucination......"
As he spoke, Kogoro closed his eyes tightly, as if praying that he would wake up soon.
But at this moment......
"Mr. Maori, don't you need to call the police?"
"Huh!?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, quickly turned his head to look at the door, and exclaimed, "You, you saw it too!?" ”
Mu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the window and nodded affirmatively at Maori Kogoro, "Call Officer Twilight directly." ”
"Good! Damn bastard, how dare you kill someone in front of my famous detective Kogoro Mori! Look at me not getting you this time! ”
Lifting the quilt, Maori Kogoro rolled out of bed with a carp straightening, picked up the crutches at the head of the bed, as if he had practiced for many years, and rushed out of the door.
Mu Yuan looked at the back of Maori Kogoro and reminded, "Uncle Maori, it is best to be careful behind the door when you enter the door, the murderer may be hiding there." ”
"Got it!" Mori Kogoro's voice came from afar in the hallway.
