Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 733 A new week begins!
Hearing what the doctor said, Mori Kogoro and Conan were startled, and hurried over.

"I'm a family member of a patient, what happened?"

The doctor glanced at Mori Kogoro, then at Qin Zhibo suspiciously, and replied, "Just now the patient's body experienced severe convulsions. We have given her a sedative to calm her down temporarily."

"But now the patient's body temperature is extremely unstable, accompanied by rapid eye movements."

"This is an exceptional case and we will need to do further physical examinations to determine the cause."

The doctor's explanation was very vague, because it was the first time he had seen such a sudden case of a cold since childhood.

At this time, the emergency cart was sent over.

Mori Kogoro hurriedly carried the man from the hospital bed to the cart, and followed the nurse out of the ward.

Conan also anxiously followed the emergency cart and left the ward.

In the huge ward, Qin Zhibo was left alone in a blink of an eye.

Qin Zhibo is still recalling what happened just now, in Mao Lilan's dream, the king in yellow suddenly appeared.

The abnormality on Mao Lilan's body should be inseparable from the king in yellow.

But why did the king in yellow suddenly appear in Mao Lilan's dream?

According to Qin Zhibo's understanding of the king in yellow, he hardly ever shows up in the real world, but it is a dream that he can send to those who have come into contact with him inadvertently.

For example, it is the yellow seal in the haunted house. The son of the fake mother became crazy because of the contact with the yellow seal.

Another way is through the medium of "The King in Yellow".

Mao Lilan once watched the performance of "The King in Yellow".

Even if it is a deleted version, it only avoids the impact of the script itself on people, but the connection between people and God has been established.

When Mao Lilan dreams of that past time, watches the stage play again in the dream, and thinks of the king in yellow that he saw in the window, it will become extremely dangerous.

Dreaming of the king in yellow in a dream is tantamount to summoning the king in yellow into his dream.

Now the only way to save Mao Lilan is to find a way to "invite" the king in yellow out of Mao Lilan's dream.

However, it is easier to ask God than to send God away.

Mao Lilan's dream is now occupied by a more powerful existence, and even soul searching can no longer enter Mao Lilan's dream.

Moreover, the function of the soul search technique is only to see other people's memories and dreams, and cannot affect the contents inside.

How to do it?

Qin Zhibo checked his props column, wanting to see what props could be used in it.

Navigator, Nuclear Lighter, Eureka Gun, Guardian Totem, Shroud
There are many props, but there are no props that can affect the spirit.

There used to be a mind-enhancing potion, but it was used on Moon Shadow Island in order to help Ma Cheng get rid of the troubles from Aldebaran.

Aldebaran.
Qin Zhibo thought about it, isn't Aldebaran the symbol of the king in yellow?

That is to say, the king in yellow nearly sent Ma Cheng into eternal madness, but the will-enhancing potion saved his life.

According to this principle, maybe the will-enhancing medicine is also useful for Mao Lilan?

But after thinking about it, Qin Zhibo felt that something was wrong.

The main symptom of the King of Yellow Clothes acting on Ma Chengshi's body is a large decrease in willpower.

But after being forced out of Mao Lilan's dream just now, Qin Zhibo checked Mao Lilan's will, and it didn't drop much.

Mao Lilan's initial will was 40, it became 37, and then this number has been maintained.

This is because although both of them are influenced by the king in yellow, the principle is not the same.

Asahi was indeed affected in the real world, and the light of Aldebaran in the real world contained the power from the dark star.

Mao Lilan felt the domination from the king in yellow in the dream, not in the real world.

If an analogy is made, Mao Lilan's situation is more like the Mrs. Garner who was affected by "The King in Yellow" in the case of the yellow fantasy and rhapsody.

Mrs. Garner came into contact with "The King in Yellow" when she was abroad, and was subtly influenced by this book.

Her willpower did not decline rapidly in a short period of time, but went through a rather long cycle, gradually declining to a level far below normal people.

In the end, her will was distorted by the dream, and she killed another person who was dominated by the dream of the king in yellow, and she was also imprisoned in a mental hospital.

