Chapter 188 Serial Victims
Chapter 189: Serial Victims

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a week has passed since the last time I had dinner with my mother. Life was relatively stable during this period. Occasionally, I would skip classes and go back to Shoulang to see Jingliu. Conan was used to it and didn't care. Anyway, every time he made sure that I was not going to kill anyone, he couldn't control the rest. As for my mother, she hasn't called me since the last dinner. It seems that she is a little disappointed with what I did, or it may be due to work or something. In short, I had a relatively stable week. Unfortunately, the godson of the god of death has a halo after all. Life was peaceful for only a week, and then something incredible happened around him... Inspector Megure was attacked.

"Inspector Megure!" When our family, who had originally planned to take the children on an outing, heard the news that the inspector was injured at the Midoridai Police Hospital, we hurried over.

"Oh, brother Maori, you're here." In the quiet ward, seeing the newcomers, Officer Megure also greeted us while lying on the bed. "Thank you for coming all the way here."

"We are just stopping by during our outing." Xiaolan, who was following behind, said politely.

"Inspector, are you okay?" Dad was a little nervous, after all, he was his former boss. Dad was still a little worried about Inspector Megure. But soon, Inspector Shiratori standing next to him broke Dad's nervousness.

"Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit the vital parts, so it's not life-threatening, but he needs to be hospitalized for treatment." Officer Shiratori said as he flipped through the medical records. Then he took out the police booklet and said, "The weapon used by the criminal was a pistol-style crossbow. We don't know whether the criminal intended to target Officer Megure or it was just an accident. We are investigating both aspects."

"Hey, Mr. Inspector. Don't you usually carry a gun? Why did you let the criminal get away?" Children are children, and they want to get the answer they want in their hearts no matter what the situation is. So Yuantai immediately asked.

"Idiot, how can you carry a gun on your morning run?" Dad said dissatisfiedly with his hands on his hips.

"Hahaha, even if I had a gun, I wouldn't dare to shoot without permission." Officer Megure laughed, not caring about the child's question at all. "After all, I don't have as good a gun as Brother Mori."

"Huh? Is my dad a good shooter?" Xiaolan was a little surprised.

"Yes, in the past, Mori's marksmanship was one of the best in the Metropolitan Police Department." Officer Megure praised his father.

"Haha, now I understand why you are so accurate with your gun." Conan squinted his eyes and looked at me. I shrugged and said nothing. After all, even if I killed Conan, he would never know that I was already a world-class killer before I came to this world.

"By the way, we found something strange near the place where Officer Megure was attacked." As he was talking, Officer Shiratori remembered a suspicious object at the crime scene. So he took out the object from a bag nearby. It was a plastic bag with a small sword made of cardboard inside.

"This thing... I seem to have seen it somewhere." Conan held his chin up and thought. "Xun, do you remember it?" Facing Conan's question, I recalled it briefly, but didn't think of anything special, so I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know clearly.

After some consolation, we decided to leave. Back home, Conan lay on the bed and thought carefully about the clues about the paper sword, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Hey, Xun, you have more experience. Have you thought about the problem about paper swords?"

"..." On the other bed, I flipped through my phone without saying a word. But my mind had already drifted away to who knows where.

"Kaoru?"

"Huh? What?" Conan's words interrupted my thoughts.

"What are you thinking about? Which paper sword?"

"How is that possible?" I narrowed my eyes. "It's your job to investigate the case. I'm not interested."

"Hey, hey, you have some awareness of being a dark knight. Now I have no idea at all. Please help me." Conan grinned at me.

"I noticed that you seem to have become extremely lazy since I came back." I rubbed my hair helplessly. "I have no clue about the paper sword, but don't you think the clue deliberately exposed by the criminal is very purposeful?"

"You mean... crime can still happen?!"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would the criminal leave you a clue that you can't understand? This is obviously a provocative act. He did this to tell the police that the crime is still going on. It's just that we don't know who the next target will be. I think we need the next target to determine the purpose of this clue."

"Alas...why have people become like this nowadays?" Conan frowned.

"Oh? What's wrong? Are you confused again?" I couldn't help but chuckle. "Where is the great detective who said he would cleanse my sins?"

"Tsk, you're not ashamed to say that." Conan narrowed his eyes. "After I saw that kind of world, to be honest, you've made me lose my mind. I don't know how to face the so-called evil anymore."

"Well... this shows that you have grown up." I shook my finger. "In addition to solving cases, you have begun to think objectively about the reality of this world. This will be very beneficial for you to become a detective in the future."

"Although I don't quite understand the reality, I will keep my promises to the end! I won't let you kill anyone, but let you stand in the sunshine and see the beautiful side of the world. In my name as a detective, I will lead you out of the darkness and face the light again!"

