Chapter 1546 Sudden murder
  After leaving the ward, they saw Mouri Kogoro squatting on the ground collecting things thrown away by Fei Yingli, and he kept complaining.

"Really, thanks to me running to the hospital in a panic after hearing that she was hospitalized, she actually lost her temper with me."

Mouri Kogoro put the discarded things in front of the door, then shouted into the ward, asking Xiaolan to get it later, and then stood up and patted the dust on his hands.

"Of course you'll be angry."

Tangze on the side couldn't help but complained: "It's okay if you don't apologize, but you still make wisecracks to try to get through.

Then when I heard what the concubine lawyer Yin Yang said, I still didn’t realize it and thought it was a compliment. How could I not be angry? "

"Eh? Is that so?" Mouri Kogoro said in shock when he heard Karasawa's words.

‘This uncle is hopeless. ’

Neither Tang Ze nor Conan spoke, but secretly complained in their hearts.

When Mouri Kogoro saw the expressions of the two of them, he scratched his head in embarrassment, obviously realizing how much hatred his actions just caused.

"Ah? Isn't this Teacher Maori?"

Just when the three of them were silent, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded from behind Moori Kogoro.

The three of them turned to look, only to find that the person behind them was Toru Amuro.

‘Bourbon? ’

Conan was shocked at first when he saw Amuro Tohru, and then realized that the other party was an ally who had hidden his identity. He was relieved and began to speculate whether the other party coming to this hospital might be because the organization sent him to investigate the death of Kusuda Rikudo.

He turned his eyes to look at Karasawa, only to find that the other party had no intention of looking at him at all. He was chatting with Mouri Kogoro and Toru Amuro, explaining why the two of them were here.

And he immediately calmed down, and after sorting out his mood, he no longer intended to communicate with Tang Ze secretly, such as making eye contact, to avoid the other party finding out the clues.

"So that's it." Toru Amuro said suddenly after hearing the two people's explanations: "Anyway, it's great that everyone is okay."

"Speaking of which, why are you also in the hospital?" Mouri Kogoro asked curiously.

"Me?" Toru Amuro smiled and said, "I heard that someone I knew was hospitalized, so I came here to visit him.

But it seems that he was discharged from the hospital early without knowing when. "

Speaking of this, Amuro smiled and looked at Conan: "By the way, I heard from the nurses that Conan had been to this hospital before.

I wonder if you know him? "

"Eh?" Conan pretended to be confused when he heard this, but his vigilance was already at its highest.

Although they learned from Tang Ze that the other party was a teammate, this teammate was not 100% on their side.

It is okay to cooperate when they are sure, but they must also remain vigilant and not let him test out the clues that will eventually lead to refusal to cooperate or killing each other.

In Karasawa's words, Toru Amuro is currently a double-edged sword, and after the cooperation is over, he has to resist the other party's temptations.

So you still have to tell lies when you should.

"It's a man named Kusuda Rikudo. Do you know him?" Toru Amuro asked, staring at Conan's face.

"Who is that? I don't know." Conan replied with a blank expression on his face after hearing this, and his expression did not change at all.

Obviously, after seeing that the other party was wary and judging Toru Amuro's actions, he quickly prepared himself mentally and performed his acting skills smoothly.

"To be honest, I lent money to that man, but now he can't find anyone." Toru Amuro asked with a smile: "You really don't know?"

"Yes." Conan nodded without changing his expression.

But I never thought that after seeing Conan's expression, Amuro Toru's lips turned up slightly with a smile: "You are really amazing."

After saying this, Toru Amuro straightened up and ended the conversation with Conan, without any intention of explaining.

Just when Conan was secretly reflecting on what went wrong with his actions, Toru Amuro seemed to have read through Conan's thoughts.

He looked at the two ladies walking towards them and asked, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but do you know about a hospital patient named Kusuda Rikudichi?"

"Kusuda Rikudo?" The woman in the yellow coat repeated her name, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know who he is. How old is he?"

"If you have a picture of that person, we might be able to remember something." The fat woman in a red coat replied.

"If you don't have the photo, then it won't be a problem." Toru Amuro thanked them and said goodbye to the two of them.

"What about the teacher and Karaze Criminal?"

After watching the two people leave, Toru Amuro turned to look at them with a smile and asked, "What would be your reaction if someone suddenly said a name to you and asked you if you knew it?"

