Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 112 How can Beika Town’s revenge not result in loss of life?

"Sister Xiaolan, why are you back so late?"

As soon as Xiaolan reached the living area on the third floor of the office, she saw Conan walking out of his and Mouri Kogoro's bedroom with "sleepy eyes".

"It's Conan, aren't you asleep yet?" Xiaolan forced a smile: "It's late, go back to bed."

Seeing Xiaolan's behavior, Conan remembered the meaningful look that Tachibana Shizuka had just given him, and subconsciously asked, "Sister Xiaolan, did Tachibana Gege bully you?"

"Huh? He bullied me?" Conan was really awesome. Xiaolan, who was originally full of worries, immediately thought about the karate club's dojo after hearing what Conan said.

Every time she trained Tachibana Shizuka to the point of ecstasy, could Tachibana Shizuka really bully her?

In a good mood, Xiaolan wanted to say a few perfunctory words to Conan and go back to rest, but Conan's serious look made her unable to say the perfunctory words, so she told Conan about the situation where Kisaki Eri was poisoned.

Not only was Eri Kisaki poisoned, but there was also the analysis that Shizuka Tachibana made while searching the office of Section 1.

After sharing the "stone" in her heart with Conan, Xiaolan returned to her room and had a good sleep.

But Conan didn't sleep for most of the night. After a night of analysis and brainstorming, Conan finally came to a conclusion.

This conclusion is similar to the one reached by Officer Sato at the Metropolitan Police Department - there are too few clues available, and even if it can be concluded that this is a serial attack case, no clue can be found for the time being.

The only way to find it is through the interpersonal network between Eri Kisaki and Inspector Megure.

Investigations like this, which require a large number of people and resources to produce results, are what detectives are least good at.

It just so happens that this type of investigation is the police's forte.

Conan got up very early because of the anxious feeling of not being able to reason about the incident. He ran to Dr. Agasa's house with dark circles under his eyes.

When people are depressed, besides trying to deal with it themselves, they actually want to talk to others. Unfortunately, Conan now has no way to talk to others, so he can only go to Dr. Agasa, the "only" person who knows his true identity.

"I didn't expect that even Lawyer Fei almost fell for it. You know, she's a very cautious person."

Dr. Agasa is also an old acquaintance of the Mori family. He is also quite familiar with the personalities of Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki. When he learned from Conan that Eri Kisaki was almost poisoned, he was deeply moved.

The criminals this time are really cunning!

"Who says it isn't?" If the criminal wasn't cunning, he wouldn't have tossed and turned for most of the night and then run to the doctor to complain early in the morning.

Just as the father and son were complaining to each other, the glass in Agasa's living room was suddenly shattered by a stone.

"Who are you?" Dr. Agasa immediately stood up angrily and walked out the door angrily: "Don't let me catch you, or you will be taught a lesson!"

He originally thought that it was some naughty kid on the street who broke his glass, but Conan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, saw what was happening outside the window.

A "fully armed" suspicious person was sitting on a motorcycle and staring at the door of Agasa's house. The suspicious person's dress immediately reminded Conan of the characteristics of the criminal that Xiaolan had told him last night.

"Doc, be careful! Don't open the door!"

By the time he shouted this, it was too late. Dr. Agasa had already opened the door. Fortunately, Conan reminded him in time. Dr. Agasa noticed the suspicious person at the door and turned to run back into the house. Then the suspicious person raised a crossbow and shot an arrow at Dr. Agasa's back. Then, without checking his "results", he turned the accelerator and ran away.

"PhD!"
.
"Ran, how is Dr. Agasa now?" Tachibana Seiji hurried to the hospital after receiving Ran's call.

"There's no danger to his life. The gangster just shot the doctor in the butt in a hurry, but Conan said that the gangster who attacked the doctor is probably the same person who attacked Inspector Megure and my mother."

"Did you find anything origami at the scene?"

"Yes, when Conan ran out, the criminals had already gone far away, but the sword in the hand of the soldier in the playing card pattern made of paper was left on the ground."

"So these three attacks can now be combined, right?"

Dr. Agasa's attack is still very important. First of all, the crossbow used by the criminal is the same crossbow used to attack Officer Megure.

The gangster Conan saw next was dressed the same as the gangster seen in the surveillance camera in the office building where Kisaki Eri's office was located.

Given A=C and B=C, we can get A=C. This is a very simple proof question.

"Officers Sato and Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department share the same idea. The three attacks are now being investigated together."

"Okay, let's go up and take a look." Tachibana Seiji was ready to meet Dr. Agasa, the hidden great scientist in Beika Town, with the introduction of Xiaolan.

In the ward, Tachibana Shizuka met Maori Kogoro and Conan, as well as Sato and Shiratori. Accompanied by Xiaolan, Tachibana Shizuka had a brief chat with Dr. Agasa on the bed, and then followed Sato Miwako and Officer Shiratori to the corridor.

"Is there any progress in the investigation into the relationship between Inspector Megure and Aunt Eri?" asked Shizuka Tachibana to Miwako Sato.

"Nothing has been discovered yet, mainly because the investigation is very extensive. But now that we have Professor Agasa, I believe the scope of the investigation will be greatly reduced."

Even if the police are good at this kind of large-scale investigation, one day is not enough to find out anything useful.

However, with Dr. Agasa as a third party, it will indeed be a lot more convenient.

The gangsters' attack on Dr. Agasa also freed Tachibana Shizuka from many restrictions, for example, now he can directly "spoil the plot".

"I have an idea here. Do you think Uncle Maori is the core of this attack?"

"what?"

"Look, Inspector Megure is Uncle Mori's old boss, right? Aunt Eri is Uncle's wife, and Dr. Agasa is Uncle's old friend.

Inspector Megure and Eri Kisaki know a lot of people in common, but wouldn't the scope be greatly reduced if Dr. Agasa from the scientific research circle is included?
The only person I can think of who knows all three of them is Uncle Maori."

Shiratori, who was standing by, suddenly understood: "Tachibana-san, are you saying that this series of attacks is a revenge against Mr. Maori?"

"Revenge against Uncle Mori? I don't think so. Look, whether it's Inspector Megure, Aunt Eri, or Dr. Agasa, they are all injured, but their lives are not in danger."

"If you really want revenge, you can't do it in such a harmless way."
