Chapter 537 Locking the Target...
Next is the last one, Shotaro Araki, whose right foot was broken.
Conan fell into the room in the same way, then asked the other person to help pick up the phone and taught him how to use it.
However, Shotaro Araki directly refused, saying that he hated bugs and mobile phones the most.
Conan immediately started shouting, saying that there was a spider on Shotaro Araki's body.
Shotaro Araki was startled and hurriedly threw away his crutches and checked himself up and down. He pulled open his collar, revealing a small bulge under his collarbone. At the same time, he inadvertently put his right foot on the ground and stood up.
As a result, not to mention a spider, even an ant was not found.
The old man reacted immediately and yelled at Conan: "You little brat, were you sent by those doctors? Go back and tell those doctors that my foot is not healed yet and I don't want to take those X-rays that are harmful to my body. All I want is a diagnosis!"
"Do you understand? If you do, get out of here right now!"
Then Conan was kicked out.
"Uh..." The people in the car couldn't help but look at each other.
Judy analyzed: "These people seem to be hiding their identities very well." She had no idea which of the three might be a member of the organization.
James nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it looks like we can only keep an eye on all three for now."
"No need, there's only one person to guard." Yuya and Akai Shuichi said almost in unison.
The two looked at each other.
Conan also smiled as if he had seen through the truth.
···
Several people returned to an empty ward.
Judy asked in confusion: "Xiu, do we really only need to watch over one of them?"
Akai Shuichi glanced at Yuya.
Youye raised his eyebrows: You are my brother-in-law, you speak for yourself.
Shuichi Akai signaled with his eyes: You should do it, you are a detective and reasoning is your specialty.
The two exchanged glances for a while, neither of them showing any intention of speaking.
Conan on the side was itching to do something cool, but unfortunately it would be too obvious even in front of the FBI, as only a few people knew Kudo Shinichi's identity.
I could only pull on Yuya's clothes and ask innocently, "Brother Yuya, how did you know that? Tell me now!"
Yuya shuddered, goose bumps suddenly appearing on his arms.
He rubbed Conan's head and pushed him aside, then said, "In that case, let me explain it briefly."
Judy and James immediately made a gesture to listen, and Shuichi Akai also looked at Yuya curiously, wanting to see if his reasoning was consistent with his own.
Yuya: "You should remember that only one of the three people knew how to use a cell phone, right?"
James nodded and said, "Indeed, but if they are members of the organization, they might pretend that they can't use it. Many older people are not very interested in these electronic devices, and there are many who don't know how to use them, just like that Nishiya Chuugo."
"That man is innocent." Yuya denied, "If he is really a member of the organization, he sneaked in here to inquire about Mizunashi Rena's news. How could he still be dragging a sick body? This will greatly affect his infiltration mission."
"And Conan just pulled the curtains, making the room full of dust. The man covered his nose and tried hard to stop himself from sneezing, but in the end he couldn't help it and let the air out through his mouth."
"Because when people sneeze, they will uncontrollably use force throughout their body, which will make their back pain worse."
Judy protested, "But I also try to hold back my sneeze when I'm in front of other people, so could he be faking it?"
Youye smiled and said, "At that time, there was only him and a little kid he didn't know in the ward. He was a grown man, so there was no reason for him to hold back his sneeze. If it was Teacher Judy, would you do that?"
Judy groaned and shook her head: "Although I won't hit you particularly hard, I won't be so restrained either."
Yuya continued, "That's it. If he thought Conan was suspicious, he would have refused to pick up the phone at first because doing so would leave his fingerprints behind."
James understood something, and pinched his chin to analyze: "In this case, the people in the organization should have pretended to be sick and admitted to the hospital? In fact, they didn't?"
Yuya nodded, "That's right."
Judy suddenly said, "So, when Mr. Xinmu was looking for spiders, he threw away his crutches and stood up on his right foot."
James agreed, "Yes, the old man's foot has indeed healed, and Kusuda Rikudo's cervical sprain should also have healed, right? When Conan suddenly disappeared from his sight, he "naturally turned his head back and forth to look for him."
Conan suddenly said, "And he drank canned coffee. Those cans were completely empty, and the coffee inside was completely drunk." He tilted his neck back, "If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been able to finish the coffee."
"He also said that he had just drunk a can, so at least one of those cans must have been freshly drunk. The coffee inside shouldn't have dried out due to being left out for too long."
"You're right." Youya nodded in agreement.
Judy pinched her chin, still a little confused: "In this case, there are two people pretending to be sick, but why do we only need to guard one of them?"
Youye said: "If I'm not mistaken, this old man should be here for the hospitalization insurance money, right?"
"Huh?" Judy was stunned.
Youye smiled and said, "As far as I know, many insurance companies in Japan will not pay claims if the hospital stay is less than 20 days, so he refused to take an X-ray because he didn't want people to know that his right foot has healed. In this way, he only needs to wait until enough time is available and get the hospital's diagnosis, and then he can get the insurance money naturally."
James analyzed, "But is it possible that the right foot is healed and it is easy to be exposed, so he simply pretended that it was insurance money and stayed in the hospital? And that person didn't touch the phone at all, right?"
Yuya said, "It's normal for him not to touch his phone."
"Why?" James and Judy were very confused.
Yuya explained: "Did you notice the area below his collarbone? There is a bulge there. It is the scar from the surgery to install an artificial pacemaker. If he comes into contact with a device that emits radio waves, such as a mobile phone, it will be life-threatening."
Conan quickly said: "But I took out the battery of the phone beforehand, so even if he touches the phone, he will be fine."
Judy suddenly realized: "I see. I was wondering why you took out the battery of the phone. Is it because you considered that the elderly person might need a pacemaker? And if you took it out from the beginning, even if someone asked about it, it wouldn't arouse suspicion."
Conan immediately revealed a smug smile.