"You ask me?" Mouri Kogoro heard this and replied: "Probably just like those aunts just now."

"I have a 'memory palace', and I can instantly determine if I am an acquaintance." Tangze said, "I have an impression of the person you just mentioned. He seems to have disappeared. The police have not found his whereabouts."

"It seems like the money will never come back since it disappeared."

After hearing the news about Kusuda Rikudō from Karasawa, Toru Amuro did not continue to ask for details. Instead, he praised Karasawa in a ulterior manner: "As expected of the famous Karasawa criminal, he even has the ability in this kind of novel.

However, most people are not 100% confident in their memory, so usually they would want to ask the person asking for more information before saying they don't know him. "

Having said this, Toru Amuro looked down at Conan and said with a smile: "That's why I said you are so awesome, Conan, you have already reached the same level as Master at such a young age.

Just by hearing that name, you know it's someone you don't recognize. "

And after hearing Toru Amuro's words, Conan couldn't help but groan secretly.

Karasawa Criminal Police had obviously thrown out the information about Kusuda Rikudō to divert his attention, but Toru Amuro didn't expect to be fooled at all, and his attention was still on himself who had exposed his flaws.

"Hmph, don't take those little devil's words seriously."

Mouri Kogoro on the side snorted and said disdainfully: "Whether you have seen him or not, there are many guys who don't know their names.

Some people even only know their nicknames, but they don’t know who they are when they mention their names. "

Conan on the side heard Mouri Kogoro helping him to rescue him, and he was relieved. At the same time, he already understood in his heart that Amuro Toru just lost.

Toru Amuro used his actions to prove what ordinary people's reaction was. Compared with his calm and confident answer just now, it revealed flaws.

"zero!"

At this moment, the little boy at the elevator entrance next to everyone suddenly shouted, causing Amuro Toru's body to tremble.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the boy who was excitedly waiting for the elevator to come down, and the shock on his face slowly calmed down.

Looking at the other party's reaction, Karasawa raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Toru Amuro and asked, "What's wrong with you? Your reaction just now seemed a bit big?"

"Ah, no."

Toru Amuro watched the mother and son enter the elevator, smiled and turned to look at Karasawa and explained: "It's mainly because my nickname is also "Zero", so the countdown of the child waiting for the elevator just now made me think he was calling me. "Eh? Why is your nickname "Zero"?" Mouri Kogoro was surprised when he heard this: "I remember your name should be "Toru", right?"

"Because the "transparent" in "transparent" means there is nothing." Amuro Toru explained with a smile: "That's why you call me "Zero". Anyway, it was a nickname given to me in childhood, and there is no basis for it. La."

After the explanation, everyone stopped standing in the corridor and prepared to leave. However, before they had even taken two steps, a shrill scream rang out, causing everyone in the corridor to look back.

Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Ze and others immediately ran in the direction of the screams, and finally stopped in front of a ward.

"The scream just now came from here, right?" Standing in front of the door, Mouri Kogoro asked uncertainly.

"Excuse me, what happened inside?"

Toru Amuro knocked on the door and asked, but no one responded. Karasawa said "Sorry" and opened the door.

The scene that came into view was that three women were gathering next to a blue woman lying on the floor, constantly shouting "Ling Cai".

Tang Ze stepped forward to check the situation, but found that the other party was completely not breathing.

Obviously, even if the deceased was in the extremely favorable environment of the hospital, there was no possibility of saving him.

"Call the police." Tang Ze stood up and said, "This lady is not breathing."

"How could it be!" The three women were shocked when they heard this, and Toru Amuro looked at the three people standing over there and was stunned for a moment: "Ah, what a coincidence, these are the two people I just asked."

"Ah, it's you." Beppu Huayue looked at Tohru Amuro and recognized him. Then he looked at Karasawa who was inspecting the body and couldn't help but said: "Don't move."

"Don't worry, the two people next to me are the famous Mouri Kogoro, and the one who examined the body is Mr. Karasawa, the "famous criminal" of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Both of them are professionals, please rest assured."

Hearing Toru Amuro's words, the three people present were shocked, and the expressions on their faces were also of the same frequency.

This made Karasawa, who turned his head specifically when he heard Toru Amuro's words, sigh.

