Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 974 Doubts about "Ten"
"Ah? What do you mean, Kudo? Did you find something?"

In this regard, hearing Kudo Shinichi's sudden solemn expression, Police Officer Megure asked in surprise, feeling that Kudo Shinichi seemed to have discovered some crucial clues.

Gao Yuan was also curious about this, and was puzzled by the source of Kudo Shinichi's judgment that "there is more than one murderer".

So, facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Kudo Shinichi took out a playing card from his pocket, the card on it was "10 of Spades", and then said:
"Because the attack is repeated!"

Immediately, Gao Yuan was startled when he saw the "10 of Spades" poker card in Kudo Shinichi's hand, and hurriedly asked:

"Where did this playing card come from?"

During the previous attack, the items representing the playing cards left at the scene and 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 due to being Conan At that time, the "10 of Spades" playing card placed in one's own car as the target implied by "10 of Spades".

So Gao Yuan was very puzzled, where did Shinichi Kudo come from, and why did he take out a "10 of Spades" at this time, and asked.

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi explained:

"According to the order of the murderer's crimes, starting from the 'K of Spades' on the playing card, and counting from the back to the front, police officer Mumu, Xiaolan's mother and concubine lawyer, Mr. Zhizhi, 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. Xu Hongshu, it is still within a reasonable range to attack Mr. Xu Hongshu again, but he has already started to attack Mr. Xu Hongshu during the daytime today. If the '9 of Spades' corresponding to Mr. Asahi Hiroki launched an attack, then why did the criminals launch another attack on the '10 of Spades' at night?"

"Who was attacked?"

Immediately, Gao Yuan was surprised when he heard what Kudo Shinichi said, and asked curiously——

Indeed, if it is already the turn of the "9 of Spades" in the afternoon, then no matter what, if the turn continues in sequence, the target corresponding to the "10 of Spades" should not be attacked at night.

However, according to Kudo Shinichi's words, it seems that at night, the gangsters launched another attack on the target corresponding to the "10 of Spades". Once this kind of thing happens, it will completely disrupt the order of the gangsters' attacks. It was a complete violation of all the previous attack rules. Logically speaking, even if the criminals were not rigorous, they would not make such mistakes.

However, since Kudo Shinichi said so, Gao Yuan still needs to know, who does the "10 of Spades" that Kudo Shinichi is holding now correspond to?

On the surface, if it is still Conan, then there is no obvious injury on Kudo Shinichi's body now?

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi replied:

"It's Dr. Ali!"

"Dr. A Li!"

Hearing Kudo Shinichi say this name, everyone present was shocked, and seemed to be a little confused——

After all, according to Gao Yuan’s previous inference, even if Dr. A Li was attacked, it should correspond to the number “eleven” represented by the “J of Spades”. Why...

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

As for this, Gao Yuan simply thought about it and made such a judgment.

"Yes."

Kudo Shin nodded, and then began to explain:

"Not long ago, when Dr. Ali came out of Mihua General Hospital, at the gate of the hospital, there was a man who was waiting at the gate of the hospital early, riding a motorcycle, wearing a motorcycle suit and a helmet. The crossbow shot an arrow at Dr. Ali, wounded Dr. Ali, and then left the '10 of Spades' at the scene and fled the scene. And I heard about this incident. After seeing such a bizarre and complicated situation, I chose to temporarily put down the case in hand and come here to investigate together!"

In this regard, listening to Kudo Shinichi's account of the incident that even Dr. Ari was attacked not long ago, 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 sequence, the attack on the '10 of Spades' should have ended last night..."

Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan said solemnly——

If this is not the case, how should I explain that I and Conan had a car accident last night, and two playing cards of "J of Spades" and "10 of Spades" were placed in my car?
What's more, the gangsters have obviously launched an attack on Xu Hongshu, the target corresponding to the "9 of Spades" today, so it stands to reason that the "10 of Spades" is already in the past tense, and the gangsters will continue to attack Xu Hongshu. In the eyes of the gangsters, if Xu Hongshu did not board the helicopter during the attack, it would be regarded as an unsuccessful attack. If it is justifiable to carry out another attack at night, then the attack on Dr. A Li at night will leave "black Peach 10" 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 to carry out the attack method of counting down the cards to carry out a hitch killing!"

"Hitching to kill people!"

Hearing this term, everyone present was taken aback, as if they couldn't quite understand what Kudo Shinichi wanted to explain.

As for this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he looked at Kudo Shinichi with a serious expression——

"Kudou-san, do you think... or do you have a problem with the attack on Conan's '10 of Spades'?"

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

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Kudo Shinichi said:

"Officer Mumu, Xiaolan's mother, lawyer, and Mr. Wise, the three of you are the first victims, 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 on the scene are all items on the corresponding poker cards.

"And the problem is that for me...'Conan', the attack that happened after Mr. Wise, does it count as the gangster's attack on '10'!
"According to Mr. Wise, because the two playing cards 'J of Spades' and '10 of Spades' were found in your car, Mr. Wise believes that before the incident, the gangster saw you and Conan together. Action, so I plan to change the target, launch an attack with you and Conan, and complete the attack on two targets at the same time... I think there is a problem!
"Because, even as Mr. Wise said, there is absolutely no need for the gangster to put that 'J of Spades' in the car!"
