"Megure Juzo?"
Looking at the sign in front of the ward, Yuan Tai was somewhat puzzled.
As Uncle Mori was about to open the door and go in, he explained, "That's Inspector Megure's name."
"I see!"
Not only were the three members of the Detective Boys learning this for the first time, but even Conan, who had dealt with Inspector Megure for a long time, was learning for the first time that Inspector Megure's name was Megure Juzo.
Inspector Megure, lying in his hospital bed, was somewhat pleased to see Uncle Mori push open the door and enter.
"Inspector Megure, how are you feeling now?" Uncle Mori was very concerned about Inspector Megure, who was also an old acquaintance of his.
Standing to the side, Shiratori said on behalf of Inspector Megure, "This time it's alright, no one was seriously injured, you can rest assured."
Ayumi looked at Inspector Megure lying on the bed still wearing his hat and asked with some confusion, "Inspector Megure, why are you still wearing a hat here?"
When Inspector Megure heard this question, he didn't know how to answer it, so he could only laugh and say, "It's just a preference, a preference."
Regarding Inspector Megure's habit of always wearing his hat, Mitsuyu vaguely remembered that it seemed to be related to Inspector Megure's lover, but he didn't know the specifics.
As Inspector Megure tried to evade the question, the members of the Detective Boys began to let their imaginations run wild.
Genta: "I think there's definitely a shiny bald head under that hat!"
Mitsuhiko: "There might be a big tumor down there!"
The adults ignored the children's discussion. Shiratori took out his ever-present little notebook and said, "The murderer should have used a hand-held crossbow."
"However, whether the killer specifically targeted Inspector Megure or Inspector Megure was just passing by and was attacked, our people have begun a detailed investigation from both of these perspectives."
While not every police officer is armed, Inspector Megure, who specializes in homicide cases in the First Investigative Division, is naturally armed.
Ayumi also expressed her doubts: "Inspector Megure, why did the criminal escape when you have a service weapon?"
Uncle Mori had already briefly learned what had happened: "At that time, Inspector Megure was jogging and wasn't carrying his service weapon."
"Even if I have a gun, it's not certain."
Inspector Megure explained, "My marksmanship isn't very good, especially compared to Mori's. My marksmanship is child's play."
When Ran was very young, Uncle Mori had already resigned from his job as a policeman, so Ran didn't have a deep impression of his work.
Therefore, Ran was also somewhat surprised: "Inspector Megure, are you saying that my dad is a very accurate shot?"
Inspector Megure reminisced about the past: "Yeah, back then your dad was one of the best marksmen among our group!"
Conan was somewhat surprised to hear that Uncle Mori was a good shot. Since meeting Uncle Mori, he had always felt that Uncle Mori was a very ordinary person.
Conan was also surprised to learn that Uncle Mori, besides having demonstrated his impressive judo skills on several occasions, was also a very good marksman.
This also changed Conan's opinion of Uncle Mori somewhat.
When Uncle Mori heard Inspector Megure talk about what happened back then, although he didn't show any expression on his face, there was still pride in his eyes.
Shiratori said to Uncle Mori, "Back then, at the scene, we also found something very strange."
As he spoke, Shiratori took out a bag containing a sword made of corrugated cardboard.
Conan felt that this sword looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Guangyou, standing to the side, pinched his chin, closed his eyes, and sorted through the jumbled memories in his mind.
A few seconds later, Kōyū opened his eyes and said, "This is the sword of the King on the King of cards."
The crowd was puzzled, wondering what connection the sword had with Inspector Megure's attack.
Kōyū explained, "Inspector Megure's full name is Megure Jūzō. In playing cards, the King represents the number thirteen, which means that this attack was definitely premeditated."
After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.
After a brief visit and offering their blessings to Inspector Megure, everyone left the ward.
Just as I stepped out of the ward, Uncle Mori's phone rang.
Uncle Mori answered the phone, and the person on the other end seemed a little anxious.
As soon as Uncle Mori finished hearing the first sentence, he became agitated: "What? Eri has food poisoning?"
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Upon hearing this news, the group of people nearby also hurriedly headed towards Toto University Hospital, where Eri Kisaki was hospitalized.
Everyone waited for news in the hospital corridor. Uncle Mori paced back and forth, his face practically screaming with worry.
Ran frowned, clearly very worried about her mother Eri's well-being.
A doctor walked out of the operating room and said to everyone, "Please rest assured, the patient is fine now. We have cleaned up the patient's stomach."
Uncle Mori bowed very solemnly and said, "Thank you."
Eri Kisaki was wheeled out of the hospital bed by a nurse.
Lying on the bed, Eri Kisaki wasn't wearing her glasses, and her hair was loose. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed after she saw Uncle Mori and his group.
Normally, Eri Kisaki is a high and mighty queen, but now she's like a wounded cat.
Eri looked at Uncle Mori and forced a smile: "What? So you're here too."
Seeing Uncle Mori's worried expression, Eri Kisaki felt her pain lessen considerably.
