Conan Moslin

Li An came out of the ward on the seventh floor a little late, and the corridor illuminated by incandescent lights was empty.

But the noise never stopped.

As I turned the corner, I heard the sound of a door opening behind me, and then quickly closing.

She had told Kaito, so it wasn't him.

It should be the person who just came up.

Li An did not look back in the direction of the ward, nor did he walk towards the source of the sound. Instead, he followed the end of the corridor and went around to the warehouse location that Conan had mentioned before.

"By reflecting the shadows from the warehouse in the windows of the ward opposite?"

The further we walked towards this side, the quieter the noisy voices became, until they were almost inaudible.

Because of this, Li An heard the flapping of wings and loud shouting coming from outside the window.

That's not the sound Citron can make.

Thinking of this, Li An stood at the door of the warehouse.

The warehouse door had been opened. It seemed that Conan had been here before, but left quickly.

"Yes, this will create the illusion that the accident happened on the opposite side, and only uncle can see it."

The warehouse was filled with miscellaneous items and cartons, as well as some unopened medical equipment.

Li An took a casual look around and found nothing unusual.

There was only a nondescript training dummy slumped in the corner, its chest bent over its head and pressed against its knees, revealing its scarred back.

In addition, the dummy's head seemed to have been stepped on vigorously, and the back of its head was flattened.

"It's just... you've used the same trick too many times. Aren't you afraid of leaving a loophole?"

Li An looked through the window at the empty ward across from her room - the lights were on, but there was no one in that direction.

"So, beautiful lady, what are you doing here?"

Behind me, I heard a clear boy's voice and the clicking sound of a pocket watch.

He emphasized the word "beautiful" with great emphasis, which was full of irony.

"You can't run away."

She thought he followed the police officer downstairs, but why did he come to her first?

Li An turned his back and smiled playfully, a rare performance in the darkness.

He never seems to be afraid of being exposed, but he is also working hard to maintain his persona.

Without opening the window or changing clothes, he just pulled out a notebook from the loose sleeve of his hospital gown and wrote a line of words carefully.

"Aren't you going to take care of the murders in the hospital?"

"Dear Detective."

After seeing these words, one can clearly see that the young man opposite paused for a moment.

Li An didn't plan to keep pretending. She rolled up her sleeves, avoided places where fingerprints might be, and gently opened the window.

Two birds, one brown and one white, flew into the warehouse one after the other.

The big brown-feathered eagle has a black beak, and the pure white dove has a pair of silver eyes.

……

"Click."

The inspectors had just arrived and met another group of police officers who had arrived earlier. They nodded to each other and then began taking photos of the scene to collect evidence.

Of course, familiar police officers also arrived at the scene.

The three-piece suit for police officers is amazing to everyone who sees it.

Speaking of which, the police officers who arrived at the scene first were obviously not familiar with the procedures, so they just cleared the people away and protected the scene, and asked Conan who discovered the accident for part of the situation. At this time, they were reporting the situation to Officer Megure who had just arrived.

"Is that so, Conan?"

"Yes, when I came in, I saw Uncle Maori collapsed here..." Conan had already told the previous police officer once, but after seeing Officer Megure, he still explained seriously, "Doctor Shirai gave Uncle Maori medicine around 7:20, and I haven't seen him since then."

Officer Megure nodded.

The strange bearded police officer, or rather the leader of those police officers, exchanged a few words with Inspector Megure after seeing him, and then took some people to disperse to different floors.

As he left, a somewhat conspicuous young man who had been following the officer did not catch up. He glanced up at the smaller witness but did not ask him questions right away.

The still confident teenager, as usual, wore a deerstalker hat and well-tailored classic Sherlock Holmes clothing.

He snapped his pocket watch shut, and when the officer finished taking pictures, he squatted down to look at the dead doctor.

Wearing white gloves, he carefully observed the condition and characteristics of the corpse, muttering his findings.

"There is a blunt force trauma to the back of the head. There is a knife wound on the arm, which is not fatal."

"The muscles did not relax, the pupils were transparent, and the cornea was soft. The time of death was no more than one hour,"

Inspector Megure knew the detective, so he did not try to stop him.

Conan noticed him when the strange leading police officer came over, because he was not dressed like a police officer at all.

So Conan looked at this person carefully and came to the same conclusion as him.

"Officer, may I ask if the items you took away for testing have been found to have anything?"

Hearing the question from the strange young man, the slightly older inspector was stunned for a moment, and only after getting a nod from Officer Megure did he say, "We detected a blood reaction on the crutch left at the scene."

"No biological reactions were detected in the two places where he was stabbed in the back."

"Then I was right... I didn't expect to encounter a case."

"It seems that we have to postpone the arrest..."

Who to catch? Conan keenly grasped this information.

Is he also trying to catch that person?

In fact, from the conversation between Inspector Megure and the strange police officer just now, Conan learned the police officer's surname - Nakamori.

"The thief I wanted to catch also broke into the hospital when the crime happened, so the hospital was sealed off in advance."

"Haha, you know, we don't have any clues about this kind of serious case. We can only do what we can."

As he said, he and the police officers he led did not seem to specialize in murder cases.

They seem to be hunting down a thief named "Kid" who steals gems from various locations.

This person should be a famous detective, right? Is he also here for the thief?

In other words, there is not only a murderer in this hospital now...

There's another thief?

"By the way, officer, I want to go around and take a look at the situation first." Before leaving, the boy said to Officer Megure.

……

"What do you think about this matter, Ms. Li An?"

After listening to Conan's words, Li An seemed to be thinking about something, and quickly told a series of familiar fables.

"I think he might want to create the illusion that he is seeing snakes in the cup of bows and snakes, or that he is afraid of enemies everywhere. Of course, it is also possible that he is trying to make up for the loss or the illusion that the wolf is coming."

"But if we turn the fake into the real thing...it will arouse less suspicion, right?"

Conan thought of something: "Ms. Li An, are you saying...?"

"Does Dr. Shirai have a grudge against anyone?" Li An asked.

"…I remember Dr. Eto once said that if he died, it must be…"

"Then you have to keep an eye on Eto."

"Ms. Li An, what about you?"

Li An's eyes widened in shock.

Because she couldn't speak, her expressions seemed more expressive.

At the same time, the accusation in her writing seemed to overflow from the paper: "How can you bear to let a patient worry and work hard?"

"Wait... Sister Li An... I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