"Hi~hi." I shrugged unscrupulously. "You are right, Detective. You are really amazing, Detective."

"Hey hey..." Conan's half-moon eyes.

"Well... But don't forget that I also have conditions. If..."

Bang!
Before I could finish my words, my father opened our door with a bang. Then I heard his anxious voice. "You two, hurry up and get dressed, we're going to the hospital right away!"

"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but frown when I saw my father's anxious look.

"The hospital just called and said Yingli was poisoned and has been sent to the hospital. We have to go there quickly!" "What?!"

———————————Detective Conan The Movie: The Fourteenth Target—————————————

Outside the emergency room of Toudou University Hospital, the old man kept pacing back and forth, trying to take out the cigarette in his pocket several times, but before he could put it in his mouth, he remembered that this was a hospital. Then he put down the cigarette, frowned and continued to walk back and forth. Xiaolan also sat aside with her hands clasped together, waiting nervously. However, in Conan's eyes, this was not terrible. What was terrible was that from the beginning, Xun, who was sitting next to him, had not spoken for a long time, but from his cold face, he was in a bad mood at the moment. There was a trace of anxiety between his eyebrows. It seemed to be there and not there. Conan did not speak to Xun, because he knew that it would be better not to disturb him at this moment.

Wow. .

The door of the emergency room opened and the doctors and nurses came out one after another.

"Doctor, how is my mother?" Xiaolan was the first to stand up. The others also looked over.

"Don't worry." The doctor took off his mask and smiled at us. "Because of the timely gastric lavage, the patient's body did not absorb too much toxin, so his life is not in danger."

"Huh..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's words.

"So, is the reason for hospitalization really poisoning?" Officer Shiratori also came with us, and after learning that my mother was out of danger, he also started his work.

"Yes, according to the test of the patient's gastric solution, it can be confirmed that it is a pesticide toxin." The doctor flipped through the report and said, "But for the patient's safety, it is better for him to stay in the hospital for another day for observation."

As he was speaking, the door of the emergency room was pushed open again, and he saw his mother lying on the hospital bed, being pushed to her own ward by several nurses.

"Mom, how do you feel?" Xiaolan asked her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Ah, Lan, I'm fine." Lying on the hospital bed, my mother's voice was still weak.

"Eri..." Dad also came over.

"Honey, you're here too." Mom's eyes were full of relief.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Conan greeted, leaning on the bed.

"Yeah, Conan is here too. I'm fine, thank you." Mom smiled. "Where's Xiaoxun?"

"I, I'm here..." I walked up to the outermost edge of the crowd and said with a hint of sadness. "Are you... okay?"

"Yeah." Mom answered weakly. Then she reached out and touched my head. "I'm sorry to make you worry."

"There, ah... You need to have a good rest. I will come back to see you when you are discharged from the hospital."

"Really?" Mom's eyes showed a little relief, "Okay, Auntie will wait for you to come and play."

After a brief greeting, my mother was wheeled to the ward by the nurses, while my father and the police officers stayed where they were and continued to discuss the case.

"But after Inspector Megure, Eri was also victimized. Is this really a coincidence?"

"According to the investigation, Attorney Fei fell down after eating chocolate, and the chocolate was placed in the mailbox of the company downstairs." As he spoke, Officer Shiratori took a collection bag. Inside was a package of chocolate and a paper flower.

"Ji Keba, and paper flowers!"

Wow. . .

As soon as he finished speaking, the birds outside the window seemed to be frightened and flew away from the woods in front of the hospital very quickly, leaving only the trembling small trees.

The adults were all talking about the case and didn't notice anything unusual here. But Conan noticed it. The moment the bird flew out, Conan felt a chill on his back, because he had seen such a scene before. When the scene appeared that time, he was faced with the boundless murderous aura emitted by Xun. But this time...

Conan immediately turned his head to look at Xun, and what he saw was a calm Xun, very calm, as if there was no ripples on the lake.

"Xun, are you okay?" Conan asked me tentatively. But what he got was a cold and icy response.

"It's okay." I said expressionlessly. "Kudo, don't interfere in this matter. I'll handle it." As the words came out, a biting chill enveloped Conan's whole body. "In my own way!"

Ps: A few days ago, I went back to read the article and found that the fighting part was not well written, so I signed up for a mixed martial arts class to experience it. As a result, I was beaten up by the coach one-on-one. The muscles on my neck were strained all over. It was difficult to raise my head. There were more than ten bruises on my arms, legs, back, and waist. Then I realized that fighting is not as easy as it sounds. I think I have worked hard...

Ps2: It's the college entrance examination. All the readers who are taking the college entrance examination should work hard. I wish you all good grades. Then I will urge you to update, although it's useless (laugh~)