If this is the case for Mao Lilan, there should be no serious problems in the short term.

But in the long run, the dream of the king in yellow is like a gangrene, if it can't be completely cut off, those dominating dreams will sooner or later make people's San value zero.

But what can be done to completely clear the dream of the king in yellow?
At this point, Qin Zhibo temporarily stopped thinking, thinking about going to see Mao Lilan's condition first.

ICU.

Mao Lilan, who had been replaced with a new hospital bed, was lying on it, but more vital signs monitors were placed on her body to keep track of the situation at any time.

After conducting a series of physical examinations, the doctor still could not draw any reliable conclusions.

During the inspection, Mao Lilan's vital signs all returned to a stable state on their own, but only her thinking remained active.

After the doctor analyzed the EEG, it was speculated that Mao Lilan's brain might be continuously dreaming.

This is the only explanation to explain that the cerebral cortex is still active after a person is dormant.

In other words, the situation just now may have been a false alarm.

But for the sake of insurance, Mao Lilan still needs to stay in the intensive care unit for a while, at least until he wakes up.

Qin Zhibo pushed open the door of the ward, and saw Mori Kogoro and Conan waiting by the bed.

Although the two forced themselves to calm down, the worry on their faces still showed from time to time.

Seeing Qin Zhibo coming in, Mori Kogoro turned around to face Qin Zhibo and bowed standardly.

"Just now, thank you."

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled, and asked in confusion, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for notifying the doctor in time."

In the past, because of competitors, Mori Kogoro and Qin Zhibo always had a unilateral confrontation.

But at this moment, Mori Kogoro expressed his formal thanks to Qin Zhibo as a father.

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what was worth mentioning alone, but maybe this was a manifestation of the heavy fatherly love in Mori Kogoro.

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

Mori Kogoro nodded, and said, "I'll make a phone call."

After finishing speaking, Mori Kogoro went out to report to Fei Eri.

Conan looked at Mao Lilan's sleeping face with a serious face, thinking about it in his mind.

Although it wasn't the first time he looked at the sick and unconscious Mao Lilan like this, he could vaguely feel that this time was different from before.

Xiaolan
Qin Zhibo looked down at the affectionate Conan, and did not interrupt, but also watched Mao Lilan silently.

The willow-like brows were slightly frowned, and Mao Lilan's brain seemed to be experiencing something.

What it is, now Qin Zhibo has no way of knowing.

However, from the dream he had seen just now, Qin Zhibo had some guesses about the silver-haired road demon.

The silver-haired road demon should be Sharon Wynyard.

Sharon Wynyard is proficient in disguise and voice changing, but these two techniques are not perfect.

For example, when a person is suddenly and extremely panicked, the subconscious actions of the brain are the easiest to expose their original voice.

When the railing that the road demon was leaning on broke, she was suddenly frightened by weightlessness, and she subconsciously let out a soft cry.

The person involved may not be able to hear this voice clearly, but Qin Zhibo, as a bystander, can hear it clearly.

It was not a man's voice, but a woman's.

In addition, when Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran grabbed the skirt of the road devil, the road devil reached out and grabbed the railing, and jumped back to the platform nimbly.

At that time, the two sleeves of the Highway Demon came down a little due to the raised arms.

Qin Zhibo remembered that those two wrists were very slender, not like arms that could easily pull his whole body up with just his arms.

Among the disguise techniques, the thickness of arms and legs is the most difficult to disguise.

Although it is also possible to put a circle of artificial arm guards on the outside of the arm, it will greatly limit the flexibility of the limbs, which is even more strange.

So generally when completely disguised into another person, the disguiser will pass this part directly and choose to cover it with body-covering clothes.

Of course, this is all based on Kaitou Kidd's experience.

And Sharon Wynyard apparently did the same, without disguising her arms.

Another important reason is that Sharon Wynyard used Sheriff Radish's human skin mask outside the theater.

The human skin mask was made in advance, and Qin Zhibo could probably guess its purpose.

