"If only the head nurse could remember the day the other party asked him this question." Judy sighed.
"The suspect is believed to have been from December 18th to December 21st."
At this moment, Conan, who had been listening to the discussion silently, spoke up and gained everyone's attention:
"December 23rd was the winter break for Teitan High School. I heard from Xiaolan that Yingyou came to the hospital before the break.
This means that Brother Yingyou could only come to the hospital these few days after finishing his exams and before returning to school to check his results.
Plus, those slippers were only sold to men aged 18 and over, so we just need to investigate the men who were admitted to the hospital during that period."
"Yes, that's right!" Although Judy knew that Conan's reasoning was very powerful and he couldn't be treated as an ordinary elementary school student, she was still shocked after listening to his reasoning.
Such clear logic would not have surprised a well-trained adult, but the child in front of them had sorted out the information to this extent before they could react.
No matter how many times, I can't help but be amazed.
"Then without further ado, I will go to the dean and ask him to make a list of the male patients admitted to the hospital in recent days." Upon hearing this, James Blake immediately went to the conversation room to find the dean.
"Besides that, the one that concerns me is the boy named Yingyou." After James Blake left, Judy looked at Akai Shuichi and said, "His whereabouts are unknown now."
"Well...if I were to put myself in the FBI's shoes, it would be a good outcome if he could just disappear like that."
Akai Shuichi's calm tone carried a hint of disdain for trouble: "After all, if you get involved with Noc's son, you might run into more trouble later."
"Noc?" Conan repeated it with some confusion after hearing what Akai Shuichi said, his face full of confusion.
"It's an abbreviation for 'non-official cover,' referring to spies who disguise themselves as ordinary citizens and infiltrate other countries to conduct intelligence gathering."
After explaining, Judy smiled and teased, "It seems that even you, who are knowledgeable, are hearing this for the first time."
"No, I already knew what you were talking about..." Conan said hesitantly, "It's just... I feel like I've heard this word somewhere before..."
"It was in the car, kid~ Your memory is really bad~" Tang Ze smiled and reminded: "While eavesdropping~"
"Ah, I see." After hearing the reminder, Conan immediately understood where this sense of déjà vu came from.
Once, when Rena Mizunashi was carrying out an assassination attempt on a congressman, Conan eavesdropped on their conversation.
During their preparations at the base, Vermouth once knocked on the steering wheel of the motorcycle and asked Rena Mizunashi if this was it.
The English word for knock is “knock,” which is also a code word for “Noc.”
"So Vermouth had some doubts about Rena Mizunashi's identity back then..." Conan pondered, "But the information Judy-sensei provided earlier contradicts our previous judgment..."
"If you're worried about Noc, it's better to give up as soon as possible."
Seeing Conan's pensive expression, Akai Shuichi mistakenly thought he was worried about Hondou Eisuke, and began to give him a warning in advance: "For the boy who knows the boss's email, those guys in the Black Organization have no reason to let him go."
“.......”
Shuichi Akai's cold words plunged the room into silence, but fortunately the depressing atmosphere did not last long. Judy received a call from James, who said that he had obtained the information from the dean and asked them to go to the base for a talk.
Several people went out together. Conan's pace slowed down unconsciously because he was still thinking about what happened when Vermouth tapped the watch dial and doubted Rena Mizunashi's identity.
Just after Tang Ze and the other two entered the house, Conan, who was following closely behind and about to turn and follow them, was suddenly stopped by the old head nurse.
After a conversation, Conan found out that the other party had an impression of Hondou Eisuke and said that he had undergone surgery in the hospital where she used to work.
Conan originally thought that the other party was talking about the car accident that Hondou Eisuke encountered after moving to Osaka, but who knew that the other party was talking about an operation that had taken place in Tokyo, and that the other party's mother was still alive at that time.
Conan immediately thought of the investigation results that Tang Ze told him, and after some questioning, he found that it was true.
Although he already knew the information about the female nurse, after the person involved confirmed the accuracy of the information again, and thinking about the previous contradictions, Conan had a vague answer in his mind.
After all, after eliminating all impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.
After thanking the head nurse, Conan walked towards the room where Tang Ze was previously.
Compared to the empty room he had just found before, this room was obviously much more luxurious. Compared to a ward, it was more like a living room for daily rest.
After Conan arrived, everyone sat down on the sofa. After James received the information, he asked his subordinates to put the photos they had hurriedly taken on the table one by one.
"These are the male patients admitted to Mika Central Hospital between the 18th and 21st," James said with a smile. "We've eliminated those admitted with serious injuries or illnesses who are able to move freely. These are the only three remaining."
