Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

And Kogoro accepted a commission to find a lost pet.

Although his ability in solving cases is average, his ability in catching cheating and finding pet owners' gross profits is absolutely first-rate.

The dog thief who had a fight with Kogoro confessed his crime after being arrested and is still in detention.

After exchanging a few words with the client, Lin Xuan came to the conclusion:

[The abnormalities in the hospital every night have nothing to do with the commission that Maori Kogoro received]

Conan got up and walked to the corridor. Because it was an old building and lacked funds, the inpatient department didn't even have a single camera installed.

He walked along the curved corridor and soon arrived at the door of the ward corresponding to Maori's room in the U-shaped building.

The door was not locked, and Conan entered the room with a light push. There was not even a bed in the vacant ward.

Just last night, Maori once again disturbed the nurse on duty and the local police station, claiming that he had witnessed the murder happening in the ward again and again.

Of course, when everyone arrived, there was nothing in the room, and Kogoro was completely regarded as a retard.

But Conan noticed something unusual. There were obvious water stains on the floor of the room near the window.

[It rained nearby last night, most likely it was rain]

[If the windows are closed, there is no chance of rain coming in]

Conan thought as he tiptoed to open the window.

Maybe it was because he owed Mao Li, or maybe it was because he finally stopped thinking about defeating Lin Xuan.

In short, the moment Conan saw the window glass leaning against the dark wall, he understood the criminal's method.

[Mirror! It’s a mirror! ]

[There is no other light source near the rural hospital. In the dark of night, the black wall and the pushed-out window glass can form a mirror! ]

[That is to say, everything the uncle sees every night does not happen in this ward, but is reflected in this mirror! ]

Conan carefully observed the angle of the "mirror" and then walked along the corridor to the door of another ward in the U-shaped building.

There are too few inpatients and this ward is idle.

[This is the room where the "murder incident" takes place every night]

Conan pushed open the unlocked door again.

In the corner of the room lay a first aid dummy, covered with knife wounds.

[The "victim" who is killed every night is this dummy, but what is the meaning of the criminal doing this? ]

Conan didn't understand, but he was at least relieved when he left.

[Great, the uncle is not crazy]

[If you have the chance, you should get acupuncture as usual in the future]

Conan originally wanted to return to the ward and act cute as usual, guiding Lin Xuan to find the clues he had discovered and reassuring Maori Kogoro.

However, when Conan saw Xiaolan and her senior snuggling together, he changed his mind.

[Humph, Lin Xuan, during the time you were picking up girls, I have already mastered the criminal’s tactics.]

[I will catch him myself tonight and let you know that you are just a second-rate detective! ]

Although the criminal's motive for doing this is unclear, since he has been performing "killing shows" for more than ten days in a row, tonight will surely be no exception.

Conan was ready to show his skills, but the moment he looked at Lin Xuan, he gave the clue to the other party.

That night, the hospital temporarily added two beds to the ward where Lin Xuan and Conan were staying in Maori.

Kogoro Mori has been causing trouble for the hospital these days, and the hospital is reluctant to provide additional help.

Lin Xuan coaxed the head nurse into giving her these two beds by using her beauty.

Around two o'clock in the morning, a quick ring suddenly rang in the room. It turned out that the sound came from the desk lamp on the bedside table.

Conan and Lin Xuan were woken up instantly, and Kogoro woke up slowly after two minutes, by which time the desk lamp had returned to normal.

Conan and Lin Xuan understood it immediately:

[So it’s not that I wake up suddenly, but I’m woken up by the alarm clock at a fixed time every night]

[He woke up about two minutes later than Conan and I. Is it the effect of the drug? ]

These days, Kogoro has developed the habit of looking at the room opposite as soon as he opens his eyes.

Almost at the same time he opened his eyes, the light in the opposite room came on.

A murder is happening!

A figure holding a sharp blade desperately stabbed at another figure again and again!

Maori Kogoro swallowed his saliva, grabbed his cane and shouted to the other two detectives:

"See it! You saw it too!"

"I'm not crazy! Murders happen every night in this hospital!"

Before Lin Xuan could respond, Kogoro rushed out of the ward limping on one leg with the help of a crutch.

Passing by the nurses' station, Maori Kogoro excitedly shouted to the nurse:

"Call the police! Notify the police immediately!"

The nurse on night shift couldn't help but roll her eyes.

[No way, big brother, this is never going to end? ]

Kogoro held the nurse's arm tightly and said:

"It's not just me tonight. There are two other witnesses who also saw the criminal committing the crime. Please call the police immediately!"

The nurse frowned slightly in pain, and she had to say in a perfunctory tone:

"Okay, Mr. Detective, I'll call the police right away."

After hearing this, Kogoro Mouri limped towards the crime room.

The nurse behind him sighed helplessly, but still dialed the familiar number;

"Yes, that detective saw someone murder again, you guys come over and deal with it."

At the same time, Lin Xuan also took action, but the room he was going to was completely opposite to Maori's destination.

Conan followed Lin Xuan desperately to catch up;

[Lin Xuan is running over here. Could it be that he also knows the mechanism of the mirror reflection? ]

[By the way, the uncle’s ward corresponds to that room. Everything I did during the investigation must have been seen by Lin Xuan.]

[Perhaps he deduced the criminal's method from my investigation of the window]

In the previous case, Conan's reasoning was wrong twice, and it was all thanks to Lin Xuan that he was able to find out the truth and arrest the murderer.

So even though he always wanted to defeat the opponent, Conan would not doubt Lin Xuan's reasoning ability.

Lin Xuan quickly rushed to the empty ward and pushed open the door, but the prisoner did not appear.

Not only was there no criminal, but even the scarred dummy found in the afternoon had disappeared.

Conan, who arrived later, was stunned when he saw this scene.

[How could this happen? According to the reflection angle of the mirror, the "murder" happened in this room]

Lin Xuan realized that something was wrong and turned back in the direction he came from.

[The previous murder was just someone practicing stabbing a dummy in an empty room, and the "mirror" reflected the "murder" scene to the room directly opposite Maori's ward]

[But the murder scene tonight was not reflected from an empty room]

[In other words, there is a high possibility that a murder is actually happening in the ward that Maori Kogoro is heading to! ]

Kogoro Mori is good at judo and has subdued many criminals with shoulder throws.

But tonight he was just a patient with a broken leg and a highly nervous state of mind.

At the same time, Kogoro Mori pushed open the door and what came into his sight was a corpse covered in blood.

At this moment, Maori suddenly realized that there was someone hiding behind the door, but before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by a stick from behind.
