Chapter 802 Helicopter
"No, the criminal chose his target based not on 'Jack' but on 'Eleven'!" Conan suddenly realized: "Dr. Agasa's 'Shi' is composed of 'Ten' and 'One'."
"Ah, the criminal attacked Inspector Megure because the inspector's name was Megure Jusan!" Kogoro Mouri drew inferences from one example.
Martin looked at Hibiki Eri who was sitting on the bed and drinking porridge: "Then how are Auntie and Twelve connected?"
Conan glanced at Xiaolan, who was clutching her skirt, and said, "It should still be the relationship between 'Princess' and 'Queen', right? After all, the criminal's main purpose is to avenge his uncle. Given the relationship between aunt and uncle..."
"Damn it!" Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and said, "Murakami Jō, that bastard, if you want to take revenge on me, just come after me. Why did you attack my family..."
On the bed, Kisaki Eri put down her bowl and spoon and suddenly asked, "Murakami-jo... is he the prisoner from that year?"
"Yes." Maori Kogoro agreed dejectedly: "You still remember it, I didn't remember it when Inspector Megure mentioned this name before."
"How could I forget..." Fei Yingli lowered her eyes but said nothing more.
The other three people in the room looked at Kogoro Mori on the left and Eri Kisaki on the right, and they all realized that there was too much information in these words.
However, the two did not continue on this topic, and the ward fell silent for a minute.
Martin broke the silence: "It seems there is a story here, Xiaolan, do you know anything?"
Xiaolan shook her head, but there was some curiosity in her eyes, and then she looked at Conan. Since it was related to the case ten years ago, Shinichi might remember something.
However, Conan didn't know either, and looked at Martin with a dead fish eye: Don't you know the script?
It's so boring to read the script every time. Martin shrugged. He remembered that the criminal was not Murakami Jō at all. He was a man who had no grudge against Maori Kogoro. He pretended to target Maori Kogoro in order to cover up his real target.
As for what kind of grudge there was between Murakami Takeshi and Mori Kogoro, Martin naturally didn't remember such details.
Martin held his chin with his hand and began to analyze: "There are two doubts: First, if the conflict between the prisoner and my uncle was just because he was arrested by my uncle, why is there such a deep hatred, as if he wanted to punish my uncle and his entire family, and attack the people around my uncle?"
Maybe the conflict is not as simple as being arrested.
"Then, how did the prisoner know what kind of chocolate Auntie liked best?" Martin, who was the same color as chocolate today, thought carefully and then smacked his lips: "There is a story, there is a story, but I don't know how many people's story it is."
"Go away!" Maori Kogoro said impatiently, "This is none of your business, don't make trouble here."
"Humph." Fei Yingli suddenly snorted, "What a useless man."
"Gah?" Maori Kogoro made a sound like a duck being strangled by the neck and stood up from his chair: "You, what did you say?"
"You only know how to cause trouble for me, and then sit here helplessly and furiously, instead of catching the criminal. Isn't that useless?" Hibiki Eri said coldly: "This is a hospital, and your yelling disturbs my rest."
"If Xiaolan wasn't worried about you, do you think I would be happy to come here?" Maori Kogoro said angrily, waving his hand: "I'm leaving!"
It was obvious that Kisaki Eri was deliberately stirring up Maori Kogoro's fighting spirit, and Maori Kogoro should have seen it and regrouped to attack. Neither of these arrogant couples could offer gentle comfort or encouragement, but they had their own encrypted channel.
However, when Maori Kogoro opened the door, he found Inspector Megure standing outside the door, already wearing a yellow coat, with Takagi and Shiratori guarding him from both sides. "Inspector, you're out of the hospital? But what about your injury?"
"I can't lie down anymore. As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, I'll be fine." Inspector Megure said casually, "I thought I'd come to see Eri before I leave."
Inspector Megure came in and chatted, and then Kogoro Mouri quickly talked about the attack on Dr. Agasa, and the piece of cardboard that Martin brought was also put into the evidence bag.
"So, the criminal is intentionally attacking the poker faces in order from largest to smallest." Inspector Megure thought. Although no one has died so far, the criminal himself has killed people: "Anyone around Maori who has something to do with numbers will be attacked by the criminal."
"Then I am 'Five' myself." Kogoro Mouri looked up at the ceiling and thought.
Martin twisted his mouth and said, "Then I am number four. It will be my turn after Uncle Kogoro is killed? Maybe the criminal will feel relieved after killing Uncle Kogoro and won't attack me anymore?"
