"Well!"
Opening his eyes suddenly, Conan sat up from the bed.
The pale room, the smell of disinfectant, and the hospital gown on his body. He was... in the hospital?
Sitting blankly on the hospital bed, Conan fell into an unconscious confusion.
strangeness? What is he doing? Why is he in the hospital?
Subconsciously raising his hand to touch the still painful back of his head, Conan tried hard to recall the memories before his coma.
He remembered that he seemed to have gone to a party with Xiaolan and the others... was it a party of Ed Company?
Then he solved another murder case there. I remember he also met Belmode, the second Miyano Shiho, oh yes, and the bumbling Kid...
Kidd?
correct! Kidd!
The fragmented memories were connected at this moment, and Conan finally remembered what happened before he fell into coma.
Under the East Tower of the Ed Twin Towers at that time, he discovered a mysterious person. After following this mysterious person to the president's office on the fifty-third floor, he was accidentally attacked from behind by this person. Knocked out!
Then, when that person wanted to kill him, it seemed that Kidd saved him...
etc……
Conan held his aching head and tried to recall the scene with a look of pain on his face.
He remembered that before he was knocked unconscious, he seemed to have seen something... What was it?
Damn it, I can’t remember, my head suddenly hurts...
"Click."
The door to the ward was suddenly opened, and as soon as Karasumaying came in, she saw Conan holding his head on the bed with a painful look on his face.
"Conan? Are you awake?"
"Xiaoying...sister?" Conan was startled, but he was relieved when he found out that the person coming was Karasuma Ying.
"What's wrong? Is your head still hurting? Do you want me to call the nurse for you?" Karasuma Ying asked with concern as she poured a glass of warm water for him from the thermos cup.
"Thanks."
Taking the cup, Conan shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the pain lingering in his mind.
"No need, I feel there is nothing wrong with my body..."
"Well, I'll go for a check-up later. If there's really nothing wrong, I'll go through the discharge procedures today."
"Um... By the way, where are Sister Xiaolan and the others?"
"Class is normal today. I asked for leave. Xiaolan is still at school and Mr. Maoli is at the office."
With that said, Karasumaying sat on the chair next to the hospital bed, opened the notebook she had placed on the table, her face gradually became serious.
In this notebook, the names of Ichiro Owada, Tetsu Sugiki, Kimiko Arai and Shoko Kawai are written in large letters.
Same murder, same murder, but different from the ones she had dealt with before.
The two recent cases obviously happened at different times and places, but they made her feel a vague connection.
The most important of them are the murderers of these two cases, Shang Qizhe and Kawai Suiko. According to the descriptions of these two people after their arrest, there seems to be a mysterious person behind their crimes.
Karasuma Ying was keenly aware that there might be a big secret behind this.
It's just that she couldn't figure out what kind of secret could connect these two deceased people whose identities and status were completely mismatched?
She didn't understand Owada Ichiro.
As for Kimiko Arai, during the subsequent police investigation, it was discovered that this person was conducting "illegal lending" in private, even on a large scale, and her colleague, Ms. Edano, a fortune teller, was also one of them.
But other than that, there are no other problems with her, and there is no intersection between her and Yamada Ichiro.
As for her two daughters, whom she once regarded as cash cows, the police have also identified them in subsequent investigations.
Kawai Souko is indeed Kimiko Arai's biological daughter, and her description of her mother after her arrest is basically true.
Kimiko Arai did abandon her young daughter in the country a long time ago and came to live in a big city alone.
And the youngest daughter Noriko Kawai did indeed die in an accident twelve years ago, as Kawai Souko said.
The eldest daughter had no savings, and the younger daughter died early.
From any point of view, these sisters do not meet the standards of Kimiko Arai's "money tree".
So for what reason does she regard her daughter as a cash cow?
Could it be that the investigation she entrusted, Mr. Naruzawa, was wrong?
No, this shouldn't be possible...
Karasumaying shook her head, and Conan next to her looked at her curiously.
There must be some secret hidden in Kimiko Arai, and this secret was the main factor that led to her eventual murder.
"Kawai Zhuangzi..."
Conan leaned over curiously and looked at the name Karasumaying wrote on the notebook. Something suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Strange, Kawai Zhuangzi, Kawai...it seems to be, Kawai?"
He raised his hands to cover his head again, with a look of pain on his face.
"What's wrong? Conan? Does your head still hurt?" Karasumaying put down her notebook and stood up quickly.
"Kawai Shouchi? No, I remember... Noriko! Yes! Kawai Noriko!"
Looking up suddenly, Conan shouted loudly.
He finally remembered the document he saw before being knocked unconscious by the mysterious man!
"I remembered! The document I saw in the president's office was a person's file! The owner of the file is named Kawai Noriko!"
"...What?" After hearing what he said, Karasumaying couldn't understand it for a moment.
The file of Noriko Kawai, a long-dead female high school student, actually appeared in the office of the president of Ed Company?
Conan covered his head and quickly recalled in his mind what he had seen at a glance.
"Noriko Kawai, seventeen years old, a high school student, from a poor family, died in an accident twelve years ago...
I remember, I remember that there seemed to be a photo of Mrs. Mitong on that document. "
"Mrs. Santong?"
On Kawai Noriko’s file, there is a photo of Yamada Mityu?
In an instant, Karasumaying suddenly connected this series of events together in a very incredible way.
【Are you kidding...】
Thinking of the possibility that even she thought was absurd, Karasuma Ying looked solemn. She quickly took out her mobile phone and immediately dialed Miwako Sato's number.
"What's wrong? Xiaoying? Did you encounter another case?" After the call was connected, Miwako Sato teased her with a smile.
The voice on her end was a little noisy, and it sounded like she was in the police department.
"Officer Sato, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Karasuma Ying said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Listening to her serious tone, Miwako Sato also stopped smiling.
"Can you arrange for me to meet with the prisoner Kawai Suiko who was in the fortune-telling hall yesterday?"
