Stay away from Conan

Chapter 969: Get the Antidote

"What?"

In this regard, after hearing what Gao Yuan said at this time, Officer Mumu asked Gao Yuan with some doubts:

"Brother Mingzhi, that's more than just that..."

"To catch this gangster, we have to do more than just protect Mr. Asahi Hiroki and visit Mr. Sawaki. So far, the gangster has carried out five attacks and left traces at the scene each time. There are clues corresponding to the playing cards to hint at the identity of the person who was attacked, but so far, we have not found any official traces of the gangster's actions, so I want to start investigating from this aspect."

Gao Yuan replied somewhat seriously:

"So now, I think we have to make third-hand preparations."

"Um."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Officer Memu nodded affirmatively and responded:

"Indeed, what Brother Mingzhi said makes sense. However, the current investigation of the previous incidents has not found anything. I wonder what Brother Mingzhi wants to do?"

"I want to stay here and read the investigation reports on previous incidents."

As Gao Yuan said this, he had his own plan in mind——

After all, the plot has deviated so far. Even if you continue to follow the original idea, there is no guarantee that the subsequent actions will go smoothly. It is better to completely break out of the original thinking and simply look at it from the perspective of the case. Start investigating from other aspects.

Moreover, constantly thinking about who the next victim will be is just following the criminal.

Judging from the attack on him, if his thoughts were correct, the gangster originally wanted to attack Dr. Agasa in the repair shop, but after seeing himself and Conan appear at the same time, the gangster immediately changed his target. This shows that the other party can be very flexible and adapt to the situation.

When dealing with such gangsters, relying on the plot of the original work may lead to overlooking many things due to preconceptions.

Since in the original work, Mr. Sawaki Fairy, whom Mouri Kogoro and the others are going to meet next, is the murderer behind this series of events in the original work, they do not want their preconceived perceptions to affect their judgment, so Takato simply does not plan to Now I went to see each other with everyone, so I took the initiative to stay and read the report.

In this regard, seeing what Gao Yuan said, Officer Mumu nodded based on trust, and then said:

"Okay. I will ask Sato to bring you the relevant materials. Then let's go to Mr. Sawaki first!"

From this, a three-pronged approach was adopted. Under the leadership of Kogoro Mori, Officer Megure followed everyone to Sawaki's residence. Gao Yuan stayed in the reception room of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Miwako Sato assisted in checking the current police information on this matter. The investigation report of the incident, and for the rest, Officer Megure arranged for police officers to help Mr. Asahi Hiroki complete his fake murder situation and assigned police officers to protect him——

"That's right. The most I can do is pretend to be in trouble until the day of the U.S. Open. I can't give up on this game. I hope you can catch the gangster before then!"

Before leaving, Asahi Hiroki added this, reminding everyone that his disguise of help also had a time limit. Once the day of the Golf U.S. Open came, Asahi Hiroki, as a professional golfer, still would not Give up the competition.

But by then, if the police have not caught the gangster who planned the incident, then the gangster will find that he has been deceived, and there is no guarantee what the gangster will do by then.

Therefore, Officer Megure, Gao Yuan, Mouri Kogoro, Conan and others all knew clearly that there was not much time left for them and others...

…

"Then, this man named Murakami is just trying to get revenge on Mr. Mori, so he attacks the friends that Mori knows one after another?"

Arriving at Sawaki Koichi's house, Officer Megure, Officer Shiratori, Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan sat on the sofa in the living room and followed Sawaki Koichi, a sommelier whom Mouri Kogoro had known for many years. After briefly chatting about the reason for the visit, Sawaki roughly understood the current situation and couldn't help but ask.

"right."

In response, Mouri Kogoro responded.

"Hmm...probably so."

Because of Officer Megure's previous high-level remarks, he probably had doubts about the possibility that the murderer was Murakami's father, but at the moment it was inconvenient to say anything to outsiders, so he didn't say much.

"Then, Mr. Mori, I think you are quite calm?"

Facing the current situation, Sawaki Fair seemed quite relaxed, so he asked Mouri Kogoro, who may be the key figure in the incident.

"Ah, I am 'Five'. No matter what, it's not my turn yet!"

With a somewhat calm expression, Mouri Kogoro said jokingly, hoping to lighten the atmosphere.

But in this regard, Officer Memu could only look helpless, and then turned to say seriously:

"In short, because 'Nine' has also been attacked, Mr. Sawaki, who has the character 'Eight' in his name, will be the next target of the gangsters. Therefore, for the sake of safety, our police will We will protect you and never let that gangster harm you. I wonder if you can cooperate with our work?"

"Oh? That's great!"

Hearing what Officer Megure said, Sawaki looked very relieved and said calmly:

"With the thoughtful protection of your police, and with the famous detective Mr. Mori here, I think my safety can only be entrusted to you!"

In this regard, after a brief discussion about the protection of Sawaki Fair, Conan, who was here, noticed the many expensive wines stored in Sawaki Fair's home, which aroused the interest of Officer Shiratori. After a brief chat about wine, Mouri Kogoro and others took their leave.

Later, because Conan sneaked out while he was still in the hospital for observation, Xiaolan still took him back to the hospital forcefully. At this time, Dr. Ali learned that Conan had returned. After the hospital, he also came to the hospital, ready to take care of Conan——

"Xiaolan, why don't you go back and rest tonight? You've been too busy from yesterday to now, so I'll just take care of Conan tonight. Besides, Yingli hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. Woolen cloth……"

As night fell, in the ward, seeing Xiaolan preparing to accompany Conan, Dr. Ali couldn't help but comfort him.

In this regard, after hearing Dr. A Li mention her mother, and recalling the memories she just recalled today about ten years ago, her thoughts felt a little confused. Xiaolan finally nodded in agreement and prepared for tonight. Went to visit his mother.

Seeing this, as Xiaolan left, Dr. Ali and Conan who stayed in the ward couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, Dr. Ali took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Conan - —

"This is the antidote that Xiao Ai gave to me and asked me to give it to you..."

Somewhat solemnly, Dr. Ali said this...
