Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"Bai Jun, I have to work, why do you always follow me?"

"I just want to visit where you usually work, Eri."

"Although I'm glad you like it so much, it's work time now. Please leave as soon as you're done with the tour."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the office, Bai Quanyi locked the door, and then -

When Shiraizumi Yoshi held her waist, Kisaki Eri looked frightened.

"Why are you crazy!"

"I've been wanting to meet Lawyer Fei during work hours..."

"Bai Jun, did you lose to Teddy? Please don't disturb me while I'm working. I'll keep you company tonight."

"I won't disturb you, Eri. You're such a capable worker, you can definitely do other things while working, just like an elementary school student who likes to do homework while watching TV. Multitasking isn't as difficult as you think."

"What do you mean by 'don't disturb'?"

Even so, under the dominance of Shiraizumi Masu, Kisaki Eri was forced to accept Shiraizumi Masu while working.

Eri Kisaki turned on her computer and processed the emails in her work mailbox, while also busy answering calls from clients.

She did all of this while lying on the desk, because with Shiraizumi Masaru standing behind her, she couldn't sit down to work. It must be said that Hibiki Eri is very capable at work, and even in this situation, she was able to handle it in an orderly manner.

"Bang! Lawyer Fei."

"Bai Jun, hurry up..."

Kisaki Eri urged.

Shiraizumi Yoshi had no choice but to let go of Kisaki Eri.

Kisaki Eri tried her best to open the door as if nothing had happened.

Standing outside the door was Midori Kuriyama, a secretary with long straight brown hair.

"Good morning, Attorney Hime." Then, Kuriyama Midori saw a handsome young man sitting there. "Who is he... Attorney Hime's client?"

"Oh... I've divorced Maori Kogoro, and he's my boyfriend - Shiraizumi Masu." Lawyer Hime generously introduced her boyfriend to Kuriyama Midori, as it would be bad if Kuriyama Midori had any intentions towards Shiraizumi Masu. After all, her boyfriend was handsome and capable.

"So it's Lawyer Fei's boyfriend. Lawyer Fei, you're... a miracle! What a surprise!"

Kisaki Eri smiled softly and said, "Midori, your brooch is very beautiful!"

Kuriyama Midori was stunned for a moment, then touched the brooch and laughed.

"Teacher, this is your schedule for today!" Kuriyama Midori placed the schedule on Kisaki Eri's desk and handed her a beautifully wrapped box. "I received this gift box in the mailbox downstairs."

Kisaki Eri opened the package and exclaimed, "Oh!" "It's my favorite Ziguba chocolate! But who gave it to me?"

Kuriyama Midori smiled and said, "Could it be a gift from Mr. Maori?"

Kisaki Eri shook her head and said, "No way. I just officially divorced Mr. Maori yesterday. This shouldn't happen."

Kuriyama Midori said, "Could it be that Mr. Maori has changed his mind?"

Kisaki Eri said, "It's no use regretting it, I already have a new boyfriend."

Kisaki Eri opened the chocolate box and was about to taste it.

Baiquanyi stopped Ki Eri and said coldly, "Wait, Eri. Chocolate is poisonous!"

"Ah!" Kisaki Eri was so scared that she threw the chocolate away.

Bai Quanyi took out a silver needle from the system space and inserted it into the chocolate. The silver needle was immediately oxidized by the toxin and turned black.

"Look, Eri..."

"Huh? It's poisonous! Who wants to poison me?" Fei Yingli panicked. As a lawyer, it was inevitable for her to offend people, but poisoning her was too much.

Kuriyama Midori said: "Could it be that Mr. Maori divorced him in order to get revenge on Lawyer Hime?"

Lawyer Hime shook her head: "It can't be Kogoro, he's not that kind of person."

At this moment, Shiraizumi Masu received a call and learned that Inspector Megure was shot in the stomach with a crossbow and was sent to the hospital.

"Inspector Megure was attacked and is in the hospital. I have to go there." Shiraizumi picked up the box of chocolates. "This box of poisoned chocolates is important evidence. I have to take it away too."

"Wait...I'll go with you." said Kisaki Eri.

"Huh? You can't bear to leave me!" Bai Quanyi said.

"Of course not. I want to know who wants to kill me. I will investigate the truth with you." Kisaki Eri said seriously.

So, Shiraizumi Mashi drove and took Kisaki Eri to a hospital in Tokyo - Midoridai Police Hospital.

"Inspector Megure, I'm late."

Shiraizumi looked around and saw that there was only one officer, Shiratori, who was taking care of Megure Juzo who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet again under these circumstances."

Inspector Megure struggled to prop himself up and leaned against the hospital bed.

·· ········Request flowers 0 ··

Officer Shiratori handed Baiquanyi a chair.

"Thank you."

Baiquanyi smiled at Officer Shiratori, who nodded.

The melancholy expression on Officer Shiratori's face could not be wiped off. After all, the murderer this time attacked Inspector Megure. To put it bluntly, he was causing trouble for everyone in the First Investigation Section.

The rest of the police went out to look for the murderer, among whom Takagi was the most excited.

"Eri, please sit down." Shiraizumi Mashi gave his seat to Kisaki Eri.

Inspector Megure looked at Eri Kisaki in confusion: "I didn't expect that even Lawyer Kisaki would come to visit me."

Kisaki Eri said: "Actually, I also..."

Just then, there were bursts of footsteps coming from the corridor.

"Officer Megure!"

....... 0 0

When the people in the room looked, they found that it was Kogoro Mouri's family and the children of the Junior Detective League.

"Oh, you guys are here too."

Inspector Megure greeted them with a smile.

"Inspector, how is your injury?"

