Stay away from Conan

Chapter 974 Doubts about “Ten”

"Huh? What do you mean, Kudo? Did you find something?"

In this regard, when Kudo Shinichi suddenly said this with a solemn expression, Officer Megure asked in surprise, feeling that Kudo Shinichi seemed to have discovered some key clues.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was also curious and puzzled as to the origin of Kudo Shinichi's judgment that "there was more than one murderer".

So, facing everyone's puzzled looks, Kudo Shinichi took out a playing card from his pocket. The card on it was "10 of Spades", and then he said:

"Because the attack was repeated!"

Suddenly, when he saw the "10 of Spades" playing card in Kudo Shinichi's hand, Gao Yuan was suddenly startled and asked quickly:

"Where did this playing card come from?"

During the previous attack, the items representing the playing cards left at the scene as well as the playing cards themselves have been taken away by the police as evidence. Therefore, the "10 of Spades" in Kudo Shinichi's hand cannot be because he is Conan. At that time, the "10 of spades" playing card that represented the goal suggested by the "10 of spades" was placed in his car.

Therefore, Gao Yuan was very puzzled as to where and why Kudo Shinichi took out a "10 of spades" at this time and asked.

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi explained:

"According to the order of the murderer's crime, starting from the 'K' of Spades' on the playing card, and counting down from back to front, Police Officer Megure, Xiaolan's mother-in-law, Mr. Akechi, Conan, and Mr. Asahi Hiroki, so far, should be The murderer has completed the attack on the target corresponding to the '9 of Spades'.

"So normally, if the murderer feels that the previous attack has not completed the attack on Mr. Asahi Hiroki, it is reasonable to attack Mr. Asahi Hiroki again, but it is obvious that he has already started attacking Mr. Asahi Hiroki during the day. If Mr. Asahi Hiroki attacked the '9 of Spades', then why did the gangster launch another attack on the '10 of Spades' at night?"

"Who was attacked?"

Suddenly, after hearing Kudo Shinichi's words, Gao Yuan was suddenly surprised and asked curiously——

Indeed, if it is the turn of "9 of Spades" in the afternoon, then no matter what, if the turn is continued in order, the target corresponding to "10 of Spades" should not be launched at night.

However, from what Kudo Shinichi said, it seemed that at night, the gangsters launched another attack on the target corresponding to the "10 of Spades". Once this happened, it completely disrupted the gangsters' order of attack. It completely violated all the previous attack rules. Logically speaking, no matter how careless the gangster was, he would not make such a mistake.

However, now that Kudo Shinichi has said this, Gao Yuan still needs to know who the "10 of Spades" Kudo Shinichi is holding in his hand corresponds to?

On the surface, if it is still Conan, then Kudo Shinichi has no obvious injuries now?

In response, Kudo Shinichi replied:

"It's Dr. Ari!"

"Dr. Ari!"

When Kudo Shinichi said this name, everyone present was shocked and seemed to feel a little confused——

After all, according to Gao Yuan's previous inference, even if Dr. Ali was attacked, it should correspond to the number "eleven" represented by "J of Spades". Why...

"Dr. A Li... there is indeed an obvious 'ten' in the word '博'..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan briefly thought about it and made this judgment.

"That's right."

Kudo Shin nodded, and then began to explain:

"Not long ago, when Dr. Ali came out of Mihua General Hospital, there was a man waiting at the door of the hospital early, riding a motorcycle, wearing a motorcycle suit and a helmet. The crossbow shot an arrow at Dr. Ali, injuring Dr. Ali, and then left the '10 of spades' at the scene and fled the scene. It was also when I heard about this incident. After encountering such a bizarre and complicated situation, I chose to put down the case temporarily and come over to investigate together! "

In this regard, listening to Kudo Shinichi's narration about the incident that not long ago even Dr. Ari was attacked, this inevitably made everyone present feel that the situation was bizarre.

"Even if Dr. Ali can be regarded as the target corresponding to the '10 of Spades', according to the order, the attack on the '10 of Spades' should have ended last night..."

Faced with this situation, Gao Yuan said solemnly——

If this was not the case, how should we explain that last night I and Conan were in a car accident, and two playing cards "J of Spades" and "Ten of Spades" were placed in my car?

What's more, today the gangsters have obviously launched an attack on Asahi Hiroki, the target of "9 of Spades", so it stands to reason that "10 of Spades" is already in the past tense, and the gangsters will continue to attack Asahi Hiroki. The attack was carried out during the day when Asahi Hiroki did not board the helicopter. In the eyes of the gangsters, the attack was not successful. If it was excusable to carry out the attack again at night, then the attack on Dr. Agasa at night still left "black" The peach 10" approach is completely unreasonable.

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi explained:

"So, I think there should be two murderers, and they are not in a cooperative relationship. Someone is using the first murderer's poker countdown attack method to kill along the way!"

"Hitchhiking kills!"

When they heard this term, everyone present was stunned, as if they couldn't understand what Kudo Shinichi wanted to explain.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Kudo Shinichi with a serious expression——

"Kudo-san, do you think... or do you have a problem with your actions and the attack on Conan's target corresponding to the '10 of Spades'?"

At this moment, Gao Yuan seemed to be able to understand what Kudo Shinichi wanted to say.

"That's right."

Nodding, Kudo Shinichi said:

"Officer Memu, Xiaolan's mother-in-law, and Mr. Mingzhi, your three initial victims are the targets chosen by the first murderer according to the playing cards, 'K', 'Q', and 'J' There should be nothing wrong with this matter. After all, the items left at the scene were all items corresponding to the playing cards.

"And the question is whether the attack on me...'Conan' that happened after Mr. Akechi was counted as the gangster's attack on '10'!

"According to Mr. Mingzhi, because the two playing cards 'Jack of Spades' and '10 of Spades' were found in your car, Mr. Mingzhi believes that the gangster saw you and Conan together before the incident. Action, so I plan to change the target, attack you and Conan together, and complete the attack on two targets at the same time... I think there is a problem!

"Because, even if it is as Mr. Akechi said, there is no need for the gangster to put the 'Jack of Spades' in the car!"