Disguise as Sergeant Radish and escape from the police encirclement.

This tactic of escaping the golden cicada's shell is also a common method used by Kaitou Kidd.

In addition, Sharon is also very familiar with the inside story of the troupe.

He is obviously an outsider visiting the troupe for the first time, but he knows all kinds of gossip in the troupe like the back of his hand.

And she once said something like this after Mao Lilan was injured——

"If there were gods who were kind to humans, then you wouldn't be hurt."

This shows that Sharon probably already knew about Rose's abnormality, and knew that Mao Lilan risked injury, but saved a murderer who was about to kill.

Looking back at Rose's killing method, the only subtlety is that Rose must let Keith use the stage to kill people in this way.

Originally, the height of the mirror was just enough to block Keith, who is 1 meters tall, so the stage Naraku was never used in previous performances.

But Rose secretly smashes the top of the mirror, which is regarded as the troupe's mascot.

In order to prevent the actors from discovering the damage to the mascot, the troupe had to secretly cut off the damaged part of the top of the mirror.

In this way, the mirror that could just block Keith would not be able to block it.

Therefore, Keith can only use the stage Naraku to appear on the stage, providing Rose with a chance to kill.

During this process, most of the actors and troupe personnel did not know that the mirror was damaged, nor did they know that the performance was changed to use the stage Naraku.

This is why the investigation by the New York police did not find the obvious clues on the stage at the beginning.

But if he is the behind-the-scenes owner of the troupe, he can be destroyed through the mirror, and with the golden apple sent by Rose, he can guess that Rose might kill someone.

There are indications that Sharon may be the behind-the-scenes boss of the troupe.

When I investigated Sharon's resume on the Internet, she made her first stage performance in this troupe, and the play was "Golden Apple".

Since Sharon is the killer of the black organization, the organization also intends to train her to be a female star who contacts the upper class.

It is not difficult to guess that Sharon was popularized by the black organization, and the first performance was probably also promoted by the organization.

With the backing of black organizations, it is not surprising that Sharon can gradually become the behind-the-scenes boss of the troupe.

But Sharon is also a member of the black organization, so the real behind-the-scenes boss of the troupe should be the boss of the black organization.

But in this way, Renye Karasuma just sent "The King in Yellow" to his troupe, so that the troupe could reinterpret the story of the king in yellow.

As early as 40 years ago in the Twilight Pavilion, he used the story of "The King in Yellow" to create puzzles for scholars to decipher.

Now people have brought "The King in Yellow" to the Broadway stage.

It seems that Renye Karasuma has a soft spot for the story of "The King in Yellow".
But it also proves another thing.

If you exclude the coincidence of the previous two black organization bosses' hobbies in "The King in Yellow", it would be——

Karasuma Renya is still alive.

It was almost midnight.

In the silent intensive care unit, time seemed to stand still, except for the electrocardiogram monitoring Mao Lilan's heart beating evenly.

Qin Zhibo looked up at the time, the hour and minute hands were about to coincide at 12, and he was waiting for the second hand to return.

Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the sky at night
The bell was about to strike zero o'clock, Qin Zhibo stood up slowly from his seat, and walked straight out of the ward.

Mori Kogoro and Conan on the other side of the hospital bed glanced at Qin Zhibo's back, and didn't ask anything, just thought that Lao Qin was going to the toilet.

By the window in the hospital corridor, Qin Zhibo watched the moon and stars outside, and waited quietly.

[Mall props are being refreshed.]

【Refresh completed】

Qin Zhibo looked at the prompt that popped up in the upper left corner of his vision, and heaved a sigh of relief for some reason.

A long week is finally over
Qin Zhibo couldn't wait to open the mall to check the mall props on sale this week.

Qin Zhibo had some expectations for these props.

Maybe there are some props inside that can help Mao Lilan get rid of the entanglement of the nightmare.

This week is the same as the previous weeks, with a total of 6 items refreshed, 5 of which are props and 1 is a skill.

The first prop gave Qin Zhibo an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