Kogoro Mouri approached Inspector Megure and asked worriedly.

"Fortunately, no vital injuries were sustained this time."

Officer Shiratori explained from the side.

"I just need to stay in the hospital for a few days."

"Eri, why are you here too?"

Kogoro Mouri saw Eri Kisaki sitting nearby.

"Can't I come over to visit Inspector Megure?" Eri Kisaki glared at Kogoro Mouri.

Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes, ignored Kisaki Eri, and asked, "Officer Shiratori, what's going on?"

Shiratori said: "The murder weapon used by the murderer was this handheld crossbow, which attacked Inspector Megure, and there was also a sword placed next to the murder weapon."

"sword?"

Conan looked at the sword in the bag in Officer Shiratori's hand, and it seemed very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Xiaolan glanced at Kiyori, then at Shiraizumi Masu, and asked, "Mom, did you and Shiraizumi Masu come together to visit Inspector Megure?"

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Kisaki Eri was a little afraid to look Xiaolan in the eye, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes..."

Bai Quanyi added promptly, "In fact, someone sent poisoned chocolate to Lawyer Fei, and also left paper flowers."

After hearing what Baiquan Yi said, Conan seemed to have received some inspiration in his mind.

He knew what the sword represented.

"That's what the King in playing cards means, right?"

Conan's tone was full of certainty.

191. The man who shot his wife

On the same day, everyone received the news that Dr. Agasa was also attacked with a crossbow, and a twisted sword was left at the scene. He was sent to Tokyo Central Hospital by ambulance, and everyone then went to Tokyo Central Hospital.

Dr. Agasa lay on the hospital bed in pain, simply because the injured part was on his buttocks, a very difficult place to describe.

Maori Kogoro's face was heavy and he was in a terrible mood. The third person around him had been attacked by the gangsters. If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed by now.

In one day, Inspector Megure and Dr. Agasa were shot with crossbows, and Attorney Hime was given poisoned chocolate. In other words, three people close to Kogoro Mori were attacked.

All of this is most likely a revenge against Kogoro Mori.

"Inspector Megure's is a rapier, Aunt Eri's is a paper flower, and Professor Agasa's is a dagger shaped like a twisted dough." Conan took out a stack of playing cards from his pocket and pointed at the patterns on them.

At this time, everyone was attracted by Conan's words.

"Poker cards?" Shiratori looked at Conan in disbelief.

"Yes! The criminal committed these crimes by following the patterns on the playing cards.

The first person to be attacked was Inspector Megure. His name is Megure Jusan, right? So it's Spade Thirteen. The sword in the king's hand is exactly the same shape as the piece that fell at the scene.

Next is Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki. "Kisaki" in English means "Queen," so it's the Twelve of Spades. The flower in the Queen's hand is exactly the same as the paper flower on the chocolate box.

"Dr. Agasa's name is Dr. Agasa. If you split the character 士 (士) into two, it's ten and one. So it's the eleven of spades. Jack originally means soldier, so he carries a sword."

Maori Kogoro and Shiratori turned the playing cards in their hands up and down, examining them. Seeing the physical evidence that resembled the playing cards, they nodded in agreement with Conan's reasoning.

"But why did the criminal use spades?" Mao Lilan was puzzled and could only express her doubts.

"Because spades represent death, just like hearts represent love. Diamonds represent money, and clubs represent happiness." Shiratori was very knowledgeable about this and explained to her.

"So the criminal is implying that all those whose names contain numbers between thirteen and one should be eliminated one by one?" Kogoro Mouri's heart trembled, his face became even darker, and even his voice became a little hoarse.

"Moreover, these people are all related to my uncle." Conan was very clear-headed at this time and said with a serious expression.

"what!"

When everyone heard these words, their expressions became serious and they all looked at Kogoro Mouri, who had a grim expression on his face.

"But who is the murderer?" He knew that this was a very heavy topic, but he had to ask it.

Just then, Inspector Megure walked in. It had only been half a day since he'd been attacked, and his injuries had clearly not fully healed. He simply bandaged them and returned to work.

"I've heard everything. If this case is related to playing cards, the murderer must be Murakami Takeru." Megure obviously had his own information channels and revealed news that they had never known.

"Murakami-jo..." Kogoro Mori's face was solemn, and he chewed the name with a slightly bitter taste in his mouth.

"Who is he?" Shiratori had only been in the police station for a short time and didn't understand many things, so he asked in confusion.

"Murakami-jo, he's a bachelor. He used to be a card dealer. Ten years ago, he was arrested for murder and imprisoned. He was released from prison just a week ago."

As he spoke, he took out a photo from his arms. The photo was obviously very old, most likely from ten years ago.

"Dealer in card games?" Mao Lilan had obviously never heard of this new term and couldn't help but ask.

"Those are the people in the casino who deal cards to the gamblers."

"So it's him. If it's him, he has reason to hate me." Maori looked at the photo in Megure's hand, recognized Murakami Takeru's appearance, and said heavily.

"why?"

"Because I was the one who arrested him ten years ago. But why didn't Murakami-jo come to me directly? If he had a grudge against me, he should have come to me directly." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his mood became worse.

"Maybe it's because only in this way can he torture you to his heart's content. Then tell you how it feels to be forced into a dead end." Megure looked at Maori, staring at him with his sharp eyes.

"Hey! Uncle, among the people you know, is there anyone with the number 10 in his name? Because his next opponent might be that person." Conan suddenly remembered and hurriedly interrupted to ask him.

"Ten, ten." Maori Kogoro looked nervous, and his mind was full of thoughts. He kept recalling the people around him whose names contained the word "ten".
