Chapter 57 Shooting
"Ah, you are all here." Officer Megu walked into Dr. Agasa's ward in awkward posture.
"Officer Meguri! Why did you come here? Are you healthy? " Kogoro Mouri said with concern.
"It's okay, as long as you don't exercise vigorously, it won't affect at all." Police Officer Meguri said with a smile. "I heard that Dr. Agasa was also attacked, so I came over and checked. Did Murakami's crime prove that the law of selecting the targets of attack in the order of cards was confirmed?"
"Yes, police department, it has been confirmed that after you, Mr. Maori's wife, Virgin Miri, received a gift from the gangster - a gift box with pesticides, with a white paper flower sticking on it, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the Q of the playing card spades.
Dr. Agasa was also attacked just now. The gangster threw down a piece of paper during the attack, which was this one." Police Officer Shiragou said as he lifted the evidence bag in his hand to let Officer Megu see clearly.
"This thing is exactly the same as the pattern on J spades in the card, and Dr. Agasa's name is Dr. Agasa, and the character "Shi" is eleven. Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that the criminals are indeed committing crimes in the order of cards, and the selected targets are people known to Mr. Maori."
"..." Meguru Thirteen cast a look at Dr. Agasa who discovered a similar look.
"Nah, Officer Memu, what are you holding?" Conan pulled Officer Memu's trousers and asked in a coquettish tone.
"Oh, this is a photo of Murakami Jokami. He was still taking it as a dealer who bets cards." Officer Meguru glanced at Conan and explained.
"Since that's the case, it's now Ten of Spades. If the gangsters continue to commit crimes in the order of playing cards, the next target is this person. Brother Maori, is there anyone you know who has ten names?" Officer Meguri turned his head and asked Kogoro Mori.
"Ten...Ten..." Kogoro Mouri frowned, thought seriously, and then suddenly realized, "Miss Towako!"
"Who is this Miss Towako? Where is it now?" asked Officer Shirago.
"...Musan, a mother at a Ginza nightclub..." Kogoro Mori said with a serious expression.
......
Night, Ginza.
Ginza is not deserted at all under the night. The neon lights on the roadside are from upstairs to downstairs, from the street to the end of the street, using colorful light effects to create a lively and prosperous atmosphere.
There was a steady stream of traffic on the road, without the congestion during peak days, and it seemed much smoother and more refreshing.
A white car parked at the door of Shihemi Nightclub. Several figures of all sizes hurriedly got out of the car and ran into the gate of the nightclub.
Seeing that there was a woman among the group, and even a little girl, the waiter standing at the door to welcome the guests was inexplicably surprised and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, are people now so open? People in the city really know how to play.
As soon as you enter the gate, the dark red luxurious decorations come into your eyes. The ground is covered with crimson carpets, and the waiters wearing tuxedoes bow respectfully to show their welcome.
A woman wearing a purple embroidered kimono happened to pass by. Her hair was combed behind her head and her lips were covered with dark red lipstick. Although she was not young, she still had charm. When she saw Kogoro Mouri, she spoke warmly and gentlely to welcome her:
"Ah, it's Mr. Maori."
Kogoro Mori quickly stepped forward and grabbed Towako's hand and said excitedly:
"Ah~, Miss Towako, it's really great that you're fine."
"I'm fine, is something wrong?" Shikako asked in confusion.
......
On the road, on the car.
Because Kogoro Mouri insisted on staying in the nightclub to protect Miss Towako personally, Officer Shirato could only send Ran Maori and Conan home first, and then go back to guard with Officer Meguro.
"Officer Shirato, what were you going to say when you were in Officer Megumi's ward before?" Ran Maori cared very much about that matter.
Of course, she cared more about why that guy Kudo Shinichi suddenly disappeared again. He always appeared like this, suddenly appeared, suddenly left, and left herself alone.
"It's the case of Murakamijok," Conan added from the side.
"Ah, that case, I think you can know as long as you go to investigate, so I'll just say it. Actually, I heard from a senior." Police Officer Shiragou didn't care about anything like the police code confidentiality system.
"Ten years ago, Mr. Maori was still a policeman and handled the case with Officer Meguro. At that time, Mr. Maori's position was higher than Officer Meguro.
In short, the two of them worked together to capture the murderer Murakami.
However, when he took Murakami back to the police station to take the record, he suddenly said he wanted to go to the bathroom. Mr. Maori and Officer Meguri asked one of his subordinates to take him there, and the two were smoking and waiting at the door of the interrogation room.
It happened that at this time, Madam Maori brought you, the young one, to deliver clothes to Kogoro Mouri.
Murakami found an opportunity in the bathroom and attacked the police officer and stole his gun..."
"I remembered it," Ran Maori said with a complicated expression, "At that time, that man held my mother hostage with a gun, and my father... actually shot and injured my mother... Why did my father want to shoot at that time?"
Ran Maori was very puzzled by Kogoro Mori's behavior.
"I think maybe Mr. Maori is very confident in his shooting skills. He thought he could avoid the hostage and shot the gangster directly, but he didn't expect to shoot your mother. I heard that because of this incident, there was a lot of dispute in the police station at that time. After that, your father stopped being a police officer."
......
Maori Ran stood by the window of Maori Detective Office with great worries. She could not understand why her father would choose to shoot at that time.
Dingling ~
The phone rang on the office desk, and Ran Maori came to his senses and reached out to pick it up.
"Hi."
"Lan, it's me."
"Shinichi! Where are you? Why did you suddenly appear and disappear suddenly? Come back now, okay?" Maori Ran finally caught the lifebuoy like a drowning person.
"I still have something to do now, so I can't get out of it, so I can't go back for the time being."
"Is that true..." These remarks were made, and the light in Mori Ran's eyes was dim and his voice was faint and his voice was faint.
Feeling the depression of Mori Ran, Conan, who called Mori Ran with a voice changer, wanted to pass by casually, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered what Tani Mizuto said and pretended to be his own business.
Those perfunctory words that had been used countless times suddenly couldn't say. Yuanzi was always worried about Xiaolan, but what did she do? What she needed now was not Conan who was by her side, but Shinichi Kudo who could rely on...
"I said, if it was Shinichi, would you shoot? I just learned today why my mother left her father? When she was held hostage, his father actually shot without hesitation, and it was my mother who hit him...
Even if I have confidence, I can't shoot. I can no longer believe my dad.
If it were Shinichi, you wouldn't have fired, right?"
"If I say something, you ask me now, I don't know. Even if the uncle shot the aunt at that time, it doesn't mean the truth is like what I saw. Do you understand?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Lan, let's do it. I'll come back tomorrow and I'll hang up first."
