Chapter 312 Uncle Maori's Reasoning

"Jingle Bell……"

Uncle Maori was awakened by the ringing of the alarm clock. He opened his eyes groggily and yawned.

"…What's going on? Has everyone left?" Uncle Maori rubbed his eyes and said to himself, "When did I fall asleep?"

He glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed, and suddenly realized, "No wonder, it's so late now, Xiaolan and the others have already gone home to sleep."

The curtains in the ward were open, and when Uncle Maori was looking at the alarm clock, he saw the window out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, he discovered something and his eyes widened.

Uncle Maori looked through the window and was surprised to see two dark shadows flashing on the window of the building opposite.

A black shadow held a knife in his hand, stood behind another black shadow, and then stabbed the black shadow in front of him with a knife.

Then, the two shadows fell to the ground together and disappeared.

"What's going on? This is a murder case!" Uncle Maori's face suddenly became extremely solemn. He hurriedly pushed away the quilt, took his crutches, and limped out of the ward.

Although Uncle Maori's movements were hampered by a broken leg, he absolutely could not stand idly by when faced with such a thing.

Uncle Maori was leaning on a crutch. Although he was running as fast as an ordinary person, with the crutch in his hand moving very fast, in fact, his speed was not as fast as that of an ordinary person jogging.

He ran at a slow pace until he came to the front desk in the corridor, pounded the table, and shouted to the nurse with a serious face: "Call the police! There's a murder!"

"Okay, I'll do it now!" The nurse also knew the seriousness of the matter and responded quickly.

She also knew that Kogoro Mouri was a great detective and would not lie about the situation casually.

The nurse picked up the phone, and Uncle Maori ran forward without looking back.

However, when he arrived at his destination, which was the room opposite Uncle Maori's ward, he pushed open the door and was surprised to find...

This is an empty warehouse, pitch black. After turning on the lights, there is nothing.

"Strange, it's clearly here...what's going on?" Uncle Maori was confused.

The police arrived at the scene quickly, led by Officer Megure again.

"Is the body gone?" Inspector Megure asked, looking at the empty room.

"This is the only thing I can think of now..." Uncle Maori frowned and touched his chin seriously.

At this time, Dr. Jiang Teng ran in and said rudely, "Nothing happened here, great detective, please go back."

Dr. Eto's attitude was very arrogant, even arrogance, as if he owned this hospital.

He ordered Uncle Maori to leave and return to his own ward immediately.

"What? Are you doubting me?" Uncle Maori had a bad temper. How could he accept such an attitude? He shouted directly.

"Isn't it?" Dr. Eto said with a sneer.

Dr. Shirai ran in, pulled Dr. Eto apart, and advised, "Okay, it's late now."

"Since nothing has happened, let's all go back. Delaying here will cause trouble to the patient."

"Doctor Shirai, a murder did happen here just now. I saw it with my own eyes..." Uncle Maori argued somewhat unconvinced.

"Mr. Maori, as your attending physician, I am very worried about your previous mental condition." Dr. Shirai changed the subject and made a hint.

What he meant was that Uncle Maori was in a bad mental state, so he was dazzled and saw things wrongly. "It's true..." Uncle Maori suddenly felt a little unconfident after hearing the doctor's words, and hesitantly said, "I was chatting with Doctor Shirai before, and I don't know why, I suddenly fell asleep."

As a patient, he still believes in what the doctor says.

"Haha!" Doctor Eto laughed and said sarcastically, "It seems that our great detective will also get tired and dizzy one day!"

As Uncle Maori showed weakness, everyone present thought that he was dazzled and had seen it wrong.

Even Inspector Megure thinks so.

But is this really just a misunderstanding?
Uncle Maori was silent.

Doctor Eto continued to taunt, "You actually gave us a false alarm. You're really great, great detective!"

After saying that, he turned around arrogantly and prepared to leave.

Uncle Maori began to doubt himself.

Did I really see it wrong?
No, I definitely didn't see it wrong!
This firm idea emerged in Uncle Maori's mind. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Ze Yu had said to him before.

Next, one of Dr. Eto and Dr. Shirai might be killed.

If a murder really happened, the murderer was another doctor who is still alive!
But the problem is that it is now clear that the two doctors who were targeted are still alive.

So, who died?

Who is the murderer?
Uncle Maori fell into deep thought. His confused and messy brain became clear, which was rare. One thought after another ran through his mind.

A guess emerged in his mind.

the answer is……

No one was killed just now.

And what comes next is the highlight!

Uncle Maori's expression quickly changed from the previous 'surprise and suspicion' to a firm and serious look.

He said very seriously: "Dr. Shirai, Dr. Eto, and everyone in the hospital, you must be careful recently."

"I suspect that what I just saw was not a murder case, but someone was practicing. The guy who was stabbed was a dummy!"

"Only a dummy that doesn't bleed could be cleaned up so cleanly in such a short time without leaving any traces."

"Someone is preparing for the next murder case and practicing with a dummy!"

"I don't know who that person is, nor do I know who he wants to kill, but you all have to be careful and don't become his target!"

As soon as Uncle Maori finished speaking, everyone present showed shocked expressions.

"Brother Mori, are you telling the truth?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.

"Although it's just a guess, I insist that my reasoning will not be wrong." Uncle Maori raised his eyebrows and said word by word: "I bet on my reputation as a detective, Maori Kogoro."

Hearing this, Inspector Megure's expression became serious and he nodded.

You know, for a detective, it goes without saying how important reputation is.
