Chapter 273 - Chapter 272 The Fourteenth Target part 10

 The door of the ward was opened, and Juzo Megure walked in.

 Ninzaburo Shiratori saw this and said, "Inspector, why are you here? "

 Juzo Megure said: "I heard that Dr. Agasa was also attacked, so I came to see."

 Mouri Kogoro pointed at Juzo Megure's wound and said: "But your wound hasn't healed yet."

 "The wound has been sewn up, it's okay."

 Juzo Megure showed the sewn wound, and then asked: "How is it, have you found out what happened?"

 "Inspector, it's like this."

 Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately told Kisaki Eri's reasoning, and said the possibility that the person the murderer wanted to attack was related to Mouri Kogoro.

 After listening, Juzo Megure said: "I see, if that's the case, I think I know who the suspect is, and that person should be Jo Murakami."

 "Jo Murakami?" "Is it him?"

 Mouri Kogoro and Kisaki Eri both spoke, and it was obvious that they were both familiar with Jo Murakami mentioned by Juzo Megure.

 Mouri Ran saw this and asked: "Mom, do you know this person too? "

 Kisaki Eri nodded and said, "Jo Murakami was originally a banker who specialized in card games. Ten years ago, he was arrested by your father for killing someone."

 As she spoke, Kisaki Eri said to herself, "Now that I think of it, I remember that Jo Murakami was sentenced to ten years in prison, and it's almost time for him to be released from prison now."

 Juzo Megure said, "Jo Murakami was released from prison last week after serving his sentence."

 Mouri Ran asked, "What is a banker who specialized in card games?"

 Aizen said, "It's the person in the casino who deals cards to customers who go to gamble cards."

 "This is Jo Murakami ten years ago."

 Juzo Megure took out a photo while speaking, and everyone saw that it was a photo taken in a casino.

 Mouri Kogoro looked at it and said, "It's him, for sure. If it's him, he does have reason to hate me, after all, it was me who put him in jail."

 Mouri Ran said in disbelief, "Isn't it normal for the police to arrest criminals? "

 Ninzaburo Shiratori said: "I also heard about this case..."

 "Ahem! !"

 Eri coughed twice, interrupting what Ninzaburo Shiratori was about to say, and said: "Let's not talk about that case anymore."

 "Okay!"

 Ninzaburo Shiratori was stunned for a moment and nodded.

 "Did anything happen in the middle?"

 Conan was secretly surprised when he saw this, but he didn't ask.

 Mouri Kogoro said puzzledly: "Murakami Jo hates me, if that's the case, why didn't he come to me directly?"

Juzo Megure said: "This is because he wants to torture you as much as possible, and then slowly force you into a dead end."

"There is one more thing."

Aizen said: "Master Mouri's name is Mouri Kogoro, which contains a five. If we count in order, it is still a little early for Master Mouri."

Conan asked: "Uncle, do you know someone with a cross in his name? This person may be the next target of the criminals."

"Ten, ten..."

Mouri Kogoro held his chin and thought.

Seeing this, Kisaki Eri said: "Someone must have forgotten that nightclub lady. If I remember correctly, that woman's name has a cross."

"Yes, it's Miss Towako Okano."

Mouri Kogoro clapped his hands.

Juzo Megure said happily: "Very good, now that we know the next possible target to be attacked, we can make a plan and catch the criminal."

At that moment, Juzo Megure and Ninzaburo Shiratori were about to leave, and Mouri Kogoro called Aizen to go with them.

"Master Mouri, I won't go. I still won't go to that kind of place."

Aizen refused out loud. He had just promised Mouri Ran that he would not go a few days ago, but today, he ran away again. Although it was for business, it was better not to go.

"Okay, then you can send Ran and Conan back."

Mouri Kogoro did not force it, and walked out of the ward.

"I'll take my leave first."

Kissing Eri said, and after signaling to a few people, he walked out of the ward.

"Mom, wait for me."

Mouri Ran called out, said goodbye to Dr. Agasa, and chased after him.

Aizen saw this and said to Conan: "Conan, do you want to go back with me?"

Yukiko said: "Conan will stay at my place tonight, and I will send him back to the office tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

Aizen nodded, said goodbye and left, catching up with Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri.

Walking in the corridor of the hospital, Eri Kisaki said: "Aizen, I'm going back to the office, and I'll ask you to take Ran back."

"Okay!"

Aizen nodded.

Ran Mouri said: "Mom, I have something to ask you."

Eri

Kisaki asked: "What is it?"

Ran Mouri asked: "What exactly did Officer Shiratori want to say before, and why did you stop him?"

"You want to ask this."

Eri Kisaki stopped and looked at Ran Mouri and said: "Okay, since you want to know, then I'll tell you, so you don't have to think too much, let's find a cafe to talk about it."

The three of them left the hospital together and sat down in a cafe not far from the hospital.

After the waiter served the coffee, Hibiki Eri said, "The story started ten years ago. At that time, your father was still a policeman, and Officer Megure was just a small police officer. Your father and Officer Megure caught the criminal Murakami and interrogated him overnight."

"So I took you, Ran, to the Metropolitan Police Department to deliver dinner to your father. Unexpectedly, at that time, Murakami attacked the guarding police on the pretext of going to the bathroom, snatched the gun, and met us who went to the Metropolitan Police Department. In the end, he caught me and took me hostage."

 "At that time, Murakami asked to arrange a car to escape. Your father drew his gun and pointed it at Murakami. During the confrontation, your father shot me and hit my left leg with one shot. In the end, Murakami was caught." 

How could it be?!"

Ran's eyes were full of disbelief. She couldn't believe that her father would actually shoot her mother. If it wasn't for her mother's words, she wouldn't dare to believe this fact at all. And this cruel fact made her unwilling to believe it.
