Conan followed closely behind and arrived at Beika Central Hospital, entering Professor Agasa's ward.
Dr. Agasa, dressed in a pink bear-themed sleepwear, was lying on the hospital bed. Kōyū was surprised that Dr. Agasa had such a childlike heart, all dressed in such a cute pink outfit.
Conan said to everyone, "I think the culprit attacked in the order of the playing cards."
Shiratori asked, "Then what is the connection between Professor Agasa and playing cards?"
Conan explained, "Professor Agasa's name is Professor Agasa. The character '士' (shi) can be broken down into '十' (shi) and '一' (yi), which is the Jack in playing cards."
Although Kōsuke knew that Professor Agasa's real name was Professor Agasa, he still felt something was off.
For example, if a person named Matsushita Tanto is a doctor, then we can call him Dr. Matsushita Tanto, and Dr. Agasa should be called Dr. Agasa.
Fortunately, the pronunciation of "Doctor" in Professor Agasa's name is different from the pronunciation of "Doctor" in academic degree, otherwise it would be really a pain in the ass.
These cards were all of the spade suit, which puzzled Xiaolan.
Shiratori explained, "Spades symbolize death, hearts represent love, diamonds represent money, and clubs represent happiness."
Conan then made another surprising deduction: "The culprit is attacking someone connected to my uncle."
Shiratori flipped through the notebook. The only clue they had so far was that car, but the investigation revealed that it was also a stolen vehicle.
At that moment, Inspector Megure pushed open the door and walked in.
"Inspector Megure, why are you here instead of resting your injuries?" Uncle Mori asked with concern.
Inspector Megure chuckled. "I heard that the professor and Eri were also attacked. I'm alright now, so I came to check on them."
“I think the murderer is Murakami Takeshi, who was just released from prison a week ago.”
Inspector Megure gave a brief introduction to Murakami Jo, and Uncle Mori nodded: "If it's Murakami Jo, there is indeed a possibility that he hates me and wants revenge."
"Why?"
Uncle Mori said, "Because I'm the one who arrested him."
"But isn't it normal for the police to arrest criminals?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.
Uncle Mori shook his head: "That's true, but..."
That was the end of the conversation; Uncle Mori didn't explain why.
Shiratori, standing nearby, recalled, "I've heard a bit about that case too. I remember when this man was brought to the police station..."
Upon hearing that Shiratori was about to recount the incident, Inspector Megure sternly stopped him from continuing.
"But why doesn't Murakami Jo come to me directly? If he wants revenge, he should come to me!" Uncle Mori was also very troubled.
Inspector Megure sighed: "Perhaps it's because he wants to torture you as much as possible, and then drive you into a dead end."
"hateful!"
Thirteen, twelve, and eleven—these three numbers on the playing cards have already been attacked, so the next one should be ten.
Therefore, Conan asked, "Uncle, do you know anyone whose name has the number 10 in it?"
Uncle Mori thought for a moment and said, "Miss Towako!"
Kōyū refuted Uncle Mori's idea: "No, the criminal wouldn't attack Aunt Towako."
Kōyū explained, "Aunt Towako is just a nightclub madam; I don't think the perpetrator would go back and attack someone like that."
"Who will the prisoner attack?" Uncle Mori asked.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Kōyū uttered a few words: "Tsuji, Hiro, Itsuki".
Everyone was surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that it was true; the character "Tsuji" in "Tsuji Hiroki" contained the character "ten".
Uncle Mori thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go to Miss Towako's place, and Inspector Megure and you guys go to Hiroki's house."
"If I remember correctly, Hiroki is going to fly a helicopter tomorrow. If I don't manage to catch the prisoner tonight, I'll go to Hiroki's house to meet up with you."
After discussing it, the group went directly to their respective destinations.
Shiratori was responsible for taking Ran and the other two home.
As the car drove along the road, Kōyū suddenly spoke up: "Officer Shiratori, I'll get off here. I have something to do."
Xiaolan asked, "Guangyou, where are you going?"
Guangyou did not answer, only saying that he might be back a little late tonight before leaving.
Guangyou walked along the road to a bar street and went into a bar called Lavender.
The people in the bar seemed to have heard someone come in.
"Has anyone come in? Sorry, we're not open yet!" a young female voice called out.
Long, slender legs emerged from the room, and when the owner of those legs saw Kwangyu sitting on the sofa, she exclaimed with some surprise, "Kwangyu!"
Kwang-woo looked up and smiled: "Sung-mi unnie!"
After helping Asai Narumi deal with those people in the Tsukikage Island incident, Asai Narumi came to Tokyo under Kōyū's arrangement.
Guangyou has always known that his own strength is not enough. In terms of information alone, it is impossible to be very well-informed. Therefore, it is very important to build his own team.
Kōyū first obtained the location of Tokyo's underground black market through Asai Narumi, and thus acquired some equipment.
After this period of development, Asai Narumi also opened a small bar on this bar street as a temporary base and source of funding.
Asai Narumi poured Kōsuke a glass of juice and asked, "Kōsuke, what brings you here today?"
Kwang-woo took a sip of juice: "Sung-mi unnie, is the budget still enough?"