By the way, Martin seems to have rarely seen the characters Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding in Japan, but Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao are very common. I wonder if the Japanese know the Heavenly Stems.
"Hmph, it would be great if that guy was willing to change the order." Kogoro Mouri said angrily.
"If I transfer over... I'll have to start from the beginning." Martin glanced at the nervous detective, then thought for a moment and said, "I know a man named Ma Jia, who I can lend to you as your godfather. Then you can kill the criminals at will."
"Vest...could he be your relative?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Martin suspiciously.
Prisoner Martin shook his head like a rattle: "I'm not familiar with him."
"I haven't asked yet." Inspector Megure looked at the tall African-American man who looked very out of place here: "Who is this gentleman...?"
"Hi, I'm Martin."
Takagi, who was behind Inspector Megure, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out to be Martin. I was so scared that I thought it was the police chief.
Inspector Megure suddenly had an indescribable expression: "It's Martin again... That's right! Brother Mori, you know too many people named Martin, right? If that happens, how can we determine the criminal's target!"
Kogoro Mouri glanced at Martin with dead eyes, but the boy looked as if he was not afraid of boiling water and didn't care at all.
"What does it have to do with me?" Maori Kogoro said directly: "I will be dead by then, why would you care so much?"
Although the three people who were attacked have not been attacked again, Maori Kogoro is definitely Murakami Takeshi's primary target, and he will definitely be attacked again even if he survives the disaster.
"Instead of thinking so far ahead, it's better to think about the criminal's next target." Inspector Megure also sighed: "Brother Maori, is there anyone you know who has the number 'ten' in his name?"
"Ten...ten...Ah! Miss Tougako!" Kogoro Mori suddenly remembered someone and exclaimed loudly.
Inspector Megure: "Who is this Miss Tougako?"
Martin pinched his chin and analyzed: "From her expression, she must be a beautiful woman with whom I have an ambiguous relationship, such as a nightclub mama-san... Yeah, it really is."
Conan looked sideways: "Can you tell from the expression?" Didn't you say you can only see emotions? And you said you can't read minds.
Martin pointed inside the room and said, "Look at Xiaolan's expression."
Conan turned around and saw that Kisaki Eri was hanging her head, her whole face was shrouded in shadow, and Ran, who was standing next to her, had two red spots on her dark face. A big "danger" was drawn on the top of Maori Kogoro's head. Ran's hand fell on Maori Kogoro's shoulder: "Dad, do you want to think about it again? There should be other people whose names have "ten" in them, right?"
"Think of names that can be split into a ten." Martin was on the side, not knowing whether to make trouble or give advice: "For example, the prisoner goes back to attack the doctor again, or there are names with the character '叶', '古', '干', '土', '王', '田'... Hiss, there seem to be quite a few Chinese characters that can be split into a ten."
"So, Chiba-kun can make two tens." Officer Shiratori analyzed: "It is necessary to remind him."
Kogoro Mouri opened his cell phone address book and, at Martin's reminder, selected the people who could make a cross with a pale face, and the police called them one by one to remind them to be careful.
As for people like 'Shihezi' who directly have the number 'ten' in their name, police officers must be sent to protect them.
Martin scratched his head and muttered, "Why don't we get Muzan Kibutsuji here so you two can become sworn brothers."
"By the way, doesn't uncle know a man named Juhongshu?" Conan reminded while playing dumb: "He's that great golf player."
"Golf player? Hiroki?" Maori Kogoro quickly realized, "Stupid, my name is Hiroki Tsuji! But... the character 'Tsuji' does also include the character 'ten'."
Tsuji is a Japanese kanji meaning crossroads.
The relationship between Hiroki Tsuji and Maori Kogoro was not that familiar. They were both famous detectives, so they met once and got a signed photo of each other. However, Maori Kogoro put this signed photo in his bedroom, and Conan, who slept on the floor in Maori Kogoro's room, had some impression of this photo.
Kogoro Mouri did not have Hiroki Tsuji's phone number, but the police found his home number.
However, when the police called, his family answered the phone and said that Hiroki Tsuji had gone out half an hour ago. By the way, when the police reminded them to be careful, his family told them a strange story. Just when Hiroki Tsuji was about to go out, a stone was suddenly thrown into their house from outside and broke their window.