These suspects are like this every time before a crime occurs. Regardless of whether he did it or not, they act as modestly as if they were criminals. They react the same way when they hear their names, making it impossible for them to tell who the suspect is.

Regarding this result, Tang Ze only complained a little in his heart, and soon stopped paying attention.

"The deceased died of suffocation caused by cyanide, so this is most likely a homicide."

There was nothing surprising about the calmness on Tangze's face when he mentioned the poison. After all, it would not be surprising if the poison was caused by cyanide, but it would be surprising if it was not cyanide.

"poison?"

After hearing what Tang Ze said, the three women looked at each other in disbelief.

"How could it be poisonous?" the fat woman asked in disbelief.

"I saw that the broken cup seemed to be tea?"

Tang Ze looked at the bright red tea and asked: "In short, the deceased died of poisoning, this matter is already certain.

Next, please introduce yourselves and describe to us what you did before the deceased was poisoned and died.

Might as well let us know why you are drinking tea in the hospital. "

The three of them nodded upon hearing this, and first introduced their identities.

The first was the two people they met in the corridor. The one in yellow clothes and glasses was a thin woman named Beppu Kagetsu, and the fat woman in red clothes was Happo Tokieda.

As for the one in the middle wearing a hospital gown, it was Juri Takaba, the person they were visiting today, and the one lying dead on the ground was named Suto Reina.

"I already know your identities, so now please tell me what you have done before this."

"do what."

Beppu Huayue looked at his companions and said immediately: "Didn't we meet in the corridor before? Then we came to the ward and mentioned the person you mentioned."

"Are you talking about Kusuda Rikudo?" Takaba Juri was surprised when he heard his companion's words.

"Yes, someone just asked us in the corridor if we knew each other." Beppu Huayue said.

"I don't recognize that name either." Juri Gaoba said with a smile: "After all, I live in a single room and don't have that much time to chat with patients."

"Don't talk about that." Beppu Huayue said with a smile: "Anyway, it's really great. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, right?"

"Since you are going to be discharged from the hospital, you should tell me earlier." Happata Tokieda, who was inserting flowers into a vase on the other side of the bedside table, said bluntly: "Then there is no need for me to come to visit the patient again."

Takaba Juri just smiled at this, and at this time Suto Reina also walked in carrying a kettle. After seeing the two of them, he smiled and said: "You two are here too, then I will hold a tea party." Well, I happened to go to the nurse's station to ask for hot water."

"Great. If that's the case, I'd like you to go get three cups from the shelf over there." Takaba Juri pointed to the cabinet next to her.

"Is three enough?" Beppu Huayue asked.

"That's enough, I have one here that I'm using." Takaba Juri explained with a smile.

"But are they really usable? Are these new cups?" Beppu Huayue couldn't help but ask after opening the window.

"It doesn't matter. I use baking soda to wash away the tea stains after every use, so it looks like new." Juri Takaba replied with a smile.

"You are really a meticulous person." Beppu Huayue said after hearing this.

"In addition, I also bought lemons." Reina Suto said with a smile, holding up the lemon in her hand.

"You are still the same as before, you like to squeeze a little lemon when drinking tea." Kagetuki Beppu said with a smile.

"As for the tea bag, can I just use the one I bought for visiting the doctor today?" Happo Tokieda pointed to the tea bag he put there.

"Okay, I bought a lot of tea leaves, so you can choose whatever you want." Juri Takaba said with a smile.

"That's good." Beppu Huayue said with a smile: "Let's treat this as a tea party to celebrate discharge from the hospital in advance."

After a few people made tea, they started chatting. The four of them began to discuss the group photo of the four of them in junior high school.

There are also some gossips in the middle, such as who liked whom in junior high school, and who the other person fell in love with.

"But Lingcai is really a lucky girl." Juri Gaoba said with a smile.

"That's not the case." Xudong Lingcai waved her hand and said: "Actually, I almost suffered heavy losses because of stocks before.

My husband is the same, but he is just a nouveau riche, and my son thought he had a cold when he took the college entrance examination, but it turned out to be the flu.

If it had been discovered earlier, there would have been no way to take the exam.

Life is like walking a tightrope, if you take one wrong step, you will fall to the bottom. "

Speaking of this, Sudong Lingcai took a sip of tea, and then fell down due to poisoning.
