Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Shirai pulls out his trump card against the police and detectives:

"I just remembered that I actually asked the nurse in advance to bring me a cup of coffee at two o'clock to wake me up."

Two o'clock was exactly the time when the alarm clock in Maori's ward rang, and a few minutes later a murder took place in the room opposite.

Shirai's office is a certain distance away from the vacant ward where the crime occurred. Even Lin Xuan could not travel back and forth within ten minutes, let alone ordinary people.

But the attending doctor's words only aroused Conan's suspicion of him.

[Unless he can teleport, as long as Dr. Shirai is in the office at two o'clock, the murderer we witnessed cannot be him.]

[The coffee delivery time is exactly the same as the alarm time, it seems like it was designed on purpose]

[And the police initially suspected the uncle because of this doctor’s confusion]

【He is suspicious! 】

But it is useless for Conan to just doubt, because reasoning requires evidence.

The murderer was not afraid of being suspected at all.

[My alibi is impeccable. No one can convict me! ]

A police officer called the nurse who delivered the coffee to the ward to find out what happened.

"Well, the doctor was in the office at two o'clock, and I can prove it."

Shancun Cao nodded and made a judgment:

"If that's the case, then Dr. Shirai doesn't have the time to commit the crime."

Lin Xuan asked the nurse:

"Did you hand the coffee to the doctor yourself?"

The nurse shook her head:

"The doctor was arguing fiercely with someone on the phone on the other side of the glass partition, and I didn't dare to interrupt."

"I put the coffee on the table outside, told you quietly and then left."

Lin Xuan curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

[The office was divided into two areas by opaque glass. The nurse was misled by just seeing a blurry shadow and hearing a voice, and thought that Shirai was on the other side of the partition.]

[The murderer used the nurse to create an alibi in terms of time]

Lin Xuan looked at Bai Jing again and asked:

"Can you tell me who you were arguing with at the time?"

Shirai sighed and said helplessly:

"Maybe one of the patients thought our medical skills were not good enough, or maybe it was just a prank against the hospital."

"In short, I have been receiving strange phone calls recently, as well as calls to other colleagues' office phones. After answering the phone, the other party refused to say a word."

"I was busy working on a journal article last night, and I was harassed again and I couldn't control my emotions and couldn't help but curse a few times."

Shirai bowed and apologized to the nurse:

"I think I scared you. I'm sorry."

The nurse was flattered and said quickly:

"No, no, Dr. Shirai, you are so polite."

She testified again on behalf of Shirai:

"The harassing phone calls have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the hospital. We originally wanted to ask Detective Maori to help with the investigation after his leg had almost healed."

As a result, Mao Li went "crazy" after being hospitalized for a few days. He shouted late every night that he had witnessed a murder, causing even more trouble for the staff.

The long-term harassment phone calls to the hospital were of course directed and acted by Shirai himself. He had been planning for a long time to kill Dr. Oe.

Shancuncao respectfully asked Lin Xuan for instructions:

"Detective, how should we investigate the case next? Please give us your instructions."

The two different faces of the police officer before and after made Kogoro Mouri, who was lying on the hospital bed, feel depressed.

[He almost broke the plaster on my leg, but I wanted to kneel down and lick Lin Xuan]

[This useless police officer! ]

But he also had to admit that Lin Xuan had strong connections.

[Lin Xuan has been recognized by senior police officers before graduating from high school. He must have a bright future.]

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but glance at Xiaolan.

The daughter will eventually leave her father and start a family with another man. Trying to stop her will only harm the child.

Every father hopes that his daughter will marry someone who is capable of providing her happiness, such as Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan identified Dr. Shirai as the murderer earlier than Conan, but he also had no evidence.

But the inner voice of the prisoner will reveal itself.

Lin Xuan suggested to Shancun Cao:

"Since Dr. Shirai has been cleared of suspicion, why not ask him for his opinion?"

Lin Xuan looked at the real murderer again and asked him a series of questions:

"May I ask if the deceased Dr. Oe had any disputes with other people before his death? Do you have any suspects? Is there anyone in this hospital who hates the detective..."

Shirai felt secretly delighted.

[It seems that the high school detective is also an idiot]

[These policemen now listen to Lin Xuan. He wants to protect Maori Kogoro, so I can’t put the blame on Maori.]

[Forget it, as long as I can get away with it, it doesn’t matter if Oe’s death remains an unsolved case.]

Shirai, who thought his technique was flawless, started to set the pace again.

The murderer would never have thought that Lin Xuan would know all the truth about the case during the conversation.

Conan was a little anxious.

[Shirai is still a suspect, how can we let him lead the investigation? 】

He had no choice but to act cute and remind Lin Xuan:

"Oh, is the glass used as a partition in the doctor's office also opaque? I just saw that other doctors' rooms were like this."

"Even if Kamen Rider performs inside, people outside the partition won't be able to recognize the heroes."

Shirai's heart began to beat faster again.

[Little devil! Shut up! ]

But Lin Xuan seemed to be completely unaware of the mystery hidden in this sentence. He said to Conan in a coaxing tone:

"I'm busy investigating a case. We can talk about Kamen Rider later."

Xiaolan also squatted down, touched the elementary school student's head and said:

"Don't disturb Brother Lin Xuan."

Conan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

[My hint was so obvious, but Lin Xuan didn't realize it? ]

[There is no hope for him to solve the case. Only I can find out the truth.]

Conan left the ward where Maori was staying alone in anger.

Bai Jing looked down on Lin Xuan even more, and he completely let down his guard.

[These detectives are not as good as their reputations. I was actually a little scared of this high school student just now.]

【It’s really ridiculous! 】

Shirai began to deceive and incite Lin Xuan to waste time and police resources on a target that would not yield any clues.

Lin Xuan nodded and told Shancuncao beside him to do as the doctor said.

Before leaving, Lin Xuan made a request to Shirai:

"Doctor, Detective Maori was knocked unconscious by the real murderer with a stick. I'm worried that he will have other sequelae."

"I know it's rude to ask this late at night, but as the attending physician, could you please examine Detective Maori right away?"

A warm feeling welled up in Xiaolan's heart.

[Senior cares so much about my dad]

Shirai thought he had fooled the detective, so of course he had to continue to maintain the image of a righteous doctor in front of Lin Xuan:

"Even if you didn't say that, as the attending physician, I would still do a full body checkup on Mr. Maori."

However, when Lin Xuan and a group of police officers left the ward, the attending doctor, who had his back to the Maori father and daughter, showed a naked mockery on his face.

[A genius detective appreciated by the top police officers? That's all! ]