Like Dr. Agasa, the people of the Tsuji family also treated it as a child playing tricks, but Hiroki Tsuji did not take it seriously and did not go out to check. After making some preparations, he drove out directly.
This sounds like the same method used by the criminal that Martin and Dr. Agasa encountered, breaking the window with a stone to lure the victim out, except that Hiroki Tsuji has a good temper and doesn't plan to go out and preach like the doctor did.
This alerted the police, who immediately asked about Hiroki Tsuji's whereabouts and first sent a team of police officers to intercept Hiroki Tsuji. Then Inspector Megure led his men to look for him in a hurry.
Kogoro Mouri, who is at the core of the incident, naturally goes along, followed by Martin who comes to watch the fun, Ran who is worried about Kogoro Mouri, and Conan who is actually responsible for solving the incident.
On the way, Martin once again made a frivolous suggestion to Maori Kogoro: "If the criminal fails to attack that person, he might switch targets. Why don't we give up the target with the cross first? The next one will be the one with the number nine, which should be hard to find."
The police car was a bit crowded for Prison Officer Martin's tall stature, so he had to keep his head down.
"Shut up! How can you give up!" Kogoro Mouri said angrily in the passenger seat of the police car.
"Martin, have you discovered something?" Mao Lilan asked quietly, "You have been referring to the criminal as a pronoun. Do you think the criminal is not Murakami Jō?"
"Don't think too much about it." Martin waved his hand: "I just think the name 'Village Fight' is hard to remember."
"..." Conan was sandwiched between Martin and Xiaolan, deep in thought.
Although the two doubts that Martin analyzed before were just for gossip, Conan did find an important question after listening to it: how did the criminal know that Kisaki Eri liked Chicoba chocolate? If the criminal was Murakami Jō, how did he get this information when he was just released from prison?
"By the way, where is Hiroki Tsuji going?" asked Kogoro Mori casually.
Takagi, who was driving, answered honestly, "We are going to the heliport. Mr. Hiroki Tsuji plans to fly a helicopter to Hokkaido today to participate in the golf tournament tomorrow."
Helicopter...Martin in the back seat had a complicated expression.
……
Heliport.
Standing in front of the helicopter, Hiroki Tsuji had already heard the story of the police who had stopped him from boarding the plane: "In other words, Mr. Maori's enemies may have wanted to kill me because of my relationship with him, right?"
There was no worry on Hiroki Tsuji's face, but the expression he gave Mori Kogoro was a little subtle - how come I didn't know we had such a good relationship? I didn't recognize you when I saw you just now, I was just busy looking at Lao Da beside you.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. But the guy who threw rocks at your house this morning was most likely Murakami Jō." Maori Kogoro said, "I think you should cancel your flight plan and hide at home or in the Metropolitan Police Department for a few days."
"That won't do. Tomorrow is a very important event." Tsuji Hiroki didn't take the warnings of the police and Maori Kogoro seriously. "Besides, how can the criminal kill me from high in the sky after the plane takes off? If you are worried, please ask Mr. Maori to take my plane with this police officer."
Hiroki Tsuji planned to fly the plane himself, and he would fly solo, and there were plenty of empty seats on the plane.
"Mr. Tsuji. May I ask when did you apply for your flight route?" asked Inspector Megure.
"About ten days ago, what happened?"
"That is to say, the criminal had a chance to find out your flight plan in advance." Inspector Megure analyzed seriously: "Shiratori, take your men and drive over there now, and be on the lookout for Murakamijo at the airport over there."
Inspector Megure was afraid that Murakami was ambushing Hiroki Tsuji at the airport over there.
"Then, brother Mori, let's go to the plane." As he said that, Inspector Megure reached out his hand, but he didn't get his arm around the shoulder next to him. When he turned his head, he only saw Xiaolan.
Xiaolan realized it belatedly and looked around only to find that there was no one around her.
Looking further into the distance, I discovered that Martin the Great and Kogoro Mori were walking side by side, tiptoeing and trying to leave secretly.
"Don't be ridiculous, Maori brother, how can you stay out of this matter?"
"That's right, Dad! Go on up!" Even Xiaolan was helping to push Kogoro Mouri onto the plane.
Because he was running away side by side with Kogoro Mouri, or maybe Xiaolan wanted to increase insurance, anyway, even the big Martin was pushed up by Xiaolan. Even though Martin was two meters tall today and had no disadvantages in body collisions on the court, he had no room to resist under Xiaolan and was pushed onto the plane.
"Oh man, that's not funny..."
