Conan's villains

"It was Mr. Lu Ming who sent Officer Megure to the hospital."Officer Shiratori roughly told Kogoro about the current situation.

Kogoro pinched his chin and thought:"So, this does not rule out the possibility that this was an accident?"

Officer Shiratori nodded:"Yes, so far it can be said that."

Seeing that several people were talking about the case, Lu Ming, who had no interest in it, made an excuse that he had some trivial matters at home, and left the hospital with everyone's repeated thanks.

Weekends are for enjoyment. Making a cup of coffee, basking in the sun, and reading a book, isn't it better than doing anything else?

However, although he thought so, the reality is sometimes the opposite. The more you want to avoid trouble, the more trouble likes to come to you.

The next afternoon, Lu Ming was lying on the sofa reading miscellaneous books, and a knock on the door interrupted him.

Lu Ming's first reaction was that Yoko Okino had returned early. He put down his book and went to open the door, only to find that the person standing at the door was not the person he thought, but Officer Megure, Kogoro and Xiaolan.

""How come Officer Megure was discharged from the hospital so soon? Is he alright?" Lu Ming welcomed the three people into the house, poured a cup of tea for Kogoro and Officer Megure, poured a glass of juice for Xiaolan, and then sat down in front of the three people. Lu Ming looked at Officer Megure and asked with concern.

Officer Megure touched the injured part, smiled and shook his head:"It's nothing serious now."

"So why did you come to me today?"

"Teacher Lu Ming." Kogoro said with a rare serious expression:"In fact, in addition to Officer Megure being attacked yesterday, my wife Eri Kisaki and Dr. Agasa were also attacked by the bad guys."

"Oh?" Lu Ming pretended to be surprised, and sat up straighter from the sofa, and asked,"Are you sure it was done by the same criminal?"

Xiao Goro nodded,"It is basically certain that the murderer is the murderer I arrested ten years ago, Murakami J�. We learned that he was released from prison a few weeks ago. I think he came out of prison with revenge against me, so he attacked the people around me."

"But Mr. Maori should have a lot of friends. Even if Murakami wants to take revenge on you, he doesn't have the energy to attack everyone. This is unrealistic."

"In addition, we found other clues."Inspector Megure took out three photos from his arms, put them on the coffee table and pushed them in front of Lu Ming, saying:"These are the things we found at the scene when the three of us got into trouble. The rapier, the rose, and the soldier's sword. Lu Ming, do you know what this represents?"

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows:"If I'm not mistaken, these should be the weapons held by the characters in the Spade J, Spade Q, and Spade K in the playing cards."

"That's right."Kogoro's eyes flashed with praise:"In addition, the name of Inspector Megure is Megure Jusan, which is the K in playing cards. My wife, Eri Kisaki, is queen in English, which refers to the Q in playing cards. As for Dr. Agasa, if you split the word"Shi" into two parts, it can be read as eleven, which refers to the J in playing cards."

"A few hours ago, a friend of mine, Mr. Hongshu, was almost killed because of the number 10 in his name. The murderer replaced his eye drops with mydriatics, which made him unable to open his eyes while flying a helicopter and he almost lost his life. So we have confirmed one thing, the murderer should be following the order of the playing cards, from K to A, and specifically attacking people with numbers in their names."

Lu Ming nodded, but he was still wondering why they came to him:"That being said, there is no number in my name."

"No, it's in your name too." Kogoro said,"Your last name, Lu, can also be read as Liu in Chinese, which means six. Am I right?"

Lu Ming didn't expect that Kogoro actually knew polyphonic characters in Chinese, but after thinking about it carefully, Kogoro would never have this ability. This should be something that the detective kid who didn't come noticed and told him.

"Yes, you are right. According to what you said, there are indeed numbers in my name."Lu Ming smiled lightly and said,"So, I am now one of the targets of the murderer?"

Xiao Wulang looked apologetic:"I am really sorry, Mr. Lu Ming, for involving you in this case, but I, Xiao Wulang, promise that I will catch the murderer as soon as possible and will not let the murderer hurt you."

Xiao Wulang's apology was very sincere, but Lu Ming was not worried at all.

Not to mention that he had nothing to do with this case, even if he did, he could quickly get rid of him before the murderer could do anything to him.
