Chapter 38

"Letter?" Hearing this, Kogoro Mori tore his gaze away from the wad of money with difficulty, and then found that there was indeed a piece of paper in the envelope.

He pulled out the paper and unfolded it.

Bai Shu leaned over to watch, and saw a few lines written on the plain white paper, "Twenty-five million, 払い未わりました, 引き比えに, いただきに参ります"

"What does this mean?" Mori Kogoro stroked his mustache in confusion. He could understand every word on the paper, but he was at a loss when he put it together, "'After paying 500 million, I Do you want to fetch it?' What are you fetching? Write down the subject, verb and object!"

"...", Ogawa Masayuki murmured in his heart, if I can understand, why come to you with this pile of things?Are you free to go for a walk with weights?

"Uncle, does your son often play with these toys?" Conan also felt that something was wrong. He lay down beside the table, carefully checked each box, and found that there were no barcodes on these boxes, and the damage was serious.

——It doesn't look like a newly bought gift, but rather something that was used by someone a few years ago.

Ogawa Masayuki shook his head, "It's just like this when it was delivered, it's all kind of flawed or damaged things."

"This is very strange, sending so much money every month, it's not like I can't afford new toys." Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and came to a conclusion, "I think this must be a prank!"

Bai Shu sang with him and nodded seriously, "If that's the case, he must be a rich man with a lot of money."

Masayuki Ogawa wiped off his sweat, and was already thinking about changing to another detective agency. Are these people reliable or not?

Conan interjected, "Could it be that someone wants to buy something from this uncle? Is there something worth 500 million in the uncle's house?"

This idea sounds okay, Masayuki Ogawa tried hard to recall for a while, and remembered, "On the wall of my office, there is a painting handed down from my grandfather, the value seems to be about 2000 million..."

Mori Kogoro had a flash of inspiration, and he patted the table, "So that's the case, that person must want to buy that painting, but he's too embarrassed to ask, so he gives gifts every month to please your son, and then you!"

"As expected of Mr. Maori, his reasoning ability is really strong!" Bai Shu praised him very much, "Should we go to the hospital to see the painting first?"

Hearing this sentence, Conan was startled, and looked at Bai Shu suddenly.

...Ogawa Masayuki mentioned that the painting is in his office, but he never said that his workplace is in the hospital!
I know that Masayuki Ogawa is a doctor, because when Masayuki Ogawa pulled him up before, he saw the slanted indentation on the index finger of the other party, and judged that it might be caused by pulling the thread during the operation, and he smelled a little bit of it on his hand. The smell of disinfectant water, combined, came to this conclusion.

... But Bai Shu was never supported by him.

He reasoned it out again?
This is the Nth time that Conan cares about Bai Shu's reasoning ability.

And every time I noticed this, another question couldn't help coming to my mind: So... why did he come to be Uncle Maori's assistant?

Thinking back carefully, the time when Bai Shu lived in the Mori Detective Agency was very close to the time when he moved in.There is also the roller coaster incident, and the night he was drugged by the man in black to make him smaller, the white tree also appeared nearby...

Although the other party doesn't feel like a bad guy, all kinds of slight violations always make Conan faintly uneasy.

He subconsciously probed, "Brother Zhishu is so powerful, how do you know that this uncle is a doctor? He didn't say so, right?"

After Conan mentioned it, Xiaolan also noticed this.Ogawa Masayuki did not object, it seems that Bai Shu's reasoning is correct.

She didn't think as much as Conan, her eyes sparkled, "That's right, Brother Naoki, you reasoned it out!"

"That's not true." Bai Shu smiled, "It's just that I saw it when Mr. Xiao Chuan handed Mr. Mao Li his business card just now."

Conan, "..."

It seems that there is such a thing.

Is it really because my observation skills are not enough? Conan can't help but fall into deep thought

……

Not paying attention to this episode, the group quickly put on their coats and set off to the hospital.

Bai Shu remembered this case. The cause was that Masayuki Ogawa performed an operation on a 5-year-old appendicitis patient three years ago, but because the patient arrived too late, the operation failed and the child died.

The child's father was unwilling to accept the facts, and shifted the responsibility to Ogawa Masayuki, and decided to kill Ogawa Masayuki's son as revenge when his son was 5 years old.

The 500 million is the insurance compensation that the patient received after his son died.

In the end of the case, Conan deduced the truth based on various clues, rushed to the scene, and kicked a football at the very moment, preventing the patient's father from killing him.After that, several people rushed over and talked with him for a long time before they succeeded in talking and reached a settlement.

According to the original trajectory, there was no homicide this time.

...But this does not mean that Bai Shu has nothing to do.

——The people who should have died did not die, and the people who should have lived died were all mistakes in work, and the latter even violated the interests of human beings, and the fines were even more.

In the original world line, the patient's father swung the knife very decisively. If Conan's kick was a few seconds late, Ogawa Masayuki would have no son.

But the butterfly effect is mysterious and unpredictable. If Bai Shu lifted the wrong foot when he went out, or stretched himself while drinking water, and Ogawa Masayuki's son was killed, it would definitely be blamed on him.

As a somewhat responsible Grim Reaper, he decided to find Ogawa Masayuki's son in advance and observe secretly to ensure that even if something went wrong with Conan, Ogawa Masayuki's son would not die.

The reason why Baishu proposed to come to the hospital was because the kindergarten where Yuta Ogawa was located was near the hospital, and he was picked up by the patient's father when the kindergarten was out of school and taken to a nearby park.

Kindergarten will not be too dense, if you want to know where Yuta Ogawa is, after you get to the hospital, it will be ok to look around.

Plan pass.

When they arrived at the hospital, Mori Kogoro walked in full of energy, but Bai Shu did not go with them on the pretext of going to a convenience store to buy drinks.

He turned into the convenience store, picked up a magazine, and picked out some snacks and drinks to take to the checkout. By the way, he asked the clerk how to get to the nearby kindergarten.

The cashier enthusiastically described the route, and drew a sketch for him in case he would not understand.

Bai Shu quickly found the place: in the lovely fence painted blue, a group of children were playing around under the supervision of the teacher, and there were lovely laughter from time to time.

Bai Shu looked at these energetic little ones from a distance, especially the little loli who looked like glutinous rice balls, and couldn't help feeling, "Human cubs are so cute."
